Emmett McCarty's the brand new bouncer for Fire & Ice night club.  This is his firsthand account of all the shady, sexual, and lucrative happenings from behind the velvet rope.  

Canon pairings eventually.  This is not a story about Emmett so much as it is about the happenings around him.  Give it a whirl.  Who knows, you just might like it.

What kinds of dreams and fantasies are "older" women allowed to have? Just because my body was older didn't mean that I wasn't young at heart and mind. A chance encounter with Kellan Lutz would re-enforce that fact. My life would change forever.

I am so humbled and thankful to those who nominated and voted for KMIYM in the Faithful Shipper Awards - Spring  2011. It came in Second place in the RPF - Actor/Other Character Catagory   Thank you, thank you, thank you! Love y'all! 

My crackfic entry for the Pineapple Awards.

Definition for "Thrust": The force that propels an object in a given direction, especially when generated by the object itself, as by an engine or...Emmett's love rocket.

This was written for fun. Plain and simple. I hope you all get a few laughs.

Em/Rose Vamp/AU Kinda. Maybe just dirtier

Rated NC-17 for extremely crude language and absolutely ridiculous citrus content.

~***~

The Mechanics of Thrust won Pavarti's Pick in The Pineapple Awards!

Thanks to all who read and reviewed this ridiculous piece of lemon-pie! It was fun to write!!

 Thanks to the awesome Angel-->[Ass Kicker] for this amazing banner
