Face Your Demons

Today you will pick out your signifier from the deck (don’t have one? Check here!)

 Use this card to look at the two sides of you - both good and bad.

 Write a story that involves them fighting, physically, mentally or emotionally. 

Today there are no rules for writing. This one is all on you.


This was interesting for me because I haven't thought about signifier cards. I did some research and chose to shuffle my check and let the spirits guide me to an appropriate card. Gaia (The Empress) is what was chosen for me.

For as long as she could remember Gaia had always held two sides. She fought with incredible strength to keep her positive self front and center but sometimes the depression fought its way through and took over. The power was so strong it'd leave her breathless. She'd turn into a crumble heap on the floor succumbing to it.

She was known for peace, love, new beginnings. How could she be held to such a standard when behind closed doors she was a wreck? In tears she fought to stay to strong. Her people needed a leader. Gaia had felt hurt after she lost the love of her life.

She felt hopeless, fear of being alone too strong for her resist. Her fate seemed decided for her. Destined to be alone. She struggled to be happy. All she wanted was to feel happy and full of life again. She thought back to their final moments together.

***
She was in tears as she packed away the last of her things. The other woman lay in her bed. Her bed with her husband. How did things get to this point? How did she end up alone leaving making it so easy for the new woman to just stomp on her ground?

The woman gave her a snarky look as she finished putting her things in the car, the only thing left behind was her heart. She doubted she'd ever heal fully from the loss. As she drove down the long winding driveway, she knew she was better off not looking back.

***

Looking back Gaia smiled as she realized how strong she truly was. She had the power to be happy and by leaving the relationship she found true strength. Her beauty radiated as she promised herself from this day on she would live towards her future and stop revisiting her past.

Sophia and The Duke

Title: Sophia and The Duke
Author: Jaye Peaches
Publisher: Stormy Night Publications
ASIN: B013TSTL54
Pages: 141
Rating: 4 *'s

Synopsis: After the passing of her husband, the elderly Duke of Brokenhurst, twenty-two-year-old Sophia chafes at her family’s expectations during her lengthy mourning period. When she is free to re-emerge in society at last, at her grandmother’s insistence she entertains the courtship of Nathaniel Hartwell, a distant cousin of the old duke and the man next in line for the title. 

To her shock, Sophia learns that Nathaniel has spent the last eight years living as a trapper and fur trader in the mountains of Canada, isolating himself from the world after the tragic death of the woman he loved. Though he is a rough, uncivilised man, his devilishly handsome looks and commanding presence excite her in a way nothing ever has before. 

Sophia sets out to transform the new duke into someone suitable for polite society, but when her comments become disrespectful and mocking Nathaniel takes issue with her behaviour. Almost before she knows it, she is over his lap and her aristocratic bottom has been bared for a sound spanking. 

Knowing that it is the right choice for all concerned, Nathaniel asks her to be his wife, but despite the fact that their marriage begins as one of convenience he is determined to show Sophia the intense pleasure a strong man’s dominant lovemaking can bring her. Though her spoiled attitude occasionally earns her a bright red, well-spanked bottom, as the weeks pass her desire for him grows ever stronger. But can love truly bridge the gulf between people from such different worlds? 

Publisher’s Note: Sophia and the Duke is an erotic romance novel that includes spankings, sexual scenes, anal play, and more. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book.

My Review: I usually stray away from historical novels because I find them slow and boring. Sophia and The Duke kept me wrapped in its pages from the beginning. I love watching Sophia try to transform Nathaniel into a man fit for society. Sophia and The Duke is a perfect example of what happens when people from two different worlds come together and try to make a relationship last.

What starts as a relationship of convenience turns into a budding romance full of lust, spankings, and the need to be wanted. This is my first book that I've read by Peaches but it sure won't be my last! Peaches has a way of writing that draws you despite the fact that the genre may be out of your comfort zone.

Becoming Daddy's Girl

Title: Becoming Daddy's Girl (Daddy's Girl Series, Book Four)
Author: Normandie Alleman
Publisher: Stormy Night Publications
ASIN: B0163ADARK
Pages: 204
Rating: 5 *'s

Synopsis: When Kimberly’s boss, Charles, deploys to Iraq before she can admit that she’s fallen in love with him, she intends to do her best to let him go and move on with her life, but everything changes after Charles suffers a near-fatal injury and comes home temporarily to recuperate. 

Wounded or not, Charles isn’t going to let a girl like Kimberly slip through his fingers, and he doesn’t hesitate to let her know how he feels. She responds beautifully to his dominant lovemaking, and her willingness to submit to him only increases his desire for her. But when duty sends Charles back overseas, will it tear them apart or can Kimberly’s love for her daddy withstand the storms of war until he comes home and she can be his little girl again?

It includes spankings, sexual scenes, elements of BDSM, and more. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book.

My Review: Once again Alleman blows us away. She has the ability to suck us into her stories. We know for certain we'll cry, scream, kick, and definitely be turned on. Becoming Daddy's Girl is about longing and discovery. For Kimberly finding out her boss is leaving for Iraq leaves her devastated. She has longed to tell him of her true feelings but held back because of his personal situation.

