Rainbow Snippets*--Happy July!

Anyone, readers and authors, get in on the big free romance book give-away this weekend? My book, Smoke and Sparks, was included. I had a lot of downloads, but I realize that doesn't guarantee a lot of reads. But I hope those who do enjoy it. 

I'm snipping from Smoke and Sparks this weekend. This scene comes from Vaughn and Daryl's first kiss. Daryl has only recently come out and this is his first kiss with a man. Told from Daryl's POV:

An explosion of heat and want rolled through me as Vaughn sucked and licked at my teeth and then my tongue. The taste of the Coke he’d been drinking earlier was strong, but that orange-cinnamon flavor faded as the kiss deepened, leaving only a slight sweetness that was hot and heady. Surely this must be what Vaughn’s skin tasted like, I thought. Except, if I ran my tongue over his jaw and down his throat, I imagined there would be a hint of saltiness from his sweat. Those romances that I’d read, they all said that. Salty skin, salty tears, salty cum. I wanted it; I wanted it all, and a moan rose from deep in my chest, hard and low. Kissing girls? That had been like kissing my sisters in comparison. I was drowning in an undertow, my breath pulled from me, and I didn’t care. This felt too real, too right, and I unclenched my hands, letting go of his shirt. Shifting closer, I wound my arms around his neck, tangling my fingers in his hair to hold him there.
