Taken by the Wolf Ch. 14
So over the weekend Chapter 14 of
Taken by the Wolf
came out =) Bella loses her anal virginity!!!
Was curious to see what people thought of how I got it done... having so much fun with this story it's kind of ridiculous. I love getting to go darker. And also getting to try and surprise people. And working my way through things that I've always wanted to write. Plus, parts of this story have taken on a life of their own.
I kind of giggle whenever people talk about how much they don't like Bella or they don't connect with her, and I sometimes wonder if I subconsciously did that on purpose. Cuz she reminds me of Twilight's Bella sometimes, and I wonder if I'm trying to redeem that character. I like my Bella, personally. Which is important. I like Alex too, but I do think he's a bit of an idiot sometimes... I think in their situation I'd probably react more like her... so maybe that's why I like her.
But the funny thing is, I see myself more as the Wolf. I'm the one manipulating the situation. The one fucking with my characters' heads. Messing with their psyche. Staying a step ahead of them and doing the unexpected. Honestly, I think if I was ever to become an evil overlord, I'd probably be a lot like the Wolf. And I'm okay with that. Cuz I know I'm not evil... but just saying, if I was and I had that kind of power... he's who I'd be.
Anyway. About halfway through the From Terra chapter... it's kind of hard to get back into a story that I haven't worked on in years so that's going a little slower but I'm getting there!!!
So yeah. Hope everyone had a good weekend. Enjoy the new chapter!

Happy Valentine's Day!
I have a confession to make. I actually love Valentine's Day and it has nothing to do with being in a relationship. I didn't have a boyfriend or even a guy I was dating until my junior year of high school, so for me, Valentine's Day was always about either showing my friends how much I loved them or hanging out and watching rom-coms and thinking hopefully about the future. I've never understood the people who get down on themselves because they don't have someone on Valentine's Day because... it's just a day. Kind of a stupid day, since REALLY the best relationships are the ones where the relationship is celebrated and shown attention and love throughout the entire year. Reserving one day for over the top "romantic" gestures so that the rest of the year the relationship could be taken for granted, to me, always seemed pretty anti-romantic.
But I thought I'd take the opportunity to talk a bit about relationships and stuff on the blog because I realized something recently... I get a lot of comments accusing me of being a man (because of the roughness of some of my stories) or gay (because of the anal), but no one on the Loving Wives category ever accuses me of being an unfaithful wife or a slut or anything like that. I wonder if it's because they all think that I'm a man or because of something else.
The truth of the matter is, I've thought about men other than the one I'm in a relationship with. I've been in two relationships in my entire life, both lasting over 6 years (and I'm hoping the current one is going to last for the rest of my life) and of course I have the "is the grass greener on the other side?" thoughts. Sometimes I talk with some of my friends who seem to be under the impression that if their boyfriend was really "the one," then they wouldn't have those thoughts.
And that's what the commercial celebration of Valentine's day through movies and romance novels and fictional characters and plot lines have done to us. I scoff whenever I read a book or watch a movie where a woman insists that there's only ONE man in the entire world for her, that once she meets him she never feels that way about any other man, and she can't possibly ever get over him. Harlequins where the woman never sleeps with another man (esp while the man is out sleeping with multiple women) during the ten year period that they're apart make me gag. I also scoff now whenever I hear that old "you never get over your first love" thing, because trust me... I'm over him. Every so often we hang out, because we have several long-time friends still in common (which happens when you're together for over six years), and while I remember how passionately in love with him I used to be, how desperately I wanted to get back together with him for the first year and a half after we broke up (even after I met and started dating hubby), I don't feel that way now. So I know, first hand, that it IS possible to get over your first love.
Trust me, it's not a case of me not having really been in love with him. I wouldn't have put up with half the amount of shit I did if I hadn't been. I still care about him. I like knowing that good things are happening in his life. But I have absolutely no interest in him. I'm not even physically attracted to him anymore.
Anyway. The grass is greener. Back to that.
Something that I try to show in my books is that relationships are about choices. We, men and woman, can find someone other than our current partner attractive. We can even fantasize about them. And that's normal. It's okay. It doesn't mean that we're going to cheat or that things with our current partner aren't meant to be. It's just human nature to wonder 'what if.' Hell, after I got married, the number of fantasies I've had about other men has increased exponentially.
