A HUGE THANK YOU!! To all the authors who stopped in this month!

I renamed the blog this month. For the month of June thus far, it's been the Kinky Bitches, focusing on authors who write kink - in whichever way they choose to write it. Some write from their own lives, some write with a very realistic approach and a lot of outside consultation, others write ... well, who would like to speculate about their activities? Hmmm?!

Throughout this month, I have been joined by an array of writers of kink/BDSM. Fabulous authors have answered some questions and I've been featuring some of their books.
A huge Thank You to all the participating authors for agreeing to this impromtu gathering of minds!

And another Thank You for all the donations of prizes for the month long giveaway - The prize pool is almost of epic proportions! Your generosity is amazing - Thank You so very much :)

As I still have had commitments for other blog posts, to differentiate between Kinky posts and normal posts, the sections had a make over too - Author Lowdown was Kinky Lowdown, Spotlights were Kinky Spotlights and so on.
Without the Kink, it was just a post!

During the next week, the kinksters has gone back to the Dungeon to play; can't keep them out of there for too long!! This week is dedicated to New Releases, Blog Tours and Cover Reveals!
On board the mid-June chugger, I have:
Dianna Hardy, Eve Langlais, R.S. Grey, Chelsea Camaron, David Michael and Becca Lee.
What a great bunch of authors! (I hope they all get along well together, otherwise your favourite author might get tossed overboard, and we wouldn't want that to happen now would we!)

The Kinky Rafflecopter is open til the end of June and if we're really good girls and boys, there might even be some more authors stopping by in the last week.

"Chasing Cars" by Snow Patrol

This song inspired me whenever I wrote Tono’s scenes. His gentle spirit brings Brie peace, his rope brings her great pleasure. Tono is content just to slow down and “be” with Brie. Unlike Faelan, he respects the sanctity of the collar but his is a love that will never die.

Excerpt from Brie Embraces the Heart of Submission (Tono Teaches Brie):

“Toriko…” Tono called from the other room.

The sound of a lone flute floated in the air, letting her know what was about to take place. She took a deep breath before rejoining him. Brie bit her lip when she saw Tono sitting on the mat in his black kimono, with jute in his hand.

She joined him on the mat, kneeling before him. Her stomach jumped when his fingers made contact with her skin. Without asking, he took her wrist and wrapped the jute around it.

“Observe what I do, toriko. I want you to understand the intricacies of the bindings. These are basic, but can still be used for more complicated designs.”

Her heart rate sped up as she watched him bind one wrist to the other. He then began a pattern, weaving the rope between each of her fingers, caressing her skin sensually with the jute. She longed to close her eyes and give in to the feeling as she listened to the lone flute call her, but it was not what he had asked of her.

When Tono was done, he held up her hands so she could see the intricate work before he untied it and bound her again so that she could observe it a second time. He left her wrists bound when he was finished, starting on her legs next.

He told her to sit with her ankles together and, using a new rope, proceeded to bind them together. She watched in fascination as he tugged and pulled at the rope, creating tight yet beautiful bonds with simple knots. He untied it, and repeated the procedure for her benefit.

Tono then got up and retrieved something from the bedroom before kneeling behind her. “Breathe with me, toriko.”

His words brought a smile to her lips. Brie closed her eyes, embracing the sensual feeling of the bindings as she matched the rhythm of his breaths. He explored her skin with his hands while lightly kissing the back of her neck. “I will bring the release you need…”

"Undisclosed Desires" by Muse

I feel this song expresses a Dom’s heart for his submissive. An in-tune Dominant can help his sub discover her undisclosed desires while empowering her to overcome her fears. It can be a powerful dynamic and this song expresses it beautifully.

Excerpt from Brie Embraces the Heart of Submission (Sir Expands Brie’s Mind):

He put down the items on the table and proceeded to run his fingers over the length of her. Brie bit her lip, her skin tingling with the intensity of his touch, her nipples already painfully erect with need. He slipped his fingers between her legs. “As I expected. You enjoy the prospect of the unknown.”

Sir picked up a piece of cloth. “Let’s add to the experience. Lift your head and open your mouth.” He quickly placed the cloth in her mouth and tied it. There was an added sense of vulnerability in not being able to speak.

“If I do anything you cannot handle, let go of the pole. The instant you do, I will stop. Do you understand?”

She nodded with lustful eyes, watching his every move.

“Instead of a blindfold, I have something more romantic.” He opened the white box and pulled out a huge red rose. He lifted it to his nose and smelled it, smiling at her. Then he put it under her nose and she breathed in its sweetness. He rubbed the soft petals against each nipple, then crushed the flower in his hand. “Close your eyes.”

