From Friends to Flirting ~ Read a snippet from HIS OMEGA ON STAGE #Romance #MPreg #PNR #Omegaverse #MLM #8Sunday

Hello and welcome to another Weekend Writing Warriors post!

Thank you to all those who visited last weekend! I've been sharing snippets from the fourth book in my Shifter Towers series, HIS OMEGA ON STAGE, which will release through Decadent Publishing. Like all the other books in this series, it is an MM paranormal romance. I'll keep you posted when I know anything about a release date.

Set-up: In last weekend's snippet, Jun caught Ash by surprise when he video-called him. It was really sweet, but now their conversation is about to turn a bit flirty. Enjoy!

My chest and cheeks warmed with his concern. All the people I’d talked to this past week had been asking AI questions. It was nice to have someone to talk to as Ash. I flopped onto my bed. “It’s been a busy few days, but I’m doing okay. Just a little tired.”

A slow smile played across Jun’s lips. “Ash, are you naked in your bed?”

The question caught me off guard, and I fumbled with my phone. He’d said we were only friends yet was asking questions like that? 

**That's ten, but here's a little more for your reading pleasure.**

“No! I, uh...I have boxers on.” I moved the screen out even more to prove it to him. “See. I told you I was getting ready for bed.”

He smirked and raised his eyebrows. “Ah, yes, I see. Those heart characters are cute.”

Shit. I hadn’t thought when I’d shown him my boxers. But what did I have to be embarrassed about? He knew how I felt about him. It was me who had no idea what he really wanted. “I know. That’s why I bought them. But, hey, what would you have done if I was naked?”

HIS OMEGA ON STAGE

Shifter Towers book four

Jun

For leopard cat shifter, Jun, being the rogue alpha in high school hadn’t helped him as an adult. Though he sometimes believed he was ready to find a mate, past experiences taught him that those he loves eventually leave him. So, he protects his heart by seeing omegas looking for nothing more than a one-night stand. Until he runs into someone from his past.

Ash

As the first omega signed to Adan Records, AI is anxious for the release of his debut album. Being a leopard cat shifter instead of an actual leopard like the rest of his family has always made him feel small and insignificant. But now he’s about to shine bright in front of the world, all on his own, without an alpha by his side. He doesn’t need one, and definitely doesn’t have time for one. Though when he runs into someone from his past who knows him as Ash, he wants to give this alpha all of his attention.

On Stage

But with all the problems that fame brings, will Ash be able to make a relationship work? Will Jun fight for the omega he’s sure is his fated mate? Or will they just let each other slip away, believing what they have just isn’t enough?

Ash gets a surprise video call in this snippet from HIS OMEGA ON STAGE #Romance #MPreg #PNR #MLM #Omegaverse #8Sunday

Hello and welcome to another Weekend Writing Warriors post!

Thank you to all those who visited last weekend! I've been sharing snippets from the fourth book in my Shifter Towers series, HIS OMEGA ON STAGE, which will release through Decadent Publishing. Like all the other books in this series, it is an MM paranormal romance. I'll keep you posted when I know anything about a release date.

Set-up: In last weekend's snippet, Ash returned home after a hectic week of promotions, and realized he hadn't texted Jun in all that time. Then he panicked. 

In this weekend's snippet, I'm skipping a few sentences. Ash did send a quick text to Jun then went to the bathroom to wash up before going to bed. Enjoy!

Five minutes later, I was in my boxers and finally ready to crash. No matter how childish it sounded, I planned to sleep with my hoodie, but I grabbed my phone to move it to my nightstand. It vibrated in my hand.

Unable to resist, I looked at the screen. Not a text, but an incoming video call request from Jun. I answered immediately then glanced at myself in the mirror. Shit! My hair was a mess and I had no shirt on.

I gulped, holding the phone close. “Um, hello?”

**That's ten, but here's a little more for your reading pleasure.**

“Hey, Ash.” Jun scrunched his nose. “Why are you holding the phone so close?”

“I, uh.... I was getting ready for bed.” I moved the phone a little further out, but not too far. “I wasn’t sure you’d even text back tonight. Definitely didn’t expect a video call.”

“Oh, sorry.” He glanced down, not looking into the screen. “I just wanted to see that you were okay. And confirm that I really did know the next big star in the music industry.”

“Aw, Jun, did you miss me?” As cocky as that sounded, I really did want him to have missed me.

“It was kind of hard to, since you were always on the television or the radio.” He smiled while playfully rolling his eyes. “But I wanted to make sure you, Ash, were doing okay.”

Ash returns home after a week of promotions in this snippet from HIS OMEGA ON STAGE #Romance #PNR #MPreg #Omegaverse #MLM #8Sunday

Hello and welcome to another Weekend Writing Warriors post!

Thank you to all those who visited last weekend! I've been sharing snippets from the fourth book in my Shifter Towers series, HIS OMEGA ON STAGE, which will release through Decadent Publishing. Like all the other books in this series, it is an MM paranormal romance. I'll keep you posted when I know anything about a release date.

Set-up: In last weekend's snippet, I shared Jun's reaction to Ash's confession. And you got to see that they have a bit of a history, even though they never talked to each other back in high school.

In this weekend's snippet, I'm skipping ahead. In the rest of the chapter I'd shared, Jun and Ash agreed to try friendship before anything else, as Jun is still concerned about Ash's hectic schedule and him being in the spotlight. Now, Ash has just returned to his apartment after a week of promotions for his new album, of interviews, performances, and sleeping for small amounts of time when he got the chance. This is his first time home since the night he talked with Jun....

