The Week in Kink (WinK#34)

wink2photo via The Alexa Collection

Another week has come to a close here in the land of sex bloggers and I find myself once again sorting through hundreds of posts as I try to decide what ones to share with you.  I’d like to thank my friend Kyle for posting last weeks WinK for me when I was too busy.

You’ll might notice that this week’s links have less smut and more of an information/news tone to them.  I don’t know about any of you but I am finding less and less kinky sex to read among blogs lately.   Are we all having less sex these days or just not writing about it?  If it is just noticing this can you point me to those blogs that I don’t seem to be reading.

I also want to give a plug for the new NYC Sex Blogger’s Calendar site this week.  You should follow it along with the NYCSexBlogCal twitter to stay up to date on the latest news and announcements for it the 2010 NYC Sex Bloggers Calendar along with who our new sponsors this year will be.

Now what you all have been waiting for The Week In Kink links,

I’m back this week with our picks for the Friday Foto Fiesta.  I want to thank my good friend Catalina for posting last week when I was out having fun at a dinner party hosted by my friend and fellow calendar pin up Desiree. The evening ended with a slumber party over Audacia’s and then a marathon brunch the next day with cheese, champagne, pancakes, bacon and bad porn.  It was one of the best weekends I have had in years.

So after searching far and wide this week on the internet for the sexist photos of our merry group of sex bloggers I now give you this weeks FFF   (notice I’m first)

Friday Foto Fiesta

Today starts a new weekly series here on Best Sex Bloggers.  If you have noticed The Week In Kink is getting longer and longer each week as I have more and more links sent to me for it.  One of the solutions we came up with was to take the HNT’s out and move them to a post of their own.

Starting today we have “Friday Foto Fiesta” that will now include our favorite photos from sex bloggers doing what they love to do and showing all of us their skin.   I want to send a special thank you to Curvaceous Dee who I got this idea from when I noticed each week she was posting her favorite HNT’s.  I also want to thank Marky D. Sade for giving me the name for these posts.  He is a true sweetheart!

I won’t be soliciting links for this post each week.  Instead I will be choosing what photos to include that I come across in my reader.  Here are our favorites from this past week in sex blogland,

Flake Factor with the Existentialists

Category: Urban Gypsyurbangypsyt @ 10:27 am

Sometimes I get these creepy feelings about men I chat with online, and there are very, very few these days as my patience has been whittled down over time to a sliver no bigger then toothpick, even though on the surface they seem like we may have the possibility for a mutual connection.  They may be educated and articulate and seemingly appropriate but yet my gut tightens a little when I see one of those chat windows pop up.

This guy is one example.  At 52, he’s at least theoretically in the upper realms of my age bracket (I’ve always preferred men younger than I am but I don’t rule anyone out on that factor alone).  I do hold a man of a certain age to a higher standard then I would a twenty-five year old.  So when this guy would IM me and start querying if I was still there when my pause between responses was perhaps a trifle delayed, I started feeling my insides twist a little.  Needy, in men or women, is not hot.  When I told him I often have multiple chats going on at once, he wanted to know when he could get me to himself.  That’s a hard one.  I’m not rude but few people get my online time all for themselves.  Frankly, only Victor and my pal Dae get my undivided attention.  Anyway, ignoring instinct is a dangerous road to traverse.  Given that I implore every one of you to read, The Gift of Fear, by Gavin DeBecker.

Back on point.

The oddness started anew when he stated he was separated and part of the problem in his marriage was the availability of easy, attractive women.  Hmm.  Did he think maybe because I write about sex and like it kinky, I am attracted to a man who can’t keep it in his pants just because a warm, attractive place to park his penis was available.  Begin rumblings in gut.

Then he told me he had a date for the next evening.  A woman from overseas he has chatted with for a year. And it goes like this.

D :  will not be an LTR but should be fun.  i am a little concerned that she might not be stable emotionally.  you never know

Tess: Why do you say that?

D: she has had wide swings of behavior in her emails

See, he’s now ignoring a potential unstable streak for the sake of getting banged.  Smart?  No.  Attractive? No. And do I listen to more?  Yes.  Remember, I’m a masochist.

D:  yes, i agree. but i think in her case she becomes upset as she is looking for more than is possible for the folks who fool around over the net. she probably wants what she missed as a young woman.

RED FLAG.  Do you see it?  I’m waving it right here.  In front of your eyes.  Sounds to me as if he’s ready to bullshit her, no?  She’s looking for more than is possible from an online meet up?  Oh really.  The men I have met online, Victor among them I have seen for YEARS.  And while it’s not going anywhere specifically, there is a level of care and concern there that I expect from anyone I meet online unless it is specifically stated that this is a meaningless romp.  Nothing wrong with the meaningless, as long as both parties agree to it.  Consent, people, it’s not just for BDSM.

The next day he comes back to tell me that his date worked out.  I assume he means he got pussy.  She’s not crazy he says.

D: not at all, she’s just very frustrated and emotionally drained with her husband of 20 years. but it was a problem as she did not want me to leave but i had to.

Tess:  <rolling eyes at this attempt to sound like he rocked her very foundation to the point that she couldn’t bear to have him go.  Sigh.>  Why was that?

D: she is very very passionate and wanted me to sleep over  in the hotel and then go to NYC with her for the weekend

Tess:  Mm, why couldn’t you spend the night?

D:  the children were with me and i am separated but not divorced with lawyers involved it could cost me custody if i am not careful

Tess : Date when your wife has the kids. Then you can do what you like.

D: the childcare schedule did not work out with respect to her travel plans. she was arriving from overseas on Thurs, i did not want to bring up the issues with her as she might not understand. It’s easier for women to understand that a man is married and they are as well so it is just for fun or he is single so there are no issues except the usual. at least that is my impression. what do you think?

Tess: <a veil of red descending slowly over my vision>  I think that’s pretty much pure bullshit and makes my blood boil. It’s deceptive and means you think women are too simple to understand nuances, or that it’s just simpler for you to practice avoidance rather than honesty.

D:  that’s ok. i am looking for an honest response as this is new territory for me. but i think that you are over reacting. it does not at all mean what you say.  it is not a matter of being able to understand although it could be deceptive in a way. are we all always completely honest about everything upfront?

Tess: <jolted back to a revolting time when this one dickhead asked me to meet a women he had been having an affair with, and was good friends with, only she didn’t know he was married and I was expected to keep this secret> Yeah,  the statement “it’s simpler for women to understand” doesn’t accurately reflect how you feel about women?

D: perhaps a generalization from rapid typing using i chat.  the qualification would be communicating with a woman who you have never met and cannot see her expressions over ichat and trying to understand her. this, of course, does not generalize to all women.

Tess : Ok. You had her in person. Did you tell her you were separated?

This is going on too long and the answer to the above question is no, he did not.  He thinks she’s looking to be rescued from her unhappy marriage on one hand, which would mean he knows she wants more than he can give her and at the same time, he says it’s just a fling so he doesn’t seem to owe her honesty since it’s an online thing.

Then he brings in Sartre, Camus and Kierkegaard to show how reality is relative (or to show me he reads books and is therefore smart).

D:  they, and particularly K, believed in complete candor not because of reality but because of the hopelessness of life (at least that was my take on the analysis) so why be anything other than completely honest/candid. yet complete candor will leave one with few if any friends and no job

Tess : or without pussy

And then I signed the fuck off.

The Week In Kink (WinK#24)

winkvia Chagrin

Here we are once again at the end of another week in the land of sex bloggers.  Since I started publishing WinK here on Best Sex Bloggers there has been something that I have noticed in the world of sex blogs.  It appears to me that there are less and less people writing about sex each week.  I know there has been some talk about this on twitter and other blogs and many of us have even seen requests for Fleshbot material each week on twitter because of this.  Some have said that it is Twitter killing the sex blog.  I don’t know if that is exactly correct but I do know for me personally that I get sidetracked on twitter at times and just don’t find the time to write on my blog.   I’m curious what everyone else thinks the reason for this is or if they even think there are less sex blog posts out there lately.   Feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments.

The Week in Kink is open to everyone for submitting links to be included.  They must be emailed to me at diva@bestsexbloggers.com each week before midnight on Saturday.

Do Not Disturb


The other night when I saw Tess she was very excited to show me her copy of Do Not Disturb that she had just received. For those of you who do not know this is Rachel Kramer Bussel’s newest book that just came out this month. This is also the first book that Tess has been published in. Yay Tess!!

It was such a thrill for me to pick up that book, open it and see her name and bio in it and then page through it to find her story in there. Since I have known Tess I have always admired her writing. It was after all the reason we met and became such close friends. It was also nice to see Tess once again happy and smiling after the rough past few months she has had.

Rachel has a blog for this book and will be doing a virtual book tour in April for it. If you have ever noticed I do not review anything here on my blog but I may just ask Rachel this time to be included on that tour.

Tess and Rachel will also be reading at the next In The Flesh on March 19th and I am very much looking forward to that. I love going to In The Flesh and have heard Rachel read many times but this will be the first time hearing Tess and I know that Tess will be awesome.

The other night when I saw Tess we had dinner with many of our friends including Twanna, Rachel and Dacia who all are in the book trailer for Do Not Disturb. I thought Rachel’s Spanked book trailer was hot but this one is even better in my opinion.

But don’t take my word for it. Have a look for yourself.

Congratulations Tess!!!!

Giving Back

There has been a lot of debate this past week in sex blogland over sex toy reviews and the companies that provide us with all the swag. I voiced my thoughts on the subject last week here on my own blog and on Best Sex Bloggers.