Brie did as he asked and felt the cold, velvet petals fall on her eyelids.

“A slight turn of your head and they will fall away. You are in complete control of this session, even though you are figuratively blind and bound.”

Brie’s chest was rising and falling rapidly. He hadn’t even started yet and she was a delicious mess.

She heard him unsnap the lock on the metal box. He began rifling through, chuckling softly to himself. She heard him lay several items on the table, then shut the case.

“The human brain is a hotbed of imagination, capable of taking a simple stimulus and magnifying it many times greater than it is. I am going to leave you here, téa. Let your mind run wild while you wait.”

She whimpered when she heard him walk away.

“This is my gift to you,” he said before shutting the door.

"Ter Cetso" by Samvel Yervinyan

When I found this piece of music with the picture of Samvel, I started crying. This is exactly the kind of man I was thinking of when I wrote about Sir’s father. You can see the passion and even the Dom-like look in his eye. But it is at the end of the video that I start to cry. It is as if this is Alonzo’s life if the tragedy had never happened, and the young man he is hugging at the end is Sir. But it blasts apart into tiny pieces because Sir never got that chance.

Excerpt from Brie Embraces the Heart of Submission (Sir Uncovers a Gift):

“Ah.” Sir pulled out a bottle covered in sand. He wiped off the label and then sat down on the grass, shaking his head. “Papà…”

Brie watched silently from the tree, wishing she was free to go to him.

Sir held the bottle and stared at it as if he was being bombarded with memories. Finally, he spoke. “It is tradition in my family to share a bottle of Brunello di Montalcino as a rite of passage when a boy became a man. My father must have buried it when he visited my grandparents after his last European tour…” He added quietly, “How could he know he would never return?”

“Oh, Sir…” she said sorrowfully.

“No, Brie. I will not mourn him on this island.” He looked into the trunk and took out a corkscrew. “I can think of an appropriate use for this wine.” He stared at her as he licked his lips. “And I think he would approve.”

Sir uncorked the old bottle with a satisfying pop and took a long sniff, closing his eyes to take in the bouquet. “Amazingly, it is still sweet.” He lifted the bottle up and nodded at the sky before taking a swig. “Ahh…that’s fine wine, Papà.”

Sir walked over to Brie and shared the drink with her by taking another long draught from the bottle before kissing her. Red wine flooded her mouth with hints of musky berries and vanilla. She smiled when he pulled away. “That’s delicious, Sir.”

He cupped her breast and raised his eyebrow. “This is how I plan to enjoy his gift.” Sir poured the red liquid onto her breast and leaned in, sucking on her nipple seductively. He lifted her wrists from the branch and untied her before forcing her down on her knees. Sir slipped out of his trunks and poured the wine over his rigid shaft. “Suck me,” he ordered.

"Falling" by Mike Posner

This is Mary’s song to Brie. She has a love/hate relationship with Brie. Part of her longs to have a real relationship with another woman, but she has been hurt too many times to trust anyone. Mary believes that Brie is out to destroy her, but she secretly holds out hope Brie will prove her wrong.

Excerpt from Brie Embraces the Heart of Submission (Mary Attempts to Open Up):

Brie picked up one of the snow globes and watched the glitter swirl around the little redheaded mermaid. When Mary came back with their drinks, Brie asked, “So you’re into Disney, huh?”

Mary gave her a nasty look. “Yeah. You got a problem with that?”

“No. It just isn’t something I would have expected from such a tough bitch like you.”

Mary’s expression softened as she handed Brie the drink and took the globe from her. “I love everything Disney. I’m a serious collector.”

Lea glanced around the room. “No doubt! I’d say you’re like a crazy obsessive collector.”

Before Mary could take offense, Brie held up her glass. “Here’s to the Three Musketeers—Mary the Mediocre, Lea the Lame and Brie the Beloved.”

“Brie the Bitch is more like it,” Mary snapped.

Lea rolled her eyes. “Mary, you show no spark of creativity. Clearly, it’s Brie the Butt.”

All three laughed as they clinked glasses, and Brie forced down Mary’s favorite drink. She hid her shudder as she swallowed it, and then got to work setting up the camera and light reflectors while the other two chatted. She focused on the moment instead of on Sir, whom she had left at the apartment all alone. It had nearly killed her to leave him.

“Okay, my plan is to keep things the same as we’ve always done. We’re simply going to sit and talk like we used to after every session. No need to notice the camera. This is just about subbies getting together to dish.”

Mary nodded her approval. “Good. I would have punched you in the throat if you’d tried to get a close-up of a tear or something.”

Lea laughed. “Are you even capable of crying, Mary?”

