Here is Squeeze My Lemon teaser and banner from this week's author SweetT129.
“You're gorgeous and powerful and you have eternity in front of you. And your plan for spending it is wallowing in misery over some loser who liked to be a big man and pick fights, probably to make up for being a small man somewhere else,” Bella paused to smirked for effect, “and kept you around because you made a great gettaway driver and a good fuck. That sounds pretty damn pathetic to me.”
Victoria wanted to argue with her. Actually, she wanted to kill her. She was furious with the girl, but mostly because she made a good point. Luckily, being a vampire, Victoria's mind was working furiously, thinking about several different things at once.
In seconds, she came to two very important conclusions. The first was that Edward was still going to pay. Even if James wasn't her mate, she liked having him around, and Edward had taken him from her. That couldn't go unpunished. The second was that Bella Swan was going to get taught a lesson in respect. She couldn't very well let a human insult her and just walk away.
Lunging at the human, Victoria pushed her into the side of the shed, barely restraining her strength enough to prevent a Bella-shaped hole from forming in the building. With her arm across the girl's throat, Victoria forced Bella to look her in the eye. “I am gorgeous,” she spat.
“I know,” Bella agreed in a strangled voice. She may have wished she were strong enough to give the vampire a good punch in the face, she couldn't deny just how attractive she was. And not in the way that all vampires are beautiful either; no.
Victoria was clearly something special.
“And strong,” Victoria added scathingly, squeezing Bella a bit tighter to prove her point. “And I'm not just somebody's good fuck, you little whore. I'm fucking phenomenal.”
“I'm sure you're great.”
“Don't fucking placate me!” Victoria seethed.
“I'm not. I'm sure you were fantastic,” Bella said calmly. “I mean, you were at least good enough that James wanted you around. That's gotta say something for your skills, right?”
Victoria had leaned in so close in her rage that she and Bella were now nose to nose, both women glaring intensely at the other.
“You should be so lucky as to experience skills like mine.”
“I've never been very lucky,” Bella shrugged.
Victoria paused for a moment, considering her next move. She hated this human, yet admired her at the same time. She wanted to shut her up, but she wanted her to do so because she knew she was wrong, not because she was forced. Victoria couldn't understand why she wanted this human's approval so badly. She should really just kill her and move on.
Instead, she kissed her.
