Sex Sells - A Sneak Peek At The Last Taboo

We’ve written about hot Doms in their dungeons, double penetration by well-endowed aliens, menages with twin cowboys, rectal exams by stern doctors, dressing up as little girls and getting our bare bottoms spanked - in short, doing kinky sexual things to every conceivable bodily part with a variety of partners and playthings. But there's one topic that up till now has been off-limits in most blogs about erotic romance.

                              Money.  There.  I've said it and I feel so much better.

This year I'm kicking off a new weekly series about the business we're all in - the business of writing erotic romance novels.  If you don't consider the hours you spend hunched over a keyboard as running your own business, it's time to rethink what you're doing.

You may say you write for fun, or for self-gratification, or because you just "have to put all those stories in your head on paper."  Okay.  Then send me your royalties and advance checks and I'll believe you.  Otherwise admit that the money you make is important.  Even if it's only a pittance, it's YOUR pittance. That first check for a new book is a cause for celebration, whether it buys you a Porche or a pizza.

But as someone who has owned and operated five small businesses before I began writing full time, I'm going to tell you one simple secret  - it's not just how much you make, it's how much you keep.

Of course, if you don't make much right now, that may not sound like a shocking revelation.  We're all financial virgins when we start out.  But I got very good at figuring out how to keep as much as possible of what I earned when I married a successful salesman and we started our first business together.  We had an accountant who took care of us.  At least that's what I thought.  When he presented me with a tax bill bigger than my total income the year before I got married, well...that's when Uncle Sam popped my fiscal cherry!

Every Wednesday we'll explore a new topic.  Together with guest bloggers I'll share ideas that will drive your sales higher, hot new trends in the market, which social media platforms REALLY work - and how to keep more of those Benjamins in your pocket.  He may not look very hot in that picture, but he sure can bring you a lot of satisfaction!  

Here are some upcoming posts:

Longer Isn’t Always Better  - Get your mind out of the gutter!  It's about book length 

Have You Hit the Dirty Thirty Yet? - Is there a "secret formula" for success? 

It’s All About That Base - How to build a team of super fans

            

Self-Gratification – Is it time to consider indie publishing?

Never Kill A Puppy - Writing rules and when to break them

       

How Much Money Do Romance Writers REALLY Make -Oooh, this one gets me hot!

I hope you'll join me January 7th for the kickoff. 

         

A Secret Spanko Revealed - Rayanna Jamison on Patty Devlin, I Love Lucy and The Bishop's First Bride

Today I'm welcoming Rayanna Jamison to share a bit about herself, why she wants to dress up as Lucy Ricardo, and her hot new spanking romance The Bishop's First Bride.

Kallista: Before we get into the book, please answer this terribly insightful question I ask all my guests to give me a glimpse into the woman behind the words. If you were wearing a Halloween costume, what would it be?

Rayanna: I would love to go as Lucy from I love Lucy. She’s a redhead, and I love the classic 50’s style. I feel like it would be secretly be paying homage to my spanko tendencies.

Kallista: Secret spanko tendencies, huh?  Now you know why I consider it a terribly insightful question.  Look what a naughty thing I got you to reveal! Be careful.  The next one is a trick question.  If you had to choose, which writer would you consider a mentor?

Rayanna: That’s an easy one. Patty Devlin.

Kallista: Okay, you didn't say me, but Patty is a great answer. She's a dear friend and she's been a mentor to so many of us. Now please tell us a bit about your new book:

Rosa Collins was only sixteen when she received a vision telling her of her future husband. Knowing that her husband would be Lucas, the Bishop's son, and future Bishop of Green Valley, both thrilled and terrified her. They were a match made in heaven, she knew, perfect for each other.

But becoming the Bishop's Wife is harder than Rosa anticipated. She struggles to transform herself into the perfect Bishop's Wife that her husband needs.

Lucas misses the real Rosa. Somewhere between getting married, and becoming the future Bishop's wife, his beloved wife has lost part of herself. Lucas knows that a good, old fashioned spanking is exactly what Rosa needs to help her find balance in her unrealistic expectations of what the perfect wife should be.

But, try as he might, that balance doesn't come easily for Rosa, and it certainly didn't help that her high school nemesis kept popping up and making trouble.

