Frisky Friday - 11/20/15 - Mortal Illusions - Claire demands proof #Vampires #ParanormalRomance

Sometimes a monster really is hiding under the bed.

Welcome to another offering for Frisky Friday, where we hope you're getting as excited about the weekend as we are.  This week, I'm sharing an excerpt from my 1st book, Mortal Illusions. A vampire romance published by New Concepts Publishing, Mortal Illusions is currently the first in a series of 3 books.  Its sequel, Fatal Desire, is currently under production.

 

This snippet occurs at the beginning of Chapter 6.  Germaine St. Justine and Claire Daniels are both attending the opening night festivities of Germaine's newest musical "Dracula." Claire's mother died the day before, and Germaine dedicated their opening night performance to her.  Though Claire is grateful for Germaine's support, she has grown more and more convinced he is a vampire and was once her mother's lover. So, when she begins spouting accusations that Germaine is truly undead, he suggests their backstage doctor sedate her enough to calm her down so she can complete her performance.  Claire is furious with him for avoiding her questions and overriding her wishes in the matter, but finishes her performance and attends the opening night party, since she doesn't want to do anything that might ruin the occasion her mother had most wanted to see. Claire's Broadway debut. However, Claire isn't handling her grief well, and when she begins her third glass of champagne, Germaine intervenes by lifting the filled flute from her fingers with the warning that alcohol and tranquilizers don't mix as he escorts her over to the buffet and begins filling a plate for her. When she presses him for information, he dismisses her questions as nonsense. But Claire is determined to get Germaine to tell her the truth about himself, including the real reason he went behind her back and fired her dresser.
.

            Claire drew back with a scowl, then her eyebrows rose in an open challenge.  “Go ahead and make fun, but I think Joan Cambry's got you running scared.”

            He responded with a disparaging sound of disagreement.  “Oh, please.  Fear and terror come in many forms, Claire, but that scrawny, evil-minded woman isn't one of them.”

            “She threatened to expose you!”

            “Then she would have been finished as a professional dresser in this city,” he replied, his retort laden with quiet menace.

            Claire held a hand to her throat as she struggled to swallow.  Unsure whether she was having difficulty downing his words or the food, he moved to fetch her a glass of water when she asked in a strained voice, “Because of what you'd do to her?”

            “No,” he answered, tired of defending himself and frustrated because Claire refused to be reasonable.  “Because of what she'd be doing to herself.  She'd be the laughing stock of her union.”

            “Would she?  I believe her, and I'm not laughing.”

            “Really?”  He sat beside her.  “Think about what you're saying, Claire.  If I were truly what you accuse me of being, I wouldn't need to fire Joan.  I'd just use my powers to ensure she no longer presented a threat to me.  Then I'd use those same powers on you.”

            He watched a myriad of emotions cross her face.  For a moment he believed he might have convinced her, then her eyes lifted to his in a silent dare.  “All right.  Prove to me you aren't everything Joan says you are.”

Though Germaine is concerned about Claire, he's more worried by the notion she has discovered the truth about him. Vampires do exist, and walk among us, but if an uninitiated human suspects, the vampire is supposed to clear the mortal's mind of such foolishness. Germaine finds such tactics distasteful, but he may not have a choice in Claire's case. They are too closely connected.

#MFRWHooks - 11/18/15 - Deadly Enchantment - Facing the beast. Literally #Shapeshifters #ParanormalRomance

Fair Warning: Wizards don't always play fair.

Welcome to MFRW Book Hooks, a regular Wednesday feature! Today, I'm sharing a snippet from my second book, Deadly Enchantment, a Victorian paranormal romance concerning the deadly rivalry between two shape-shifting wizard brothers.  The legitimate heir, Terrence, received his father's money and title, but his illegitimate half-brother, Dominic, received all their father's affection and love, earning all of Terrence's resentment.

Published by New Concepts Publishing, the story revolves around a young psychic woman unwittingly drawn into the brotherly conflict when she faces off with the dark wizard of Ravenscroft, whom she is convinced has brutally slaughtered her sister in a fit of jealous rage on their wedding night.

