Welcome to Rainbow Snippets! Here’s a little more of Ashton and Lance from my upcoming novella with Pride Publishing, Stuck on Rewind.
* * *
Ashton fell back on the pillows and threw an arm over his eyes. He swore in exasperation when the mattress dipped and Lance’s familiar scent surrounded him. “Damn it—”
Soft fingers touched his mouth. “Don’t be mad, baby. I didn’t mean anything.”
Ashton peered at him through the dark curls that had flopped into his eyes. The guy looked positively forlorn, and Ashton sat up, giving him a one-armed hug. “I’m not mad. But you don’t need to keep doing that, either.”
Stuck on Rewind
Ashton has been in love with his best friend for years, watching him grow from a pretty high school boy to the gorgeous erotic dancer at the club where they both work. The problem is that Lance enjoys the attention of a variety of men while Ashton wants him for his very own.
After a day spent denying his attraction for Lance, standing by while their friend Trey openly flirts with him, Ashton decides it’s time to make his move or risk losing his man forever. Once Lance knows how he feels he’ll realize they should be together. Or is it already too late?
Aww…sweet and sad…
Poor guy.
Aw poor guys
Great descriptions. And I love the feeling I get from this scene of it being tender but not quite (if that makes any sense).
My heart bleeds for Ashton having genuine feelings for a habitual flirter. That has to be rough.
I like the balance of fondness and frustration here. Poor Ashton.
Poor Ashton. This makes me feel for him so much.