Will Lucas help her realize that all he wants is for his wife to be happy? Can Rosa pull herself together enough to become the Bishop's First Wife?

Here's a little snippet:

He crossed to the bed and sat, calling her over to stand before him.

“Are you ready?”

Rosa nodded shyly, and he saw no sense in drawing it out. He positioned her over one knee, so that her top half was on the bed, and her legs were not. With one swift flick of his wrist, her panties were around her knees and her cute little bottom was right where he wanted it.

He rubbed her white flesh, thinking that it wouldn’t be white for long as he intended to make this a well and thorough spanking.

“Why did you ask me to spank you, Rosa?” he asked, and she looked back at him surprised. He guessed she wasn’t expecting to be having a conversation in this position, but Lucas knew it would be the first of many they would have like this. In his opinion, it was one of the best ways to have a conversation.

“I’m waiting,” He told her with a sharp slap to her right bottom cheek.

“Ow, Ow, Okay, Um…Because I felt like I should be punished for spending a lot of money without asking you-even though it wasn’t a rule!” He spanked again just as she got to the end of her explanation, and she shrieked the last part.

He brought his hand down hard twice in rapid succession, and smiled in satisfaction as he watched a pink handprint color her creamy skin.

“And, why did you think you should be punished for something that wasn’t a rule?” He rubbed the skin where the handprint rose up, marveling at how warm it already was after just a few swats. It would be getting much, much warmer before they finished.

“Because I was inconsiderate, and I caused you embarrassment, and I hate disappointing you.”  Rosa mumbled into the bedcovers.

“That’s’ right. That’s why we are going to be making it a rule. So that this does not happen in the future. If it does, there will be clear consequences.” He began to spank again, raining down blows across her fleshy bottom crease. He kept an even tempo, with no regular pattern until he heard her begin to weep softly. He knew it was more from emotion than pain at this point, but it meant she was getting the release she needed.

He paused, and began to speak, occasionally punctuating his words with a sharp swat across the top of her thighs, causing her to gasp in pain.

Aargh! Patricia Green Says Stay Away From Pirated Books Or You May Catch A Nasty Virus

Today I have the pleasure of hosting Patricia Green, bestselling author of the hottest, most exciting erotic romances you'll ever read.  She's here to explain why the great bargains on those pirated book sites may give your computer a CTD (That's cyber-transmitted disease - my own acronym for a computer virus you can catch reading unprotected sex stories!)  

But first, let's hear a little about her newest release - Rescued By The Spy

A spy working for the Solarian Federation...Michael O'Malley is undercover in a sting operation against Jerold Laricon, a man with Machiavellian social restructuring schemes and a desire for world domination.

Kidnapped and kept as a sex slave...Could there be a worse time for Nina Stanley, O’Malley’s old flame, to show up in Ligeia as a kidnap victim? Sure, he wants to save her, but his job is to crush Laricon's slave trade and vicious rise to power.

The young and beautiful "spare"...Muddying the waters is Michael’s need to fit in and partake of the succulent fruits on Laricon’s human slave tree--including Alyssa, a willing sex slave he's forced to take as his own. Now he has two women counting on him, and the fate of a world.

Nina's goal is to get out...No matter what it takes. Nina is appalled by what she experiences in Ligeia at the hands of the evil Laricon, but what if the price of her freedom is Michael's life? Can she live with herself if that happens?

Can an undercover spy save the women he loves without blowing his cover? SF Erotic Romance

Kallista: Tell us about those pirated book sites that sound like such a great deal.

Patricia: Never buy a book from a resource other than the main online distributors. If the site is a pass-through site (taking you to Amazon or Barnes & Noble, All Romance eBooks, the original publisher's site, or another big distributor), then it's okay. But if the site is giving away the book for free off their servers, or they're charging a ridiculously low price that's different from Amazon and will be downloaded from non-Amazon servers, you've landed on a pirate site. 

These pirates are thieves. They buy or somehow obtain a PDF copy of a writer's book and then re-sell it or give it away for free. This might sound like a real deal to the average reader, but when you consider the amazing viruses attached to these pirated books, it isn't so appealing. Plus, the books are stolen. There is no pretty word to attach to it. It's theft. If you partake of these offerings, you are just as much a thief as the pirate.

