Hello, WIP IT UP folks! It’s been a while, right? That book has been on hiatus for ages due to many events in my real life. However, I promised to finish the trilogy by the end of 2017 so it’s time to get my act together and at least finish Unorthodox Chemistry. I set myself a deadline until the middle of next month. So I hope you’d enjoy that little emotional snippet of Chapter 9. The cover is temporary.
So I hope you’d enjoy that little emotional snippet of Chapter 9. The cover is temporary, it will do so far.
Unorthodox Chemistry is Book 2 of The Unorthodox Trilogy. If you haven’t read book 1 it might be a good chance to get your copy as it is on sale for 99 cents until the end of August,

The rope master leaned forward to kiss her lips. His fingers rested on the side of her head, smoothing the auburn wisps escaping her braid. The man caressed her skin for the last time and started slowly suspending the bound girl in the air. As she was ascending the light grew more intense and its focus shifted on her restrained body. The white beams were reflecting in the remains of brocade on her exposed skin.
I gasped as I was watching her slow and sensual flight, her total trust and fearlessness.
The memory of the rope around my ankles and steel on my wrists caused another wave of emotions to go through me.
Too much… Why does it have to be so beautiful?
I have no idea how long I spent staring at the swirling body high above us, caught between longing and horror. Maybe in that instant I really fused my mind with that of the ballerina, flying among pieces of stardust. Maybe it was wishful thinking or madness provoked by the twisted theater.
The next thing I knew was that that light was on, the performers were down on the stage accepting applause. Someone was touching my face and was gently wiping the tears with fingers. Was it really happening or I was still caught in the flight of fantasy?
The gentle touch spread warmth through me and I turned around to meet Thomas’ eyes. All the earlier anger and resentment had leaked from his gaze. He was staring at me with concern and affection while his thumb drew circles on my cheek.
“Are you okay?” His voice was soft and caring.
Was that the same man throwing daggers at me earlier?
Thomas smiled warmly and placed his hand on my other cheek.
“Yes, I…” I blinked the tears away and stared back at him. My voice was shaken and tear filled when I kept talking. “I don’t know what happened to me, it’s just…”
There were no words that could describe the storm of feelings the scene provoked in me. His palms cupping my face and the tenderness written in his eyes were the last nails in the coffin of my self-control.
It’s still pretty raw but like I love to say, that’s what editing is for. Now go to WIP IT UP Headquarters for more snippets of future awesome work.

Aww! It sounds like rope play is something that Lina would enjoy very much, Lilah. I hope that Thomas can do that for her or ask the rope master to do a scene with her. Great snippet!
