Rainbow Snippet: figuring out where to sleep 11/27/2021

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 Howl Down the Moon, book 2 in the Comet Lake Chronicles, featuring a trio of wolf shifter fated mates: Slade, Luka and Rand, as they navigate their newfound connections among growing unrest in the borderlands, where they live on the fringes of the pack. 

“Shouldn’t we discuss the sleeping arrangements first before I invade your space?”

Glancing from Rand to where Slade stood behind him, Luka got the distinct impression that he was missing something.

“You’re right,” Slade said. “We should, so, let’s talk. Where would you be comfortable sleeping?”

“Shouldn’t the question be where would you feel comfortable with me sleeping?” Rand shot back.

“I wanna sleep in the middle,” Luka piped up, hoping that would settle things and give him the chance to finally get cuddles from both of his mates at the same time.

“That’s not the issue, Luka,” Rand said, giving his hand a gentle squeeze.

And here he’d thought they’d left their issues back in town and could finally get with the hugs and the snuggling.

“Not yet, anyway,” Slade added.

“I don’t understand,” Luka said, looking from them to the double king that took up the center of the room. “The whole bed is comfortable.”

Slade chuckled, and Rand finally stepped out of the doorway, before hugging Luka, and kissing the top of his head

“We’re trying to work out if Rand wants to join us in here, or if he’d prefer the guest bedroom,” Slade explained.
