If you’re new to Rainbow Snippets, it’s a Facebook group where authors of LGBTQ fiction post a six-sentence snippet (or there abouts) from a WIP, a published story, or a recommendation, every weekend. You can see all the snippets here.
This week… a little something from the final Alphas’ Homestead book which tells Ephraim’s story, from when he arrives in Lastford to the conclusion of the series. This snippet, a moment between Ephraim and Martha takes place toward the end of Home in your Heart.
Ephraim slowly freed his arm from Martha’s grasp and wrapped it around her shoulders, pulling her close against him. “All right,” he said quietly. “One chance.” Martha put her arms about his neck and hugged him tight. When her lips curled against his neck, he reluctantly huffed out a laugh and clarified, “But only five minutes. No more, no less.”
Martha sagged against him, then pulled back to look into his eyes. “I only want for you to be happy, Eph.”
Ephraim forced a smile and kissed her cheek. “I know,” he said, although he hardly thought it possible.
