Every week we post six lines of a story of ours, a work-in-progress or from someone else’s work we recommend that has LGBT characters on Rainbow Snippets here https://www.facebook.com/groups/963484217054974

For my snippet’s this week, we return to the world of my in-progress sci-fi future story “Diego’s Offer,” where the shifty criminal-turned-slave Diego is having a lunch break with one of his Master’s customers who happens to be an old friend. Diego has tatts on his arms not sleeves but he has something up his sleeve. As I am writing this (as“Skip Hanford”) for an erotica site it may be mild on the steam but it is still NSFW.

“Hey, um,” he began. “If you owned me, I mean really owned me, what would you do with me?” Diego asked.

I almost blurted out that it was one of my fantasies, so I just cleared my throt.

“For starters,” I said as sincerely as I could. “I would never hurt you.”

“Thanks,” he said.

“I’d like to tell you I’d never use you, but…”

He grinned.

“I would give you a lot of leeway.” I said.

Here’s snippet two, just a bit longer.

Diego nodded. “It’s whatever the Master wants. Whatever he tells me to do. It’s not my decision.”

I took a deep breath. “I wouldn’t set you free. Look, I like you a lot but I just don’t trust you. You’re pretty shifty.”

“Yeah, that’s how I got into this,” Diego said, rubbing the bands on his forearm again.

“And you’d get a job,” I said. “Probably in another warehouse. And I’d get the money.”

“Farmed-Out,” Diego said. “No sweat. I understand.”

“Okay,” I said. “What’s all this about my owning you? Are you just trying to make my pants tight or what?”

And on THAT note, I bid you farewell until next week, where we will celebrate an anniversary in less-than luxurious accommodations! —-jeff
