Morning Hangover ~ Read a new Weekend Writing Warriors excerpt from RET

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

I wish I could say things have improved since I wrote my last post, but since then, there was a weapons threat at my youngest's school, and my dog took a turn for the worse. We're not sure what's going to happen with her over the week. So, yeah...

Snippet setup: Last weekend's snippet showed things starting to heat up between Ret and Ilam. And heat up they did. But, morning comes. And what happened the next morning and the following day are very important to the story. So, here you go. This is in Ret's point of view. Enjoy!

Ugh! I woke up on the couch with the worst headache, my mouth tacky and dry. Not the first time I’d woken like this. But my jaw, why was it sore? Sitting up, I remembered returning to have a shot with Ilam, yet everything after that was fuzzy. Obviously, I hadn’t stopped after one drink.

I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to block out the stream of sunlight shining through the only window in our common room and onto my face. Wait, something happened last night. Had I tried to kiss Ilam? An image of his face directly in front of mine kept flashing through my mind. 

**And a little more for your reading pleasure...

Definitely close enough to kiss. But had I really? I rubbed my jaw, trying to remember. Is that why it hurt so bad?

Nah! It had to be a dream. I would never do such a thing. And I’d probably slept wrong. Completely understandable if the empty bottles on the table were any indication of how much I’d had to drink.

Slowly pushing to my feet, I shuffled over to the fridge for a tabrue. I desperately needed to get rid of this grogginess before meeting my family. We’d agreed to get together for one more meal before my parents, Vawn, and his family returned to Orez. The first bottle of the hangover cure didn’t help. My head still pounded and my joints remained stiff.

RET
Kaddim Brothers book three

​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!
