This weeks Rainbow Snippets comes from Dangerous Life the third book in The Yakuza and the English Teacher series and concludes Jamie and Gou’s story. It won’t be the last time we see them as Gou’s nephew Kennosuke is getting his own book. Kennosuke’s book still needs a title, but the first draft is almost finished.
………………………………….
The haze of lust, of his desperate need, lifted from Jamie’s eyes and Gou could see him realise the ramifications of what he’d promised. Frustration. Low burning anger filled the vacant spaces left behind by his departing bliss, but Gou wasn’t going to placate him. He leaned back in his seat, an unrepentant expression on his face as he watched Jamie haul up his pants and storm out of the office. Gou listened to the heavy fall of his steps on the wooden floor, fading as Jamie entered the bedroom. Tension tugged at his shoulders and didn’t ease until Gou heard running water of the shower.
Dangerous Life is available to purchase now.
(And hopefully up on amazon soon)

Ooh. Stormy. Nicely done! You know what’s funny, I seem to come up with a title before my (short) stories take shape. Thank you for sharing. And Happy Writing!

Makes me wonder what happened between Jamie and Gou to bring on this attitude.
