His heart beat a rapid tattoo, his fingers tingling from the rush of adrenaline to his extremities.
A car accelerated, the engine roaring. Another shot.
Mitch panted against Finn’s throat, the sound harsh, even to Finn’s ears, which were still ringing from the gunshot. Finn’s own breathing was laboured, his mind in a mess, trying to work out what he needed to do—obey Mitch or get as far away from danger as he could? He struggled for a moment, his body trying for flight in a natural response to the situation, but Mitch’s weight kept him pinned to the ground.

Rainbow Snippets is a group for LGBTQ+ authors, readers, and bloggers to gather once a week to share six sentences from a work of fiction – a WIP or a finished work or even a 6-sentence book recommendation. In the group you’ll find anything from romance and historical fiction to mystery and YA. The common thread is that every story’s main character identifies as LGBTQ+. The snippets could range from zero flames to full-on sexytimes, anything goes content-wise. The only rule is snippets will be 6 sentences long–one for each color in the Pride flag.

Oooh exciting!
Thrilling scene! Makes me want to know why Mitch wants to stay in the danger zone…or maybe it would be more dangerous to flee?
Beautiful description, flowing seamless with the action to create an exciting scene…excellent writing!
Thank you so much 🙂
Great snippet.
Oooo nice and tense.
