Meeting Marshall
What happens when five of your favorite spanking authors
break the number one Castle rule regarded anonymity of its staff and guests?
Why, nothing less than a one-way ticket not just to the Castle, but to Master
Marshall's office. One by one, they are summoned back to speak with him, and
one by one they discover he is not in a forgiving mood.
Fulfilling Her Fantasy
When Master Marshall announces the first Castle slave auction
for charity at the end of the year, Wardrobe assistant Janice is intrigued. The
thought of being sold to an unknown Dominant for three consecutive nights is
both thrilling and terrifying.
Janice has been spanked plenty of times before, but there's
one thing she's always wanted to experience; she's just never, not in two years
of working there, been brave enough to ask for it.
The idea of auctioning off willing submissives to honor
founding Master Don's memory causes a ripple of excitement throughout the
resort, and everyone on staff is affected.
Winter is, after all, traditionally the quietest season of
the year, and an event this unusual - and kinky - is bound to bring the guests
flocking to the Castle.
Janice is conscientious enough to know that she'll be so flat
out in the Wardrobe, helping the auction participants find the perfect costumes
for the occasion, there's no way she'll be able to take part herself. That
thought is both a relief and a disappointment. Still, unless she manages to get
her increasingly disturbing fantasies about one of the resident Masters under
control, she's worried she might go insane.
So when her best friend and colleague, Ellen, gives her an
ultimatum, Janice must choose: Ask to play with the man who's been haunting her
dreams at night, or put herself up for sale to the highest bidder.
Can Janice find the courage to fulfill her ultimate fantasy?
Punishing Portia
When well-known chef and restaurateur David Marone recognizes
the food critic who just lambasted him in a review on the charity auction
block, he bids an inordinate amount to keep her as his slave for three nights.
He remembers the haughty foodie from culinary school seventeen years earlier,
and relishes the idea of getting even with her for her mean-spirited review.
Portia Sands hopes the dark and gorgeous Chicago chef who won
the bid for her at the Castle charity auction doesn’t know her real identity as
the food critic who tore him apart in a review the week before. She finds he
hasn’t changed since culinary school--still arrogant, over-confident and
domineering. Unfortunately, he has the same effect on her now as he did then:
reducing her to a trembling mass of jello.
When he pushes her to her limits, placing her in a cage like
a pet, she discovers he knows who she is, and means to exact revenge. She
considers calling the Castle safeword to end their time together, but some part
of her won’t allow it. Somehow she must survive three nights as his slave and
keep her heart in the process.
Buying Brianny
He was a man for God's sake. A man living in the twentieth
century where treating a woman delicately had been bred into him. You never hit
a girl, his mother had taught him that from a tender age. Women's rights were
touted hither and yon. Spanking was for disobedience in children. No, children
weren't spanked anymore either.
Kian had been spanked many times as a child. His single
mother might have seemed like a country mouse, but she'd walloped him good on
more than one occasion. And he'd deserved everything she dished out. He knew
it—and he knew she loved him and wanted the best for him too.
That hadn't worked with an ex of his though. She hadn't thought
of it as loving when he'd busted her ass for drinking and driving. No, she'd
ended the relationship in a hurry. Of course he'd never repeated the mistake
with another women. Not even his Brianny, who as it turns out, has craved
discipline among other things.
Brianny has a bucket list, not the kind you want to do before
you die—the kind you do before you get married. Okay, maybe not that either,
but her sister says unless Brianny explores her inner submissive, she'll never
be content with her future husband.
But what if said future husband turns her away because he
doesn't like her submissive side? It had taken Brianny a pint of Hot Damn and
her kinky sister to even put voice to her secret desires.
Some people go to strange and amazing lengths to prove their
love. All Brianny wants as proof is for Kian to buy her at The Castle's New
Year's Eve charity auction, then tie her up and take away her control.
Consentual, non-consent, that’s what her sister had called it. Was that too
much to ask?
Will Kian pay the asking price?
Sharing Silver
It’s been six months since her vanilla marriage ended in
divorce, and Sylvia is craving some fun and excitement – not to mention kink.
So when her friend Rosa tells her about a slave auction being held at her
workplace, the Castle, Sylvia throws caution to the wind and signs herself up
to fly all the way to America to be sold off to the highest bidder under the
nickname Silver. Gorgeous twin Castle Masters, Travis and Trevor, can have any
girl they choose – and frequently do. The only downside to topping female
guests, however, is the fact that there’s never enough time to build trust. So
when Trevor hears about the auction, he decides it’s time to be selfish, and he
and his brother set about looking for a plaything they can do whatever they
want with – a girl with as few limits as possible. When Silver and the twins
meet, the chemistry is instantaneous and palpable. But all too soon, something
more begins to develop between the three. What should have been a few days of
physical excitement turns into an emotional roller coaster – not only for
Silver, but for Travis and Trevor as well. Overwhelmed by the events at the
BDSM resort – and her feelings – Silver tries to get to grips with her past, as
well as the fact that she’s rapidly falling in love with the two biggest
playboys in Ohio. In turn, Travis and Trevor are smitten by the mysterious girl
from Australia, but whenever they try to get closer emotionally, she clams up.
