Rainbow Snippets: Bogeymen and monsters…

_{^{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 last week’s snippet…

The only logical conclusion Tracker could make of the truth behind the man’s panic was linked to his own hound status. Whereas Authril was a mere mercenary, no matter how much she seemed to enjoy playing the role of Dylan’s warden.

Looking at it from that point of view, he could admit that not wanting to divulge lying with a hound was understandable. They’d been used as bogeymen throughout the tower for far longer than either of them had been alive, a fact which often worked against their usual task of escorting new-found spellsters just as much as it aided in hunting down the rogue ones.

When it came down to it, Tracker supposed he would also baulk at confessing to anyone about being pleasured by the monsters of his nightmares.

I’ll see you all with more from In Love and Death next week. In the meantime, check out these other snippets.
