“You’ll get to come,” I tell her, unable to keep the wicked glee out of my voice. 

Josephine opens her eyes wide, lifting her head to look at me. “But…?” 

“Baby, you’ll see. Give me your right hand.” 

It takes no time to place a single-column tie around her right wrist with the paracord. I wrap carefully to make sure it won’t tighten and cut off her circulation when she tugs on it—because I plan to make her tug on it enthusiastically and with desperation.

Then I guide her hand toward her clit. Josephine tries to close the distance all the way, but I stop her just short. “Stay there and don’t move.” 

She moans a protest, but I’m already finishing the tie, running the paracord from her wrist up to the barbell attached to her right nipple. The cord is thin enough that I can loop it around the balls at either side of the barbell and trust it to stay in place. 

Josephine gasps, and I think she’s figured out what I’m going to have her do. 

I tug gently to test my handiwork, then pull my hands back. “Okay, sweetie. Now you can touch your clit.” 

Her eagerness to obey belies the whining sound she makes. Josephine extends her hand toward her clit, and the gesture pulls the paracord taut, just as I intended it to. She can’t reach her clit without pulling the barbell attached to her nipple. 

I watch in fascination as she experiments, learning the limits of the tie. I can see by her winces and gasps that rubbing her clit requires stretching her nipple far enough to hurt, but the fervor of her continued attempts make it equally clear that the pain is stoking her arousal.

     “Honey, what’s the old wooden chair doing in the living room?” Joel asked, rubbing his sore feet. The baseball game was on, and he was really looking forward to relaxing.

“Long day?” Charlene asked.

Joel gave her a brief kiss. 

“Long’s an understatement,” he sighed. “Ever since my promotion, I’ve been working through lunch.”

      “Well Mr. Director of Marketing, the paycheck’s certainly better.”

      “I know that’s right,” Joel agreed, returning his attention back to the television.

      “What is that old thing doing in there? I thought we sold that sucker on Craigslist a long time ago?”

      His wife smiled and said, 

“I can tie better knots in that chair.”

      “Knots?”

      “Yeah, knots.” Joel closed his eyes as their lips again met.

      “Why would you want to tie knots in the chair?” he asked when his wife pulled away.

      “Because we’re going to take your clothes off, and I’m going to tie you up.”

      “Um…on that?” 

      “Yup,” she replied. “I want to give you a special show to celebrate your recent promotion.”

      “What kind of show?” He was a little curious since it had been a while since they had done anything wild and crazy.

      “You’ll see.” She winked, then removed his tie.

      “This would make a good blindfold,” she said, examining the silk fabric. “However, later tonight, now I’m going to need your full attention.”

      Joel unbuttoned his shirt as his wife pulled his pants and boxers around his ankles, then led him to the living room where she instructed him to sit. She left briefly, then returned with a few pieces of rope.

      “You’re really going to tie me up?”

      “That’s the plan, darling. Now sit down and be still.” Once he complied, Charlene bound his ankles.

      “Put your arms on the arms.”

      “Arms on the arms?” Joel laughed.     

Charlene chuckled. 

“Just do it, babe.”

      Joel did as instructed. Charlene went to work, securing his wrists, forearms and elbows.

      “Comfy?” 

      “As comfy as a man tied naked to a chair can be.” 

She had done a fantastic job with the rope. He couldn’t move his arms or ankles.

      “Did you learn these knots in the Navy?” 

      Charlene nodded, then chuckled. 

“That chair looks like it could get a little wobbly. Try not to get too excited.”

      “I’ll try,” he said. “But a lot depends on what you have in store.”

      She winked. 

“You’ll see.”

      Joel looked down at his semi-hard cock, which seemed to share his curiosity.  

    “I’m going to leave you alone a sec,” she said, sashaying from the room.

      As Charlene made her way up the stairs, Joel looked around for possible hints. He briefly considered some sort of striptease, but that would be too obvious. His wife was anything but cliché. 

      Joel tested the ropes again, but could only move his knees and thighs. When he tried to lift his ass, he only rose a few inches from the seat. 

      He looked up at the clock–it was just after seven. The Red Sox were on at eight.

