Celebrating Release Day of Second Time Lucky on SatSpanks

It’s release day!  And, what better place to celebrate than on Saturday Spankings. 



Second Time Lucky
Club Decadence, Book 5

The set up...

In this little snippet, Sean is quite upset with Mara for not calling for an escort to walk her out after her shift at the hospital, as they’d agreed.  It's 2 am and she throws caution to the wind, rather than waiting for security as she has agreed to do.   Her purse is snatched.  Shoved to the ground, her palms are scraped, and she's shaken up.   Credit cards and cash, gone.  Driver's license, history.  When she gets home at 3:30, Sean doesn't know whether to smother her with hugs and kisses, such is his relief she's okay, or take her derriere to task for not following the rules and placing herself in harm's way.  

Knowing me as you do, I have no doubt you can guess what he decides.  


*****

Today’s SatSpanks snippet:


“Remember when we talked about a correction? You’ve earned one.”

Her head came up and she pushed against his chest, wanting to sit up and see his face, but he didn’t let her go.

“You mean you’re going to spank me?” Her voice rose in pitch with the question.

He’d done it before when they played, especially when she was up on all fours or bent over the back of the couch or over the counter. Giving her a whack or two… or ten in the heat of the moment was something they both enjoyed. Regrettably, she didn’t think a playful spanking was what he had in mind.


*****

Blurb:

From an early age, Mara Westbrook has led a troubled life. With no one to trust or rely on, she meets a breathtakingly handsome soldier on her ward at Walter Reed. He captures her eye and makes her yearn for things she never thought possible, not for a girl like her. Can she move beyond the traumatic secrets of her past and risk giving love a try?

Injured and in pain, the only light in Master Sergeant Sean O'Brien's dark days is his night nurse, his blonde haired, green eyed, deliciously curvy, modern day nightingale. Seeing her in those tight scrubs, tending to him and his fellow soldiers with her sweet, yet sexy smile eases the pain in his throbbing leg. Unfortunately, it shifts the ache about six inches higher. He sets out to make her his own, to earn her trust, her love and in the end her ultimate submission.

They come together beautifully with Sean teaching her the wicked and wonderful ways of a D/s lifestyle. Mara blossoms under his sensual domination and his firm but loving discipline, but her past won’t let her be. Relentlessly pursuing her and threatening her idyllic life with Sean. To protect what she holds dear, she does unspeakable things leading to more secrets, lies and betrayal. She runs as she always does.

When Mara unwittingly becomes the key witness to events that will finally bring down the Mendoza Cartel, Sean and the Rossi team step in to keep her safe. As her handler, Sean must protect her with his life and Mara must obey him in order to survive. Thrown together under impossible circumstances, Sean learns the awful truth of her past and realizes that despite it all, he still loves her. But can he forgive the lies? And will Mara be able to live under Sean’s stringent rules, learning to trust and submit fully to the only man she’s ever loved?


As threats against the Decadence Masters become fierce, answers are at long last revealed. Come visit old friends and as always watch desire ignite, love simmer, while kink and sex burn blazing hot in Club Decadence, the best damn BDSM club in the southwest.

What do Club Decadence and the Hardware Aisle have in Common? WIP It Up Wednedsay

The countdown to Decadence continues with only 4 days to go...  Woo hoo!

Second Time Lucky
Club Decadence, Book 5
Release:  May 30th


The set up:

As the key witness whose testimony will bring down the Mendoza Cartel once and for all, Mara goes into protective custody.  Naturally, Rossi is in charge of security and Sean is assigned as her handler.  What will they do to pass the time?  In this scene, Sean seems to think a trip to the hardware aisle at Walmart is in order to complete their DIY BDSM toy kit.   Those Decadence Doms, there always up to some kinky tricks, mwah ha ha….


A decadent excerpt:

“We need a cart.”

As he stepped away, she looked around and was amazed to see the identical Walmart she shopped at in San Antonio. Everything was laid out exactly the same, groceries to the right, clothes and household items in the center, hardware to the left. With a clang of stuck carts, he soon had them on their way, wedging her between his much bigger body and the buggy.