Today I want to talk about another side of these companies that I see. I want to talk about the companies that give back to our CommUNITY. When I worked with Tess on the NYC Sex Bloggers calendar one of the first things we did was to contact sex related companies asking for them to help sponsor the calendar. At the time we didn’t have a product to show them but only a concept of what we wanted to do. Several of these companies stepped forward to become sponsors on the calendar making it possible for us to produce it. Without Njoy we would never have been able to do this after losing our sponsorship for printing of the calendar. What amazed me at the time is that these companies took such a chance on us. Tess and I had no experience producing a calendar but our sponsors believed in what we were trying to do and climbed aboard with us. By the time our calendar release party rolled around companies were now contacting us asking to be part of this project and support Sex Work Awareness.

Recently I worked on finding a presenting sponsor for Sex 2.0 in Washington DC on May 9th. I approached SexToy.com and asked them if they would be interested. I don’t think I have to tell anyone how much money is involved in being the main sponsor on an event or how many of the companies we deal with are laying off people because of this shitty economy.

But to my great delight after learning what this event was about SexToy.com agreed and are now the main presenting sponsor for Sex 2.0. I look at a company like this that could very easily have spent that money on advertising, buying links or giving away more sex toys but instead stepped up to sponsor this one day event.

I still shop at my local Mom and Pop hardware store instead of Home Depot. I don’t always look for the best price or the fanciest online site. I give my business to companies that I feel give something back with their profits. As I have said before I do not make money on my blog. The companies you see under my “Diva Likes” list are companies I personally believe in and would recommend to others. I can buy the Njoy Eleven (because Greg hasn’t given me one yet!) on any site for the same exact price. When I finally do purchase it I know I am going to from a company that to me is a true part of this CommUNITY I am involved in. Not one that just gives us free sex toys or has reviews on their sites for us to read. Not a company that makes friends with all of us on twitter or Facebook but one that actually shows us that they are part of this CommUNITY and shows their support for us.

I personally want to thank SexToy.com for agreeing to be that presenting sponsor on Sex 2.0 and putting their profits back into our CommUNITY. For me personally that is what I look for when I chose where to spend my money.

Out With The Old, In With The New

Do I need crazy? Do I want crazy? Ask me one minute, I’ll give you one answer. Ask me another and you’ll get a different one.

I have thought about what to write for my New Year’s post and if I even wanted to recall 2008 at all. I ushered in that year as a first class passenger riding the crazy train. I spent the first half of 2008 trying to find my way and knowing that I needed to get off that crazy train if I was ever going to be happy again.

The quote above is something Tess had written in her New Year’s post last year and like so many things that Tess writes it really struck home with me. It became my constant companion those first few months of the year with all of the crazy things that were going on in my life.

One of the best things I did in 2008 was start therapy. I found a wonderful therapist who has helped me tremendously this year. My only regret is that I spent several months in the beginning not telling her the full truth of what was really going on in my life. Once I opened up and was totally honest with her everything for me changed.

I think the turning point for me this year was my trip to California with Tess over 4th of July. It gave me the space and time I needed to make the decisions in my life that I knew all along but couldn’t find the strength for.

August found me in the center of a blogstorm when after Dacia, Rachel and Tess all spoke out about Jefferson aka Onelifetaketwo I also made the decision to do the same. I then did something I always thought and said I would never do and that was talk about my true relationship with Jefferson which you can read about here, here and here. Since that time I have often said that the only thing good about my relationship with Jefferson was the sex. Thankfully I have since come to know that even that was mediocre at best.

Many things changed for me in September when Tess came up with the brilliant idea to create the NYC Sex Bloggers Calendar as a benefit for Sex Work Awareness. My world was opened up to an entirely new CommUNITY of people and companies. I found many new friends and saw the wonderful things that this CommUNITY could do when we all worked together.

I learned that not only did I have nice legs but I had some nice cleavage too. All thanks once again to my friend Tess.

In November we had our calendar launch party that was a huge success although some of the best stories came from the after party later at our hotel. I got the best foot rub I have ever had and made some life long friends that night. My only regret is that I didn’t win that damn Eleven from Njoy our major sponsor of the calendar. I also found myself somewhere that in a million years I would never have dreamed of. Time Out – New York.

December was extremely busy for me between the upcoming holiday’s and working on promoting and selling the calendar. It was also an emotional month when I attended the SWP holiday meet and greet and the sex workers vigil. They both left their mark on me.

Now it is 2009 and time to look at the future. 2008 was one of the most difficult years I have had in my life. There were some wonderful things I found in 2008 with all the new friends I made and the things I discovered about myself but with that came a lot of pain, hurt and sadness. I hope to never have a year like that again. There are many new changes in my future now that I am finally headed in the right direction. Some will be just as difficult as the ones in 2008 but the difference is that these are all positive changes that will hopefully lead me to happiness.


Dec 09 2008

My Reason Why

I have touched on this a little bit in a few posts that I have written recently but after reading Dacia’s latest post on both her blog and Bound Not Gagged I wanted to say something more about my personal reasons for being involved with the NYC Sex Bloggers Calendar.

Tess had come up with the idea to create the calendar which I thought was a great thing for all of us together to do but it was choosing who would benefit from the sales of the calendar that was most important. I didn’t get involved and do all of this work for page loads, name recognition or the media I have received. I did it because it was something that personally touched my life and I believed in which all basically started from an email I received from Dacia before the calendar was ever a thought.

I had written what I considered one simple sentence in a post but it struck her deeply. She sent me an email about what I had written and asked me some questions. She gave me some things to think about and boy did I. We have had several conversations since then on this and what I realized is that what I wrote was coming from something more personal in my life at that moment yet it was a blanket statement towards all sex workers. It also showed me that my only impression or knowledge of sex workers was from both the media and entertainment industry.

It was shortly after this that the calendar idea came up and Sex Work Awareness was chosen as the organization that would benefit. My passion and drive on this is because it is something I not only believe in but am actual proof of. Because of my life as a blogger it has given me the opportunity to meet and get to personally know sex workers. I was fortunate that I had someone like Dacia who spent the time discussing my views and knowledge of sex workers. I don’t think she ever realized what that one email would do for me or that I would not hesitate to email her for more knowledge. As this project went on Dacia would find herself the recipient of emails from me in my quest for more information about Sex Work Awareness and sex workers. I think we might have surprised each other in the end.

I also had women like Rebecca and Catalina in my life whom I saw first hand what can happen when the people around you are close minded and uneducated about sex workers. How the stigma associated with sex workers can affect their entire lives.

It was two days before Rebecca’s trip to NYC last month that she told me she would have to cancel because of what was going on in her life. She had been forced to leave where she was living with her family after being outed for being an escort. Tess and I worked our magic and made sure Rebecca joined us in NYC that weekend because as I said to Rebecca on the phone as we talked about what had happened, it was women like her that we were doing all of this work for. To be able to change the opinions of people and remove the stigma associated with being a sex worker. Rebecca was the classic example of one of the risks sex workers face in their lives.

I looked at my own life that was so similar in many ways to the life Rebecca and Catalina had with her families. We all were struggling to raise our children. Rebecca and I both belonged to the PTA and had been girl scout leaders. We never hesitated to volunteer at our children’s schools yet just as Rebecca was shunned once it was revealed she was an escort I know that there are many people in my community that would treat me exactly the same if my friendships with sex workers and fund raising for SWA was revealed. I would be stigmatized just for my association with sex workers.

By me writing one small line in a post and Dacia sending me that one email many things have resulted. I was one person who was able to see a different view and in turn put my energy into working towards others seeing the same.

Now just like Elizabeth did yesterday I would ask that you all also do something to help us make December “Sex Workers Awareness” month. You don’t need to know a sex worker personally to write about sex workers or show support for our calendar. As Dacia said:

I know that a conversation or an email thread with one person seems like a tiny thing. And throwing in $20 towards a calendar seems tiny too – but the sex worker activist movement is small, and every little bit counts.

This is a small difference and hopefully our contribution can help SWA accomplish their goal as outlined in their mission statement but we have to start somewhere and for me it stated with an email.

Mission Statement

We believe that all sex workers have a right to self-determination; to choose how we make a living and what we do with our bodies.

We aim to empower our diverse community by building the capacity of sex worker-serving and sex worker member-based institutions as well as the skills and resources of sex workers themselves.

We also conduct research about sex workers and the sex industry in order to better understand it, develop public education initiatives, and advocate for the rights of sex workers.

You never know when something you do or say can change someones views and opinions. A $20 donation to SWA when you purchase our calendar will go to helping SWA achieve their mission statement.

Diva Loves Catalina

There have been several people who have impacted my life over these last months and Catalina is one of them. As I have previously written I became aware of Catalina when she posted the appeal for her daughter this past summer. At the time I was going through a rough patch in my life and was not sure if I wanted to continue writing my blog.

Seeing the outpouring of support for Catalina was wonderful. It showed me an entirely different view of what this blogging commUNITY was capable of. From that point on I became a regular reader of Catalina’s many blogs.

It would be a few weeks later that Tess and I would start working on the NYC Sex Bloggers Calendar. Tess had asked Catalina’s advice on many of the ideas and decisions we had and before we knew it Catalina was on board as not only a full supporter of the project but also donated all her PR work for it.

Over the course of these past few months I have been lucky to get to know her even better. I watched as Catalina would offer her help to anyone in this community who needed it. I saw all she did to help Butterfly with both emotional and financial support these past months and the differences she has made.

