luna + kit w 50 orrr sophie + richard w 2 🥺 (also i hope youre doing alright & getting lots of time to relax this holiday szn!!)
Omg a chance to put Beckett Winters in an uncomfortable situation? Sign me up!
I’m just vibing with my babies (several dozen OCs) this weekend<3 at present I have a super good ginger pear cocktail and a delicious amaretto candle burning.
I'm doing Christmas prompts<3
“We could have left right after dessert,” Luna whispered, part scolding, part empathically, while Kit shepherded her from his mother’s dining room to the kitchen.
He hated being around his family. He didn’t need to tell her that, but he had, and they both quickly figured out that she made the best shield against his mom and sisters in particular. Compared to Anders, who didn’t get it, and Rhode, who would mouth off given half a chance, Luna was…
She had a complicated parent relationship, too. She was a veteran at this kind of thing, if you only took out the multi-million-dollar house and dozens-long guest list for Christmas Eve dinner.
She spun around once the island was in reach, then lifted herself up to sit on the acrylic barstool. She felt better that way, with her back facing the all-white kitchen bigger than her apartment in Atlanta before all this. “Are you okay?”
He tried and failed to look impassive. “Perfectly normal.”
Uh-huh. Normal, not-nervous men definitely ate three slices of pie to “look busy” and avoid probing family questions around a stuffy, don’t-touch-anything dining table. Biting her lip, she glanced over her shoulder, where her gaze snagged on the picked-over appetizers from before dinner. They weren’t in perfect shape, but they were serviceable, and who was she to say Kit couldn’t eat his feelings this one time?
Besides, one plate had tiny, round, fancy flatbreads. Those were basically just cold pizza, and she reached to drag the dish close. “C’mere.”
Although she was literally talking to the flatbreads, Kit shifted closer, too. His arm sank down to cradle her shoulders; he stood over her in his sexy, protective alpha way, and when she looked up?
His eyes were intense and clear—pleading for her to fix whatever knot he found himself in.
“Let’s just take a minute,” she whispered before gently bringing a flatbread to his mouth, “and finish these. Cool off.”
He hummed—mouth too busy taking a bite and nuzzling her palm to give her a proper answer. Bond or no bond—with or without the cool relief flowing from him to her—she knew exactly what that meant.
i have to tell you, your skill at writing mmcs in general is nigh unmatched, but kit specifically has bewitched me body and soul etc etc, to the point where ive been known to fantasize about him when falling asleep 😭
This has me like 🥰 I'm a little bit in love with all my MMCs, not gonna lie—as an author should be, I think.
Taking notes on your thoughts on Kit though, if you want to share... 📝
Have I ever explained my very specific rules about coffee?
Cortado or flat white if before 11 AM, both with oat milk.
Espresso, preferably double, any time after, and always after dinner. Biscotti ideal. Rock candy stirrer also acceptable.
Unless the whole New England thing kicks in, in which case it's a medium Dunkin' iced latte with oat milk, get your Starbucks slop away from me. Sometimes vanilla. Yes even in winter.
I like to experiment with teas (I have a cabinet full of different kinds) but lately I've been reaching for mint or fruited green teas. My answer to boba is always yes. Matcha with lychee popping bubbles or a brown sugar milk tea with tapioca.
I'm a margarita girlie through and through<3 And I've been learning more about wine lately.
Also, Diet Coke?
13. what's something you learned recently?
I just finished a biography about JFK Jr. (hi, 90s fic) and I had no idea exactly how at odds Sr. and Jackie were, even before the kids but especially while they lived in the White House. He used to undermine her constantly, taking advantage of her mental health (she traveled often to get away from that life/him) to have photos taken of the kids and published against her wishes. Jr. was exploited from birth and it's...a lot.