“Lean on the handle. Let the cart take some of the weight off that leg,” he ordered as he steered them both to the left at a much slower pace.

He stopped by health and beauty first, throwing shampoo, body wash, two toothbrushes and toothpaste in the buggy. She grabbed a bottle of conditioner and dropped it in as they passed. The next aisle was hair color where he paused.

“Blonde or redhead?”

Unsure, she blinked up at him. “What?”

“They’ll be looking for a brunette. Pick one.”

Her hand went to her hair as she took in the array of brands and colors. She had no clue. She’d never dyed her hair herself, a trip to the salon one of the few luxuries she allowed herself on her budget. Hesitantly, she grabbed a color only a few shades lighter than her own medium brown. He promptly put it back and plucked a box of red off the shelf.

Plucking the box back out, she eyed the label. “Rich copper. I don’t know.”

“Baby, with those green eyes, you’ll be even more of a knockout as a redhead. Trust me.”

She smiled at the unexpected compliment while he slid the box out of her grasp. He dropped it back in the buggy and with a nudge, on down the aisle they went.

Shaw-wow, Sham-ow, or Sham-now,
you make the call <snort>
Next came hardware. At first, when he began tossing an odd array of items into the cart, she paid it little heed, but when his collection grew, his intent became clear. Gape mouthed, she stared at the oversized chamois mop, Duck tape, paint stirrers, 25 feet of natural fiber rope, two wooden dowels about two feet in length, and four doubled-ended snap hooks.

She leaned over and gawked at the mop. It looked exactly like a flogger with about twenty short tails. Glancing back at him, she breathed. “You’re not serious.”

His arched brow was her answer. Moving on, he guided her a few aisles over to the kitchen section.

“Your turn. Twenty dollar limit, your choice, but if there isn’t at least one wooden spoon in your lot, I’m putting something back and replacing it. Be creative, we’ve got at least two weeks, probably more, before we go home and toys will help pass the time.”

She stared at him. He merely returned her gaze a moment, then with a hand on her behind, gave her a gentle prod to get her moving down the kitchen gadget aisle.

A Taste of Little Haven with Meredith O'Reilly on Wicked Wanton Wednesday

Welcome back to Meredith O’Reilly after a long hiatus from Wicked Wanton Wednesday.  Finally, Meredith has brought us a new AP story, and that’s not all, it’s in a collection with four other stories by some of your favorite authors in the genre: Normandie Alleman, Summer Graystone, Adaline Raine and Alex Reynolds.  Little Haven is quite a bundle, and for five books @ $9.99, quite a bargain!


We’ll start off with an excerpt from Daddy's Little Sweetheart Meredith’s contribution to the Little Haven Collection.  Here we go…

*****

“Wow, you are soaked, baby. Does you telling me what to do… what to touch… turn you on?”

I shook my head.

“Hmm… I think that someone is lying. Admit it, Claire. This turns you on,” he said, one of his fingers diving into my channel.

I gasped at the feeling as my vaginal walls closed around his finger and squeezed, eliciting a groan from him.
“I…” He was right. I might be embarrassed about this, but it was hot to tell him to touch me in a certain place and have him do it. He was still in control, but I got to make some decisions too.

"Admit it, honey, and I’ll make you come like never before.”

“Okay! Telling you what to do… turns-me-on-a-lot.” I sped up the last part so it probably sounded all jumbled, but by the look on his face, he had heard me just fine.

“Good girl,” he said and pulled his finger out.

“Hey! I thought you said you would make me come like never before.”

“I did. All in good time, my sweetie.”

Maddie’s Intimate Author’s Corner

Maddie:  Meredith, this is your first collaborative work.  What made you interested in a boxed set and how was that experience?

Meredith:  James came to me around Christmas time and asked if I would like to be the box set leader for an age play box set. I thought about it and agreed to do so. I wanted to do a box set because it was on my "author bucket list". Also, I heard that working on a box set could be a lot of fun, being able to collaborate with four different authors on all of our stories.
This was an eye opening experience for me. It definitely was not how I imagined it would be. With that being said, it was a great learning experience and I am glad that I got the chance to do it.