Please don't obtain books illegally. All writers copyright their work, and that does not give anyone else the right to copy the book without written permission. You are taking money right out of an author's pocket. How would you feel if someone walked up to you and reached into your purse to take out a dollar bill. Sure, you might have other dollar bills, but that thief would tell other thieves, and soon all your dollar bills would be going out faster than coming in. That's what happens to authors when they're pirated.

Kallista:  I never knew those pirated books might carry viruses!  Sounds like Karma at work to me.  Here's a safe, legal snippet for everyone from your latest release -

Suddenly, the open door to the outer chamber was filled with Jerold Laricon, himself. The women quickly scuffed back their chairs, opened their bodices to expose their breasts, and prostrated themselves on the floor. Nina viewed this with a gimlet eye, and instead, stood up and faced him. He took in the scene before him with a benevolent expression, walking softly to Nina.

“You have not been trained yet, I know,” he said. “So I will take a moment to instruct you myself.” 

He looked her over then reached for the front of her robe. “These catches,” he said, pulling them apart, “are meant to open quickly so that you may bare yourself and show the proper subservience to free males—all free males.” He gazed hotly at her full breasts. “Any free 

male you encounter will expect you to reverence him so.” 

His hands slid over her breasts and cupped them. “However, you are my property. Is that clear?”

She nodded, her flesh squirming. “Yes, sir.”

He smiled, his yellow, crooked teeth showing. “And once those pretty tits are bared, you are to get down on your knees and lower your eyes. You will not seek the eyes of any free man, nor look at him unless you are spoken to. Is that also clear?”

Nina’s teeth ground together as she considered the debasing ritual. “Yes, sir.”

“I can see in your eyes that you consider it humiliating for women to respond to men this way.” His hands continued caressing her breasts, her nipples rising against his palms despite her loathing. “But women have risen above their station over the last millennia, and here in Ligeia, we are doing our best to correct that sociological error. I assure you the women are much happier, knowing their place. And, eventually, you will enjoy humbling yourself before me.” 

He took her chin in hand and forced her to look up at him. “Now, get down on your knees, press your pretty nipples to the floor, and kiss my boots.”

Nina swore at him in her mind, growled softly to show her displeasure, but obeyed. The hard, cold marble of the floor against her nipples brought a chilly determination to her heart. She stayed down after kissing his black hide boots, afraid her expression would betray more fury than he would allow.

“Well done,” he proclaimed. “Ladies.” 

He turned and left, as the women—except for Nina—exclaimed, “Hail Ligeia!” in his wake.

Appetite lost, Nina closed her robe, got back into her chair, and somehow made it through the meal in silence. The man hadn’t even bothered to remember her name.

Abbie Adams - Age Play With A Little Twist

Today I'm chatting with a "little" who looks sweet but has a VERY naughty side, as anyone who has read her Little books knows. I had the pleasure of meeting Abbie Adams a few months ago and I can tell you first-hand that she probably deserves every spanking she gets!

Kallista:  Tell me, Abbie, what do you like to do when you’re not writing?

Abbie: Eat Oreos and read in a bubble bath.

Kallista:  If you were five what would you be reading?

Abbie: Junie B. Jones! I love that series. Wait - can normal five year olds read those? Ok, hang on...I’m thinking it would have to be a Dr. Seuss.  Are you my Mother, Red Fish Blue Fish. Oh but I really like If you give a Moose a Muffin. Dang, can I pick more than one?  (twirls her hair and fidgets on the seat)  Are we done yet?
  
Kallista:  Junie B. is still one of my favorites too.  And no, we're not done.  You have to tell us about your new "little" book for big girls first.

Abbie: (Sighs dramatically)  Oh, all right.  Emily and I wrote it together.  It's called A Little Twist.

     Six months of training. Six months to find a placement. Three years with a Daddy. Fifty thousand dollars. Some girls begged to get into the program, but not Sara or Caity. They took the "alternative program for non-violent offenders" when the State of New York's Women's Facility was full. They became little girls in Trace's program.