      Moments later, Charlene returned naked–her long, blonde hair falling over her small, lovely breasts. 

      “Wow,” he said, staring at her crotch. “I see you mowed the lawn.”

      “I had a little help,” she purred.

      “Um…what?”

Masturbation Monday No. 30

When she saw Gavin in the aisle, her heart raced as usual. Nichy stood in the doorframe, and she felt that same urge she always felt. A desire to caress a particular curve of her clit. Every time she saw him in the office, she felt that way. 

She had made contact with him, he acknowledged her with a small nod and she smiled softly to acknowledge him. When she returned to her desk she was a stiff mess, her body so rigid and the desire to caress just that small part of herself aflame. 

But Nichy wouldn’t, she did not even allow herself to have fantasies about him, because it was a meager replacement to actually being with him. And how could she imagine him, she had never been with him. She had not memorized his scent, or felt the heat of his body along hers. 

Squeezing her eyes tight, she opened them and could still see him: his strong jaw prominent with a smile, his white teeth and the sparkle in his eyes. 

Nichy felt her hand between her thighs. Even though her hand was not in a provocative position there, she turned around to make sure that no one was looking at her. She got up, picked up her phone and went to go out for coffee. 

Her lust had passed as it always did. 

When she walked to the elevator, she pressed back against the wall. Just as the door was about to close, she looked up with annoyance at the newcomer when she realized it was Gavin.

“Sorry, but it is coffee time!” he said.

She laughed more from nerves than anything else.

“Lucky it was someone I knew, or I would have been pissed!” she said standing up straight.

“Going to get coffee?”

“It’s coffee time, you just declared it!”

They continued small talk, and then she headed to the coffee shop in their lobby. Gavin held the door open, and gestured for her to walk in.

“I’ll buy you a cup,” he said.

She was memorizing scent of warmth and subtle cologne, from their proximity. A soft musk.

“Awww, you don’t have to…”

“Well, actually, I have a free one…”

He grinned at her and she could feel the heat coming from his body, like heat rose from the sidewalks in the summer.

“You’re sweet sharing your free one, thank you.”

“Well for not being pissed with me for the elevator thing.”

She shook her head and grinned.

They ordered, and Gavin once again was gallant and opened the door for her when they left.

In the elevator with him again, she memorized his warmth.

“We have a proposal to get out, going to maybe need a third one of these if it gets really late,” he said looking at her.

“I have a project too, but if I drink another coffee I will be up all night!”

“You’ll probably see me flying your section by if I have a third cup!”

They laughed, and walked back toward the office.

“I am going to the ladies room,” Nichy said, when he went to buzz her in.

“Okay,” he smiled at her. 

Nichy went to the bathroom, put down her coffee and her phone down and headed into a stall.

Now she had memorized his scent and felt the heat of his body as she passed him, now it was too hard not to…

One hand gripped the door, as she pulled up her dress and her other hand slipping into her pantyhose that she wore without panties. Closing her eyes, she let her finger move over that curve that she imagined every time she saw Gavin. A low moan escaped her, and she bit her lip to keep quiet. His scent and warmth were with her like a summer day. She felt the dampness on her temples and under her arms and…well there. 

She moved just the one finger on her curve faster, and faster biting her lower lip to stop the mantra of obscenities that wanted to slip from her mouth. Suddenly she moved her hand as if she had touched fire, and felt the sweet circle of release that moved about her curve. She tightened her legs and thought how much she would like to have Gavin…there…

Get Tied Up: Tie Me Up Excerpt No. 8

I promise to keep you tied up before and after TIE ME UP, my upcoming antho pubbed by Riverdale Avenue Books! “Collared and Cuffed” by my friend and sexy author Del Carmen, should keep you tied up for a bit! The full story will be in the anthology on April 6!

It was a full body kiss.  His mouth covered hers.  Their tongues mated.  Hungry. Insatiable. His hands cupped her ass and lifted her up towards his hard dick.  She rocked against his hardness while his tongue moved in and out of her mouth. 

They came up for air.  He rubbed his nose against her cheek breathing in her scent, vanilla and spices.  She caressed his cheek with hers loving the roughness of his five o’clock shadow on her skin.

