#SatSpanks - 12/12/15 - Mortal Illusions - Germaine gives Claire a curfew #Ds #Vampires





Show me an angry vampire, and I'll show you an unhappy mortal.

NOTE: Reading this material at Work could get you spanked.

Welcome to the Saturday Spankings blog hop.  My stories are all M/f with the dominant male determined to protect the woman he cares for and loves, or grows to love, by doing whatever it takes to ensure her safety and continued health.  This includes administering a spanking when she needs one.
  
My submission for this week is from my 1st book, Mortal Illusions. A vampire romance published by New Concepts Publishing, Mortal Illusions is currently the first in a series of 3 books.  Its sequel, Fatal Desire, is currently being revised.

When Claire Daniels discovers Germaine St. Justine is a vampire, she sets a plan in motion to convince him to cure her brother of AIDS.  Though an innocent in sexual relations, Claire is savvy enough to realize the best way to secure Germaine's support is to enter into an intimate relationship with him.  However, having a vampire take you to bed isn't quite the same as sleeping with the boy next door.  There are complications. And Germaine is dominant enough to add a few more Claire hadn't expected.



In this segment, Claire and Phillipa are witnessing the trial of Sybill, a mortal female accused of approaching another group for the purpose of requesting transformation.  A procedure which Germaine's group expressly forbids.  In addition, she was observed relating vampire activities to an outsider, and going so far as to encourage her companion to seek out the mortal constabulary. The vampire responsible for Sybill claims to know nothing about her illicit activities and effectively removes his protection, leaving her fate for Germaine's council to decide. However, when the men move in to tie the other woman down to keep her from hurting herself, Claire starts to get very worried and wants to intervene, but can only watch with quiet dread as one of the vampires sticks a two inch needle into the mortal prisoner's neck. Sickened, Claire whips around to stare at the man she thought she loved with an expression of shock and dismay only to have him insist she leave. But Claire wants answers as she tells him even condemned prisoners have a right to know what's facing them. Germaine attempts to put her off when Phillipa suggest she and Claire go to dinner at Carpathia's then she can see Claire home. Germaine reluctantly agrees but orders them both out of the restaurant in an hour.


             When Phillipa nodded, Germaine gripped Claire by the chin.  “Do me a favor, and for once, please, please, please do as I ask in this.”  Then before she could agree or disagree, he captured her lips in a hard, demanding kiss.  It wasn't a gentle wooing by any means, but Claire found herself responding despite the fear twisting inside her stomach.
            When he released her, Germaine pushed her toward the door.  “One-thirty, Claire,” he cautioned her.  His face deadly serious, he turned back to the council's official proceeding.


Claire is discovering just how different vampires are from mortals. Afraid she's fallen in love with a man who will only break her heart, she's about to learn how dangerous her position actually is.

M/F, Contemporary vampire romance in a society based on D/s.

  5. Mind and body never seem to be on the same page when it comes to men. Why is that? Great snippet.

  7. I love the excerpts from Mortal Illusions. They are so filled with tension and angst... and I see Claire as just a little bit feisty and always wonder if she will do as she's told :)
