She was a lonely, overworked and intense computer programmer. She’d spend her days absorbed by work and intellectual challenges. Her nights were filled with painful longing, kinky dreams, and masturbation.
He was an authoritative businessman with a conservative facade, boring marriage and maddening desires no partner could satisfy. The occasional stumbling in a willing woman’s bed was no relief for his needs. Until he met his match.
One unexpected encounter, one small exchanged glance would change it all. The game was on from the moment she accepted his challenge.
Unorthodox Therapy on David Perlmutter’s My Way 6: Sex For The Beach
In the early spring I received a message from David P Perlmutter, author of the true crime biography novel Wrong Place Wrong Time and creator of the My Way anthologies that give a chance of different authors from various genres to showcase their work. He was interested in erotica writers for his latest compilation. As a coincidence, I was working hard on editing my debut novel Unorthodox Therapy. It was a huge pleasure for me to say yes and join the other participants in that highly erotic compilation. It is already live and available on Amazon.
Chapter 8
/excerpt/
The rest of the weekend was spent entirely on research. My new ‘Master’ suggested I learned more about the lifestyle. He also sent me an excruciatingly long list of different fetishes and kink practices. When I opened the file on Sunday morning, I groaned and nearly gave up on the whole affair. It was fifteen pages, extensive and specific, covering every deviancy I’d ever heard of and so much more. There were things on there that I would never have even thought of to list as hard limits. At one point, I thought nothing could shock me more than ‘bondage with a tongue piercing attached to a nail on a tree’. After flipping the page, I nearly choked on the mineral water I’d been sipping. The next section was entitled Impact Play and some of its content completely destroyed my erotic mood. Knife play made my pulse quicken with worry, but when my gaze slid to electricity, cold sweat drenched my spine. Nausea rose all the way up my throat and I minimized the file so I wouldn’t vomit in my mouth. It was just… too much.
Luckily, Thomas answered on the first dial. The little bastard must have had the time of his life listening to the horror in my shaking voice.
“Please, tell me you don’t have any fantasies about cutting pieces of my flesh or electrocuting me.” I sounded shrill and panicky but that was how I felt. The items on the list had conjured up some very disturbing images of torn limbs, burnt smelling flesh, and permanent scars.
“Someone is fast at doing her homework.” He chuckled.
“Thomas, please! I don’t want to go through any actual torture or suffer permanent injuries. This shit is fucking scary.” Now I was openly screaming, unable to stop myself, on the verge of hysteria.
“Lina, please, calm down.” Thomas’s voice switched to a caring, concerned tone. It was stupid to be so terrified by mere words on a screen, but even the slight possibility he could turn out to be a cunning, violent sociopath made me flip my shit. “Sit down, rest your back on the chair and breathe, okay? One deep inhale and a slow exhale. Let the air out very slowly. Breathe.” Any other time I’d have been unhappy to be treated with such motherly concern, but his little trick had the necessary effect on me. As soon as I breathed out, some calmness filled my body as if the fear had leaked out. “Better?”

#SatSpanks No More Quiet Moans #BDSM #Unorthodox Therapy
Blurb:
I’ve no intention of explaining my every command to you, pet. As a matter of fact, quit asking questions and do as you’re told. Take your clothes off. Now.
Lina Riley has proved herself as the tough as nails CEO of her own tech startup. She’s a masterful business negotiator, successful by any measure, but every day she’s losing her battle with nicotine addiction. Thomas Jett, her former protégé, is a rising star in software development, one of her most promising employees. He might just have the right solution to her problems.
To the world, Thomas is a sweet, refined gentleman. He opens doors for ladies and lights their cigarettes, not that Lina should be smoking in the first place. Little does she suspect him of having secret life: one of firm discipline, intense sexual dominance, and a well-equipped dungeon.
Lina will agree to play by his rules: a master’s discipline and uncompromising control. Spanking is merely the start of Lina experiencing her wildest and most shameful fantasies. She’ll learn the cruelty of orgasm denial and the thrill of submission at Thomas’ feet.