In this segment from Chapter Four, Serena decides to confront Westcroft directly by marching into his study and insisting he admit his true goal is to purposely frighten the other women, who'd been selected by his sister as his potential brides, into leaving. Though Serena knows Westcroft possesses magical powers, she's just not sure what form they take other than parlor tricks, so she decides to see for herself just how far he is willing to go, but changes her mind when she recognizes the danger in provoking the beast.  Except she's too late. When she reaches for the door handle she discovers he'd locked her in with him. Magically.

            Bravado stiffening her spine, Serena turned back to face Westcroft.

            “I believe, my dear, that like me, you already are damned.”

            Then, before her eyes, his form blurred and he shifted into the shape of the white leopard in her dreams.  Terrified beyond reason, Serena rushed to the door and cried out as she clawed at its handle, desperate for the portal to open.  But the house and household, like the approaching predator, appeared deaf to her pleas.  With nowhere else to turn, she pressed her back and against the door and straightened her spine to face her death as bravely as she could muster.  But instead of attacking, the animal stopped just three feet away and stared at her through unblinking blue eyes that seemed vaguely human.

            “What do you want?” she asked, her voice sounding hoarse and strange to her ears.

            In response, the leopard tilted its head to one side.

            When it took another step forward, she closed her eyes, unable to look any longer.  She fully expected to feel the cat’s sharp teeth rip into the flesh of her throat, instead she felt hot breath caress her fingers and a warm, wet tongue lick her already moist palm.  Then a hard nose gave her fingers a nudge in an obvious request to be petted.

Though Dominic Westcroft has done nothing to hurt Serena or her cousin, yet, the potential remains ever-present, and Serena still suspects the wizard is responsible for the brutal murder of her sister. Now, her suspicions may have taken an ugly reality.

Guest Post - 11/17/15 - "A Little Sunshine" by Abbie Adams & Maggie Ryan #DD #Spanking #Ageplay

Excerpt:

"Come here, little girl. It's your turn."

"What?" Her head snapped back in his direction and her eyes connected with his dangerous, gray glare.

"I only give instructions once, so you had better pay attention to me, young lady. I want you in front of me now." His already deep tone of voice lowered. It didn't reassure her, instead making her a little more aware of the predicament she was in. How had she gotten herself into this again?

She moved quickly to obey his command that time, even though she was trying to figure out what to say or how to protest, but words wouldn't spring to mind, much less leave her lips. Her fingers still wanted to pick at and rub each other endlessly. Standing in front of him, Sunny felt awkward and now had a new understanding of that phrase about knees knocking.

He studied her without any sign of shame, his dark heated gaze travelling slowly over her small body.

"So, you are fascinated by spanking, are you?" His left eyebrow arched dangerously.

"No!" She finally found her voice and could feel her cheeks turning red.

"But you liked watching. Are you now trying to lie to Daddy?"

She gulped hard, trying to keep her mouth from falling open. Had he said Daddy? She couldn't look at his face anymore.

"I just—I don't know. It's barbaric," she stuttered. Oddly enough, she'd never had a stuttering problem prior to that night.

"Perhaps, but you liked it, and now it's your turn because it is not nice to watch when you don't have permission. You're going to learn very quickly that a punishment spanking is not fun. Pull your pants down and put yourself over my lap and I'll take it easy on you for obeying."

"No!" she gasped, turning to run away as reality sank in. She was going to be spanked by him! He was really going to do it. Trent caught her arm in his with one hand and the other easily tugged her stretchy leggings down. She was flailing, but it was useless. With a strong tug, she was upended. His muscular thighs were hard against her tummy, his torso warm against her side, and his arm across her back held her tightly in place.

"No. Let me go! Oh, please don't do this. Oh no, no, no," she wailed.

"You can stop the theatrics; they won't get you anywhere. Little girls who are naughty get spanked." His other hand came to her hip and pulled her tighter against him. "And, we both know you were a very naughty little girl, don't we?" He didn't wait for her answer though she was sure she couldn't have if she'd tried. Her stomach was flipping as her brain tried to assimilate the truth of her situation.

The reality of her position became clear as he continued in that stern tone. "I am going to spank you and I'm not going to stop until you have learned your lesson. You don't spy on people."

