Submit to “Master of the House” by Justine Elyot
Welcome, Justine! I had the pleasure of working with Justine when I edited for Total-E-Bound, now Totally Bound.
Hello, everyone, and thank you to Suz for welcoming me to her lovely online hangout. It’s very good to be here today.
I’m here because I have a new book out. It’s an erotic romance novel, from Mischief Books, and it’s called Master of the House.
Here’s the blurb:
Journalist Lucy Miles returns home to her sleepy rural village to chase a potentially career changing story. But after being reunited with the boy who broke her heart, Lucy soon realises that it’s her own feelings that are under investigation.
She’s resigned to covering stories for the local newspaper and sharing a flat with her hippie mother, until her first love reappears.
She should know better than to trust Joss Lethbridge, even if he is a Lord these days, but he has an intriguing proposition for her and the temptation to land the biggest scoop the Vale of Tylney has ever seen proves too much for her. As does his invitation to rekindle a passion that will set alight her submissive fantasies and untie his dominant tastes.
But for how long can playing roles remain pretence before their games become an emotional connection?
And an excerpt for you too:
It was weird and shameful but strangely heady to obey his order and show him my bottom, especially when I pivoted at the waist and felt the skin tauten at my upper thighs and lower cheeks. I put my hands on my knees and kept my head up, not wanting the blood to rush to it.
‘Spread your legs,’ said Joss.
I was reluctant for a moment, then I moved my feet wider apart. It was easier to balance that way anyway. On the other hand, the rapid cooling of my lower lips, which were damp, told me that he could see them, and what lay within.
‘Good,’ he said again. I could hear that he was closer, near enough to get a serious view. ‘Push your bottom out more. Legs wider.’
My posture went from indecent to blatantly obscene. Now I felt dirty and degraded, a whore performing a trick. It made me even wetter.
‘We need to see everything,’ said Joss, in a strange tight voice. ‘Everything you’ve got.’
I strained to keep myself widespread, bottom high. I imagined what he must be seeing, then imagined him coming over and giving my bum a casual stroke then a smack. Perhaps he would do it. Perhaps I wanted him to…but I had made him promise…
He could lay claim to me. If he only knew it, he could do it any time he liked.
But he didn’t know it, and he kept his hands off.
‘We like that,’ he said. ‘We like that a lot.’
I wish he’d stop it with the ‘we’. I knew he was referring to the man he called His Nibs, keeping us focused on the task instead of carried away on the hectic tide of personal desire, but it was unsettling all the same.
‘I’m picturing you,’ he said, closer than ever, close enough to feel his heat on my thighs, ‘bent just like that but with pretty red lines all the way across your bottom and thighs. You’ll get them, one day, soon, and I’ll be the man to give them to you.’
I sucked in air, not sure whether I was fearful or avid for it to happen.
‘All right,’ he said, rather regretfully. ‘You can stand up again.’
I wasn’t sure I could, but I tried. My head seemed to join the rest of my body shortly afterwards, and my libido was still down there with my open sex and offered bottom. It would take some time to catch up.
Well! How about that? If you’d like more, the book is on sale now!
Thanks for having me, Suz!
