#SciSpanks - Fatal Desire - 364 Days does not a Year Make #Vampires #Bloghop

Welcome to Sci Spanks 2014! Chances are you’ve gotten a few samplings of what we're doing on Ana's blog, so now you get to sample free stories from sixteen award-winning authors (and me). Please visit Governing Ana for the prize list, sign-up sheet, and free books. You can win from a prize pool valued at over $1,000, including a Kindle Fire or Nook HD! (Neat, huh?)

Many authors will also be offering a contest on their individual blogs (like me).  Your comment on their blogs automatically enters you in both the main contest and the individual contests!

What’s the catch?  Absolutely nothing!  We love writing for you and want to thank you for your readership.  Perhaps someone might get a spanking or two, but that’s a reward rather than a catch, right?

Here are the rules:

1.    Visit each blog between Wednesday, June 25 and Sunday, June 29 to read the posted stories and excerpts.

Note: Natasha Knight’s story takes place in a nonconsensual setting, meaning the heroine has not consented to getting spanked. If you are offended or alarmed, you may prefer not to read her story.  If that is the case, and you are working to read all the blogs, leave a comment for Ana on her blog http://governingana.wordpress.com to let her know you had to skip Natasha's post.

2.    Leave a comment answering the story question on each blog.  You will receive one entry per blog for the grand prize drawing.  You will also be automatically entered in that author’s individual contest, if she has one.

3.    If you have visited all of the blogs, visit Ana’s blog to sign up for FIVE bonus entries to the grand prize.

4.    Deadline is midnight EDT (UTC -5) on June 29!!

5.    If you successfully completed a previous challenge (Love Spanks 2014, Spank or Treat 2013, Spankee Doodle 2013, Love Spanks 2013, or Spank or Treat 2012), you may add "VIP" to your comments.  You will earn THREE bonus entries toward the grand prize.  (Yes, we will be doing this again.  Yes, if you successfully complete the Love Spanks 2014 challenge you can become a VIP for our next activity!)

6.    If you are an published writer/author, please add “W” to your comments. That way, your name will be entered in the special author prize drawings.

7.    Visit any of the participating blogs on Wednesday, July 2nd to find out the lucky winners.  Will it be you?

Now for my story.  I've chosen to use "Fatal Desire" again, because some of the characters in it are indeed "Out of this World."  "Fatal Desire" is my vampire romance sequel to "Mortal Illusions."  This scene happens fairly late in the second book.  Husband and wife for nine months, both the characters are vampires at this point, though Amanda is still in her first year as an immortal.  Any vampire less than one-year-old is considered an infant, and no vampire is permitted to take his/her blood until after the infant has passed its one-year mark to become a fledgling.  Unfortunately, Amanda wants Marcus badly, and she isn't above using some sneaky tactics to get him to nibble a little one day early.  Marcus is a former gladiator, and has the physique to match.  He is an honorable man who believes in living by strict rules that don't allow for much gray.  Let's see how Amanda fares in her efforts with her rigid, and dominant husband.

            Amanda slipped into a short, sexy nightgown with no panties and sought Marcus out in his private office.  He sat at his desk pouring over some designs for the haunted theme park he considered building.  Lost in concentration, he didn't glance up when she entered the room, which should have been a red flag.  Unfortunately, she was too horny to appreciate his more serious state of mind.

           Stepping behind his chair, she slid her fingers around the edges of his ears.  "Are you busy?" she asked in her sexiest voice.

           He spared her a look that questioned her intelligence, but said, "Yes, darling, I am.  Now go back upstairs and watch some TV or read while I finish this."

           "Then what?" she teased with a small pout.

           Putting down his papers, he gave her his full attention.  When he saw what she wore, he growled.  Literally.

           Taking the sound for the warning it was, Amanda raised her hands and backed up.  "It's only one day," she protested softly.  "We're on our honeymoon tomorrow.  Surely one day can't make that much difference."

           His face a stony mask, he said, "How long did I tell you we needed to wait?"

           "One year, but--"

           "Correct.  Is that year up today?"

           "No, but--"

           "Do you think I arbitrarily chose the time frame?"

           "No, but--"

           "Do you think you are the only one suffering?  No, you are not," he answered before she could. "And do you know why?  Because I have selflessly given you countless orgasms when you desired them, have I not?"