     Sara was placed with a daddy named Mark when Livvy, another little girl in the program, had gotten sick because of Sara's jealousy. Now, after two long months in the program, Sara has to get used to a whole new set of rules and the man who will enforce them: her Daddy will dominate her and take care of her in a special way no one ever has before. The witness protection program can't compare to her "protector".

     Caity has been the unwanted child all her life. Her father hates her and her mother ran away years before. The only family she really has is her sister, who isn't in the program, yet. But Caity didn't choose her new Daddy... Will he be able to prove his love, or will he prove he is just like her real father?

     Did Sara and Caity make the right choice, coming to the program instead of the State Penitentiary? Can they get along when Sara has taken the man Caity wanted all along? Emily Tilton and Abbie Adams team up to bring you the much requested story of the "other girls" in this, the third book in the 'A Little Training' and 'A Little Trouble' series

Here's a peek at what's inside:

     Daddy pulled her onto his lap. "Want to tell me what's bothering you?" He cupped her chin in his hand and tipped her face to his. "Hmm? Are you upset that Sara is here?"

     She sat up straight and tried to jerk away. "No! Why would I be worried about her?" His grip on her jaw was firm, and she couldn't get away from his intense scrutiny. "I was hoping to go back to the river today, but now I'm worried you will be too busy, is all."

     "We'll see about it. Now, I want you to be a good girl. You will won't you?" He held her hand as he stood them both up and led her out the door.

     She nodded instead of speaking, unaware she was actually holding her breath. Sara sat there on the couch, stiffly facing away as if nervous.

     Caity went right by without a word to her.  She pretended to be hungry and preoccupied, but a huge rock sat in her tummy, and the soft scrambled eggs on her plate did not allure her. She had to fight herself not to look behind her again; she wanted to watch Sara, to see if she could read her, tell anything about her thoughts.  She met Livvy's eyes when she finally came in and sat across the table. Caity would've thought Livvy was unaffected by Sara's presence, if not for the way her hand shook as she drew her juice to her lips.

     "Is Daddy here?" Livvy asked Uncle Jeremy softly, when he set her plate down.

     "Yes, he's in the office. Why is everyone so quiet this morning?" He looked around the table with a curious face, one eyebrow arched higher than the other. "Is something going on I don't know about?"

     "Sara," Uncle Matt said, while reaching for more sausage links. It almost came out like a cough, and Caity wondered if he was uncomfortable with her arrival as well.

     "She's already eaten," Daddy replied as he sat down next to Caity, then clarified, "Sara has already eaten."

     "Why is she here?" Caity mumbled, then shrunk a little when Daddy gave her a look.

     "She is here because her daddy has to work and every one of you will be nice to her and behave as you would like to be treated if you were in her place. And now that you have all been warned, there will be severe consequences if you young ladies are of a mind to disobey in this regard. Do you understand me?" He eyed each of the girls around the table, one at a time, until they all agreed.

Warning to Corbin's Bend! Chemistry Causes Spanking

     It's my pleasure to have Thianna D with me today, the creator of the best-selling series Corbin's Bend. She'll be introducing the newest residents of this Colorado spanking community from her latest release Chemistry of Attraction.  It's so hot that it's guaranteed to melt any early winter snow that touches your Kindle!


Kallista:   A book about chemistry!  Are you like one of those geniuses on The Big Bang Theory?  Can you let us in on the top-secret formula you used to create the Chemistry of Attraction, Thianna?

Thianna:  Take one hot summer. Add in an intellectual chemist and a dominant retired Marine. Once the chemistry ignites, combustion is soon to follow.

Kallista:  Sounds like a lot more fun than the chemistry I used to study. Tell us more.

Thianna:  Retired Marine Brandon Delt, moves to Corbin’s Bend after his recently divorced wife marries his cousin. Tired of living a non-discipline lifestyle, he fully welcomes the openness of the Corbin’s Bend spanking community. One day he hopes to meet the woman he could make his TiH. He doesn’t expect to meet her on day one.

     Carodine Minor’s just in Corbin’s Bend for the summer. Just graduated with her master’s degree in chemistry, Dina isn’t sure of her next step in life. Not once has she ever considered being spanked. Logical woman that she is, when she finds herself intrigued by the idea of a hand across her derriere, she asks for a demonstration from Brandon. One demo turns into a wild night of  passion neither wants to let go of.