“What other toys did you get?”  He pressed a kiss on her shoulder.

She invited him to take a look, and Rey emptied the bags on the table.

He snorted behind her.  He was holding up a box with an edible bikini.

“That is for you.”  The shocked look on his face was priceless.  This time she was the one laughing.

“Now this,” he stressed, “is more my style.”  He examined the nipple clamps, blindfold, feather tickler and handcuffs.  He shook the box that read Fifty Shades of Grey Kit.

Ivette shook her head and said, 
“Don’t ask.”

“Take your pick.”  Rey requested.

She had laughed with the girls when they had spread the items before here, but here and now in front of her lover, disturbing and delicious thoughts were running through her mind.

“What makes you think they are to use on me?”

He looked perplexed at her question, then intrigued.

 “Are you game, lover?”  She teased.

“Be gentle with me.”  
He smiled as he handed her the handcuffs.

She twirled them on her fingers, her eyes running over his body.

“You could tie me to one on the posts on the bed,” he volunteered.

“Or I can tie you to one of the posts on the kitchen chair,” she countered.

He looked bemused.

“I could ride you better,” she explained.

“I am all for that,” he exclaimed.

They laughed and adjusted the handcuffs to fit his wrists.  The click of the cuffs was loud in the kitchen.  They stared at one another.  

Their roles were reversed.  Not that she was shy in bed, but they’d never tried anything this racy before. 

BDSM lite for them…for now.

“First time for everything,” Rey said, reading her thoughts.  “Now hurry up and have your wicked way with me, woman!”

This was fun, she thought.  On a whim, she grabbed Biggs’ collar off the counter.  
It fit Rey just fine.

Kink of the Week — March 16-31: Corsets

We were led upstairs by a girl who I almost wanted to prick with a pin, or pinch. She was so perfectly put together and her behavior so appropriate, I wanted to ses her come undone.

Of course she recognized me, I was used to that. But I was never used to the mechanical way that people interacted with me.

And of course her eyes moved to my companion, because he was just as known as me. Because he was with me. 

As we walked to the private bidding room, we walked past it: the gorgeous photograph that from the time  Henry saw me looking at it, he wanted to buy for me.

He spoiled me, and I loved it. 

“No, I want to buy this for myself and I want you to come…to bid with me!” I’d countered.

“But you can do a phone bid or something Pauline. Why would you want to be in that circus? It is not our style.”

I smiled at him. He knew me so well, us so well.

“We will have a private room of course,” I said to him. “Because that is our style.”

I looked at the gorgeous photograph of a corset, almost as lovely as the one I wore. As we walked past the employees they all stared at me. Henry was the kind of man that other women hated you for being with. But because I looked the way I did, they hated  me additionally because I could pull him. But that was what I had done and corset or not to alter my shape, I could have done it even if I was older than him.

Henry took my hand, and walked ahead of me to open the door.

“Can I help you with anything else Ms. Ross?”

I looked at the young woman in front of me and smiled, not too harshly I hoped.

“No, dear. We are fine.”

Henry was hungry for mey body, and he barely was able to let the door close before his hand was on my ass. I saw the young woman blush, but then hold my eyes a little longer than she needed to with a smile and…envy.

Pushing me against the wall, Henry pressed himself to me, caressed my hips and licked the top of my breasts as if they were ice cream in a cone: soft licks in circles. He panted softly as he pulled up my dress and caressed my ass with his hands in circles much like he licked my breasts. 

“We are not going to fuck unless I get that picture,” I heard myself pant, eyes closed tightly with pleasure as he did not stop licking my breasts or touching my ass. “Did you hear me?” I opened my eyes.

Henry stopped, he heard the seriousness in my voice.

I braced myself against the wall, and smiled at him.

“We are not going to fuck unless I win that picture!”

I knew Henry’s limits, and I knew I had pushed them. He liked to play with me, but he really wanted me and I wanted him. But I was not going to be with him when I was nervous about winning the photograph.

“Are you kidding me? Your lot is awhile away! You want me to sit here with this and not fuck you?”