I refer to Catalina as the hardest working blogger I know. Without her knowledge, guidance and hard work this calendar would not be the success it is. Catalina helped us to contact sponsors, sell days on the calendar and worked with me almost every morning in those beginning weeks to come up with new marketing plans for all of this.

What I find really special about all of this is that Catalina did not know Tess or I when she got involved in this. She didn’t do it to help out a couple of her friends but did it because it was something she fully believed in as not only something good this commUNITY together could accomplish but also her support of Sex Work Awareness.

This experience and getting to know Catalina along with many others showed me a different perspective of this commUNITY than what I knew all those months prior. It showed me that there are many individuals in this commUNITY who will not hesitate to jump in and offer their help expecting nothing in return for it. I saw many people involved in this project who volunteered their time to help make all of this happen without being concerned with promoting themselves. Overall this experience was amazing to see what all of us working together could accomplish.

As I got to know Catalina better I found we had things in common in our personal lives and that we thought alike on many issues. There were days we talked about sex toy raffles, free porn and what our kids would have for dinner. We jumped from one subject to another without having a problem following each other.

With Catalina’s advice and guidance we all worked together to sell almost 300 days on the calendar within a 10 day period. That was remarkable considering no one had even heard of this calendar until we launched our blog.

We were creative with marketing ideas and nothing was off limits. I think our best idea was when we made Tess wear turtlenecks and withhold her Cleavage of the Day pictures until enough days were sold. Our marketing of this calendar was even praised in another blog post.

After so many months knowing each other only online I would finally get to meet Catalina in person along with Rebecca when I picked them all up at Tess’s house to head into the city for our party.

It was big smiles and hugs when we met and the laughs never ended until we parted ways the next day. There were many great memories of my weekend with Catalina and everyone else but a few special ones stand out for me.

One was within five minutes of us meeting when Catalina turned to me after hearing Tess and I discussing the last minute details of the party and told me how sorry she felt for me acting as Tess’s assistant all those months. She finally understood that slave relationship I kept talking about. I think it was at this point when she first offered me meds.

Another great memory was our 3am pizza run. Somehow I ended up going out for pizza with Catalina and the guys from Njoy in the LES at 3am. I don’t remember who came up with the idea but I think we all decided to blame Match for it because he had pizza delivered to our room at one point that night.

By 3am I was already in my pajamas when we decided to go. I thought about my last visit to the LES and the girl who was walking around with nothing on other than a strap on. I figured I would be sufficiently dressed with what I had on.

You might wonder what do two sex bloggers and the owners of the best sex toy company talk about over pizza at 3am. I found myself in a packed pizza restaurant discussing design, marketing, sales, sex toys and sex. At one point a young (drunk) woman walked over to borrow our cheese. As she stood there weaving and looking down at us Greg told her Catalina and I were sex writers. There was no response from her other than more weaving. She then proceeded to borrow our salt and Greg once again spoke to her telling her the rest of them made sex toys. Again, there was no response from her. She returned our salt and stumbled away. So much for that exciting life of a sex blogger we have.

There were many things I would learn about Catalina that weekend. One was that she doesn’t like to get out of bed. Catalina likes her beauty sleep. That must be the reason she is so gorgeous. The next morning she was true to that and was still in bed while the rest of us were up, packed and ready. I’m not complaining about that because it did give me the opportunity to crawl into bed with her one last time.

Another thing I learned is that Catalina likes to over pack. I don’t know if it was the cold she was worried about or if she thought she was going on a three week safari but Catalina must have emptied out her closet when she left home for that four day visit. If anyone needed a corset for the party she had it. I needed a sweater and flip flops for our pizza run. She had it. I was waiting to see Marky D. Sade next climb out of that suitcase.

The last thing I discovered about Catalina is don’t take your eyes off your plate if she is sitting across from you. I was busy watching the make out session with everyone at brunch and when I glanced back down again my pancake seemed to have disappeared. (That could explain how she gained those 5 lbs in NYC)

In closing I want to say I am very grateful that not only have I gotten to know Catalina but now also have her as a good friend in my life. This past summer when I was at a point that I questioned what the hell was wrong with people I came across someone like Catalina who just like Tess will do anything to help anyone out. She has both a big heart and a huge amount of energy which she does not hesitate to put to good use for others in this commUNITY.

Some of you may have noticed with have moved from selling our calendar through PayPal to Audacia Ray’s store on her site Waking Vixen.  This change was made last Monday after our account had been put on review for the second time by PayPal.

Last Sunday we received an email from PayPal stating that our account was under review and they were requiring additional information for four transactions that occurred on October 1st, 2nd and 3rd.  We were able to provide the additional information they requested and our account was fully reinstated within the hour.   This however was the second review we had received since opening the account.  When we first opened this PayPal account we received a phone call from them questioning what exactly we would be selling.

We believe what has caused PayPal to twice now review our account is the word “sex” in both our email address and the actual calendar title.  Because of this we made the decision last Monday to move the purchase transactions over to Dacia’s store.  We were lucky that someone involved with this calendar already had a merchant account that made this possible.

It is obvious to us and many others in this community that PayPal is not good to use for anyone in the adult industry.  We were aware of others who had had their accounts frozen and their funds taken by PayPal for what PayPal felt was a violation for their TOS.  We did not think when we set up our Paypal account we would have this problem because there is no nudity in our calendar.  As a matter of fact our calendar shows less skin than the Sport Illustrated calendar does but we do not want to take the risk of having the funds in our account seized.

Who Can Take The Njoy Eleven?

Tomorrow I leave for NYC for the 2009 Sex Blogger Calendar Launch Party and to hang out with some of the coolest women in the country for the weekend!  I’m unbelievably excited.  I’m going to somehow manage to get to Urban Gypsy’s office in Manhattan and then go home with her for our pre-party party with Beautiful Rebecca.  I’m in Sapphic heaven!

As if it weren’t enough that I plan to snuggle up right between these ungodly sexy women, Tess has been teasing me with her Njoy Eleven.  Since the moment I saw her review of the Njoy Eleven here on BestSexBloggers.com, I’ve wanted to try it out.  See for yourself, and you’ll know why.  Go ahead, click the review and it will open in a new window.

Now you may actually have thought to yourself, “Ick, you’re going to use someone else’s sex toys?” I thought that myself, and then Tess pointed out, “It’s stainless steel – easy to sterilize.” Oh, they are genius at Njoy!  Now the question is, how do we turn it into a competition and what is the prize for she who can take the Eleven?  Photographic evidence may be necessary.

I’ll let you know how it comes (ya, I know, but I had to).

Who The Hell Are These Hotties?

They are 12 of NYC’s sexiest women!  They are the official pin-up girls of the 2009 Sex Blogger Calendar.   Curious who is who?  Have you ever wondered what some of our very own Best Sex Bloggers look like?  I won’t give it away, but Em and Lo did!  Click on the image to go to Em and Lo’s Daily Bedpost interview with our own Urban Gypsy and learn a little about these sultry sex vixens, but before you do, try to guess who is who.  Your choices are:

Audacia Ray is a new media professional whose medium is sex. Over the past seven years, she has been a researcher and curator at the Museum of Sex, blogger for sites like Fleshbot and Naked City, author of the book Naked on the Internet, director of the award-winning porn film The Bi Apple, executive editor of $pread magazine, and adjunct professor at Rutgers University. She is also the vice president of Sex Work Awareness, the organization that will benefit from this calendar’s fundraising efforts. Her video podcast lives at LiveGirlReview.com and her blog WakingVixen turns five years old in 2009.

Desiree is a brainy, sexy, foodie, geeky, writer chick from New York who has always had an inclination toward the naughty. Sex is her absolute favorite topic of conversation and has been since way before she had any business conversing on the subject (starting at about age 2). She never backs down from a Scrabble challenge and once scored seventy six points with the word ‘clitoris’. She blogs about sex and culture and life at Baser Instincts

One fateful day, for better or worse, Diva, looking online for a momentary escape from her household chores, stumbled upon sex blogs. Her life hasn’t been the same since. Meeting up with a notoriously perverted blogger triggered a resurgence of sexuality frozen under layers of domesticity and monotony. She started Debauched Domestic Diva to record her new experiences and the conflicting emotions her weekly trips to New York City spurred. Writing her blog, slowly becoming a technical guru and being immersed in a new uber-cool circle of friends has given Diva the spark she was searching for that auspicious day.

Sociologist, blogger, and activist, Elizabeth Wood co-founded Sex In The Public Square as a place for academics, activists and people just plain interested in sex to talk about the intersections of sexuality and society. Dr. Wood writes about sex work, social justice, human rights, and is developing the idea of the “sex commons,” the space created by the increasing number of web sites and blogs where people can share sexual knowledge and expand sexual freedom.

Jamye Waxman, M.Ed is a writer, author, director, producer, host and sex-positive feminist. She is the former sex advice columnist for Playgirl Magazine, the author of “Getting Off: A Woman’s Guide to Masturbation” and the creator of the Personal Touch Video Series for Adam and Eve Pictures. Jamye has been dubbed the “nexxxt generation of sex educator” by wired.com and she is the President of Feminists for Free Expression.

Lux Alptraum serves as Editor of Fleshbot, Gawker Media’s blog about porn,sex, and the web, and Editor of Boinkology. Career highlights include founding and running That Strange Girl (the first altporn site to feature both male and female models), interning at Nerve, and keeping the masses educated about sex for the past ten years. Her writing has appeared in Time Out New York, Best Sex Writing 2008, and GOOD Magazine.