Maddie:  A bucket list while still in college, will wonders never cease.  LOL.  Little Haven is brand spanking new, so I haven’t had a chance to read it yet, can you give me the highlights of what the collection is about?

Meredith:  The collection is about five different couples who live in this gated community in Minnesota. Everyone who lives in the gated community is involved in an age play relationship or is interested in it. In each story, the reader gets to learn about a new couple and see how they grow and deal with bumps in their relationship.

Maddie:  Why a boxed set instead of a solo book for you.  You are already and established AP author, what did you get out of it personally?  Sharing royalties with 5 authors really takes a hit in the pocketbook, doesn’t it?  

Meredith:  First, I might be the only author to say this, but the royalties that I get don't really matter to me. Don't get me wrong, it's nice getting a paycheck. I'm saving up for a nice, new, shiny pair of braces for my teeth (LOL!) To me, the real reward is just getting my story published and having readers write reviews saying that they loved my story or what I should write about next.

From the box set, I got a really great learning experience out of it like I mentioned earlier. More importantly, I got a couple of great new friends. :-)

Maddie:  What else do you have planned?  Do you have plans in branching off into other genres beside AP?

Meredith:  I do! Don't get me wrong, I love age play and sometimes I'll be working on a story and I'll be thinking that I don't want any age play elements in it and suddenly I realized that my character has started calling her husband Daddy. Sometimes it just sneaks in like that. Yes, I have a couple of stories in mind where there will not be any age play elements in them.

Maddie:  Juggling full time school and writing must be tough.  How do you manage both?

Meredith:  Slowly! LOL! Going to school full time and writing is really tough. School comes first for me so, sadly, writing gets put on the back burner frequently. I wish that I could write more, but I know that when I graduate, I'll be able to go to work during the day and then come home and write at night.

With that being said, I'll freely admit that there were some days when I was at school, and I was super bored because I was learning boring information like the history of toothbrushes and toothpastes, etc. So, I'd open up my iPad and work on my latest story in class or go on Facebook and promote other authors.

I always thought that I was doing that on the sly, but a couple of my friends came up to me after class one day and they were like, we always see you laughing when you open up your iPad, what were you looking at or working on? That was fun explaining. (No I did not actually tell them what I was working on or looking at.)

Maddie:  As long as you didn't miss something important from those lectures, like how to clean teeth.  <snicker>  What does the rest of 2015 look like for you?

Meredith:  I've had this one story that I've been working on for over two years now. It's a gay shifter BDSM romance story and I'm going to try and finish editing that and get it off to the publishers. I also have this spanking romance mafia story that I'm working on. I'm hoping to finish that this summer. I'm really excited for both. I think that my shifter story is by far my hottest story that I've written. My mafia story is the most gut wrenching story that I've ever written. I wrote the last scene for it and I was sobbing while writing it. So, I can't wait to see what readers think of it.

 After that, I'm not sure. I can tell you that I have about half a dozen stories floating around in my head, but I'm not sure which one I'll start writing next.

Author Bio:

Meredith O’Reilly is a rather new author. She still can’t believe that she has had three stories published. As of right now, she is currently only writing age play stories, however she is trying to branch out and find another genre of stories to write for.

In her spare time, Meredith goes to school, watches a little too much Netflix, and experiments with learning how to cook new things in the kitchen. Mostly she tries to balance her life between school work and author work. That’s a task that is easier said than done, most times.

Little Haven Blurb

Tucked in among the lakes and snowy woods of Minnesota, the tiny community of Little Haven is a place where couples who engage in age play are welcomed. Among its inhabitants are five women—Angela, Claire, Kara, Bailey, and Tabitha—each of whom has a man she knows as her loving daddy.