“No, that ability died long ago,” she quipped, taking a sip of her drink.

It was an honest answer given lightly, but with deep significance. Brie instantly thought of the little girl Mary had once been, and her heart ached for her. This was going to be a difficult interview. She hoped Mary would be resilient enough to survive it.

"Safe and Sound" by Capital Cities

This is totally Brie! Her love and trust of Sir is unwavering. Even though several challenges face the couple, she truly believes they can survive anything together. I love the lyrics “Even if we are six feet underground, I know that we will be safe and sound…” That expressing exactly how she feels.

Excerpt from Brie Embraces the Heart of Submission (Brie is Treated to a new Challenge):

“Brie, this is going to be a positive experience. There is no need to fear me.”

She swallowed hard, whispering, “The belts frighten me, Sir. I’m not sure why.”

He slid the privacy partition closed, stating, “Then this is a necessary lesson, Brie.”

Her heart began to race as he ordered, “Take off everything, including your panties, but leave the skirt on.”

She undressed and felt her nipples grow hard. Out of fear or exhilaration? She couldn’t tell.

Sir adjusted the seat so that it leaned back at a forty-five degree angle. “Kneel on the chair, ankles at the edge, wrists resting against each armrest.”

There was a mirror on the back wall. It faced a similar mirror above the TV screen on the opposite side. Not only did it give the small area a sense of more openness, it also allowed her to look at herself and gave her a limited view of Sir.

He picked up the first belt. Brie expected that he would fold it in half to spank her with it. Instead, he knelt down and secured her right ankle to the chair.

Brie looked into the mirror and smiled. Belts as restraints!

She glanced down to watch as he belted her ankle into place. These belts were specially modified, with holes created just for this purpose. It made her wet to think of Sir altering the belts as he contemplated how he would use them on her.

He was quick to belt her other ankle and both wrists. The fifth belt went around her waist. Brie was unsure of its purpose, but the possessive feel of having his belt cinched around her made her loins hot.

When he picked up the sixth belt, she noticed it was wider than the others. Brie bit her lip as he placed the belt around her neck and tightened it. It was loose enough to feel comfortable, but restrictive enough to keep her aware of its presence.

She looked in the mirror and saw Sir’s reflection staring back at her. She was covered in Master’s belts. It was an erotic feeling, being bound by Sir like this.

“Who are you?”

“Téa.”

“Who owns you?”

“You do, Master.”

Sir undid his tie and rolled up his sleeves. Keeping eye contact with her, he unbuckled the belt around his waist and slowly pulled it out of the belt loops. Brie let out a tiny gasp, her helplessness and fear somehow accumulating into something deliciously thrilling.

“Not a sound,” he commanded as he lifted her skirt.

"Demons" by Imagine Dragons

This incredible song speaks to Sir’s anguish. He wants Brie, but believes he is too damaged emotionally to be a good Master to her. Even after the collaring, he struggles with those terrible demons from his past, both living and dead…

Excerpt from Brie Embraces the Heart of Submission (Sir Explains His Harsh Reaction):

He brushed her cheek lightly. “You said something, Brie…something my mother used to say to my father. You couldn’t have known. I do not blame you.”

She wanted to speak, but he put his finger to her lips.

“I told you once that I am undecided about fate. I do not know if your words are meant as a warning or a challenge to me.”

She shook her head in protest.

He leaned forward and kissed her on the forehead. “I am taking it as a challenge. I have never dealt with my past. You are forcing me to face it straight on.”

When Sir took his finger from her lips, she told him, “I didn’t mean to hurt you.”

“I know. It was said in love, but what are the chances you would answer with her words?”

“I would never hurt you in that way, Sir,” she declared passionately.

“And that is where the quandary lies, for I am certain my mother would have said the same thing in the beginning.”

Brie was hurt that he was comparing her to his mother—hinting that she would end up betraying him. She tried to pull away, but Sir grasped her arm. “Brie, in my head I know you are not the same, but right now…” He let go then, and turned away from her.

With fear and trepidation, she asked, “Sir, what are you saying?”

He looked back at her, the expression on his face uncharacteristically open and unguarded. “Time. I need time, Brie.”

She caressed his masculine jaw, rough with stubble. Smiling through her tears, Brie answered, “Sir, we are condors. We have a lifetime to find our way.”

"You are Mine" by Mute Math

Faelan’s obession of Brie becomes an all-encompassing need so great that it even infiltrates Brie’s dreams. He cannot accept her  final choice of Master at her graduation and begins his pursuit of her outside the Center—despite the collar around her neck. “You are Mine” perfectly describes his mindset.