When Charles almost dies after only being away for a short time he comes to realize that his heart has been with Kimberly all along. He craves to be the strong Daddy she wants. He knows that they can make if they can just survive an ocean away from each other.

Alleman has a unique writing style that focuses more on a story-line and feelings rather than the sex. The best part of this prequel is that we get a taste of other characters in the Daddy's series. I cannot wait to see what the next book will bring. As always, these can be read as standalone novels but you gather more from reading the series.

Face Your Demons: October 3

For today’s challenge you will be writing a story about corruption.
 The rules are simple: 
1. Find the two cutest characters in your deck. 
2. Write a story about their corruption. 
3. Include three onomatopoeias 
4. Use the line “And that’s how they fell” or “And that’s how we fell” depending on your POV


John was weary of traveling. He had been succesfully hiding his true identity bouncing from realm to realm. He knew the beautiful woman upon the stage was out of his reach but he longed to have her. She moved gracefully around the stage, it would only be a moment before the sharp surge of pain would hit and he'd be back upon his ship.

He felt himself shaking. Tick-tock, tick-tock. As the sharp snap in started low in spine the familiar sensation would hit. He was back with his crew members. He risked being stuck between realms if he ever developed an intimate relationship with her. Lyssa. He went to every show knowing the risks of traveling in between shows.

He vowed the next show he would speak to her. It was worth the risks to watch her small frame move effortlessly around the stage. At the stroke of midnight he'd be back in her realm.

John had been traveling for as long as he could remember. Cursed by the wizard to remain a pirate for eternity. That wasn't the worst, the worst was when he'd travel and have to figure out what time period he was in. He hadn't been able to grasp the handle of traveling on his own. Instead he was cursed to travel whenever the wizard decided. This was his curse for loving the wizard's daughter.

***

Lyssa had noticed the strange man in the crowd. He attended every show that she had. She would move in motion knowing that behind the curtain her manager waited for her. He took her in when her father abandoned her. He blamed her for her mother's death. Pier saw promise in her and paid for her to learn how to be an acrobat. She never knew that she'd be owned like a possession though.

As the last show for the night came to a close, Pier was already pulling her behind the curtain. His breath reeked of alcohol and she braced herself for the first blow. He never hit her face though, that was his prize after all.

***
As the show came to a close John headed backstage to talk to Lyssa in person. He heard a harsh slap in the background followed by a whimper. Withdrawing he sword with a loud swoosh, he moved swiftly to investigate what happened.

Lyssa was rubbing her cheek and a man was lying on the ground in a pool of blood. Her tiny frame shook as she sobbed. "I couldn't take it anymore. I've been so lonely for long and wanted to be free." The large stone prop proved heavy enough to kill the man. Grabbing Lyssa I placed a soft kiss upon her head reassuring her that it would be okay. I would take care of this task for her, for us. To free myself from the curse and dedicate my love to my sweet Lyssa. 

Two lost souls reunited only a world away and that's how they fell. How they tumbled down the rabbit hole with a love so fierce, it struck both of them as oddly familiar. It was as if they had met in another lifetime. Free from his curse, he now only dresses up as a pirate for the opening act.



Face Your Demons October 1st

Elsie or Lily (She goes by either) is hosting a Face Your Demons Tarot Challenge over at her Tumblr page Something Inspirational. I am going to do a few catch up posts as I just stumbled upon this. You'll find duplicate posts here and over at Nichols Reviews as it is a writing challenge.

The purpose of this challenge isn't only to get your creative juices flowing but also to help you interact more with your Tarot cards. This is something I've been wanting to dive back into plus I enjoy writing when the muses hit anyways.

Stories are posted every odd day (1.3.5.7 etc) so I am going to get caught up on the 1st and 3rd storylines.



Today's story revolves around your relationship with the devil and how he effects your (or your character's life).

Rules: 
1. Take from your deck (or mine) the Devil card from the Major Arcana and meditate on what he means to you.
 2. Write a story from a first-person point of view. 
3. You must include the phrase “This is my demon, my personal devil.” in your story.


I watched from afar as she eyed me. Batting my eyes I knew that I wanted to get to know her. I had always imagined what her touch would be like caressing my skin. She held the rose, the key to knowing who she would choose to take to her room tonight. I came to these parties hoping for a chance. I ran my hands over my skirt trying to smooth out the wrinkles. Adjusting my mask I headed into the crowd in search of her.

The music at His & Hers pulsed through me. I knew I could get her to choose me, I just needed to be bolder. The flamboyant costume she wore made no sense in a BDSM club. The harsh crack of leather surrounded me. Women were submitting to their masters. I ached for someone to own me, to possess me.

"My mirror tells all. I can see the lust in your eyes little one." the soft voice behind me paused taking time to tweak one of my nipples, the silk material of my blouse stretching. "come with me, you've been chosen. I own you now."

I knew I had chosen my fate the moment I stepped into His & Hers. This is my demon, my personal hell. I would belong to Madam Bella Rosa forever more.
