Okay, I think I’m going to be making this the last one from Stumble Forward…I’m running out of story! Pretty soon you could string all my snippets together and have the book. Anyway, don’t forget to check out all the other snippets this weekend – and for all the other weekends – on Facebook.

Jack pulled back to leave a space and rolled Alec into it so he could see his face. Alec tried to turn away, not wanting Jack to see his red eyes and snot and self-pity but Jack took hold of his chin and gently pulled him around. He looked at Alec for a long moment before bending and placing a chaste kiss on his lips.
As Jack pulled up, he looked deep into Alec’s eyes and said, “It appears you’ve been forgiven.”
Jack quickly swooped down to kiss him again, harder, deeper this time, as Alec’s face started to crumple under the weight of the heavy sobs of relief coming out of him.

The next morning Alec reached out for Jack but found only empty space in the bed next to him.
Awww…. that was sweet — until that last line. I hope Jason is just making him breakfast in bed.
I did feel a bit naughty leaving it there…but only a bit : ) Thank you for commenting x
Aww, I enjoyed that. I love the cover of this too, by the way 🙂
Thank you! I’m glad you liked : ) I’m actually trying really hard to find the owner of the original pic to get permission to use it as the cover…eventually. No luck so far so…*fingerscrossed* x
Cliffhanger…*dies*
*mops your brow* It’s only a tiny cliffhanger. Would it be giving too much away to say how much I adore a happy ending? : ) x
Oh, no, no you can’t stop there! Well, of course you can 😉 But you surely left us hanging, you tease!
Mwahahaha…I mean, so sorry about that : ) But just think how much you’ll appreciate it once I actually publish the rest of it! x
Nice.
Thank you x
Gah! Poor Alec! And poor us… Cliffhangers are my favorite kind of evil, though. 😀
Oh, he’ll be okay…probably. They are kinda delicious, aren’t they? : ) x
Empty space? that isn’t nice! I hope he didn’t go far.
I’m glad you like! Thank you for commenting : ) x
Okay. Is the book out? I want to know what happens next. Loved the snippet.
Not yet. Just getting it ready to submit to the RNA New Writers Scheme, then all being well, I’ll see what I can do about getting it out once they’ve had a look at it. I’ll keep you posted! : ) Glad you’re enjoying. Thank you for commenting x
Awww, but the last line begs a question. Nice snippet.
Couldn’t resist putting the last line in : ) Thank you! : ) x
Lovely snippet. Poor Alec. What was he forgiven for? And where the heck has Jason gone? Very intriguing
Thank you! You don’t really want me to give it away though, do you? : ) x
two heartbreaks in 6 sentences!
Well, when you put it like that…I feel a bit mean now : ) x
Poor lad! But he’ll be fine. Yes?
Maaaaybe. Probably. Eventually. I might be partial to a happy ending : ) x
Aw. So sweet, until that last sentence. I love the detail his face crumpling under the weight of sobs.
Oh, I’m so happy that line worked for you. I really wasn’t sure about it. That you for the lovely comment! : ) x
Oh, poor Alec! It’s never nice to wake up alone like that. 🙁
I know. My poor baby. He’ll be okay…probably : ) Thank you for commenting! x
Ohhh! Full of tension and emotion.
Thank you! I’m glad it came across okay x
