Welcome to the WeWriWa blog hop, in which writers share 8-10 sentences from one of their stories.
This snippet is from my recent release, Amelia and Orion (Wild Witches of Beaver Bay 4). It takes place after Orion and the demon hunters have a training session that results in injuries all around. When it’s Orion’s turn for treatment, his scratchy personality tests the doctor.
“Fast healing doesn’t mean you’re not hurt,” Brady said. “If you want to heal right, you have two options, and you know what they are. So, do we get an X-ray or do you –”
Orion met Amelia’s gaze. Either way he’d be tied up for at least a couple of hours. At the moment, Brady’s method was faster and he wouldn’t need to leave the mansion. Later, if conventional healing proved too slow, he could explore other options.
“Whatever you say, Brady. After all, you are the doctor.”
Brady curled his lip and mumbled, “I swore an oath to do no harm, but sometimes, Orion, you make it hard to keep.”
About Amelia and Orion
(Erotic Paranormal Romance)
Demon. Vampire. Human. Orion is all three. From the moment he met Amelia Wild, his heart has belonged to her, but a hybrid like him doesn’t have the luxury of falling in love.
Amelia Wild sometimes regrets not sharing her family’s magical gifts, but she has one of her own — a genius level IQ that she uses to uncover scientific ways to fight supernatural creatures. For years she has loved her business partner, Orion, but he has made it clear they will never be romantically involved.
When Orion’s emotional restraint becomes too much, Amelia heads to her family’s ancestral land to get in touch with her magical roots. Lost without her, Orion follows Amelia to the Wild family cabin. Will this irritable half-demon and a brilliant witch finally surrender to the powerful attraction between them?

You’ve got me wondering why Brady responds aggressively to him.
I have a feeling things will go wrong. HELP!
Two very dominant personalities.
I believe Orion should listen to the good doctor. I definitely felt Orion making things difficult!
They do seem quite testy with each othr, for sure. Enjoyed the snippet…
Boy, he doesn’t get a break, does he? Even the doctor’s out for him. Enjoyed it!
I was drawn into that snippet. Felt like serious antagonism between Orion and Brady. I really like the premise of this story.
Happy Easter or Passover–if you celebrate. 🙂
No post for me this week. 🙂
I agree with Jessica very dominant personalities in these two
I like that last line. Good snippet.
