Welcome to Weekend Writing Warriors/Snippet Sunday!

We are going to continue right where we left off last time, where Karlea sarcastically questioned Armani's "secret room" as his room for killing unsuspecting victims. Edited to fit...

"Perhaps," Armani replied. He paused, then turned to Karlea. 

"First I fuck them and then I kill them," Armani smiled, "Notice you have not been in that room...yet."
Armani grabbed Karlea by the elbow and pulled her into him. Armani stared at her smiling as she confidently stared right back.
"Overheating, cold shower...right." Armani said as he let go of her and continued through his penthouse. He led her to the very end of the hallway that opened up to another living room with the outside wall being all glass and overlooking another view of the city and part of the patio; it was minimal with furniture and had a few steps that led to a cozy area by the fireplace that the floor was covered with pillows. Better parts to come soon! Thanks for reading and please comment, I love reading your comments! You can follow Karlea and Armani on social media and sign up for the newsletter:

Welcome to another edition of Weekend Writing Warriors/Snippet Sunday! Happy Ostara! Or Vernal Equinox! I am a very bad pagan and did not celebrate. I need to get on this. 

We are going to pick up right where we left off last week. The first line refers to the mind control he placed on her not to leave the room, that was mentioned weeks ago. Edited to fit...

Armani looked Karlea in the eyes and released her from the mind control he had placed on her earlier. He led her through his penthouse; he walked her out of the smaller living room and into the larger, nicer living room. Armani led her up a flight of nice carpeted stairs that led into a hallway that went all the way around the perimeter of the penthouse, all nicely decorated. Another small hallway led off the perimeter hallway. There was a spiral staircase that led up to a loft. The five doors in the hallway were all shut, leaving Karlea to wonder where they led.
“A guest room, a library, an office, a bathroom, and my special room,” Armani replied, reading her mind. "By special room, do you mean the room you kill unsuspecting victims in?" Karlea questioned, smirking. 

I wish I could post more than 8. This is just mostly much needed description, although her question makes me laugh. The best is soon to come ;)

Okay so the singer of my favorite band, pretty much the whole mastermind of the band, and also my favorite vampire of all, supposedly made this quote:

"There was a time when I went out searching for girls with whom to share my blood. I found many who liked it. That was a very dangerous thing to do, but also very erotic; to have a girl in my bed and to cover her body with my blood doing the 'big thing', well...."
I'm dying here. How do I get this guy? My hot, sexy vampire. Armani is partly based on him. Damn. I need this guy in my life. 

In other news, my art space is awesome. Getting work done, slowly. Mostly in planning stages. I take a bi-weekly yoga class there, participate in a Failure Club every week, which is a group where we have whatever thing we want to tackle and we support each other through it. My thing is to earn an income online. It was a lot of sorting out, but I finally have a path to get working on, in this direction. I am also doing a bi-weekly financial planning class there. I'm realizing all these things I never considered before that I need (a yearly budget, life insurance, power of attorney, etc), all setting a path in this direction. I have also set a goal to own my own home in either Oakland/Berkeley/L.A. in the next 2 to 3 years. I'm sick of renting. And I will live in the Berkeley Hills or the Hollywood Hills one day! I will. So, I have mapped out a plan to get to ownership, and all the prep starts now! I love this art space, it feels like its making my life get all in order :)

Enjoy your week! Its 2015, do something fabulous!

Vampire Friday o3.2o.15

Welcome to Vampire Friday! technically, its Saturday, but this is my first post.

So instead of sharing in longer chunks of what I have been sharing for Weekend Writing Warriors and Snippet Sunday, I decided to go all the way back to the beginning of 2012 and share my first BloodLust Series WIP book that I started to write. I didn't get very far with it, before the book I am writing now took over, which is entitled BloodLust: Armani. For those who have been following me, Armani is technically the second book. I'm still in debate as to whether or not I'm going to write the first. I have been feeling the urge to write more in both stories. :)

So this excerpt starts at the very beginning...

Jake

Night takes over the city as Jake Masterson awakens. He verifies with the clock that it really is night and not the heavily draped windows playing a joke on him. He reaches for his shirt and jeans on the dark red carpet, putting them on quickly. He makes his way to the kitchen and to the refrigerator; he rearranges some containers of food and some fruits and vegetables from the front, so he can reach the back. He pulls out a crystal container and gets a wine glass, pouring himself a drink of what looks like red wine. After warming it up in the microwave, he gently swirls the liquid in the glass and then takes a sip, making a disgusted face - he still has a hard time choking it down even after all these years. Jake sat at his computer desk typing his latest concert review for the magazine, trying very hard to ignore Vaughn, who was blowing up his phone with text messages, desperately trying to get Jake out for the night. Vaughn’s latest was a quickly shot video; Vaughn kissing a pretty young woman and pulling away, revealing his fangs before sinking them into the woman’s neck, making sure to let some of her blood spill down her shoulder. Jake threw down his phone in annoyance, and tried to type again. His phone vibrated once more, showing a message with photos “Lots of pretty ladies out tonight”. Jake can’t help but to scroll through the photos, one catching his eye; a young woman being served a drink by a beautiful female bartender. He pockets his phone and grabs his half empty wine glass; dumping the already cold blood into the sink.

