No Teaser Tuesday This Week, but You Get a Sunday Post Full O' Stuff About Recklessly
Oh heeeeeeeeeeeey guys. So, this is longish. 'Cause it's me and I don't shut up.
So Recklessly is out soon (about two weeks), and I figured we'd have a fireside chat about what to expect.
And guess what? I'm not freaking out this time and doing stupid things!!
Anyway, I knew at some point I wanted to write a story about two people who love casual sex, who don't use it as medicine for a tortured soul personality issue, and don't see engaging in it as some type of conquest thing.They pretty much agree that sex is GREAT in and of itself (obvi), it doesn't need heart-shaped glitter exploding into the air every time it happens (I think Lana even says this at one point lol), and it doesn't have to include love beforehand.
So basically this is what happens when these two very similar people who believe this start to fall for each other and find themselves in transition. You're thinking, "Oh, I've read this before..."
Maybe.
But you've never met Wes and Lana. =) Wes you've met, sort of. Wes + Lana is a whole different sitch.
The housekeeping:
- Recklessly is unrelated to Documentary and Remake as far as the plot goes (although, timing wise, it takes place sometime in the year after Remake, and expect some familiar faces...).
- This is NOT a traditional romance (obvi), and it's not supposed to be. Recklessly is probably not "comfort food" reading. Don't expect it to be easy street. I'm pretty hard on my characters because I'm a sadist writer. I'm KIDDING...about the sadist part. But Wes and Lana are pretty fiery, flawed personalities, which is super fun to write, but that makes them fairly troublesome.
- I didn't idealize Wes and Lana and they aren't meant to be role models (nothing to do with their expression of their sexuality either, btw; These are prob my favorites ever. I just wanted to write people like, well, how people are--flawed and sometimes kinda hot mess).
-The Seks: Wes and Lana enjoy sex and their sexuality rather unapologetically. Do I think it's the smuttiest book you'll ever read? No. Not by far. But I don't fade to black LOL...
- Yup. It's still long. They'll always be long lol I don't shut up, so they don't shut up. Approx. 113k words.
- Everyone has the mouth of a sailor, like usual, and mostly cursing 'cause they can, but the language is explicit in other ways sometimes.
I think I've covered everything people are usually interested to know!

Teaser Thursday! Wes AND Kai!!!
We have some Wes and Kai friendship action today for Teaser Thursday!
I love guy friendships. I am lucky enough to know two sets of really good guys (one from high school, who I still hang out with, with my best girl friend to this day, and one from college) who have an amazing friendship amongst them. They were all the inspiration for Wes and Kai 's relationship. This isn't even my favorite scene between them (this one is shorter), but I like it. So, anyway, here goes:
Dylan walked over and pulled Lana away from him, and the two of them went off to dance as Beyonce’s "Single Ladies" came on; Wes laughed as the women imitated moves from the music video for each other.
“Whatever you’re thinking, it’s never going to happen,” Kai joked. “Never.”
“So…is this what it’s like?” Wes asked him after a chuckle.
“Well, if you mean watching your girl act silly and laughing and happy and being herself, and realizing that if you lost everything tomorrow, but you woke up next to her the day after, you’d be able to face it all, no matter what else happened…if you mean that…then yes. This is what it’s like, bro.”

Tuesday Teaser for Recklessly!
"Can you promise me that? Can you promise we won’t change? Can you promise we’re not making a stupid mistake?”
Wes almost laughed as he watched her nervous mannerisms, her impatience with him, her need for reassurance. Two people who could fuck in a public place without reservation were apprehensively negotiating their relationship.
“I love you. That’s my promise.”

Recklessly Thursday Teaser.
Bad language alert!
Wes and Lana bump heads at the Pitbull show:
“Lana,
who the f*ck is that? Who the f*ck are you so anxious to get back to?”
“You
don’t get to ask me that, Wes.”
“The
hell I don’t! Is that who you were with when Grayson had to lie to me to my
face about you not being home? I saw your goddamn keys on the table.”
“What
are ‘Questions Wes Elliott Doesn’t Get to Ask Me,’ Alex.”
“Cute.
Your snark won't save you here, though. Can you just
answer one question for me, please? None of it meant anything to you?”
“Yeah, it meant
that you and me were f*cking. Just f*cking, Wes. Like we
have been for weeks now. This amnesia of yours is troubling.”

DIRTY THIRTY! (with slightly NSFW pic)
Yes, Recklessly is thirty days away, FYI! =) And to celebrate this occasion, we're getting dirty.
But really I'm just being a huge tease.
It's how I roll ;)
Mature content ahead!
“Cocky
much?”
“Cock...y is going to make you rip that headboard out of place.”
“So much talking…not enough not talking,” she said with a smirk. He plopped a lingering kiss in the middle of her stomach before he yanked her spread thighs toward him. He hugged his arms around either side of her hips and opened her up more. With excitement thick in her eyes, she breathed so hard her stomach was visibly contracting. “Well, it’s not going to tell you how to do it, Wes.”
*I swear there's actually a story in between all the sexy.*

| Doesn't go with the scene, but I ADORE this picture. Plus, a picture for this scene would definitely be NSFW lol. |