Little Haven features five brand-new titles from five excellent erotic romance authors. This collection includes:

Daddy’s Little Angela, by Alex Reynolds

Even though her own daddy is always more than ready to spank her bare bottom when she is naughty, Angela sometimes can’t help feeling superior to the other women in Little Haven, particularly the ones who act the youngest. But her daddy will not tolerate her being mean to others, and after she makes fun of another girl and hurts her feelings badly, he decides that some very thorough, embarrassing discipline is needed. Angela will be spanked, bathed, made to wear baby clothes, and treated like a very little girl until her daddy is sure that she has learned her lesson.

Daddy’s Little Sweetheart, by Meredith O’Reilly

Claire’s life is exactly the way she wants it to be. During the week she’s an adult with a full-time job, and on the weekends Jensen is her daddy and she’s his little girl, free to relax, play with toys, and cuddle in his arms. But when Claire starts missing meals routinely and coming home from work more stressed than he’s ever seen her, Jensen knows that something needs to change, and he decides that Claire needs more than just a weekend as a little. Will Claire trust her daddy’s judgment, or will she spend the next ten days with a very sore bottom?

Brody’s Little Brat, by Adaline Raine

When life starts to get out of hand for Kara, her boyfriend, Brody, decides that it is time for him to take charge. She needs a firm but compassionate daddy, and he loves her more than enough to give her exactly what she needs. From now on he will be ready to spank her soundly when her rebellious behavior warrants it, build her up when she is down on herself, and even take her to the town doctor for an exam when she is ill. Kara blossoms under Brody’s tender care, but can she really trust that her daddy will always be there for her?

Bailey’s Little Adventure, by Summer Graystone

Bailey loves role-playing as daddy’s naughty little girl, and nothing is more fun than dressing like a teen and bratting her husband, who is always ready to punish her properly before pleasuring her more than she would have thought possible. When she discovers that he would like to tie her up so that she is completely vulnerable and at his mercy, she trusts him to keep her safe, even when he pushes her past her comfort zone. But when she makes a mistake in real life that disappoints her daddy, can she trust that he will be there for her no matter what?

Daddy Knows Best, by Normandie Alleman

Career woman Tabitha is less than excited when her boyfriend, Neal, insists that she take a break from her high-stress job in Chicago and move with him to Little Haven. Despite her initial disdain for the town, Tabitha eventually begins to find a place for herself in her new community, and Neal’s increasing dominance in the bedroom leaves her longing for more. But she’s been keeping an important secret from him about her job back in the city. When he discovers the truth, will it tear them apart or will Neal be able to forgive his little girl?

Publisher’s Note: Little Haven contains spankings, sexual scenes, age play, elements of BDSM, and more. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book.






A DIY BDSM Toy Kit on WIP It Up Wednesday


 Wooden spoons, chips clips and a chamois mop; what do these items have in common?  They make up a Sean and Mara's DIY BDSM Toy Kit, of course.  All of it can be yours with a quick trip to Walmart for the low, low price of $40!  LOL 



The set up:

In a safe house, hours away from San Antonio, Club Decadence and Sean's personal toy bag, they have to improvise.  Sean's got it covered with a shopping trip to Walmart.  Each has a $20 limit. Their mission, to create a kinky do-it-yourself toy kit.  Let's see what Mara comes up with.


*****



He did some quick calculations. “That’s only fifteen bucks.” He then sent her back for more.


Less than a minute later, she returned and threw a bright yellow item in the cart. 

“Can we go now?”

Sean leaned over and stared at the last item for a moment before bursting into loud laughter. Although it was early, the store was busy and heads turned in their direction, both customers and workers, including a young man of about twenty who was busily stocking the shelves nearby.

“Sh… you’re drawing attention.”

As he doubled over, hee-hawing and convulsing over the handle of the cart, she crossed her arms and stared at him, tapping a toe and arching a brow in annoyance.

“Seriously, Sean. How old are you? Two?”

He stood, wiping his eyes. “I can’t help it. That is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen.” Reaching in the buggy, he pulled out her last pick and began reading the package for the Banana Bunker. It was a bright yellow, banana-shaped plastic storage container about nine inches long and two inches wide, the center third was ribbed and expandable.

