Hola Snippetteers!
This is the first week of my group Rainbow Snippets so i thought i’d post from Torque, my bi-ace-trans menage coming in Feb from Samhain. I’ll give you the sentences first and then the intro.
Okay, a warning first: beware of creative punctuation. I’ve added a couple of semicolons you won’t find in the edited version so i could post something that would make sense-but you might want to squint as you read it. đ
Scotty slipped past the roll-up door and saw Mercy hugging Waltâwhich almost made him laugh out loud, because Walt was not much of a hugger and not overly fond of Mercy as a rule.
But thatâs not all he saw. He also saw Mick watching.
Mick had looked a little green earlier so Scotty figured heâd give him time to recover from mopping up a puddle of blood before getting in his face about the chance he took, attracting Ernieâs attention; Scotty owed him a good talking-to for that, because he had to have realized Ernie was well past crazy and attracting his attention was risking getting shot. Mick didnât look green anymore; he rubbed the back of his neck the way guys did when they saw Mercy all cleaned-up in a tight dress. And she was only wearing her work clothesâold black jeans and boots and a white T-shirt with her familyâs garage logo on it.
Here’s the blurb for a bit of context:
Sometimes letting things get complicated is the best way to figure it all out.
Mick Randall is on the run, from the biker culture he grew up in and his impossible vision of love. Alaska should be far enough to escape his old lifeâuntil he rolls into a wrecking yard and gets lost in a pair of pale, bottle-green eyes.
Scotty Bell has spent years learning to channel his fiery temper into the heat of a welding torch. His sexual heat has always been slower to ignite, but one look at Mick rouses confusion alongside desire. In all his life, heâs only been attracted to one other personâhis best friend, Mercy Taylor.
Mick lands a temporary job at the yard, and finds an uneasy crash pad at Scottyâs placeâŠwhere the ragged ends of his emotions get tangled up in Scotty and Mercyâs relationship. But when Mick hears a Harley engine from his past bearing down on him, his first instinct is to go back to the half-life heâd been living. Lest his secrets destroy the only two people whoâve ever made him feel whole.
Warning: Contains references to abuse, subversive ideas about sexual identity and gender expression, and a free-range bisexual on a mission.