But it's never going to happen. Because I don't want it to. Because I love my husband. And because, whenever I start wondering if the grass is greener, I remember all the reasons why I married him in the first place. I'm kind of high maintenance. Not in a money way. But I need a lot of physical affection. I'm extremely social and, while I'm independent, I do prefer it if my partner comes with me to at least the majority of the things I go to - a lot of which involve dressing up in outfits that make us look ridiculous. I also am a complete nerd, bibliophile, marathon the same tv shows over and over again (I can't tell you how many times I've re-watched Doctor Who at this point), and want to play the same games over and over again. And he puts up with all that, quite enthusiastically. Oh, and the ballroom dancing. And a million other things.
I know that there's not a lot of men out there that would be able to put up with all that, much less enjoy it. And excel at it. Plus, he's pretty fantastic about not taking me for granted since he also came from a long-term relationship where he was taken for granted a lot of the time.
I think that a lot of the time, when people get into trouble in their relationships, it's because they have unrealistic expectations, a lack of communication and possibly an honesty problem. Our partners aren't mind readers. They aren't always going to be perfect. And loving someone doesn't mean that you'll never be attracted to or fantasize about someone else. The problems come when you choose to start flirting or to hide things from your partner. I have no problem with hubby going through my phone or email and he has no problem doing the same. Sometimes I hear people saying "That's such a violation of privacy!" and I wonder what they have to hide. Sometimes I hear people bitching about how they didn't get an immediate text back or how their boyfriend didn't plan something amazing for their anniversary or for Valentine's day - while ignoring the fact that he's constantly showering them with attention throughout the year, and I think about how ungrateful they are for taking all that other stuff for granted and not appreciating it. I hear people bitching about how the marriage proposal wasn't everything they thought it should be - not that they clued their partner in to what they wanted - or how the ring wasn't big enough and I pretty much never talk to them again because I have no interest in being friends with someone who cares more about the size of the ring or whether or not they thought enough attention was showered on them during a proposal than they do about the relationship they're in and the fact that someone loves them enough to want to spend the rest of their life with them.
Valentine's Day tends to make people think that there are certain romantic gestures that, if they aren't done, means you aren't loved. And that's B.S. Hubby and I still do something together on Vday... this year I kinda wanted to go see Robocop, but we're going dancing instead. But mostly, we just remember what we appreciate about each other throughout the rest of the year and enjoy having a date night together. Sometimes he gets me flowers. Sometimes he doesn't. I usually get him a card with some kind of dirty joke on it. And sometimes I get some fancy lingerie and sometimes I don't. But I can't remember a single time we've ever had a 'bad' Valentine's day and I think it's because neither of us expects any of those things and so we aren't 'devastated' if it doesn't happen.
Not that I think there's anything wrong with going all out and celebrating Valentine's day with all the tropes, it can be a lot of fun. But I will never understand the people that there is something wrong with their relationship if they don't get a major celebration on February 14, especially if their relationships is good for the rest of the year.

New Release: Consequences Part II
YAY!
So I actually finished this novella last month but since Punishing His Ward had just come out, I figured I'd wait till closer to Valentine's Day to release the third book under my Dark Angel penname, Consequences Part II .
Because of Amazon's ridiculous oversight over independent authors and what we put in our book descriptions, I had to change the descriptions for both Part I and Part II and so they're not very informative, but you can always check out the samples if you're curious for more. It's based off of the Consequences series that I wrote for Literotica, but Part II goes even further away from the Lit story than Part I did. There's more expanded scenes, some additional scenes and an entirely new ending =)
I had a lot of fun with it. Not sure what I'm going to work on next for Dark Angel... mostly because I'm not going to be able to start working on anything for at least a couple of months. I'm already way overloaded with what I'm doing writing Taming the Tease and my stuff for Literotica.
Speaking of Literotica - Chapter 13 of Taken by the Wolf is also now out, for those of you following along =) Kinda wondering what people will think since I kind of set it up to go one way and then took it in a different direction... I have to say, I'm REALLY looking forward to Chapter 14 which will have MMF again as well as a bit of a surprise that I've been looking forward to since I began writing this series!