Is their depraved passion and lust for each other what they truly need? Or will it lead them to disgrace and heartbreak?
#SatSpanks Teaser
“You will cum now, pet, and you will not stop until I say so. Cum now!” Thomas bit my
earlobe and his palm smacked my clit again, which was the final straw for my will power.
I thought my climax from last week had been mind blowing but it was nothing compared to what he did to my body in those minutes. No more quiet moans and porn orgasm sounds. My lungs hurt from my howls of ecstasy when the series of powerful orgasms shattered my body. Thomas ground his tip harder against my most sensitive spot. He kept up his rhythm of spanking my clit with an open palm. My orgasm juices erupted from my tight womb while I writhed under him, hurting with all the pleasure, finding elation in the pain.
“Don’t you dare stop. Keep cumming for me, Lina,” he hissed in my ear and tugged my clit at the same time. As if I had any choice.
I hope you found your small piece of heat with this excerpt. You can always one-click the book for more or check it out on Kindle Unlimited.

Author Spotlight: Ian D. Smith
He’s a professional scientist by day and an author of erotic romance in his free times. His stories involve beautiful characters who enjoy steamy sex scenes and also happen to have hang-ups, anxieties, and problems. Meet Ian Smith and the players of his series of interesting and sensual tales.
Lilah: Hello Ian, it’s a pleasure to have you in here and congratulations on your new book. How does it feel to be a published author? Pros and cons of being traditionally published?
Ian: Hi, and thank you for inviting me, Lilah. For me, having a book published is a mixture of encouraging, exciting and scary! Several people at my publishers clearly thought my story was worth investing time and effort it to get it on sale, which is a huge confidence boost. But suppose no-one buys it, or no-one likes it? I’ve not self-published anything yet, so I can’t comment on pros and cons. But my publisher takes care of all the “non-writing” details, like cover art, formatting and uploading to the various e-book retailers, which saves me a lot of time and stress.
Lilah: Why did you choose erotic romance as your genre? Were you an avid reader of the genre before?
Ian: I think my interest in erotica developed from reading stories from different genres and thinking the “love scenes” were a bit too tame. I enjoy reading quite a mix, including some “chick lit”, thrillers and crime. And yes, I read “Fifty Shades of Grey”, which I wasn’t over-excited about, but it clearly entertained a lot of readers and its popularity boosted the whole genre. My hope is to write entertaining and engaging stories about characters in developing romantic relationships. And the erotic stuff is part of the fun, but not the reason for writing the story.
Lilah: Have you been writing before? What was the most challenging about putting your ideas and words?
Ian: This is my third novella, and I’ve had several short stories published in anthologies over the last few years. But almost all of my writing has been factual, for my “day job”. These were the sort of technical reports and scientific papers which are typical for a professional scientist.
When I turned to fiction, I think the initial challenge (and fun) was finding my own natural “voice” to start writing my own ideas with and then finding my feet with characters, dialogue, plots and so on. Having been an avid reader for most of my life, I’ve seen plenty of examples of how to write well, so it’s just down to practice to write as well as I can.
Lilah: Do you have any writing method or ritual that helps you?
Ian: Not that I can think of. I tend to let ideas rattle around in my mind for a while, then just start writing them. If a story doesn’t seem to be ready for me to write it, I wait until it is.
Lilah: Are there authors and books of the genre that inspired you?
Ian: There are lots of authors who’ve inspired me by writing something which made me think “hey, I like that way of saying it”, and others who have helped me understand story-telling in a more general sense. And yes, a few who inspired me to see if I could do it better!
Off the top of my head, I remember reading “The Ipcress File” as a teenager and enjoying Len Deighton’s pretty sparse narrative style. I loved the way Elmore Leonard showed us a fight scene in “Be Cool” by having Chilli Palmer describe it to his lover. And Bram Stoker’s “Dracula” impressed me with its epistolary structure, interweaving multiple first-person written accounts and newspaper reports into a coherent story.
Lilah: Is there something in your current work you would have done differently if you could go back in time?
