Chasing Chelsea (24 page)
Authors: Maren Smith
T
he 101 room was packed full of people and Chelsea was waiting at the head of it, standing on the stage for all to see her. Flogging was the sign on the door, and she was nervous as hell. She didn’t know what that might entail, but there was a giant wooden X on the stage behind her and every time she looked at it, all she could think about was the medieval punishment by the same name. She really, really hoped that wasn’t what was about to happen to her, because the very idea of it was scary as hell. It didn’t sound fun at all, but then, neither did a lot of the “classes” on the 101 list she’d been given. Spanking—okay, she’d liked that one. But flogging and caning? Sensory deprivation? High protocol—what the heck was that? Tomorrow she was scheduled for two classes on forced orgasms. On Friday, it was ice and food play. On Sunday, she was getting waxed. That couldn’t possibly be what it sounded like.
A shiver—part fear, part thrill—shuddered through her. She could worry about those classes later. Right now, she had to get through flogging.
Her very first 101. She didn’t want to back out. She wanted to do a good job so Marshall wouldn’t have cause to regret his leniency, but her knees were shaking and she couldn’t stop looking at the clock on the wall. They were a few minutes late getting started already. She had no idea where the new permanent 101 instructor was, or even who he was, but she hoped he was nice. She hoped he was gentle, too, and that he’d take it easy on her, at least to start. She hoped—
The door to the room flung open with a bang and Kade came striding in. “Yar har, me mateys. There be a disobedient wench in this room who needs settin’ to rights, and I mean to have her beggin’ me fer mercy a-fore the hour is through.”
Chelsea almost lost her composure to a very Selena-like shriek. She clapped both hands over her mouth to keep it back.
His eyes, so dark and hot, stayed locked with hers as he marched down through the well-packed audience. He hopped both steps to land on the stage beside her. “Hello, Red.”
“You’re the new 101 instructor?” She stared at him in equal measures of joy and disbelief. “Selena said you quit.”
“Yeah, well.” His dark eyes drank her in. “As it turns out, there might just be something to hold me here after all.”
The suggestive curl of his mouth made her heart skip.
Looking only at her, Kade raised his voice to address the guests who sat watching and waiting before them. “Today’s lesson is flogging. I’m going to walk you through the pleasures, the pain, the positions and the mindset that—from warm up to finish—make this one of the most alluring scenes in the whole of BDSM, particularly when the submissive involved loves and trusts her Dom.”
Her stomach quivered, yielding a delicious bloom of heat that spread out on liquid waves to tickle at her clitoris and dampen her sex.
Lowering his voice again, Kade asked, “Do you trust me, Red?”
Her heart gave another fluttering leap. “Yes, Master Kade.”
She was glad he’d asked the latter. She didn’t know if she was brave enough yet to admit to the former.
He held out his hand, palm up, steady for her to take. His voice was a tangle of dark silk, soothing her even as it tied her up from the inside out. “Don’t be afraid.”
“Of the big bad wolf?” She was trembling when she took his hand, but the way his strong fingers pulled her in, safe and close, gave her all the courage she needed to lift her chin and say, loud enough for everyone there to hear, “I just might be more than you can handle.”
He was so very dangerous, more so than any other man she had ever known. Damn near deadly, if only just to her. His smile grew. “Challenge accepted.”
She hoped it always would be.
The End.
“Hi, I'm Maren. I'm 30, married to a wonderful, dominant man, and have five four–legged children: two dogs and three cats. I love strong, authoritative men–men who are both ready and willing to leave the lady of their choosing red–bottomed and weeping and for her own good. Writing has given me the wonderful freedom to explore my spanking side without feeling 'weird.' Even better, with the invention of the Internet, I can write what I love and know it will be appreciated by people with the same interest

Kaylee’s Keeper (Book Two of Masters of the Castle)
By Maren Smith
Welcome to The Castle.
Kaylee Waters has saved her pennies for almost two years, mentally debated for six months, changed her mind no less than two-dozen times and finally purchased a three-day pass to what promised to be the vacation of a lifetime: The Castle, the kinkiest theme-resort-to-end-all-vacation-resorts.
So what if she'd fibbed a little on her online application? (Everyone does!) So what if she'd never "actually" engaged in BDSM before? (She's thought about it a lot.) So what if she'd never even been spanked? (She's read tons of books.) This was the Castle, after all, and it promised to change everything. Unfortunately, her first scenario is a catastrophe and sends her from the room in tears, only to be sent to Master Marshall's office - like a bad girl sent before the principal.
Marshall Leaf, founding partner of The Castle, has seen a lot in the three years since the resort opened, but Ms. Kaylee Waters pretty much takes the prize. As far as he can determine, the only truthful thing on her application is her name, and he's not even completely sure about that. She lied so heinously about her past experiences (which are exactly zilch) that what he should do is refund her money and put her on a fast bus home. Instead, for reasons he can't quite understand, he gives her the first spanking of her life, and then sends her back out into the resort. He doesn't give a damn whether she wanted the spanking or not: it was exactly what she needed.
Kaylee should be ecstatic. She's already gotten a spanking, and The Castle is perfect: everything she's dreamed
of - and more. She can be anything she wants: sassy maid, naughty schoolgirl, bad "baby" in the nursery, captured princess in the dungeon. But, even though the ice has been broken, why isn't she still fitting in anywhere? Why does everything just feel wrong? Why does she break the rules again and again, and find herself right back in Master Marshall's office?
Why indeed?

Sweet Sinclair (Book 4 of Masters of the Castle)
By Maren Smith
Since a competing sweet shop opened its doors, things have not gone well for Sinclair's candy shop, Maybe's Candy. Business was slowing, her finances were dropping and no matter what she does she just can't think of any way to get her business back on top. Even the one highlight of her week - that moment when handsome Parker Johnson, a man she had been flirting with for over a year, came to buy his usual bag of caramels - even that wasn't much of a treat. How could it be when Sinclair already knew something was wrong with him? She couldn't quite put her finger on what it was - was he married, gay, or a homicidal maniac? But a guy just didn't show that much interest in a girl and then not ask her out, at least not without a good reason. And Parker most definitely had not asked her out.
Then, an unexpected ray of good luck: From out of the blue, she's offered a job. All she has to do is cater a lavish candy party - one day, 900 people, and her store would be financially set all the way through summer.
The only catch? The venue is a place called the Castle, a fantasy BDSM resort inhabited by some of the hottest Masters she has ever met. And one of them just happens to be Parker, the same man she's been drooling over for the last year.
What a coincidence! Or is it? Sinclair always knew there was something wrong with him. What she didn't
know, was how he could make WRONG feel so wonderfully RIGHT.
