Hello and welcome to another Weekend Writing Warriors post!
Hello everyone! Thank you to all those who came to visit me last weekend! This weekend, I'm sharing another snippet from my new release, GENJ, the second book in my Sci-Fi MPreg MM Romance series, KADDIM BROTHERS.
Set-up: Last weekend Vawn showed up to check on his best friend, Utahn, after Genj said he hadn't heard from him in a while.
Enjoy!
When I finally stopped, there was a cold, damp cloth on the back of my neck. Vawn took the bowl away then held another cloth to my forehead as he guided me to the stairs at the back of the bakery that led up to my apartment.
“You’re going to lie down, and I will take care of the prep work tonight.”
“But I still have a lot to do.” I tried to halt myself, but I barely had enough energy to stand. “You have your own job. And a family. I can’t expect you to do anything for me.”
He ignored me, instead walking me up the stairs and setting me on my couch. “Ojo is home and is fully capable of taking care of the kids.” After disappearing for a moment, Vawn returned with a bucket, crackers, and a glass of water. “Now, wanna tell me why you’re sick? Should I quarantine from my family for the next few days, or is it not contagious?”
*And some more if you're interested...
I sighed, knowing I wouldn’t be able to hide anything from my best friend. But I couldn’t go through the same pain as the last time I’d been with child. “You can’t tell Genj.”
Vawn shook his head and sat beside me. “You’re pregnant, aren’t you?”
I nodded, sensing his disappointment. Why couldn’t I do anything right? Between relationships, running a bakery, and being pregnant, I always seemed to fuck everything up.
Wrapping his arms around me, Vawn rested his chin on my shoulder. “I’m happy for you. But I wish you’d told me sooner, so I didn’t have to walk in and find you like this.”
GENJ
Kaddim Brothers book two
Genj is a cinnamon roll alpha. Even as one of the circuit’s best space racers, he’s shy and rather clumsy. Not qualities anyone wants in a mate, especially the omega he’s crushed on for years. But when Genj invites Utahn on a whim to visit him for a weekend, the omega agrees.
Utahn never expected his best friend’s older brother to reciprocate his feelings. Genj is a space racer, and everyone in the universe knows they rarely commit. When the two get together, sparks fly. And what once seemed impossible becomes a dream come true.
But situations change. And past relationships have a way of interfering with new ones. Can Genj and Utahn work through past traumas, or were they never meant to be more than a childhood crush?

I'm wondering just how badly this is going to complicate Utahn and Genj's relationship. Will Utahn confess his condition or try to hide it at least for a while. You've upped the conflict quite a lot! Tweeted.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jenna! Yes, this will definitely complicate things, but maybe not in the way you think.
DeleteWhat a predicament. He has to tell Genji. Not fair otherwise.
ReplyDeleteHe does, eventually...
DeleteWhat a good friend to have in such a complex situation!
ReplyDeleteYes, Vawn is a great friend!
DeleteEnjoyed the snippet because I'm glad he has such a good friend to depend on! You're so good at drawing these friendships and interactions!
