L.A. artist phenom Julia Santos appeared to have it
all. Her creativity was at its peak and she had her muse and model Jacob Hartley
to thank for it. He brought the fire and raw sexuality back to her sculptures
and into her bedroom, while her best friend and confidant Carmen gave her a
sense of security she’d never felt before.
Afraid of her emerging desire to give herself over completely
to Carmen as her submissive, Julia delved deeper into the hedonistic lifestyle
she’d come to rely on to help her escape the horrors of her childhood. Her
sexual encounters with men didn’t give her the comfort she craved, but led her
down the path of self-destruction.
Her behavior caught the attention of the Goddess Fate
and her Guardian Angel Daniel. Together they intervene and transport her to the
realm between life and death called the Island. There she’s given a choice:
stay and wait for her next rebirth, or go back and fight to be with the one who
had been there for her through every lifetime.
Will she take the easy way out and leave all the pain
behind, or will she choose the long and hard road in order to have her happily
ever after with the Mistress of her dreams?
Story Excerpt
The only way to the beach seemed to be
through the sliding doors on the other side of the bedroom. The sound of sea
gulls reached her ears as she stepped out onto the deck. A bubbling hot tub sat
to her left and to her right was an outdoor kitchen, complete with a grill pit
and cushioned deck chairs. Directly in front of her stretched the pale sandy
beach. The waves called to her and she practically ran through the sand to get
to the point where the water gently lapped against her calves. Julia wiggled
her toes into the sand, loving the feel of it slipping and sliding between
them. “This is sheer Heaven.”
Then it hit her. The whole confrontation
with Jacob and Mario in the condo replayed on fast forward in her mind. She
remembered drinking way too much whiskey and then swallowing some pain killers.
“Oh, my God! I just wanted to sleep. I
didn’t want to die. This is why I’m here. I’m dead.” She sank to her knees in
the surf and sobbed.
“Julia, you’re not dead.” A tall blond man
stood before her on the beach. He looked to be in his late twenties, covered in
tattoos and sporting multiple piercings. His eyes were what drew her right in.
They were the blue green color of the ocean she sat in. His eyes made her feel immediately at ease.
He held out his hand to her. “Come on.
We’ve a lot to talk about and I’m sure you’re full of questions for me too.”
“Where did you come from? I thought I was
the only one here.” Julia took his hand and allowed him to help her get to her
feet and out of the water. Goosebumps
covered her body, but she wasn’t cold. “If I’m not dead, then how did I get
here?”
He laughed. “I’ll answer all your
questions, but first you have to give me a chance to do it before you fire off
more.” He wrapped a large beach towel
around her shoulders as they made their way back up toward her bungalow. “I’ve
been waiting for you to wake up. I’m the Guardian assigned to watch over you
and help you find your way back to the destiny chosen for you by The Three.”
She sat down on one of the deck chairs and
beckoned to him to sit next to her. “Guardian?
As in guardian angel?”
He nodded. “My name is Daniel. The Goddess
Fate chose me to watch over you and several other people. One of them you know
already, Jake Hartley.”
Julia’s eyes filled with tears. “I hurt
him so badly. Is he okay? I mean he stormed out of our condo last night. I
don’t know where he went.”
Daniel shook his head. “He was in a horrific accident on his bike.
He slammed into the back of a semi—”
“No! He’s not dead. He can’t be.” Julia
bolted out of her chair and barely reached the end of the deck before she threw
up.
Daniel went immediately to her side,
holding her hair out of the way until she stopped retching. “I’m not going to
sugar coat it for you, Julia. Jake’s fighting for his life right now. But you
need to believe me when I tell you he’s in good hands. His father is my partner
and right now he’s there with him and the rest of the family.”
“He wouldn’t be there if it wasn’t for me.
I did this to him.” Sobs tore through
her body again. She’d never cried over anyone or anything before Jacob. All of
it became more than she could take. “Please. Leave me here to die. Take care of
him.”
The Guardian wrapped his muscled arms
around her and held her against his chest. “That’s not why you’re here. In
fact, you’ve been allowed to come here in order for your heart and soul to
mend. Then, you have to make a choice.”
Julia wiped the tears from her face and
gazed into Daniel’s eyes. “I don’t understand. What is this place?”
“We call it The Island. Basically, it’s
what humans would call limbo. It’s the realm between life and death. The
ability to come here is a gift given to you by Yeshua, Fate, and Lucius. You
have to choose to either stay here and wait until your next life cycle, or go
back to face your demons and fight for your chance to be with your soul mate
and your chosen destiny.”
“The only person that’s ever loved me like
that, the only one who told me he loved me and wanted to spend the rest of his
life with me, is fighting for his life in a hospital bed.” Julia managed to get
back into the deck chair without having another wave of nausea hit. She curled
up in the towel again and wondered if it would be the best thing to stay here
and not go back to all the pain she’d caused.
Daniel smiled. “The only one? Think hard.