From Fantasy to Reality
One of the questions I hear the most is a variant on whether or not my stories are based on reality. I feel like sometimes that's because people want to know something about me, but sometimes I get the feeling it's because they've been fantasizing about the stuff that I write about and they're wondering what the reality might be like.
Well... sometimes reality bites. LOL.
I do a fair amount of experimentation with hubby, but one of the first things I learned is that the transition from fantasy to reality is best done slowly. Baby steps. Lots and lots of little baby steps. Because while sometime might seem great in your head, if you plunge right in you can get burned (sometimes literally, although fire-play has never appealed to me... my Ben-Gay experiment was enough to convince me not to rush ahead just because one thing feels good 5 seconds in).
The next thing I learned was that, sometimes I love the fantasy and hate the reality, no matter how slowly I take it. I'm not surprised that many women who try out spanking and kind of horrified the first time they actually try it out in real life - it freaking hurts. And if your partner doesn't know what they're doing and take the time to warm up your skin, it can hurt even more. And not in that erotic "good" way that I write about. Although I do get wet from being spanked, I've discovered that it's more about what's going on in my head than how it actually feels - although I do like the pain a little bit.
A hardcore masochist, I am not.
I love to read / write about it though. I have an utter fascination with it when it comes to stories, but show me a video with real people or try it on me and I freak out. So not sexy. I can't watch BDSM porn most of the time because when I see the extreme stuff I'm like AAAAAAHHH. But then give me a few weeks and I'm writing about it and it's all sexy in my head. Brutal nipple clamps, fisting, caning... oh yeah, I'm all about it as long as I'm just writing. But if I see a porn picture of it or something I'm sitting in front of my computer cradling my breasts thinking ow ow ow and completely turned off.
Another example... I think it's pretty clear that I love writing in the non-con category. I have no real explanation for this, because I don't even like rape-play. A lot of women enjoy role playing it, but I'm not one of them. I completely freak out if it gets even close to that. I love being tied up or held down, but only if we're not role-playing anything... try to role play that and suddenly the ropes are claustrophobic and I'm panicking and trying to kick free. And it's not sexy.
So my major advice for anyone who wants to try to turn their fantasies into reality... take it slow. If I'd gone for a hardcore spanking the first time I'd tried it out, I probably never would have attempted it again... but now I can take more than I could when I first started trying it and enjoy myself. Don't worry if you don't actually like the reality, that's perfectly normal. It's still possible to seriously enjoy the fantasy =D And sometimes I go back and try things that I didn't like the first time round, just to see if my tastes have change.
I have to admit... I've used the Ben-Gay again since my first experiment. Sometimes I just want to feel the burn. But I still have yet to try out figging.

The End of Annie
The last chapter of
Annie Rides the Sybian
is now up on Literotica =) Again, thank you LoAnnie for the story idea! I had such a good time writing this story. Ended up leaving the end somewhat open ended so that I can go back to her if I ever feel like it and I'll already have some ideas to work off of ;) I just couldn't quite let the character go completely!
Speaking of which, this month I'll now be working on finishing From Terra. For the first time I went back and checked out what I'd actually written previously... I'd kind of been thinking that I'd made it just a short series of fucking vignettes and that it wouldn't be too hard to just write a couple more, but when I re-read it I was like oh shit... I actually set this up as a real story. Fortunately, I pretty quickly figured out exactly where I wanted it to go. It's going to have a total of 14 chapters and then I'll be moving on to finishing Tomboy Tease.
My writing pace has DEFINITELY slowed down though, because of the amount that I'm working at the day job. *sigh* Still, I am getting writing done. I'm very close to finishing the next chapter of Taken by the Wolf, which I don't think is going to go in quite the direction that everyone's assuming. I really do like fucking with people's heads... I sometimes wonder if I'm relating just a liiiiiittle bit too much to the Wolf. LOL. And I've been getting a good amount of writing done for Taming the Tease, which I am seriously enjoying. Maria is a very different female character from the others so far, which is fun for me to do something different =)
And I've submitted Consequences Part II to Amazon, but, just like with Part I, they're giving me trouble with it. Something in the description that they don't like and so far I haven't been able to figure out what. They aren't very specific when they send the rejection emails, it just says "Description." Well thanks... I haven't got a clue what they're taking issue with so I'm just trying changing / deleting possible things and hoping that I get it right. Submitted it for attempt #3 last night. Hopefully I'll be able to tell you that it's out soon - and yes, it will be getting a freebie day.
