For the naughty late gift givers...Naughty Spanking Stories from A to Z 2

Or for Robert Steinbuch, perhaps?

I know you are all searching for the slutty-clothed Jessica Cutler, so I will help you out a little - she read at In The Flesh's True Sex Confessions Night back in April and grossed us all out in truly spectacular form. Too bad it's not on tape. Here's F. Russell's Nerve.com Scanner recap. But be prepared, I told you it was gross! Here's a photo of her prop, post-reading:

I'm picturing people getting pretty paddles and crops and very hard spankings for the holidays and reading each other some of these stories.

Here's a photo from my birthday party last month of L. Elise Bland spanking me - she kept wanting to do more of it, but we will have to save that for private time. She spanked me back in 2001, I believe, and my ass was super sore for days (in a good way). She knows whereof she writes, certainly, which may be why her story "Every Good Boy Deserves Favors" made it into Best American Erotica 2006.

Below I've included a short excerpt from her Naughty Spanking Stories 2 tale, "X-Rated Exes," which she read at In The Flesh last week.

From L. Elise Bland's "X-Rated Exes" in Naughty Spanking Stories from A to Z 2

I exchanged looks with Erin. My pussy was still throbbing from the crazy orgasm, and the adrenaline in my veins was churning so hard, it had even drowned out the pounding music. I was up for anything. I whispered into Erin's ear and then pulled Desiree across me on the sofa so that her feet were in Erin's lap.

"What are you doing?" Desiree asked, as if she didn't know. I had never given her a real spanking before and wasn't sure how it would go over. Desiree always tipped me on stage and I returned the favor with a public slap, but never a private one.

"You said you liked to be spanked, didn't you?" My hand quivered with nervousness as it ran across her round cheeks. The first time spanking someone is always scary for me, especially someone like Desiree. I wanted to slap her hard enough to satisfy my own sadistic streak, but I wanted her to like it enough to come back for more.

"You know I have to punish you for spying on us earlier!" I scolded playfully.

"I'm sorry," she said, pretending to pout. "I just got, well, you know, kind of lonely."

"You're such a bad girl," I told her. "But that's why I like you so much."
I laid one hand on her cheek and gave her a pat so delicate, my palm didn't even sting afterwards. When Desiree sighed and jumped, I knew I had her number. She wanted more. She said she was a lightweight, but it turned out she could take a decent round. I slapped every inch of her ass—longer-lasting strokes in the center of her cheeks, light circles around the outsides, and sharp stingy pecks on the most tender parts. Spanking Desiree was completely different from spanking our customer on stage earlier. This time it was real.
Between spanks, I ran my fingers up and down the back of her thong, which was hot and wet from the burn of exhibitionism. Desiree writhed against me so that the metal of her garter straps dug into my bare thighs. Once she was completely worked up, I let loose. My hand started moving so fast and feathery, it looked like a bumblebee's wing. Desiree raised her derriere into the air as if she didn't know whether to come closer or escape.

All the while, Erin was watching. "Hey, don't hog her," she called out. "I want to get to know your friend Desiree, too."

I had so much fun at last night's In The Flesh - it was one of the funniest one's we've had, the candy canes were put to good use, and the crowd was just so amazing. These two fantastic writers, L. Elise Bland and Stan Kent, each read from their Naughty Spanking Stories from A to Z 2 stories ("X-Rated Exes" and "Solemate," respectively) in their adorable accents and simply wowed the crowd. I adore them both and look forward to publishing them many, many more times.

A Stan Kent teaser

Stan Kent is one of my favorite writers and I'm SO thrilled he's going to grace us with his sexy British accent and HOT HOT HOT story "Solemate" from Naughty Spanking Stories from A to Z 2 on Wednesday. Come on out for cupcakes, candy canes, and sexy stories! And thank you to the New Yorker for listing us again!

Here's an excerpt from "Solemate" by Stan Kent:

I moved the shoes in small circular patterns, getting the feel of the shoe leather on her skin. She seemed to like it because she gently rocked her ass to encourage the motions. It gave me confidence so I decided to try a little slap. Using my right hand, I raised one of the Choos a few inches and brought it down softly. Her ass jiggled and accommodated the shoe as I pressed the sole into her skin. Next I tried my left hand and then back to the right, getting my rhythm with each harder slap. It was just like playing the drums. I could do this.

“Harder. I want Jimmy Choo tattooed on my ass. I want to feel like you’re dancing on my butt.”

I thought I’d been doing damn good for a novice, but if she wanted more pain, who was I to protest? I raised my right hand high and brought the Jimmy Choo down with all the force I could muster, hitting her right cheek square on its sweet spot. The sound was awesome, like a loud clap, and as I pulled the shoe away and raised my left hand I saw the results of my handiwork. A shoe-shaped imprint with the Jimmy Choo name glowed pale pink against her China doll skin. I gave her a matching one on her left cheek and repeated the spanking from left to right until her ass was a tapestry of Jimmy Choo tattoos.

As I’d been flailing away, she’d been wiggling her ass, raising it towards me, uttering mews of encouragement and little moans of pain and delight as she arched her back like a cat, her fingers dancing over her pussy, patting her clit as I swatted her ass with a continuous rain of shoe spanks, her moans growing in intensity over the thunderclaps of sole on ass until I recognized, “Oh Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy. Yes, that’s good Jimmy. Beat my ass, Jimmy. Beat it good. Leave your mark on me.”
I was going to correct her as to my name, but then I realized she was praising the shoe designer, not me. So I gave her what she wanted. I was a blur of swinging arms and pounding Jimmy Choos.
