She Wields a Mean Whip...


Happy Thursday from Cassandre Dayne. Some call me wicked while others call me willful. The truth is I have many sides to me from playful to naughty, sensuous to gentle and yet what most like to see me as is a Domme. I tend to write about more characters in which the women are subs in the relationship. Perhaps that's because I have a bent personally that is more submissive. However I do look good in leather with a whip in my hand. But that's an entirely different story. Or is it?

In penning Bad Things - the trilogy, I decided I would take the concept of exploring my rather dark Domme side out for a sexy spin. Anastasia is a tough woman, having lived in a man's tough world and owning what some would call a deprived business deep in the heart of the conservative and very religious South. Bad Things is a club catering to every level of kink you can imagine and the customers might just surprise you. She's also a member of a Were Tiger Pride, and one being targeted by not only human monsters but those who truly do go snarl in the night. Releasing today, I hope you enjoy a taste of Bad Things - Hunger. Oh and be very, very afraid...

BAD THINGS - HUNGER


At precisely eight-thirty Anastasia heard Jasmine’s lilting voice as it floated into her office. The girl was always enthusiastic with new clients but she seemed somehow a bit more so tonight. Chuckling, she thought about just how hard she was going to whip the girl for her desires. She waited as patiently as she could as she heard Jasmine follow through with her routine, showing the newbie around their office. While only accepted clients were allowed to see the rooms behind the majority of the closed doors, they were allowed access to the quaint session rooms and the main salon which was adored with a fully stocked bar, plush seating, a computer the guests could use and of course all the media they could handle.
It was her way of keeping them playing in the sandbox for longer. The information Devon found on Trenton proved to be more than useful. He had a colorful past and one might say a touch dubious. He certainly had shied away from his previous life marrying an upper crust socialite from one of the best families in Charleston. Anastasia couldn’t help but wonder what mommy and daddy would say about their son-in-law’s admitted hungers.
She licked her lips and stood, smoothing down her silk dress. She’d changed into red, her signature and power color, and made sure she wore her tallest heels. Anastasia was after all the woman in ultimate charge. Even if Christian Sowers believed he was. As she heard Jasmine’s voice edging closer, Anastasia turned off the main light so only the ambient glow of her torch lamps filtered throughout the room. The effect always seemed to sooth clients who were at minimum nervous at first. Tonight she suspected Trenton Parker would be cool as a cucumber as least in the beginning.
She knew all too well that the sessions not only titillated but terrified many. Each man and woman tended to be very honest on their applications and sometimes brutally so. They were asked key questions to really learn what were the truths and lies and in almost a hundred percent of the cases she was very accurate. Unfortunately many weren’t truly ready to have all their fantasies fulfilled, which became a constant worry.
“Mistress Anastasia. We have our expected visitor.” Jasmine’s voice carried into the room.
Anastasia turned slowly and instantly knew the stunning man was the very one she and Kristoff tracked a few nights before by the combination of his scents alone. He was indeed breathtaking with his shoulder length dark hair and either Italian or Puerto Rican decent. She could easily see why Jasmine was as smitten with the man as she was. There was something about his ruby full lips, made for kissing, that even gave her a thrill. Gazing down the length of his body she could sense he was a man of style and enjoyed living the finer aspect of life. He was also nervous given the heightened level of testosterone he was giving off. “Mr. Parker.” She knew she had the advantage with the dimmer lights but she could see every hair and every tic he made given her keen vision.
“Trenton, yes,” he said as he gazed around the office.
“That will be all for now, Jasmine and thank you. I’ll let you know my decision in a few minutes after I’ve had time to ask Mr. Parker some questions.”
“Very good, Mistress.” Jasmine nodded before retreating back. She gave Trenton a cautious look before closing the door.
Trenton let out his breath and turned to face Anastasia. “She’s as beautiful up close as I imagined she’d be.”
“She is a true delight and I couldn’t do this without her. I understand you’re an attorney and work in the building?”
“Yes, I’m a partner in Braxton, Parker and Sampson.”
“Please come and sit so we can talk more comfortably. Can I offer you a drink?” Anastasia purred as she patted the top of the leather sofa.
“That would be wonderful,” he said quietly as he moved to the couch.
“What would you like, Mr. Parker and please, there’s no need to be nervous.”
“Who said I was nervous?’
“Your shaking legs and the musky scent of your wafting desire.”
Choking, Trenton eased down onto the sofa and wrung his hands. “Okay, you got me and I’ll have whatever very strong alcohol you might have.”
Anastasia smiled. There was something refreshing about the man and for some reason she didn’t think he had any idea about what he was involved in. “Johnny Walker on the rocks?”
The drink of choice seemed to surprise him. Nodding, he grinned, instantly more comfortable. “A woman with discerning tastes.”
“You have no idea, Mr. Parker.” Pouring the drinks she sighed as she handed him a glass. The instant their fingers touched she could tell he was more than hot and bothered and also that he was under duress. “I read from your information you’re married and yet curious about several kinky aspects. Have you talked with your wife?”
“No… yes…” Trenton laughed as he wiped his face. “She’s a sweet and lovely woman but I don’t think my particular needs encourage a strong relationship.”
“Your particular needs. That’s said like you’re ashamed.” Anastasia moved to the couch and as she sat down she kept her eyes pinned on him. The man was nervous as hell.
“I’m not… well, I certainly don’t want to post my desires out on the Internet. That’s for sure.” Taking a sip of his drink he looked at anything and everything but Anastasia.
“Wanting to experience kinky acts isn’t weird or depraved. In truth, my belief is that only few people will allow themselves to fully admit and certainly try what they long for. So many are stymied by what they perceive as a failure of their make up simply because they want something a bit more erotic than perhaps most. But I can assure you that there are few who don’t crave something more than vanilla sex.” As she crossed her legs she watched his expression carefully. Trenton was indeed soul-searching. This might be part of his job but the man wanted much more than what he was getting in the bedroom at home.
“That’s an interesting way of putting it. You’re probably right.”
“Probably? I studied with some of the finest sex therapists in the country and the one thing they taught me is that everyone hides behind a mask. The few who allow their inner beast, if you will, out are much happier,” Anastasia said, choosing her words carefully. Testing him, she couldn’t see a glimmer of any recognition in his eyes, which might allow her time to figure out what was going on.
Nodding, he swirled his drink and finally stole a glance in her direction. “That’s true. That’s very true. I love my wife so please don’t get me wrong but I need more and I wish I was the kind of man who could tell her.”
“And you think Bad Things is going to help you?”


