Every week in the WeWriWa blog hop, writers share 8-10 sentences from one of their stories. Last week, my snippet from Fangs and Fists: Haylen ended with the demon Haylen disgusted by the “happy witch décor” in the RV belonging to the woman who helped free him from the demon masters. This week, I’m skipping ahead a sentence or two. Maddy, or Madeline, as Haylen prefers to call her, has just joined him in the RV where he is still recovering from the removal of the tracking device embedded in his spine.
“Are you hungry?” she asked.
“No.”
“How about some tea?”
“Do we have time for this?”
“I’ve been driving for over three hours and I’ve just fixed the RV. My brother beat the crap out of this baby and left me with the repairs. Next time I see David, I’m going to chew him a new one.”
Haylen wanted to laugh, but it would have hurt too much. Besides, he didn’t laugh. Not since becoming a resurrection demon.
About Fangs and Fists: Haylen
(Erotic Paranormal Romance)
Faith healer turned resurrection demon, Haylen served the masters for centuries, creating legions of the soulless. By bargaining with the rebels fighting the demon masters, Haylen was freed from a tracking device viciously implanted in his spine and reinforced with evil magic. Now armed with both his demonic powers and his former angelic gift of healing, he can choose his part in a world where good and evil are constantly at war.
Maddy, a young mechanic with magical powers, has studied Haylen’s history and finds the demon fascinating, but she’s even more intrigued by the man he can become. Haylen appears to return her interest, but will the good witch save the demon’s soul, or will he corrupt hers?

Sounds like they’re slowly growing more comfortable with each other.
They better take hold of what’s happening.
So much revealed of them in this short scene. Really like them!
I notice she didn’t really answer his question: Do we have time for tea? I guess that’s her way of saying Yes, we do.
Even without laughing, Haylen’s got a great sense of humor. I think he’s going to get his answer PDQ. 🙂
I hope she does make him laugh, unless it would hurt his spine.
Their chemistry is starting to click in this snippet. Good writing! 🙂
It sounds like they are getting to know each other. Loved the easy banter.
