Today's six comes from my recently contracted I/R m/m novel Can't Make You Love Me. Sean's in love with his best friend. Too bad the friend is straight.
Sean let out a long, slow breath and threw himself back on the bed, wondering if he was ever going to get over what he was feeling for his best friend. He couldn’t go on like this. Simple looks would send his mind racing, off-hand touches that he was sure Dylan never even thought about sent him fleeing to the closest bathroom for a furious jerk off session, and what he’d seen only a moment ago had successfully reduced him to ruins. He knew he wouldn’t be satisfied until Dylan finally gave him the fucking he so desperately wanted. Which meant he’d never be fulfilled, because Dylan could never know about his sexuality. He’d never speak to him again.
For more emotional turmoil, check out the other author's blogs. You can find a list of them here.
Oh heck, I want to know what he saw a moment ago! Fab snippet!
ReplyDeleteWhat happened before! Such inner turmoil. Love your six
ReplyDeleteSerious conflict, razor-edged tension and the unspecified (probably sexy) 'what he'd just seen'. Great choice of six, because it's right in the middle and we want to know what happened and what's going to happen next.
ReplyDeleteDesire and conflict - a great combination.
ReplyDeleteLove the inner conflict!
ReplyDeleteSuch genuine conflict in this. Very well done!
ReplyDeleteNice conflict. Good luck with Can't Make You Love Me!
ReplyDeletePoor Sean.