When he stroked himself through his pants, I felt how slippery I was but I did not give a shit.

“Yeah, exactly.” I put my hand over his, and he closed his eyes and grunted. “Or you can go out there and have one of those young women that was drooling all over you…”

“No,” he said pushing my hand away. “Will we fuck whether you win or not?”

I shrugged and took his hand. I took him to the plush couch, where there was a bucket with two bottles of champagne and hors d’oeuvres on the glass table. 

I did not bother to pull my dress down, and sat bare-assed on the leather couch. Henry sat beside me, and caressed my thigh. 

“If we can’t…can we do something else? To tide me over?”

I grinned.

“Like what?”

Henry pulled off my dress. I sat with spread legs in just my ivory corset and patterned pumps, and looked at him. 

“What number is your lot?”

“Soixante-neuf.”

“You are lying!”

I handed him the catalog from the glass table.

“Sixty-nine…” he said. “Can I lick you once for each lot?”

“Where?” I leaned forward.

Henry leaned forward, I leaned back on the pillows. I heard the hammer go down. The auction was about to begin.

When he got between my legs and came to kiss me at my hunger mark, I felt like Anne Sexton’s poem, “Barefoot.”

I nodded and let him lick me sixty-eight times. But I sat up when they got to lot sixty-nine. I picked up the phone, and crossed my legs. Henry frowned. I shooed him away, as I told the head of the photography department my bid. She tried to run it up, but there were only a few fervent bidders. I did not want to go over $10,000. I had done my research.

But I wanted it, and would go over. I did not come here…well I had not come in that way yet and I had not here to not win.

The hammer went down.

“Sold! To a private bidder!”

I watched with a smile as the auctioneer wrote down my number that was whispered to him. Henry parted my legs, and he licked me once more.

Sixty-nine.

“I won,” I said, and the excitement of the bidding and his tongue made me come.

I stood up, pulled my dress over my head and took a final sip of my champagne. Henry got up with me, took my hand.

My hair was mussed, and Henry was hard. Everyone looked at us.

“Congratulations Ms. Ross!” The young woman who had led me to the private room smiled at me again, knowingly.

I smiled at her, knew she wondered what was behind my dark shaded eyes.

Dark thoughts she could not dream, and Henry squeezed my hand with knowing.

Tie Me Up Cover Reveal!!!

I am so proud of this GORGEOUS cover, and that Riverdale Avenue Books used my cover concept! Do you judge books by their covers? I do, and glad TIE ME UP has such a hot cover. The inside is even hotter, believe me!!!

Get Tied Up: Tie Me Up Excerpt No. 7 & On A Red Horse

Another double feature for you! First from TIE ME UP, my upcoming antho pubbed by Riverdale Avenue Books“Bed Knobs & Belt Buckles” by Monica Corwin. And since today is Monica’s release day for her hot-off-the-press ON A RED HORSE, there is a snippet of that as well! Red hot indeed!

For the next few days, I am going to post a few things of my own. Tuesday, there will be more TIE ME UP excerpts. The book will be out April 6. Follow everything TIE ME UP on Twitter and the TIE ME UP BOOK page on Facebookwhere there will soon be a cover reveal!!!


And now for our scheduled program! From TIE ME UP:


I checked my face in the mirror every time I passed it, since it was opposite the door in the living room. My hair was still braided neatly, but my eyes looked darker than their usual gray-blue with the sparse eyeliner I applied. My lips were a healthy shade of pink, flushed from biting them because of my nerves.

A soft knock interrupted my pacing across the carpet, and I froze. It took a few seconds to mentally push myself to the door. I opened it, and peeked outside. He gave me a small smile and I pulled it open, the hinges squeaked for the effort.

He looked the same as ever: the same sandy blond hair and boyish grin. His blue eyes always seemed too big for his face, but made him look gentler, more open.

“Am I allowed to come in?” John asked.

“Of course,” I chuckled, shaking myself from staring at him too hard.

I moved out of the way, ushering him inside. My heart climbed up my throat, making speaking and breathing both things of the past.