Can the twins make her see what she means to them before it’s too late, and
Silver gets back on the plane home?
Owning O
She's the most highly-coveted submissive the Castle has ever
known. She never says no, never cries her safeword, and never plays with the
same Dom twice. For years Alan has watched her, always looking but never allowed
to touch until the night the Castle hosts its first ever charity auction.
Seizing his chance, Alan bids, but defeating the other Doms in the audience is
only the first and easiest step in his bid to own the infamous O. Freeing her
from herself quickly proves to be much, much harder... Owning O. Welcome to the
Castle.
Rosie's Resolution
'Don't chicken out' - those three little words are at the top
of Rosa's list of resolutions. Sure, she's never before kept any of her past
resolutions for even a week, but she is determined that this year it will be
different. As soon as Master Marshall announced that a Charity Auction would be
held to honor one of the Castle's founding Masters, Don, Rosa knew it was fate.
As an employee of the Castle, that marvelous place where any and all dreams and
fantasies can become reality, she knows that this is the time to pursue her
dream. Time to remove her Nanny uniform and don the clothes she has been
dreaming of wearing for as long as she can remember.
This New Year's Eve, she will stand on the stage and pray
that someone will bid for her and want to be her Daddy. The moment the gavel
falls, Rosa becomes Rosie - the Little girl who will spend the next few days
discovering what it's like to be taken care of, to be cuddled, and loved... not
only by a handsome, wonderful Daddy, but, to her immense surprise, by a beautiful,
loving Mommy as well... Will she discover that being Little isn't all fun and
games? Will she admit when she's been naughty - remembering that breaking rules
has painful consequences for her backside? Will she keep her resolutions long
enough to find the answers she seeks? And even if she doesn't chicken out, will
her heart be able to pay the price?
The room grew quiet when Master Marshall ascended the stage.
His formal black leathers melded him with the darkness in the room, and just
the sight of him as he crossed the dais to take up the auctioneer’s microphone
made the already thick tension in the room heavier.
“Good evening,” Master Marshall greeted, while the lights on
the stage moved to center him and bring the Master of the Castle into stark
relief against the red backdrop of the heavy velvet curtains. “Welcome, ladies
and gentlemen, to the Castle’s first ever Charity Submissive Auction. As many
of you know, this last summer the Castle lost one of its own to cancer. For
those of you who knew him, the loss has been soul-rending. For those who
didn’t, Master Don was one of the original six Masters with the vision to help
me take a dilapidated stone structure going to rubble in Scotland and bring it
here, to Ohio. His greatest contribution to our facility has been the Nobles’
Program, the period costumes, and the Master’s Supper and Show, where he
presided every night without fail that entire first year. There are bits and
pieces of his influence in every wing and every hall, and in the rules by which
we abide. In short, the Castle never would have become the success it is today
without Don, and so, what better way to honor his memory than by hosting this
charity event? Bid and bid generously. Each submissive you are about to meet
has pledged to make this a weekend to remember, and every penny you spend not
only will the Castle match, but it will, in Don’s name, be donated to aid in a
very worthy cause: the fight to eradicate cancer for good.”
Applause erupted through the room. Master Marshall held up
his hands, waiting for the room to quiet. “Before we begin, let’s go over the
rules. What you are purchasing tonight is the use of a willing submissive who
has vowed to make herself yours from the moment you make payment until ten
o’clock Monday morning. If you are the winning bidder in an auction, your
submissive will be removed to a waiting area while you settle your account. You
will then be given a file containing his or her likes, wants, desires…and hard
limits. You will make yourself familiar with those limits and you will not
cross those lines.”
The quiet that had descended over the audience became
amplified as Marshall looked over them, the ice blue of his gaze seeming to
pierce each one of them in turn.
“Your submissive has vowed to make his or herself pliant to
your desires,” Marshall continued, and his stare became positively glacial.
“But no still means no. If you cross that line, you will find yourself in my
office and I will not be forgiving. Also, the Castle rule regarding gags is
still very much in effect. If you do not apply for a waiver and I catch you
using one, I will not be forgiving. Are these rules understood?”
No one in the audience said a word, but his edicts were
crystal clear and after another sweeping glare, Marshal nodded. “Then let us
begin. Our first submissive, ladies and gentlemen. Please welcome…Jasmine.”