Ian: I can’t think of anything at the moment, but in a couple of years I may well look at my early work quite differently. I know I’ve still got so much to learn about writing.
Lilah: What are your future writing plans? Do you plan to branch out to different genres?
Ian: I want to finish the other three stories in this series of six, and have already made a start on number four. I’ve a “spin-off” novel which I hope will be published, and I’ve got an idea for a second book involving the same characters.
I’d also like to see if I can compile an entertaining anthology of some of my flash fiction and short stories. And I have quite other a few characters in my head who want me to tell their stories.
There’s one “must get back to this” story, primarily an adventure or mystery. Yes, this will include a developing romance, but this will be far less erotic and more “mainstream”. I started this a couple of years ago and it got to about 30,000 words when my characters seemed to go off on their own and did something which totally stopped me in my tracks! Now I see that this is an interesting twist which can add drama and tension, and I want to return to it and see what adventures these characters want to have.
Lilah: A favorite character of your books?
Ian: That’s an interesting question. I think I’d like all my main characters if they were real people and I met them. But the one character I’ve included who I find the potentially most interesting is Tom Petherick, one of the supporting cast in “From The Top”. I think he’s got some great stories to tell, but he’s not ready to share them with me yet. He’s an army officer, originally serving with the SAS, who commands what he insists is a “small ceremonial unit”, mostly of reservists, but they tend to deal with… unusual things. He features far more in my spin-off novel and will appear in novella number four as well.
Lilah: Thank you for your time, Ian. Before you go, is there anything people would be surprised to learn about you?
Ian: I’ve always been interested in trying new things, primarily, just for fun. Things like learning to ride, taking up archery, having an aerobatic flight, driving a tank, diving in a small submarine, and racing hovercraft around a field, for example. And I had a brilliant day learning the basics of jousting on horseback.
General comments on the series
I have six “Merely Players” stories in mind, where my three characters share a developing FFM relationship while they work on various TV shows. I thought it would be fun to make the three characters a bit more real-life than might be typical, each with their own hang-ups and anxieties, and a relationship which isn’t clearly dominated by one person.
Paul, highly intelligent, 6 foot 4 tall, well-built and a competent stunt performer with his own suit of shining armour, would easily be type-cast as an alpha male. But it struck me that a man moving on from his wife’s tragic death would have the odd anxiety about forming new relationships, let alone one with two women who have been close for ten years.
I decided they’d work mostly on family-friendly TV shows because these would mean I could include some light-hearted fun from the slightly silly storylines and improvised dialogue.
Knights Errant (Merely Players book 1)
Blurb:
Paul and his jousting team are performing a series of shows when two interesting and attractive women approach him. Best friends Becky and Hayley want stunt performers for a TV show and are both clearly interested in him personally. This nice guy doesn’t want to come between them, but they seem to be making it difficult for him to pick between them.
The King’s Captain (Merely Players book 2)
Blurb:
Paul, now Hayley’s leading man, finds acting in a TV show pushes him totally out of sight from his comfort zones. Off-set, he gets caught up in some terrifying, almost supernatural real-life dramas. Most confusing of all, Hayley isn’t bothered that her best friend Becky is still openly chasing Paul. Learning a secret which threatens his trust in both of them, he has to decide if he has the courage to ask them what they want.
“From the Top (Merely Players book 3)”
Blurb:
Paul, working with his lovers Becky and Hayley, feels deep-ended acting in his first studio production. This is a slightly mad family-friendly TV show where amateur Egyptologists find a hidden tomb and temple, with a very realistic mummy on set.
They want to keep their developing three-way relationship private, while surrounded by people who love to gossip and just might let things slip to the media. Time is tight, working with a professional stunt team and egotistical actors is stressful, and Paul and Becky get some unwanted attention.
Adding to his anxiety is the important question of where their relationship can go.
Then there are his terrifying, painfully realistic, and very life-like dreams about nasty accidents. On TV, he can have another take. Real life only gives him one go. But it’s almost as if he’s getting a chance to change how things work out.
