A Belt Whipping for Sophie

Romancing the Kink is hosting the new Dungeon Crawl Blog Hop - a weekly blog hop for spankos and BDSM'ers alike!

 As is typical for Sheri Savill and Trent Evans (over at RTK), there are no rules!! WooHoo. It's all about being inclusive and open to all...I did warn Sheri to reign Trent in - he's kind of wordy... ;)

 So today to kick off the first of what I hope are many more blog hops to come, I'd like to share a snippet from Aching to Submit - the book closest to my heart. For some reason, this scene has been on my mind and I find it utterly hot. I hope you enjoy.

Before she had a chance to panic, Michael brought the belt down, listening to the sound it made
as it connected with her buttocks, watching the quivering of her flesh, followed by the clenching

of her cheeks. 

She barely managed to keep her hands on the wall, but lifted her leg, pressing her thighs together as she managed the pain before setting her leg back down. He struck again, the second one a little higher than the first. She made a sound; it wasn’t quite a cry, more a soft, feminine, fragile sound. The third and last struck at the crease beneath her buttocks and at that, she did call out.

“Stay,” he said, his voice rough. He threw the belt on the bed and unzipped his pants. Lifting her from behind and pressing her into the wall, he thrust his cock deep into her dripping pussy. Keeping her trapped between his chest and the wall, he cupped her clit in one hand and rubbed, pinching roughly at the swollen little nub until she was whimpering, her pussy clamping down over his cock, milking it as he, with a final thrust, stilled behind her, a groan vibrating from deep inside his chest.

When he pulled out, he slapped her ass hard, then gripped it in his palm.

“Ow!”

“Shh. Stay there, skirt hiked up, until my cum drips out of your pussy,” he said, leaning
down to close his mouth over her neck, just behind her ear, sucking a little.

Erotica Writers Behind the Scenes - Part 1

My friend Sheri Savill and I have been having random conversations for a while now and we had this idea that people might be amused by some of the conversation. Now as I write this, I realize how arrogant that sounds but it's not how it's meant at all! Really, it's just to entertain and share another side of my personality. The goofy one which is 13 years old. 

 Immaturity - it is the fountain of youth...

*Disclaimer - there are 1000 better things you can do with your time than reading this malarkey. If you choose to stick around, I hope you get a laugh out of it...

* * * *

Natasha: Dude, how many times have you started a project and figured out you had no plot? How far was it when you figured it out? Note to self - must decide on plot before attempting to write.
Sheri: I start things all the time without a "plot" and in fact that's the whole thing about fiction that kills me. Plot? WTF?


* * * *
Natasha: Why does my family expect meals daily? WTF is that about? Cereal people. Cereal!
Sheri: Count Chocula casserole. Why the f*** not? You could sprinkle Toll-House chips on top to be fancy, if they require that. I hate the "big meal" concept anyway. I don't cook at all. When I lived alone I had a jar of pickles and a 6-pack of Diet Coke in my fridge and I never used my "oven" -- it actually had books inside it and the burners on top were covered with these burner-cover things you can buy to hide ugly stove burners. The whole thing was a big hint to guys I dated. "Hey, I don't think this chick is into cooking."
* * * *
(Conversation after Sheri started her series of inspiring photos titled the banana series...remember the man with the cane?)
Natasha: Sorry, what is the proper terminology? Banana?
Sheri: Terminology for what, DM*? For posting in Google Docs? Or for a "banana"? I think for "banana" the proper terminology is "Huge outline of a hard-on." For Google Docs, the terminology is "Google Doc."

*DM - Dork Medallion. Sheri found a pic that just tickled her fancy (that she has now lost) and somehow, mostly because we are immature, we started to call each other that.


