Felicity Brandon has dropped by to share a snippet from her novella "The Kings Vice" which is her contribution to the Six of the Best - British Spankings Anthology.
This is a perilous
game, and one which I am almost certain to lose. If I play badly, then I risk
upsetting him and my family will bear the brunt of my failure. Yet if I win –
ah, if I win – I could lose something far more precious than even wealth or my
reputation; I could lose my heart.
Excerpt:
One stride and he
is right against me, his breath hot over my face, laced with the expensive wine
we consumed earlier in the evening. “Yes, Lady Jane,” he answers. “This is
where you shall be bared and spanked.”
Bared? I know my eyes widen at the word.
“I am to be bared, Your Majesty?” I say, forcing the words from my mouth in a
rush of anxious excitement. “All of me?”
He breaks into a
low laugh. “There is a choice,” he replies, pushing my shoulders gently
downwards, so that my bottom falls to the soft bedding below me. Now he towers
over me, and as I raise my head to see him, my eyes meet his groin. I still at
the sudden proximity to the place I know conceals His Majesty’s passion, my
gaze lingering longer than it has right to, before rising slowly to meet his
delicious brown eyes. His grin widens, acknowledging the brazen nature of my
thoughts, and unbelievably I blush again, grateful for the shadows which may
just hide my shame.
“A choice, Your
Majesty?” I manage, my chest rising and falling faster with each passing
moment.
He lowers himself
in front of me, so that our eyes are at the same level. “A choice,” he agrees,
pressing himself forward over my body. I gasp as he shifts his weight, his
dexterity taking me by surprise. The sudden appearance of his face forces me
backwards, and I find myself pinioned beneath his body, my legs splayed
awkwardly under the skirts of my gown.
“There is always a
choice, Lady Jane,” he murmurs, the strands of his dark curls hanging about my
face.
I bite my lip,
confusion and arousal at my change of circumstances, combined with my
restricting bodice making it hard to breath. “What is the choice, Your
Majesty?” I gasp.
The smile on his
face is sin itself, and in this moment, I know that I have walked straight into
his trap, although whether I have done so willingly or not is not even clear to
me. “You can either be upturned over my knee, your skirts hoisted high over
your back so that your delicious bottom is exposed to my palm, or…” He pauses,
angling the weight of his stare over my face.
My mind, filled
with the image he has just painted of me, reels at the silence. Is he expecting
me to reply? What is the etiquette for such moments?
His expression
shifts into a low chuckle as he appraises whatever constitutes my expression at
this moment, and fortunately he once again takes pity on me, his humble
servant. “Or, you can be stripped entirely.”
This time I cannot
conceal the audible gasp which escapes from my lips. “Entirely, Your Majesty?”
I repeat, as though surely his words cannot be real. Although of course I know
them to be true, having only just left four naked ladies in the prior room.
“Yes, dear Jane,”
he muses from over me. “A lady can only truly be admired in her own, natural
form.”
I contemplate him,
this man—my monarch—who has captured me so easily into his delicious game. “No
one has ever seen me bare, Your Majesty,” I whisper, the words an admission of
my innocence—a fact I have already articulated.
He nods. “I know,”
he replies. “And I assume that until this night no man has ever claimed your
sweet mouth, spoken to you of such lewd subjects, or pinned you against his
bed?”
His brow rises as
he speaks, the small gesture releasing a flood of moisture from between my
legs. I am not absolutely clear what it is about him which is so alluring, but
he most certainly has it. Yes, he is
the King, and yet it is so much more than that. He is the devil in disguise, a
debauch and beguiling demon, sent forth to worship and corrupt me. The thought
makes me smile, in spite of my shame on the subject.
“You’re correct,
Your Majesty,” I say with a small nod. “You are the first, on all counts.”
Smiling at the
acknowledgment, he lowers his face into mine. Those full lips graze my mouth,
parting my lips in an instant as my eyes slip shut. I want him to kiss me, to
claim me, to own me. I desire it in a way I have no right to do. I demand it.