So yeah. Hope everyone's having a good week so far!

Double Story Friday!
If you haven't had a chance yet, make sure you check out my previous blogpost for a teaser from Taming the Tease. =) Rick and Maria meeting and talking for the first time.
Aaaaaaaaaand I've got two new stories out today!
Chapter 12 of Taken by the Wolf
and
Chapter 4 of Annie Rides the Sybian.
I've actually finished Annie Rides the Sybian, the last chapter was submitted yesterday so that should be out sometime next week =) Which means that in February I'll start work on finishing From Terra , the first of the stories you all voted on for me to finish this year! Rather looking forward to that.
And of course, I'll be continuing work on Taken by the Wolf. Unfortunately I haven't finished a chapter for it this week - that whole being super busy and working overtime for the next couple of months which significantly cuts down on my writing time. But I should have another chapter submitted next week =)
Happy Friday!

Taming the Tease Teaser!
YAY! My first teaser for Taming the Tease, book 2 in the Stronghold series. You might remember Rick Winter from The Venus Quartet as well as from Stronghold. He's a sexy blonde who's definitely looking for a relationship, he just doesn't know with who. But he's finally moved up to be closer to his friends and to Stronghold and one of his new neighbors is definitely tempting him even though he knows better than to try to date someone who lives in the same building as him, especially when there's no sign she's at all submissive.
Maria's a curvy, sassy, thirty year old with three younger sisters - two of whom are married and the youngest just got engaged. But that doesn't bother her, what DOES bother her is the amount of people in her life who seem to think that it should. She's tired of the worried pity glances and the 'supportive' comments, and she's also tired of her lack of sex life. So when her incredibly sexy new neighbor seems like he might be interested, even though with his good looks he's probably a player, that doesn't stop her from wanting to get to know him better.
Taming the Tease
Stroke, stroke, stroke and breathe; stroke, stroke, stroke and breathe... Rick preferred to breathe on every third stroke when he was swimming freestyle. It was how he'd been taught and he found that twisting his head from side to side rather than always coming up on the same side meant his neck got a more symmetrical workout. He didn't know why that mattered to him, but it did. Sometimes he felt like he was getting old and set in his ways. Gliding the last couple of meters into the wall, he came up for air and stretched out his shoulders. This morning he'd taken a bit of a longer workout than usual. He'd needed to burn off the energy again. Sexually frustrated much? He nearly groaned when he saw the lusciously curved brunette that he'd been watching, apparently venturing out in the morning for the second day in a row, this time tucked into a bright red bikini with tiny ruffles edging the top and bottom. Ruffles were dumb, in his opinion, but on her they didn't detract from her attractiveness. And the screaming red color suited her dark hair and tanned skin perfectly.The rest of the pool area was nearly empty. There was a young mother with her toddler on the opposite side and another older man that Rick recognized as a fellow lap-swimmer, and the tempting brunette. Who was putting her stuff down on a lounge chair only two away from his.There were plenty of other lounge chairs further away, but he saw the way she was looking at him out of the corner of her eye. She'd deliberately chosen a location near his towel. Interest stirred, along with his cock.Stop it.No getting involved with the neighbors. Obviously a reminder that bore repeating. Besides, he might be reading too much into things. Maybe she hadn't been looking at him at all. Or maybe she'd only been looking at him and wondering if it was his towel that was sitting so close to her chosen spot.Ugh. He was starting to sound like a teenage girl inside his head. Great.Ducking back into the pool, he kept swimming. But the entire time he was also picturing the brunette and that wasn't good either. He swam faster. Ten laps later he glided back into the wall and came up breathing heavily. One quick look over in the brunette's direction nearly had him groaning again. She was laid out on her stomach and she'd undone the top of her bikini, leaving the expanse of her back completely bared to the sun. Why that was so sexy, he wasn't sure, but somehow a woman with her bikini top undone was always an erotic tease. Maybe it was just the vain hope that she might forget to redo it before sitting up.Yeah.Time to go home again. He was done with his work out and while he'd originally been planning to spend