Kallista:  Dina sounds like a lucky woman.  Like her, I'm a sucker for a man in uniform!  Now let's move on to what I'm sure our readers are dying to know...Thianna D's most shameful secrets.   Have you ever...gone cow tipping?

Thianna:  You know, I’ve never understood the desire to go cow-tipping. It’s harmful to the poor animals.

Their stomachs can get twisted up, plus, just imagine how you would feel if you were asleep and  someone knocked you over. I grew up in a small town and knew of people that did it. I didn’t understand it then. I understand it even less now.

Kallista:  (Sighs heavily)  How disappointing!  No scandal here.  Can you give us a little peek at Chemistry of Attraction?

     There was a momentary silence and then one of his hands rested on her lower back and the other lifted. Slap! His hand came down harder than this afternoon, heat sizzling in its wake. Before she even felt the warmth that bloomed from it, he hit her other cheek. Back and forth he went, covering her entire derriere with hard slaps until her entire rear end felt like a light sunburn.
     But she didn’t care. Each smack of his hand lit up something inside of her, something primal, raw, animalistic. Arching her back, she growled softly when his hand slammed right between her cheeks. Each slap produced its own sound, but she barely heard them, her left brain utterly fascinated by the sounds coming out of her own mouth. 
     When his hand came down on that sensitive crease between buttocks and thighs, her logical brain blanked out. What remained was wanton, needy, and craving everything the man at her side could give her.
     “More!” she cried out as he hit her sit spot again. Her entire body felt like a coiled spring and she so wanted to be sprung. All she needed was just a few more. Just a few more. Please, just a few more.
     Brandon had other plans. “Spread your legs,” he commanded and she rushed to obey, not wanting him to stop. “Fuck, you’re so wet, beauty,” he murmured, the fingers of his spanking hand drifting between her legs, stroking along her clit and delving into her core.
     “More,” she whimpered as those wonderfully strong, large fingers began to fuck her, rubbing against something that made her arch more and let out a low keen. So close. She was so close. It wouldn’t take much more to send her over. Damn, he—
     Smack!
     As his hand that had been on her lower back came down right on her rump, the world exploded.  Lights burst in front of her eyes even as her cunt spasmed and she opened her mouth in a silent scream. Her muscles clenched and squeezed, pulling her through the roughest orgasm she had ever felt.
     And it wasn’t over yet.

                                                     Buy Chemistry of Attraction

                                         
Kallista:  That's SO much hotter than the chemistry books I used to read!  Thanks for stopping by, Thianna.

Here's a bit about Thianna - 

     Thianna D. likes to say she’s eclectic, fun, and just a bit naughty.  She writes erotica and erotic romance with both M/F and M/M main characters. No matter what she writes, all the hot scenes support the story instead of the other way around.

     She’s also the creator of and acquisition editor for the Corbin’s Bend spanking romance series. Who else wants to be safe, secure, and spanked in Colorado?

Did Maddie Taylor Earn an A+ From Her Professor - or Did He Give Her a Big F? Lanie's Lessons by Maddie Taylor

I have the pleasure of roasting - I mean hosting - erotic romance author Maddie Taylor today.  She's in The Hot Seat to spill all her naughty secrets and share a bit about her latest best-selling novel Lanie's Lessons.

Kallista:  Maddie, I like to start out with forcing you to confess just one of what I'm sure is a long list of kinky things you do when you're not writing hot sex scenes.

Maddie:  (Looking uncomfortable)  Um… We have a toy chest.  You will find I use items other than spanking implements quite often in my contemporary stories.  I’ll let you wonder which ones I have tested out personally.  Enough said…

Kallista:  Hmmm.  (Pulls out notebook) As a professional interviewer, I'm going to need details.  Are you actually writing while you're testing them out?  Is that why your books are so hot?  Also, you''ll have to provide the buy links for your favorites when we're finished - purely for my research purposes.  Now - on to the next shameful revelation. If you could run away with one of your male heroes, which one would it be?  And why him?

