New Year's Eve From Tommy's Perspective

So everyone knows that I have a lot of WIPs (98 at last count-damn those flat puppies, they keep showing up out of nowhere), which means that I have a lot of characters who do a lot of chattering because they all want you to hear their story of love, triumph, danger, drama, life, family and passion. It makes for some very interesting times when I'm at home all by myself.

Well there is one character from my Tate Pack series who has made a huge impact on not only me, but you, the readers as well: Mr. Tommy Wilkins, a.k.a. "Tammy Walks". Our cross-dressing mate from Inconceivable is apparently a fan favorite (I can totally understand why, Tommy is more than a little fabulous).

So I asked Tommy if he wouldn't mind stopping by the Purple Fantasy Den and talking to us about New Year's Eve.

He said he would, but only if I completely turned "The Den" over to him.

I had a little bit of a problem with that at first, but eventually I agreed. And knowing Tommy I wasn't even the tiniest bit amazed when he came in with designers, a boombox and Lady Gaga's cd in his hand. So after he gave the Den a major interior design makeover (it's still purple, but there's some glitter, gold throw pillows, a few posters of naked cowboys, firemen, doctors, wolf shifters and oh my gosh....is that a naked picture of Ton and Tommy having sex?

I was very drawn to that picture. The two of them are very sexy together. Which is probably why they're always having sex....like always.

I notice that Tommy is walking kind of funny and I'm proud of myself for not saying anything when he glares at me and starts talking.

Tommy: Shut up Vic. 


Vicktor Alexander: I didn't say anything.


Tommy: You were thinking it. Just wait until you and Daniel finally get together. Let's see if you laugh when people are giving the both of you the all-knowing eye.


I'm a little shocked that Tommy seems to know about my relationship with author Daniel A. Kaine (of Dawn of Darkness) and I notice him smirk.

Tommy: You'd be amazed at the information we find out out at Tate Ranch. Just keep your looks to yourself or you're going to find some hidden cameras stashed around your place.


Feeling completely chastised and knowing that it was time to get this show on the road, I just jumped right into the interview, although I was completely aware that with Tommy in the chair, he was going to take over eventually.

V.A.: So Tommy any big plans for New Year's Eve?

Tommy: Oh yeah. Ton went out with some of the other shifters and they loaded up the barn with liquor and snacks and then they went out to get meat for a barbecue. I only hope that they cook it all the way through. I may need to keep my girlish figure but I still like to eat my meat. I mean...nothing beats the taste and feel of meat in my mouth and sliding down my throat.


V.A.: (choosing to ignore Tommy's dirty innuendo) Why wouldn't they cook the meat all the way through?

Tommy: (looking at me like I'm stupid) Shifters honey. If Ton, Vet, Howl, Ross and Calvin got their way, all the food would be chased, pounced on, killed and then eaten raw. (shudders) I'm sorry, that's just extremely gross to me.


V.A.: (feeling a little queasy myself) So outside of the barbecue and the drinking, do you and Ton have any special plans?

Tommy: (gives me a soft smile) Oh yeah. We have something amazing planned. We're going to be expanding our family at the beginning of the year so we have to go and get ready for the new addition.


V.A.: (shocked) Oh my gods! Are you two adopting kids?

Tommy: (looking at me like I'm stupid) You created me...so you tell me. Are we adopting kids?


V.A.: (laughing) Tommy, we both know that you became your own person the moment you said your first line in "Unthinkable".

Tommy: (giggles) That's very true.


V.A.: So...are you going to tell us?

Tommy: Nope, not until A Very Tate Valentine's. Then all will be revealed.


V.A.: You're a little bit evil.

Tommy: You made me that way.


V.A. True. (Looking at the clock) So before we go...any New Year's resolutions?

Tommy: (thinking and smoothing his hair before crossing his legs delicately. I'm a little bit envious. I couldn't pull off that graceful movement even at the peak of my trying to be the woman I was never meant to be) Yes. I have four. One, I want to be a better mate to Ton. He works very hard to be amazing for me. I figured I should put in just as much if not more effort. Second, I want to learn a new recipe every day. The Tate pack loves to eat and if I don't learn something new, then they'll get bored and start going down to the bar in town to eat. Although I think it might have to do more with the floozy that works there than anything else. Third, I want to be the best...whatever, to our new addition, which means doing a lot of studying and brushing up on...stuff. (Tommy is very good at the whole subversiveness. I'll try to figure out everything from him soon). And fourth, I want to earn enough money to buy these gorgeous Gucci boots that I saw online. Ton absolutely refuses to buy them for me. He says they're not practical for the ranch, but I must, must, must, have them.


I'm a little frightened by the determined glint in Tommy's eyes, but since I know him I know that nothing is going to stop him from getting those boots...nothing.

I also know that because he's Tommy, he's going to look absolutely fabulous in them.

I opened my mouth to wish him a Happy New Year's and ask him what the day meant to him when we both turn towards the sound of Ton's voice. I watch as Tommy's whole body language changes when Ton walks into the room. His body vibrates with happiness and I notice him as he shifts on the chair and know that he must be very, very uncomfortable with his erection. He doesn't say anything about it though and merely leaps from the chair and launches himself into Ton's arms. I watch as the two of them begin making out and feel myself get turned on. I discreetly adjust myself and when the two of them sink to the floor and begin to pull off each other's clothes, I force myself to leave the room...

And find Daniel.

Happy New Year's everyone! From Vicktor Alexander, Tommy Wilkins, Anton Forrester, and the entire Tate Pack clan!!