Having been trapped in a painfully awkward phase since, well, forever, with little more than one measly, anonymous kiss under her belt, Mariella’s gift to herself for that pivotal 21st birthday wasn’t the customary forty of Heineken, but the services of a professional pervert. With that pesky virginity thing taken care of, she served a brief stint in Nailing-Everything-That-Moves Land, but ultimately decided to dabble in debauchery on a significantly smaller scale. When she’s not getting lost in the subway or the swirling language of Faulkner, she’s stumbling blindly through basic human interaction, blogging every step of the way.

Rachel Kramer Bussel is a writer, editor, blogger, and reading series host. She has edited over 20 erotica anthologies, including Tasting Him, Tasting Her, Spanked, Rubber Sex, Dirty Girls, Crossdressing, and the non-fiction Best Sex Writing 2008 and 2009. She is Senior Editor at Penthouse Variations, hosts In The Flesh Reading Series, and is a former sex columnist for The Village Voice. She blogs at Lusty Lady and Cupcakes Take The Cake.

Marie “Riese” Lyn Bernard
is a freelance video-maker, journalist, blogger, vlogger, fictionist, copywriter, essayist, re-capper, and aspiring cyber-performance artist based in New York City. She blogs at “This Girl Called Automatic Win” and recaps homo-sexy television at “Automatic Straddle” and for “The L Word Online.” Her work has appeared in Marie Claire, Curve, OurChart, Nerve.com, Clean Sheets and Conversely as well as books including The Bigger the Better, the Tighter the Sweater: 21 Funny Women On Beauty, Body Image, and Other Hazards of Being Female, Dirty Girls, Best Women’s Erotica 2005, Best American Erotica 2007 and the Lambda Literary Award-winning Erotic Interludes 2: Stolen Moments.

Sinclair Sexsmith is a chivalrous kinky writer, queer butch top, and feminist sex educator in New York City. He runs Sugarbutch Chronicles, a personal writing exploration of sex, gender, and relationships, and attempts to celebrate queer theory, sexuality, gender, and culture in ways that are expansive rather than restrictive, liberating rather than limiting. Mr. Sexsmith has degrees in both creative writing and gender studies, and his poetry and erotica has been published in various places, including Best Lesbian Erotica.

Tess may be a New Yorker but she’s really a gypsy at heart. Albeit a gypsy who sees herself frolicking through the forest clad in garments from the season Givenchy was high on the peasant aesthetic, nimbly avoiding stray branches and skipping over rivulets while kicking up her Prada brown suede stilettos. Tess is truly the embodiment of an Urban Gypsy, the title of the blog where she writes dark and moody D/s themed erotica, reviews sex toys, shows off her generous cleavage and generally reveals too much information. Several of Tess’ oh-so-wrong-but-oh-so-right fantasies are scheduled to be published in upcoming erotica anthologies.

Twanna A. Hines is a New York-based writer, editor, blogger and sexpot. Her dating commentary has been heard on NPR, and details about her rendezvous have been printed in Glamour magazine. She has written about sex, dating, relationships, men, pop culture and celebrities for Huffington Post, Lifetime, Nerve, Gen Art, Fast Company and others. AOL placed her site, FUNKYBROWNCHICK.com, on their Black Voices list of best blogs. Twanna’s sites have also been mentioned in New York magazine and online at Gawker Media, EbonyJet, Vibe and elsewhere. She speaks English and Dutch fluently. Get down with the funky brown at Funky Brown Chick.

So how did you do?  Did you guess 10/12 correctly?  8/12? I’m curious, leave a comment, if you would!  And remember, when you buy a calendar, not only do you get twelve months of pin-up sexy, you are actually helping to support the Sex Worker Awareness project that was founded by a group of sex workers and their allies who, after working with $pread Magazine for several years, saw a need for deeper support and advocacy than a magazine can offer. The organization was created around the core belief that all sex workers have a right to self-determination; to choose how they make a living and what they do with their bodies.j

It’s a win-win in my book!  Something for me to put in my office and a way to contribute to my CommUNITY.  If you’re in NYC on November 14th (that’s in just a few days!) then plan to make an appearance at the party.  You can meet me (oh ya, and the pin-ups) and the first 100 to arrive have awesome gift bags.  I know, because I’ve somehow volunteered to help put them together and there is some amazing stuff in there!

Babeland Sex Toy Review – Doorjam Cuffs and Pinwheel

Category: Babeland, Reviews, Urban Gypsyurbangypsyt @ 2:18 pm

“Did you bring them,” he asks, his voice a low whisper, his warm breath falls from my ear cooling enough when it alights on my neck to make me shiver. Or perhaps it’s not his breath at all that makes me quiver but rather the torturous anticipation of just what I imagine he’ll be doing to me in a few short moments.

“Yes, baby,” I say, hoping he can’t detect the slight falter between the two words that conveys my anxiety. His smirk tells me he’s missed nothing. Anyway, he’s certainly more than aware of the immense ambivalence I feel at the thought of being restrained by him. I crave it intensely and fear it in equal measure.

I rise, clad in a layer of diaphanous black fabric that pushes my breasts up and out and flows softly to the rounded bottom of my ass. I bend as I remove the Doorjam Cuffs from Babeland from my bag, giving him a view of my moistening cunt from his perch on the hotel bed with its rough sheets and ugly generic comforter. The Pinwheel, also sent by Babeland, is safe for the moment, nestled in the leather pouch that protects it and me from inadvertent damage. I turn back towards him, see that his eyes have turned from warm and sparkling to cool and determined as he contemplates having me at his mercy with a spiky steel instrument in his grip. I’ve tested the Pinwheel on myself, pressing as hard as I dared, making it hurt as the sharp unyielding spokes rolled over the soft skin of my arms and thighs, but never hard enough to come close to breaking my skin. I’m not sure if it can’t or if I simply don’t have the desire, the will to hurt myself in that way even simply as a test.

He rises from the bed and meets me. When his hands close over my thin wrists, the fine hairs on my arms bristle, alive with the electricity that flows between us; the air seems to hum with static. The restraints dangle from my tightly closed fingers making slight metallic sounds as the rings that hold the Velcro cuffs to the nylon webbing bang into each other. My heart seems to stop for a moment as he holds me immobile, staring into my eyes and conveying the delight he takes in his sadism and my somewhat reluctant acceptance of it. Turning toward the bathroom door, he surveys it briefly, then slides the webbing over the door and closes it.

“Do you think they’ll hold me,” I ask.

“Let’s just see about that,” he answers, as he grasps the cuffs and pulls hard. The restraints remain in place even when he lifts his bare feet from the industrial grey carpet they bear his entire weight.

“Your turn, bitch” he says.

Bitch. The way he says that. Slowly. Deliberately. Never rushing; his breath remaining on those last consonants so that they reverberate or perhaps it’s merely that they linger, echoing over and over only in my head.

Goosebumps rise on my skin as my back presses against the cold door.

“Lift your arms,” he commands, and he secures my wrists inside the Velcro bindings.

The bindings are tighter than I’d imagined; I’d been sure I could get myself free of these but even as I wiggle my hands inside the cuffs trying to get some slack, they remain firm. I try sliding them closer together so that maybe I can use one hand to free the other. He looks on, his smile widening as he too realizes I am really not going to get free of these. The plastic tubing that hangs over the inside of the door keeping the restraints in place is also preventing them from sliding too far, making it impossible without a lot more time and effort to get my hands close enough together to be of use.

“Enough, you bitch. Stay the fuck still. Now.” The chill in his voice settles me and suddenly his arm snakes out, palm open and for a moment the room is black and star filled as the impact against my cheek registers, synapses firing rapidly in my brain. It’s as if a direct line to my cunt has been tapped into. I get wetter, slicker, wanting this, wanting him and knowing he’s going to make me wait before he fills me in the way I desire makes me even more desperate.

I watch helplessly as he unsheathes the Pinwheel from its leather pouch and rolls it along his arm. I find myself fixated on the whiteness of his teeth as his lips slide smoothly over the bright enamel and his features settle in a wide smile at the thought of the sharp points of the wheel in the most delicate places he can find on my body.

It’s a sweet torture. Delicate. At least at first. He starts by letting the wheel slide gently along the hard line of jaw bone, from under my ear to my chin and back up to the other ear. I shudder with the sensation, the slight edge of fear at the possibility that he could simply press harder and mark my face makes my sex spasm and leaves me dripping. My thighs press tightly together to enhance the sensation in my pulsing clit and I squeeze so tightly that I think I can climax before he lets the wheel touch even my breasts.

“Open your mouth. Stick out your tongue,” he orders.

I shake my head. No. But I know I will. And after he slaps me again and again, I do. I open my mouth, my tongue warming and wetting my lower lip, and he places the wheel there, rolling it over and over, pressing harder each time as the taste of steel suddenly on my tongue. I swallow hard when he takes it away, the metallic tang settling against the back of my throat.

Rough fingers push the top of my lingerie down and my breasts spill out. Gentle, long strokes along their sinuous curves leave me sighing. Harsh, short slashes over my nipples make me gasp as my nipples tighten and pucker in response. He forces my thighs apart running the pointed spokes up the inside of my thighs and I tremble, increasing his sadistic glee, as he nears the swollen lips of my sex. I hear a sharp inhalation and realize it’s me, and I hold that breath, afraid to exhale as the wheel connects briefly with my rigid clit.

He keeps it there, pressing harder, then easing up, then gently again until I am screaming, bucking, coming. My back arching away from the bathroom door so that only ass and shoulder blades are in contact with the smooth, cool surface. Finally, my body goes slack. Were it not for the restraints straining against my wrists, supporting my sagging body, I’d have fallen to the ground.