Maddie:  I fall in love with all of my heroes, but I have to say my heart belongs to Tony Rossi from Captain My Captain.  Although he can be very intense and quite strict, he is also very loving, protective of his woman, kicks ass first and asks questions later (with the bad guys), and is totally HOT!  However, I am no masochist like Megan, and if he came at me with a paddle or cane I’d safeword, I know I would.  He was my first hero and will always hold a special place in my heart.  He also has a military officer bearing (stern, no-nonsense and authoritative), which leaves me tongue-tied and drooling. Oh, and did I say he was hot??? Tall, dark, handsome and Italian… YUM!

Kallista:  YUM indeed!  I love Italian too.  Especially the Chicken Alfredo at Olive Garden.  But I digress. Shouldn't have scheduled this interview just before lunch.  Next question - how many books have you written?

Maddie:  Unbelievably, I’m up to fifteen published books and three have been included in boxed sets.  I have another one in editing that I hope to have out by the end of the year.

Kallista:  You must be really good at typing one-handed!  How long does it usually take you to write a book?

Maddie:  Depends.  The spirit of creativity (and naughtiness) has to moves me.  When it does, they roll off my fingers.  I wrote Everything Christmas in 3 weeks, although it is a novella, it seemed effortless.  Other times I’ll stop and start, take a break and then come back to it later, at times much, much later.  I started Unbind My Heart, Club Decadence book 4 in the fall of 2013 and it wasn’t published until July ’14.  I work full time so I can’t crank them out, as some of the more prolific authors, but 15 in 18 months is pretty good, I think.  However, it’s never fast enough for my readers and me.

Kallista:  Personally I prefer it slow, but to each her own.  Can you give us a hint about what you’re working on for your next release?

Maddie:  I’ll give you more than a hint.

Kallista:  Oooh, you little slut!

Maddie:  My sequel to Marshal’s Law is written and currently in the editing/beta process so, it should be soon.  The tentative title is Western Justice, although I’m still mulling it over.  Like the first in the Silverbend Series, it is a western historical erotic romance set in Wyoming 1878.  This story is about Heath, the oldest Jackson brother, and features many of the characters from the first book.  The third brother’s story will follow sometime next year.

Kallista:  We'll be waiting for both of them.  Meanwhile, Lanie's Lessons is out now and your fans can read it as fast as they want.  How about giving us a little peek?

Maddie:  In this scene, Ethan has a surprise for Lanie. In the guise of stern Professsor Fischer, he selects her outfit and orders her to present herself in his classroom for a much needed lesson in deportment.   Enjoy…



“Bend over the desk.”

On shaky legs, she stepped forward grateful for the support of the sturdy surface and the coolness of the wood against her heated skin.  Positioning her head so she could see him, her eyes followed as he moved behind the desk. 

Intensely aware of his every movement, Lanie gasped as her focus centered on his mouth as he sucked her juices from his sodden fingers. She moaned uncontrollably wishing he was drinking directly from the source. 

He glanced up at the soft sound, slowly sliding his fingers out of his mouth. But he wasn’t finished. Once free, he spread his two fingers and lapped up what was left with a long glide of his tongue, from tip to tip and along the dip between.

“You’re killing me, Ethan.”

“Shh, no talking during lessons. And it’s Professor Fischer or sir to you, Miss Langston. You won’t die from delayed gratification, no one ever has to my knowledge.”


“I just might be the first, sir.”



Attorney Lanie Fischer is a force to be reckoned with in the courtroom, but the stress of her caseload has been mounting relentlessly. She puts on a brave face at work, but behind closed doors Lanie has become an emotional wreck, and her husband, law professor Ethan Fischer, is tired of watching her self-destruct. She’s not sleeping, she’s lost weight, and their sex life is starting to suffer.  Something has to give, and as far as he is concerned,it is time for a radical new approach.

From now on, Ethan decides, his wife will be spending quite a bit of quality time over his knee with her bottom bare, learning some lessons she has needed for a long time.

Some of Lanie’s spankings turn out to be purely erotic, ending with the hottest sex she and Ethan have ever had, but others are meant to teach her what happens when naughty wives disobey their husbands and fail to take care of themselves. Unconventional though it may be, to her surprise Lanie soon begins to crave both her husband’s sexier spankings and his discipline as well.

