Hello and welcome to another Weekend Writing Warriors post!
Thank you to all those who visited last weekend! This weekend, I'm sharing the another snippet from VAWN, the first book in my Sci-Fi MPreg MM Romance series, KADDIM BROTHERS. The story is finished and has been submitted. Also, I finally have a blurb. It's below the snippet. Let me know what you think.
Set-up: This weekend's snippet continues from last weekend. I want to introduce you to Vawn's best friend, Utahn, before I skip ahead so you can meet Vawn's future love interest, Ojokun. Enjoy!
“I’ll help you fly.” Utahn came up behind my daughter and flipped her up so her stomach was on his shoulder. Then he ran down the hallway.
My daughter giggled and squeed until Utahn put her back down and stared at me with his hands on his hips. “You ready to go?”
“I think so.” I scrolled through my mental checklist and hoped I wasn’t forgetting anything. “I’ve got my tickets, my communicator and charging pad, suppressants, and enough clothes for two people. I hope that’s enough.”
“A can of mesodenka?”
**That's ten, and here's a bit more...**
Utahn wiggled his brows at me. “You need other protection. Suppressants aren’t enough. You never know who else these space racers have been with.”
“Po-tec-shun? Fwom what?” Enif stared up at me with her bottom lip sticking out.” I sought space racers were good guys.”
“They are.” I crouched down in front of her, wishing my best friend had kept his mouth shut. “But don’t worry. If there are any bad racers, your uncles will protect me from them.”
I hugged my daughter while glaring over her shoulder at Utahn. “I love you, Ennie. And I’m going to miss you so much while I’m gone.”
“Don’t wowwie, Daddy.” She squeezed me tight. “I be good for Utahn.”
VAWN
Kaddim Brothers book one
Vawn doesn’t need a mate. He’s already established himself universe-wide as a hot name in fashion, while raising his daughter. But he won’t say no to a fling with a hot space racer when he travels to Eurebly to visit his brothers. One night. That’s all he can give. Because his heart shattered when he lost his previous alpha, and he hasn’t been able to repair it completely. He refuses to love someone like that ever again.
Ojokun survived on Jenegath in order to leave the planet and become the best space racer in the universe. Though he flies with a team, he’s never depended on anyone outside of his jet. He keeps to himself. Has one-night stands, just like every other space racer. But, after a mind-blowing night with the brother of two of his teammates, he can’t stop thinking about the gorgeous omega, or the foreign longing that scares him more than his overly-protective teammates.
Can Ojokun convince Vawn that he wants more than one night? Or is that all they were ever meant to be?
COMING SOON!

Oh my goodness--how well you have written the toddler 'dialect'! :-) Interesting premise. :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Teresa! I think I have it down pat from my own kids, babysitting, teaching Sunday School, and volunteering in multiple classrooms. LOL
DeleteLOL! Protection from what? Children and their curiosity.
ReplyDeleteYes! Some of the things I've heard over the years... Always good for a chuckle.
DeleteOut of the mouths of the little ones - protection from what??
ReplyDeleteTweeted.
Yes, they definitely know how to catch you off guard. Good for a chuckle after the fact though.
DeleteAww, such a sweet moment between father and daughter. I already like where this story is headed. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Julie!
DeleteSounds like a great story and I loved the snippet. He did a nice job of deflecting the little girl's awkward question in an age appropriate way.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Veronica! It's one of those "write what you know" moments. Not that exact situation, of course, but children can definitely catch you off-guard with their curiosity.
DeleteHe seems like a fantastic father. Great interaction with his daughter, who is just precious. Yu know they are great characters even after so few lines. Great snippet!
ReplyDeleteLove his interaction with his daughter. Also, the uncle. Charming.
ReplyDeleteYou've done a great job of making him a sympathetic character we can root for.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait till his daughter brings up "my daddy needs po-tec-shun" to a random stranger at the grocery store, or her daycare teachers. Too cute!
ReplyDeleteI love the interaction between the father and daughter.
ReplyDeleteThe banter between father and daughter is cute. Loved it.
