Thank for the tag, @priincebutt!
I haven't had much time to work on my biggest WIP, Vakantie. Hoping to get the brain to get back to it soon. But here's a snippet from the beginning of Chapter 2, Kaz and Inej's first wake up at the farm.
Kaz blinked awake to pins and needles running down his right arm. It took him a solid moment to realize where he was, and why his arm was both asleep and trapped. Inej was wrapped around it, head pillowed on his bicep. Early morning light streamed in around the curtains, lighting her peaceful face like a painting of a Saint. Unfortunately, Sankta Inej needed to relinquish his arm. Loathe as he was to wake her, Kaz tried a gentle shimmy. She mumbled rather adorably. Then gripped his arm tighter.
Wincing, he whispered, “Beloved… Inej… I kind of need that arm…”
That’s just unfairly cute. “Can I bribe you with breakfast for my arm?”
“Mmmaybe.” She didn’t let go however.
“Oddly enough, I need my arm to cook…”
Inej, without opening her eyes, scowled in thought. “Fiiiine,” came out rather petulantly.
He was able to acquire his arm, sliding a pillow into her grasp in the process. When he leaned down to brush a kiss on her forehead, Inej murmured, “Eggs?”
“I can try.” It had been a while since he’d cooked much of anything. Surely some scrambled eggs couldn’t be too hard, though. Once he got the feeling back in his right arm, that was.
Soft tags for @intosnarkness, @magicandpizza, @hotpinkmurex, @tinyarmedtrex, and @porcelainmortal if they have anything they want to share.