Teaser
This is early in the story, when Paul, Becky and Hayley are supposedly running through their scenes for the following day, but might be losing interest after a few drinks. That show was set in the Second World War, with Paul as an RAF ace who saved London from an attack with “gueschtunkina poison gas”. The word was actually invented by Spencer Dryden for his excellent story, “The Gueschtunkina Ray Gun”, I used it with his permission.
Hayley slapped Becky on the knee and gave her a convincing pained look. “Notwithstanding the indelicate protestations of my so-called best friend and the equal third party to our mutually loving and supportive relationship, I think it’s got something sexy about it.”
I grinned. “Maybe we could distil it into bottles? Becky’s gueschtunkina aphrodisiac tincture, guaranteed to make you frisky.”
Becky drained her glass. “Aphrodisiac tincture, my arse. Just need the right company, the right setting, and enough alcohol.”
Hayley nudged her. “You can’t take the piss out of me being noisy with Paul. You sounded like you were having an asthma attack last night.”
Becky shrugged casually. “Well? You’d both already made me come.” She looked at me and smiled. “And he felt kinda big inside me.”
Hayley giggled. “Yeah, I know that feeling. Maybe we could market that ray gun as a novelty sex toy,” Hayley said.
Becky laughed. “Yeah, let’s get the props guy to knock one up for us, rent some space suits from a costume agency, then use my HD video camera to do our own sci-fi porno stuff.”
I stood up, made a pretend gun from my fingers and pointed at Becky. “Stand back, or I’ll fire!”
“Do your worst.” Hayley giggled.
“I warned you. Peeum, peeum. Ha, got you both.”
They looked at each other.
“He got me, Hayley.”
“And me. And that’s after having his wicked way with me this morning.”
“You mean as in all that ooh, ooh, aah, ahh noise the two of you were making?”
Hayley nodded. “And a loud yes, yes, yes shortly before the end. Made my knees go all weak.”
Becky shook her head sadly. “Just like he did with me last night. Big mistake to zap me, not himself. Big mistake.”
Hayley sat up, grabbed Becky and they fell onto the bed in an embrace, giggling.
“Paul, it’s working,” Hayley said. “Save me from this randy woman.”
I watched as Becky wrestled Hayley’s dressing gown off, despite very half-hearted resistance. Both seemed to be enjoying themselves. Seeing my two favourite women wrestling each other’s clothes off was one hell of a spectator sport.
“You two were sleeping together before I came along,” I said. “Not sure I get a say when you’re feeling frisky for each other.”
“Who said we’re just frisky for each other?” Becky asked, slipping out of her dressing gown. “It’s our last night here and it’ll be a couple of weeks before we all meet up again. I want lots of sex now.” She sat astride Hayley’s thighs, twisted to face me and raised her hand. She made a pretend gun with her fingers and pointed it at me. “Come on, more the merrier. Peeum, peeum.”
“Ah,” I said, and clutched at my chest. “I’ve been shot by the randy gun.”

#SatSpanks I Can Take You To Dark Scary Places #BDSM
Morning to all lovers of spanking for discipline and fun. Have a little snippet of my sexy summer romance (Okay, okay, my sexy dub-con hardcore yet sweet summer romance).
Blurb:
Sage Phoenix has been the thorn in Paul Skyler’s side ever since their final night of high school. She was a bright spot of chaos in his cerebral world of logic and order. The manic pixie dream girl who drove him crazy and left him panting, seduced and longing for more of her spell. The only woman who ever saw him in his most naked and vulnerable state.
For years Paul’s been dreaming of nothing but giving her a taste of her own poison. When he spots Sage behind the glass of her run down tattoo studio he knows he’d never get a better chance. His briefcase contains everything necessary to punish her, put her through her paces and keep her on the edge and at his mercy… just to humiliate her completely and leave her bound to her own tattoo chair.
Little does he suspect that by the end of the night he’d be too addicted to their power exchange to walk away. Little does she know that by the end of the summer she’d be completely under his spell.
