Dark Erotica. What do you know about it?
Maybe you know a lot and are a fan. Maybe you have always wondered and just
never dared to venture into the darkness. Well, I think Dark Erotica is one of
those genres that people mostly are afraid to try. Some are even afraid to
admit it and that’s okay too.
What I have for you today is a group of
outstanding authors who write or have written Dark Erotica. They are going to
lure you into the shadows and help you understand it, maybe love it, but definitely
try it.
Each author had the choice of providing
an excerpt, telling you about one of their books using one of their characters,
or telling you why they chose to go dark. Under each name you will be treated
to something special from the author. Links where you can check out their work,
and what they are doing for the giveaway.
For the giveaway: Winners will be
selected at random using rafflecopter. You’ll be notified at the end and have
48 hours to respond before I move on to the next winner.
If you already adore Dark Erotica this
may be a wonderful opportunity for you to find new authors or win something you’ve
wanted.
If it’s new to you this will be a
wonderful adventure. Let us begin.
Kind Mind Games
There’s almost an unspoken line between
mainstream erotic romance and darker erotic romance novels that run
underground. You can see the subtlety at play. One will come with a safety barrier:
the worst in life will either fade to black or be nothing but a prefix found in
backstory. The other will take you there full-on, where the hardest mind-play
games in dark psychological erotica will play the manipulation out to the full
on page. It will also expose the hardcore kinks and lifestyles that sometimes are
only tapped lightly on the shoulder in mainstream erotic romance. You’d think
there’d be rivalry between authors on either side of the fence. I know I’ll
gravitate towards other authors who look at dissecting the worst, or the
kinkiest side to life. Yet there’s that understanding: readers are complex and
damn smart. Most times they have both a dark and light pull toward fiction. So
why read what I do? Writing dark psychological thrillers with M/M BDSM
elements, I look at the hardcore side to life, but there’s a harder draw with
what drives a person to step naked into those darker needs. Kink and mind games
all go hand in hand here.
Bio
Jack blames her dark writing influences
on living close to one of England’s finest forests. Having grown up hearing a history
of kidnappings, murders, strange sightings, and sexual exploits her neck of the
woods is renowned for, Jack takes that into her writing, having also learned
that human coping strategies for intense situations can sometimes make the best
of people have disastrously bad moments. Redeeming those flaws is Jack’s drive,
and if that drive just happens to lead to sexual tension between two or more
guys in a D/s relationship, Jack’s the first to let nature take its course.

Byron Danielsen from Better the Devil You Know
Hello all.
My name is Byron Danielsen. Earlier this week, Mr. Deckard asked me to step in
for him to tell readers why they should read the book he wrote about me.
However, I'm not convinced the average reader should delve into this opus of
consummate depravity. Don't get me wrong—I am deeply proud of my body of work,
and I do feel that Mr. Deckard has done it justice (at least the very small
portion of my work he's covered in Better the Devil You Know). I'm
simply unsure whether the vividly graphic scenes are, shall we say, to
everyone's tastes. Also, and I say this with greatest respect for the author, I
feel at times he may have painted me in a rather unflattering light. It almost
seems that his intent was to sicken rather than to titillate, but I can't be
certain. He remains frustratingly close-lipped on the subject. I will say this:
I got exactly what I deserved.
Now,
shamefully, the book has been banned in a number of places which can make it
difficult to obtain. But Mr. Deckard has asked me to disseminate the
appropriate information. The one caveat that he insists on, and I'm forced to
agree with, is that readers take advantage of the free sample. It's only
fair... torture is not everyone's passion, after all.

