Happy Wednesday, all! If you’re NaNo‘ing with me, how’s it going? I’m up to just under 19k words now. I’m aiming for 2k per day. I’ve been mostly on track with that, with the exception of a couple of days.
I’m not posting from my NaNo novel yet. I’d like to wait until December, when it becomes a matter of adding to what’s there and cleaning up what I already have. At the moment, it’s sort of a mess. If I can’t think what to put in a scene but know what needs to happen, I write lovely place holders like, “[Main character] does [series of foolish/sexy/sneaky/whatever things] and [argument/hot sex/revenge/whatever happens].” That’s not really fun to use for a WIPpet, entertaining though I’m sure it sounds.
Anyhow, today’s WIPpet is another snippet of an erotic short story. This story contains the following elements: Raging thunderstorm, stranded motorist, mysterious mansion, hot men, hot sex, and a surprise twist. I’m sure that even this heat level will make at least one or two of you blush, but I promise they still have their clothes on.
WIPmath: 14 for the year = 14 sentences.
Slowly, Trace raised his eyes. They were close, both breathing fast from the near miss—or possibly something else. The electric prickle vaulted up Trace’s spine, but this time he was certain it had nothing to do with the storm; he wondered if it ever had. Before he could over-think anything, he put his hand on the back of Angel’s neck. Willingly, Angel drew closer, and their lips met, merging and melting together.
Without warning, Angel backed Trace into the shelf, the kiss becoming more aggressive. Trace gave back as good as he got, and they pushed against each other, slamming into the shelf hard enough to cause books to tumble to the floor around them. The air crackled, and one of the windows banged open, allowing the cool wind to swirl past them. Both men ignored it in favor of exploring each other.
Trace slid his hand down to cup Angel’s ass, drawing his hips closer in the process. They ground against each other, and as Trace’s lips parted with an extended groan, Angel pushed his tongue inside. He tasted spicy, like cinnamon, and the combination of that and the intensity of their movement overloaded Trace’s senses. He whimpered into Angel’s mouth, torn between begging him to stop and urging him on but doing neither. Outside, tree branches tapped furiously on the windowpanes as the wind whipped wildly around the house, gusting in concert with Trace’s ragged breathing.
If you want to know what happens, you’ll have to read the rest of the story. It’s a “real” WIP this time in the sense that it won’t be up on this web site until later this afternoon, when the formatting and stuff is all completed. But you’ll be able to find it in the store then for 25 cents.
WIPpet Wednesday is made possible by the fantastic K. L. Schwengel. If you liked this snippet (or if you didn’t and want something more your style), check out the other links and show some love to my fellow authors. Happy writing!
Yup…I want to read the rest of it =P already knew that was going to happen.
LOL!
Great scene, really passionate and charged. Makes me wonder what happens next… 😉
Well, I suppose what happens next is exactly what it sounds like. 😉 (Hint: they don’t stay in the library for that part.)
Your current WIP reads like Mad Libs, and I like it. 🙂
Nice snippet. I’d read more.
Ha! I should post something like that and let people fill stuff in. It might be more productive than I’ve been on writing it today.
I never, ever write fantasy unless I’m writing fan fiction. I’m horrible at world-building. But this one might be worth doing something with, since it’s more like “real world with extra abilities.”
I’ve got all sorts of those bracketed bits in EoD at the moment. Things like [nameofsomeplace], [whatevercolor], [somethinggoeshere]. I hope I remember to take them all out at some point. 😉
Very steamy scene you have going on here. “Before he could over-think anything, he put his hand on the back of Angel’s neck. ” Oh yeah, over-thinking has a way of ruining everything! Live for the moment, deal with the aftermath.
Ha! I have a tendency to not write in sequence, so when I actually DO write in order, I end up with a lot of [insert thing here]-type stuff.
Yes, over-thinking is definitely a mood-killer. The aftermath of this is certainly not what Trace expected to deal with.
You can count me in as one of the blushers, probably because you described everything so dramatically 🙂 I think that’s cool you can sell a short story for 25 cents.
I wanted it to be free, but Amazon makes that almost impossible, and on this site, it requires people to submit an email address. I just want people to read the story, so having it for 25 cents seemed better.
phew! could use some of that heat today. okay, that came out sounding dirtier than I meant it. 😉 anyway…
I have a lot of [xx] in my wip. mostly it’s character names for minor characters. or I’ll put [?] if it’s a fact I need to double-check.
Oh, gosh, I’m awful at naming things: towns, people, whole novels…LOL! I’m seriously debating changing my current MC’s name, and I’ve already changed the other MC’s last name twice. Maybe I should try using a symbol to represent nameless characters.
I know about the brackets. Oh, yes, I do. Although mine are usually parentheses or comments. 🙂
Oooh – yes, lots of heat here. I especially love that last line – it echoes the urgency and passion of the moment!
BTW I posted the review for Lower Ed. I’m so sorry it’s a little late! I forget everything if I don’t have a post-it note written about it or a gmail calendar reminder. I meant to make one but, you guessed it: I forgot. *facepalm*
I know the brackets are just part of drafting, but I’m such a perfectionist that it never fails to irritate me to have to put them there.
No worries on being late. It was fun seeing my email alert that there was a new review! 🙂 I definitely understand about needing reminders. I have calendar alerts just for basic things like renewing/returning library books.
Ooh. *fans self* That was steamy.
I’m managing to keep on track with NaNo at the moment, though only just. This week is going to be hectic, but I’ll be able to spend a lot more time on it in the final week, so I shouldn’t do too badly. I am going to get to the spot where I stopped planning fairly soon, though, so hopefully I’ll think of where to go after that…
I’m now struggling a little to keep up. My plot is sort of not going where I planned it to go. I spent a good while plotting it out, but my characters seem to have some other agenda they didn’t tell me about. LOL!
