Hello, snippeteers. Welcome back to rainbow snippets (6 sentences of LGBTQ+ fiction) and sexy snippets (7 sentences from their work-in-progress or published stories).

“Perhaps you’re afraid.” I was perfectly capable of goading him in return.
“Watch your tongue!” His head whipped up as he sat up, back ramrod straight. His glare had enough voltage to fry a moose.
