Welcome to Rainbow Snippets a group where authors, readers and reviewers post a six sentence snippet of a WIP, book, review, recommendation or just about anything they like that involves words and LGBT themes, on their own blog or website, then link back to the Rainbow Snippets facebook page where you will find links to all the snippets.
This way you can find little tasters of your next favourite writer, recommendations for your new favourite book and just hear little bites from people who might become your new best friend. Have a ball peoples.
This is from my current WIP. Here’s the blurb
Cammy’s home life is unusual. He is one of four children by four different fathers all of whom are still in a relationship with his mother (and sometimes each other)
Thorne is from an ultra conservative background and is thrown into the world of communes and unusual combinations when his own family turn their backs on him
Bow is…well Bow.
Can Thorne get over his hangups and see that the three are meant to be together, and will an assassin’s bullet end what happiness he could have found?
In this snippet Cammy and Thorne finally meet. I’ve gone way over six sentences but I just couldn’t contain Cammy.
Thorne searched his eyes, then slowly bowed his head and kissed him. By the time their lips met Cammy was no longer breathing. His heart pounded so hard it blocked his throat.
Cammy made a sound halfway between a sigh and a whimper, and Thorne raised his head. A beautiful smile crept over his face. “You’re something special. Why do I think I’m going to find it very hard to ever say no to you?”
“Because I’m very hard to say no to. You won’t, will you? Say no to me?”
“I don’t know. Meet me tonight, and we can discuss it.”
Sunshine washed over Cammy, and he bounced excitedly on the balls of his feet. “Kiss me again,” he commanded. Thorne didn’t say no.
Next time we’ll meet the third amigo and then we’ll see if I’ll tease you with any more or move on to something else.
Sweet!! 😀
Love it when one MC finds another irresistible.
I never do just six sentences! Too hard to give a good taste that way.
I know. I spend more time deciding which lines to include than to do the post.
I have to say I found Cammy irresistible when I was writing him.
Oh, yeah, we need more of this.
We’ll meet Bow next week, then see how we go for more.
Such a sweet scene…love it! 🙂
Thank you. Cammy is a really sweet person. Thorne is darker and deeper but he has a definite sweetness too
Awwww. Very sweet.
Thank you
Awwww, this is super sweet. I don’t think I could say no to Cammy either!
I know I couldn’t. He wouldn’t leave me alone when I was writing him. This book was written fast 🙂 I couldn’t get the words out fast enough. There were times when they had me in tears and times when I burst out laughing in embaressing placed
This is very sweet. I’m sure Cammy is hard to say no to.
Absolutely. I never could
Because I’m very hard to say no to. <- love this comeback. 😀
Awesome humour, and the parents sound like much fun!
Cammy has a wicked sense of humour. Thorne does too but he’s darker and more restrained. Bow is entirely different. He doesn’t really understand humour but can be accidentally funny. For example he considers himself to be a bit of a prune as far as sex is concerned (should be prude) and in a short story I wrote, times a while after the end of the main books he says he’s going to eat cherries with Cammy and Thorne because, of course, cherries don’t pop.
That scene is just too cute! They are adorable together.
They are, and wait until we introduce Bow to the mix
Aww, I loved that. Cammy’s irresistible.
He absolutely is. He’s adorable
Nice introduction.
Such a sweet scene!