He stands back, his erection raging as he takes it in his hand and slides his fist back and forth along the throbbing, purple surface. It doesn’t take long before long white ropey strands of fluid spurt forth, covering my neck, my bare breasts and soiling the sheer fabric that floats over my torso. He stands still for long moments, panting as he takes in the sight of me covered in the corporeal evidence of his lust. Then he picks up the pinwheel from the tiny kitchenette’s counter top where it was hastily discarded and begins to walk towards the bed.

“Where are you going, baby? What are you doing? Let me loose,” I say.

He stops and looks back at me over his shoulder, his smile widening, “I think I’d like to have you tied up just like that for a little longer, bitch.”

The metallic sound of the pinwheel hitting the bedside table seems louder than it should be and I wonder how long it will be before its sharp bite makes me quiver again.

NYC Sex Bloggers 2009 Calendar Party Countdown

Category: Urban Gypsyurbangypsyt @ 8:47 am


Our party is less than two weeks away, Friday, November 14th from 6:30 to 9:30, at White Rabbit, and we hope to see many of you there.  Get there early, we expect a crowd and only have 100 gift bags and we know you are going to want yours.

Due to popular demand, with your calendar purchase you can choose between tickets to Spank (or be spanked by) Rachel or to Touch Tess’ Tits.  We’re givers.

The raffle prizes keep growing thanks to so many wonderful supporters who believe in this project and believe that being sex-positive extends beyond the walls of their own bedrooms.  So check out the list on the About The Raffle page and see what you might win.  Raffle tickets are $2 for 1, $5 for 3 and $10 for 10.  Cash only.  Bring the green!

And since our calendar was shot at the fabulous NYC burlesque venue, The Slipper Room, what could be better than to bring a bit of va-va-va-voom directly to you.  Performing at the party are Jezebel Express, Weirdee Girl, The Luvley Rae, Darlinda Just Darlinda.  We’re hoping to lure one of our own pin ups into performing the burlesque act she’s been working on.  Have any ideas who that would be?  You’ll just have to wait and see!  And it will be so worth it.

And since so many of you are giving in so many ways, we’d like to ask for some volunteers to hand out gift bags, sell raffle tickets (scantily clad only need apply), refill our drinks (oops, how’d that get in there?) and generally make sure that chaos is somewhat contained.  If you’d like to help out, email me (urbangypsyt@gmail.com) or my able bodied assistant with the growing boobs, I mean, seriously, have you seen Diva’s recent HNT’s, (debaucheddomesticdiva@gmail.com).  If anyone wants to try their hand at DJ’ing and has an iPod full of super sexy music, bring it on.  Again, just email either of us.

We really want all of you out there to be at the party, but if you happen to be out of town, across the country, across the ocean or otherwise unable to attend, you can go to the Purchase A Calendar page and order yours now.  They will ship out after the party!

See you all soon…

The Last Sex Toy Contest of September – Open To Everyone

Our last contest of the month is open to anyone and everyone.  It’s very simple – several of our contributors are involved in a non-profit project that benefits Sex Worker Awareness – the New York City 2009 Sex Bloggers Calendar.  We’re talking a traditional hang it on the wall (but collectible) calendar with 12 of NYC’s hottest sex writers in a burlesque/pin-up theme.  Hot!

In order to help fund this project several sponsors have stepped forward and offered financial support and for that, we are very grateful.   However, there is still a big gap between the “money in” and “money out” columns.  One way you can sponsor this monumental project is to “buy a day” for $10.00.  This is perfect for brands with an online presence who want to list their URL or for companies with a product to sell, but it also reminds me of the CommUNITY Calendar our town made every year to raise money – where instead of advertising a site or a project, people left special messages on their anniversaries and birthday wishes to friends.  Either way, for $10 you pay for a day, but your message or advertisement is seen for the entire month.

Now the contest part! Go to http://sexbloggercalendar.wordpress.com and buy a day.  When you do, mention BSB Contest in the comments section to be entered into the contest.  For each day you buy (each $10 you spend) you are entered into the contest, so if you buy an entire week, you will be entered 7 times.  Easy!  Just be sure to mention BSB Contest or it doesn’t get entered.

Now tell them what they win, Bob…

Well, Catalina, the lucky winner of this contest has their choice of the Aneros or the Hitachi Magic Wand, which is provided from EdenFantasys.com, who is not only a corporate sponsor of the calendar project, but has also provided us all month with great sex toys for our contests here on BestSexBloggers.com

Thanks, Bob.  Now, go and buy some days!  It’s a win-possible win situation.  Ultimately you can’t lose!  It’s good on a karma level, it makes good business sense, and if you win you will have a very nice prize!

Cleavage of the Day and Njoy Eleven Review

Category: Babeland, Reviews, Urban Gypsy, njoyurbangypsyt @ 1:36 pm

noname-1
Cleavage of the Day Returns

noname-2
Cleavage of the Day with the Njoy Eleven nestled between my boobs.

Hard, unyielding lovers who look at me with eyes that convey a core of heat beneath an icy glaze are my preference at the moment. Nothing arouses me more than the trepidation I feel when met with a penetrating gaze that leaves me so exposed, bare and quivering before a stitch of clothing is removed.

The Eleven, Njoy’s ultimate sex toy, gives me a very similar feel. Like all things Njoy, it is constructed of medical grade stainless steel. The initial coolness when you first caress it evokes that cold stare. And caress it you will; its sensuous curves and inviting ridges seem to dare you to keep your hands off. Because Njoy has such a commitment to delivering a quality product, the eroticism of the Eleven is felt from the moment you rip through the glossy white cardboard packing and inhale the rich scent of fine leather. The Eleven comes nestled inside a black leather purse with a shocking pink lining and is simple and sleek enough to use as an evening bag. That soft, supple black leather, which will mold to the shape of the toy within contrasts boldly with the hot pink satin inside, is an apt beginning to this experience in decadent sensuality. Don’t rush through unpacking your Eleven; let your hands glide over the smooth leather while you feel the incredibly wicked shape of the prize it contains. Doing this reminds me of the eagerness and anticipation I feel when rubbing my lover’s cock through his trousers. (For the record, I am writing this on the train, and getting so damned horny and I haven’t even gotten to the good, the great, nay the outstanding parts yet. We’re still on the packaging.)

Because the Eleven reminds me so much of a lover, the first thing I did when I removed it from its leather purse was to rub it against my cheek. So hard, so cold, so insanely heavy. Dragging it down my body, not rushing the experience, I let it briefly settle into the cleft between my breasts before gliding it over my tummy. By the time it reached my cunt, my thighs were sticky with creamy juices and a heady musk was subtly dispersed on the cool air-conditioned breeze.

As the Eleven is double sided, I advise doing what I did (unless you are a serious size queen) and starting with the smaller side. Pushing that rigid, cool head inside made my muscles automatically contract, trying to warm this frigid but not unwelcome intruder. The series of ridges beneath the head rubbed against my walls adding another dimension of stimulation. The heft of the toy makes for easy masturbation. It’s so heavy that just pushing it in and out slowly made me feel like I was actually getting fucked. After coming once, and I do recommend you come before inserting the larger head, I was ready for bigger and better things.

Though I was soaked, I copiously lubed up. The circumference of the larger head is two inches. That doesn’t sound so big, but trust, it is. And I am a size queen. And I am telling you – lube, lube, lube. Heed this advice. Because the Eleven is stainless steel, feel free to use the lube of your choice, water-based and silicone lubes are both fine. Having just recently had my first experience with fisting, I was a little tense and a little sore as I pushed the head in. I was met was resistance that I knew would only by overcome by more pressure. Yet, unlike fisting, this was under my control and I took it as slowly as I needed, as I felt myself open to accommodate the Eleven. With one final thrust, I pushed past the entrance. And OH MY GOD, nothing has ever made me feel so full, there was a delicious pressure on my backside which made me wonder how it would feel to be double penetrated with the Eleven already in place.

The ridges that had previously massaged my insides were now in my hand serving as a grip. A well needed grip; between the Eleven pressing against my G-spot and producing copious amounts of natural lube and that of the man-made variety, everything was very, very slick and slippery. Drenching my sheets, I reached under my pillow for my trusty vibrator. Easily, rapidly I reached that edge, where I debate letting go, falling, falling over, cascading like a waterfall into a calm blue lake or fighting, resisting in an attempt to linger in the tumultuous flow. There was no holding out, no pushing back – I flowed, spilling warmth and wetness not into a pool of cool water but onto my cranberry velvet coverlet.

Breathing hard, I removed the Eleven; it covered with thin, translucent droplets. I let it rest against my cheek, its initial coolness nowhere in evidence as it radiated my heat. Once again my mind transformed it into my lover’s cock. Still so hard and alive, even after a vigorous fucking, that I can’t resist rubbing it against my cheek, absorbing its heat, and basking in that sweet afterglow when his eyes are no longer unyielding but warm, soft and inviting.

While I can’t promise the Njoy Eleven will affect you quite the same way it did me, I can’t see how anyone wouldn’t be delighted to own it. If you’re curious about fisting but have been afraid to try it, enter the Eleven. For me it was like fisting with much less fear, so it’s a great warm up for that kinky activity. It will last a lifetime with minimum care. Don’t slam it into a steel pole, and no, your lover’s cock is not a steel pole, no matter what he may say. Wash it with mild soap and water and dry it before storing it in its luxurious purse/case.

I won’t tell you the Njoy Eleven is not expensive. It is. But it isn’t expensive for what it delivers. If you don’t get tired of fucking, and hell I don’t, you won’t get tired of the Eleven. Unlike vibrators, which tend to melt down or can be prone to technical woes (battery acid seepage, bent connectors, etc.) Njoy toys will last your lifetime and beyond. So start thinking about to whom they should be bequeathed. I so want to see this toy at the top of Babeland’s Best Sellers list.