* * * *
(Natasha just got Sheri into a FB group)
Sheri:  OK, I’m in. Not sure what the f*** to do there now.
Natasha: Don’t f****** curse whatever you do.
Sheri: Is it real active and busy, like, with mandatory stuff?
Natasha: No, DM, just go on there when you see something fun.
Sheri: Just FYI, I’m having internet problems.
Natasha: I’m having cooking problems. HOLD PLEASE.
* * * *


Natasha: Sheri, WTF is wrong with us?  I used WTF 4 times up there. I might make coffee too.
Sheri: WTF.
Natasha: You doing that hop?
Sheri: Huh?
Natasha: The hop.
Sheri: Hops don’t seem to do jack shit for me, so I’m leaning toward not.
Natasha: Do you have a mailbox where I can send you something, f***er? Why can’t my iPhone learn that word ... f***er? [Natasha sent pic of bunnies - they're super cute] F***er, read my comment on your blog. Are you still prodded? F-ing autocorrect!
* * * *
Believe it or not, there's more! Yes, I said more! And Sheri has pictures to go with her post... here, click here!!

Round Table Discussion - The Evolution of a Spanking Relationship



Author Patricia Green and is hosting today's Round Table Discussion and her topic is Being of an Age and Spanking: a discussion about how one changes as a spanking partner over the years of a relationship.

I'm not really sure how to answer this one because we're so new to it, but it got me thinking. First off, my husband and I do not practice DD. It's just not a part of the dynamic between us. I pretty much just like to be spanked when I want to be spanked how I want to be spanked. Or so he says at least...and as of late, I must say, he's right.

I like to say that I'm submissive - and I want to be and am in many ways, but I also know exactly what I want and realized recently I'm not as flexible as I like to think on that. I read an article my friend Tracey shared with me written by Cherise Sinclar. I actually read it to pass along to my husband as it was about beginning domination (linked if you'd like to have a look at it). My take away from that was that he, as the dominant, gets to decide (she says it much better than I so go have a look at the article). Of course, I know that and yes, that's what I want. I want him to take over and dominate me. Yep - very easy. So he read it and we talked about it and I thought and thought about it. He made some comment about me wanting to be dominated my way and not really giving him room to come up with his own plan. He might also have called me bossy (or something else) in that conversation but I can't remember for sure...

In the last year and few months, we've had ups and downs but overall, we are closer and just more intimate together. I think we value each other more. We had a pretty good relationship to start with and telling him about my spanking desires brought us to an even better place. We still hit lows by the way and are not perfect, but where I see this taking us in the coming years is just closer together. I'm hoping as we talk and as we practice, we learn more about ourselves, about each other and take away layer after layer to get to the good stuff, the heart of this.

Maybe we push some boundaries too. I hope so. This whole 'you're only submissive when you want to be submissive' thing kind of threw me. It made me wonder if it was a lack of trust and in a way, it is or is partly at least. I'm hoping in the coming years I learn to trust him to give me what I want and need and I know he can only do that if I trust him to do it in the first place. Does that make any sense? I've said this before - everything has its opposite and both are true at once. This is one of those things.

Tracey and I have also spoken about submission and how in a way, you have to give your submission for him to be able to dominate. It's like someone has to go first and in D/s, it's the submissive (in my mind) and the submission that has to first be given otherwise it turns into something else, something potentially not good.

So, I rambled. I'm not even sure I answered the question on hand but it's where my mind is at the moment. If I can sum this up in one line: I hope in the coming years we are closer together because of this and yes, most definitely I hope to still have a nicely spanked bottom and just figure out together where we are going.

Please visit the other participants on today's discussion so make sure you have a look and visit them. The links are below. Thanks for reading and have a lovely weekend.

On Writing Spanking Romance

My friend Liv Honeywell asked me if I'd like to participate in a hop where authors talk about their writing process and I thought why not? It's good for me to not share just the sexy bits of my work. 

 Wait, you're not going to stop reading now that I've said that, are you?

 There are four questions to answer so here we go:

 What am I working on now? At the moment of writing this, I have just submitted a manuscript for the next book in the Roark Brothers series as well as another piece I'd been working on for a while, a romantic suspense. I'm also editing a story the rights of which will return to me by the end of March that I will republish. More to come on that later.

 How does my work differ from others of its genre? I like this question but also not. I think I work with a lot of very talented authors many of whom I also count as friends. I think the quality of erotica in general improves daily and spanking erotica is no different. 

 How I feel I differ? Well, for me, the emotions of the characters and what goes on in their heads is the driver of my stories. This may not be all that different from others now that I've said it. One area that is different is that even though I would classify my work as spanking romance, the D/s aspect is central to my theme and exploration through my work. The more I write, the more I feel as though I take away another layer of myself. What I mean by that is that through the writing, I hone in on what it is that draws me to this.

