MPreg Author Colbie Dunbar is once again hosting the MPreg Advent Calendar from December 1 to 24. And today is my day! For my day, I decided to offer GENJ, the second book in my MPreg SciFi Romance series, for FREE at Amazon! 

Stars! Inside, my team sat at the table, munching on treats that Utahn had likely sent with Genj. Which meant we weren’t training right away but learning a new maneuver. I should have known. There is no way to avoid any of them now.

With a sigh, I shuffled into the room. I couldn’t hide any longer but could only hope none of them noticed the bite mark on my shoulder. Particularly Ret. I didn’t want to talk about what happened, especially in front of our teammates. I simply had to get through this part of the day. My training uniform covered most of the mark but not all.

**And a little more...

I took the empty chair, sitting as still as possible. As much as I was tempted to have one of Utahn’s delicious treats, I didn’t dare reach for one. I couldn’t risk exposing my shoulder. Instead, I waited for Ret to start the session, show us the new maneuver before we moved to the simulators to practice it. I could do this.

“The Joedanae maneuver is similar to thidemrev, in that our goal is to fake out our competition. But, unlike the maneuver we never got to perform—and somehow all the other teams knew about it—this time Ilam will still cross the finish line first.”

​A holoscreen appeared in the middle of the table, projecting detailed diagrams Ret had drawn up. They showed us where to be, when, and how to get there. All with contingency plans, depending on how our competition would react. When it came to racing, our team leader prepared us for everything. He was among the most experienced racers in the USRA and constantly could be found studying footage of the other teams in flight. He never spied on them but said he could tell how a racer would react in certain situations simply by studying their casual flying style. Truly, he was the best. And under different circumstances, I wouldn’t mind being his mate. But real life wasn’t fantasy.

​Ret Kaddim has the perfect life. He’s a space racer, the leader of the most popular team across the universe. Always planning, practicing, and racing, he has no time for a relationship, but finds plenty of willing partners who agree to his one-night-only rule. Because there is no way he wants to end up in a relationship and stuck with a family like his younger brothers. He’s having too much fun for that.
 
Ilam Nairan always dreamed of becoming a space racer. And thanks to a chance encounter with a retired racer, he is now living that dream. Far away from the mated and pregnant omega life his parents wanted him to have, he loves everything about his life. It’s perfect.
 
But one night can change everything. Especially when too much alcohol is involved. Can these two teammates survive the resulting media storm? What will it mean for their careers? The future of the team? And for them?
 
Ret is a sweet with knotty heat mm non-shifter mpreg sci-fi romance featuring an alpha space racer and an omega space racer who both believe they’ll always be single, snarky but loveable teammates, lots of space racing, endearing family members, an adorable baby, and a guaranteed happily ever after. If you enjoy teammates realizing they have feelings for each other, and all the obstacles those bring, be sure to download Ret today!

Hello everyone! Thank you to everyone who visited me last weekend! I'm back to share another snippet from RET, my most recent release.

Well, our old dog is finally doing better. Though we can't do anything for her ear at this point. We just have to wait and hope it goes down on its own. And I finally got to visit my oldest child, who is away at college. But with all the stressors of the past few weeks, I've been gritting and grinding my teeth, which led to a visit to the dentist.

Snippet setup: Last weekend's snippet showed Ret waking up with a horrible hangover, and no clear memory of what happened the night before. I'm skipping ahead a bit to where Ret is at the spaceport, seeing his family off. Enjoy!

After I leaned in to hug my alpha father, he pulled me away from the others then held onto my shoulder and stared at me. “You smell different. Why?”

My chest tightened. I had no idea what he was talking about. How could I smell different? “What do you mean?”

“You smell like them.” He pointed to my brothers. “Like you’re mated. Anything you want to share about what you did last night?”

**And a little more...

I flexed my jaw. No way was I going to tell him I got punched by an omega. “I got drunk at the dorm last night. That’s it.”

My father raised his eyebrows, his lips pursed. He didn’t believe me. “At the dorm? Not at the club? That doesn’t sound like you.”

I sighed, not sure myself why I hadn’t stayed at the club. What I did remember from the night before seemed really foggy. “It wasn’t busy, and I wasn’t feeling it. So, I left.”

My father pulled farther away, out of earshot of the rest of our family. “Listen. Sure, our kind got rid of the alpha-beta-omega hierarchy when we left Trid, but that doesn’t mean our basal instincts have completely left us. I know you plan to remain single for the rest of your life and simply have a good time with whomever you come across. But the alpha inside you may have other plans.”

I scoffed. The alpha inside me was quite happy with my lifestyle. A new being to fuck whenever I needed a break from racing. Exactly as I wanted my life to be. Nothing could make me believe otherwise.

​My father chuckled. “I used to think exactly like you. And I was around your age when I met your father. We slept together, and then I went to leave like I did with everyone else before him. Only my alpha didn’t want me to leave. My alpha had picked my mate, and it took me a while to catch up.”