The only thing that would make this toy better would be if it came with a pulse. In lieu of a pulse, which could be pretty creepy, I’ll settle for a polishing cloth. I love it so much it hurts to put it away looking any less new and bright and shiny then when it arrived.

And because I keep telling you how incredibly big it is and even from the photos I had seen, I never quite grasped just how big, I leave you with this photo of me trying to get the head in my mouth. I couldn’t. I might have been able to if I pushed harder but in a confrontation between steel and porcelain, my teeth are losing. Having already rushed myself to the doctor when a masturbation headache convinced me I had given myself an aneurysm, I know firsthand the awkwardness quotient when asked the dread question, “What were you doing when that happened?”

Njoy’s Amazing Butt Plugs – A Sex Toy Review

Category: Urban Gypsyurbangypsyt @ 9:05 pm

I blame njoy for my masturbation session in TJ Maxx’s parking lot in broad daylight. You see, after Greg gifted me with a Pure Plug 2.0, a butt plug that can even be heaven or hell depending on how high you place it on your anal threat level (I’m at red alert), I knew I’d be working my way into it slowly (or is that it would be working its way into me slowly?).

I have a completely ambivalent relationship with all things anal. I love it and I fear it. Yet, I also fear the razor blade when Victor traces it along the curve of my breast but at the same time, nothing makes me wetter. The first time I saw the 2.0 I knew I had to have it; reminiscent though it is of when I used to order everything that looked good on a menu only to be scolded by my then boyfriend, one Joey D from Howard Beach, Queens, that my eyes were bigger than my stomach. When I place the 2.0 in my palm, wrap my fingers around its hard, cool and inflexible surface, I fear that in this case my eyes are infinitely bigger than my ass.

Still, undaunted, I figured it needed a break in period and so, on the morning of my solo sex session in my car, I placed my Pfun Plug, my large Pure Plug and a few packets of lube into my purse and took off for another day at the office. Towards the end of the day, I grabbed my bag and trotted off to one of sex toy laboratories – my office bathroom. Pushing my panties to my ankles, I lubed up the pfun plug a toy geared more to men for its prostate massaging qualities, and when it was glistening and slick let the cool tip rest against my puckered hole until I couldn’t resist sliding it in. The Pfun Plug, with its relatively narrow head, slid in easily. I wasn’t used to having something so long in my butt but adapted to it quickly. If you are a new comer to anal, this is an excellent, non-threatening toy to start off with. Like all things njoy, it is shiny stainless steel and can be used with multiple partners if properly sterilized (boiling water or a 10% bleach solution do the trick).

The Pfun Plug reminds me of a long, chubby finger beckoning you to come closer. Since its design is supposed to provide prostate stimulation, a fact I can’t attest to, it is longer and slimmer than other butt plugs. Though I was skeptical, having only used plugs with that distinct cock head like shape, I was blown away by how well this worked for me. Maybe because it penetrated me deeper but I just could not help but be insanely, overwhelmingly turned on every second that it was inside me. Squeezing my muscles around it produced wave after wave of increasing sensation that had my clit throbbing and pussy soaked. From the time I had left my office until I arrived at TJ Maxx’s parking lot, I was constantly aroused.

Sitting in the car, burning with lust, needing to come, I realized that like a good sex toy reviewer I had my pocket rocket in my bag. Could I, I wondered looking around at the people steadily flowing in and out of the parking lot? Do I dare? Being parked between two cars, one of course being the ubiquitous mini-van, I decided, yes, yes, I do dare.

Dresses come in extremely handy for the woman who likes to masturbate outside the privacy of her home. I highly recommend them and have at least two converts, Diva and BadBadGirl, both claimed they couldn’t wear skirts and both now feel sexier when they do. Score! Welcome to the Cult of Tess, er,  Tess’ Spiritual and Sexual Enlightenment Center, ladies. And like me, Diva now enjoys getting off while idling the time away in traffic. Back to the matter in my panties, I pulled out my pocket rocket, pushed my easily accessible panties out of the way and rubbed the vibe around my clit in slow circles.

I tightened the muscles in my buttocks more and more, firmly clutching the steel buried deep inside me, as the pocket rocket drove me to the edge of orgasm. Pressing my back deeply against the cushioned seat and parting my legs as wide as I dared, I diverted some attention to making sure no one was wise to what I was up to , forcing me to slow down a bit. I only had to stop once as a mom approached the mini-van next to me and strapped her toddler into a car seat before taking off. The thought of getting caught, of how wrong and how right it felt, pushed me closer to the edge.

Suddenly I was there. At the edge and tumbling over. Muscles squeezing hard, ass rising off the seat, breathing shallow and rapid, lips pursing into an O as my heated breath escaped in little pants, until aI moaned loudly, forgetting for those few seconds where I was and then hastily glancing around to make sure no one had noticed. Skirt smoothed, cheeks aglow and with a smile stretching across my lips, I proceeded to shop.

When I got home I continued my experiment by removing the pfun plug and inserting the large Pure Plug. I use the Pure Plug frequently but always with a degree of trepidation. Its cock-head shaped head would only be found on the largest of cocks (the head on the 2.0 would not be found on any human being – period, if I’m wrong, send photos. Thanks.) This time I was able to get the plug in rapidly and with a only mere twinge as it stretched me further. A little pain is a good thing. A hopeful sign for having an ass full of njoy 2.0. Just ramp up.

I have always liked the large pure plug. You can wear it all day; at work, going shopping, traipsing around the city. There is no way that plug would ever fall out of my butt. The first time I wore it was on the train and I was terrified I would end up sneezing and having it fly out forcefully enough to render the poor soul sitting across from me unconscious. Alas, no one was harmed in my trials. The Pure Plug is very heavy yet somehow less noticeable to me after hours of wear then the pfun plug. Not that I ever forgot either of them was there. I can’t say I have a preference. I love them both and think you will too.

After an hour or so, I removed the large Pure Plug, held the 2.0 in my hand and shook my head. Not quite ready for it just yet. The width of the heads of the Pfun Plug is 1.25 inches and the large pure plug is 1.5 inches. They both weigh 11 ounces. The 2.0 is exactly what you’d imagine given its name – 2 inches wide and weighs in at a wicked 1.3 pounds.

Pfun Plug

Large Pure Plug

Pure Plug 2.0

I will persevere with my clinical trials in an effort to report my conclusions on the 2.0.

In the meantime, look at photos and behold the beauty that is njoy.

Isabella’s Eyes – Part II

Category: Urban Gypsyurbangypsyt @ 12:47 am

A warning – this story contains non-consensual sex, something I am in no way advocating. I wasn’t even sure I wanted to write about it but the story seemed to go this way and I went along with it. And while I hope this doesn’t really need to be said, I will say it anyway, sex should always be between consenting adults . This is a fantasy. Carry on.

I found that I had underestimated how long I could keep the beast caged. In my mind I see my beast like a demonic panther, a jungle cat juiced on steroids and crack. It pants as it paces, I see fangs dripping with saliva and black eyes glowing as blood-red as the core of burning coals, muscles rippling as it strides until finally it sits utterly motionless, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

When Isabella agreed to come home with me for a final drink and an espresso, I quickly paid the bill. Though I doubted she would, I didn’t want her changing her mind. My car was parked just a few doors down from the bar. My friends tell me I’m crazy and I should just cab around Manhattan but I drive everywhere; I’m sure it’s just another manifestation of my need to control everything. To imagine myself at the mercy of some non-English speaking suicide commando of a taxi driver is anathema to me.

I now, after years of living in an overpriced, cramped Upper West Side apartment, live in Williamsburg. I got in at a good time, just before it turned trendy, when artists could actually afford lofts here. My home has three floors, a garage and a cellar. When I found it, it had been uninhabited for years, an abandoned guitar factory. I knew it was perfect, though at the time I didn’t have abduction and torture in mind. That’s a lie; actually I always have torture somewhere in the recesses of my mind. The cellar gave me the ability to transform my thoughts into reality.

Do you know how easy it is to make yourself a fully equipped dungeon? Between Home Depot and a few trips to a shop on Christopher Street that sells leather restraints which rival the best of British workmanship, the cellar now serves that purpose. If you look closely you can find evidence of my love of BDSM in all rooms of my house, but they tend to be veiled, like the wrought iron chandelier in my bedroom that can either be lit with candles or is anchored in solidly enough for me to restrain you. In the basement there is no such pretext. God, thinking about getting Isabella down there, her clothes tattered and torn, tears streaking her cheeks that still bear my crimson hand print, makes it uncomfortable sitting here next to her. I feel the rumble of the beast as its growl reverberates through my throat.

But I behave. I sit Isabella on my sofa, pour her a glass of Chardonnay and converse with her. I want to know all about her before I strike. My patience serves a purpose. I want to learn her strengths and her weaknesses to better manipulate her later. She tells me of her parents, both born of wealth and powerful in the corporate world, and her eyes fill with sadness. She was constantly attended by a string of nannies and then left to her own devices by the age of fifteen. Given everything that money could buy to placate their guilt at having a child after it became quite clear neither of them had the temperament or time to raise her. A childhood of disappointment is reflected in her eyes. I laugh to myself; she couldn’t make it easier for me to manipulate her. Of course, I don’t have to. I could and will simply overpower her, but brute force bores me after a while, to possess her body and her mind, now that, that is appealing.