Watching him turn it over in his hands, she looked around to see if people were staring, feeling sure they would know exactly why she had picked that particular item out. One woman, an attractive forty-something redhead with big boobs, was watching Sean covertly, although not doing a good job of it, especially with her eyes continually darting from his package, to the one in his hand. The stock boy was watching them as well, not trying to be furtive at all, but staring outright. Mara grabbed the package and dropped it back in.

“Let’s go before Wendy Walmart over there, whose been drooling over you like a kid in a candy store, decides she can’t take it anymore and begs for your banana in her bunker.”


*****




Here it is folks!  You just can't make this sh#t up.  LOL


The Unofficial Blurb:

From an early age, Mara Westbrook has led a troubled life.  With no one to trust or rely on, she meets a breathtakingly handsome soldier on her ward at Walter Reed.  He captures her eye and makes her yearn for things she never thought possible, not for a girl like her.  Can she move beyond the traumatic secrets of her past and risk giving love a try?

Injured and in pain, the only light in Master Sergeant Sean O'Brien's dark days is his night nurse, his blonde haired, green eyed, deliciously curvy, modern day nightingale.  Seeing her in those tight scrubs, tending to him and his fellow soldiers with her sweet, yet sexy smile eases the pain in his throbbing leg.  Unfortunately, it shifts the ache about six inches higher.  He sets out to make her his own, to earn her trust, her love and in the end her ultimate submission.

They come together beautifully with Sean teaching her the wicked and wonderful ways of a D/s lifestyle.  Mara blossoms under his sensual domination and his firm but loving discipline, but her past won’t let her be.  Relentlessly pursuing her and threatening her idyllic life with Sean.  To protect what she holds dear, she does unspeakable things leading to more secrets, lies and betrayal.  She runs as she always does. 

When Mara unwittingly becomes the key witness to events that will finally bring down the Mendoza Cartel, Sean and the Rossi team step in to keep her safe.  As her handler, Sean must protect her with his life and Mara must obey him in order to live.    Thrown together under impossible circumstances, Sean learns the awful truth of her past and realizes that despite it all, he still loves her.  But can he forgive the lies?  And will Mara be able to live under Sean’s stringent rules, learning to trust and submit fully to the only man she’s ever loved?  

As threats against the Decadence Masters become fierce, answers are at long lasts revealed.  Come visit old friends and as always watch desire ignite, love simmer, while kink and sex burn blazing hot in the best damn BDSM club in the southwest.

Returning to SatSpanks with a Club Decadence Cover Reveal. Hot Damn!



I'm marking my return to SatSpanks after a month long hiatus with a big BANG!  And, my cover for my upcoming Club Decadence novel and a long awaited release date.


Second Time Lucky 
Club Decadence Book 5

Release date:  May 30th


Love, romance, hot, steamy sex and kink, as well as action, drama, intrigue and suspense.  Everything you would expect in a Club Decadence novel and so much more...  I'm so excited to give you Sean and Mara's story.


The set up...

In this little snippet, Sean is quite upset with Mara for not calling for an escort to walk her out after her shift at the hospital.  It's 2 am and she throws caution to the wind, rather than waiting for security as she has agreed to do always.  Her purse is snatched.  Credit cards and cash, gone.  Driver's license, history.  Shoved to the ground, her palms are scraped, and she's shaken up.  When she gets home at 3:30, Sean doesn't know whether to smother her with hugs and kisses, such is his relief she's okay, or take her derriere to task for not following the rules and placing herself in harm's way.  

One guess what he decides to do...    


 
Now, on to my eight luscious lines…




*****

 “Sean, please, I won’t ever leave unescorted again.”

“You better not, or you’ll get a paddling, which will make this seem like child’s play. In fact…” Abruptly, he shifted behind her still holding her in place. “Let’s give you a little preview.” She glanced over her shoulder seeing him reach toward the nightstand and pick up her hairbrush.

“I’ve learned my lesson. I swear,” she burst out in a rush. Applied to an already hot and stinging behind, she knew the brush, although made of lightweight hollow plastic, was going to light her up further.

He settled back into place, rubbing the wide plastic back against her inflamed skin. It felt cool, which was wonderful, but she doubted it would last long.

