Happy Sunday! Sending everyone positive energy and hope you all have an amazing week.\u00a0<\/span>This week’s snippet is from a collection of short stories. I love short stories, writing \u00a0 them and reading them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

From Genevieve:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dar volunteered to take Bobby to daycare every day, but she didn\u2019t see Genny again until Friday morning. On her way back from the house, Dar dropped her keys. Skittering on the driveway, the keys slid under her car.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFuck.\u201d Even with her long reach, Dar was going to have to lie down on the driveway to reach them. Stretching out on the blacktop, she extended an arm and grabbed the errant jumble of metal. Hearing the sudden crunch of shoes on gravel, Dar paused, and then pushed herself out from under the car. The black pumps were inches from her face. She looked up as Genny squatted down next to her.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou okay?\u201d From her spot on the ground, Dar could see the bright red lace Genny had on under her tight skirt. Genny stood up and stepped back.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDropped my keys.\u201d Dar pushed up from the driveway, dropping her keys again in the process. Embarrassed, Dar stood up, gripping them hard.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou have some dirt here.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Dar\u2019s nipples hardened as Genny stepped close. Reaching up, she brushed Dar\u2019s face with her fingertips. Dar\u2019s cheeks burned as Genny trailed her fingers down her face. She let them rest on Dar\u2019s lips, and Dar trembled under Genny\u2019s touch.\u00a0<\/span>They locked gazes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Genny\u2019s amber eyes held Dar open and exposed. Slowly, she pressed the length of her body against Dar. Mesmerized, Dar watched Genny\u2019s tongue slide over her lower lip, the blood-red paint glistening. Dar clenched her hands. The keys dug into her palm. She ached with need and desire. Not here.\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0You can\u2019t grab this woman and kiss her right here.<\/em> She dropped her gaze.<\/span><\/p>\n

Genny stepped back, lowering her hand.\u00a0<\/span>\u201cSorry. I guess we\u2019ll both be late.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\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!).<\/span><\/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.<\/span><\/p>\n
