Rainbow Snippet August 26-27

8/26/2017

12 Comments

 
It's weekend, and time for more Rainbow Snippets. The Rainbow Snippets group on Facebook asks its members to share six sentence snippets from their work each weekend. Check out the group's Facebook page to read all the snippets and add lots of great books to your tbr. You'll find all sorts of books with the common thread that the main character identifies as LGBTQ+.

I'm continuing with snippets from The Dragon's Devotion, which is out in nine days (September 4th! Oh my gosh!). The last couple of weeks, I gave you snippets from when Corentin and Bastien first saw each other. Today, I thought I'd share a snippet from their second meeting. (It's a little over six sentences—sorry!)
Picture



​Wrapped up in his thoughts and hunched against the rain, he didn’t see the other person striding for the library doors until they collided. Grunting on impact, Corentin reached out a hand to steady the other person, and himself, and found them doing the same. They clasped forearms, and Corentin looked up to find himself confronted by Bastien, bronze hair wet from the rain, eyes widening slightly when he saw Corentin. He wasn’t certain why, but he liked the reaction. 


“Master Corentin.” The words came out on a bit of a gasp, and a frown flirted with the edges of Bastien’s lips. “My apologies. I didn’t see you.” 

​
He watched Bastien’s lips move, the almost frown, the way they shaped the precise words. He’d wanted to kiss those lips almost from the first moment he’d seen Bastien, though he couldn’t articulate why. The gentle kiss they’d shared at the wedding had been like lightning through Corentin’s veins. He wanted more. He was crazy for wanting more with this man.

If you'd like to know more about The Dragon's Devotion (or preorder!), you can find that here. Thanks for reading today!

This snippet sizzles both from the said and unsaid.

A lot of energy between these two. I don't sense they'll be able to contain it long.

Careful, such electricity is dangerous in the rain. Nice snippet. I'm intrigued to know what happens next in their relationship.

Crazy or not I'm sure he wants it (good luck with the release).

That was lovely. There's heat, but also a lot of sweetness to Corentin's musings.
