Surprise!
When you’re
married to someone, you probably think you know them very well. You’ve been
through the whole dating thing, and now you’re sharing a life, so what could
they possibly say or do that would surprise you?
But no matter
how well we know someone, they can still surprise us. A gift, a suggestion of a
date or activity, or trying something new in bed—or out of it—can be completely
unexpected. And sometimes when we think we know our partner as well as we
possibly could, it’s good to have things shaken up a little.
In my novella Knot Intended, Nolie and Joseph consider
each other soulmates, and Nolie believes she knows all there is to know about
her mild-mannered husband. But when he suggests sexual roleplaying to address
some staleness in their marriage, Nolie is completely taken off-guard. And the
lengths Joseph goes to in order to fulfill Nolie’s fantasy are far beyond
anything she would have guessed he’d be willing to do.
Being married
does mean knowing a lot about each other, but sometimes it’s good to surprise
your partner. It might make things better than you could imagine.
Knot Intended releases November 18 from
Loose Id, http://www.loose-id.com/knot-intended.html.
Here’s the blurb and a short excerpt:
Nolie and Joseph
have a good marriage. They're still in love, have everything they need, and
their careers are in good shape. But lately their sex life and time together
has taken a back seat. One morning, Joseph brings up the changes in their sex
life and expresses a desire to spice things up. With his encouragement, Nolie
confesses her darkest fantasy: Being kidnapped, bound, and "forced"
to have sex with her "captor."
She assumes
Joseph will forget the fantasy or decide it's better off left as something to
talk about, but a week later, Joseph brings Nolie's fantasy into reality. Nolie
is not only excited about the role play, but Joseph's willingness to fulfill
her fantasy reminds her of how much they love each other and how much priority
they need to put on their marriage.
EXCERPT:
Nolie wet her
lips again.
Joseph stepped
back. “Thirsty?”
“Yes.” She
looked at him, pleading. “I really need water. I’m feeling lightheaded.”
“You’re just a
scared little whore.” He set the belt on the bed, went to the minifridge
beneath the TV, and took out two bottles of water. “You’re lucky I’m thirsty
too. Otherwise I wouldn’t give a shit what you thought.”
Nolie knew
better. No matter how deeply into character Joseph was, he wouldn’t let her
faint from dehydration. She decided she was better off not arguing with him,
though.
He opened one of
the bottles and held it to her lips far more gently than she would have
expected. As he tipped the bottle, she drank nearly half the contents before
she leaned back to let Joseph know she was finished.
He drained the
rest of the bottle, then tossed it toward the trash, setting the remaining
bottle on the bureau. “Back to fun now,” he said. He picked up the belt again
and ran the buckle down each of Nolie’s arms.
She shivered at
the light, tickling touch.
“Sexy bitch,”
Joseph murmured. “Nice toned arms. I wonder what you’d do if I smacked them.”
He tapped the belt on her left bicep.
“I’m not into
pain,” Nolie said.
“I didn’t give
you the choice, did I?” He raised the belt and brought it down but stopped
before it touched her skin. “You’d best remember who’s in charge here, got it?”
“Got it.”
Adrenaline coursed through Nolie’s veins, and she breathed deeply, trying to
slow her racing heart. For a moment she’d believed Joseph really would hit her.
She still wasn’t entirely convinced he wouldn’t.
