Today Jessica Brand is visiting to share information on her latest novel "Laura's Longing." Jessica writes extremely explicit stories that I assumed were out of her imagination, but I asked "When you
write, do you ever model any characters after actual people?" and she answered, "My inspiration
comes from my own fantasies and experiences then I weave them into a story
that, hopefully people can relate to. I want people to read my stories and be
able to imagine themselves in the thick of the action – either as the dominant
character or as the submissive. Some but not all of my characters are modeled on real people I’ve met and played with." So, she definitely knows whereof she writes.
Picking up one of the ankle cuffs,
she studied it closely. It was multi-layered brown leather with a shiny chrome
D-ring on one side and large chrome buckle on the other. Bending over, she
closed the cuff around her ankle, surprised at how comfortable it felt without
even buckling it up. Straightening up to return it to its place on the bed, her
hand slipped inside her panties, confirming what she already knew. Her body was
ready but she was still unsure about her mind. She had two and a half hours to
decide.
Taking the collar in her hand, she
held it up against her neck. The skin of her neck was particularly sensitive
and she had always loved it when Brandon had kissed and gently nibbled it, not
that he did it as often as she would have liked. As the leather touched her
skin it caused a little shiver to pass through her and she wrapped it around
her completely, doing up the buckle just tight enough to be comfortable.
Looking at herself in the mirror, she smiled at her reflection, thinking the
collar made her look like an innocent little puppy. As she was considering the
potential for the evening she wondered whether she was really as innocent as
she liked to think.
Switching her focus to the shiny
steel handcuffs, she reached down and carefully picked them up, surprised at
how heavy they felt. She played with the two halves, swinging one around to see
how it slotted into the locking mechanism. She had never handled handcuffs
before and they scared her and fascinated her in equal measure, representing
helplessness and control. Hearing a click, she realized she had accidently
locked one of the cuffs. "Shit. No," she said, panicked. Yet, she felt
a little gush inside her panties she knew was not from her excitement, but
fear. "No, no, no," she
repeated as she tried desperately to pull the cuff open.
Realizing her efforts were
fruitless, she tried to slip her hand through the locked cuff but found that,
as dainty as her hands were, it would not fit through the hole. Tears sprung to
her eyes as she slumped down on the bed in utter frustration, trying to work
out what to do. She had just failed her first test and she was shattered.
Noah's note made it quite clear. She was to be very careful with the handcuffs
and if she didn't follow his instructions, he would not see her. As she sat
there in despair, a thought struck her.
Racing to the bathroom, she
grabbed a hairpin. People always used hairpins to pick locks in the movies! It
looked easy enough. Surely she would be able to unlock the cuff and save her
evening. Slipping the end of the pin into the lock, she began moving it around
with no real idea of what she was doing. Sliding it and twisting it this way at
that in the forlorn hope that the lock would release, she became increasingly
frustrated when nothing happened. Finally she threw the hairpin to one side and
desperately pulled on the unrelenting cuff. "Aaarrrgghh," she
squealed as her anger got the better of her.
Blurb:
A story of love and exploration. Laura is the quintessential all
American small town girl, the vivacious cheerleader who is saving herself for
the love of her life. Unfortunately the love of her life is the bad boy in
town. Young love being what it is, she finally decides he’s the one to make her
a woman and she develops a plan for her fairytale outcome. Unfortunately her
fairytale turns into a horror story when she finds her beau, in flagrante
delicto with another girl bent over the kitchen table.
In her anger and her grief she seeks solace from
her closest girlfriend and after purging some of her pent up lust in the arms
of her friend she decides the town is not big enough for all of them and moves
to the city to make a new life. Accepting an offer of accommodation in Denver
from a mysterious woman a few years older than herself, Laura soon discovers
activities taking place in her host’s basement studio that defy Laura’s
comprehension. Initially shocked at what she witnesses, her shock turns to
arousal as she watches erotic games involving activities she had no idea were
possible.
Determined to explore further, she convinces her
host introduce her to this strange world of bondage and discipline where the
lines between pain and pleasure are blurred, where being spanked could be
erotic or agonizing, depending on one’s perspective. Her first experience
convinces her she needs more and after unexpectedly meeting a new love, sets
about introducing him to the BDSM netherworld. Ensuring he learns from experience,
Laura is finally satisfied as their love is consummated in the erotic confines
of her housemate’s dungeon.
It is not for the faint-hearted as it takes the
reader into the highly erotic world of consensual BDSM.