I pour us another glass of wine, one that she will never get to finish and I excuse myself for a moment. She smiles up at me and I reflect that this is the last smile I’ll see from her for a long while. Going to my bedroom, I close the door behind me and take a moment before collecting the gear I want and laying it out on the bed: leather wrist and ankles restraints, thick and padded on the inside, studded with heavy steel rings, a collar, a crop, a few canes, clover clamps and a pair of floggers. I leave the knife in my bedside drawer, knowing it will be there when I need it. My erection throbs as I take a final glance at the tools of my depravity. As an after thought, I take a half empty roll of duct tape from my drawer and shove it into the back of my trousers. I smile to myself and close the door behind me, thinking about how she deserves this, how she asked for it with those fucking eyes of hers. I get even harder thinking about how beautiful she’ll look when those eyes reflect terror.

I walk over and stand directly in front of her, keeping my voice calm and level, I know my face betrays no emotion, and I like it that way.

“Stand the fuck up, bitch,” I say staring into her brown eyes and absorbing the look of shock that comes over her face.

“What did you say,” she stammers.

I reach over, grab her hair at the base of her scalp and pull her to her feet. I hold her there for a moment as she struggles, twisting, trying to escape. My grip is so tight she can barely move her head. I look into those brown orbs for a moment, relishing the pain and confusion, before my left hand arcs back and I swing even harder then I expected, my open palm connecting with her cheek and knocking her so off balance that she staggers back and falls onto the sofa and with me on top of her.

Tears form in heavy droplets at the corner of her eyes, as my hold on her hair tightens and I move my left hand to gently cup her throat. I watch her mouth move, but no words escape. Shock has stolen her voice temporarily and I release her hair, reach behind my back and retrieve the roll of tape, tearing off a length that will cover her soft lips and make even her words dependent on my discretion and kindness.

She attempts to push me away; small delicate hands push at my chest ineffectually until I tire of her pathetic efforts and slap her face again.

“Stop struggling, Isabella. From this moment on you will do precisely what I tell you, no matter how hard it may be. Disobedience will be met with punishment. I am fair, Isabella, but I am harsh. I advise you not to push me. Nod if you understand.”

I watch as she shakes her head vigorously up and down, nodding her comprehension. I lean over and kiss the top of her head before rising up and standing in front of her. I have excellent posture; it makes me seem even taller than I am. One particular woman told me that when I stood over her as she was sprawled out on the floor of my cellar, she could think of no other word than looming.

“Good, now stand the fuck up.”

This time, she complies. Standing in front of me, looking down at her feet, she’s afraid to meet my eyes. I reach over and delicately lift her chin, “Look at me unless I tell you not to.” Those damn eyes of her. I want to see everything she feels through them: shame, fear, lust, pain, disappointment, anger, acceptance.

I tell her to stay put, turn my back on her and walk to a chair across the room. I sit and drink her in as she shivers in spite of the heat.

“Remove your dress, lift it over your head and place it on the coffee table.”

She hesitates for a moment, I expected nothing less and I say nothing. It’s too soon to annihilate her though that panther in my soul will not be still until his bloodlust is sated. I control him as well; I want to enjoy her increments. And thanks to my fucking supervisor, I have three weeks before I even have to contemplate leaving her. Three weeks to own and possess her. I am rock hard at the thought and the sight of her, arms raised over her head as she shimmies out of her dress making me picture how she’ll look, arms tied above her head to the whipping post in the cellar, is enough to make me want to explode. I can see my hot come, pearly white against pale skin, covering her beautiful face.

She turns and puts her dress on the table and returns her glance to me.

“Good, Isabella. You’ve earned a reward. Would you like the tape off your mouth?”

It is not evidence of my kindness or generosity, though I want her to think it is, I want to hear her breathing, her sighs, her groans and her screams. I want her to repeat the vilest words. But if the silly bitch thinks it’s a reward, well, so be it.

“Walk over to me,” I say.

She does.

“Kneel between my thighs.”

She does, but her eyes are downcast again. The warmth of her cheek against my leg causes my cock to surge again.

“Look up at me, cunt,” I growl.

She does and her eyes register confusion at my change in tone. She doesn’t know what to expect and she shouldn’t. I want her like this, completely off balance. And this time, it’s all about what I want. In the past, the needs of the women I dated always came first, I have always been a strict and severe man (I hate to use the word dom, I hate buttonholing myself like that) but my focus had been on giving the woman what she needed while taking what I need. It was always about balance. Here, now, Isabella’s needs mean nothing to me. She exists to please me. And that thought makes me feel lighter, like I can almost float.

I ground myself by reaching for an edge of the tape and pulling it off her mouth in one swift tear. She gasps and I see she has cut her lip on her teeth when I slapped her. The tape leaves a livid red rash around her mouth.

“If you want the tape to stay off, Isabella, you will do exactly as I say, when I say it. Your comfort doesn’t matter to me. Not in the least. If it matters to you, well, I have told you what you need to do.”

“Please,” she starts to say and I press a finger to her lips shushing her.

“First rule, cunt, you do not speak unless directed to do so. Whimper, scream, moan all you like, but no talking. Do you understand?”

A whisper – “Yes.”

And so here she is, in one of the many positions I had imagined her. Kneeling at my feet, dressed only in a black bra and black lace panties, my thighs pressed against her upper arms. I slide forward so that I am at the very edge of the chair and push her face against my erection.

“Feel that. That will soon be in every orifice of your body. My cock will penetrate your pretty mouth, your slick cunt, your ass. Think about it, Isabella, the head of my cock pushing into that tight little ass of yours.”

I am rewarded by her muffled whimpering as she tries to shake her head no.

“Open your mouth. Swallow my cock through my trousers. Do a good job, bitch,” I say as I recline back a bit to enjoy her mouth. Her breath and saliva soak through my pants as she attempts to please me.

I abruptly stand, knocking her backwards onto her ass. I loom over her and a look of apprehension fills her eyes as I extend my hand down and help pull her to her feet. I place one hand on her throat, watching those brown eyes widen as I squeeze just a bit, and the other hand reaches insider her bra. My fingers assault her nipple, pulling and twisting it so hard that I won’t be surprised if it bruises. She gasps and I hush her, my eyes never leaving hers, enjoying, fuck relishing the pain I see there.

My best laid plans change right there and then. Those eyes, fuck the bedroom, I want her in my dungeon. I want her cuffed to my handmade St. Andrews Cross, naked and shivering in the perpetual damp. I release her, tell her to turn around and place her hands behind her back. She obeys beautifully. I grip her wrists in one hand and push her to the cellar door.

Of course there are lights but I leave them off. I know my way and having her stumble, I won’t let her fall, reinforces her dependence on me. And it makes me so fucking hard. A win-win situation. At the bottom of the stairs, I release her for a moment and unlock the door to the dungeon, turn on the light and stand back allowing her to enter before closing door again. Her eyes fill with tears as she takes it all in; the cross, the whipping post, the high back wood chair with heavy iron rings attached to the arms and legs, the spanking bench, the rings embedded in the floor and walls, and the array of whips and canes displayed on the wall.

“Oh god,” she cries, “please, please just…..”

I can’t help but smirk as I cut her off, “Just what, bitch? Let you go? Do you really believe that’s an option?”

The beast is hungry, so damn ravenous, he needs to be sated or at least have a snack to tide him over. The taste of blood, sharp and metallic, will suffice to quench his thirst; but just a taste. I know I’ll have to hold myself back but I need to have a little, I deserve it for my patience.

I push her over to the cross I constructed, a simple X design, bolted together in the center. I like the look of ancient things, all the hardware is old, no stainless steel for me but iron rings that I scoured flea markets, salvage and junk yards to find. The only steel is on the leather restraints that are fastened to the cross. I gently remove her platinum watch and place it safely out of the way on the long wooden trestle table I found at a barn sale upstate. Next, I wrap the thick leather snugly around her delicate wrists and test to make sure they’re secure.

Her legs are trembling so beautifully by the time I bend to attach her ankles in similar fashion. When she is secure I step back to admire her; long ebony hair flows over one side of her face like when I first saw her, but her hands are unavailable to brush the liquid strands back. Her skin is so beautifully pale against her black lingerie. I shut my eyes for a moment and contemplate that pristine skin laced with red slash marks from my newest cane. I take a deep centering breath, remind myself to enjoy her in increments and open my eyes.

“You look stunning, Isabella. Being so helpless and afraid makes you look even lovelier.”

She merely sobs in response making my erection twitch.

I walk over to a large chest, open the lid and am treated to my collection of knives. I chose one with a long steel shaft that is perfectly weighted in my hand. It catches the light and Isabella’s attention.

As I get closer to her, she struggles against her bonds fiercely. I am glad to see she has some fight in her, so far she has been a lamb; she no doubt believed her compliance would spare her, but presented with the evidence that this isn’t the case, she fights.

And while I am glad to see she has it in her, I want it quashed at the moment. I slide the knife under one strap of her bra and then the other, a mere flick of my wrist cuts through them. I do the same to the sides of her panties, tugging the lacey fabric along her slit, enjoying how she squirms as I let it massage her clit by sliding the scrap of her panties back and forth before pulling them free and exposing her shaved pussy. Her aroma fills my nostrils and it takes all my strength not let myself dip my tongue into her sweetness. Increments, I remind myself.

Then I return to her bra. I slide the knife under the center, between her breasts and when I cut through the fabric there, I let the blade nick her skin, a shallow enough cut, but deep enough to weep a thin line of blood, and am treated to a rapid intake of breath followed by tears that now flow silvery down her cheeks. I look up at her eyes, wide and terrified, and lick the tears from her cheeks. My lips find her mouth but she turns her head away and surprises me with a loud shout, “No.”

