A Sneak Peek At The Art of Domination: Model Release

I have a confession to make.  Blogging is probably my least favorite way to interact with readers, which explains why I rarely update this blog.  However, this is also one of the best ways to share actual excerpts of upcoming releases.

Speaking of which, those of you who subscribe to my newsletter expected the release of the first title in my new domination romance serial, The Art of Domination, to debut last weekend.  That fell by the wayside when a major distributor, reacting to wide-scale censorship calls from recent dustups in the UK, flagged some of my most popular His Series titles for review.  That is just about all settled, meaning we expect to debut The Art of Domination: Model Release this weekend.

Sooooo I'm releasing an excerpt of Model Release, a domination and submission romance between brooding hedonistic photographer Nolan Beal and his reluctant model turned passionate submissive, Iva Moreau, herself a frustrated painter trying to reform her wild girl ways.  In this excerpt, Iva gets her first look at Beal's studio and one of the sexiest men she has ever encountered.

From The Art of Domination: Model Release....

I waded upstream through the driving music and into a loft space that took up the whole floor only to discover what I’d taken for a party was the most chaotic photo shoot I had ever seen, all bohemian chic debauchery with a GQ sheen.  Very pretty people in everything from street clothes to couture bondage lingerie strutted and mingled and preened amidst equally attractive stylists and hair dressers in the expansive white brick studio space.  Continuous rolls of uncut photographs and negative streamers decorated the walls while piles of celebrity rags and couture trade mags lay in disarray like so much glossy clutter in corners and on low glass coffee tables and along the thick window sills where long-limbed girls lounged while flipping pages.  Rolling metal racks of clothing parceled a large section of the floor into a high fashion maze that part of me would have loved exploring.  All manner of commercial lights, either stilted up tall on metal stands or winched up at extreme angles from the exposed pipes running along the ceiling, focused obsessively on a strikingly plain paper backdrop.

Shooting had apparently paused while a little sylph of a brunette makeup artist with eye pencils tucked behind her ears and lip liners gripped between her fingers like pens touched up the color on a curvy beauty with a distinctly Brazilian flare to her light eyes and latte-tan complexion—the Giselle sort.  The model wriggled uncomfortably for a moment in her black teddy, which might have been downright modest had it not been made of tighter-than-skin latex.  The only prop with her on set was a waist-high table in the shape of a Doric column.

The dark-haired man standing a few feet from them caught my attention, well, for a couple of reasons.  While the flurry of music and activity caught everyone else up in this sense of constant movement and energy—a sort of atmospheric attention deficit disorder—he stood still and steady and tall in the middle of the chaos like it was his natural habitat, at home in the wild.  Peering appraisingly at the latex-clad model and her artist in attendance, he gripped a half-empty bottle of rum loosely in one hand, the long fingers of the other hand drumming thoughtfully against his leg.  “Devil may care” was a phrase coined for men like him, who wore it with ease in a sultry expression and power-at-rest posture.  The whole shoot looked very urban Dionysian, reimagined Bacchanalia with a twenty-first century twist, with that particular male model cast as the god of debauchery and drink himself.

Also… a girl just didn’t see a man that handsome every day, and he was gorgeous even by model standards.  He wore his thick black hair cut short enough to ruffle like a roguish party-boy crown.  That had to have been hours of work for some proud hairstylist, to be sure.  And the perfectly trimmed five o’clock shadow along his hard-angled jaw, too.  The light purse to his full, wine pink lips came off part smile, part knowing smirk—the kind that always left me torn between wanting to kiss a guy and slap him.  Maybe both, a few times.

 

No shirt above his low-ridding, loose blue jeans.  Nice juxtaposition, I thought, between baring that smooth, tanned chest and lean torso and just hinting at the shape of his muscular ass and thighs under the sturdy denim.  His dusty black motorcycle boots and the rock star heavy metal cross on the silver chain around his neck completed the God of Sex, Thunder, and Jack Daniels look.  Not bad at all, I thought.  Maybe this Beal guy knew what he was doing, at least when it came to staging.  Certainly had me throbbing from my temples to my fingertips, from my chest to deep between my legs.