Excerpt:
Of
Gods And Monsters: Hades
Hades roared a
violent sound as he grasped the duvet and jerked it off. The sight stopped him
dead in his tracks. An elfin hellfire rolled onto its stomach, hugging a teddy
bear. Skin stretching over beautifully chiseled back muscles, the little knobs
of his spine showed prominently, needing the attention of Hades’ lips. His gaze
drifted lower, his mouth dry as his glower came to his motherfuckin’
death—dimples of Venus—followed by his second death, a fuzzy, tight, soft cream
of heaven he wanted to sink into.
The kid moved
sleepily, turned and sat up, dark vermilion hair looking all anarchic and cute
on his head. Then the small fuck had to palm his little boner between
his legs with one hand while wiping his eyes with the other.
The hellfire looked
up, throat working overtime as his perturbed gaze swept over Hades. The petardito
gasped and bolted off the bed, cock bobbing between his legs while his small
muscled body flexed as he scurried to get away from Hades.
Hades grunted as he
rounded the bed, grasping the shit on the forearm, pulling the boy right
against him. The small frame shivered as the niño brushed against his
skin.
Bad idea. Bad
motherfuckin’ idea.
You didn’t let a
sex-deprived animal loose to find a pretty little thing, all cute and shit,
curled up in his bed, then yank the goddamn kid against your naked body.
That soft touch of
flesh ghosting flesh, ripped a shudder down Hades’ muscles, and was asking for
motherfuckin’ rape, right the fuck there.
It had been too long
since he had such a gentle touch of soft against his skin, fuck any intimacy
for that matter. And that desire clawed in Hades’ heart.
His dick went fuckin’
crazy happy, all rugged hard, pulsing with hunger and evilly spewing pre-cum
against the kid’s warm, tight belly. And it didn’t motherfuckin’ help the
little spitfire’s case with the boy’s cock pressing against Hades’ leg. Not one
fuckin’ bit.
Jesus, he clenched his
teeth, he needed to stay fuckin’ angry or shit was gonna happen big time. There
were two things Hades had vowed to himself he would never to do, no matter what
the situation called for. He didn’t mind killing fuckers; ripping them apart or
torturing them and scraping their innards out. Hell, he had drenched a man with
acid, watched the fucker melt alive, and laughed as the dick screamed.
He would never, fuck
never, lay a finger on an innocent child. He couldn’t, wouldn’t do that shit.
He’d rather stab needles into his balls than hurt a juvenile.
But rape, with his
current state of sexual famine, he was fuckin’ dangerously close to breaking
that rule.
He pushed the kid
against the wall, grunting as his chest heaved, cock still spewing and dripping
juice, damn aching now too. He pinned the hellfire with a hand over his
breast—another stupid fucked-up idea—the flesh radiating under his palm, and so
goddamn soft, but solid, the kid’s heart pulsing under Hades’ hand when his
finger brushed over the boy’s taut nipple.

You say this is a harsh world, a cruel world; you say this
is hell.
This is nothing more than what you deserve.
For centuries, for millennia, we abided by your
rules. We created gods for you to worship to explain away what you could not
comprehend. When you began to suspect, we convinced you that we were myths,
legends, and superstitions. We captured your imaginations with beautiful
nightmares; enraptured, you begged for more.
And all the while, we hid in the shadows, cringing away
from the light as though we held no power even as we shaped your world. We
allowed you to live untouched because the loudest amongst us were cowards and
fools who believed you were so much more than what you are.
Weak. Ignorant. Oblivious.
Prey.
Already, you have lost your will to fight. Your comrades
have fallen. Fewer and fewer dare to act against us, for you know you cannot
win. The eternal truth is that history is written by the victors. In time, your
kind will forget that you were ever anything more than beasts of burden, toys,
breeding stock, food sources. You are what we wish you to be.
You question the status quo, the rules of our society. You
will learn that there truly are fates worse than death, and you will experience
them for as long as it amuses us.
You will know fear and pain, loss and devastation. Your
eyes, so defiant now, will fill with tears and despair. You will beg for mercy,
and your pleas will fall on ears that crave your agony. Your screams will echo
throughout Tartarus and entertain the masses.
And we will revel in it.

“Hey, there are more spanking things in
here than before.” Shane plopped himself on the padded spanking bench.
“I’m going to use every single
implement on you.”
Shane scanned all the objects hanging
on the walls. “Today, Sir?”
“No.”
“I was worried for a minute.” Shane tried
to come off tough, but his protective shell was thinning by the minute.
“Before we begin, tell me your safeword,”
Julien set the mysterious case on a table near the sink area.
“You already know my safeword. Do I
have to tell you every time we play?” Shane rocked his legs back and forth like
he was on a swing as he spoke.
“Recite house rule number six.” Julien
inched closer to Shane.
“Obey me the first time, every time.”
“And?” Julien folded his arms across
his chest.
“Red is my safeword.”
“When I ask you what color you are;
what do you say?” His
teeth appeared very white against his dark skin.
“Red to stop, yellow to pause or talk,
and green if I want to continue.”
“Excellent. Remember, you can call out
any color to me at any time. Don’t wait for me to ask.” Julien unbuckled his
wide belt, pulling it through his jean’s loops.
As Shane eyed Julien’s black leather
belt in his hand his cock increased in length. Julien had promised him one swat
with the belt before they played, and from the way he was gripping it in his
hand, he hadn’t forgotten. One fact about Julien was certain; when he told
Shane he was going to do something, he always made good on his promise. There
were no surprises when it came to discipline, since Julien always gave a warning
as to what was going to happen. He pretty much had everything spelled out in
their contract. The hardest part of the contract wasn’t remembering what was in
it, but obeying the tenets he had agreed upon at the contract signing.
“Strip down.”
Shane jumped off the spanking bench,
removed his boots, tossed his T-shirt to the floor, and slithered out of his
jeans and jock strap.
“Fold your clothes and put them on the
chair,” Julien ordered.
“Yes, Sir.” Shane quickly picked up his
personal things and carried them to the chair.
“Put your boots back on.”
“Damn,” Shane mumbled under his breath.
“I wouldn’t use words like that when I’m
giving orders with a belt in my hand, boy.” Julien snapped his folded belt on
his palm.
“Sorry, Sir.” Shane marched back to the
chair and slipped on his boots, then laced them. He hears everything.
“I love my boy naked and wearing his
boots.” Julien licked his bottom lip.
Julien fastened separate leather cuffs
around each of Shane’s wrists and then a set around his boots. The cuffs had
rings attached to them so that later they could be locked to hooks.
“Today I’m going to play with your
dick’s slit. I have a set of sounds of different diameters.”

