Sara White is outwardly a good girl; she follows
the rules; works in a professional office; has a boyfriend who treats her with
consideration. However, deep inside her, there’s a craving for pain, a desire
to be spanked and whipped, to be submissive, to be controlled.
One day, she walks into the House of Pain, a sex
store in Toronto that also does shows in the back, where women are whipped and
spanked in front of an audience. Transfixed by the idea, she signs up.
Doug Patterson has met Sara at work, but
discovers a whole new side of her when he sees her at the House of Pain. He
approaches her and suggests Sara become his submissive. Sara is attracted to
Doug; but afraid of complication.
Will Sara surrender to Doug, and yield to her
desire to be submissive?
Contains
BDSM, flogging, anal sex, and much more...
Excerpt:
Tara’s note: This is Sara’s second
show at the House of Pain…
There’s
some music playing; it is some kind of dystopian trance/electronic music that
softly pulses in the room. The music fits the scene well.
I’m
already on stage when the curtain is raised. This time, I’m hanging suspended
from the ceiling, facing the floor; my breasts are tightly bound together, and
they are rapidly reddening and ballooning under this treatment; my arms are
drawn back in a cruel tie; my hair has somehow been woven through the bindings
so that I can’t slump my head; my calves are tied tight to my knees, and my
legs are spread open, and tied in place.
There
are cameras on the floor, ready to project my every quiver and moan on the
screens off the side.
I’m
already in a bit of pain; the rope is cruel, and my body is contorted for the
viewing pleasure of the audience.
I
am utterly helpless, and I love it.
The
music increases in volume; it is now filling the room in a stormy crescendo.
And then, silence.
Utter,
perfect silence. The eyes of the audience are upon me, and though I can’t see
them; I feel their hunger in the air.
The
feel of this show is different. In the last one, John was joking with the
audience; the audience was hollering, whistling, cheering. This show will be
different; John has said. This one will be more solemn; there’s a sense of
ritual in the air. There is a spotlight on me; and the screens off to the side
are lit as well, but the stage is otherwise dark.
Crack.
Out
of nowhere, the flogger has struck my ass.

About Tara:
Hello,
I’m Tara Cresent. I’ve always fantasized about being a mysterious spy, leading
a secret double-life, and now, I find that that’s come true!
Sort
of.
By
day, I’m a mild-mannered corporate drone in Toronto, but by night, I’m limited
only by my imagination; I am a daring writer of BDSM, erotica and romance.
In
my spare time, I write of course. I also read, garden, travel, cook, and almost
never clean. I just started watching Walking Dead on Netflix (zombie erotica,
anyone?), and I’m impatiently awaiting the next episode of Doctor Who. (I would
kill for a TARDIS.)
I’ve
scribbled bits and pieces all my life, chiefly inspired by what I’m reading,
which tends to be mainly science-fiction and fantasy, with a healthy sprinkling
of romance and erotica thrown in.
I’m
a huge believer in happily-ever-after, but tempered by real life, where
happily-ever-after is possible, but takes work.
My favorite kind of romance stories are ones that are somewhat
believable; I like strong men and women who know what they want out of life,
and are driven to get it.
From
time to time, I blog about what I’m writing at http://www.taracrescent.com. The blog is also where
I post book excerpts; highlight information about upcoming promotions, and so
on and so forth. Follow me there to keep up with all the fun!