The Art of Domination: Model Release is part 1 of 8 in a domination and romance serial in the vein of the bestselling His (Billionaire Domination) Series.  Like the His Series, the first installment will be available for 99 cents, and all subsequent installments will debut for 99 cents before reverting to the normal price of $2.99.

I hope everyone is as excited for The Art of Domination as they were for the His Series.  I've worked hard to make Nolan as sexy, dominant, and endearing as Adrian Knight but in his own swaggering rock star/sex god way.  :) 

The Cirque de Plaisir is coming to town!

Updates, update, updates!

Things got away from me, so I never managed to do blog posts for the releases of For His Sake: His #7 and In His World: His #8.  They are, of course, both available now on Amazon, B&N, All Romance, BookStrand, and Kobo.  Apple, which takes quite a while to approve erotic romance titles, started approving the His titles tonight.  I'm hoping all of them go live on Apple in the next several days.  The only downside, of course, is that Apple readers don't get the 99 cent debut promo price.

But what I really wanted to share was the approaching release of the first Erika Masten domination romance novel--The Ringmaster: Cirque de Plaisir.

The Book Blurb:
Cirque de Plaisir. Circus of Pleasure.  An upscale underground theatrical pageant of desire and allure.  A masked BDSM spectacle bringing forbidden fantasies to life for the select few with the power, wealth, and influence to secure an invitation.

For Donovan Haigh, the man they all call Ringmaster, the Cirque de Plaisir is illusion, showmanship, and domination brought to the level of performance art.  It is the culmination and affirmation of his grasp of human nature mixed with business acumen and sheer force of will. And no one dares ask what wounds and personal losses underlie the Ringmaster’s resolve to maintain that unwavering control.

For Olivia Keane, the Circus of Pleasure is a vision in the night, a hunger in the dark, and a promise of freedom couched in the terms of submission.   Become the Ringmaster’s slave and escape the grasp of her manipulative, belittling family.  Succumb to the tightrope-taut sexual tension between the showman Dom and herself and blossom in the warmth of the spotlight and Donovan Haigh’s embrace.

But when the Ringmaster’s slave becomes the star of the show, drawing the lion’s share of attention and princely sums for private command performances, will Donovan be willing to share either the spotlight or his submissive?  The Ringmaster’s hold on Olivia and his own self-control begins to fray as powerful admirers try to woo her away, and at least one suitor proves he is not who he seems.  Old pains and family hatreds will not be so easy to escape for the Ringmaster and his slave, even in their secreted world of glamour and passion.

 

I'm still not ready to announce the release date, though I have hinted several times at a late February release. Only two weeks of the month left; it must be soon! The ebook will come out first, with the paperback (my first!) a few days later--hard copy through Amazon only. Aaand I have...bookmarks! Many many pretty pretty bookmarks.

Beginning March 4, The Ringmaster will be one of the sixteen feature titles on the Insatiable Reads Book Tour.  We'll be doing a slew of blog appearances, many of which will include giveaways, include a "grand giveaway" of a Kindle Paperwhite pre-loaded with all sixteen tour titles.  Any paperbacks I give away will certainly include my pretty bookmarks.  In fact, as long as I have some left, I'm willing to mail bookmarks to any readers who send me their mailing address.  (I promise to keep all addresses confidential and use them only for the intended purpose of sending the bookmarks.  I hate spam and junkmail as much as the next person!)

So...while you're waiting for The Ringmaster...would you like a little excerpt?

***

Gwynne leaned my way, without taking her eyes off the men and women tossing tools and heavy, lengthy pieces of metal back and forth as they began to construct a round platform.  “You warmed up quick, didn’t you, Livy?”

“Quiet, you,” I muttered with somewhat feigned annoyance.  “I’m watching this.”

Watching the shouting, cavorting, preening performers in their grease paint, thick streaks across their eyes—their version of masks—and the odd black smear at chin or cheek or flexing forearm.  Watching the positively enormous fellow, at way way over six feet, heft up a long metal pole laid against the muscles banding his upper back and neck, petite women hanging from either end of the steely bar and using it to swing and twirl as the strongman pretended anger with them.  Watching the playful way this woman or that man wiggled their butts for a smack from the black flogger carried by the suspiciously familiar blond foreman supervising them.