           "Yes, of course, but--"

           "But what?  I am denied the pleasure of finding my release in you as I wish.  I want nothing more than to sink my fangs in your sweet flesh, but I cannot.  Not until tomorrow night.  So, what is your purpose coming to me dressed as you are?  Do you wish to torture me?"

           Tears burned her eyes as she shook her head.

           "Then I suggest you go upstairs, before I demonstrate my current displeasure with you through more tangible means."

           "But, Marcus--"

           "No, Amanda!  And that is my final word on the subject.  Tempt me further tonight and you will be uncomfortable sitting on that plane tomorrow.  Do I make myself clear?"

           Despite the disappointment spearing through her, Amanda meekly answered, "Yes, Sir."

           "Then go."  The command was accompanied by his finger unnecessarily pointing the way to the door.

           Realizing he wouldn't relent, she turned and fled to their bedroom, then slammed the door.  Anger and frustration getting the best of her, she threw their wedding picture at the wall, but received no satisfaction when the glass shattered.  Less than a second later, he'd flashed to stand before her with his hands on his hips.  If he'd been angry before, he was livid now.

           "That tantrum, my love, has earned you five swats."  Sitting on the bed, he patted his knee.  "Take your position, please."

           "Go to Hell!" she shouted back, angry as well as scared he would carry out his threat, which was the exact opposite of what she'd wanted.

           "A simple no, would have earned you an extra swat," he advised, his tone and manner so frigid it gave her a chill.  "Swearing has earned you five more.  We're at ten now.  Care to go for fifteen?"

           She shook her head, struggling not to cry.  She didn't want a spanking; she wanted him to make love to her.  She swiped angrily at her tears, which fell despite her effort to hold them back, but his expression didn't change.

           "Take your position, please," he repeated firmly.

           "I'm sorry," she said in a near whisper.

           He regarded her for a moment, then shook his head. "Not good enough, I'm afraid."

           "Tomorrow is our anniversary and we're leaving for our honeymoon," she reminded him, clearly pointing out the obvious.

           "That is true, and you're undoubtedly going to be sore because of your childish actions."

           She winced.  "But I want us to have fun together, and I won't be able to if I'm hurting."

           "You should have considered that before you decided to tempt me beyond reason and throw a temper tantrum when I refused to cave in to your selfish whims."

           His tone sounded more disgruntled than angry, so she sidled closer to him.  When he showed no sign of reaching for her, she tentatively put her arm about his shoulders.  He didn't pull away, but his expression remained stern as he gazed up into her eyes.  Then she carefully lowered herself to sit on his lap.

           "Wrong way," he griped, but made no move to reposition her.

           Wrapping her arms about his neck, she leaned over to kiss his cheek.  "I love you," she said softly.

           His tone and expression softening, he said, "And I love you, but I am also very angry with you right now."

           "I know.  Can I do something else to make you less angry?  Something which won't be quite so painful for me?"

           "I'm hurting, too, Amanda.  More than you know.  I was willing to forgive your teasing, but I am not willing to overlook your infantile show of temper."

           "And if I refuse to comply?" she asked, more than a little afraid of his answer.

           "Then I hope you have fun in England alone, because I won't be going with you."

           She surged up off his lap.  "You can't possibly be serious.  Are you saying you won't go on our honeymoon if I refuse to let you spank me?"

           "Yes.  I'd say that's about it," he answered, crossing his arms over his chest.

           In an unconscious mimicry of his stance, she wrapped her arms about herself.  "I think I hate you right now."

           "The evening is early, yet.  I shouldn't have any difficulty turning that into a definitive statement by midnight."

           "Fine!"  Arms slapped to her sides, she glowered at him.  "I'll go by myself," she threatened, storming into the bathroom and slamming the door.

           "Congratulations.  You just made it to fifteen, darling," he called back.

           She flung herself down on the toilet neither of them used and gave vent to her anger by stomping her feet and hitting her thighs with her fists while taking care not to make a sound.

           "Throwing a tantrum in there is not acceptable either.  You're now up to twenty."

           "Argh!" she yelled back, lifting her fist in a gesture, which was far from polite. "What?  Am I forbidden from displaying any form of anger now?"

