From Both Ends of the Whip:<\/span>
\nBridget leaned her head against Octavia\u2019s chest and pressed herself tighter into Octavia\u2019s arms. \u201cI\u2019m sorry about last night. I\u2019m glad you woke me.\u201d<\/span>
\nOctavia opened her mouth to speak but shut it when she heard Vivian clearing her throat as she entered the kitchen. Breaking their embrace, they turned as one to face her.<\/span>
\n\u201cIs there coffee?\u201d Her voice was rough around the edges. Her tight curls were swept up in a head wrap, showing off her profile. She wore a silk thigh-length aqua-blue dressing gown that clung to her. Her dark nipples were visible through the thin fabric. The shortness of the robe displayed Vivian\u2019s long legs. A wide keloid scar blossomed in the center of Vivian\u2019s calf and crossed the front of her knee before it disappeared under her gown.<\/span>
\nNothing on under there. Damn. What the hell made that scar? Car accident? Damn. Don\u2019t stare. Too late. Octavia\u2019s cheeks grew warm, and she shifted her gaze to Vivian\u2019s face. The raised eyebrow and cool look in her eyes let Octavia know she had noticed her staring. Octavia glanced at the floor and tucked her hands in her back pockets.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Rainbow Snippets( https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/RainbowSnippets\/<\/a>)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 groupyou\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
