#FridayKiss
Friday Kiss "flame" My lips part, and he runs his thumb along the lower curve. It’s a promise for what’s to come. What I’ve been desperately aching for—not just the past few weeks, but since that day he handed me his burgundy hoodie nearly twenty years ago.  Flames lick up my spine, and I slide my fingers through the feathery wisps of his hair, anchoring myself. When his eyes flutter, it’s nearly my undoing.  The landline rings, startling me. But not Alex. He doesn’t even flinch.  He leans down, his lips a breath away from mine. “Nothing is taking me out of this moment.” Heat swirls in the depths of his hazel eyes, matching the desire pooling between my legs.

A little 🌶️ for today's #FridayKiss.
Image is a text snippet on mauve background with lipstick kisses. Text: Friday Kiss “Don’t worry, I’ve got you.” He tightens his grip, his large hands kneading my bottom as he strides to his bedroom. Gently, he lays me on his soft, white duvet. The cool fabric sends a chill through me, and I immediately miss his body heat. But I know exactly how to get it back. I fling my t-shirt to the side, giving him a come-hither finger. Ravenously, he rakes his gaze over me, making my skin turn to fire. His eyes are dark black pools surrounded by thin bands of gold and emerald. He kneels again, this time on his bedroom carpet. @ChristieCurry25

A little about me:

I’m a data analyst by day and a math geek to the core. Seriously, I ❤ Excel.

I read across a lot of genres, but my writing sweet spot is rom com. I love finding hilarious new ways to torture my characters.

I have a tuxedo cat named Sasha.

I hate pickles.
An adorable tuxedo cat named Sasha. She appears very friendly and looks like she wants to be pet. Don't let the pose fool you, she hates to be touched and is very bitey.

ANNOUNCEMENT!! I am absolutely thrilled to be a #HiveMentor this year!! I learned so much from my experience as a @Write_Hive mentee in 2023, and I am so excited to connect with a mentee and pay it forward.
Here is a thread with some important info and dates:
Christie Curry She/Her Traditional Publishing Christie Curry's wish list: AGE/MARKET: Adult YA GENRE WISHLIST: Contemporary RomCom Women's Fiction Suspense/Thriller My MSWL My bread and butter is adult rom com, especially the dry humor variety. If you can make me laugh out loud, I will be putty in your hands. One of my favorites is Accidentally Amy by Lynn Painter. I also love women’s fiction with romantic elements, but only if it has an HEA. I’m not the best fit for gut-wrenching angst in romance or women’s fiction. While YA isn’t my usual area of expertise, I am open to contemporary if I feel a strong connection to it. Outside of the romance space, my favorite genre to read is suspense/thriller. Christie Curry spends her days as a data analyst and her nights writing rom coms, dreaming up characters to bring to life (and hilarious ways to torment them). She was a 2023 mentee of the Write Hive Mentorship program, and her flash fiction piece, “Here Comes the Sun,” was published in Full Mood Mag. A southern California native, she currently lives in Los Angeles with her husband, daughter, and a tiny dictator masquerading as a tuxedo cat. She is represented by Morgan Hughes of FinePrint Literary Management.

18,820 words?!?!?!? 😱😱😱

When I plotted my last idea (a chilling thriller called Finding Colette), it was the struggliest of struggles to get words on the page.
I could barely write 250 words, and each of them was forced. 🧵1/4
Screenshot of word count for current wip. 18,820 words, 78 pages

He lifts his eyebrows, and I avert my focus to his angular jawline, now covered in dark stubble— a proper five o’clock shadow. My hand flexes, aching to feel the rough texture scrape against my fingertips. #Fridaykiss
#FridayKiss He lifts his eyebrows, and I avert my focus to his angular jawline, now covered in dark stubble—a proper five o’clock shadow. My hand flexes, aching to feel the rough texture scrape against my fingertips. The prickly hair trails all the way down his throat where the top button of his collar is open, impeccably framing the base of his neck. It’s the perfect spot to press a kiss, right below his Adam’s apple. Christie Curry, Riling Up Sarah
