Black Friday Blog Hop

By Candace BlevinsContests


Welcome to the Black Friday Blog Hop!

Are you all shopped out? Have you already checked everyone off your list? Or maybe you refuse to shop until the final weekend before Christmas, just to make sure you’re properly frazzled come Christmas Day?

No matter why you’re here, I’m glad you are, and I’m giving away your choice of Safeword: Matte, or either of the two Davenport books. Or, If you’ve read all of my books and are looking forward to Safeword: Quinacridone when it’s finally available, I’ll send it once I have the final version.

Check back here next week, as I hope to be able to reveal the cover and blurb for Safeword: Quinacridone in the very near future. (And see below, for a quick excerpt.)

Safeword: Davenport by Candace Blevins
 
Safewords: Davenport and Chiffon by Candace Blevins
 
Safeword: Matte by Candace Blevins

There are three ways to enter to win your choice of the four books. Do all three and you’ll be entered three times, or do one and you’re entered once:

  1. Follow me on Facebook and let me know about it (email, comment, or FB message)
  2. Follow me on Twitter and let me know about it (email, comment, or Twitter me)
  3. Comment below.

If you’re already following me on Facebook or Twitter let me know who you are, and I’ll count it.

I feel I should warn these aren’t beginner BDSM books. Everything is consensual, but the power exchange goes deep — my masochists enjoy real pain, and my sadists enjoy dishing it out. If you’re only interested in a little slap and tickle, these might be a bit much.

To read a blurb and excerpt, just click the image and you’ll be taken to the book’s page.

You must be 18 or older to enter. Make sure you leave your email address in the comments. Good luck to all who enter!

Because I’m so excited about Safeword: Quinacridone, here’s an (unedited) excerpt, to introduce you to Travis and Cara:

“Do you remember when I told you to say yellow if you needed me to realize you couldn’t breathe, or needed me to understand something wasn’t working for you?”

She looked up, not sure where he was going, and nodded cautiously.

“Here’s one of my secrets. I like it when a woman begs me to stop, but I can keep going. I like it when I can hurt her a little, but I don’t want to cause pain she’s not okay with, and it wouldn’t be good for either of us if she really wanted me to back off. So we agree to a word that’ll mean stop, and then she can say no and stop and please don’t all she wants, and we can pretend I’m forcing her. I’m telling you this because I think you’d like it, too.”

“What word?” Her gaze returned to the comforter, and she had to concentrate to sit still. She found herself intrigued, but mortified at her body’s reaction.

“It’s your word; you get to choose. It shouldn’t be something we’d normally say during sex, and it’s better if you find one with special meaning, something personal.”

She raised her head again, needing to see his face, but wanting to look at the comforter. “If yellow meant slow down and check in, I’m betting red is used for something more serious, right?”

He nodded and she said, “Okay then. Quinacridone. That’s my stop word.”

His face broke into a lopsided smile, as if he was relieved she was going along with this. “Quinacridone. That’s a new one. What does it mean?”

She suddenly felt shy again and looked away. “It’s a red pigment; it’s used in higher quality paints, sometimes.”

He chuckled, a happy laugh. “Do you have a word you want to use for yellow?”

She shook her head, still averting her eyes, and focused once more on her big toe. “No, yellow’s fine.”

His fingers touched under her chin, gently lifting her face. “I want to spank you, Cara. I want to put you over my lap and spank you with my hand, and if you like it enough, maybe with a paddle, too. Then I want to play with your asshole with my fingers, get you ready for me before I fuck you there. If you say quinacridone I’ll stop and hold you and do everything I can to make you okay. If you say yellow I’ll back off, see what needs adjustment, and we’ll keep going.” He leaned forward; kissed her forehead. “If you tell me to stop, or say no, or ask me not to do something, or call me a fucking bastard, I’ll keep going.”

He tilted his head and seemed to study her a few seconds before asking, “Sound like something you want to do?”

“Spank me? Like a kid?”

“No.” He shook his head. “Not like a kid. This isn’t punishment; it’s for fun. I’ll make it good for you, and if it you don’t like it, we’ll stop.”

The idea didn’t sound so bad, but the reality? To drape herself across his lap, presenting her ass for a spanking? Could she? She’d rather not have to submit to it, which was the great thing about most of the assholes she screwed –– they did what they wanted, and didn’t make her talk about it.

She felt so vulnerable when he made her look at him. His finger was still under her chin, so she aimed her eyeballs down in an attempt to escape his gaze.

He moved his hand, letting her have control of her face again. “Okay, I won’t make you ask for it, but I need you to tell me what you’ll say if you want things to stop.”

Her eyes were focused on the navy comforter, seeing the patterns in the soft brushed microfiber that felt almost like baby fine deerskin. “Quinacridone.”

“Okay. Over my lap then Cara Mia, you can leave the robe on if you like.”

He readjusted until he was sitting with his back against the headboard and his legs straight out. Cara crawled to him, as it seemed the easiest way to get there, but it felt odd, and she was a little surprised to discover it was turning her on. She draped herself over his lap, leaving her robe on.

A weight rested on her ass –– no heat, just a weight –– his hand over the robe.

“I like starting with clothes sometimes; it’s fun to reveal what’s underneath. Kind of like unwrapping a present.”

His hand smoothed its way down her ass, to her thigh, and she felt the warmth of his palm as it went lower than the robe and they were skin on skin. His fingers were silky soft as he drew them back up, pushing the robe up her legs.

She felt herself grow wet, wanted to wiggle her ass on his lap, but she held herself oh-so-still, barely breathing. This was a brand new experience and her body loved it, but her mind was reeling. His hand was at the top of her left thigh now, slowly sliding its way up, and she felt the cooler air brush her skin as he pushed the robe higher, and higher.