Blurb:

A vacation at an all-inclusive resort in Cancun… who could turn that down? A librarian named Sunny that's who. After learning that her best friend, Tiffany, can no longer accompany her on their dream vacation, Sunny is prepared to stay home in her safe little world. Tiff is having none of that and forces Sunny to take the trip as well as promise to have enough fun for the both of them. Capitulating, Sunny boards the plane with nothing more than her beloved naughty books and her vivid imagination as her travel companions. The only redeeming factor is that she will have an entire week to indulge herself—even if only in her fantasies.

Mexico has so much to offer—the sparkling Caribbean Sea, white beaches, lush green rain-forests and the heat is not confined to the sun. Sultry Latin men with nefarious plans, an ancient civilization and incredibly sexy identical cowboys give her everything she needs to fuel her daydreams.  So why does one face keep creeping into her dreams?

Ever since she witnessed Tiff's older brother spanking his girlfriend, her mind has replayed and rewritten the scene a thousand times. How many times has she imagined taking the place of the girl over his lap, begging her Daddy not to spank her anymore? But, how can Trent become not only her lover but her Daddy if he doesn't know she is alive?

Every time Trent has tried to talk to Sunny, she hurries away, but the look in her eyes has his every instinct humming. Learning that she is alone in Mexico, his plan begins to develop. The moment he spies the beautiful, half-naked young woman over-indulging in Jose Cuervo, he knows it's time to bare his heart and, of course, turn her over his knee and spank her bare bottom. She's always been his Little Sunny but it was time to teach her all the ways she could burn.

What will happen when Sunny discovers that while she could easily choreograph a fantasy and wake up before she truly paid a price for her naughtiness, spankings given by a real flesh and blood Daddy on a bare backside really hurt! Or is Trent just a figment of her imagination and she is still dreaming?

About the Authors:

Maggie Ryan

Author for Blushing Books.  I write both contemporary erotica and historical spanking romances.  I enjoy writing about characters that enjoy the provocative D/S lifestyle of today’s times as well as taking a step back into the past to write stories that take place in the Victorian era with age-play as a theme. 

I live in the great Lone Star state with my wonderful husband.  I have always loved reading.  Growing up in a family with four children, it was difficult finding a place to be alone.  I was probably one of the squeakiest clean girls on the planet as I would spend hours in the tub so I could read without being bothered.  It wasn’t long before I began to make up my own endings to the books I was reading.  From there, it just seemed natural to begin writing my own stories.

I never try to restrict myself to any one genre because there are just too many delicious possibilities out there and inside my head.  I admit to being somewhat of a romantic though as my stories always must have a great deal of love, passion, corporal discipline and, of course, great, mind-blowing sex.  I want my readers to be able to see, hear, feel and know the characters that I’m creating as well as I do when I bring them to life and transfer their stories to paper.  I want my women to be strong of character but also strong enough to know that submission given in love and trust to your partner does not make you weaker, it makes you far stronger.    I want my men to be sexy, strong, demanding alpha males who know how to take what they want while acknowledging it is a gift they have been blessed with by the women that have chosen to submit to them.  I want there to be no doubt that they truly would die for the other no matter how others might view their relationship.

#6BestHop - 11/15/15 - Arrested by Love - Tiffany confesses all #DD #Spanking

He caught her speeding in a school zone and decided she needed to learn even civil disobedience could have very painful consequences.

Welcome to Sunday's Six of the Best.  For this hop we get to share six paragraphs from a published work or a WIP (work in progress). I've decided to continue on with the excerpts I shared for Sneak Peek Sunday. So, if you've been reading those, these snippets are direct continuations from my previous shares.

My submission for this week is from my 3rd book, Arrested by Love.  A handsome, but strict, police officer  decides a spoiled socialite needs a special lesson in obeying the law.

Tiffany Morgan has been in love with Kyle Sinclair since she was ten years old, when he'd turned her over his knee for attempting to swim in a raging white water river. Though she'd been furious with him at the time, Tiffany never told her family what Kyle did. Instead, she began trailing after him like an annoying younger sister as she tried to gain his attention.

Now, eleven years later, Kyle, a patrol officer, is finding it much more difficult to maintain his distance from the irresistible and vivacious redhead who continues to invent ingenious ways to attract his interest. Though he dismissed her initial attraction to him as infatuation, as she grew-up, his own feelings of desire and protectiveness deepened. So, despite his constant struggle to resist the spirited little minx's lures, Kyle finally has to admit that he is losing the battle--badly.

