(@CBlackthorn @sinfulpress)
Sinful Press is proud to announce the
pre-release of A Variety of Chains by Christine Blackthorn, the first in
the Bloodhavens series.
Blurb
Kathryn McClusky is an
ErGer – a rare and highly prized individual in the supernatural world.
She has spent her life
running and hiding, but circumstances have changed and the only way to protect
her family is to hand herself over to the Vampire Lord of London to face
slavery or death.
Lucian Neben runs his
London court with a stern but fair hand, but political pressures are building
from both the human and fey worlds, and taking possession of an ErGer would
cement his position of power.
Kathryn is vulnerable
and broken almost beyond repair, but she holds in her hands the one treasure
Lucian desperately wants – the possibility of home and family.
Can he teach her to open
herself up; to choose to life, and him, before reality forces him to take her freedom?

Excerpt
"That's it. I want you to be only aware of me." There was a wicked light in his eyes – wicked, aroused and full of gentle laughter, a combination more desirable than anything.
"First, I will narrow your world so that your busy little brain cannot take you away, and then I will play with you. The rules will be simple. I get to do whatever I want and you have to take it. If you tell me something I do not know and cannot find out any other way, something secret and intimate, then and only then will I give you relief."
She did not understand what he meant but her confusion was quickly overtaken by alarm when he covered her eyes with a soft cloth. She did not like the limitation to her sight even though he had blindfolded her repeatedly over the last two weeks. It made her tense, and increased her awareness of both his touch and his taste. She felt his lips stroking over the cloth, gentling her into the darkness. She was surprised when his hands slipped under her shoulders and he made her upper body more comfortable – she had not noticed the discomfort from her muscles, but he had. He had noticed the increased tenseness and adjusted her body to avoid it. That realisation was terrifying and reassuring in equal measures.
She felt him get off the bed, though his hand remained a calming pressure on her skin at all times. A gentle pressure was laid over her torso, just under her breasts, and as it tightened her body was further immobilised by what she realised was a strap. A second strap followed the first just over her breasts. Both straps were tight but not painful, smooth lines of warming leather on her overheated skin.
"I am just making sure that you cannot move suddenly and risk hurting yourself." His voice was an anchor in her world, a deep note of calm in her rising nervousness. It almost failed to stave off the waves of panic when he gently lifted her right leg and bent it to attach a thigh cuff to the side of the bed, leaving her exposed. She tried to struggle but he had ensured that her range of movement was already so limited that any resistance was ineffective at best. Quickly he attached a second cuff on her other thigh and tightened the ankle restraints, leaving her laid out on the bed, restrained and open, her legs parted and bent, entirely helpless and accessible to his touch.
"You have no idea how beautiful you are like this – splayed for my desire, unable to resist the pleasure I can give you."

Bio
In "real"
life, I am an academic with degrees in Political Science, Economics, Philosophy
and Law and an insatiable desire to confound, baffle and disconcert my
students. Someone once suggested to me the reason for my stories lay in the
desire to offset the tedium and rationality of academic life. He wasn't an
academic or he would have known better. It is best to use research against
tedium, students to offset the rationality and an unlimited supply of
stressballs for the faculty meetings. The stories? Well, they are just for me -
like a mental manicure.
I also write a blog on
Feminism and Erotica - come talk to me:
