It`s time for Tuesday
Tales.
Today we have a snippet
from Shake the Stars, my current MM
contemporary romance. In this scene, Dane and Bonnie, a female employee of the
lodge who Dane has kind of befriended, run into Keenan with some of his friends
and Dane has his first bitter taste of jealousy.
This week is our picture
prompt and all snippets must be 300 words or thereabouts.
This story may have gay erotic
scenes, strong social issues addressed and mature language. If those things
offend now is the time to move onto another Tuesday Tales blog. Thanks for
stopping by!
“Oh hey, there’s the pool
crowd! You so need to meet them! Keenan! Drew! Amber!” Bonnie shouted, took me
by the hand, and led me right to a trio of people sitting under a massive red
oak tree. “Guys, this is Dane Forrester, he’s a guest but he’s cool. Oh shit,
hand me some of that. I had to spend all day in the office!”
Amber, I guess it had to
be, passed a skinny joint to Bonnie who sucked a hit into her lungs as if she
were Tommy Chong.
Keenan looked up at me,
the light of the fire dancing on his face. I stared at him, mesmerized by the
play of light touching his cheeks and brow. Bonnie offered the joint to me, but
I shook my head and continued to stare at Keenan like a moron.
“Yeah, we met. How goes
it?” Keenan asked with a soft kind of smile. Bonnie shuffled a little at my
side, blocking the firelight and blotting out being able to read Keenan’s eyes.
Bonnie squeezed my
fingers. The earth could have swallowed me up right then and I would not have
cared. I pulled my hand from hers and put some distance between us. Keenan, it
seemed, cared not a whit about Bonnie and me. His attention was totally on Drew
who was perhaps too good-looking to be anything but a model. Bonnie stood her
ground, sharing a joint with Amber, who had flowing golden hair and a
perma-scowl, while I tried not to notice how Keenan joked with Drew and smiled
warmly at Drew and touched Drew on his bare knee in an intimate way. After a
few minutes it was all too much, and I wandered off, leaving Keenan and fucking
Drew with the stupid perfectly proportionate face to touch and whisper like
lovers. Ugh, they probably were.

What a perfect last sentence! Enthralling deep POV.
Love the tension building and the jealousy. This is not a simple story and that intrigues me.
Thank you Flossie and Jean!
No! Keenan belongs with Drew! *throws temper tantrum*
Love these characters just like I love the other ones! Great job!
