Rainbow Snippets: Silence… good or bad?

Rainbow Snippets is a Facebook group for LGBTQ+ authors, readers, and bloggers to gather once a week and share six sentences from a work of fiction–a WIP or a finished work or even a 6-sentence book recommendation.

Being a sequel, In Love and Death is set directly after In Pain and Blood. Some snippets will contain spoilers of those events.

Following on from last week’s snippet…

The warrior wouldn’t allow anyone to use him like that. She had barely tolerated him being in the brothel where he’d done nothing beyond looking. And being almost kissed. She’d spoken at great lengths regarding her opinion on Tracker’s actions there.

If he was to be leashed, to have a warden overseeing his every move, he would vastly prefer it was her.

Certain the threat of vomiting had given up tormenting his gut, he wrapped his arms around his knees and squeezed until his breathing finally calmed. Only then, did he let his shield dissipate.

The arguing had stopped. With the tension lingering in the air like the smoke clinging to his robes, he wasn’t sure the silence was a good thing.

I’ll be back with more from In Love and Death next weekend. In the meantime, check out these other snippets.
