Kitten's New Collar paperback

Excerpt

 

I had no idea where we were when we landed, but the flight was only about
three hours long. Not that I noticed. Daddy kept me busy the entire flight.
After he let our flight attendant, Adam, and my bodyguard, Enzo, fuck me, I
was exhausted. Daddy took me to his suite and I dozed occasionally. Between
rounds of vigorous sex, that is.

The weather was sunny and warm. A cool breeze ruffled my hair and I turned
my face into the wind. Just so happened the wind came from the direction of
the sun so I closed my eyes and basked in the warmth.

“Feel good, Kitten?” Daddy smiled down at me with so much love
and affection my heart swelled.

“It does, Daddy. I love feeling the sun on my skin. It’s like a
warm hug.”

He chuckled. “That it is, Kitten. There will be plenty of that over
the next couple of days. Did you check in with Max?”

“Yes, just before we landed. He says he and Andi are getting along
fine.”

“Good. Let’s get upstairs to the room. You can shower if you
like, then we’ll begin our adventure.”

With a glad cry I threw myself into Daddy’s arms. He chuckled and
hugged me back, squeezing me tight. He set me down and let me walk beside
him hand in hand through the hotel lobby up to the room. I was hardly able
to contain my excitement. Once inside our suite, I didn’t even stop to
take in what I was certain was magnificent decor. Instead, I threw myself at
him again, this time peppering kisses all over his face before wiggling free
and shedding my clothing as I hurried to the bathroom. Daddy’s
laughter followed me as I scampered to the shower.

As I’d hoped, it wasn’t long before Daddy joined me. Snagging
the shower gel, he eyed my hungrily. “We’re going have so much
fun, Kitten.”

I smiled as I wrapped my arms around his neck, stretching up on my tiptoes
even as I pulled him down for a hot, wet kiss. Water sluiced over us as
Daddy’s soapy hands slid easily up and down my back, then to my ass as
he squeezed and kneaded. “I think my little Kitten needed this time
away.”

“Maybe. I love being home with our little family, but I feel like
I’ve been let out of a very big, very gilded cage.” I grinned up
at him, knowing he’d understand what I meant.

As I expected, Daddy chuckled, leaning down to kiss me again, his hands
never stopping their soothing stroking. “I understand completely.
Before we continue, though, I need to explain my thoughts with regard to
you.”

I cocked my head, a thread of worry slinking through me. I knew I was still
insecure with Daddy. As long as he’d been in my life, I’d have
thought I could feel comfortable. He’d even asked me to marry him! But
there was still that last little bit of doubt that told me I wasn’t
good enough.

Daddy had picked me up from a very low time in my life, a woman with no one
and nothing, and brought me into his world as his pet. A treasured pet, but
a pet nonetheless. He’d assured me time after time that I was so much
more, that I was his woman and I would always be with him, that I was his
and he was mine. Sometimes, though, I remembered that Daddy was not only
good looking but exceedingly, obscenely wealthy and could have any woman he
wanted. Most men I’d known would have, given the opportunity. I
didn’t believe Daddy was like that. Not at all. I just needed
reassurance sometimes. This was one of those times.

“I brought Enzo into our circle. I let one of my valued, trusted
employees partake of your sweet body. That’s not always going to
happen. I allowed Adam to fuck you because he’d pleased me, but mostly
because I knew you needed it. I think you need me to share you as much as I
need to share you. I chose Adam because he was available and had taken care
of both of us, anticipating both our needs. I chose Enzo for a very
different reason, though.”

“Because he guards me. You wanted to reward him.”

“Partly, yes.”

“Partly?”

He bent down to take one of my nipples between his lips and sucked.

EXCERPT

 I like this—I can’t decide where to cut it:

Particles of sunlit dust ethereally floated just outside my window seat.  The atmosphere that entangled these sparkling flecks emitted a light, soft, gentle glow—a glow that had never enveloped me in New England.   Feeling suddenly uncomfortable, and somewhat disoriented, I didn’t know whether I was coming down to meet the ground, or the ground was coming up to meet me.  Ascending or descending.  Floating above the Bay.  Mired in the past, anticipating the future, currently in a limbo, floating and suspended in time through a space of—neither.  Neither “then”, or “when”.

Looking out my window—first— I witnessed the flat azure water below, reflecting the sky above.  Dropping closer.  Blues mixing with beiges.  Dropping further.  Water turning into waves.  Waves wearing diaphanous froth.  Seafoam.  For an instant, I am the seafoam.  I could hear the echo of a long-dead Einstein influencer from Ancient Greece—Anaximander, c. 500 BC:  

“That which you see beneath your feet,

 is only the same sky you see above your head.”

 

I was clutching my past and emerging into my future.   Ready to leave my limbo, shimmying through a space between.  Rather like that seafoam.  Not completely water, not completely air—just a unity of bubbles.  Floating in a netherworld.   Neither and either.  Aether.  My thoughts were propagating through Einstein’s aether.  

My anxiety detached.  I kept watching the waves as the jet’s wheels dropped.  They would soon touch the tarmac, and—the waves would be behind me.  I knew those waves would still be there, although I wouldn’t be able to see them.  But I could not shake my mental image of that seafoam.

I still can’t.

Road to Nineveh Virtual Book Tour

Road to Nineveh cover

The Lighthouse, Book 4

 

Contemporary Christian Fiction/Thriller

Date Published: December 26, 2023

Publisher: Besondy Publishing LLC

 

 

When Charley Austin Marches to the Wrong Beat, Life Gets Ugly

 

Twenty-year-old Charley Austin travels a torn and troubled world as the
star drummer and lyricist for the famous Christian rock band, DelivRus. He
has musical gifts and a clear mission from God.

And that mission makes him a big problem for Lucky Zebul.

Zebul implements a sinister and depraved plan to crush the vulnerable rock
star and put an end to the band’s Godly influence in the world.

Against a backdrop of societal upheaval, Road to Nineveh continues the
story of Charley Austin (introduced in Book 3, The Snare) as he, like a
modern-day Jonah, faces the harsh consequences of turning away from
God’s purpose for his life and succumbs to pride and lust.

Follow the gripping, emotionally charged story as Charley performs in the
bright lights with DelivRus across America and Europe, igniting hope and
faith, while off-stage his soul is systematically smothered by the
darkness.

Will the tough love of his parents, band mates, and Mia be enough to bring
him back from a devastating scandal? Will he regain purpose for his life on
a sun-baked Texas ranch, or for redemption, must he make one more trip to
the Lighthouse on the misty Washington coast?

Besondy’s Christian thrillers have been compared to the character
development and emotion found in a Charles Martin novel. Others suggest
Besondy writes as if he is the secret lovechild of C.S. Lewis and Stephen
King. You can decide.

Road to Nineveh will appeal to fans of edgy Christian Thrillers or New
Adult Thrillers.

 

Road to Nineveh by Charles Besondy received a gold medal in the Christian
Mystery/Thriller category of the 2024 Illumination Book Awards.

Reword to suit.