Watching…him.

He stood at the edge of the performance space, almost directly across from me, and I could have sworn for a moment that I caught those topaz blue eyes trained steady on mine.  A flare of heat at the suggestion of his attention, a flutter of wildfire lust, sparked deep inside my sex, under the slim black pencil skirt and between my legs as I pressed them hard together.  This new performer stepped into the light, all six-feet-plus of him.  No hat covering the luxurious waves of his short black hair…  Grease paint striping his eyes and the bridge of his flawless patrician nose but leaving unmarred that granite chin and rock-solid jawline…  No bondage harness visible through the loose V of his unbuttoned black poets shirt, just smooth skin and rounded pecs and Michelangelo-grade abs…  At his hip coiled a black whip with an alarmingly large handle that had me making unwarranted sexual inferences about what he had inside those snug black trousers.  Well, maybe not entirely unwarranted, from the way the contrast of light and shadow played along the thick bulge running just to the left of his zipper almost as high as his waistband.

Again without turning, Gwynne reached out to offer me her champagne bottle.  “Dry mouth, Livy?” Not just to teach her a lesson, I snatched the bottle from her and took a lengthy drag, then glared when she stole my bottle from the crate between us.

I had to concentrate on swallowing as the black-haired man sauntered unhurriedly into the midst of the stage-building activity and assumed a commanding pose with broad shoulders squared and with large, gloved hands clasped at his back.  As he pivoted slowly, little by little, to survey the full scene, I caught myself staring at his corded thighs in those skimming black pants and the curve of his muscular ass.  And those hands, encased in black leather.  My imagination kicked in so strong that I could hear the soft creak of the material, smell that lingering musk of animal, feel the chill of a single finger tracing my cheek.  My nipples peaked painfully hard through my lacy bra and black cashmere sweater in response.

***

I'll very likely post a few more teasers before release day.  I'm really hoping everyone is excited to read this; it has been amazing to write.

The last thing I'd like to share tonight is a song a friend just played for me that I think would sound awesome on a Cirque de Plaisir soundtrack: Flight Facilities' Crave You (Adventure Club Mix).

In His Wake: His #6 Now Available!

I have a new release annoucement and some news for everyone today.  First...

In His Wake: His #6 is finally available!  It is still processing at B&N and Kobo, but a phone call to Amazon got it moving.  Without further ado...

In His Wake: His #6 (A Billionaire Domination Serial)

A Domination and Submission Romance

When Chloe Bloom left the Brazilian island paradise of Ilha de Flor and her billionaire Dom and lover, Adrian Knight, she thought she was returning forever to her controlled, sedate life as an up and coming junior partner at the premier environmental law firm on the East Coast.  But that firm is exactly what Adrian needs to defend himself from a pending indictment designed to ruin him and pry ownership of the island from his grasp.  Facing Adrian again in a harsh winter metropolis far from their tropical haven, Chloe struggles to master the tumultuous emotional fallout the man seems destined to leave in his wake, even as he draws her reluctantly back into his bed.  She’ll have to decide if she’s fighting with him or fighting for him and exactly how much she’s willing to risk for Adrian and everyone waiting back on Ilha de Flor.

Length: 16,500 words

 

You can find In His Wake: His #6 now on all Amazon channels (including Amazon US and Amazon UK) and on All Romance eBooks.  It should be available shortly on B&N and Kobo.  Unfortunately, due to Smashwords policies, Smashwords and Apple readers will have to wait until the serial is complete and all titles can be released at once. [Edit: B&N has His 6 live now!]

 

We're only two titles from the end of the His Series now, and I have to take a second to tell all of you how much your support has meant to me.  Thank you for spending your hard-earned money to follow the journey of Chloe and Adrian.  Thank you for the emails telling me how much you love them and asking when the next story is coming.  Thank you for the reviews (especially the one vowing to come find me and the draft of His #6--that one made me smile).  Thank you for spreading the word about the His Series to your friends, family, and neighbors.

 

I also want to mention that I have taken over one of the Sunday spots on the popular erotica blog One Handed Writers.  Stop by and check out my posts!  Again, I'll be there every other Sunday.

