CSBB Snippet

Here’s a snippet from a CSBB work in progress for you to enjoy!

“What’s her name?”

Clearing his throat, he shakes his head. “I’m waiting until she’s finished to name her.”

She throws him a smirk over her shoulder and says, “You can’t think of one, can you?”

“No, I can’t.” They share a chuckle and he sits down on the bench. “Liam’s suggested Jewel, but…”

When she turns back to him, her brows are furrowed, and her nose is scrunched up in that adorable way again. “She doesn’t seem like a jewel.”

“Aye? What does she seem like?”

He watches as she places her hand on the wheel, her fingers gliding over it before she turns back to him with a shrug. 

“Something a little grittier than jewel.”

The right side of his lips tug up as he asks, “What, like the Jolly Roger?”

“Only if you get a permed wig and a wax mustache to go with it.” 

He breathes out a laugh and mutters, “We’ll see.”

CSBB Snippet

Here’s a snippet from a CSBB work in progress for you to enjoy!

As she walks down the hall, she looks around for something to check her reflection in and finds there’s… nothing. No mirrors, no glass doors… come to think about it, the only mirror she’s seen throughout the entire house is the one that’s on the medicine cabinet in the bathroom attached to her room. All others are just… she walks over to an empty frame that’s hanging on the wall leading to the living room and notices what appears to be a piece of broken glass in the corner.

“What the…” she mumbles to herself and reaches out to touch it, but then jumps back when she hears Liam’s booming voice echo from above.

“I’m not bloody talking to a door, Killian, now get your stubborn arse out here!”

Killian’s response is muffled by what she assumes is his door as he yells, “Leave the fuck alone, Liam!”

Her eyes widen and when she looks up to the landing, she sees Liam push himself away from his brother’s door with a growl.

“Fine! Waste away inside that room all you bloody want! See if I give a damn!”

CSBB Snippet

Here’s a snippet from a CSBB work in progress for you to enjoy!

“Hey, so are pancakes—”

His eyes are red rimmed and he startles at her presence, reaching up to quickly swipe at them.

“Are you okay?”

“Aye.” His smile is forced along with his chuckle. “Blasted allergies.” If his lame excuse didn’t tell her he was lying, she’d be able to pick up on it by the way he averts his gaze and rubs at the back of his neck. “What were you saying?”

“Uh, I… I was just going to ask if you were okay with pancakes?”

She watches as he walks forward, a small smile on his face.

“Sounds delicious. I’m usually only allowed such a privilege on my birthday.” She raises both her brows in amusement and he laughs. “Killian is very particular about sweets and sugars, so I tend to cook what he likes… though, on my birthday, he can kiss my arse.”

“So, I’m assuming he won’t be joining us, then?”

“No, he won’t,” he mumbles, his gaze once again moving to the ground. When he looks back up to her, she can see fresh tears are glistening in his eyes and it takes all her strength not to march upstairs and punch Killian Jones right in his face.

“I’m just going to check on something,” his voice cracks as he motions to the laundry room. “I’ll be only a moment.”

CSBB Snippet

Here’s a snippet from a CSBB work in progress for you to enjoy!

“Bloody hell, Killian.” He looks behind him to see Liam walking out, his shoulders automatically curling in. “What are you doing?”

With a snort, he motions out into the night and says, “Just catching some fresh air.”

“Catching pneumonia more like it,” Liam huffs. “Come, little brother, I’ve put a kettle on.”

Rolling his eyes, he grumbles, “Younger.”

He turns to go back inside, reaching up to shut the lights off on their gate when he’s distracted by a sound in the distance.

He waits a moment until he hears nothing but the whistle of the wind and brush of the snow before walking in.

“I’ve salted the back porch, though I’m not sure what good it’ll do. When I was in town earlier, David said by the time it stops we should have about three feet of snow.”

“That’s just the first wave,” Killian starts. “You remember last year, we were house-bound until April.”

“It’s a small town,” Liam offers with a shrug as they head toward the kitchen, “and it’s not as if anyone knows we live here.”

“The entire bloody town shuts down for the winter, so I hardly believe it would matter if they knew we were here or not.” He sits down at the counter and says, “The sheriff knows we are here and that’s bloody well enough.”

“And look how long it took for you to allow me to tell him.” He pulls two tea cups from the cupboard while shaking his head.

“There were only so many times ‘I’m just visiting’ was going to work.”
