Snippet – Rule One

Rule one of dating a dragon sorceress: It’s best to save the affectionate threats for when her dragon’s not standing behind you. 🐉

"Did you just compliment me, Captain?"

"No." Maria tried to wipe the blood from Em's eye with her thumb, but the steady flow made it impossible. "I was complimenting myself, actually—for my brilliant instincts in hiring you."

Maria ripped part of her sleeve and tried to use the fabric to slow the blood flow, but it soaked through before she even found the source.

It was in Em's hair, on her neck...

Maria jerked her hands back. "Em, you keep bleeding!"

"Mm." Em closed her eyes and swayed. "It's just a head wound."

"Just?" Maria caught her by the arms. "I'm going to kill you."

Maria didn't realize her mistake until the dragon behind her growled.

I shared this snippet from Goddess of the Sea (Lesbians, Pirates, & Dragons: Book 2) for the #lesficfri theme, “hair” —because I’m sure blood-soaked hair was exactly the direction everyone else went with this. 😅

Anyway, I hope you’re all doing well this week. ❤️

I’m finally feeling better (after what feels like a year), and I’m planning on sending out our newsletter tomorrow. So, keep an eye out for that. ❤️