Wicked Wanton "Sneak Preview" Wednesday with the Lovely Maggie Carpenter


I'm excited to have a sneak preview of Maggie Carpenter's newest release, The Stuntman to drool over today.  

Wait, let me stare at the cover for a few more seconds.  

Ooo-eee, do you see the abs on that man?  And that tat!  <sigh>

The chest and abs had me right away, but the take charge dominant demeanor, mm, mm, mm...  Maggie is an expert at creating drool-worthy, pulse racing, rapid breathing, panty-melting alpha male characters and Blake does not disappoint. 

Let's jump in with a yummy excerpt right off the bat...


Taking hold of her cuffed wrists he jerked her forward, positioning her so her upper body was resting on the bed, but her feet were still on the floor.
         “Do you have anything to say for yourself?”
         “I know I was wrong. I’m used to doing things myself, I mean, I, uh, oh, Blake, I don’t know what I mean,” she whimpered, “but I do know I was wrong.”
         “You’re not used to having to answer to someone, truly answer,” he declared. “That’s who I am, little girl, I’m someone you’ll have to answer to. You understand that?”
         “Yes, Sir.”
         “I meant what I said the other night. I’ll be your Dominant, but I told you I’d exact discipline if you disobeyed me, and what did you today?”
         “I disobeyed you, Sir,” she breathed.
         “I didn’t hear you.”
         “I disobeyed you, Sir,” she lamented, “and I’m sorry. I thought I was doing the right thing.”
         “Ah, and there you have it. That’s what I’ve been waiting for. You knew taking those risks was defying me, but you thought it was the right thing so you did it anyway. Lesson number one, defying me, especially when it’s something I’ve been crystal-clear about, is never, ever, the right thing.”
         As he finished speaking they heard the sound of the powerful motorbike leaving the garage, and Blake lifted his hand and brought it down with a powerful swat.
         “Repeat what I just said.”
         “OW! Defying you is never, ever, the right thing,” she wailed.
         “Correct,” he said smacking her opposite cheek then bouncing back to the first. “Say it again.”
         “OW, OW. Defying you is never, ever, the right thing.”
         “You can yell and scream all you want, there’s no-one to hear you, and I’ll be happy to listen to the results of my discipline while I watch your bottom turn red. You deserve every swat I land, don’t you, Belinda?”
         “Ooh, yes, Sir. When I was writing those notes I knew it was a dangerous thing to do, and when I had my phone in my hand to take his picture, I thought I was going to drop it I was shaking so bad,” she confessed in a plaintive wail. “I deserve this spanking, I do. I’m impulsive, and I do foolish things without thinking them through.”
         “Good girl for admitting all that,” he said smoothing his hand over her cheeks. “We’re going to work on that problem, beginning right now.”

***

The blurb:

Though she has been in a relationship with a Dominant more than once, Belinda has learned the term, Dominant, is a generic label, and she aches for the real thing; a man who is comfortable in his own skin and won’t hesitate to take her in hand. When Blake Berenson comes into her life, she believes her prayers have been answered.

When Blake tells her he is a stuntman her heart sinks. Having been a nurse in a trauma center for several years, the sight of broken bones and bloody injuries is becoming too much, but in spite of her misgivings, the spark between them fiercely crackles, and she quickly finds herself over Blake’s knee. He is everything she has dreamed of, and she falls hard for the handsome daredevil.

One night a famous screenwriter is brought into the trauma center. When his private secretary, a stern, officious man, asks her to be the patient’s private nurse she is tempted to accept, but Blake, having heard scary rumors about the writer and his palatial mansion in the hills above Malibu, is firmly against it.

Belinda is torn.

Having It All

By Livia Grant


Blurb:
Lukus Mitchell is the owner of The Punishment Pit, Chicago's top BDSM club. As the Master's Master, he has enjoyed his freedom to play with a stable of subs over the years. He's never contemplated settling down before, but is growing increasingly bored of the meek, pliant submissives who fail to challenge him. Then he meets Tiffany O'Sullivan, a beautiful BDSM novice who has always yearned to explore her edgy dreams of submission, but whose sassy mouth always seems to land her in trouble. Their attraction to each other is intense and immediate, but Tiffany challenges her new Dom like never before. They may start out at opposite ends of a BDSM tug-o-war, but can they meet somewhere in the middle-and if they do, can they both find happiness with the compromise?