Character
introduction to the New Haven series by Noel.
Hi, I’m glad to meet you. I want to take some time to tell you all a little bit
about the world I live in. Well, let’s just say it’s not a pretty one if you’re
a human who’s an unregistered citizen, like I am. My name is Noel and I’m the
leader of one of the toughest rebel cells in the colony. There are a few other
cells out there just as resourceful as my own and we’re doing our part to bring
down these supernatural motherfuckers who have taken over not just this
country, but the entire world. On every continent, vampires, werewolves and
dragon rule over humans. You may be wondering just how in the hell did that happen?
Well, I was just a teen when the supes came out of the closet, so to speak, ten
years ago. They hit us fast and hard and we, as humans, were not prepared. We
lost and those who survived and wanted to still live the good life, sided with
the supes. Fucking turncoats. Of course, me being a rebel, I still see hope
that humans can rise up again and take back what is ours. So I fight and I’ll
fight to the death if need be.
Right now, I’ve got a great plan ready to put into action that’s going to hurt
those bloodsucking sons of bitches in every way. I’m going to take out one of
their prime financial food sources. The plan is perfect and everyone knows
their jobs. Soon, people won’t be livestock or fuck toys for these monsters.
Soon, they’ll be in our zoos and labs begging for mercy. But they won’t get it.
Okay, I’ve got to go. Wish me and my team luck, please. William, Jonah, Mark,
Kelly, John, Dale, Connor and Kristen and I need all they luck we can
get.

I
write Dark Erotica because that’s what comes naturally to me. Here’s an excerpt
from my novella, Drago Star.
Excerpt:
“You’re an alien?”
“Wrong! I’m a dragon,
and you’re the alien on my planet!”
Drago took a step
closer, and when Gideon flinched, Drago grinned and slid his hand down his
inked abdomen, grasping his large sheathed cock. Gideon stared, his insides
tying into knots as Drago stroked his erect member, sliding the scaly sheath
down, exposing the glistening head within.
“I’m going to fuck
you now, and you’re going to beg me to do it,” Drago said.
Feeling as if he’d
been jabbed in the gut, Gideon shifted his attention to the right and left,
looking for an avenue of escape.
A smile appeared on
Drago’s lips as he produced the small remote the woman had been holding earlier
and pushed the button.
Gideon immediately
felt a jolt in his ass, followed by the sensation of something warm filling his
rectum. His stomach flipped as he realized what was happening. Drago had
activated the syringe, and the Persuasion drug was being injected into his anal
cavity.
“No!” Gideon cried, but the
drug was already taking effect and an intense desire for penetration shuddered
through him. Gideon trembled against the wall, trying to fight his need to be
fucked. Then Drago grew a head taller before his eyes, his face turning into
the head of a dragon and smoke puffed out of his nostrils. Gideon shook his
head, his heart racing. This wasn’t going to happen. This couldn’t happen. The
dragon’s tail swished across the floor, and black slits appeared in the middle
of large yellow eyes. The creature dropped on all fours and lunged at him.

