Weekend Writing Warriors

Time for the Weekend Writing Warriors!



For the next couple months, I'm highlighting sentences from my Boys of the Zodiac novel, the m/m action/adventure erotic romance, Aries: Riddle Me Wicked. Museum curator Ian has been captured on a dig and dropped into a cavern where he's discovered American photographer Lucas. The two join forces and look for a way out, eventually discovering a hole near the ceiling. Lucas climbs up, but Ian is more reluctant to do so, convinced he's gone around the bend when he ultimately agrees. Lucas takes his acceptance as a compliment, which leads to...


That earned him a glance upward, through one of the thickest fringes of lashes he had ever seen. “Somehow, that doesn’t surprise me.”

Ian started to reach for the wall, to try the same trek upward Lucas had taken, only to pause in mid-stretch. He still held the flashlight. The obvious question was, what was he going to do with it so he had use of both hands without losing the advantage of the light?

“Tuck it into your waistband,” Lucas suggested.

“And if it slips and falls down the leg of my trousers?”

“Wear tighter pants next time.”

Lucas is all about good advice, isn't he LOL? Enjoying this story, love the tone between the two characters. Excellent excerpt!

Very interesting. Someone seems a lot more interested in clothing than in escaping. LOL. Great 8!

Nice comment from Lucas - because he would never enjoy looking at Ian's ass in tight pans. Great snippet, Vivien. :D

This was great! And tight pants on men are always a good idea as far as I'm concerned. ;-)

Something tells me Lucas has an ulterior motive for wanting him to wear tighter pants. Cute snippet!