Excerpt from Brie Embraces the Heart of Submission (Brie Dreams of Serving Faelan):

He handed her a note, and then left her on the dance floor alone. She opened the red envelope and read the words: Meet your Master in the library.

 Brie kissed it, then fairly skipped off the dance floor, thrilled by his summons. She sauntered down the large hallway and took a deep breath before opening the large wooden door of the library.

The room was dark except for the crackling fire burning brightly on the opposite side of the room. The light of the flames glimmered off the covers of thousands of books lining the walls, and silhouetted the high-backed chairs and the table positioned near the fireplace.

Brie did not see anyone in the room, but shut the door quietly and headed towards the fire, intoxicated by the unknown.

“Stop.”

She held herself still, melting at the sound of his voice. Two figures appeared from the shadows—a man wearing a crimson mask, and another with a black mask that complemented his silver hair.

“We are going to play a game, pet.”

Brie’s heart skipped a beat. His games always proved challenging. “Yes, Master.”

The gentleman in the dark mask sat down while her Master moved up behind Brie. His warm breath tickled her neck. “But first, I must undress you.”

She felt his hands at the back of her neck as he unzipped her dress and let it pool at her feet. She had been instructed not to wear a bra or panties, so she stood naked except for her high heels before the two men.

“She has lovely breasts,” she heard the stranger say.

“That’s not all that is lovely about her,” her Master answered, slipping his hand between her legs. She felt his middle finger press into her, causing her to moan softly.

He growled in her ear. “The rules of the game are simple. He watches and directs. You do as he says.”

Brie nodded in understanding, goosebumps covering her skin despite the warmth of the fireplace. What will be asked of me?

“I want her bound to the table.”

Brie looked at the table and noticed for the first time the glint of metal.

"Wicked Game" version by Stone Sour

Oh my goodness, this song was so Faelan (AKA Blue Eyes, Mr. Wallace, the boy…) He totally and completely fell in love with Brie, fighting his way out of his depression to be the person she needed. Unfortunately, he could not accept that she did not return his feelings. It made for a tragic character I adore. I slowly revealed his past and his obsessive personality. All the while, knowing the incredible man locked within the walls of his own hell.

Excerpt from Brie Embraces the Heart of Submission (Faelan Reveals his Struggle):

“Brie, I have lived every day since then imprisoned inside walls of guilt and self-hatred. It ruined any chance at a normal life and I often wished I was dead. Until you happened.”

She shook her head. “I didn’t do anything.”

He smiled at her. “The day you fell into my arms I felt a spark of life, a connection. Then when I saw you at the beach and realized what you were training to be, everything fell into place. I knew I was meant to be your Dom and I was single-minded in my quest to win you over. Even Davis agreed. Why else would he allow me to join the training, take me under his wing and give me additional lessons? Why?”

“I don’t know. I can’t answer that.”

“Of course you can’t,” he said in a reasonable voice. “Because you and I are meant to be together.”

“No! I did my best not to lead you on,” she protested.

“But it made me want you all the more. You felt the chemistry between us, you can’t deny it.”

“Chemistry does not equal love—”

“We hardly had any time together, Brie. I am certain if we spent quality time together, you would feel differently.”

Brie growled in frustration. “You’re not thinking straight. I have already made my decision. There is no going back now. That’s the problem. You’re so sure about things that you never listen.”

He held up his hands in agreement. “Okay. You’re right. Go ahead; it’s your turn to talk. I’m listening.”

Brie knew her words would not be easy for Faelan to hear, but she needed to be completely honest with him. “Yes, it’s true. I felt an attraction towards you, but my heart was already taken. Even I didn’t realize how completely until the night of the ceremony.”

“You said ‘felt’, as if it’s in the past. Are you saying you don’t feel attracted to me now? Can you honestly say that?” he insisted.

“There you go again… Listen to me, Mr. Wallace. I am in love with someone else. I have already chosen the man I will serve. I’m sorry about what happened to you in the past, truly I am. But it doesn’t change anything. You have to move on.”

He shook his head and smiled sadly. “Brie, you and I never had time to get to know each other on a personal level. I want that. I want you to know the real me. Reject me if you must, but do it with a full understanding of who I am. Do not base it on a few encounters during a couple of scenes.”

“Something for the Pain” by Redlight King

This song was a go-to for me throughout the Brie series. It speaks to the allure of skillfully delivered pain to take away the anguish when life gets too difficult to bear. I tended to think of Marquis Gray when I listened to the lyrics—he started his special brand of “therapy” at the tender young age of thirteen.