His scent caught up to me after he moved past me, he smelled exactly as he had years before. Instantly, I was transported to a time when we flirted often and touched “accidentally” as much as possible. Why hadn’t I been brave enough to make a move then? It wouldn’t happen again, I resolved, as I closed the door softly and twisted the lock.

and from ON A RED HORSE:

  

“Why? Why after all this time do you still love me? After everything, your search, your sacrifices…how can you still love me? I don’t think I can forgive myself. How can you?”

Tyr spun her around so he could look into her eyes as he spoke. He needed to be absolutely clear and ensure she heard him as he spoke the words. “I love you. I have loved you since you first challenged me. You’re my wife and my life. There is not a single thing I would not do for you. Except leave. That is something I’ll never do.”

Scarlet held his gaze for a few nerve wracking heartbeats. “Please,” she whimpered before stretching so he could meet her lips with his own. He didn’t hesitate for a second but pulled her into his arms, completely enfolding her into his embrace. 

She tasted like Asgard, like home, and when she parted her lips to allow him access, he felt the towers of the palace and the walls encircling his favorite garden. He didn’t need Asgard when he held her. She whimpered into his mouth, and he broke away, his breathing heavy, and attempted to regain his composure. “My love, did I hurt you?”

Scarlet looked down at the floor and shook her head. When she raised her eyes to meet his gaze again, a fine sheen of tears coated them. Not a single drop fell, but it was enough for him to know that he affected her as well. 

“I love you, Scarlet. I will always love you.”

There was nothing else to say. She kissed him again, and he lost himself to those plush lips and her roaming hands.

Don’t miss Monica’s release day event on Facebook starting at noon EST. Tonight at 8, I will be talking books and whatever you like. Come visit us!!!

Wicked Wednesday #147 –Spread the Love & Liebster Award (Double Feature)

It was not often that Fiona had dinner parties in her apartment, but she had decided that she wanted to. A rare moment that she confided in her mother, and her mother looked at her with a knowing look. She wanted her mother to meet Alice.

Not the Alice that was in her bed that weekend morning, soft snd damp after they made love. It was nice to see Alice, gorgeous and cooking in her kitchen. The love and dedication that Alice gave to pressing a clove of garlic… The way she closed her eyes when she tasted something, and it was the way that she wanted it.

Fiona could not help but pull Alice to the side, right before the first of their guests arrived, savoring the garlic on her soft breath, and the dampness from the exertion of cooking making her thin dress cling to her shapely derriere.  

They walked to the door together, Fiona unable to not touch some part of Alice’s body even when her mother and father walked in. Fiona paid careful attention to how her mother looked at Alice.

“Nice to meet you Alice,” her mother said, and Fiona caught her imperceptible eyes on her lover.

Fiona just hoped to spread the love that she was beginning to feel throughout their party, throughout the evening. Her mind raced as she saw Alice’s sweet reassurance in the reflection of the Leonor Fini photograph, she loved so much.

Fiona’s love spread throughout her own body.

And now for part two of our double feature!!! 

The lovely, lovely, lovely Marie Rebelle nominated me for a Liebster award! Read her gorgeous post here for the rules and criteria. I am thankful for her nominating me, and I am going to answer the questions she requested. I nominate Rebecca Black for a Liebster award, she writes hotter than fire and she makes me want to try my hand at Masturbation Monday!

Here goes:

Why did you start blogging?

This blog was started so I could be part of a Eroticon roundtable meme!

How did you choose your pseudonym? If you blog/write under your own name, it would be wonderful to hear how your family/friends react to what you write.

With my pseudonym, it’s complicated! Leonora reminds me of surrealist artists, like Leonora Carrington or Leonora Fini.

Talk to me about photos on your blog. Do you make your own? Post them? Do you show your face? Why or why not?

Some images are mine, some are images that I identify as not mine. I like them to go with the words I write. Never show my face, I hate taking pictures in general!!!

Do you write erotic stories? If so, have you ever been published or do you wish to be?

What is the ultimate goal for your blog?

YES!!! My most recent published short story is in the hot-off-the-press SPY GAMES edited by Jilly Boyd, and pubbed by House of Erotica

 

What memes do you participate in?

