This week’s Rainbow Snippet is from ONE. I loved writing this book because I was able to imagine myself back in Northern Italy as I wrote it. \u00a0I would close my eyes and be right back where the story idea started, a warm sunny day, traveling on a ferry to Bellagio. My partner loves to tease me when she notices I’m distracted by a story idea. A writer herself she is always tolerant of my mental wanderings. I hope you enjoy this snippet. Mac and Lana will always be one of my favorite couples.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

From ONE:<\/span><\/p>\n

Mac strolled over to stand in front of her. She set her legs wide. \u201cHow\u2019d you know you\u2019d catch up with me?\u201d She flicked the zipper on Lana\u2019s jacket with her finger. \u201cYou always ride crazy?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t.\u201d She tipped her chin at Mac. \u201cAnd yes, if I have to.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Pushback.<\/em> Mac grasped the zipper pull and eased the zipper down one notch at a time, stopping before Lana\u2019s breasts spilled out. Nothing on underneath.<\/em> \u201cWhat if you\u2019d killed yourself?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Lana looked into Mac\u2019s eyes, her gaze steady. \u201cYou\u2019re worth the risk.\u201d She rested her hand on top of Mac\u2019s and forced the zipper the rest of the way down, exposing herself.<\/span><\/p>\n

Me worth death? Losing a job? Losing money?<\/em> Mac looked away from Lana\u2019s eyes. \u201cYou sure?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Lana clasped Mac\u2019s hand and brought it to her breast. \u201cQuite.\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 the\u00a0group, 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. \u00a0You can follow this link and check out the rest of the fantastic snippets available each week.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
