Rainbow Snippet 1/7/23: This story still needs a name

 

Coming this summer

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.  

This week's Rainbow Snippet comes from my current WIP, an MMM Pet Play book for the Pride Pet Play Project I'm involved in. 

Cas dropped his gaze, studied the floor, and felt his cheeks heat up. “I’m sorry for staring, I’m just, I want to learn and….”

“Nonsense,” the man interrupted, his voice even more like honey and song now that it was directed at him. “A munch is a place to learn, and we’re not shy about sharing. Would you care to join us?”

Opening and closing his mouth, Cas found that not a single sound squeaked out.

“It’s okay if you don’t want to, I just wanted to put the offer out there in case you did.”

“No, I…I mean, yes, I do,” Cas stammered. “Was just surprised at the offer is all.”

“You shouldn’t be. We’re a friendly bunch and you must be new to the area, I’ve never seen you at one of these before, and believe me, I would have noticed.”

“I’ve lived in the city for three months now but been too busy with work to make it to an event, until today. My friend Brandon told me about this, and I thought I’d check it out.”

“Welcome. I’m Daddy G, or Garrett if you’d prefer, and my little one there is Mouse, and yes, I know, ironic, but he loves the name and I love seeing him smile about it.”