#SatSpanks teaser
“Sage. I’m not here to judge you.” In a rush of bravery, I kissed her cheek and withdrew
before she could react. “Just talk to me.”
“They’d say I was topping from the bottom and that I was a very bad submissive. Or that
they couldn’t handle my bratty ways.”
That was a huge red flag even if I couldn’t fully trust what someone from her past would
say. Sage was a total brat, that was easy to see. Perhaps taming her would be a hell of a difficult job, let alone trying a relationship with such a wild, unpredictable woman. It would be easier if I kept her on my list as another kinky friend with benefits.
I couldn’t do it, though. I knew what I wanted, and going back to my old ways was no
longer an option.
“Listen.” I brought my face closer to her and cupped her face. “What we did last night
was actually rather tame. You have no idea what I’m capable of once I really unleash myself. I can take you to such dark, scary places you’d be at risk of losing your sanity. Once we start the way you want to, there may never be a way back.” My lips brushed briefly against hers. “Safewords are also a way for me to keep myself under control. I am ready to give you what you crave but I want to know I can bring you back in one piece, that I wouldn’t break or damage you.”

#SatSpanks Teaser
I was still shaking with arousal, and I wondered if it was too late to beg him to come back. The heat radiating between my thighs was leaving hot streaks of wetness down my skin. The lace panties were clinging to me, adding pressure to my already aching, engorged clit. His whole inspection of my stashes couldn’t have lasted more than a few minutes, but it felt like an hour. I was holding the position without the chance to touch myself and find relief in any way, in an impassive silence. The only way I could indulge myself was by stealing glances at Thomas when his back was turned. I could slide my hungry gaze down his sinewy shoulder blades under the shirt.
How could I not have noticed his quiet inner strength and subtle allure? Maybe I had missed seeing them, being too busy to keep him at an arms’ length.
I loved when he had my body pinned down under his and his sultry voice whispered shameful fantasies in my ear. They were too scary for me to say out loud. My wish to satisfy those carnal urges clashed with the fear of fully giving in. As a result, my throat was tied in a knot of frustration.
Those confused emotions were further complicated by the horror when Thomas snatched a pack of cigarettes from the false bottom compartment on one of my filing cabinets. He turned
back and raised them for me to see with a sadistic smile.
“Uh-oh, what do we have here? Someone has been a very bad girl. What did I say about
keeping these around, pet?” His teasing voice added to my confusion.
You want to see what will happen to her? You can always one-click the book or check it out on Kindle Unlimited.
Either way, head back to Saturday Spanking for more fresh snippets and delicious writing.

Review: Lost and Bound (The Dream Dominant Collection Book 2) by Pandora Spocks
Author: Pandora Spocks
Genre: BDSM, Erotic Romance
Purchase link: http://amzn.to/2lDwB2w
My rating: 5 out of 5
Blurb: Blake Walker is no stranger to tragedy. Immediately following a horrific event years earlier, he was lost for a while until he embraced his Dominant nature and found his true calling. But things change and now he’s back where he started, helping to run his family’s secluded lake lodge.
When pampered Hollywood starlet Shasta Pyke gets into trouble with the law, she’s sent to the wilderness of northern Ontario to cool her heels for a few weeks. There she meets sexy bush pilot Blake, who is tasked with seeing to her needs as the sole guest at the lodge.
Initially, Blake isn’t impressed with the spoiled actress, but he’s happy that her visit allows for his sister Jackie and her kids to go on a much-needed vacation. Try as he might, he can’t figure out what the hell Shasta Pyke is doing so far out of her element.
Shasta’s attracted to Blake’s obvious good looks, but there’s more to him than that. He sees through her armor to the vulnerable little girl she hides from the world. The Daddy Dominant in him craves to shelter her, to make her his own.
Is there any way Shasta will agree to submit to Blake’s Dominance?
Lost & Bound is part of Pandora Spocks’ Dream Dominant Collection, a series of stand-alone novels featuring sexy, Dominant men and the strong, red-haired submissives who find them irresistible. It is a contemporary erotic romance novel with a light BDSM theme, and features a DD/lg relationship. It is intended for mature audiences.