So tell me darling children, do you think I resemble Anastasia just a tiny bit?

Chit Chat and All That! with Benjamin Russell & Chrystian Marrero - Muses Where & How You Get Ideas


Welcome to today's Chit Chat and All That! with, Benjamin Russell and Chrystian Marrero. Both of these gentlemen have a penchant for the, shall we say more unusual and perverse when it comes to writing. So for now I shall leave you all in the safe hands of the Incubus Chronicles creator and the author of Danvers Asylum. 

Hiya everyone, I’m Benjamin Russell, Benji to my “close” friends and I’m here today with my newest NNP friend, Chrystian Marrero, to talk about Muses. It is my pleasure to kick off today’s chit-chat, about a subject near and dear to my heart, by setting the scene for you. For reasons best left unsaid, Chrystian and I got a late start on putting together this blog post. To be honest, when the realization hit us that we needed to get cracking on putting something together, both of our respective Muses decided to take an extended holiday.  Considering the topic we have to discuss, such a Muse brain cramp is either prophetic or ironic – depending on one’s perspective.
Not knowing what else to do, I hit on the idea of holding a séance to help us reawaken our slumbering Muses.  Chrystian’s response to my idea was – “Oh hell, why not.”  So, off we headed to my ‘media room’ to conduct our séance-inspired chit-chat and find our lost Muses.  For those of you who missed my earlier NNP Blog post (click on the embedded link), my “media room”, is resplendent with movie posters of some of my all time favorite porn stars: Vanessa del Rio, John Holmes, Jenna Jameson and the incomparable Linda Lovelace. What can I say; my Muse sometimes needs visual stimulation too.
We cleared a space on the floor in front of the big screen and sat on yoga mats that I keep laying around for emergencies. I dimmed the lights, lit some candles and started the incense to burning.  Oh yeah, I had some music playing in the background, a playlist of mine that included Nickelback, Mary J. Blige, the Black Eye Peas and a few other artists that my Muse likes.  Ok, let’s get this show on the road.  