some time drying out in the sun as the day heated up, he knew he wouldn't be able to relax and enjoy it with her only two chairs away. Pulling himself out of the pool, he did his best not to look at her as he padded over to his chair and picked up his towel. Rubbing it roughly over his face, he took the moment to regain his balance, unsure of why her mere presence unsettled him so badly.Slipping on his sandals, he slung his towel around his neck and headed towards the exit."Hey, do you have a second?"The sound of her sultry, sleepy voice, tinged with just the faintest hint of an accent, had Rick doing a quick about turn. Yep. Sunbathing beauty was looking up at him with a smile, her head and shoulders raised just enough to make his cock twitch in hopes that he was going to get to see something scandalous. "Sure," he said, taking a step towards her. He knew he was looming over her a bit, but the position helped him regain some of his equilibrium. Damn she looked good from this angle. The bikini bottoms were clinging to the well-rounded cheeks of her ass, which was soft and cushy looking - the kind of ass a man wanted to grab onto or spank the hell out of. Rick wanted to do both. And the fact that her bikini was red only made visualizing it easier. "What can I do for you?"Her eyes brightened and her smile deepened, revealing a dimple on her left cheek. Rick had never thought he had a weakness for such things, but on her...Reaching into her bag, she pulled out a white tube. "Can you get my back? I can just feel the heat coming down and I don't wantto turn over yet.""Sure." The word was out of his mouth for a second time, his body eagerly taking over from his brain. Not that his brain would have been able to come up with a good excuse to get out of her simple request. But at least his brain knew it was a bad idea. He could have hesitated instead of jumping on the excuse to touch her."Thanks."That sleepy, sultry smile was doing all sorts of havoc, but he had a lot of practice at keeping his face expressionless. Still, he didn't want her to think he was unfriendly, so he gave her a small smile back as he squirted the white cream onto his hand.Yeah, don't think too hard about that.Her deep brown eyes went down to a half-lidded state as she watched him sit down on the chair next to hers and reach over to her back. Soft. Warm. Pliable. Rick tried to concentrate on smoothing the sunscreen in evenly rather than on how silky and inviting her skin was."Mmmmmm..."Giving her a quick glance, he saw that her eyes had closed and she had a little smile on her face, looking very much like the cat that got the cream. Satisfied. Sexy. "My name's Maria."
"Rick."

Two Stories and a Monday
I had two stories come out over the weekend...
Taken by the Wolf Ch. 11
and
Annie Rides the Sybian Ch. 3
So far getting good reviews, although Annie seems to have picked up a troll. That's okay. I've noticed that it's mostly the best stories that get trolls. Last week I was feeding them a bit cuz I was feeling snarky. This week I've decided to let them starve. Got bored arguing with stupidity.
Feeling tired but good. Got another chapter of Annie finished and submitted today. YAY! It's the second to last. I'm going to try to get the last chapter finished this week because in February I'd like to start (and maybe even complete) the first of the stories that you all voted on me to finish this year... From Terra . Looking forward to that although I'll be sad to say goodbye to Annie. I'm having a lot of fun with this story.
I've been reading a lot of alien abduction erotica lately... so that might def feed into From Terra a bit. I'm really excited to finish some of my previous works, I always feel bad about the fact that I've left some stories hanging, but I've got so many new ideas that it's hard to balance everything. Actually, it's hard for me to balance everything period, I'm always overloading myself. *sigh* Wish I could overload myself with cock. LOL.
Yeah. I went there. As I said, I'm a bit tired =P
Soooo this week, main goal is to finish up the Annie series, secondary goal is to finish another chapter of the Wolf (btw, submitted chapter 12 yesterday so that should be out either later this week or early next week). Third-ary goal is to keep working on Taming the Tease. I don't think I'll be able to get it out early, like I did Punishing His Ward, but I'd rather not get it out late either.
Hope everyone had a good weekend!

Stronghold & Some Thoughts
Soooo Stronghold is finally available for the Nook and on Smashwords! From now on, releases should all come at about the same time. When I submitted it to Amazon, I wasn't publishing for the Nook yet so I went ahead and did my usual sign-up for promotions, which means that it can't be sold on any other site for 90 days. La.
