Rainbow Snippet November 4-5

11/4/2017

8 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 taking a break from The Dragon's Devotion for a while and switching over to snippets from some other books. This week, I thought I'd give you a scene between Philip and Amory in The Prince's Consort. I went a little over six sentences—sorry!
Picture

​Some time later, the sketch was taking shape, and he realized he wasn’t alone. He turned in his seat and smiled. Philip watched him with a fond expression on his face. 


“Are you done working?” Amory asked, keeping his voice level despite the warmth Philip’s expression kindled. 

“For now. I’ll have more to do tomorrow. I sent everything back to the palace with the messenger.” Philip strolled forward, stopping behind Amory’s chair. “It’s a beautiful drawing.” 

He glanced at it. Not bad, but not quite finished. “Thank you.” 

​
Philip leaned down, hanging over the back of Amory’s chair and Amory’s shoulders to get a closer look at the drawing, much as he had the first time he looked through Amory’s sketches. It was becoming a habit, and Amory loved having Philip so close, feeling the warmth of his body, breathing in the scent of him. If Philip wanted to study all of his drawings that way, Amory had no objections.

If you'd like to know more about The Prince's Consort, you can find it here. The paperback of The Prince's Consort, along with the paperbacks for all my Dreamspinner books, are 30% off in their paperback sale this weekend too. Thanks for stopping by and reading!

"If Philip wanted to study all of his drawings that way, Amory had no objections."
Ha!
I think it's more like:
If Philip wanted to study all of his drawings that way, Amory would draw faster.

Sweet snippet, though. I love the warmth of it.

I don't think Philip is studying only his drawings. :D Great snippet.

The sensory descriptions in that last paragraph are just beautiful, I can see why Amory wouldn't object.
