Read to Me Chapter 5 Teaser

Here's a teaser for chapter 5 of my story Read to Me, which will be donated to Fandom4Vets (ch 3 went to Fandom4Autism and ch 4 is going to Fandom4SpecialOlympics). I hope you enjoy the teaser and consider donating to this worthy cause. To find out how to donate, click here.

Here's the teaser....

Jasper kisses his way back up my body and holds me close to him as I come down from my orgasmic high. Once my heart beat slows back to normal and I catch my breath, I can’t help but giggle before pulling his mouth to mine and kissing him, pulling away from each other only when we need to breathe.

Mr. Magic Tongue…two can play at this game.

“Is that right Darlin’?” He asks me with a smirk. “I wouldn’t mind seein’ ya try.”

Damn…even in bed with him my verbal filter fails me.

Deciding to work on that later, I use all of my strength to flip us so that I am straddled on top of him, and make quick work of stripping him completely naked. Seeing him without clothes is almost an otherworldly experience. The clear definition of his abs, and the well-formed muscles of his arms and shoulders are delicious looking.

Makes me want to hump his arm, the look so damn good.

“I dunno about my arms Bella, but I do have something else you could hump if you want,” he says, snapping me out of my not so private thoughts, a smug grin on his face.

“Well, it’s not my fault,” I huff, a bit miffed at my still malfunctioning inner dialogue. “You’re too damn good looking for your own good,” I explain.

Jasper just nods and laughs, but blushes a bit when he thanks me for the compliment.

I get off of him a moment later and can’t help but smirk when he pouts about me leaving him on the bed. I scroll through my iPod until I find the narration I want…one I know word for word by heart from how many times I’ve listened to it, before climbing back on the bed.

Jasper quirks an eyebrow at me as his voice begins to fill the room.

“Those audio books of yours can be just as enjoyable for you as they are for me,” I whisper into his ear, before I begin my ministrations, letting the words of the narration guide my every move…



Eyes Open Teaser

Here is the teaser for my piece for Fandon 4 No Kid Hungry...

President Snow’s piercing stare and Haymitch’s words of warning play over and over in my head the entire way back to District 12. Despite the worry building up within me about having angered the Capitol, I still feel some sense of relief seep into me the closer we get to home.

Home…hopefully once I’m there, everything will start to make sense again. No more confusion over the things Peeta has said to me and then dealing with his disappointment because I can make him no promises for a future together. No more manipulating and performing for sponsors. No more cameras watching my every move of every day.

I can be get back to how life used to be. I can see Prim smile, having fulfilled the promise I made to her to come back. I can get back to my routine of hunting with Gale.

Gale. A sticky situation in and of himself. I know he no doubt saw everything that transpired between Peeta and I. I’m not quite sure I know how to explain it all to him, and honestly, until now I didn’t think I really had need to worry about it. He’s always been just Gale to me, but now…knowing that I’ll soon have to face him and account for my actions, I realize that there is something more to him…something that makes him no longer just Gale.

It’s the realization of that though that turns my thoughts back to Peeta. He’s a good boy. He’ll always be my boy with the bread. So the thought of bringing our charade to an end…for some unexplicable reason, tugs at my heart.

All of this is confusing and making my head hurt. Suddenly going home doesn’t seem like such a relief as reality comes crashing down. Effie doesn’t do much to help either. The entire train ride back to District 12 she’s been prattling on about all of our obligations now that we’re the victors of this year’s games.

The welcoming ceremony when we first return, banquets in our honor, parades…and then of course in a few months’ time we have the victory tour around the districts we are required to take. Thinking of that tour reminds me that we’ll be heading to District 11 and facing the people who knew and loved Rue. Not a single day has passed since the end of the games that I haven’t thought about her.

To be honest, I can’t go much more than a few minutes without something reminding me of that arena, of what happened there. I had hoped that once the train doors closed and I was sped away from the Capitol, I could leave all the memories of what happened behind me.

The truth is though, that death and the knowledge that your own demise is precariously imminent…changes a person in ways no one who hasn’t been through it can understand. I’ve tried keeping things to myself. I suspect Peeta knows my struggle though, there is a certain sadness in his eyes now that tells me that he is suffering much the same as me, if not more. At least with my coming from The Seam, I was a bit more hardened to the harsher realities of life. But Peeta’s being the baker’s son offered him a much more sheltered childhood than I had.

The train shudders to a halt as we reach home. Effie runs off to who knows where to make sure everything is in order, and Haymitch takes the moment to remind us of what’s at stake.

“Remember Sweetheart, they’re all watching you. Keep your eyes open and make sure you keep on playing the game. They’re all just waiting to see you make a mistake so they can make their move,” he tells me.

My words falter and die in my throat. I never wanted any of this. All I wanted was to survive the games and get to come home. Now, I have to keep an eye on every move I make because one small slip can cost not only me, but my family and Peeta’s family as well.