Review: I’ve read everything Pandora Spocks has written and published ever since Luke and Bella. Her work is getting better with each next novel, her style is just as smart and sexy, with a solid dose of romance, adventure, action and sensual kink. She has the ability to create well-rounded, lovable characters of both genders, no matter if they are her protagonists or the secondary players in her stories. The world in which she sets her plots is always well-constructed and with vivid descriptions that allow us to truly get lost in her tale.
One of my favorite BDSM plot lines/situations/themes involves the bratty, arrogant young woman getting knocked down a few pegs and learning more about herself through submission and humility. However, Shasta Pyke, the kickass redhead of the story, a spoiled Hollywood child star and a ‘kitten’ in need of proper taming, turned out to be a lot more than that. She was a merciless tease, not hesitating to use her beauty and charm to her advantage. However, she was also an insecure little girl under her sophisticated ‘armor’ whose strange life of early fame and money left her lost and confused about who she was. The personal drama that pushed her fiery temper and was the reason for Shasta’s brush with the law, the guilt she’s been carrying inside her brought another layer of complexity to her character. Usually, whenever I read an erotic romance with BDSM themes I really hate it when the Dom in the story instantly assumes that the heroine is a submissive. Still, it was done very well in here as it was clear that Shasta could use some guidance and a firm hand that was always missing in her life.
Blake, the bush pilot and ‘mountain’ man, the ‘Daddy’ to her ‘kitten’, has excellent observation skills and powerful intuition. I could buy it that he saw through her act and recognize her vulnerable nature beneath the tough act and flirty starlet attitude. Still, he wasn’t overly arrogant about it and didn’t accept Shasta’s being ‘a natural sub’ as if it was a sure thing. At first, I thought his character would be the ultimate cliché of a macho man living by his own rules. From the very first scene with him, we get to know him as a strong but caring, sensitive soul longing for a very specific kind of connection with the woman by his side. As the blurb stated he was no stranger to tragedy but that didn’t make him cold, hateful or overly cynical. Another thing I really loved was that he and his friend/mentor Scott were regular attendants of BDSM clubs and yet there was none of the usual “I’m using kink play to escape true intimacy and just use women to fill the black hole in me” kind of nonsense. He was a man without commitment issues who was simply exploring his sexuality while looking for his match.
I wasn’t sure how those two would end up together, at times it seemed like an impossible affair. Still, Ms. Spocks worked her magic and made their relationship progress in a really natural way. By the middle of the novel, I was really rooting for Shasta and Blake to stay together. They were completing each other in a perfect way in spite the differences in their lifestyle and proved to be exactly what they needed in spite of the obstacles. Their lovemaking was truly a thing of beauty. Speaking of that, I really loved the sex scenes and the fact that Pandora added more kink and more various play and tools to Shasta and Blake’s scenes. Even if I’m a fan of her writing and enjoyed Luke and Bella I felt that the kink and BDSM themes were way too light. I love her progress in Lost and Bound and how much more adventurous the two characters are. Perhaps the only thing that irked me is the ‘Daddy’ part of the Dom Daddy/Little Girl but that is entirely personal preference. There was nothing even remotely incestuous about their relationship.
I thoroughly enjoyed the book, the emotional and sexual development, the characters, the gorgeous landscapes and the resolution that worked out for the best for everyone involved. If you want a feel good, intelligent and beautifully written story of kink and romance, Pandora Spocks is a great choice. Five Bound Stars.

Be My Guest On Tuesday: Juliette Banks and The Russian Bride
It’s Tuesday and I have another hot upcoming release for you. The wonderful erotic romance writer Rachel de Vine, known also as Juliette Banks, has written a hot BDSM erotic romance entitled the Russian Bride that will go live tomorrow, on March 8th, so get prepared to one click. You can check out Juliette’s Amazon page and get ready with some of her smoking teasers. Meanwhile, you can check out her other titles as Rachel and Juliette.