Benjamin
Hey Chrystian, did you remember to bring the Ouija board?
Chrystian  
Yes, I have it right here.
Benjamin
Great. I hope that between your Muse and mine, we will get an inspirational message on the board. Now, I don’t know about you, but my Muse can be incredibly temperamental.  There are times when she doesn’t want to share me with anyone or anything, not even sleep. When she’s feeling especially creative, she’ll fondle me in my sleep until I wake up with a raging idea throbbing in my head.  Of course, there are other times when she’ll give me the cold shoulder and not talk to me for days. What kind of relationship do you have with your Muse?
Chrystian 
Actually, my Muse is a very playful and complicated thing. It often likes to tease me with a very vague and very cryptic silhouette of an idea whenever I least expect it, and then simply shies away as if it were embarrassed or confused and goes into hiding. Weird, right? So usually, I have to go and try to find my Muse before the idea it gave me slowly fades away. However, it’s still a rather generous Muse, I must say. It always leaves a trail behind so I can hunt it down and capture it again. That’s how all my stories begin, really; in my quest to find my long-lost Muse, guided only by the scattered trail of fragmented ideas it left behind. Nevertheless, eventually I do find it again and we reconcile. That’s when the magic of the story is truly born.
Benjamin
Chrystian, no – that’s not weird, let me tell you about weird.  So you refer to your Muse as “It”, well for sure my Muse is a she.  I’ve even give her a name – Jezebel. She’s a shape-shifter and lately I think she’s turned into a blue bottle-fly.  If you hear something buzzing around your ear, that’ll be her.  I have no idea when she’ll appear. Sometimes I can be exercising, reading a book, listening to some music or here in my media room “meditating” and she’ll just pop an idea into my head. It seems that almost anything can trigger my Jezebel to start playing with me - she goes with the flow.  Hey look the Ouija board is moving – ‘M’, ‘I’, ‘S’.  Hmm, I wonder what that means?
Chrystian 
You’re right, that is weird. M-I-S, I don’t know, maybe there will be more letters.  BTW; thanks for the heads-up about Jezebel, I’ll be on the lookout for her.  One of the things I want to know about your writing process is how do you choose which story you're going to write next? Sometimes writers have many different ideas that could be transformed into several stories, so how do you choose which ideas to listen to, and which get tossed aside?
Benjamin
When Jezebel grabs me by the family jewels - I “always” listen.  I take every story idea she gives and I create a story outline or “outline-thingie” as my friend Bonni Sansom calls it.  My outline format consists of a short story synopsis, brief bios for the main characters and a few sentences on each of the chapters/scenes that Jezebel put in my head.  These outlines are usually about 3-4 pages and they give me a running start when I sit down to start writing the story.
Look at the board, three more letters.  ‘T’-‘R’-‘E’. 
Chrystian 
Now, that gives us M-I-S-T-R-E.  I have an idea, but I’m going to wait before I say anything. Right now, we’re on a roll and I don’t want to upset the proverbial apple cart. Do you ever have trouble deciding what Point of View you want to use for a certain story? Or does the Point of View become clear to you from the minute the Muse starts talking?
Benjamin
Chrystian, when I first started writing, I gravitated to first person POV, it just felt right at the time.  However, lately it seems that Jezebel likes third person omniscient POV the most, because then she can see through all the characters eyes, but the trick is to avoid head-hopping. 
Ok, here comes some more letters, ‘S’-‘S’.  Oh wow, that spells M-I-S-T-R-E-S-S. Damn, Chrystian are you thinking what I’m thinking?
Chrystian
Yep, I think we’re on the same page. All things considered, I guess we shouldn’t be surprised.
Hey, many writers (myself included) often like their characters to share some of their own personal philosophies and ideas, because that way it's a lot easier to sympathize with your own characters and make them feel more realistic and vivid to the reader. Have you ever created a character that goes against this rule? A character that no part of you could ever sympathize with?
Benjamin
Forgive me for laughing my ass off.  Here’s the start of the second word ‘G’-‘I’; that’s funny.  I guess she wanted to make sure we found our Muses. 