 On this note, my husband asked me the other day if I still find spanking sexy. I looked at him like he had three heads but then I thought of his question. The answer is yes, absolutely, spanking is what turns me on, but through the writing, I've become more specific, learning what it is about this whole thing that draws me, that has always drawn me, even when I didn't have a name for it.

 Why do I write what I do? I started to write spanking romance to get the fantasies out of my head but it turned out to do the opposite. The more I wrote, the more I wanted and the more I learned about myself. 

 Someone asked me a while back if I would write another genre soon. I think at the time they asked, I was a bit embarrassed about what I wrote (and they did not know it was spanking romance, just erotica). If they asked me that today, I'd tell them absolutely not. I love what I write, I'm proud of what I write and I think there are a lot of people who read these stories because they do not have the real life outlet and I am very happy to be a part of their escape. I feel like in a way, I help them (or I hope I help them) get beyond the shame and simply accept what is a part of us. There's nothing wrong with this kink and there's an entire community of people out here ready to open our arms to others who need embracing.

 What is my writing process? It's actually very boring. I make coffee and I read my mail. I make more coffee and do some chatting on FB and some promotion. Then for the bulk of the day I sit alone in my kitchen and I write. Once my kids get home from school, it stops (for the most part) and in the evenings when my friends in the US are up, I chat some more. I don't plan out plots although I'd like to be able to at some point.

 Thanks for being here and reading this. Next week, February 24th, Sheri Savill and Casey McKay will post about their own process. 
Casey McKay, author of Cursed Waters and Catch a Falling Star

Casey McKay enjoys fighting the boredom of her soul crushing day job by being a spanking fiction writer by night. Writing books she would like to read- not surprisingly they all become romance novels, with lots of spanking. She likes a good romance, with a little bit of comedy, a happy ending, and of course some spanking.

Follow her blog at www.caseymckay.com
Sheri Savill, author of Owning Julia, Marked for Submission and Bound for Disappointment

 SHERI SAVILL likes to put her name in all caps. Sh

She is an independent author who has written nonfiction and humor for a very long time. Lately she writes BDSM erotica. And w00t, she is a real-life submissive who was into kink long before it was cool.

A career in publishing/journalism led her to the brink of insanity. Or past the brink, depending on which former employer you ask.

Her hobbies include violating the rules of good writing and grammar simply because she can, directing friends to Google search, telling strangers to lighten the hell up, and preparing for the zombie apocalypse.

Sheri's books are said to be slightly less disappointing than Vanilla Coke.

Taming Megan #SatSpanks

Welcome back to Saturday Spankings.  Today I'd like to share an excerpt from Taming Megan, the next book in the Roark Brothers series. Taming Emma was the first but each of the books stand alone. I have a thing for brothers, especially hot alpha brothers...

I don't yet have a cover to share, but soon. I'm trying hard to be patient :) so I'll just give you eight sentences worth. Just a quick set up, this is Megan's first punishment spanking. She is already in the corner dressed only in panties and Jake has just told her to take them down and place her hands at the back of her head...

* * * *


He waited while she shot a quick, worried glance his way. He could see her forcing a deep in breath, probably telling herself to stay calm, but the next thing she did surprised him. She turned to face him but didn’t meet his eyes. She shook her head fast once, wrapping her arms around herself, covering herself. She stayed like that, her gaze at her feet. He watched as a tear slid down her cheek but she didn’t make a single sound, didn't try to talk her way out of it. There was no attempt to be playful or to seduce, no nothing. She just stood there, waiting, almost as if she were unable to obey.

Aching to Submit #Spanking Book Club Discussion Today

First, a wish for each of you to have a beautiful Valentine's Day. I hope you all get spanked or get to spank, depending. One or the other for sure though.

I have to admit, I usually forget this day but I've also missed more than five wedding anniversaries in the years we've been married. Yes, my own!!!

Today is special though because Casey McKay is hosting my book, Aching to Submit, as the book to be discussed on Celeste Jones' Spanking Book Club. She's asked some questions I'd like to know people's answers to so come over and have a look. Even if you haven't read the book, you'll still be able to participate in answering the questions.

Here's the link to the post. See you there!