Anyway! Submitted the next chapter of Annie Rides the Sybian... so far it looks like I'm getting out about a chapter a week for both Annie and The Wolf. I've been enjoying watching the comments about where people think The Wolf is going to go. Interestingly, so far no one's picked up on the direction. I'll just say again... I'm feeling rather sadistic and if you're hoping Bella and Alex manage to get away / upset the system before going through some crazy shit, you're probably better off not reading the story LOL. Just gonna put that out there. I haven't gone nearly as dark as I want to go yet.
Plus, I'm using this series to start experimenting with some Domme stuff. I've never written Women dominating Man scenes before and if I'm ever going to write Olivia, then I need to get some practice in and get some feedback on what people think of those scenes =D Since they're out of my usual comfort zone.
In the meantime... I'll talk a little bit more about the next book in the Stronghold series, Taming the Tease - which I'll have a teaser for before February ;) Maria is waaaaaaaaay feistier than I'd originally realized and she's turning Rick on his head a little bit. LOL. It's a lot of fun to write. I'm not entirely sure either he or I know quite what to do with her. Although so far she's not messing up my outline as much as Angel and Adam did, but then again I'm only about 5 chapters into the book. I keep feeling like that's not a lot, but then I remind myself that I have to start somewhere, and that originally I thought I'd still be working on Punishing His Ward at this point, so the fact that I'm focusing on it at all is a good thing. Especially since I didn't work on it much at all these past couple of months and then ended up completely re-writing what I HAD written LOL.
Feeling rather snarky lately... if you've read my tweets or my comments back to anonymous commentators you may have noticed that. I know I should just let people be, and normally I do, but I've been having a bit more trouble with that the past couple of days LOL. Snark snark snark! Maybe I just have more energy than usual.
Anyway. I think I've started babbling and hit that point where I'm not being interesting anymore. So I'm gonna stop now. Look for more stuff coming next week!

It's That Time Again!
Sooo if you were reading my blog last year, you may remember that at around this point I got super busy at work and didn't have as much time for writing. Yeah, it's that time of year again. Everything slows down for me except my day-job workload which picks up like WOAH. Not necessarily a bad thing, since that's what pays the bills, but it does mean that my fun-time activities suffer a bit while I start the long-haul of overtime for the next few months.
The good news? The season isn't in full swing yet. I submitted the next chapter of Taken by the Wolf on the same day that Chapter 10 came out (Monday) and Chapter 2 of Annie Rides the Sybian is also now available. I'm hoping to submit the next chapter of that later today or tomorrow. =) Having such a good time writing both right now... they're both so fucked up in completely different ways LOL. And for some reason that's just so enjoyable to me!
I'm working hard on Taming the Tease; hopefully I'll have a teaser of THAT for you within the next couple of weeks. I've gotten a fair amount of work done but I don't know if I have any good teaser scenes yet...
And, Dark Angel's next work, Consequences Part II, will definitely be out in February before Valentine's Day =) If you're familiar with Consequences on Literotica then you already know the basic storyline which was modified for the Amazon version, Consequences Part I, which changed, edited and expanded upon the Lit story. Mostly in that it's pseudo-incest rather than incest, the erotic scenes were expanded and some of the storyline was revised (I got rid of Uncle Max's daughter as a character and slightly changed some of what was going on with Grandma). Part II will continue their story, with some new scenes, and a completely new ending that goes more along with what the story became in book form =) Looking forward to that!
Something else I've done is changed the tabs at the top of this blog. I'm going to have a tab for each series that's currently being worked on, there's now a Completed Series / Books tabs so that I don't have those all crowding up the tab space, and there's a tab for Dark Angel's works.
Btw, esp when it comes to Dark Angel's works will which ALWAYS be available for Prime on Kindle because they're Kindle exclusives (this goes for any of my books that are free via Prime), I've gotten some questions about whether or not I get paid if you "borrow" one of my books. I absolutely do. And, in the case of the 99cent books, I actually get more than if you paid the 99 cents for it. Go figure lol. But yes, please don't worry about whether or not Amazon gives us anything for our borrowed books (although it's incredibly sweet that some of you do), we def make something off of it =)
Hope everyone's having a great week!
