Every Week at Rainbow Snippets https://www.facebook.com/groups/RainbowSnippets participants post six lines of a work of theirs, a work-in-progress or a work by someone else that has LGBT characters. This time around, my short snippets are from a long, long erotica/fantasy/adventure novella I’m in the process of writing.

Little in young Kendric’s twenty-three summers has prepared him from being kidnapped in the Territory his father rules and to be marched to the land ruled by the evil Saratos.

(I’d list the title of the story, except I have to come up with a better one for this!)

A young man, a slave my height and probably my age brushed past us, glancing at me for an instant, long enough for me to take in his deep brown eyes, his lean but muscular light-brown body, his straight dark hair that hung down just below his ears and the outline of a bird of prey seared into one of his bare shoulders. At that moment, I heard a voice calling out something I could not make out. I glanced up in time to see a tall man in robes that seemed to denote authority gesturing at us. One of my captors gestured back. As we drew nearer the robed man pointed towards the entrance to a corridor in the inner wall. We went through the entrance, down the corridor and down a flight of stairs where I struggled to maintain my balance with my hands still bound behind me.

So, how does this end? Does Kendric ever encounter the dark-haired young man again? Does he ever get out of this predicament? I’ll let you know; it isn’t finished yet! Thanks for reading!
