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.”

I'm enjoying these snippets and the quick retorts! Wear tighter pants? Sounds like a good idea!
Haha, very cute!
hahaha. Love that last line. Got to love a guy with a sense of humor!
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 banter and Lucas' advice gives me a sneak peek of his personality. Great 8!
Ha! Love his response!
Good Advice. Wonder how the comment will be received.
Enjoyed the banter between them.
Ha! Love his response!
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. ;-)

Lucas wishes . . . But who wouldn't? :D
I can already see Ian coming out of his shell---great excerpt!
HA! "Wear tighter pants next time..." too funny. That's great!
Something tells me Lucas has an ulterior motive for wanting him to wear tighter pants. Cute snippet!
I'm wondering just who Lucas is.
:-) Great response, great idea.
Haha, cute line!
Ha! Good answer. He must be the smart ass of the two. :)
LMAO!
