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.”
