Rainbow Snippet time! If you’re new to Rainbow Snippets, it’s a Facebook group where authors of LGBTQ fiction post a six-sentence snippet of a WIP, a published story, or a recommendation, every weekend. You can see all the snippets here.
Today, a selfish plug for “Home Is Where You Are” which is now available for purchase : ) Reviews welcome.
When Jacob’s hand came up to cup Caleb’s jaw and pull him closer, Caleb braced himself against a jolt of revulsion and disgust. It never came.
Jacob was the one to pull away this time. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to–”
Caleb caught him by the wrist and held on tight, not letting him move more than a few inches away. He grappled with his thoughts, and finally found the words to say, “I–I can’t make you any promises.”
Jacob stared for a moment, then shaking his head, whispered, “I never asked for any.”
Those words about promises never really quite mean what they say, do they?
Especially not from Caleb. What he wants and what comes out of his mouth are two very different things : ) x
Heart-tugging last lines.
I’m a sucker for them : ) x
Beautiful!
