Stormy Sneak Peek

From the next chapter of Stormy (may be subject to change).

Gracie's POV

I started to walk toward the kitchen but paused as I heard the familiar voices of Amber and Collin.

“Are you sure nothing’s wrong?” Collin asked. I peeked around the corner and saw the two standing close together. Amber was stirring a bowl of punch, Collin was leaning on the counter next to her.

“Everything’s fine,” Amber replied, flashing Collin a bright smile before she returned her gaze back to the punch bowl, her expression becoming miserable again.

“Is it Ryan? Did he hurt you?” Collin asked and my stomach jumped. 

“Of course not,” Amber answered in an exasperated voice. “I’ve known Ryan for years. He was always hanging out at the Uley house whenever I visited Claire when I was younger—” That’s right, bitch, because of me! “—we’re friends.”

“So if it isn’t Ryan, who’s hurting you?” Collin questioned, putting his hand lightly on Amber’s shoulder. She instantly froze.

“Please Am,” he said softly, taking a step closer to her. "Tell me what’s wrong."

Author Q&A

Q: Will you ever write a Jared and Kim story?

A: I'm really honored that people have asked me to write their story, but I've read so many good Jared/Kim fics, I'd really have nothing new to contribute. So the answer is no. And once I'm done with Stormy and Absent, I'm going to do a short story on Seth, and then I want to retire from Twilight fan fiction to concentrate on other projects.

However, you will see a lot of Jared and Kim in Seth's story since Seth falls for their daughter Hayley. And I can also recommend the following Jared/Kim fic:

The Invisible Girl » by Rue.writes

Summary: Kim has always been quiet, to the point of being invisible at times. And she's been in love for almost just as long. With a boy who has no idea. Until now. Now she's beginning to feel a lot less invisible. As requested: My Jared and Kim story.

Nate & Meena's House

Stormy Outtake

This was originally in Nate and Meena's honeymoon (takes place in the cave):

She rolled so that she was on top of me. Moving her fingers to my pecs, she dug her nails into my skin hard. I hissed in pleasurable pain. I knew by the salty scent that she had broken the surface of my flesh and I was bleeding. Bending over, she licked the blood and moaned.

“God…you taste so good,” she murmured. She froze as she looked at me with worry in her eyes. “Are you feeling okay?”

“Fuck yeah,” I muttered, placing my hands on her waist so I could move her back and forth over my lower half.

“My venom—” she said in a strangled voice.

“Oh…” I replied, suddenly becoming aware of what she was getting at. I looked down at my chest and saw her nail marks. They were already healing over except for one. There was no sign that I had been infected though. I reached for the cut skin and squeezed. More blood dribbled out. I scooped it up with my index finger and placed it across Meena’s mouth like sloppy lipstick. Her tongue instantly darted out and liked away the residue, groaning in contentment.

Meena,” I said in a desperate tone, shedding my swim trunks. “I need to be inside you…now.”

I decided to take this scene out because I've read one too many stories where the characters get off on their loved one's blood. LOL, though it's smut and it's all been done before, I thought this was bordering on being cliché.

Stormy Sneak Peek

Chapter 26 (this isn't beta'ed yet and may change)

Nate’s POV

I held Meena in my arms as we swayed to the music at our reception. The day had been perfect so far. The weather had cooperated. There hadn’t been a breakout of fighting—though I’d have to be blind and stupid not to notice how Ryan had been staring at Gabe all day…like he wanted to rip out Gabe’s throat or something. But he’d been behaving so far. And then there was Meena.

She was so beautiful, she literally took my breath away every time I looked at her. And she was all mine now, by law and in every other way. The wolf inside me groaned its contentment.

We were going to be leaving for our honeymoon soon, and I was nervous and excited over that. Excited because for a whole week, it was going to be just Meena and me. No pack duties to worry about. No family drama. Just me and my imprint, basking in each other’s presence.

And nervous, because as much as Meena and I had messed around since we’d started dating, we’d never actually done the deed. Hell, we hadn’t even seen each other fully naked yet.

The guys had given me all kinds of advice at my bachelor party the night before…

“Take it nice and slow…and don’t forget the syrup…” was Emmett’s advice.

“One word…blindfold…” Seth had said—not very reassuring.

Quil’s input was the following, “Hey, the first time Claire and I had sex, it wasn’t great. I hadn’t had sex in over fourteen years at that point and I friggin’ lost control. But the next time we did it, it was fucking phenomenal—”

At which point I cut him off with, “Ew, please don’t talk about my cousin and sex in the same sentence ever again.”

Nate and Meena's Song

I needed a song for Nate and Meena to dance to at their wedding, and someone on Twitter suggested Miley Cyrus' "When I Look At You." LOL, at first I was like...no, I'm not having them dance to Miley. But then I listened to the lyrics and they're really kind of perfect for these two. So as of now, this is going to be Nate and Meena's song.

Stormy Sneak Peek

Chapter 25 (This isn't beta'ed yet and may be subject to change.)

Gracie's POV

“Ryan, please look at me.”

He didn’t. He stepped away from the engine he'd been working on and started to walk away.

“Are you going to ignore me forever?” I shouted.    

He froze, his back to me. “What do you want from me, Gracie?”

“I want you to forgive me,” I whispered, moving up to him until there were mere inches separating us. “I want you to lov—to not hate me anymore.”

He stared at the garage floor, his body rigid with tension. Finally, he said in a voice so low I could barely hear him, “I do love you.” Then he turned and looked at me…and I wished he hadn’t. Especially when he added, “I just can’t look at you anymore.”

He turned back around and headed for the office, the door shutting behind him with a finality I didn’t want to accept.

Author's Note

If you haven't had a chance to read chapter 24 of Stormy, this post is going to be about that. SPOILERS ahead.

Some of you may be wondering why I made Gracie pregnant. The idea came to me when I was writing Forbidden Imprint. There was a chapter in that story where Embry goes out to Hawaii and begs a pregnant Rebecca to run away with him, even though they both thought that the baby was her husband's. I always planned on the baby being Embry's, but when I sat down to write the chapter there was brief moment when I thought...what if the baby's actually Ian's. How would Embry, or any wolf for that matter, handle his imprint getting pregnant by someone else? It was an idea I really wanted to explore because I've personally never read an imprint story where the imprint deliberately turns her back on the imprinter and then gets pregnant by another man. So I decided to go for it in Stormy. LOL, and no one was more fitting to screw things up than Gracie.

But the reason why I had Embry of all people talk to Ryan at the end of chapter 24 was because if it wasn't Forbidden, I wouldn't have thought of that twist in the first place. ;)
