Hello and welcome to this weeks Rainbow snippet. More from my novel One. I loved writing this novel because it was like traveling to Italy all over again.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Mac placed the white pastry box on the table. She untied the blue and white ribbon and opened the box and pulled back the wax paper. The cannoli were nestled together and the scent of them filled the air.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lana picked up the ribbon and wound it through her fingers. \u201cMmmm. I know this place. What kind did you get?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTwo traditional and two pistachio chocolate chip.\u201d<\/span>
\n Lana\u2019s face was hard to see in the light and Mac wished she could watch her\u00a0<\/span>expression as she took the first bite of her cannoli. The tender pastry cracked and a bit of filling squeezed out and onto the corner of Lana\u2019s mouth. Mac wanted to slide over and kiss the sweet cream off Lana\u2019s lips before taking her back to her room and feasting on her body till dawn. She scooted closer on the bench. Lana turned her face to Mac, her eyes wide in the dim light. Mac reached over and used her finger to wipe the spot of filling off the corner of Lana\u2019s mouth. She reached up and caught Mac\u2019s hand and pulled it to her mouth. She licked the filling off Mac\u2019s finger, the touch of her tongue quick and light.<\/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><\/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 f<\/span>lag.<\/span><\/p>\n
