For this week's Rainbow Snippets, https://www.facebook.com/groups/RainbowSnippets/ , I've clipped one of my favorite bits from my short story "How Sweetly the Whippoorwill Sings". Something about that crushed rosebud just does me in. It's rather understated, and dramatic, and a fanciful way to refer to lust.

“I’ll find you.” Jake’s gaze was solemn again, and full of promise. “If you make me feel this way after meeting you twice, I want to see what happens if we actually go out on a date.”
“Yes. Yes, please.” Everett slid a hand down his tie and checked his boutonnière. The rosebud was fine, though it would probably bruise soon, having been crushed in the embrace.

And it is on sale this week, too. :)
But for those who'd like a taste of the story without the commitment, I did write a free snippet that went along with it, and you can find that here:

Really liked this line - “If you make me feel this way after meeting you twice, I want to see what happens if we actually go out on a date.”