Excerpt from Brie Embraces the Heart of Submission (Flogging Session with Marquis)

Lea quickly peeled off her clothes and knelt down gracefully. While she was undressing, Marquis took off his shirt and went to the table Brie had set up to pick out a flogger. He grabbed a large black one. “First, we warm the skin.”

Lea nodded to signify her understanding.

Marquis swung the flogger slowly in a sideways figure eight pattern, lightly slapping her back with the soothing flogger. Brie knew the feel of it. It looked scary because of its size and many tendrils, but it was made of supple leather that was actually soft to the touch.

The sounds of light thudding and Lea’s satisfied sighs filled the small room. Brie’s own skin tingled in wistful anticipation. The thuds became louder as he increased the force of impact.

“Color, Lea.”

“Green, Marquis. It feels like a warm massage.”

The Dom put down the large flogger after several minutes, then picked up one that had fewer tendrils that were also thinner in width. “Now that the skin is warm, I’ll increase the sensation.”

Brie noticed that Lea’s skin was lightly blushed. She did a quick close-up so it would be apparent to the viewer.

When she pulled back, she caught Marquis in graceful motion. He used fluid, solid strokes with the thinner, more challenging flogger. He concentrated on the left side of Lea’s back and then moved over to the right, always precise, aiming for the fleshier areas of her skin.

“So beautiful,” he murmured under his breath.

Brie saw Lea’s muscles stiffen and then eventually relax as her body become accustomed to the more demanding strokes. Her friend’s satisfied moans caused Brie to roll her eyes as a trickle of wetness escaped her soaked panties. I really should have brought a towel…

KINKY LOWDOWN with Red Phoenix

You can take 5 items/men/women to a fully catered desert island – what/who would you take? 

Hubby, flogger, Tono of Brie Learns the Art of Submission, plenty of jute, and the Hitachi MAGIC WAND

Most inappropriate thing you’ve done in public? If it was illegal, did you get caught? J

Sex, of course! And no, we did not get caught because that’s how we roll. ;)

Do you have a favourite author(s)? Who is it/are they?

As a person and author, Kallypso Masters. Such an inspiration and sweetie to all.

Purely as a writer I have to go old school and say John Steinbeck, Charles Dickens

How did you start your writing career?

I was in a state of transition and took on writing as a hobby while I figured out what to do with my life.

Which character was the hardest to write and why? 

Varick, of Varick the Reluctant. His character has been haunting me since I was a teenager, a vampire stuck in a world he despises but must survive in. His struggles symbolize experiences in my own life and is so dark that I struggle delving into his world.

Who’s your favourite character? And what would let him/her do to you in the Dungeon?

This is a hard one… I love so many of my characters. I will go out on a limb and say Dan of Blissfully Undone. Even though he is not into the lifestyle, Dan is one creative lover. I would delight in seeing what he would do in the Dungeon setting. I would give him free rein over my body and see what he comes up with. 

If you write under an alias/Nome de plume, how do you deal with being addressed by that name?

Love it! I live and breathe Red Phoenix and even have a car with my name painted on her. (2014 Mustang GT, California Style) She is hot and stylish, just like me. ;)

What made you decide to pick an alias?

Having kids in high school and a hubby with a conservative job, I did not want my work to negatively affect them in any way.

What was it about kink that made you choose the genre?

My hubby and I have explored so much in the bedroom and I wanted to share that joy with others through my writing.

What extent do you go to, to research for what you write?

As much as possible, I try to experience what I write. If I cannot experience it myself, I find out from other women what it feels like and why they enjoy certain activities.

Do you have a favourite item to write about? (or use? J)

Favorite item to use: The Hitachi MAGIC WAND, baby!!! Pure torture and pleasure

Favorite item to write about: Jute and the delicious art of Kinbaku

Dom or sub?     

Sub all the way. I would like to try submitting to Rytsar of Brie Embraces the Heart of Submission and see if he could really condition me to enjoy his brand of “play”.

Leather or Lace?

Lace, but damn I love leather too!

Silk or hemp?

Jute. ;)

If you weren’t an author, what would you have ended up doing?

Probably find a way to teach in some capacity. I love people and I love encouraging them to aspire to greater things.

Do you have any rituals/habits when you write?

Coffee, Red Bull and Vodka - depends on the time of day. [grin]

Is there anything on your current/upcoming release schedule?

The final in my Love Endures series, which is written under a different pen name, Michelle Stevens, because it is pure romance with a spiritual twist.

I have also announced the third in the Brie series is coming. I have just begun that project and will share the release date as soon as I know.

Where are your books available?

Amazon, B&N, iTunes, Smashwords, Kobo, and the audio book of Brie Learns the Art of Submission is available on Audible.
