Hello and welcome to another Weekend Writing Warriors post!
Thank you to everyone who visited me last weekend! This weekend, I'm continuing with a snippet from the third story in my Shifter Towers series, PIKA OMEGA PLUS ONE. It's an MM MPreg Shifter Romance. The story is now available in both ebook and print.
Set-up: In last weekend's snippet, we met Yoni, a paid intern at Saramto Shifter New Network, who is one of the handful of non-shifters in the metropolis. This weekend is a repeat scene that takes place at NJ Foods, but from Yoni's POV instead of Milo's. (punctuation changed to fit the 10 sentence limit)
At the soup station, there were always six to choose from along with the basic chicken noodle and chili. Today, they had Kusksu, a traditional Maltese soup, which looked and smelled delicious; food I never would have had a chance to enjoy back in Bolton; everything there was so traditionally greasy, tasting of fat and salt. I scooped some of the Kusksu into my reusable bowl then slid over to see what they had for sandwiches.
I hadn’t watched where I was going, my eyes too focused on the food, and I tripped over someone. My soup fell out of my hand, and when the container hit the person I tripped over, the lid opened, and the soup spilled down his back. I gasped as he jumped up, cursing under his breath. I grabbed a handful of napkins to wipe it off him, but he spun away from me, untucking his shirt in the process.
“Sorry!” I grabbed his arm, trying to get him to hold still so I could help; I felt horrible. “I’m so sorry.”

PIKA OMEGA PLUS ONE
Shifter Towers book three
Milo
My mate died in a horrible car crash the night after he claimed me. I didn’t know I was pregnant with his child until he was buried in the ground. Luckily, my brother and his family supported me through it all. Now, it’s time for me to earn my keep. I’m going back to work. Not only to earn money, but to have a social life again. Even if just during the hours I’m at my job. Because I’m nowhere near ready for another relationship. Not sure I ever will be.
Yoni
I moved to Saramto to take a paid intern position at the local news station. My first time living in such a big city. And as the time limit on my contract kept looming closer, I hoped to come across something to keep me here. Nothing did. Until I met Milo and his adorable son. Now, I want them to be mine and I have no desire to leave. But my time is drawing near. While I pray for some miracle to come along and let me stay, I must find a way to tell Milo I have to go.
Pika Omega Plus One is a sweet with knotty heat shifter mm mpreg romance. It is book three in the popular Shifter Towers Series.

This is an embarrassing accident, but . . . what was he doing on the floor?
ReplyDeleteHe was stocking product. I shared this scene from Milo's POV a couple weekends ago.
DeleteWhat a way to meet someone!! :-) That hot soup had to hurt. I'm looking forward to the reaction from this. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt was definitely hot!
DeleteMore of a meet painful rather than a meet cute, but I think they will both get past it. :) Great snippet!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenna!
DeleteAn awkward first meeting - lol
ReplyDeleteWell, that's one way to get a cute guy out of his shirt fast! I hope Milo is the forgiving sort.
ReplyDeleteLOL Indeed!
DeleteThat's one way to meet (I felt badly he wasn't going to get to eat that soup though - you made it sound so delicious!). Enjoyed the snippet!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Veronica! I think he lost his appetite after the accident anyway.
DeleteUh oh. I hope this isn't his enemy.
ReplyDeleteNo, but not good either way.
DeleteNice snippet. I like that your main character tends to find himself always having accidents lol
ReplyDeleteKeep smiling,
