My snippet this week is from Quarry, book 2 of The Vampire Guard. Rational thinking was impossible. Blair’s brain felt as if it were encased in rubber cement, nothing made sense and any thought he tried to form drifted into oblivion only to resurface unconnected to anything specific. Exhaustion took over and Blair floated off to sleep. The water wasn’t as cold when he woke up and he’d been lifted, or maybe the water was lowered, so he was floating but not almost submerged. He shuddered and tried to heft himself out to freedom but straps around his chest held him down as did Forge’s hands. “It’s okay. Relax. I’m here. We’re all here and no one will let you sink,” Forge’s words broke through the murky haze that was Blair’s brain and he relaxed. Later, Blair licked his dry lips and pried his eyes open because Forge asked him to. It was more like Forge was begging him to try to look at him. Blair pulled his lower lip between his teeth and chewed on it for a few seconds then drew a deep breath. He was laying on a thick cushion that molded to his body and kept him from moving much. “How’re you feeling?” Forge asked. Squeezing Forge’s hand, Blair mumbled, “Hungry. Cold.” “I know. Hang in there, it won’t be much longer.” Forge brushed his fingers through Blair’s hair. Find more snippets in the Rainbow Snippets Facebook group. Quarry is available in eBook, paperback and in Kindle Unlimited.
