Hello! It’s time for the WeWriWa blog hop, in which writers share 8-10 sentences from one of their stories.
This week’s snippet is from my latest release, Snake Charmer (Confessions 1). It picks up where last week’s snippet left off, with Skye questioning why Eric wants to spend the night on the couch.
He pauses and turns to me, one hand resting on the doorjamb. “I didn’t want to make any assumptions.”
“The bed is way more comfortable than that lumpy old couch.” I smile wolfishly and pat the mattress beside me. “Unless you don’t want to stay?”
He saunters back and climbs under the covers, keeping to his side of the bed.
“Not into cuddling, huh?” A lot of guys aren’t, but werewolves are different. I might be a rogue, but that wolfish pleasure of sleeping close to another warm body is still innate in me. His spirit twin is a reptile–not sure if they like to cuddle.
About Snake Charmer
(M/M Erotic Paranormal Romance)
Skye: I’m a lone wolf, but I’ve left the forest to fight against demons who’ve taken over the world. Right now I’m with a pack in Baltimore, but their alpha respects my ways. I take assignments from him, but I live alone and fight alone — until the night I’m attacked by a swarm of bat demons and a hot little snake dancer jumps in to back me up. For me, it’s lust at first sight, but it’s more than that. I think this adorable little tough guy is my mate, even though he’s not a wolf.
Erik: I’m called Snake Charmer. Dancer. Contortionist. Spirit twin to an alien serpent who has always been my protector. My life has been a series of horrors with some beautiful experiences tossed in. I’ve learned to be independent, especially after my best friend and I were brutalized in an attack that left her dead. Now I’m out for revenge, and it’s brought me to Maryland, directly into the path of a gorgeous werewolf who makes me feel things I never dreamed of. It can’t last, though, and nothing, not even desire this deep, will come between me and my vendetta.
Warning: While set in a futuristic paranormal reality, Snake Charmer includes references to previous child abuse, rape, and murder that may be triggers to some readers.

Between a werewolf and a weresnake, this is one very dangerous bed.
Well, I certainly hope he likes to cuddle if they’re going to be in a relationship.
A wolf and a snake cuddling. That could get…interesting. 😉
I love your introduction into the “animal” sides. I’m betting he’s a cold blooded cuddler.
Loved the snippet! Don’t know if I’ve ever read a snakeshifter story before, cool… I put this in my weekly new releases post last week, by the way.
Interesting. I’ve never read about a weresnake.
I LOVE this line: “I might be a rogue, but that wolfish pleasure of sleeping close to another warm body is still innate in me.” Good snippet!