Retribution Outtake For A Fandom Cause

Here's another fandom cause I will be contributing to. Fandom for Leukemia and Lymphoma is being run again this year, and I have signed up to donate an outtake of  Retribution to it. The outtake will be chapter 11 from the POV of The Elite Eleven. To find out more information about the cause and about where to donate, click here.

Fandom4Vets

So I have signed up for another Fandom cause. This cause is Fandom4vets. They are supporting our American troops through the Pets 4 Vets program. I will be contributing chapter 5 of Read to Me to this cause. For more info about donating so you can get this compilation, click here.

Upcoming Projects

Here is some info on some upcoming projects of mine...

The first is my first foray into writing Hunger Games fanfiction... I'll be donating it to Fandom 4 No Kid Hungry. Here's the banner for the piece. As soon as I finish writing the entire thing, I will post a teaser as well...

The second project I'm working on is a new Bella/Edward story. It will be called Undercover Boss, and is loosely inspired by the tv show of the same name. There is no set date for when this story will post. I am hoping to just work on writing it for a few weeks and getting some chapters prewritten before starting to post which will ideally be once Retribution is completed. Here's the banner for this upcoming story...

The Elite Eleven & The Terminated

Here is the updated pic of The Elite Eleven as well as the new "Terminated" pictures that go along with chapter 11 of Retribution...

Retribution Chapter 11 Pic Tease

Read To Me Chapter 4 Teaser

As you all may know, I'm donating a few chapters of my story Read to Me to some of the fandom causes. Chapter 3 was donated to Fandoms 4 Autism. Chapter 4 is being donated to Fandoms 4 Special Olympics. There is still time to donate to both of these worthy causes, so if you want to find out how, just click on the links.

I previously posted a teaser for chapter 3, so I thought today I would post my teaser for chapter 4, so here it is:

I fish my keys out of my purse and unlock the door, turning off the alarm once Jasper and I are inside.

Neither of us say anything for a moment, and then Jasper breaks the silence with the words I’ve been dying to hear since dinner started.
“So,” He says, a devilish smirk spread across his face. “How about that dessert?”
In my mind, I know what I want to say, what I want to do here…I want to take this sexy man into my room and fuck him silly.

What I actually manage to say however, is not nearly as sexy or arousing. I manage a giggle-snort before stumbling over my feet as I walk to the kitchen to offer Jasper some pie.

Stupid oversexed bumbling brain…what the hell am I thinking offering him pie? I should be laying myself out for him to do naughty naughty things to me…not waiting to see if he’s gonna pull a move like Jason Biggs in American Pie…although…hmm…food play could be fun….I wonder if he likes chocolate sauce.

“Yes…I do enjoy chocolate sauce and I can only imagine how delicious it would be if I ate it off of you” Jasper mumurs into my ear. “And no, I don’t care for having intercourse with baked goods,” he adds with a chuckle.

Crap…I still need to work on that whole inner monologue thing.

“Um…” Is all I can come up with as a response.

“Relax Bella…why don’t we keep it simple tonight…leave all the whips and chains and chocolate sauce in their respective homes for now and how about you just show me your room, and let me take it from there.”

“Okay,” I reply, my voice a breathy whisper as I lead him out of the kitchen and down the hall to my room, all the while I feel like the kids in ‘The Night Before Christmas’ as visions of whips and handcuffs dance in my head.

Goddamn wicked man...kinky ass Santa…bet he’d look hot in the red suit, and Lord knows what I’d find waiting for me when he has me sit on his lap and tell him how I’ve been a bad bad girl and need to be punished.

Jasper’s chuckling and promising me that if I’m a good girl he’ll make sure Santa punishes me good and proper this year has my face turning beet red.

Retribution Teaser

Here are some teasers for the next chapter of Retribution...

Here's a pic tease for what Bella will be up to during the chapter:

And here's a snippet of the chapter....

Michael just sits there, whimpering as he stares at Jessica’s dead body as I move it to the corner of the room, dumping it next to Tyler. He has little to worry about though…he’ll be joining her soon enough.

“This is crazy guys. Just let us go. We can figure something out…just tell us what you want. I’m sure we can come up with a price that makes everyone happy here,” Alice says.

“Price? You think we want your money? That we can be bought?” I hiss at her. “This has nothing to do with money. This is about us finally taking back control from all of you. This is about Bella and I getting what’s owed to us.”

“But…but there has to be some way we can make a deal,” pleads Rosalie, causing Bella to spin and face her.

“Listen you dumb blonde bitch, I’d suggest shutting that sewer of a mouth of yours…unless you want to be next…”

Rosalie says nothing after that, and Bella moves on to the person who’s next on our list.

Walking over to her, she stops and crouches down next to her.