But can she live happily as a loving wife and obedient submissive at home even as she battles in court at work every day, or will the conflicting demands tear her apart?

Publisher’s Note: Lanie’s Lessons is an erotic romance novel that contains spankings, sexual scenes, elements of medical play and BDSM, anal play, and more. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book.

Bared by the Billionaire - Sex/Tech Hits Amazon's Top 100 BDSM LIst

       Thank you to everyone who sent my latest BDSM novel Bared by the Billionaire to Amazon's Top 100 BDSM List!  Kyra's introduction to the dark, erotic world of BDSM included using wild sex toys created just for her by the brilliant scientist/inventor Jake Harmon.  It was so much fun to write.

I thought I had loads of great new ideas for sex tech, but as I researched the subject, I found out a whole lot of the inventions I dreamed up already exist!  By the way, having an excuse to spend time looking up hot new sex toys on the Internet is one of the things I love best about writing erotic romance novels.

Here's a little peek:

“Take off the rest of your clothes.”

Her cheeks flushed but she did as she was told, trembling a little, eyes downcast the entire time. She dropped the bra and her hands moved to the nipple rings.

“Not those,” he said.

He saw the look of dismay on her face, but she never protested. She bent forward to unhook the garters. Slipping off her shoes and balancing on one foot, then the other, she peeled the stockings off. Finally she reached behind her and unhooked the lace garter belt, letting it fall to the floor. He let her stand there for a moment under the bright lights of the lab, naked, and just stared. Her body was beautiful. Full, lush breasts, narrow waist, hips that flared out.

“Come here and lie across my lap.” As she walked toward him, the portions of her brain that registered fear and anxiety responded strongly. But so did the center for arousal. She put one knee on the sofa, awkwardly supporting her weight with her hands as she draped herself across his lap.

Her body was warm and soft and when she let her full weight rest on him, he felt his own body respond. Without thinking, he stroked her bare ass and ground himself up against her, just a little. Harmon didn’t need a machine to tell the instant she felt his cock pressing up, hard and ready. Her sharp intake of breath did that.

Grabbing her wrists with one hand and holding them out in front of her, he smacked her bottom sharply with the flat of his palm. The computer screen exploded in lights. He started spanking her steadily, firm but not too hard at first, watching with clinical detachment as her lovely bottom turned pink.

He spanked harder and it took on a darker shade of red. As it did, her pain centers on the monitor glowed brighter and brighter. Her fingers dug into the fabric of the sofa but she never moved or made a sound.

He wanted more, wanted to see what she’d do once he broke her tight control. He shifted his legs a little and spanked her slowly, sensuously, rubbing the hard bulge in his pants back and forth across her wet slit with every whack. A soft moan escaped her lips. The sensors recorded a huge spike in endorphins. The pleasure centers of her brain were sending off fireworks. Harmon smiled to himself.

“Get down on your knees in front of me,” he demanded, letting go of her wrists.

Kyra Thornton is in serious trouble. Her former boss has disappeared after stealing every dime from the company' trust account and framing her for the theft, so when the FBI offers her a way to prove her innocence and escape prosecution, she hesitantly agrees. All she has to do is go undercover, take a job working for billionaire technology entrepreneur Jake Harmon, and find evidence to prove the FBI’s claims that he masterminded the crime.

There's just one catch: Jake is a Dom, and he’s looking for someone who can be both a financial officer for his company and the perfect sub for him. Kyra has never been a sub—but under the circumstances she is left with little choice, and she soon finds herself stripped bare and on her knees awaiting Jake’s every command.

To make matters worse, her new master quickly proves more than ready to punish any disobedience with a long, hard, deeply humiliating spanking.But to Kyra’s shock, Jake’s firm-handed dominance and skillful mastery of her body leaves her not only blushing with shame and aroused far beyond anything she's ever experienced, it also leaves her yearning for more.

It isn't long before she feels a growing need to submit both her body and her heart to the dark, mysterious billionaire. But when the time comes to fulfill the bargain that kept her out of prison, can she trust Jake to protect her, or will she cast aside her new-found love to save herself?