After Kyle makes it clear to Tiffany that speeding will earn her much more than a ticket from him, he gives into the inevitable and asks her out on a date.  He loves her, but isn't sure he's the right guy for her.  However, he no longer fights the attraction between them as he dates her exclusively, but Tiffany wants more, so she makes her stand, and Kyle makes it clear how her life will change if they get married.  And he persists by asking if she even thought she could live on a budget.  When she informs him she is not fiscally irresponsible, he tells her that if she can live for one month on the budget he sets for her, and show how she'd been able to save the rest of her salary, without going to her daddy for help, he will ask her to marry him.  But after two weeks in a row of going over, Tiffany seeks out her father in a tearful panic. He agrees to bail her out, but warns her that men can forgive a lot, but lying is something they find difficult to excuse.

So, by lying to Kyle, Tiffany finds herself swiftly spiraling downward into a morass of guilt that has her sobbing when he proposes. Confused, Kyle tries to get to the root of the problem as he comforts her, but when she admits she's been less than truthful with him, he demands she tell him what, exactly, she did.

            Very haltingly at first, Tiffany confessed everything she'd done, even going to her father to help make up the difference.  "I'm sorry, Kyle.  I really did try hard, and I promise I'll try even harder in the future."

            Though she looked so small and pitiful as she stared up at him with wide green eyes, he still shook his head.  "Not good enough.  I think you and I need to take a short ride in the car together.  Now."  He spoke the words sharply, so she would immediately understand his intentions.

            Her eyes widened with obvious dismay as she shook her head and shrank back from him.  Kyle didn't want her to fear him.  It was good for her to be a little apprehensive of his intentions, perhaps.  But not scared.  However, he also wanted her to understand that there were serious consequences for lying, and he intended to see she paid them--in full.

            He unfolded his arms then turned to face her.  "Very well.  It would appear that this is choice time again for you, Miss Morgan.  Either you come with me now, quietly, and without fuss, or I walk away and we don't see each other for a while."

            "How long?" she asked with a slight cringe. 

            He raised an eyebrow, then gave a time frame he certainly hoped she would reject.  "A year."

Tiffany loves Kyle, and wants to prove to him she can will make a good wife, except she's never tried to keep to a budget before, and she quickly discovers it's much harder than she originally thought.  She knows going to her father is against the rules, but she can't face Kyle's disappointment for the second week in a row, so she breaks the rule, convincing herself she'll make it up in another way. However, when she falls short yet again, she begins to feel like a total failure, and actually bursts into tears when Kyle proposes. Despite being a bit relieved when he realizes she hasn't fallen for someone else, Kyle knows it's important for him to set the ground rules for their relationship up front.

#SatSpanks - 11/14/15 - A Dom's Dilemma - Obedience isn't always easy #BDSM #Spanking

She needed his protection, except he insisted on her honest submission first.

Reading this material at Work could get you spanked.

Welcome to the Saturday Spankings blog hop.  My stories are all M/f with the dominant male determined to protect the woman he cares for and loves, or grows to love, by doing whatever it takes to ensure her safety and continued health.  This includes administering a spanking when she needs one.  

My submission for this week is from my first BDSM novel, A Dom's Dilemma, published by Blushing Books.  I'm picking up exactly where we left off last time.

In this scene, Jim, a former Texan who works as a police detective by day and lives and plays as a Dom by night, is in the Velvet Chains BDSM medical station working with his new submissive, Kelly Franklin.  When Kelly balks, Jim suspects fear, rather than brattiness, is responsible for her reaction.  After giving her repeated opportunities to tell him what's bothering her, he decides to continue with his original agenda.  However, when Kelly discovers he intends to give her an enema, her fear increases exponentially, which validates his suspicions, but doesn't address Kelly's lack of trust or stubborn refusal to obey.  So, after reminding his reluctaont sub what BDSM is about, Jim gives her an ultimatum.  Say her safe word or submit to his will.  Kelly agrees to do what he wants, despite the persistent inner voice urging her to run away.  Though Jim's purpose is not to humiliate or punish Kelly, her previous experience with medical BDSM was both embarrassing and painful. When she tells Jim this, he uses extra care and patience with her to coax her through the process. However, what goes in must eventually come out, and Jim is trying to teach Kelly a lesson as well as make sure she is fit for anal play, so he insists upon staying with her.

