"I want you to surprise me. Whip my ass. Show me what a bad girl I’ve been.”

“Should I put the gag on?”

The scent of vanilla came with each shake of her head.

From the coffee table, he fitted the purple jelly ball gag into her mouth and secured it. Her pink glossy lips clamped against the silencer. What a pity she wouldn’t talk during her spanking. Hearing her cheery voice, any time of day always made everything better. Made him glad to be alive.

Kneeling behind her, he inhaled her musk. So juicy. He licked down the crease of her ass and bit her left cheek. “I’m going to please you like never before. Later, we’ll heat up some chocolate and you can eat it off my cock.”

Her ass bucked, and he sank his teeth into the soft spot where her ass met her leg. A muted moan followed. He stepped one leg between the spreader bar already affixed to her ankles. Placing his hands around her neck, he squeezed the chrome Cleopatra collar into a snugger fit. She bucked again and nodded.

“I’m glad you’re pleased so far.” A sound smack to her full ass brought a gurgling that climbed in pitch.

Sweat broke out all over his body. He removed the Wartenberg pinwheel from the inner pocket of his suede jacket before casting the coat aside. Kelli glided her upper body back and forth over the ottoman, but another slap stilled her squirming.

If anyone thought they could harm Kelli or malign her reputation, they’d have him to deal with—and he wasn’t one who offered deals to any devils.

“Impatient aren’t you? Your cunt is so wet. I can’t wait to stick my tongue in you.”

He lowered to a kneeling position and claimed the paddle. “Someone put a nice coat of vanish on this old wood.” A rather rectangular whipping slab, it had worn the decades well. One glide of his hand against her pussy brought a squirt of cum.

Several licks cleaned away her wet present, and he thumbed her already hard clit. “Such a sweet pussy. My cock can’t wait to fill it with a hot load. Would my lovely lady like that?”

She nodded but with less fervor, likely due to her restraining collar.

Lucky for her she had a strong will to match her physical makeup. A lot of shit was being flung her way by the media. But if any woman could stand the heat, and stand up for what she believed, Kelli Culver was that woman.

Her ass reared toward his hand, and he worked all but his thumb into her heat. While he probed deeper, she rode his wrist.

Bit by bit he eased the fingers from her. “Now I must dole out your punishment.”

A raise of his hand failed to rouse her, but a current of cool air whipped between her ripe ass and his arm as he lowered the paddle.

“Now, my love. Surrender your ass to my wicked will.” © Shawna Moore

"Life Imitating Art is a lovely read. This story definitely has a twist that readers won't expect right off. I enjoyed the camaraderie between Jake and Kelli. The two characters seemed to really love each other and were dedicated to making the best out of their lives together. Life Imitating Art has a burst of action that will have its readers balancing on the edges of their seats and hoping for the best outcome. I recommend this wonderful book by Shawna Moore. It's a mini goodie that is sure to please." - Chantay, Euro Reviews.

"Shawna Moore has another hit on her hands with Life Imitating Art or should I say Art imitating life? Not for the faint of heart reader as there is a bit of BDSM and some interesting ways of using chocolate that would tempt any serious chocoholic to try in their bedroom. I would definitely suggest this book to readers who want to heat up with some interesting scenes that play through your mind as you read this book. My hat tips off to, Shawna Moore, since this is another book I could not put down. I have become a big fan of Ms. Moore's books and cannot wait to see what she has coming out next." Wendi, FAR.

"Short in pages but long in erotic scenes between Kelli and Jake, readers can t help but care for this engaging couple as they explore the steamy side of sex. When Kelli starts getting threats by an activist, she dismisses it, thinking nothing will come of it. But is she wrong? Shawna Moore s LIFE IMITATING ART is a delightful tale that readers looking for a quick, hot read should not miss." Romance Reviews Today, Holly Tibbs.