 

Also, if you like the idea of chatting with other erotica and erotic romance readers and authors, award-winning erotica legend Selena Kitt has recently launched a reader forum on her site for Excessica Publishing.  I'll be around when I'm not writing furiously!  Which reminds me...

 

In the NEAR future, you can look forward (I hope) to the completion of the His and Weekend Submissive Series, the beginning of a new romantic domination serial, the return of the Bitter Creek Doms, and...a full length novel that will be part of a big multi-author promotional event that just might include a new book from a NYT bestselling novelist.  More details after New Years!

 

Until then, my friends, Happy Holidays and Happy Reading!

In His Grip: His 5 Out Now, Plus A Quick News Roundup

Yes, as the post title suggests, I have recovered from the plague (okay, it was a very very bad cold), and In His Grip: His #5 has been released.  As usual, it will be on sale for 99 cents for the early birds, probably until tomorrow night (pacific time).  Here's what I've got for you, lovely readers:

 

 



In His Grip: His #5 (A Billionaire Domination Serial)

This fantasy life as the sexual submissive for gorgeous billionaire Dom Adrian Knight on the private Brazilian island paradise of Ilha de Flor is crashing down around the shoulders of Chloe Bloom, beginning with her realization that she’s falling in love with the debonair British rake and furthered by the arrival of the ex-boyfriend who betrayed her so publicly with other women.

Adrian is fast losing control as well, stunned and wounded by Chloe’s distance from him as she comes face-to-face with his greatest rival and her former lover, Penn Ellison.  Knight’s nemesis comes well-prepared, armed with secrets that could pry the beautiful submissive from Adrian’s arms and threaten his plans for the island itself.

As she struggles to maintain her newfound faith in her rogue Dom, Chloe will discover the real motive behind Adrian’s seduction and the legacy of his family’s influence on him…and find herself feeling less like she is safeguarded in Knight’s care and more like she’s trapped in his grip.

Length: 14,600 words

Bonus Material: Includes excerpts from domination erotica shorts My Two Doms: Hot Hard Ménage #3 and Bridled: Bitter Creek Doms #1

 

In His Grip: His #5 is available now at Amazon (US, UK, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, and Japan), Barnes & Noble, and All Romance eBooks.  Once the entire series as been released (in December), it will be available on Smashwords and Apple, as Smashwords (who distributes the titles to Apple) does not allow serials to be released until the entire series is ready for distribution.  His 1-3 are also available through Kobo, and more titles will be released there shortly.

 

Aaaand for a quick update on upcoming releases, I wanted to let my erotica and erotic romance readers know that I'm taking a new approach to future projects.  I won't be pursuing any more of the "taboo erotica" projects at this time, but that does leave several other series outstanding.

 

While there will not be a Bitter Creek Doms 3 or 4, there will be future titles in the Bitter Creek Dom(s) series  (AND SOON!).  The same for the Dom Next Door series.  The series will continue with erotic romance novelettes (12-15,000 words each) and novellas (20-30,000 words).  That means stories with more plot and character development while maintaining the level of steamy intimacy and romantic domination so popular with both erotic and erotic romance readers.

 

The exceptions will be the Weekend Submissive series, which WILL have the promised part 2 and 3 (without a change in style or structure), and Claimed In Battle: Master Vampire #4.  People have been waiting a long time for me to finish up the vampire series, and I'm planning on getting that tied up in December or January.

And, of course, there have been a lot of requests for more titles like Satyrs, and I think the shift to a longer erotic romance format will be perfect for fans of my paranormal menage tales.  Look for a paranormal menage novella in the next couple of months.

 

So...I hope that's good news for everyone.  More erotic romance!  More Bitter Creek Doms and Dom Next Door--but as erotic romances!  More paranormal menage!  More Weekend Submissive!  Now, if you will excuse me, I have a lot of writing to do.

Under His Sway: His #4 Now Available

After many a technical glitch with distributors over the last week, Under His Sway: His #4 (A Billionaire Domination Serial) is finally available for purchase at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and All Romance, and should be available shortly through Kobo.

Here's the scoop...

