Rainbow Snippets

Sorry I missed last week but it was for the best of reasons. I was at animazement with a handful of other Dreamspinner authors selling our books at the anime con. It was a blast. I can't believe it was a week ago already!

I'm back with a little more from Blood Red Roulette It's taking place outside of Paris hotel & casino (seen here)

They've just kissed but Luc's panicking because he knows his abusive brother is around and he wants to go home (and at the same time doesn't want to go home for multiple reasons)


Arrigo hesitated, then made the offer he’d wanted to almost since he’d met Luc. “I could help you get away from them, Luc, if that’s what you want.”

Luc turned horribly sad eyes on him. “I’m beginning to think you’re the devil put here to tempt me.”

“Sadly, that’s not the first time someone’s called me the devil.” Arrigo beamed.

Luc let out an abortive laugh before turning and walking toward the nearest bus stop. Arrigo let him go, hating himself for doing this now, when he could be putting the boy in danger

If you'd like to play along, Rainbow Snippets is a Facebook community where we post up 6 sentences of one of our LGBT stories every Saturday. It's been fun and you can find it here. Be sure to check out all the offers! It's been a great supportive group!

Well, he COULD follow him...

And I just wanted to say that I'm really loving this story more with every snippet.

Yes he could

And thanks. Hopefully i'll know soon whether or not this will be accepted.

Oh, the temptation when you're a vampire to simply do something about these things! However, the Prince of Darkness and Arrigo are both gentlemen, unlike abusive relations. :)= They certainly seem more concerned with Luc's feelings.

Arrigo's being so good and restrained. I really want him to take Luc away from it all :)

Arrigo wants to swoop in and rescue Luc but knows Luc isn't quite ready.

I love how proud Arrigo is of being called the devil. ;-)

[jana-denardo.livejournal.com]

Arrigo knows he can be bad and he owns it.

Love Arrigo's attitude!

Ah well, the devil has many forms (or would have if he were real) and many of them are fair. I'd be more inclined to follow a devil than an angel because angels can be evil, baby-killing little bastards. I love your devil! and I love how he loves Luc enough to let him go.

Thank you very much. Yeah Angels sort of scare me too.

Arrigo doesn't mind playing the role of devil.

I really like the contrast between the bantering words and their misery--it makes it all the more painful.
