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…
Only when no one emerged from the tent did Dylan finally relax and seem to remember Tracker sat at his side. “Sorry. My nerves are a little…” He trailed off, grinning sheepishly as he rocked his hand.
“A little unsteady is quite the understatement, yes?” He shuffled closer, keeping his voice low and light. “I do not believe their opinion of you would change if they knew we had been intimate.”
“Authril’s would. She doesn’t like how close you’ve been prior to… then, and you didn’t exactly endear yourself to her at The Gilded Lily.”
Tracker grunted. The feeling was very much mutual. Not that her abrasive manner wasn’t anything he hadn’t encountered before, especially amongst those who had seen battle, but her treatment of Dylan was inexcusable. “And the thought of her ill judgment bothers you.” No matter how he tried to keep his true feelings contained, they hissed alongside the words.
I’ll see you all with more from In Love and Death next week. In the meantime, check out these other snippets.

Authril’s opinion has lost a few degrees of importance for me.

That’s good. I’m attempting to make her gradually less likeable as the story goes on.
