On Sundays, I share tidbits of my works in progress as part of Weekend Warrior’s 8-Sentence Sunday. This week, I continue with my latest project, a bondage fantasy titled Bound to Her Master.
Last week, Ti-Hana, sex slave to the arising lordship himself, had her big moment being revealed to the crowd--although her attention was more focused on her Master. This week, we've moved a little ways forward, into Lord Stepanyan's viewpoint as he contemplates the even bigger moment that lies just ahead.
Every
nerve in Stepanyan’s body twinged with a tight alertness, as though he were
preparing for battle with a Lyrian fire beast rather than simply audiencing his
Mastery of a female. He had done so many times in the pleasure house, even once
or twice at the open-air temple, and this occasion should be no different. Yet
it was.
This was
not only a test of a god’s skill in the Cerunnon ways, but a test of a ruler
preparing to take his place on the high seat. A test of a Dominant who had
tamed a ti hana—a truly "wild human"—in just a couple of months. A female with no prior knowledge that his realm even
existed, let alone how their bondage traditions worked, would be put through her paces to show how well his time in the pleasure chamber with her had been spent. The many eyes who would behold this session
would not only be judging his technique and control, but also his leadership. What
if she failed him?
What if
he failed her?
So, what do you think?

I'm J. Rose Allister, wife, working mom, and the author of over twenty-five books. Somewhere in between one and the next, I love hanging out here on my blog and over on Twitter. Give me a comment or follow-I love chatting with people!
I like the internal dialogue and the meaning the behind the domination.
ReplyDeleteThank you...the culture of domination in this story is heavily laced with meaning, yes.
DeleteTalk about the pressure being on! Intriguing world building that leaves me hungry for more. Great snippet.
ReplyDeleteThanks for that! Yeah, no pressure here, heh heh. ;)
DeleteSuddenly he's insecure about his manhood prowess. Hmm. Maybe he needs one of those little blue pills. . .Outstanding snippet.
ReplyDeleteBahaha! It's less about his physical, erm, stamina than his performance in dominance, as there had been an incident earlier in the story. But yeah, without mentioning that in the description, I can see how this might read as a Viagra ad. LOL
DeleteThe backstory of what's going on here was fascinating. Excellent excerpt!
ReplyDeleteThank you for being here!!
DeleteI can only imagine he's worried because Ti-Hana is not your average wild human. I love that she can affect him that way.
ReplyDeleteVery astute observation! There's nothing in the least average about these two or their relationship. Thanks for the feedback!
DeletePerformance anxiety, anyone? Nonetheless, I have no doubt he'll come through in the clinch. ;-)
ReplyDeleteAlso, I enjoyed the background about what's going on with Ti-Hana. I understand more now than I did before.
LOL! Even gods have their doubts, apparently. Thanks for coming by to offer your feedback.
DeleteAre there any tickets left? Only I would like to be one of the many eyes judging him! Delicious snippet, powerful and sexy.
ReplyDeletemuwahahaha Ah, to have the box seat next to his, eh? Thanks :)
DeleteWhat everyone else said, Rose. This is outstanding! The world building is fascinating. :-)I'm more than just a little intrigued right now at which direction this will go. :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm a bit intrigued too, because I haven't quite decided how it WILL go. heh heh.
DeleteIt seems as if he has a lot at stake here. I hope his wild human cooperates.
ReplyDeleteThe spirit is willing, but is the flesh weak? I'm not entirely certain! Guess I'll find out next week. :)
DeleteAmazing world-building here- I'm definitely drawn into this story. There seems to be a lot of complexity and intrigue.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing that feedback!