 

 



Under His Sway: His #4 (A Billionaire Domination Serial)

When Chloe Bloom agreed to put her legal career on hold to become the sexual submissive of billionaire developer Adrian Knight, she did so with the explicit stipulation that their arrangement would last only three months—and the unspoken promise to herself that she would not fall for the amber-eyed, sable-haired Dom.

Knight’s motives were no less veiled as he courted more than Chloe’s sexual service, concealing his prior acquaintance with the wealthy playboy who so recently broke her heart and sent her fleeing her public humiliation.

Now, as personal agendas become secondary to the growing attraction—and unnerving intimacy—between the black sheep billionaire and his beautiful submissive, shared hopes soften old resolve.  Will the sudden arrival of a man determined to buy their island haven shatter those tentative bonds and break the spell of desire holding Chloe under the sway of her secretive Master?

Length: 12,600 words

And, in case you're wondering (and I hope you are), In His Grip: His #5 is making its way through the publishing process now.  We're halfway through the serial now, and things are going to get a lot rougher for Chloe and Adrian from here on out!

Erotica fans have also been asking about Weekend Submissive 2, and I'm happy to say it's going through its final edit now.  I hate to promise release dates anymore, with the glitchiness and longer processing times with the distributors lately, but it really shouldn't be more than a few days.

I hope this makes for a good weekend.  Enjoy!

At His Mercy: His #3 Out Now And On Sale

I love the emails and messages I've been getting asking about At His Mercy: His #3, and I'm happy to announce it is out now and on sale for 99 cents during its debut weekend, through Monday, Oct. 15.

 

 



Stealing beautiful, accomplished lawyer Chloe Bloom right out from under the nose of his worst rival isn’t turning out to be as easy as playboy Adrian Knight had hoped, even with the advantage of having her all to himself at his resort on his own tropical island.  She may be spreading her legs for him, but the rest of her remains closed.

Chloe’s plan to soothe the wounds of her lover’s infidelity by learning the art of separating lust from love, while enjoying the physical delights of her purely sexual submission to Adrian, hits a snag when the arrival of one of his former submissives has her feeling something distressingly like jealousy.  Once riled, Chloe can’t help letting her defiance get the better of her.

With his hands already full trying to tame his Miss Bloom, even Adrian is ill-prepared to meet the challenge as an insistent broker intent on buying Ilha de Flor and an investigator from the Brazilian environmental police arrive to complicate his life.  Both men are after much more than Adrian is willing to give, and one won’t take no for an answer, even from Chloe.

Punishment and pleasure lay ahead for Chloe Bloom as she angers, entices, and finally throws herself upon the mercy of Adrian Knight.

Length: 14,500 words

Bonus Material: Includes excerpts from erotica shorts Valentine’s Dom and Satyrs: Supernatural Ménage A Quatre by Erika Masten.

Warning: Explicit sexual content, including elements of light domination. Intended for mature readers only. All characters depicted in this story are 18 years of age or older, and all sexual activities are of a consensual nature.

In other news...

Sticky Sweet Books has confirmed for me that the release schedule for the rest of the His Series has been accelerated, so they WILL be coming out every week from this point onward.

And those of you who have been emailing to ask about the Weekend Submissive erotica series will (I hope) be happy to learn that Weekend Submissive 2 is my next title up for release.  It's my hope to get the backlog of releases pushed out and all the outstanding series finished up before the end of the year.

Here's to a very steamy holiday season!

Julia Ingram finds her world changed on the night she musters the courage to approach Kai Van Zant, a gorgeous and sophisticated man as far out of her league as he could be. Claimed and taken by the charming Dom, embraced as his lover and body slave, Julia struggles with her fears of losing Kai, his desire to breed her, and the adoration that makes her want to worship every inch of his perfect frame. Shy, lonely Julia blossoms under the influence of Kai’s gentle domination in these three bestselling erotic short stories.

His Submissive: Body Worship

Body Worship 2: Breeding Julia

Body Worship 3: Satisfying Julia

Next week...the release of At His Mercy: His #3!

 

And, as usual, I leave you with another song that has been running through my head.  Anyone recall the film 9 1/2 Weeks?  It was my first introduction to really steamy movies and to the concept of sexual domination (that pervades so much of my erotica and erotic romance).  Anyone recognize this Joe Cocker song?

