Code Of Conduct

“It’s okay.” I brushed a piece of damp hair away from her face and leaned in to press my lips to hers. “It’s okay,” I mumbled again against her skin. She parted her lips and allowed me inside as I ached to get a taste of her. Her fingers tangled in my hair as she held me to her, refusing to let me leave her. I instinctively moved closer, claiming my territory and pushing her gently down on the floor. My hand slowly inched down from her face to her collar bone as I sucked on her bottom lip. I fingered along the opening of her robe, feeling the soft fabric beneath my fingers. I slipped inside, gently pulling the robe away from her skin. I could still feel the dampness of the shower lingering.

So as some of you may or may not know I am moving to Maine for the summer to work at the Make a Wish Foundation as an intern. After thinking a lot about it, I've decided to temporarily stop writing while I'm out there (after I finish COC, breathe everyone haha). This decision comes for two main reasons. Firstly, I'm going to be incredibly busy and I'm not one of those authors who likes to keep people waiting too long, so I don't want to make you guys wait when I'll have no idea when I'll update. Secondly, my wonderful apartment, although downtown does not have internet. So I don't know how much access I'll have just using an internet cafe.
Like I mentioned above, I will definitely finish COC before this brief hiatus. I'm hoping to get it done before I physically leave, but if not I'll finish it up once I'm out there and make sure it gets posted.
You may have also noticed, if you've checked out my profile on ff.net, that I do have a couple WIP with only one chapter. I will be finishing these at some point and starting back up again in the fall. It's not to say that I won't work on them over the summer, like I said I just don't want to feel like I have to hurry and get an update out all summer, so I won't be posting anything unless something changes. I also have one more story I've semi been working on behind the scenes. Last time I had three story options, I posted the first chapter of each and let you guys decide which one I did first. I may do that now, I'm not sure. As of right now, I don't think Secret Life will be next basically because its going to be an emotional story, and seeing how emotionally draining COC is, not a bad thing, just emotional, I want to do a little bit of a lighter story next. So my next story in the fall will probably be either the Mat or my new story that has yet to gain a title.
Anyway, I just wanted to let you guys know what was going on with that because I didn't want you waiting for an update on one of the new stories and be surprised when you don't get one. No worries, I WILL be back in the fall and I will be finishing COC within the next few weeks hopefully. We'll see how that goes with finals so it may seep a little bit into the summer. Keep an eye out for any updates and make sure you have my other stories on alert just in case. Thanks for all your support guys, and look for the next COC chapter coming soon.
