My exciting news this year, is that in additional to my regular Kateness, I am also writing as half of Lorelei M. Hart for some MM romance. I've written a few MM stories and always enjoyed it but writing in a team has allowed me the freedom to be one of the guys while my writing partner (in a few cases we have one more author writing with us so partners) writes her own. I'm used to conveying more than one POV, but it's a lot of fun and a challenge to react to the other authors' characters. It's new for me, but such a pleasure. We each have our own skills and our own voice to bring to the stories. So far, readers are being so kind! I want to share a bit of The Dragons and Their Unicorn Omega
Theo
By the time we shifted and leaped into the wind, I’d nearly told him I’d
changed my mind. Ryder and I couldn’t get naked without wanting to indulge our
desires for one another no matter how recently we’d sated ourselves. And our
quickie in the office didn’t begin to qualify as that anyway. But we’d have fun
later. And a different kind of fun now.
We shifted fast, standing about twenty feet apart because we’d learned
that any closer could result in tangled wings. Which could lead to pierced
sails, resulting in no flight for a week or more and very unhappy dragons. The
magnificent creations of skin and sinew, cartilage and scales capable of
carrying us up into the sky were also delicate.
And hurt or angry dragons possessed a lot of ways of expressing their
unhappiness.
But thanks to years of practice, we managed the shift with no mayhem, no
damage to either form, and for a moment, I gazed across the clearing in front
of our cabin at the incredible beast that was my mate.
I wonder what our third looks
like? Not red…
Ryder’s reply was accompanied by a flicker of flame. No, I’m sure he’s not red. Maybe multi-hued
like you.
Or teal like you. Despite our love for one another, that empty
spot was always there, like the gap where a tooth had been pulled. Do you think we’ll ever find him?
Ryder crouched and pushed off on his clawed feet, wings spreading as he
cleared the treetops. Of course. He could
be out there somewhere, tonight, looking for us, too. Come on!
I copied his moves, just behind him as always. My Ryder, my hero, my
partner in life. His wings dropped and rose, moving great quantities of air
with each swoop, crossing the face of the ivory full moon, revealed by clouds
parting, as I flapped up to join him. I didn’t really think we’d find our third
anytime soon.
We headed back toward Haven, gliding down the mountainside past the
waterfall where we’d taken a picnic just the week before.
Between our two businesses we didn’t manage much off time, so the
afternoon spent sunning ourselves, swimming, and allowing our dragons out for a
bit of basking made us all happy.
I held my wings high and straight and rode the updraft, not ready to
descend into the valley again, circling the falls and remembering that special
day.
The water was icy cold, but the rocks
surrounding the pool at the base were warmed by the sun and after paddling
around, we’d dropped onto them. Ryder’s wet body gleamed, and I lay on my back
and drew him to sit on me, admiring the droplets in his hair, catching the
light. With the sun behind him, casting his face in shadow he seemed
mysterious, like a sprite from the falls come to seduce me. He bent close,
bringing his lips to mine in a kiss that began sweet and warm and quickly
turned hard and demanding.
If you've already found Lorelei you can catch with Pierce and Rhone from Christmas with His Omega in a free story Here
Have a great rest of the week!