Who’s been by your side through everything? Who has let you pursue all your
desires and still loves you unconditionally?”
She smiled through her tears. “But Carmen
can’t be my soul mate. It’s one thing to have an affair, but the love we have
for each other will never be accepted, especially not in her world as a doctor
and hospital administrator. The
religious groups in L.A. would crucify her if our relationship was made public.
The hospital Board wouldn’t want to have that kind of publicity. Carmen’s
worked too hard to get where she’s at in her career. I won’t be responsible for
ruining another person’s life.”
“I understand your fears about that, but
you and all those groups have it completely wrong. The Three didn’t create us
as just male or female. We are both. Soul mates are just that, mates of the
soul. Being a male or female isn’t part of it. Souls have no gender. They’re
just pure life force.”
Julia shook her head. “That may very well
be true, but after all I’ve done in my life I don’t deserve to have that kind
of happiness. Jacob does. Carmen does. But not me.”
Daniel took her hands into his calloused
ones. “Why not? If The Three feel you’re worthy, who are you or anyone to judge
differently?”
ADULT EXCERPT M/F
“Julia, what
on earth are we going to do with you?” Dr. Mario Carlos locked the door to the
private hospital room and dimmed the lights. “You know how the nurses love to
gossip. Eventually, one of them will put two and two together and figure out
you’ve been faking all of these so called accidents.”
“Don’t kid
yourself. I’ve not faked anything to get here. You know very well I’ve been
preoccupied lately and under a lot of stress. I wouldn’t call these things
accidents but more like I’ve been distracted.”
“What? Your
boy toy-muse not able to alleviate the stress you have?” He snorted
dismissively then turned on the charm once again. “You need professional help
and I’ve got what you need right here.”
Dr. Carlos held up a small green vial of pills and shook them in front
of her face.
She raised
her eyebrows and licked her lips. “I’m not one of your other patients who come
here for drugs.”
Mario
shrugged. “You had to have a lot of stitches for that gash in your arm. When
the local wears off, you’ll wish you had these bad boys.”
“Fine. If it
will get you to shut up about it, I’ll take them.” Julia snatched them out of
his hand and tossed them into the drawer with her purse. “I don’t need drugs
from you and you know it.”
“Call it
what you want but sooner or later, you will
end up the hot topic around the nurses’ station. Some may even think you’re
doing this on purpose to drum up publicity for your gallery.” Mario moved
slowly across the room and stood inches from her.
His subtle
musky cologne filled her nostrils and set her skin on fire. She wanted him.
Now. “Who cares what those nosy bitches think.” She reached out and rubbed his
already hard cock through his scrubs. “I need this pounding the hell out of my pussy right now. So stop talking and start fucking.” Julia
didn’t care what anyone else thought and right now, including Jacob. All she
could think about was her current lover’s glorious cock filling her to the
brim… the one outlet she knew would relieve her of the emotional upheaval the call
from her mother set into motion.
Ever since
being wheeled through the doors of the hospital, only the anticipation of
Mario’s tongue darting in and out of her ass and pussy mattered. Just the flick
of his tongue over his own lips made her shiver with delight and soak her
thong.
The very
same thong the good doctor tore from her body seconds after lifting her up to
sit on top of sink in her bathroom. Her fingers wound through his dark wavy
hair as his mouth plundered hers, taking her breath away. She loved the power
she held over this man. Any time, any place she wanted, he always obliged.
Tonight would be no exception.
Of course he
kept her waiting a good half hour after Jacob left before he graced her with
his presence.
She wasn’t
amused by the delay and couldn’t care less if some other patients required his
attention. It’d been their arrangement that whenever she showed up, he’d drop
whatever and whoever and come running.
Now finally,
he sheathed his dick with one of those ribbed condoms she demanded he wear
whenever they fucked.
Julia still
felt a bit miffed at him, but the feeling of his hands on her bare ass
temporarily cleared her mind of all her complaints and the shit with her
family.
Mario spread
her legs wider, lifting her from the sink as he buried his dick in her dripping
cunt.
Julia moaned
and sighed as he slowly pulled out and plunged back in repeatedly. Even through
it felt fantastic to finally have him fucking her, she wanted more. She wanted
to be pounded until she was a quivering glob of jelly. Then maybe the images of
her childhood would fade from her mind’s eye again. He knew what she desired
and yet continued the slow pace, pissing her off anew. “Stop teasing me and
give me what I want. Now!” Julia pulled his mouth away from hers, but not
before she bit down on his lower lip, nearly drawing blood.
“You’ll pay
for that, bitch.”
*
* * *
“Promise?”
He pulled
out of her abruptly and spun her around, leaving her hands momentarily braced
against the sink. He kicked her legs apart and bent her over, so that her
swollen outer lips glistened at him.
She shimmied
and shook her hips, trying to entice him to enter her again.
He grabbed
the bottle of hair conditioner and squeezed a large amount over the crack of
her ass, slipping his fingers in and out of her, stretching her inner muscles
to accommodate him. “I don’t make promises, sweetheart. I’m a man of action.”
