“I was merely reminding him that the park–my park–is more of a petting zoo than an all-you-can-eat buffet.”

From the look on her face she’s stuck trying to figure out exactly which part of that statement she should be focusing on–or offended by, before she finally focuses on the relevant information. “You believe he was about to feed on someone? According to all reports of Benji, he’s–”

“Harmless as any predator can be, but not immune to temptation.”

“And you are?” Her lips curl into a smile that doesn’t quite reach her eyes.  

“Not at all.” I trace my tongue over my teeth. My fangs haven’t descended, it’s more of a show to make Nissi as uneasy as possible. “But there’s almost a masochistic draw to it, don’t you think? Reveling in the agony of not being able to have what you desire even with the knowledge that you could have it all with just one snap of the finger.”

Indulge in an emotional BDSM fantasy with this Club Obsidian collection. Contains the first two books of the Club Obsidian series, Entrust and Trust Fall.

Rule number one, I expect honest answers.

He’s out of my league. Hazel eyes, staggering smile, sculpted, confident posture. Guys like him make my palms sweaty and my brain go numb. So, why is it when he sits near me I suddenly find this calm confidence? It goes against everything I’ve ever known and threatens to leave me defenseless.

Our one-night encounter was supposed to be just that, but I can’t shake him… and with every chance meeting, I’m beginning to wonder how much I want to.

Rule number two, when I say don’t move, do not move.

I’m falling without a net at a terrifying speed. There is no hiding, no amount of fighting, that can change my trajectory now that he’s seen the real me, behind the scars and armor.

It’s strange to find the control I need resting in someone else’s hands.

Submission is freedom.

Submission is redemption.

Submission is a power like I’ve never felt before. and I give it all to him freely.

I thought it would be fun, now that I have my blog up and running, to share some of my favorite things. Every week, I’ll be back with a new top 5 list with everything from books to snacks. 

Today, I’m sharing some of my favorite bands!

Disturbed has been one of my absolute favorite bands since I heard Voices in high school. Fuse TV had just been added to our line-up, and I spent my days listening to music, particularly the metal or rock segments and thanks to that, I discovered Disturbed shortly before their second album came out. I love the complexity of their music, and damn, David Draiman has an awesome voice with quite a range himself. He pulls off everything from the rough, guttural sections, to the beautiful, sweeping ballads flawlessly. I’ve been to three Disturbed concerts and they’re equally as impressive on stage as they are on the radio. They really connected with the audience and created a great atmosphere at every performance. Plus, the messages behind their songs really resonated with me, particularly when the second album came out as I was struggling with my own religious beliefs. WE ARE DISTURBED. 

Halestorm

Lzzy Hale is just freakin’ phenomenal. I have a bunch of her covers on my playlist as well as her original music, and several of her songs, particularly, I Get Off and Do Not Disturb, are on my sex-scene writing playlist for some additional inspiration. I believe I discovered her music while playing Rock Band, but I love her take-charge attitude and empowering message. I love blaring her music as I’m driving down the road and working out. It’s also fun to interrupt the country music on the jukebox and watch the horror and shock on the faces of people in a restaurant. 

Evanescence

Amy Lee is another strong female vocalist I adore. Ever since Bring Me To Life, I have enjoyed her mesh of classical sounds with modern rock. She has also had numerous songs that spoke to me on a personal level and got me through the rough teenage years into adulthood. One of my favorite tracks is Lacrymosa which takes her blended style to a whole new level with the beautiful instrumentals and choir. 

Buddy Holly and the Crickets

Did we just take a turn, or what? Buddy Holly was original and one of the prime influencers of the rock and roll movement. I had a tape of his music when I was a kid that I listened to on constant repeat, unable to get enough of his rock-a-billy style and unique vocals. I don’t even remember where the tape came from, but I now suspect I pilfered it from my grandpa. I grew up in a small town where country music was everywhere. At school, on the radio, on the TV. For a while, I thought that (and gospel) were the only music that existed, and I did have a huge poster of Billy Ray on my wall, but Buddy Holly combined the essences of country, blues, and gospel to create a unique and catchy sound. He was probably one of the instigators in my rock music rebellion. 

Shinedown

I started listening to Shinedown recently after finding a new local rock station on the radio. The first song I heard was Get Up and as someone who struggles with mental health, the song really became an inspiration for me to start each day. Their music is really catchy and tends to stick in my head all day. A few of my absolute favorites are Get Up, Monsters, How Did You Love, and State of My Head.

Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start writing!

I thought it would be fun, now that I have my blog up and running, to share some of my favorite things. Every week, I’ll be back with a new top 5 list with everything from books to snacks. 

Since most of us are stuck at home with the current pandemic, I’m sharing five of the TV shows I’m enjoying right now.

Bride of Habaek

The Bride of Habaek ( ��������� ������) is a South Korean television drama spin-off of the 2006 sunjung manhwa Bride of the Water God by Yoon Mi-kyung.

If you love Lucifer, you should definitely check out Bride of Habaek. Habaek has led a stress-free life of opulence as a god, but when he’s sent to Earth to complete a mission before taking over as the ruler of all gods, he meets with a few stumbling blocks, including falling for his human “servant.”

Meteor Garden

“An ordinary girl is admitted to the most prestigious school in the country where she encounters F4, an exclusive group comprised of the four wealthiest and handsomest boys in the school…”

I stumbled on this one because Netflix kept recommending it, and I have no regrets. The story gets a little drawn out and frustrating at times, but the hooks at the end, just kept me coming back. If you enjoy bully, rich guy/working-class girl, and RH feels, it’s worth spending a few days binge watching.

Cinderella and the Four Knights

“Catching the eye of a wealthy gentleman,��spunky Ha-won��gets hired to live with his three immature grandsons so she can whip them into shape.”

Yes, there’s a definite pattern here. I rarely watch anything in English anymore. Cinderella and the Four Knights is similar to Meteor Garden, but a faster pace. It also has a little of the RH feel, but Ha-won is only interested in one of the guys romantically. However, the moment she’s in trouble, they all swoop in to save her.

Zoo

“Zoo is a global thriller about a wave of violent animal attacks against humans sweeping the planet.��“

I don’t know how I ended up here, but Zoo was a wild ride. The characters are fantastic, and I enjoyed the constant twists and turns of the storyline. I wasn’t sure about the jump the 3rd season took, but I came to enjoy it. Unfortunately, it ends on a cliffhanger, so if you hate that, maybe skip the third season.

Discovery of Witches

“Diana Bishop, a historian and reluctant witch, unexpectedly discovers a bewitched manuscript in Oxford’s Bodleian Library. This discovery forces her back into the world of magic in order to unravel the secrets it holds about magical beings.”

If you’ve read the books, you have to watch the series. If you haven’t, do both. I’ve already watched the first two seasons several times, and the third season is releasing Jan 2022. The storyline is riveting and complex, and although the show makes several artistic changes and simplifies it quite a bit, the love for the books is clear.