Why, Wicked Wednesday of course! And some others. I want to give Masturbation Monday a try!

Do you have any suggestions for prompts for Wicked Wednesday?

Something with roses!!!

What is your life motto?

We are the masters of our own happiness….

What kind of “-aholic” are you? Workaholic, shopaholic, sexaholic, chocoholic?

Oh too many -aholic tendencies! Mainly a gadgetoholic at the moment, I love my gadgets and new apps, so an appaholic as well!

When would you really stop blogging?

I can’t imagine a finishing point at the moment…

Will I see you at Eroticon 2015?

Yessssss! Cannot wait! xxx

 

Spy Games is Out!!!

I am soooooo happy to share with you the release of Spy Games, edited by Jilly Boyd for House of Erotica…especially since I am in it!

I never wrote espionage before…but something about the call appealed to me, and I did it. “Harper” came about using themes I like–it is set in Paris! And I fell in love with my characters…so I very happy I wrote it!

Wanna peek?

“Take off your clothes,” he grunted, 

unbuttoning her blouse

“Leave on your suit,” she replied, her voice sounding just as huskily.

He smiled at her as he watched her finish unbuttoning her blouse, exposing her bare breasts right off the bat.

“So there’s a bit of kinkiness in you? A suit fetish, perhaps?”

Removing her skirt revealed that she hadn’t worn any underwear. She looked up at him.

“Talk? Or do?”

Russell pulled her to him while she was taking off her thigh high. She dug her nails into the other leg, tossing both ruined stockings carelessly onto the floor. She buried her face in his suit jacket, realizing he might have been right about her kinkiness. It was not something that she thought about before, but she guessed it was there right now. 

The feeling of his suit against her bare skin while he was kissing her was one thing. Her bare ass against the chain that barred entry seemed ironic to her. There was no desire in her for others to enter, but she liked being watched, and that wasn’t something that she’d ever realized she liked until the past 24 hours. First in the bar, and now here with Russell.

Get Tied Up: Tie Me Up Anthology Excerpt No. 6

For your own good you need to read this excerpt from TIE ME UP, my upcoming antho pubbed by Riverdale Avenue Books! “For Her Own Good” is a decadent delicacy only Salome Wilde could pen, here for your reading pleasure! The full story will be in the anthology on April 6!

“A handsome prince,” Ania would often say. “will rescue me and show me what love is.”

She said this often, and all in the harem who heard her proclamation would laugh 

heartily, assuming she was playing coy and making a joke. Only Nati seemed to understand that this “princess” was in earnest.

Tonight, however, there could be no laughter. Nati knew that Ania’s destined “prince,” a cruel nobleman, would do anything but rescue her. She felt helpless. Yet, as Ania flung her 

ignorant barb, Nati recognized a new possibility. She knew the best way to get Ania to blossom into the sexual maturity she would need for survival was to learn to pleasure herself. Nati had told Ania so, but she would not hear of it.

“It is one thing,” she explained, with characteristic naïve boldness. “to be forced to accept lustful advances. But it is worse yet to seek ways to become even more shameless.” ​​​

“Rau,” Nati called. “Come and help me with this impossible princess.”

Ania whimpered her distress. Rau rose, and Cellet, chuckling, joined him. Several others who were lying on their pallets but still awake came along as well: including a short, rotund woman whose name Nati did not know and the sleepy-eyed voyeur Ingh, who stretched as he walked to witness whatever apparent action was going to take place. Ingh’s cock, enormous when flaccid and unthinkable when hard, made him a popular choice for anal punishments of members of court who displeased the King. He was otherwise unremarkable but for his attraction to Sujuru, a woman whose hair was as wild as her temper and who remained snoring in his pallet when he left.

Though she regretted calling Rau for the attention it brought, she would not relinquish this opportunity, the last she might have to assist Ania in accepting her fate.

“If you let him spank me…” Ania protested, pointing at a smiling Rau.

Nati took Ania’s hand and smiled genuinely. “Nothing of the sort, dear one. Our friends are going to help you achieve something important tonight.” To the others she said, “Because she cannot do so herself, we are going to give Ania a gift.”
