They followed
Lady Aislynn into a room, brightly lit and decorated much like a farmyard.
Fence posts of weathered wood marched along one wall, strung together with
barbed wire. A large coil of extra wire hung over one post, the barbs gleaming
in the “afternoon” light with sinister intent. Straw had been strewn over the
floor and a pitchfork stuck out of a real haystack against a barn façade.
“What exactly do
you do here?” Chayse surveyed the room with disgust.
“Fantasy,
Officer Wolffe, is what we do here.” Lady Aislynn gestured in a wide sweep and
they spotted the other woman.
Nik grunted in
surprise and Chayse bit his lips to hold in his growl.
The woman stood against
the rough bark of a tree stump, with her hands restrained with thin, cotton
cord. Crimson nails contrasted with her long sleeved, low-cut black t-shirt,
showing enough cleavage to hide a deck of cards. Her head rested against the
tree and her scarlet lips lay parted and slack.
“Is she in pain?
Who did this to her?” Chayse demanded.
“Wait.” Lady
Aislynn held up her hand.
A man dressed as
a cowboy bandit strode into the room, spurs jangling. A Stetson shaded his eyes
from the harsh light over a bandana tied around his face. One gloved hand snapped
a bullwhip in the air and the woman moaned.
“Oh shit.”
Thank you for stopping by. I also want to announce the winner of Carolyn Rosewood's newest release, His Majesty's Secret.

Congratulations, Lyn! Have a great weekend and happy reading!
Very nice combination of the prompts. Achieved it quite seamlessly. Bravo
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! Loved this piece wanted to read more!
ReplyDeleteVery nicely done. The two are perfect together.
ReplyDeleteHere is mine...http://blog.tompoet.com/?p=312
My imagination went wild with this. Not sure what it's about but I have several theories. Fabulous how you worked in the main feature (barbed wire). Thanks for visiting mine.
ReplyDeleteVery seductive writing, setting the stage and leaving the reader wondering. Nicely done!

I love it! Bondage! They are in for a little demonstration.... Great use of the photo.
ReplyDeleteYou got it in one, Susie! :) Thanks for your comment. :)
DeleteVery interesting take on the prompt.
ReplyDeleteHere's mine: http://thebradleychronicles.wordpress.com/
You combined the two prompts seamlessly with a take on the prompt unlike any of the others. Good job!
ReplyDeleteStrange. Reminded me of Lady Heather from the older CSI Vegas series.

Thanks, Gary! That makes me really happy that you picked her because I used Lady Heather as a template for Lady Aislynn. You just made my day! Thanks for commenting. :)
DeleteBull whips are powerful enough to kill people. One Inuit in Alaska used a bull whip to kill wolves and soon used it to hunt caribou as a gun cost too much to keep up with.
ReplyDeleteLove the combining, which is a great idea! Your stories remind me of how much people will do to satisfy others, thus enslaving themselves and their costumers to sex and fantasy (or, rather, whatever is on demand). Great imagery and depth.
You saw mine, but just in case anyone else wants to read: http://saberdragon.wordpress.com/2012/04/27/flash-fiction-friday/
Also, another whip that could be used is a snake whip, which was used on slaves. A three-tailed or nine-tailed whip also works, but without the hooks or beads at the end--less likely to kill that way.
DeleteThanks for the comment. In the story, the bullwhip was only for effect, to titillate the woman tied up. Later in the action the "cowboy Dom" will use a flogger or a crop. But for this scene, it fit better for him to be carrying a bullwhip. Thanks for stopping by, :)
DeleteOh, ouch! Barbed wire AND a bullwhip--WICKED!! Nicely woven scene--great imagry.

Oh boy, what an intense scene. Nicely done. I love your use of description to set the scene.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like the working out of a sexual fantasy. The bigger story sounds interesting. Really cool.
ReplyDeleteYes, this is a special club where fantasies aren't vanilla. This is Nik and Chayse's first experience with it. Thanks for stopping by. :)
DeleteGreat take on both picture prompts they worked seamlessly together. I like the implications of the fantasy. Here's my offering http://remakingme-atiyatownes.blogspot.com/2012/04/flash-fiction-clearing-wire.html
ReplyDeleteGreat story, I hope you expand this one.
An excellent combination of the two prompts, I just had to read on. What a mixture of cultures there! Well done.
ReplyDeleteSmoking hot, lady! Love the combination of the two prompts into one seamless scene. Great imagery and scary sexy. :D
ReplyDeleteWow, two stories in one. And I loved them both! Think I'll go get a tall glass of cold water now!! ;)
ReplyDeleteHere's mine: http://wp.me/pReXn-fv
Great work on creating an intriguing scene charged with atmosphere, erotic tension and a sense that matters are about to move beyond the mundane. I liked the discomfort of Chayse and the club environment felt like one of the themed rooms you can find in love hotels in Tokyo (or so I'm told...) This is my favourite of yours that I have read so far. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading mine over at:

Oooo, I want to know what happens after that. :D
ReplyDeleteWow, I loved it and what a great introduction to a novel.
ReplyDeleteThanks also for commenting on my Friday Fictioneers at: http://womanontheedgeofreality.com/2012/04/27/friday-fictioneers-torn-flesh-rendered-mute/
Great use of the prompts. I had a lot of difficulty with it.

I'm not sure, but I'm pretty sure that were I to walk into a room with barbed wire and a pitch fork I would run for the exit as fast as I could! Although Lady Aislynn sounds intriguing and fantasy is usually fun!
ReplyDeletePowerful setup here, and I would definitely like to know what might happen next, although I feel the clues are all there ;-) great work!
