Manhunt Monday




Cuff ME!!! And wow, that hat almost isn't big enough.... wonder if he has ever considered a baseball cap?

SIGH



As brief update... Looks like Changeling Press will be contracting A Snowball's Chance for an upcoming Hot Flash within the Snowbound theme. Here is a little taste of it (unedited)

A Snowball's Chance
erotic m/m paranormal

He was going to die, freeze to death on this bloody mountain. Josh’s teeth chattered. He rubbed his gloved hands together to restore feeling.

The small hole he'd managed to dig through the snow, up to the surface was almost covered over again. A half dozen pokes with his ski pole and the snow gave way, opening up the thin air hole once more. The problem was all he had was one tiny hole and not a prayer of being found.

“Shit, shit, shit.” He was going to die. Josh sank back onto his frozen ass, folding his body to hold the heat as long as he could. He had so many things to regret but his biggest was never settling down. Maybe if I live, I’ll give it a try….

He stood up again, stomping his feet across the small snow cave. It wasn’t going to matter since he wasn’t going to live. “I don’t want to die!” His angry voice cracked as it bounced back and forth in the small space. Some snow broke off one wall reminding him how precarious his shelter was.

“Josh Franklin?” A voice echoed down from above the snow.

Saved? He was saved! “I’m here! I’m Josh Franklin!”

“Back up as far as you can.” The words were quiet, almost as if the guy was whispering.

Josh backed up away from the small air hole, which had begun to shed dustings and small chunks of snow. Then what was falling wasn’t snow at all, but water dripping to the cave floor.

What the hell was the guy thinking? The snow couldn’t be melted. Any second the five plus feet of snow would collapse and crush him and possibly his rescuer too. But it wasn’t snow that came down. It was red and gold light.

Josh used one hand to block the glare even while he squinted to see the man standing at the center of the glow. “I’m being saved by an angel-”

The gorgeous guy snorted. “Fuck that, I’m no angel and you haven’t been good enough to rate an angel anyhow. Only thing you got right is I am here for you.”
