They had to have this little orientation done before check-out time. On the table was her willing accomplice—ten meters of quarter-inch, natural color hemp ready for winding and binding.

Anuhara’s eyes skittered over the rope on the table before she tentatively stepped forward.

“Relax,” Sherilynn soothed. “I want you limp as a rag. Don’t try to help me. Stay at ease and be patient. Do you have a mindfulness practice or go-to meditation you can use to stay focused on something else while I tie you up? Because it might take awhile.”

Anuhara paused and answered, “I have a breathing technique I learned awhile back.”

“Tell me about it,” Sherilynn prompted.

“It’s something I picked up from a fellow islander. She’s from Hawai’i. Not that I’m from there,” Anuhara added quickly. “Anyway, it’s about breathing in a circuit: inhaling for seven counts, holding the breath for seven counts, exhaling for seven counts, pausing for seven counts and then starting the whole cycle again for six more times.”

“Hmm. Interesting. Why seven?” Sherilynn mused, enjoying the ease with which Anuhara explicated.

Anuhara shrugged. “I don’t know. I didn’t ask. It was easy to remember, fun to try, and nice to see how it jived with me. Plus, it comes in real handy because it increases my blood circulation so much that I feel hot even before I complete seven of those cycles.”

“Good to know,” Sherilynn said, taking note of the circulation issue. She’d have to ensure that the rope had a bit of give to accommodate the swell of oxygen-rich blood flow in the body. Anuhara’s body probably ran hot. Smiling to herself, she remembered how warm it was to sleep beside her in bed last night. “Now strip. Slowly.”

The above excerpt is from The Invitation, which is the first book in the DykeLove Bound series, when a newbie gets her introduction to rope.

While subsequent books in this particular series are forthcoming, in the meantime you can enjoy The Intros (DykeLove Quickies prequel) as a complimentary read at most retail sites.

If you like stories about kinky lesbian females who are also into bondage, you may enjoy The Inquiry in the DykeLove Quickies series.

“Tell me your safeword,” Clark ordered immediately after he got Coral’s consent to progress.

“Caribbean,” she answered swiftly, which showed how adequate her training had been up to this point. Good, that meant Clark didn’t need to jump through all the hoops to establish a baseline. Tanner really had done his homework with this one.

“When will you say that?” Clark prompted, drawing from Tanner’s guidelines for safe consensual play.

“When I want the abduction to stop.”

“Good. Say it when you feel pins and needles or begin to feel tingly in the ropes. Say it before you get numb or pass out. Say yellow if you want water or want things to slow down. Tell me what I just said.”

“I safeword when I feel discomfort when bound, before I get numb or pass out. I can say yellow to slow things down and get hydrated.”

“Good girl.”

With that, Clark retrieved a ski mask from one of the drawers and slipped it over her head. He had the mask specially designed so that the holes for the eyes were nonexistent and only an opening at the mouth allowed one to breathe.

He found the prospect of taking the woman without even seeing her face an arousing one. With a slow finger, he traced a finger down the soft creamy skin, from her spine all the way to her butt crack. With a patient meander, he skirted around the fleshy tush, along the toned thigh to the knee and up along the crevice of her inner thighs. He dipped a finger past her clit and verified the wet trail forming at her lips.

“Ah, wet for me already.” Clark grinned and withdrew his finger. “My plaything likes it rough. Being taken. Without sight. You can’t get away, can’t plan an escape, can’t even see me, report me, identify me in a line-up. I can get away. Scot-free.”

“No, you can’t do this. I—I’ve got money. Somewhere. I can get it to you. Let me go, so I can find it for you.”

​Clark laughed. “What man in his right mind would walk away from a fine piece of ass like this?” He began to warm up her rump. “Especially when it’s already wet and oh so available. You think I’d be stupid enough to fall for the money trick, bitch? Think you can outsmart me? You deserve a spanking.”

Q: In your newsletter subscriber-only giveaway for the audiobook, you asked about a secondary character's British Indian accent in extended-stay America. What inspired you to include such a character (Sangita) in the book?
A: I live in quite a diverse area in the United States -- the San Francisco Bay Area. Sangita is actually a combination of a few different Indian/South Asian American women I have met in my life. One particular female stood out in my mind, because although she had no accent when speaking American English, her older sister definitely had one. The sisters were less than five years apart. So I really wanted Gita's character to stand out a little.