 

 

In His Service: His #2 Released - FINALLY!

Delays, delays, delays!  Amazon took sooo long processing In His Service: His #2, so while the title was live and available for purchase at Barnes & Noble, All Romance, and Smashwords yesterday, it only just showed up on Amazon today.  BUT now all is well...

In His Service: His #2 (A Billionaire Domination Serial)

Luxury resort owner Adrian Knight asks the impossible of Chloe Bloom when he proposes that she remain on his private Brazilian island of Ilha de Flor not as a guest but as his mistress and submissive. He has no way of knowing he’s asking her to give up her law career and her life back in the States to relive the dark pleasures that she believes contributed to the disintegration of her relationship with her lover, playboy heir Penn Ellison.

But Adrian knows more than he’s letting on, more than Chloe herself.  Drawing the alluring but shy brunette into his service is as much about competitive instinct and settling debts with the Ellison heir as it is about the attraction he feels for the woman who resists truly surrendering to him.

Chloe’s training begins…

And the defenses the submissive and her raffish Dom have built around themselves crack as Chloe and Adrian start to understand one another despite their best efforts.

 

Length: 14,300 words

In His Service: His #2 is available at Amazon US, UK, Germany, France, Spain and Italy, at Barnes & Noble, AllRomance.com, and Smashwords.

Wrapping up, I wanted to shaaare.  :)  Most of my lovely readers know I'm a shoe tart, and I have shoe porn...er, smut...um appreciation...shoe appreciation today.  I keep mentioning in the His series that Chloe is wearing high heel sandals.  I tend to imagine shoes from my own extensive collection, like this:

 

 

And, following classic entertainment advice, I end on a song...

 

 



Happy weekend!

A Blog Vixen Is Born

Hello, World!

My name is Erika, Erika Masten, and I'm a seducer and corrupter.  (Hi, Erika!)  Specifically, I'm a writer of erotica and erotic romance, usually with a strong shot of dominating alpha male-no ice, in a dirty glass.  :)  If you have found your way here, you probably already know that.

So, yes, I have finally managed to carve out the time to start a blog, despite having numerous erotica and erotic romance series in-progress.  In fact, I think this is probably the best way for me to keep people informed of what's going on with all those series I have yet to finish.

For my first post, a quick update on the erotic romance serial that has just seen the release of its first title...  His is planned as an 8-part serial, each story being about 12,000 words, the first priced at 99 cents and later installments at $2.99 each.  Here's the scoop on the first title...

 

 

At His Whim: His #1 (A Billionaire Domination Serial)

Chloe Bloom is running away from a life’s worth of unfaithful men, the most recent being society scion Penn Ellison. The South American cruise is supposed to be her chance to forget her problems in exotic locales and the arms of gorgeous strangers, if only her heart and libido would cooperate.

Adrian Knight lets people think he’s the manager of the luxury resort on the private Brazilian island of Ilha de Flor when in truth he’s the owner, a perfectly poised example of the kind of rake you get with a few generations of ridiculous wealth.  Sex is a transaction for him, until Chloe Bloom walks out of the arms of Knight’s lifelong rival and into his resort.

With Chloe looking to explore this particularly male concept of lust without love, and Adrian unable to resist his competitive urge to claim what his rival lost, it’s a matter of time before she is on her knees and at his whim.

Length: 12,500 words

At His Whim: His #1 is available at Amazon US (also UK, Germany, France, Spain, and Italy), Barnes & Noble, AllRomance.com, and Smashwords, and it should be available shortly at Apple, Kobo, Sony, and Diesel.

Also...here's a sneak peek at the cover for the next release, In His Service: His #2, slated for release this week.  Though it was supposed to be released yesterday, some technical glitches have delayed it a day or two, but it WILL be available by this weekend.

For those of you waiting for new titles in the Weekend Submissive, Bitter Creek Doms, The Dom Next Door, Supernatural Menage, and Claimed vampire series, I am working away!  I swear!  I haven't forgotten you.

Thanks for stopping in.  I leave you with a melody that's stuck in my head and so appropriate to steamy tales of erotic domination.  Constant Craving by K.D. Lang, one of my favorites.