My short answer to that question is yes, but it’s a qualified yes.  For story-telling purposes, I try to introduce a certain amount of conflict into a story.  Either emotional conflict, where a character is dealing with some inner-turmoil, or conflict between characters. That means I invariably end up with at least one character in a story that I cannot completely identify with.  How about you, has your Muse ever had create a character that you hated?
Chrystian
I can’t say that it has. My Muse -- ‘It’, as you called it earlier -- has never come up with a character that I can’t relate to at least in some small way. Even John Stephenson, one of the most demented characters I’ve ever worked with, had many things about his personality that resembled mine almost perfectly. Oh, and one thing I’ve been meaning to ask: your Muse, Jezebel (yeah, you’re right, that is very weird), has she ever come up with something that you felt you couldn’t write? Something that was maybe too difficult to put into words or too big to wrap your head around?  
Benjamin
Chrystian, no – not yet. However, since Jezebel and I have this love-hate relationship, sort of like most of my relationships. I’m sure there will come a day when she torments me with some outrageous scenario that blows my mind. 
Another letter – ‘N’.  Now we have M-I-S-T-R-E-S-S G-I-N.  Duh, I am at a loss for words.
Chrystian
You mentioned earlier that sometimes your Muse turns her back on you and doesn't talk to you for days. When she does, what do you do to bring her back? Or do you simply wait it out and give her time to come back on her own?
Oh, and I almost forgot! Where did the name Jezebel come from?
Benjamin
Well, I’ve found through trial and error, that the best way for me to get Jezebel to come back and give me some love is to woo her. Sometimes that means taking her out to dinner at a fancy restaurant and treating us to a gourmet meal.  She also really likes it when we cuddle up and watch a movie together; that generally gets her creative juices to flowing.  However, the one thing that never fails to perk her up, when I read her a bedtime story.  Yep, a glass of wine and a hot book/story by one of the writers from Naughty Night Press works every time.  Oh yessss, I can almost guarantee that after I read her one of those sexy tales, Jezebel will be spooned up to me all night while she whispers new ideas in my ear.
You asked where did the name Jezebel come from? Well, to make a long story short, I found her while doing research for a series of paranormal erotica stories I’m working on called the Incubus Chronicles. Jezebel is a shape-shifting Wiccan and a Succubus High Priestess. She is one of the major characters in the series and she is also the mentor to a certain tormented Incubus.  My Muse has a bad habit of arousing me in my dreams. She also is prone to wake me up in the middle of the night with new ideas, so it seemed only fitting that I’d give her the name of a succubus – Jezebel.  
Chrytian, look - ‘A’.  Well, I do believe our Ouija Board is trying to tell us something.  If I’m not mistaken, it has spelled out a name – Mistress Gina.  What do you think it means?
Chrystian - Benjamin
* Ben and Chrystian struggle to keep a straight face * “I have no fucking idea,” they say in perfect harmony.  The walls shake and then a cold wind blows out all the candles.
Click, click, click, click* The unmistakable sound of high heels moving at a fast pace across a hardwood floor suddenly floats between them in the stillness of the dark room and chills rush up Ben’s spine. The sound of a whip can be heard as it cracks through the air. The tip of it just brushes against Chrystian’s back, causing him to jump and turn toward the door. A framed outline of a woman can be seen in the doorway by the light of the moon through the window behind her.
A maniacal laugh echoes throughout the pitch-black room and Benjamin knows instantly who it belongs to. He jumps up, trepidation on his face, as once again the sound of her whip can be heard whooshing through the air, this time landing across Ben’s ass with an audible *crack* and his sudden intake of breath.
A sultry voice edged with a huskiness born of pure lust and depravity reveals Ben is correct, “Hello boys.”

Chit Chat and All That! would like to thank Ben and Chrystian for their post today and a special thank you to our surprise guest, Mistress Gina *wink*
Next Monday on Chit Chat and All That! we have Kiki Howell and Abby Hayes talking about the paranormal.
