Irina Dimakos

She/Her // 32 // Gemini

Irina is 6 foot 3 and won't let you forget it.

Her profession is geology, but her area of expertise is ensuring you're wrapped around her little finger. She's fiercely independent, highly educated, intimidatingly competent, and completely unpredictable. She's just as adept at navigating nightlife, hookups, and high society, as she is at navigating office life, field surveys, and keynote speeches.

Irina prefers to keep an air of mystery around her life story, but her past isn't the only thing she's tight-lipped about. Remaining always in control translates to a strict lockdown on the finer points of emotional intimacy. To be close to Irina (as her best friend Joanna knows well) is both a feat... and a privilege.

slogging my way thru this chapter and y'all... i wasn't planning on having a "Irina gets suddenly and unceremoniously naked in front a crowd" moment quite this early in the book (and it might mess up my other "Irina gets suddenly and unceremoniously naked in front of a crowd" moment which was planned for a pivotal moment much later???) but.... hey.... anything that gets me through, right?

Cavernous WIP (retroactive) Progress Update

WIP intro / Characters

Current progress:

Prologue & Chapter 1 Editing pass ~done!

So as promised, here’s some tidbits from early chapters while I go through my current Draft 1.5 editing pass on select chapters. 

Prologue (Mikah POV)

Chapter 1 (Joanna POV)

Taglist: @ultimatecryptid​​ , @kainablue​ , @alcwrites​, @saraheadriance​, @maxgraybooks​, @thelaughingstag​, @artbyeloquent, @stormbrightwriter​ @galaxy-writer​ @crazybunchwriting​ @elijahrichardwrites​​​​​

He loathed this more than anything, staying at the palace in his childhood room, pretending like things were the way they once had been. This place was a vault of memories. Everything here filled him with a sour nostalgia - the pillows, the rug, the gossamer curtains framing the balcony, the spiced aroma of the candles… 

As he turned over, his black silken hair fell over his face, and he remembered what it had felt like, the first time he’d shared this bed. The weight of another warm body beside him. How many years now had it been? Six? Seven? It seemed impossible. In three months he’d turn twenty-five and everything would change again. He understood why his father wanted him home now, more than ever, but it didn’t change the bitterness he felt in his chest each time he thought about what lay in store for him in the coming months.

Joanna couldn’t get over how much she envied Carmen, with her hair pulled into a sleek little top knot, her flawlessly matte almond-brown complexion, and her prim little vintage blouse tucked into high-waisted distressed jeans. Even her lipstick was perfect after thirteen hours in an airplane. Half the reason she’d agreed to come on this trip was the chance to spend some real work hours with Carmen finally. They’d all, apparently, had the same idea. 

Irina yanked a plastic folder out of her secondary bag, interrupting their hug, and held it aloft amidst the group - herself, Joanna, Carmen and Oliver - with some bravado. 

“The itinerary,” she declared, before opening it up to rattle off a long list of locations and times they were expected to hit in the next several days. Whether she wanted to admit it or not, the location of the cave site added complications to an otherwise run-of-the-mill geology expedition. But, these were problems for tomorrow.
