Stella is an entire romance industry unto herself who runs the insanely fun Authors After Dark conference (I just confirmed I&#8217;ll be at the 2014 event in Charlotte, NC and I wish it were already here!), designs covers (including the one being revealed today), and writes scorching hot stories with her sister, Audra, under the name S.A. Price. Stella and Audra have a new book out, and I was so pleased to be included in their cover reveal and give away for <\/i>This is Forever<i>, a New Adult novel in their <\/i>Thirteen\u00a0Shades of Red<i>\u00a0series.

She had changed her hair, it was purple with black streaks, and she was wearing one fucker of an outfit. Platform Mary Jane\u2019s, her signature, purple torn fishnet thigh highs with garters that ended in bows with skulls on them, micro mini in black satin with a lace trim. She had tripled up on her belts, her little baby tee molding to her torso like a second skin. It was razor cut in places, showing skin and the purple of her lace bra. Her arms warmers were knitted with little skulls on them. He was pretty sure she wasn\u2019t wearing underwear also, the girl just loved to shock. Dare he think it was for his benefit? He wasn\u2019t sure he even saw her, thinking he was dreaming the perfection before him.<\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"background-color:white;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:15.555556297302px;position:relative;\">But dreams don\u2019t blow you off\u2026 at least his didn\u2019t. His dreams, her especially, blew him. When dreams blew you\u00a0<i>off,<\/i>\u00a0those were called nightmares, and those sucked. Sucked like life was sucking right now. She had walked in with the rest of her band, greeted everyone but him, her gaze lingering a little too long on Colin, Rhys\u2019 little brother, but then moved on as she kissed cheeks and hugged people.<\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"background-color:white;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:15.555556297302px;position:relative;\">\u00a0He had to adjust his groin, discreetly of course, when she and Saffron hugged and snuggled. Apparently over the past several months Saffron and Lola had become quite the BFF, with Lola staying at Saffron\u2019s place in New York when she had to go in for several shoots and meetings with her record company. Rhys had teased him about getting face timed and seeing both of them in little booty shorts and white tank tops\u2026 but he didn\u2019t think they were\u00a0<i>that<\/i>\u00a0close.<\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"background-color:white;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:15.555556297302px;position:relative;\">And worse, he didn\u2019t think seeing her all snuggly with Saffron would illicit the images rolling through his head. Not that Saffron wasn\u2019t hot, but he just didn\u2019t dig his best friend\u2019s girl like that.\u00a0\u00a0He grabbed a tootsie pop and unwrapped it, sticking the thick ball into his mouth. He watched her move from person to person, but never to him.<\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"background-color:white;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:15.555556297302px;position:relative;\">What.

Fuck.<\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"background-color:white;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:15.555556297302px;position:relative;\">When everyone sat down, she sat at the other end, didn\u2019t even bother to look at him. He went through dinner in a blur, his anger getting to him more and more. What the fuck was going on? He was beginning to feel like he was invisible. Maybe it\u00a0<i>was<\/i>\u00a0a nightmare?<\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"background-color:white;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:15.555556297302px;position:relative;\">When she got up and went to the bathroom, he followed, after exchanging a meaningful look with Rhys.<\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"background-color:white;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:15.555556297302px;position:relative;\">\u201cSo you\u2019re just not going to say anything to me?\u201d he said as he caught her coming out of the bathroom.<\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"background-color:white;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:15.555556297302px;position:relative;\">She looked at him and then sighed. \u201cI didn\u2019t want a public thing to happen.\u201d<\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"background-color:white;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:15.555556297302px;position:relative;\">Public thing?<\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"background-color:white;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:15.555556297302px;position:relative;\">He cocked his head and scowled. \u201cAnd what the fuck does that mean?\u201d<\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"background-color:white;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:15.555556297302px;position:relative;\">She looked him up and down. \u201cI don\u2019t know if I\u2019m ready to say hi like I want to.\u201d<\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"background-color:white;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:15.555556297302px;position:relative;\">Winter rolled his eyes. \u201cSo you can wrap yourself around Saffron, eye Colin up like he\u2019s a steak, which by the way he\u2019s not even eighteen yet, eww,\u201d he ticked off on his fingers, \u201cYet you can\u2019t even just turn and wave at me?\u201d<\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"background-color:white;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:15.555556297302px;position:relative;\">Lola shook her head. \u201cIt\u2019s not what I wanted.

She was the one that pushed for the tour, and by all accounts she didn\u2019t have issue with their past. It was what gave him hope.<\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"background-color:white;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:15.555556297302px;position:relative;\">She moved closer and shook her head. \u201cThat\u2019s not it.\u201d<\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"background-color:white;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:15.555556297302px;position:relative;\">\u201cThen what\u2019s it?\u201d he bit out, his hands clenched at his sides. Gods, only she could infuriate him like this. Fuck she smelled good. All honey and warm clover\u2026 no one smelled like Lola.<\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"background-color:white;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:15.555556297302px;position:relative;\">Her voice lowered. \u201cDo you like my outfit Winter?\u201d<\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"background-color:white;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:15.555556297302px;position:relative;\">He growled. Fuck yes he liked her outfit. Loved. Wanted it crumpled on the floor of his bedroom. Wanted to peel it from her slowly, kissing every inch of skin he exposed.<\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"background-color:white;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:15.555556297302px;position:relative;\">She reached for him, her fingers tugging him closer by the belt loops of his jeans. \u201cGood.

Eat your heart out baby.\u201d<\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"background-color:white;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:15.555556297302px;position:relative;\">She got closer, her lips just against his, a slight almost imperceptible move of the hoop through the middle of his lip and then she was gone, back towards the party, her ass shaking with a sashay that had blood rushing from every place in his body to his cock. Fuck.
