I’ve joined the Rainbow Snippets group on Facebook. From their description: “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 (no spoilers please!).” Pretty cool, eh? Don’t forget to “Like” my Facebook page and/or my Facebook profile while you’re over there checking out this fantastic group!
For this week’s snippet I’m going with a random scene from Photo Shoot, one of the short stories in my collection, Snapshots. The premise of the story is that Eddie has reluctantly consented to pose for a nude photo shoot for his best friend (and secret crush) Trent, who needs the pictures for a university photography class project.
A while back I posted a different snippet from this story that takes place shortly before this one. It’s not really needed for context, but if you’re interested, it’s here. If you’ve read the story (or even if you haven’t) and would like to read a continuation bonus scene, you can find that here.
This is told from Eddie’s 3rd-person POV, and Eddie is the first speaker:
Trent laughed again. “I’ll be playing around with different lighting, changing the angles and stuff. Just leave that part to me.”
Just drop the towel, Eddie. Just drop it. He forced his hand to open and tried to appear nonchalant as the towel fell to the floor.

LOL, I think that’s how I would be if someone asked me to sit for nude photos. I doubt I’d be able to do it.
Yeah, I could never do it, either! 😬
Geez, the idea of being in my glory for all and sundry? Not happening. 😀
It’s a nope-nope-nope!
I can just picture this scene. 🙂
Thank you! ♡
Oh, poor soul. I can totally imagine his state of mind. 🙂
The stuff of nightmares to be sure…
Ooo, feel the heat rise! (fans self)
🔥 💕
Talk about an act of courage!
More than I’ve got, that’s for sure! 💕
Poor Eddie, not quite sure he’s ready to pose.
Maybe Trent will find a way to put him at ease?
Bright lights and private… no wonder he’s unable to relax. Nice Snippet.
Indeed! 😀
Awww, gotta re-read that story. It’s so cute!!
Aw, thank you! I think Photo Shoot (along with King Kong vs…) are my favorites from the set.
Mine are Photo Shoot and Cow Pie Bingo. It’s so cute!! 🙂
💕
Brave man. I love how he tries to distract himself from the discomfort by focusing on the tech bits…
He’s trying, poor guy. 😉
