#SexySnippets—
which is brought to you by all the authors who participate, and the hard work of Doris o'Connor who sets it all up.
Seven sentences from a book or WIP.
Sometimes hot and sometimes not, Sometimes happy, sometimes sad, but hopefully all the time good—not bad.
This week I'm sharing something different. Cheating a bit I guess, but please bear with me. It's not sexy in the conventional sense, because it's from my next YA book which is out very soon. But it is a teasing snippets and hey, Leira and Donny have their problems in the love or not together or not HEA or not scenario, just like older people do.
(Leira and Donny belong to a The Shalean Sept of Leopard shifters and live in the Trossachs in Scotland. In Shalea when you reach puberty you grow into your powers and often realise who your mate will be. Donny knows Leira will be his, but she is not sure. Sparks fly.
Shaleans project their thoughts to each other. It's Leira's birthday and she's sitting near the river thinking about her future when Donny arrives.
I came to wish you a happy
sixteenth birthday, Leira— and to claim you as my own.
Bite me, no chance, I’ll
never belong to anyone other than me. Why
couldn’t he get that into his thick head?
His growl of amusement rolled around
the clearing and she wanted to wipe that
stupid grin off his jowls. Whoever said leopards couldn’t smile was dead wrong—they could, and boy Donny did.
Bite you, Leira? Oh, I
intend to, and soon. and then, we will belong to each other—that’s my promise and
my oath.

love Raven (or here Jo)
