Trick or Treat! (#BDSM #FlashFiction #Halloween #freereads)

"Which would you prefer, Sarah, the cane or the feather duster?"

"Is that a trick question?"

"Why do you ask? Don't you trust me?"

"Of course I do. But you do have a way of twisting things around in unexpected directions."

"I thought you liked surprises. In any case, as your Master it's my responsibility to add a certain - ambiguity - to our interactions. To keep you on your toes."

"These ridiculous spike heels do that well enough."

"If I hear any more complaints or excuses, Sarah, I will make you very sorry. And I don't mean something you'd enjoy like a spanking or nipple clamps."

"I..."

"Sarah! Just answer my question. Now."

"Well... I choose the cane."

"Really? Why is that? You're blushing, you know. Tell me why you prefer the cane."

"Well - um - I think it will hurt more. And that it will please you more, to see me enduring that pain."

"But I asked what you wanted. Not what you think I'd want."

"Mm..."

"What was that?"

"There's no difference, Master. What I want is to please you, to fulfill your every lust, to satify your desires before you are even aware of them."

"Silly, romantic girl. You sound like a novel."

"It's the truth. I can't help it."

"So - " (Swish!) "you want the cane, do you?"

"Yes, Master."

"Last time, you remember, you couldn't sit down for two days." (Swish!)

"I remember."

"Very well. Bend over and hold on to the edge of the table. Good." (Swish!)

"Ow -- oh! Oh!!"

"You're awfully slick, Sarah. The cane slides back and forth in your pussy as though it was greased."

"Uh...ooh..."

"Spread your legs a bit more. That's right. Now I can rub the bamboo right up against your clit."

"Oh, Master! Oh...!"

"I think that talking about the pain makes you hot. But what about the pain itself?"

"Uh...ooh...I don't know."

"We should do some experiments in that area, don't you think? Oh, there's the doorbell. Some urchins come to extort their candy from us, no doubt. Get up and answer it, Sarah."

"What? Like this?"

"Naked, in high heels, with a cane wedged in your crotch? Why not?"

"Please, the neighbors are already suspicious about us. All the screams and so on. If I expose myself to their kids, they're going to report us. These days, especially, anything involving children is especially dangerous."

"Hey, you'd probably like it in prison. All those rough, nasty guards... Come on, Sarah, I'm only teasing you. Here, throw this over your head. Then go answer the door."

"But..."

"I'll give you butt! Don't argue. I swear, for someone who claims to be my slave you give me a lot of lip."

"I'm sorry, Master. But I must look like Casper with an erection."

"You do, rather. Never mind. Go give the grubby little devils what they deserve, then get back here."

"Yes, Master."

...

"So, who was it?"

"Two Darth Vaders, one Power Ranger, one Harry Potter and a most convincing Elvira, Mistress of the Dark."

"Hmm, sounds appealing. Should have invited her in."

"Master... ow!"

"Your nipples are like marbles, little Sarah. And how's that cane doing? Walk around a bit for me. Very fetching. But I think you're having a bit too much fun. Let me have it."

"Ooh...ah! Are you going to beat me now?"

"Perhaps. Would you like that?"

"Whatever you'd like, Master."

"Hmm. Is that so? So many possibilities... Go back to the table and bend over again. Thighs wide. That's right. Now, reach back and pull open your cheeks. Yes, very nice. So sensitive and vulnerable. I really should cane you, Sarah. You deserve it, for your insolence and your questions. But..." (Zip!) "I'm just too indulgent to train you properly..."

"Oh...MASTER!"

...

"Master?"

"Yes?"

"Can I ask you a question?"

"You just did."

"The cane was delicious, a real treat. I was wondering what you planned to do if I had chosen the feather duster."

"Actually, I was going to break off the feathers and use the sharp quills to pierce the flesh around your nipples."

"No! Not really! You wouldn't do that! Would you?"

"You can never be sure, Sarah, can you? That's why you love me."

"Only one of the reasons, Master. One of many."

Lisabet's October Newsletter

Trick or Treat!

It's October, my favorite month of the year - when I get to dress up and pretend to be someone scarier or sexier than I really am. The photo above is one of my costumes from a number of years ago. What am I, you ask? I called myself "Creature of the Night" - you might not be able to tell, but that's a snake tucked into my belt and a black widow spider on the ribbon around my neck. The costume was not a total success. (I think the makeup makes me look like I have a rash...) Actually, I was aiming for something more like Elvira...

Ah well, I can dream, can't I? In any case, my October newsletter is finally here. Read on for news about releases, reviews, blog posts, work in progress, and of course, contests!

New and Upcoming Releases

Earlier this month Cleis Books released Steamlust, a fabulous new anthology of steam punk erotic romance that includes my story "Green Cheese". The book is already receiving rave reviews.

Publishers Weekly wrote:

Not content to titillate, these passionate vignettes will also satisfy steampunk fans intellectually with nuanced discussions of self-sufficient women and the roles that machines play in our lives.

Romance Times comments:

With a foreword by Meljean Brook and an introduction by the editor, this erotic paean to steampunk captures many aspects of the genre. Expect the unexpected...

In the case of my story, "the unexpected" includes Victorian Bangkok, mechanical dancers, and a war on the moon. Just click here for an excerpt.

Speaking of reviews, Miz Love gave Treble a rating of five out of five and called it "a keeper":

Treble is a fab-tastic collection of very hot tales to suit all tastes. Each story brings a unique slant to the table on more than two in a bed. If you’re curious about just what goes on between the sheets when there’s more than one willy standing up to attention, then this is the book for you. There are lots of hungry willies about, let me tell you, each one belonging to delicious men who bring forth different emotions in each tale.

You can read the full review here. And by the way - if you're the type who enjoys a physical "page turner", Treble is now out in print!

I have two releases coming out next month. November 14th, Total-E-Bound will release Hot Spell, my paranormal tale featuring a hero who is literally sizzling. On the 28th, Wild About That Thing goes on sale as a stand-alone title. Both books are available for pre-order now!

Other News

I recently got the news that my story Shorn has been accepted for Kristina Wright's next anthology, Lustfully Ever After - a collection of erotic romance fairy tales. My story is an unconventional retelling of Rapunzel. The book will be out next year.

Just finished another new story which I've submitted to D.L. King for her succubus-themed anthology. The tale, called Naked in Varanasi is set in India and features an encounter between a man seeking spiritual truth, and an ancient goddess. Keeping my fingers crossed!

My free read this month, appropriately entitled Trick or Treat, provides a humorous and sexy look at a committed BDSM relationship. If you're in the mood for more Halloween-type fun, you might want to check out Dirty Laundry or Offering. My poem Beltane is also about All Hallow's Eve.

Contests!

Thanks to all of you who visited my blog while I was traveling and participated in my Backlist Blog Bash. You kept things lively while I was away!

This month I'm celebrating Halloween by giving away your choice of any paranormal title in my backlist: Necessary Madness, Serpent's Kiss, Tomorrow's Gifts, or Rendezvous. What do you have to do? Share your favorite Halloween costume!

Send an email to contest [at] lisabetsarai.com with the subject "Halloween Contest". Then tell me about the best costume you ever wore. If you have a photo, send it along as an attachment and I'll enter you in the contest twice! Sometime around the 15th of November, I'll randomly draw the winner. I may also feature your photos in a blog post - with your permission, of course.