Meanwhile, their best friends, Brianna and Markus Lambert, are still reconnecting after a recent event which almost ended their marriage. As awful as it was, it made them both realize not only how much they love each other, but also how important it is to share your darkest desires with your spouse. Markus is more than willing to accommodate Brianna's desire to be dominated in the bedroom, yet the couple has more than a few growing pains to work through as the dynamics of their marriage change from vanilla to D/s, with a sprinkle of DD.

Not content with almost having wrecked the Lamberts' marriage and threatened Tiffany, Jake Davenport remains a threat in the two couples' lives and relationships, and Lukus soon discovers that Brianna and Tiffany aren't the only women Jake is targeting.

Can Tiffany find the strength to overcome her fears in order to let Lukus love her not only as a woman, but as his submissive?  Can Lukus deal with the way his new love challenges him at every turn, forcing him to confront fears he never even knew he had? Can Markus and Lukus protect the women they love when Jake gets too close for comfort?

Find out in this, the third book in the Passion series. With the characters from previous books which readers have come to know and love, as well as introducing new ones, this is a fast-paced, intensely sexy, edgy and emotional story that combines humor, drama, friendship and romance in the way Livia Grant fans have come to expect, and new readers are sure to enjoy. 



Excerpt:
Waiting for the show to start, Lukus draws Tiff back so she's resting against his chest. His lips brush her left ear lobe while one hand explores her splayed open pussy and the other cups her right breast.

"So, you didn't want to go through the contract. You'd rather talk about things. We'll consider tonight our first official contract negotiation, baby. I have you as a captive audience, and we're going to talk about all of the things happening on stage. What you like. What you don't. What you'd try. What you won't. Understand?"

"That was tricky."

"Maybe." Lukus sucks her left ear lobe into his mouth while burying what feels like two fingers deep in her wet cunt.

"Oh, God. That feels so good. Don't stop."

"Here's the deal. You keep talking, I keep rewarding you. You clam up, I keep my hands to myself."

"You're devious."

"I prefer resourceful. First question. We'll start easy. On a scale of one to ten with ten being you love it, how do you feel about having your legs tied open and being immobile like this?" he asks her.

"That's not easy!"

"Oh, so you'd rather I start with asking how you feel about needle play?"

"Well sure, since that's a negative ten. See. Easy." Tiff loves his chuckle.

"Fair enough. How about the naked slaves next to their Masters and Mistresses?"

"What am I rating? Watching them, or how I'd feel if I was one of them?"

"Both," he replies.

"Okay, well watching them is fine. Good, even. Being one, I'm not sure yet."

The stage curtains slowly part, revealing a dungeon scene. An announcer sounding a lot like Ethan announces the start of the show. As the stage lights brighten, Tiffany's eyes become riveted to the scene center stage. A scene pried directly out of the deepest recesses of her own mind; visions formulated years ago after reading several very dark erotic romance novels. That this is real should dampen her excitement. She should feel embarrassed, maybe angry. Hell, definitely scared. None of those adjectives capture her true feelings as surprising waves of a desire to surrender and submit wash over her.

Center stage, arms strung high against a thick wooden whipping post, a frightened and vulnerable woman hangs. As if hanging by her arms isn't painful enough, her legs are bent and pulled up and wide, secured by artfully wrapped layers of white rope, leaving her entire body open for inspection and punishment. Even from a distance Tiff can see tears streaming down her face; tracks of black mascara in their wake.

She becomes aware of Lukus leaning in close. "How are you doing, baby? What number are you?"
   
'I can't tell him the truth. What will he think of me?'

"Tiff, are you okay? Answer me. I need your"

"Eleven. I'm at an eleven." She hears his sharp intake of breath.

"I think I can work with that."