He slid the head of his cock into her ass, feeling her tighten around him and
then stretch more. The sensation of her squeezing and releasing his entire
member as he continued to glide in was almost more than he could take and
nearly made him spill his seed. This time he wasn’t about to give her the
satisfaction of him exploding inside her. Not yet. He had other plans for his
demanding lover.
“Oh, now
this is what I’m talking about. I love your kind of action, doctor.” Julia
panted and struggled to move against him, trying to take control of their
session as always.
This time,
he wasn’t going to allow it. He was tired of taking orders from her all the
time. Just once, he wanted to be the one to call the shots. Tonight would be
the first of many where Julia learned to work for what she wanted from him. He
needed to hear her beg for a change.
He reached
around her and cupped both of her large full breasts in his hands, pinching her
nipples roughly as he pulled her up against him. He kept his cock firmly
embedded deep inside her ass,
Her anal
muscles spasmed out of control and squeezed his dick. Her head fell back
against his shoulder as he nibbled along her neck. “Please, Mario.”
“Please,
what?” He kneaded her breasts and twisted her nipples even harder, eliciting a
whimper from her now.
“Please.
Fuck. Me. Fuck me until I scream.” Her breathing became labored and her body
trembled in his arms.
He knew she
was close to erupting. He smiled and bit down on her ear lobe, bringing out yet
another primal moan from her. His cock throbbed in response to every move and
sound she made, especially when she talked dirty. “God, you know I love your filthy mouth.”
ADULT EXCERPT F/F
Julia’s ass
burned from the paddle and yet she craved more. She knew her Mistress would
deliver the appropriate punishment. She always knew what to do for her to give
them both the greatest amount of pleasure. “Yes, Mistress.” Julia placed her palms flat on the carpet,
curled her fingers inward, and gripped the plush fibers as Carmen worked her
with the paddle. A few times the edges of the paddle connected with her cunt
sending jolts of pleasure and pain through her body, igniting the passion she
hadn’t felt in a long time. This was definitely where she belonged, with her
Mistress, her true soul mate.
“You’re
going to get to know this paddle well, my sweet, but not all tonight. We’ve
plenty of time together and I’ve a lot of instruction planned for you.” Carmen
slipped her fingers between Julia’s pussy lips. “So wet for me already, kitten.
Do you know how much that pleases me?”
“I’ll do
anything to please you.” Julia thrust back toward Carmen as her fingers slid
over her clit and then quickly withdrew. “Please don’t stop, Mistress.”
Carmen
laughed softly as she rubbed soothing cream with her soft hands over Julia’s
thighs and bottom. “Don’t you worry, there’s going to be plenty of time for you
to come for me, my love. Since it’s been such a long time, your skin isn’t used
to being worked, but it will be.”
Shivers flew
up and down Julia’s spine. The combination of the heat from the paddle, the
coolness of the cream, and the touch of Carmen’s hands became almost too much
to take, and yet it was exactly what she needed and longed for from the very
start. She felt a tug on her outer lips as the bell clamps were removed and
cream worked into the skin where they’d been for the last few hours. Julia
moaned again as Carmen spread her ass cheeks and slipped two fingers into her
tight opening, coating her with the cream and stretching her with each
feathering stroke.
Carmen
picked up the crop with the special latex covered handle and bulb at the tip.
It resembled a long, thick cock and was in fact, one of Julia’s favorite toys.
Tonight she
would be reacquainted with it. Just the sight of it made her body ache with
need. The feel of the dildo sliding between her cheeks, sent a flood of her
juices down her inner thighs with nothing she could do about it. She couldn’t
hold it back any longer and hoped it wouldn’t displease her Mistress too much.
A smile slowly formed on her lips thinking about what would happen next if
Carmen followed her usual routine.
The bulb of
the handle slowly slid passed the initial resistance to embed deep within her.
Julia’s clit throbbed in response to the fullness of the crop buried in her
ass, and her hips rocked. She ground her pussy into the ottoman, attempting to
give her clit some relief.
Carmen
wasn’t going to allow it however. “Kneel up, hands behind your back,
kitten.” She helped Julia get up and
into position before shoving the crop a little deeper into her. “Now, I’m going
to enjoy that hot bath you prepared for me. Keep your hands behind your back,
legs apart, and that fake cock right where it is until I tell you otherwise.
Are you okay with that or do you need a break, my pet?”
Julia
swallowed hard and licked her lips. “I could use a drink of water, Mistress.”
Carmen held a bottle of water with a straw while
Julia drained nearly half of it in three gulps.
“Thank you.”
Carmen
kissed her forehead and then her lips softly. “I won’t be long and then we’ll
start again. I was thinking of our last session after you visited me today. We
had such a short time together then, not enough to really see what both of us
were made of. But this time, oh honey, this time we are going to be able to let
everything and everyone else go.”
