Hello and welcome to another Weekend Writing Warriors post!
Thank you to all those who visited last weekend! This weekend, I'm sharing another snippet from the fifth book in my Shifter Towers series, DEMON ON JACKSON STREET. Like all the other books in this series, it is an MM (gay) paranormal romance.
Set-up: Last weekend, Jet gave Toby a kiss on the corner of his mouth. And many of you were curious about how much of Jet's action were real, and how much was acting.
In this weekend's snippet, Jet is back home. Here's some insight into what he's feeling...
After stretching across the king-sized mattress, I palmed my cock and thought of Toby. The boy had cleaned up nicely after I’d started shoving basic hygiene products into his grocery bag. And now that he was eating a little more, his cheeks had filled out, and his eyes shone a little brighter.
I couldn’t wait to see what became of him after he agreed to give me his soul in exchange for everything he’d ever wanted. The young man was definitely special, and I didn’t think I’d be able to forget about him once the deal was done. I’d definitely visit him as often as possible between missions. When I’d kissed him earlier, it was different than with anyone else in the human realm. There was an unfamiliar spark in my chest I’d never felt before. And though I’d like to see a little more meat on his bones, I definitely wanted to hear him scream my name as I fucked him. But I didn’t want just sex. I wanted to hold him, too. Before, during, and after making him cry out with pleasure.
DEMON ON JACKSON STREET
Shifter Towers book five
Jet
Once upon a time there was a demon who was the best at convincing people to sell their souls. That was me. Is me. And now I have a new assignment, one Father told me would be difficult. I didn’t know what “difficult” meant until I met the young man, someone who has barely anything. Collecting his soul should be easy, right? There are so many things I can give him. Except, he doesn’t believe he deserves a better life. I have to find something he desires before the assignment is given to my brother. Because Crow uses the most villainous means to obtain souls. Lines I don’t cross. And I don’t want to see Toby hurt. There has to be another way.
Toby
I’m not like them. I can’t shift into a predator to defend myself, or even into a small rodent to run and hide. The wolf shifters know that every time they rough me up and steal my food. I always wish for a guardian angel to protect me from them. Then one day Jet appears, looking nothing like the angel I’d imagined. But I don’t know if I should trust him. He makes me feel things no other alpha ever has. Dangerous things. Not good when I have to stay focused on my grandmother. I don’t know how much longer I’ll have her around.

It sounds like the demon who snares souls is himself getting ensnared.
ReplyDeleteYes, he just doesn't realize it yet.
DeleteWho is ensnaring who???
ReplyDeleteExactly!
DeleteSexy and sweet. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Shari!
DeleteI like how Jet assumes Toby's fall is a foregone conclusion. I think he's in for a big surprise.
ReplyDeleteGaah! Blogger is ghosting me again. (Alexis)
DeleteLOL You're right, Alexis! He has no idea what's going to happen to him.
DeleteIt sounds as if he's not used to those feelings of caring for someone.
ReplyDeleteNo, he's not used to them at all. He doesn't even realize what they are.
DeleteSomebody has it hard for someone else - double entendre
ReplyDeleteTweeted.
Yes, for sure! Thank you, Daryl!
DeleteHmm, this demon is struggling with his feelings all right!
ReplyDeleteYes, he is.
DeleteI think Jet is in for a big surprise. Toby may feel his soul is worth more than everything he ever wished for. Can't wait for that conversation!
ReplyDeleteJet has never had a mission as tough as Toby. He really believes he'll succeed.
DeleteHow long will it take for Jet to realize that Toby is different for him?
ReplyDeleteIt may take him a bit yet. He's still determined to claim Toby's soul.
DeleteFantastic job of building the upcoming inner conflict! And it's just getting started. :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Teresa! Yes, this is just the beginning.
DeleteThe demon struggling with his is feelings. I want to know how this will all play out.
ReplyDeleteHmmm. Sounds like he's a goner. Nice.