I entered my apartment and set my keys and messenger bag on the console table in the entryway. Somehow I made it to my bedroom, but I don’t remember walking there. Had I dozed on my way? Knowing I was finally home had brought on the tiredness I’d managed to hold off on the ride there. And I was ready to simply crash onto my bed without even changing.

A good plan until I caught the scent of pine and allspice. Faint, but enough to give me a jolt of energy. I searched my room for the source, finding the scent on the hoodie I’d changed into after my signing, the one I’d worn when I’d met up with Jun. I grabbed the hoodie from the back of my chair, held it tight in my hands, and took a big sniff.

**That's nine, but here's a little more for your reading pleasure.**

Ahhhh. Invigorating, yet comforting at the same time. I couldn’t believe the material still held onto his scent after a week.

That night had been like a dream come true to my younger self, especially the kiss at the end of the night. Though not exactly where I’d hoped to feel those lips.

Shit. I hadn’t texted him since that night. He’d texted me back the next day, but I hadn’t had any communication with him since then, had barely even been on my phone.

No matter how tired I was, I needed to text him. How were we supposed to even be friends if I didn’t stay in contact? But it was late. He’d probably be finished work. But would he be asleep? Or maybe he was with someone else. An omega. The idea made my stomach twist.

Yet, I had no claim on him. And he definitely hadn’t claimed me, no matter how many times I’d fantasized about that happening. I’d have to settle for being his friend for now, or nothing at all.

Jun reacts to Ash's confession in this snippet from HIS OMEGA ON STAGE #romance #MLM #MPreg #PNR #omegaverse #8Sunday

Like all the other books in this series, it is an MM paranormal romance. I'll keep you posted when I know anything about a release date.

Set-up: In last weekend's snippet, Ash finally confessed that he had a crush on Jun in high school, and was hoping to have something with him now.

In this weekend's snippet, Jun reacts to Ash's confession.

Oh shit. I hadn’t expected that at all. I mean, I was surprised anyone noticed me. I wasn’t an alpha that many, if anyone, paid attention to. Not anymore. As an adult, what did I have going for me? Sure, I had a job, but it just covered my own bills. Didn’t leave any room to support anyone else.

I reached forward and rubbed my thumb across the blush on his cheek. “How could anyone not notice you?”

**That's ten, but here's a little more of Jun's reaction and a bit of backstory.**

He glanced up. “But back in high school—”

“Back in high school, I spent most of my day trying to go unnoticed.” I released a heavy breath. “Because when I was noticed, it was usually by jocks who were bigger and stronger than me.”

“Like my brother,” he mumbled.

“Yeah.” Nex was the worst of them all.

“I’m sorry for that.” He picked at a piece of lint on his pants. “He knew I liked you, and I think that made things worse.”

Ash finally confesses in this snippet from HIS OMEGA ON STAGE #romance #PNR #MPreg #omegaverse #8Sunday

Hello and welcome to another Weekend Writing Warriors post!

Thank you to all those who visited last weekend! I've been sharing snippets from the fourth book in my Shifter Towers series, HIS OMEGA ON STAGE, which will release through Decadent Publishing. Like all the other books in this series, it is an MM paranormal romance. I'll keep you posted when I know anything about a release date.

Set-up: In last weekend's snippet, Ash tries subtly flirting with Jun, but Jun still has his reasons for ignoring his actions.

In this weekend's snippet, Ash is ready to spell it out to Jun exactly how he feels. But is Jun ready to hear it?

(*FYI, Ash's stage name is AI, as in Artificial Intelligence. That's why his fandom name is bots.)

“What, that they think I’m your alpha?” I wouldn’t say cute. More like dangerous for an omega just beginning his career in the public eye.

“Yeah.” He ran his palm across my thigh. “Would that be such a bad idea?”

I removed his hand. Though I fought my leopard cat the whole time, I knew how dangerous taking his actions any farther could be. “You said you don’t have time for a relationship. Besides, I don’t think all of your fans would be happy about it.” The option of a one-time fuck was there, but I’d had enough of those to know they never left me satisfied. Besides, my leopard cat was too active for anything with Ash to be just once.

**That's nine, but I've got to get to Ash's confession.**

He moved away, turning to sit cross-legged while facing me. “I guess. Maybe. But the thing is....” He brushed a hand over his face. “I’m kind of embarrassed to say this.”

Embarrassed now? After he nearly scented me? Acted like we knew each other quite well when I hadn’t seen him for years? And even then we didn’t talk. “What is it?”

“I....” Glancing down, he played with the hem of his shirt. “Back in high school, I had the hugest crush on you. And I kinda thought, you know, now that I’m beginning to make a name for myself, that you’d actually notice me.”

Jun

For leopard cat shifter, Jun, being the rogue alpha in high school hadn’t helped him as an adult. Though he sometimes believed he was ready to find a mate, past experiences taught him that those he loves eventually leave him. So, he protects his heart by seeing omegas looking for nothing more than a one-night stand. Until he runs into someone from his past.

Ash

As the first omega signed to Adan Records, AI is anxious for the release of his debut album. Being a leopard cat shifter instead of an actual leopard like the rest of his family has always made him feel small and insignificant. But now he’s about to shine bright in front of the world, all on his own, without an alpha by his side. He doesn’t need one, and definitely doesn’t have time for one. Though when he runs into someone from his past who knows him as Ash, he wants to give this alpha all of his attention.

On Stage

But with all the problems that fame brings, will Ash be able to make a relationship work? Will Jun fight for the omega he’s sure is his fated mate? Or will they just let each other slip away, believing what they have just isn’t enough?.