BLURB:
Natasha, a Russian-born woman living in London, catches the eye of Viktor, a middle-aged Russian gangster. He wants her as his wife, the mother of his son, and his submissive partner in the kinky sex he enjoys at his isolated home near Saint Petersburg. But he doesn’t ask her to accompany him – he just takes what he wants.
Surprisingly, Natasha begins to accept her new life. Is she really a natural submissive, or has Viktor brainwashed her? Viktor is adamant that he will not have sex with her until they are married, but he shows her just how kinky he likes it by taking her to orgies held by his friend, and tells her that this is the type of life she can expect as his wife.
Everything turns sour, however, and on a visit to London, Natasha has to flee for her life – where businessman, James Miller, comes to her aid. Over the course of the next few days, Natasha tells James her story, and as horrified as he is, he cannot deny his attraction to the beautiful young woman. He vows to help her.
Neither of them realize quite how much danger they will be in for defying Viktor, but James is willing to risk everything to rescue her from this man. Can he do it? And does Natasha return his feelings?
Publisher’s Note: This fast-paced tale contains explicit themes including power exchange, capture, multiple sexual partners and discipline. If such material offends, please do not purchase.
TEASER
There was the sound of voices at the door, and Grigory and the minister entered the room. Viktor stepped forward, his hand outstretched.
“Minister, how good to see you again.”
The minister smiled and shook his hand.
“Likewise, Viktor. And I think, under these circumstances, you might call me Mikhail, don’t you think? It’s much more friendly.”
Viktor was all for maintaining friendly connections and readily agreed to first name terms. He turned to Natasha.
“Come here, my dear, and say hello to the minister.”
Natasha walked the two steps to their side and smiled shyly at the minister.
“Good evening, sir.”
“Good evening, Natasha. My, you are looking exceedingly pretty tonight.” He turned to take the shot of vodka that was offered to him, before turning back to her.
“Shall we sit down? You can sit on my knee and we can get to know each other, shall we?” Natasha did as she was told and waited until the minister was comfortable in the large armchair, before sitting down on his lap. As she did so her dress rode up her leg and revealed a stocking top. The minister stroked her leg.
“Ah, I do so love a shapely leg encased in stockings. Have you put these on for my benefit? I do hope so. Have you put them on to tantalise and tease me, young woman. Because if so I might have to spank that bottom of yours for being such a temptress.”
Natasha smiled, tentatively, partly with nerves, and partly because of the tingle she had just felt between her legs. The minister continued talking. He wasn’t really expecting a response from the girl on his lap.
“I would enjoy spanking your little bottom. It looks quite a pert one to me, although I would have to examine it in more detail to be sure. Tell me, Natasha, do you enjoy having your bottom spanked?”
Natasha spoke quietly. “Y…yes, sir, sometimes.”
“Only sometimes. When do you not enjoy it then?”
“When it is too hard, sir.”
“I see. So your Master has to punish you sometimes for being naughty, does he?”
“Y…yes, sir, sometimes.”
“And does he just use his hand when he spanks you?”
“No, sir. Sometimes he uses his belt, or my hairbrush.”
The minister continued to talk to the pretty girl on his lap. Already the talk of spanking had hardened him considerably, and he was looking forward to putting her over his knee. In the meantime, he chatted easily with Viktor, while his hand began massaging Natasha’s breasts through her dress.
“I have been thinking about your business plan, Viktor, and I am pleased to say that I have decided to accept it. I think I can have an agreement drawn up next week, if that is satisfactory for you?”
“Thank you, Mikhail, I’m very pleased to hear that. I think that Natasha will be pleased too, won’t you, my dear.”
Natasha took her cue and spoke softly to the man on whose knee she was sitting. “Would you like to spank me, sir? I would very much like it if you did.”
“Would you like to spank me, sir? I would very much like it if you did.”
“Why, I think I would. Why don’t we get you out of this dress?” He lifted her off his lap and began to lift up her dress from the bottom. Viktor came over to assist.
“Please allow me, Mikhail.” Between them they lifted the dress over Natasha’s head, to leave her standing in her new and very sexy underwear.