           "At the moment, yes.  And for every minute you delay this reckoning, I'm going to add a swat."

           She marched back into the room with her hands on her hips and called, "Pink"

           "An improper use of your safe word given I haven't touched you.  Let's see, for that I think--"

           "No more.  Please," she begged, her shoulders drooping with defeat.  Her every step filled with regret, she returned to him with tears welling in her eyes.  "I'll do it.  Okay?"

           He set his hands back on the bed so they were out of her way.  With a swallow and a groan of deep reluctance, she lowered herself across his knees and tensed as his left hand settled between her shoulders.  Then his right hand stroked her buttocks.  He often did that to get her to relax, since he claimed the spanking would hurt less if she didn't tense.  The irony of the action was not lost on her.

           He continued to stroke her.  "Should I make you count," he asked almost conversationally, and she clamped her jaws.  "No, don't tense.  I'm not hurting you, so there is no cause for you to tighten yourself."

           "I think the point is you intend to hurt me, and this delay is making me nervous," she complained.

           He smacked her, then.  Enough to make her nerves tingle, but not hard enough to hurt.

           "One," he announced, stroking her again.  She loosened her grip on his leg a little and released her breath.  Perhaps he would take pity on her after all.  The second swat was a tiny bit harder and she jerked in reaction, but even that one hadn't hurt, and his stroking soothed her before she could react to it.

           "Two."

           Finding pleasure in his touch, despite her position, Amanda closed her eyes and relaxed by letting her head and arms drop in surrender.

           "Three," he said still stroking her, then his hand slipped between her legs and conducted a teasing exploration.  Despite her body no longer making the same the lubrication it had when she was mortal, blood still pooled in her genitals when she was aroused, making her swell with need.

           "Four," he said as she arched and moaned at the pleasure he drew out of her during his exquisite torture.  His finger circled and stroked all around the tiny nubbin that throbbed for his caress as he studiously avoided it.  This, no doubt, served as a more subtle punishment.  Reminding her, he ached and desired as well and yet was denied.  Impatient and hungry, she whimpered and wiggled her bottom to signal him of her growing need.

           "Did you wish to tell me something, darling?" he asked as his finger skated ever so slightly over her pulsing flesh.

           Amanda tried pushing back against his fingers, but he held her too firmly.

           "No moving," he reminded with a light pat on her backside before he removed his hand.

           "Marcus!" she cried out in protest.  "Please.... I need you to--"

           Her words were cut off the moment his finger located and stroked the nose of her gazelle.  Tiny tingles coursed through her, and she whined.  She was so close.  Despite guiltily enjoying the attention he paid her, Amanda wanted and needed more.  And though she refused to complain about this new punishment, she was desperate to come.  Now.  Another stroke and she instinctively parted her legs to give him better access.  His finger unerringly sought and caressed exactly where she needed it and she arched into his palm as her orgasm started to build when he drew his hand back and gave her another swat.  A painful one.

           "Ow!" she protested, turning to glare at him.

           "Five," he said, stroking her backside again.  Though he didn't appear angry, he did look resolved.

           He hadn't let her come, but the swat managed to squelch her need for the moment.  Worried he was about to get serious, she gripped his leg again and heard him chuckle softly.  Wanting to growl and bite him, she gritted her teeth.  He was enjoying this far too much for her peace of mind.

           "Since you feel it's time I put a little more sting into this punishment of yours, for the next five you have my permission to cry out, if you wish, but I do not want you to rise from my lap.  Understand?"

           At her nod, the five stinging swats were delivered so quickly, she almost couldn't tell them apart.  Those hurt enough to bring tears to her eyes, but she remained in place and kept her lips clamped.  She hissed out her discomfort when he went back to stroking, but he ignored her complaint.  Instead, with each caress that traveled from the small of her back to the fleshy tops of her thighs, he counted out the next five numbers, to fifteen.

           Relaxed again, she closed her eyes.  He'd never mixed pain and pleasure before, and she wasn't sure she liked the combination.  Her backside felt warm and tight, but the tingles weren't unpleasant, which surprised and confused her.  Though she still wanted to come, she let her body go completely limp as he tenderly stroked away any lingering discomfort

           "Five more to go, and your punishment will be complete," he announced, his hand rubbing with purpose now.

           She gave a small moan.
