Sunday Snippet — CROSSING THE LINE — The Favor
Thanks for stopping by for this week’s Sunday snippet. Today’s morsel follows last week’s offering from CROSSING THE LINE. Happily married a decade, Derrick has it in his head to give his wife a birthday present she has always fantasized about and will never forget—a threesome.
I’ve condensed this scene between Derrick and his lifelong best buddy Jeremy to fit the Weekend Writing Warriors eight-sentence rule, but I think you’ll get the gist. The full version is much richer though, and this hot & emotional 50k book is just $2.99, so… 😉
“I want to give Hanna something, something I know she’s wanted for a long time.”
“So what’s the thing—diamonds, a trip to Europe, a puppy?”
“A threesome.”
If Jeremy had anything in his mouth, it’d be two tables over now. “Fuck off, seriously?”
“Seriously,” his buddy said, tapping his index finger the back of his phone where it rested on the table.
The pictures, Derrick wanting to talk to him about something—no fucking way. “Holy shit, you’re asking me, aren’t you?”
CROSSING THE LINE
Lifelong best friends Derrick and Jeremy met Hanna at a bar ten years ago. Both wanted her—one married her. Now the other man has been invited to join in for one hot weekend.
Everything would’ve been fine if they’d had their fun that weekend, then gone back to normal. But they didn’t. And when past demons resurface, things will never be the same—for any of them.