  

             Kelly was cramping so fiercely, it was a struggle for her to keep the water inside her, but she didn't want to do this with him so close.  Finally, she let out a cry of pain.

            "Kelly, I'm startin' to get real upset with you.  This is nonsense.  Now do as you're told, or I'll add a paddlin' to make things even more uncomfortable and embarrassin' for you.

            Unable to hold it in any longer, and knowing nothing she said would convince him to leave her, Kelly closed her eyes tight against the tears flowing freely down her cheeks and did exactly as he demanded.  It was an odd feeling for her to empty her bowels while someone kissed her ear and praised her.  She hadn't been praised for going to the toilet since she was potty trained, and even then it was more the threat of a beating if she didn't do it, rather than praise when she did.

            Master James didn't even allow her toilet paper afterwards, but she only groaned when he insisted she roll over on one cheek while he wiped her down with baby wipes.

Kelly has a past she's not willing to share with anyone, and enemas are a hard limit for her. Unfortunately, she adamantly refuses to say why, so Jim considers the procedure a necessity to ensure his new sub isn't concealing something that could make anal play dangerous for her. Though Jim's been trained and knows what to look for, withholding valuable information from a Dom is never a wise course of action for a sub to take, and this is a lesson in obedience.

Frisky Friday - 11/13/15 - Acting Lessons - Pride goeth before the fall #KissMeKate #SpankingRomance

Peter loved Kate with all his being, but that didn't mean he'd tolerate an ultimatum from her.

Welcome to another offering for Frisky Friday, where we hope you're getting as excited about the weekend as we are.

My submission for this week is from my 5th book, Acting Lessons.

 He was a strict and demanding college professor turned professional director who excelled at giving acting lessons.  She was his shy and uncertain former student who became a professional actress under his tutelage.  They fell in love, married, and won two Tony Awards before tragedy struck and a simple kiss ripped them apart.

After a six month separation, Peter Thorton decides to take matters into his own hands by making his famous wife, Kate, an offer she wouldn't refuse.  Plainly put, he wants her back and he intends to do whatever is necessary to achieve his goal, even if it means giving his stubborn, willful leading lady a daily reminder over his knee that she promised to obey him.

In this scene, which occurs at the beginning of Chapter Four, Peter Thorton is attempting to get his wife ready for a trip to a college camp ground in upper New York, where they will appear together in a summer stock production of "Kiss Me Kate." Kate has agreed to help Peter teach the drama students who have auditioned and been selected personally by him for the course he is teaching. Though Kate isn't sure she can trust Peter with her heart again, since she believes he's been unfaithful to her, she's never stopped loving him. And despite having Domestic Discipline originally play a part in their marriage, their last two years together had them living like polite strangers sharing the same house.

Now, however, they are temporarily reconciled and Kate has agreed to appear with Peter in a college summer stock production of Kiss Me Kate. She only hopes she isn't making a huge mistake. The place looked like it was made up of log cabins, and Kate does not like camping. However, when she tells Peter she wants him to honor their contract and let her have her own place, he is not the least bit happy about it. What Kate wasn't prepared for, however, were the primitive conditions of the cabin he assigned her, so when he tells her his cabin is for a highly paid staff member so it has much better amenities, she asks him to show her his.

             With a nod, Peter assisted Kate down the steps and kept hold of her arm as he walked her to his lodgings.  Though his place was far below Hilton standards, the cabin had glass windows with pull down wooden shades; a king-sized bed, with its substantial mattress already made up with sheets, blankets and a comforter; two wooden night tables with lamps; a large woven rug, which almost took up the entire cabin floor; two polished wood dressers, a desk, one chair and an attached private bathroom with a tub and shower.

            "In addition to electricity, the cabin is equipped with air-conditioning and heat."

            "I think I hate you right now," Kate murmured with a scowl.

            "This place is more than large enough for two, and I'm willing to share.  Your choice."

            Kate walked over to the bed, sat, and let out a soft little groan.  "You do realize how badly I want to tell you to stick your invitation up your--"

            He wagged a finger.  "Language, darling.  Same rules apply here."

