Rainbow Snippet: 11/20/21 Claiming Cody: A Rolling Jokers MC WIP

Rainbow Snippets is a group for LGBTQ+ authors, readers, and bloggers to gather once a week to share six sentences from a work of fiction–a WIP or a finished work or even a 6-sentence book recommendation (no spoilers please!).

In this group you’ll find anything from romance and historical fiction to mystery and YA. The common thread is that every story’s main character identifies as LGBTQ+. The snippets could range from zero flames to full-on sexytimes, anything goes content-wise. The only rule is snippets will be 6 sentences long–one for each color in the Pride flag.

I would invite everyone to please come check out the Rainbow Snippets group, click on a link, read and comment on the writing available and get involved yourselves in this awesome exercise. The link to the group can be found HERE.  

Today's Snippet comes from Claiming Cody, a Rolling Jokers MC Novel. Set in the same world as Burning Luck, Claiming Cody features Lucky's best friend as he struggles to be honest about who he is and what he wants, even in the face of the two men poised and ready to give it to him.

The final room they stepped into was filled with laughter. Three ladies around a table playing cards and swapping stories, until their eyes landed on Cody.

“Land sakes T, where have you been hiding this one. You’re supposed to let the candy out of the kitchen once in a while.”

Stammering, Cody looked around at the three, trying to figure out who to address first.

“Mrs. Monroe, would you like your meal on a tray, or will you ladies be dining at the table?” Cody asked.

“Oh, he called us ladies, bless his heart, isn’t he the cutest thing. If he’d known us in our prime he wouldn’t call us ladies,” Mrs. Monroe remarked, drawing giggles from the other ladies. 

Each pushed the cards towards the center of the table, making room and answering Cody’s question at the same time. 

“And it’s Ramona, please, I haven’t been Mrs. Monroe in fourteen years, may the old fool rest in peace.”
