Rainbow Snippets: Not Yet Tent-mates

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.

It wasn’t long before the hound came to Dylan’s side. The man didn’t ask if his help in setting up the tent was required, merely took up a stone and started securing the opposite end. “All this would be a lot easier if we altered the sleeping arrangements,” Tracker said in a matter-of-fact tone.

Dylan remained silent whilst tapping the last peg into place. He knew precisely what the man was getting at. He even agreed that, logically, having one less tent to worry about would lessen the strain of finding places to camp. It would likely decrease their chances of being found, too.

Yet the idea of sharing such an intimate space with the hound, of lying next to that warm, lithe form, the very air filled with the aroma of citrus and cinnamon whilst the faint purr in the man’s breath thrummed through his body…

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