She strode back to the suite, knowing that if she didn\u2019t knock now, she would never do it. She hammered on the door. She waited with her fingernails digging into her palms.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHaven\u2019t we been over this already, Rhonda?\u201d Miranda said as she appeared in the opening.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNot Rhonda.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Miranda stood there in sweatpants and an old T-shirt, a quiet smile on her unpainted lips. Gina was lost. All the words she had rehearsed on her way over were gone.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cYou came.\u201d Miranda reached out and grabbed Gina\u2019s hand, pulling her in and closing the door behind her.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know why I did.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou do know.\u201d Miranda slipped in close, cupping Gina\u2019s cheek as she kissed her. Gina grabbed the front of Miranda\u2019s shirt, pulling her hard against her, and shifted her other hand to the back of Miranda\u2019s neck to wrap her fingers in her long hair. Five years of want spilled over into their kiss. Pulling Miranda\u2019s head back, Gina kissed her neck, the small nibbles and sharp bites making Miranda groan as she pushed into Gina\u2019s arms.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

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\u2013a WIP or a finished work or even a 6-sentence book recommendation (no spoilers please!).<\/p>\n

In this group you\u2019ll find anything from romance and historical fiction to mystery and YA. The common thread is that every story\u2019s 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\u2013one for each color in the Pride flag.<\/p>\n
