She
craved his painful dominance as much as she feared a return of the darkness.
Excerpt:
Nan landed belly down across Dan’s
hard, denim-covered thighs, a position she’d been in countless times before,
and yet still felt new, scary and exciting all at once. She braced for the pain, praying for that
hedonistic thrill instead of fear. His
calloused palm glided over her buttocks left exposed by the thong, and she
soaked up the pleasant sensations his touch stirred up. Low voices echoed around them, mingling with
laughter, the music and the sounds of play resonating from the loft. She wasn’t alone, or in the dark, the
exhibitionism releasing a familiar sweep of excitement to tease her senses.
A light swat stung her right cheek,
drawing a gasp at the sudden sting. He
didn’t pause before delivering a matching smack on the left, and tears pricked
her eyes at the rush of pleasure from the soft ache. “Tell me about last night.” Two more identical spanks landed on top of
the first ones, still light enough to warm with a here-then-gone sting. “What frightened you, a nightmare?”
Nan shook her head, grasping the
chair leg for added support as he delivered a harder swat in the center of her
butt. “I woke up, and the lights were
out,” she blurted, needing him to continue but stopping short of admitting she
was sure she’d left them on. She should
have remembered how astute he was. Two
much harder smacks jiggled her globes, the painful burn spreading to her
pussy. Yes! The urge to crow in
delight at the return of her usual response to pain was difficult to suppress,
but she recalled how fast that pleasure changed last week and held herself
back.
“Common sense tells me if you fear
the dark due to your trauma, you would not have forgotten to leave lights on
before going to bed.” Dan aimed for the
under curve of her buttocks next, putting more force behind the spanks, enough
to push her forward on his lap.
Nan trembled as he paused to inch a
finger under the thong and trace over her puffy labia, his touch on the
sensitive flesh setting off sparks deep inside her core. She’d almost forgotten the pleasure of a
burning backside, of picturing others eyeing her red, quivering butt, of lying
face down throbbing for more. With a low
moan, she shifted on his lap, the pressure of her mound against his rigid
muscles sending another blaze of heat spiraling through her.
With a low curse, Dan pulled back
and blistered her buttocks with a rapid volley of spanks, alternating between
light and hard, stopping only to brush his hand across her throbbing flesh
before resuming again. “You were
frightened, awakening to the dark, with no explanation for the lights being
out. Correct?”
“Yes!” she cried out, using every
ounce of her concentration and control to fight back the ever-present fear
waiting to ruin this blissful torment that was the complete opposite of what
Gerard had subjected her to. It hovered,
right there, on the very edge of her conscience, with small flashbacks to that
dank cellar. But this time, Master Dan’s deep, commanding voice kept her rooted
in the here and now, held her enthralled with the slow build-up of pain and a
hint of pleasure pushing its way through.

enjoy spending time with my daughter, babysitting dogs and kids, reading and
working puzzles. We have traveled
extensively throughout the states, Canada and just once overseas, but I now
prefer being a homebody. I worked for a
while writing articles for a local magazine but soon found my interest in

My favorite genre to read is suspense.