            She slipped her hands under her thighs, most likely to keep from giving him a one-fingered salute, since she knew he'd take action if she did.  Yup, she was pissed.

Though Kate is putting on a good face, the sight of the camp where they'll be performing fills her with dread. Her idea of roughing it is staying at a three star hotel, and from what she's already seen, her cabin should be condemned as inhabitable.

#MFRWHooks - 11/11/15 - A Simple Misunderstanding - A vet's tender touch #CorbinsBend #Spanking

Happy Veteran's/Remembrance Day

It's Book Hooks Wednesday!  Yay!  And I'm sharing another excerpt from my new spanking romance in the Corbin's Bend series, A Simple Misunderstanding.  It's sequel, Past Interference is included in the Love in the Rockies anthology.

He came to her rescue when she needed him most, almost to lose her when she disobeyed him.

In this scene, which occurs in Chapter Six, Jerry Douglas, who has spent the day with Elly Benson, has been asked to leave the hospital, so he returns to his veterinary clinic to check on his patients. Muffin, a tiny toy poodle, was injured when Elly's husband attacked her. Jerry's technicians have spent the day caring for the dog, and now Jerry is there to check her out to make sure she's healing the way she should be.

Muffin gave a tiny bark and Jerry laughed.

“You’re a smart one, aren’t you?” He stopped the IV drip and carefully unwound the bandage holding in the plastic needle. “I’ll bet you’d like a drink of water, too, wouldn’t you?” Another lick, but she held perfectly still while he withdrew the tiny catheter.

After putting pressure on the site for a second, he removed the gauze and checked for bleeding. Looked good. “There you go, little one. Let me get this out of your way, then I’ll want to change your pad, since you’ve been a good girl and peed. After that, we’ll look into getting you some water and a snack. Once you’ve eaten, I’ll try putting you down to see if you want to do some other good girl business in our exclusive inside turf stop.” Muffin’s little tail beat a rapid tattoo against her cage. “Yeah, you like that idea, don’t you?”

Muffin lapped up the water he gave her and gobbled down the two ounces of moist food he offered. When she was done, she looked at him expectantly.

“No more food for now. Okay, come here, little one, and let’s go for a quick stroll.” He lifted her out of the cage with care in order not to disturb her sore ribs, then set her down in the inside park they had for convalescing dogs. She gave the area a couple of sniffs and promptly did her business.

No visible blood in the stool, but he’d check a sample chemically to make sure. When she sat down and gazed up at him with her big brown eyes, he grinned down at her.

“I’m tempted to bring you back into the house with me, but I’m afraid Jack might give a playful nudge and hurt you, so I think it’s best we leave you here for the night.” He knew he was imagining the disappointment he saw in the animal’s expression, but he’d swear she could understand every word he said. Or at least enough of them.

 

All the animals in his clinic are important to Jerry, but Muffin is special since she belongs to Elly.

M/F Domestic Discipline in Colorado.

Blurb:

Though Arthur and Eleanor Benson have been practicing domestic discipline for three months since their wedding, he insists moving to Corbin's Bend, where domestic discipline is the norm rather than the exception, will revitalize their marriage. Elly has doubts, but since Arthur is the undisputed head of their household, they move. However, once Arthur becomes immersed in a community where spanking is not only permitted, but encouraged, his personality undergoes a dramatic change. Accusing his submissive wife of being lazy, disorganized and disobedient, he employs creative methods of pain and humiliation to mold Elly from the imperfect woman he married into the perfect woman he desires. And Elly finds herself a virtual prisoner in her own home, accountable only to the man who rules her life with a cane.

In his years as a vet, Jerry Douglas has seen what abuse does to animals, and he recognizes those same signs in Elly Benson during her daily escape to the dog park with her tiny poodle. Jerry steadfastly supports the tenets of domestic discipline and enjoys the freedom Corbin's Bend offers its residents, but he remains fiercely protective of anyone in need of a champion. And when he witnesses evidence of harsh handling, his instinct is to rush in and rescue. Problem is Elly Benson is a married and consenting adult who insists all her bruises and welts are nothing more than a simple misunderstanding between her and her husband, until the day Arthur Benson takes his authority and discipline one-step too far, endangering Elly's life.