Jake swiftly strolled through the crowded nightclub; his blood telling him where to find Vaughn. Jake found him sitting in a booth with a pretty human woman on each side of him, Vaughn’s face lighting up when he saw Jake. Jake noticed the women dressed more like escorts than club goers, but he wasn't going to bother to ask where Vaughn found these two.
“I knew the photos and video would get you out here,” he said, “you have to live a little now that you’re back in Manhattan with me.”
“Yeah, well, it won’t be all the time, like it used to be.”
“Cindy and Jenna, this is Jake, we have a long history together,” Vaughn smiled.
Both Cindy and Jenna, rushed over to Jake's side to say hello. They both pulled their hair away from their necks to show Jake that they were willing and waiting. Feeling uncomfortable, Jake awkwardly said hello back. Vaughn knew Jake gave up drinking live human blood a while ago, but tempting Jake always had its fun.
Jake casually suggested that he and Vaughn go get drinks. The ladies agreed, excusing themselves to use the restroom.
"You know I don't drink live human blood." Jake said.
"Tempting you was always my favorite game." Vaughn replied, smiling, "Besides, how long can you really live on the cold bagged stuff? Vaughn watched as Jake scanned the bar; the couple in front of them moving, so Jake had a clearer view. Jake finally sees the bartender from the photo and she is more beautiful to him in person.

"And here you are, curious in a human. She was in the photo I took earlier,” Vaughn said with a huge grin, “She’s the reason you came out tonight.”

She was in the middle of making a drink when she looked up and saw Jake watching her. She smiled and almost dropped the bottle of Jack Daniels Whiskey she was flipping into the air; the scare of almost not catching it snapped her out of her trance and back on the drink she was preparing. Jake studied her...

Welcome to Weekend Writing Warriors/Snippet Sunday!

I am still desperately trying to adjust to the time change. I absolutely hate this. I'll adjust just in time to turn it back. However, I am having an awesome and inspiring weekend!

Okay, so we are going to pick up right where we left off last week; Karlea trying to resist being turned on by Armani...

Karlea stared at Armani, attempting to make her heavy breathing, normal, which was harder than it sounded; Armani really turned her on. She didn't want to feel this way about him, after all he had done to her, but she really just wanted to rip his clothes off. Just as she was about to say fuck it and start tearing away at his clothes, Armani broke the stare.
"You made me digress from the real issue at hand." Armani said, "I wanted your clothes off because you are burning up and need to cool down or your brain will melt."
"Come," he said, holding out his hand, "you need a cold shower. I assume you have had experience with this before."
"Yes, a few times." Karlea replied, taking his hand.

Hahaha did Armani break the stare on purpose to make her wait?

WeWriWa o3.o8.15

Welcome to Weekend Writing Warriors/Snippet Sunday!

Happy Day Light Savings Time :( I hate changing time. I do not think time is something we, as humans, should be messing with.

We continue where we left off, with Armani giving Karlea a glimpse of how demanding he can be. Edited to fit.

"Does that excite you?" Armani whispered in her ear, lightly running his nails down the side of her almost naked body.
Karlea's breath became heavy as she tried to resist.
"Resisting is pointless." Armani smirked,  "You forget I can sense sexual energy, and yours is off the charts. I know you Karlea, I know the thought of being dominated is exciting to you. I also know that dominating you, being as headstrong an independent as you are, you will resist, bringing about special punishments. You will be a challenge, but one that I welcome; partly why I chose you, why I am attracted to you."

This is so far from over. I think they might set the pages on fire!

WeWriWa o3.o1.15

Welcome to Weekend Writing Warriors/Snippet Sunday! Happy March!

We are going to pick up right where we left off last week. Edited to fit.

"Clothes off!" Armani demanded.
"Okay, okay," Karlea said, "so demanding."
She pulled off her boots and then her fishnet stockings.
"You know if you want to fuck me, there's a nicer way to go about it," she muttered.
Armani used his vampire speed to appear behind her, he placed his hands on her shoulders making her jump. Using one hand, he un-zipped the back of her dress.
"I haven't even begun to be demanding," he whispered close to her ear as he removed her dress, "that comes a bit later and in a different sort of way, I will have you crawling on your hands and knees, doing whatever I say or else."

Okay that was totally hot. So sorry I have to stop there.
