Rainbow Snippets: One Night

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 the previous snippet where Dylan’s imagination runs wild over sharing a tent with Tracker…

His final hit on the tent peg came down hard enough to crack the stone in his hand. The uneven edges bit into his palm, not enough to break skin, but his innate healing rushed to the site nevertheless to soothe the ache.

Shaking his hand to relieve the tingling such magic left behind, Dylan risked a glance at Tracker. Was elven hearing sensitive enough to hear a fist-sized rock break? Were his hound senses alerted to the small amount of magic?

If the man had noticed anything, he played the part of being oblivious well.

Dylan slowly exhaled. He had to stop these thoughts. It was one night. He’d spent plenty of nights with others. Not as intensely. Nor for as long and definitely not with that level of vulnerable intimacy.

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