“My, that is a very appealing sight. Why don’t you walk a few feet over there and then walk back, so that I can appreciate it properly.” She did as he asked. As she returned, he held out his arms and pulled her between his legs, and ran the palm of his hands down from her bottom to the back of her knees. He looked her directly in the eye, and Natasha could see the naked lust reflected back at her. He placed both hands on her buttocks and squeezed a handful of flesh with each one.
“Why don’t you lie over my lap, Natasha, so I can get a better look at you.”
She leaned obediently across his lap, her feet just touching the floor on one side, but not quite able to reach the floor with her hands. The minister let out a sigh as he anticipated the pleasure to come. Lifting his right hand, and pressing his left into the small of her back, he began to spank her bare cheeks, softly at first, but then with increased vigour. A look of pleasure came over his face. He had clearly been looking forward to this evening.
TEASER
His breath was hot against the back of her neck, as he stood as close as he could without actually touching her. He ran his finger lightly across her naked shoulder and up her arm that was suspended above her body and it made her shiver. Her skin was damp with sweat, even though the room was not excessively hot. But he was not done with her yet. He whispered into her ear.
“Now, as I promised you my darling, I will use the strap before I fuck you. It is a while since you felt the licks of a leather strap, isn’t it?”
Her reply was also in a whisper, as though she was afraid to break the spell between them.
“Yes, Sir. It’s been a long time.”
He stepped away from her and she heard the familiar sound of the strap as it whistled through the air in a practice stroke. He had warmed her with the flogger on her back and buttocks, but she knew that the strap would be more severe. Nevertheless, she craved the feeling as it whistled down and thrashed across her buttocks, the sting of the immediate pain soon turning to pleasure as she absorbed what he administered with great skill. He knew exactly what she needed, exactly how far to take her. She always craved the intense pleasure she got from him, the man who had made her live again, the man who had helped her to love again, the man who had made her feel again.
“I think ten with the strap, precious, don’t you? That should warm you up nicely.”
“Yes, Sir. I think that ten would be good.”
He began.

Promotional Post: Emmanuelle de Maupassant and Highland Pursuits
Emmanuelle de Maupassant just released a charming book and I thought you should meet her and her work.
Emmanuelle de Maupassant is thrilled to announce the launch of her saucy 1920s romance romp: ‘Highland Pursuits’.
In celebration, Emmanuelle is not only offering three signed paperback copies, via Goodreads here, but has her entire catalogue on sale for 99c/99p from March 1st-8th: Baby Love, Scarlet, Cautionary Tales and Gentlemen’s Club (as recommended by Stylist Magazine).
What readers are saying
I can’t tell you how much I love this book. It was a true delight to read. The author has captured 1920s Britain wonderfully, and her detail is exquisite. – Rachel De Vine
As a comedy of manners, this is exceptionally well done. – Fionna Guillaume
Highland Pursuits is a wry, clever, incredibly sexy romp… a completely engrossing, utterly enjoyable read. I can’t recommend it highly enough…fabulously fun – Malin James
The scene was set beautifully… I felt like I went back in time to high society Scotland – Christine of Sweet and Spicy Reads
Emmanuelle sends enormous thanks to her editor, Adrea Kore, for her help in bringing ‘Highland Pursuits’ into the world. She says: ‘Adrea is an incredibly talented writer, and a wonderful friend. Her editing skills helped bring the words alive. She is a marvel and I’m so glad that one day, forever ago, we found each other.’
‘Highland Pursuits’ draws inspiration from a short story of the same title Emmanuelle wrote originally for the charity fundraising anthology Because Beards: all proceeds have been given to the Movember Foundation.
This longer, novella, length offers more scope to explore the wonderful characters’ eye-popping shenanigans. Hamish and Ophelia were in Emmanuelle’s dreams for many weeks, as she wrote this story.
Pssst… if you enjoy Highland Pursuits, don’t forget to leave a review. Reviews make books more visible online, bringing new eyes. If you’re on Twitter or Facebook, tag Emmanuelle in your review post and she’ll say hello.
