Snippet Saturday–Holidays–November 26
Hello and welcome back to Snippet Saturday! This week's theme: Holidays. Happy Thanksgiving to those of you who are still in a turkey coma.
Sit back, relax, and enjoy the excerpt from Stranded with a Cajun Werewolf.
"Can I get anyone anything?" Burke asked. "I guess we should go ahead and start dinner. I can hear stomachs growling."
Angel laughed.
A moment later, Jules and André carried a huge cooler into the kitchen. "I hope you have space for this beast, cousin."
Frowning, Burke strode over to the kitchen. They flipped open the lid and he saw a massive turkey stuffed in between blocks of dry ice. His gaze swerved to Amanda's and then Kendall's.
"What is it?" she asked with the shy grin he loved so much.
"That, my dear, is a twenty five pound turkey. Just in time for Thanksgiving." Amanda turned in her seat. "I assumed you'd be alone and I didn't want all that meat going to waste. So Sebastian said we could bring it with us."
Burke laughed. He opened the freezer and took out a dozen steaks. Kendall appeared at his side and helped him move meatballs and bags of chili onto the counter.
I'm so glad you know…now I don't have to hide my appetite anymore.
For a moment he felt a pang of regret that she'd not been eating her fill lately. But that was all going to change.
It's all right. She put a hand on his arm and smiled.
Behind them, André and Jules wrestled the turkey into the freezer.
"We'll get you something yummy for Thanksgiving," he murmured and then gave her a quick kiss.
But with their excellent hearing, the other men in the room turned and looked at him.
"Something else?" Laurent asked.
"Kendall's vegetarian," Burke said. He felt the weight of everyone's gaze but he was not going to back down. He thought it rather cute that a werecoyote was a vegetarian.
"What do you eat for Thanksgiving?" Amanda asked, clearly worried.
"Tofurkey," Kendall said simply.
