Chrissy is a werewolf with a problem: She's changed into a Labrador Retriever instead of a wolf. Worse, her old crush, darkly handsome alpha werewolf Justin, is the one to pick her up from the pound and force her back into her curvy human form. Chrissy is dismayed to find she desires Justin as much as ever. Justin is a werewolf on a mission: He's determined to claim Chrissy for his own. He knows how to seduce Chrissy into freeing her inner wolf. All he has to do is convince her to submit her innocent flesh to him, and he'll take her until she's howling for more. Warning: This 7,700-word short story contains explicit sex and is for adults only.Excerpt:When Justin's fingertips made contact with my sensitive flesh, I couldn’t help but focus on the crash of sensation he caused. I moaned as his touch intensified, his large, roughly calloused hand spreading my trembling legs open. I knew I’d find it humiliating if I was in my right mind. I wasn’t in my right mind. I only knew that this was Justin, the man I’d longed for, teasing my nether lips in exactly the way I’d always fantasized. I groaned with the gratification of it even as his touch set me on fire. Between the compulsion of the wild shift tugging at my flesh, and Justin’s fingers drawing a sensuous figure-8 over my clit, I shook with uncontrollable tremors of need. He leaned into me, adjusting his angle until I shouted with the erotic pleasure of his touch. “Not yet. Hold on,” he murmured. I wasn’t sure if he meant my incipient orgasm or my unwilling physical shift. I gasped, on fire with the searing need he aroused in my body. His clever fingers toyed with me expertly, growing delightfully rough when he brought his thumb into play. He wormed one large finger just inside my tight opening, continuing his steady thumb strokes until the erotic combination of feelings maddened me.My thighs clamped onto his working hand, the dormant sexuality of my body awakened with a vengeance.

Robyn Schneider's The Beginning of Everything is a witty and heart-wrenching teen novel that will appeal to fans of books by John Green and Ned Vizzini, novels such as The Perks of Being a Wallflower, and classics like The Great Gatsby and The Catcher in the Rye.Varsity Tennis captain Ezra Faulkner was supposed to be homecoming king, but that was before—before his girlfriend cheated on him, before a car accident shattered his leg, and before he fell in love with unpredictable new girl Cassidy Thorpe.As Kirkus said in a starred review, "Schneider takes familiar stereotypes and infuses them with plenty of depth. Here are teens who could easily trade barbs and double entendres with the characters that fill John Green's novels."Funny, smart, and including everything from flash mobs to blanket forts to a poodle who just might be the reincarnation of Jay Gatsby, The Beginning of Everything is a refreshing contemporary twist on the classic coming of age novel—a heart-wrenching story about how difficult it is to play the part that people expect, and how new beginnings can stem from abrupt and tragic endings.