​Q: In The Inspection, one of the female protagonists could easily have had an accent. Why did you stick with an accent-free Latina for the narration?
Although the Latina protagonist's mother reveres traditional Aztec ways and would have gone that route for Mercedes' best match in terms of possible (male) suitors, Mercedes grew up in America at a very young age. She would not have developed an accent when speaking American English.

Q: I notice that interracial and multicultural couples sprinkle your stories. How did you go about confirming the narrator for the DykeLove Quickies series?
Well, I knew I wanted someone who was prompt, professional and responsive to edits/suggestions for changes. A plus was that I did not have to search for a different narrator to execute different accents, pitches, personas. Ideally, I would have liked two different narrators -- one for each protagonist. However, I have found that the dialogue between those characters gets really tricky to execute when it comes to audio file creation. The more people involved in the audiobook creation process, the longer it seems to take. So I stuck with one narrator so far. Hope that answered the question.

Q: When will the next audiobook be released?
A: Hopefully, by November I'll have THE INQUISITION (DykeLove Quickies Book 6) out in audio and then by the December holidays, DYKELOVE SECONDS (DykeLove Quickies Bundle Volume 2). I've got all these files to listen to, get through, approve for upload. They're all sitting on the back burner, waiting for me to wade through them. So that's my priority for the rest of October -- to get through the audio files. Then November and December will be butt-in-chair writing time to crank out some stories for the characters that are getting crankier every passing day about WTF is taking me so long to return to their stories...

Q: Sounds like you've got a lot on your plate! What is the next story you're working on?
A: Gosh. Right now, the race is between The Miseducation Part One (Purr Billionaire BDSM Trio Book 7) and The Librarian (Occupational Hazard Book 1). The Miseducation started out being focused on Britta Akerman, a lesbian domme who is just beginning her training with a bisexual male Dom in a M/M/M relationship. However, the "trio" part is really focused on the M/M/M relationship. It's a very interesting book for me to write. Well, The Librarian is a short story that is similar to the DykeLove Quickies series and features two lesbians in a kinky relationship. It's a light fun story that right now looks like it may be the next story out. So we'll see...

“Ms. Olsen, Mr. Mannings is here to see you,” came Charlotte's shrill voice via intercom.

The lunch Mariah just had did little to keep her stomach from flip-flopping. Clark wasn't the kind of man anyone denied, even if he had no follow-up appointment in her calendar. Gulping, she hoped she didn't regret what she was about to say. “Thank you, Charlotte. You can send him in.”

Within seconds, the door to her austere cream-colored office opened. As quietly as he opened the door, Clark also closed it with a definitive click. Did he just lock her in? He sounded like a predator on the prowl, and she was the prey. How did he turn the tables like that, when this was her office, her company, her building?

​Show no fear. Her mother's firm voice entered her head. No way would the daughter of Annika Alisha Olsen back down in the face of any man.

As Clark's imposing frame neared her blond wood desk, without looking up from her paperwork, Mariah asked in a dismissive manner, “To what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?” In the years she sat at this desk, this was the first time she wished she had a mahogany desk or any dark-toned desk that did not reflect the fluorescent overhead light. The light tones around her, including her white blouse, made her acutely aware of her cheeks and their potential for betrayal.

He set his briefcase down in the seat across from her, yet made no move to sit.

​Glancing up from her seat of power to meet his eyes, her heart skipped a beat at his darkening gaze. The rascal. He purposefully situated himself so that she had to look up at him. In her own building. The arrogant ass. She gulped back a groan. Why did she have to think of his ass, the feel of him thrusting into her and giving her all manner of pleasure?

I took a deep breath. 

Here goes.

I then stripped off my pants and underpants, leaving them on my mattress in a tidy bundle near the wall. Settling back onto my butt, I bent my knees and then flapped open my thighs as if they were the wings of a butterfly. Realizing I needed a bit more back support so that I could look comfortably into my handheld mirror, I propped the length of my pillow along my mid-back and up to my neck. Taking ahold of the reflective surface, I placed the thing between my legs and forced myself to look.

Okay, I’m brown.

With thick black pubic hair.

And something that looked like one squashed shriveled prune sandwich running vertical down the middle.

Wait. That didn’t look right. I referenced the black and white O’Keefe cousins in the book and compared it to my slit. 

Right. I needed to touch myself, part the lips.

​The labia, I lectured myself. This was definitely a very hands-on crash course on self-love anatomy alright.
