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. Last week, Ian and Lucas were working to get out of the cavern they were being held captive in. I've jumped ahead some, after they've managed to get to safety, and they finally have time to discuss why the men were after Ian, as well as what Lucas offers...
“That’s what we’re going to do right now.” Holding out the binder, he waited for Ian to take it before settling on the opposite bed. “Sultis wanted you because of your language skills. You’re one of the best translators of obscure Classical texts out there.”
“And what are you so skilled at that they can’t do without
you?”
Lucas grinned and leaned back on his hands. “I find order in chaos.”

Well that seems like a great skill to have! Lovely writing.
Love his last line and the grin that goes with it. Gotta love a cocky guy. Terrific snippet!
Oh, I love that last line. I find order in chaos. Can you you send him to my best friend's house and help order her chaos? But I digress. I'm intrigued and I love the concept of men of the zodiac. Splendid 8.
Nice, very nice! I could use someone to find order in *my* chaos. :)
Very intriguing! :)
Enjoyed this excerpt, really liked the dialog. Finding order in chaos is a GREAT talent to have!
Is this available, yet? I like Lucas!
questions are raised and I look forward to the answers. Yeah I need some order out of my chaos also - would love to see how he does that
Order out of chaos? Methinks he's be a good scientist.
Those abs are quite ordered. Yum. ;-)
Order out of chaos. Useful skill. Interested in more.
He finds order in chaos? Can he come to my office, please? Great snippet.
Terrific last line! Loved it.
Love that this guy knows what he brings to the table. Great snippet, Vivien!
“I find order in chaos.”
Great line!
I seek to do that every day at work.
Kudos!
Finding order in chaos? Hmm, that could cover quite a range of possibilities.
Love the last line because I like to make order out of chaos too.
Order in chaos...oh yeah, great line.
Well, I could sure use Lucas in my life! Great snippet!
Is he available to work on my office, by any chance?? Lovely line, lots of possibilities!
His attitude suggests he creates more chaos than finds order. I like him already. Great snippet, Vivien. :)
Enjoyed the snippet and like the characters already.