I hold the blade to her throat and softly ask her if she thinks that a wise decision.

“Fuck you,” she spits at me.

I have to say I am impressed with her spirit, still I can’t have this. I place the tip of the knife at her nipple.

“Your choice,” I whisper, “your choice. Your lips or your nipple. I want your decision now.”

The air barely stirs as the words escape her mouth.

“Louder. Loud enough so that I can hear you.”

“My lips.”

“Be polite, Isabella, It’s in your interest to be polite. Now say it again.

I know I’ve got her now; I see hate and fear both clearly written on her face and in her angry eyes but her fear wins. Her instinct for self preservation wins.

A whisper again – “My lips…..please.”

I kiss her, despite the fact that I’d like it louder, I only have so much patience and I want to taste her. Her lips are dry but they yield to mine, becoming softer as my tongue invades her mouth and wraps around hers. I take a step back and look at my conquest displayed so lewdly; her bottom half bare, her bra falling away from her heavy tear drop shaped breasts, aureoles a soft cotton candy pink, nipples erect from the chill and fear, and the blood that flows from the cut between them slowly crawling down her taut belly.

The blood calls to the animal inside of me and I press my lips to her wound and let the tip of my tongue trace the line all the down to her belly.

“Look at me, Isabella. Look into my eyes,” I say as I kiss her, never letting my eyes leave hers, letting her taste the blood that stains my lips.

“We have just begun,” I say as I make my way to the table and light the stub of a candle that remains in the candlestick.

I head to the door and shut the lights.

“Where are you going,” she asks in a voice betraying panic. I know she has seen how low the candle is and is trying to determine how much time she has before the cellar goes dark. Yes, I am that cruel, though I would never have cut off her nipple. It’s all about playing the odds, and I am excellent at calculating such things. I knew she’d never choose such mutilation over a kiss.

I take a final look at her, falling under the spell of those eyes that reflect the golden radiance of the candle, and then I close the door behind me, only lingering long enough to hear her sweet voice begging me to come back, please come back before I head up the stairs.

Isabella’s Eyes – Part I

Category: Urban Gypsyurbangypsyt @ 10:12 pm

I wrote Isabella’s Eyes quite awhile back. Dark, dangerous and forbidden, It remains one of my personal favorites. Though I completed sixteen chapters, I never finished it. I hope that by publishing it here, re-reading and editing as I go, and getting new feedback, I’ll be motivated to write what has been in my head for so many months.

Her eyes are what drew me to her in the first place; deep brown orbs flecked with gold that reflected the candlelight whenever she bent over the bar, an emerald ring surrounded her irises. I had never seen eyes like those and I am a man who studies these things. They were so brilliantly white, and the contrast between that pure whiteness and her inky pupils, so fully dilated in the dim of the bar, was hypnotizing. I had been watching her from across the bar for about half an hour – watching as her impatience grew each time she glanced at the delicate platinum watch encircling her fragile wrist. I watched her eyes when she picked up her silent cell phone and then placed it back on the bar, each progressive time with a louder thud. I liked that she was impatient. It made me think of the ways I could play off her edginess, delightfully torment her.

She was stunning all around; about five foot seven in her heels which added a good three inches, her body a rolling landscape of soft peaks flowing smoothly into the plain of her belly, the delta of her mound outlined where her simple black jersey dress stubbornly clung, her repeated tugging making it cling even more persistently adding to her irritation, hips that flowed voluptuously from a waist tiny enough for me to wrap my hands around. Her raven hair, a glossy sheet of onyx, fell straight down her back ending just above her ripe ass. I could see that she avoided the sun, though she didn’t look unhealthy, far from it, while very pale, her skin glowed from deep within. I knew that running my hands down that luscious thigh would feel as if I was stroking a length of velvet.

No one had spoken to her since she arrived, her impatience, her aloof beauty, the fact that she was quite clearly waiting for someone no doubt made lesser men keep their distance. She first looked at me with her hair obscuring one of those mesmerizing eyes, until she brushed it from her face, getting it momentarily snared on a ragged edge of a long crimson fingernail. Then both her eyes fixed on me. She took me in, evaluated and dismissed me in that one brief glance. Her eyes clouded with disinterest as she politely refused my offer to buy her a drink with a simple, no thank you, as if those were all the words she could bother to spare. It made me think of all the words I could make her say; words that would be so damn hard for her to utter, but she would, oh yes, she certainly would whether to avoid more pain or in the hope of some ambiguous reward.

I’m a good looking man by all accounts, tall, six foot three and athletic, dark hair and darker eyes. I work hard, I play harder. I turned thirty-four a month ago. I am a physician, though I chose research over working with patients. I am smart and charming. But my charm can rapidly turn and with equal ease I am quite capable of eviscerating you with one sentence. I could be called a metro-sexual and I take no issue with that. I like things in order. My clothing, my hair, and my exercise program all reflect my need to maintain a certain image. I am always in control. I don’t take rejection well. And I am a sadistic bastard. I control it well, as I do everything else, but there is no escaping it.

Schadenfreude; I derive pleasure from the misfortune of others. I have been this way for as long as I can remember. I don’t torture cats or drown puppies. My sadism doesn’t work that way. I like it to be personal. I don’t take joy from natural disasters, earthquakes, tornados, tsunamis, but you won’t find me shedding any tears either. There is life and there is death. Simple really, the strong survive and sometimes even the strong are felled by the hand of God. Still it’s mainly survival of the fittest and so I keep myself very fit.

If you are my friend I will no doubt hurt you eventually. Most chose to remain friends; I am almost pathologically loyal. I will be there for a friend who needs me even when it’s to my own detriment. But there is a price and that price is pain and hurt. The degrees vary with how much I love you. The more I love you, the more I’ll hurt you. And get off on it, but I’ll also be there to comfort you afterwards.

I walked nonchalantly back to my former spot at the bar but inwardly I was raging. I felt the red storm rising inside me as its crimson clouds encroached and began to obscure the landscape of my vision. This was the first night of my forced vacation. After a year and a half of working non-stop, my superior had firmly insisted that I take three weeks – NOW. Seeing her had taken my mind off the fact that I had only planned to use the time to do some renovations in my townhouse. I enjoy working with my hands, it helps to bleed off my rage. And now that bitch had awakened the slumbering dragon and my rage was stronger then it had been in years.

While I may be a sadist, I have always practiced my craft on willing victims. The wild, wide eyed looks I elicit when I place a lemon, salt and a blade on a tray are forever etched into my psyche and still make me smile. But now, I was feeling something very different.

That bitch and those fucking eyes.

If her look had been less reductive perhaps my reaction wouldn’t have been so visceral. I have always been able to maintain my logic even while the storm within me rages at gale force but this time I felt my sanity get picked up in those winds and tossed about like a cork in a raging sea. I was at the mercy of the darkness and it was consuming me, compelling me to act. Not voices in my head, but my own voice coming from my blackest center, telling me how much she damn well deserves it, deserves every moan I can already hear emerging from her pouty, parted lips, every bruise seemingly painted on with the jewel tones of a winter’s sunset; amethyst, sapphire and onyx.

I continued to watch her, though she never noticed. I watched as her phone rang, playing the repetitive notes of some pop song. I watched the line of her mouth harden as the bad news was related. I watched her slam her phone shut and fling it disgustedly to the bar. I watched and I took in her disappointment as I decided how best to approach her.

Striding back to her side, I flashed my million dollar smile, the smile that so well hides the corruption of my soul, “You’ve taken too much care to look ravishing tonight to be let down,” I said softly, “have a drink on me, it won’t make it better but it won’t make it worse either.”

First she looked as if she would refuse, her anger overflowing and staining her civility, but I kept my smile painted on and she finally gave in with an exasperated, “Why not.”

I motioned to the bartender for refills and got a bit closer to her but still maintained enough space not to make her feel crowded. I had already decided this bitch was going home with me, one way or another, but that willingly would be much less trouble. Once I had her safely ensconced in my townhouse, well, that’s when the willingly would end.

I have had years of practice, of being able to refine the way I hide the crimson tide that rises in ever increasing waves until it floods my soul. I can feel it rising from my toes, to my groin, to my chest until finally my vision relents to this tidal wave of scarlet. Until the moment I strike, I am able to smile at you so affably you’d never know the turmoil in my gut.

Talking to her was easy once I breached that wall she surrounded herself with. I learned her name – Isabella, call me Isa. I told her no; Isabella has a regal sound more befitting her. She looked at me as if I was feeding her a line, which I was, but she smiled nonetheless. Actually I had my own reasons. Say Isabella. Let it slowly run over your tongue, savor it. It’s a name I can feast on. I would be taking no shortcuts. I was ravenous and I was gluttonous.

I learned enough about her to make her utterly comfortable with me. I lied to her and believed my own lies as they rolled effortlessly out of my mouth. “You’re a teacher, Isabella? You love working with children. Amazing. I’m a pediatrician. I would never want to do anything else.”

We had each had another two drinks, before I asked her to come home with me. Those fucking eyes of hers were less focused due to the alcohol; they regarded me with tenderness. And why shouldn’t they? I had come to her rescue. I had stroked her ego. I had found more and more points of commonality, prevaricated though they may be. I had been the consummate gentleman, never touching her anywhere but on her arm.

I knew she’d agree. As I said earlier, I am a good looking, urbane man; women like me. At least at the beginning.

And with Isabella, I was going to allow her to like me for as long as my beast could be contained.

I figured she had another hour.