Excerpt from Bad Things
All Carson’s whining and cajoling was getting on
Xavier's nerves. He lifted the lid on the chest of dark brown leather and took
out the ball gag. Too funny, that perplexed expression on Carson’s face when
Xavier dangled the object in front of him, then his horrified incredulity as he
figured it out. Xavier got it on him before he could complain much more. With
years of practice gagging plenty of willing partners (and one unwilling
victim), it wasn’t even a challenge, despite Carson’s desperate wriggling attempts
to evade the gag.
Sitting on his thighs, gazing into those shimmering
pools of terror, Xavier grinned. “That gag in your mouth isn’t the only toy in my box of treasures on that
shelf behind you.”
Jesus, his face. Xavier had only seen terror like that
once before. At least, only once in real life. Up close. Close enough to touch.
Close enough to kiss.
“It is one of my favorites, though, because it means I don’t have to
listen to a bunch of whining and begging. I mean, I love whining and begging. I
get hard for whining and begging, but only for the first few minutes. Then it
gets incredibly fucking tedious.
“But the thing I really love about the gag is, it’s so much easier to get
to know someone when they’re being quiet. Just watching their face, looking
into their eyes. Without a bunch of blah, blah, lies, blah, blah
rationalization to muddy the truth.”
When he started undoing Carson’s belt, there were a
few muffled complaints, even a couple tears, but then Carson stopped
protesting. Stopped struggling. That happened, sometimes. One of the strange,
beautiful effects of the gag: when a man can’t move, and you take his voice
away, he stops being an actor, an agent who does things to control his
environment and his fate. He becomes passive.
He got Carson’s fly open, slipped his fingertips
inside the waistband of his briefs, and slid his pants and underwear a little
way down his hips, savoring a moment of anticipation. Carson utterly paralyzed,
then suddenly panting, his belly rising and dipping with each panicked breath.
That trail of dark hair disappearing under his pants, leading, teasing.
A couple more inches down. Trimmed, dark thatch. First
glimpse of pale root.
A final, halfhearted, pointless turning of Carson’s
head. A silent plea.
He slid Carson’s pants and shorts down off his hips.
Fuck, it was overwhelming. Nestled there in the shallow valley between his
thighs, like it was huddling against him, warm and safe. Delicate. Rosy. Cut.
Pretty, just like the rest of him. Tempting to take it in his hand, to hold the
limp weight of it in his palm.
Carson, red face turned away.
Backing down his legs, then, tugging everything down
as he went, Xavier tossed Carson’s things to the side. Stood up. Took a good
look.
“Fuck. You have a really fucking nice body, Carson. I mean, obviously I
knew you had a good build. But it’s hard to tell, sometimes, if a guy just has
a decent frame and is slim. But you’ve put a lot of work in, haven’t you? I bet
you’re a yoga guy. Am I right?”
He got the camera, turned it back on and took a few
shots. Then came close and squatted down so their faces were just a few inches
apart.
“I don’t usually come out say things like this. I like to keep a guy
guessing. Keep the mystery, the suspense, you know? But I’m just going to tell
you, your body is my wet dream made to order. Tall. Lean. Just the right muscle
definition. I like being bigger than the guy I’m with, but I don’t really go
for those skinny, barely legal guys. You’re just right.” He leaned in closer,
whispered in Carson’s ear, “And your cock is perfect, too. Good length. Nice
thickness.”
After being quiet for so long, now Carson whimpered
from behind the gag.
Xavier took a close-up shot of his face. Eyelashes wet
and clumped together. Lips distended around the gag, bottom lip and chin wet
with drool. Then a few dick pics. Then he put the camera back on the shelf, and
turned around to have a good look at Carson. He could see what he was thinking
as clearly as if the guy were showing him a photograph of it.
He thought he was about to be raped.
That look exacerbated the pulsing heat thrumming
through Xavier’s balls and his cock, engorged and ready from the fun of
stripping and photographing and taunting him. Squirming just above all that
heavy, hardening heat, though, was that sickening cold twisting through his
guts.
But it fucking served Carson right. Fuck his petty
deceptions. Who gave a shit about his stupid stories, his faked friendliness,
about him fucking with his computer? Carson had earned the worst Xavier could
dish out, the second he’d gotten in bed with Brian and those other child-raping
pieces of shit.

Hi.
I'm Martin Quillon and I guess I'm supposed to talk about Quillon's
Covert. Though, to be honest, I'm not really sure what to say.
*Martin
nervously scratches his chin*
I
guess in the m/m reading world our story would be considered GFY / Taboo.
It's about how...
*he
scratches chin again and adjusts the baseball cap on his head*
...it's
about me and my son, Marty, and how our close relationship went from...
Well...how we became...close. Very close.
*he
glances at Marty*
Why
do I gotta be the one to talk? You're the gay one...wouldn't you be better
at this, or something?
*Marty
smiles at his dad and offers a small wink*
Anyway. It's about me and Marty...and I suppose I should... well let me say that he's the horndog who seduced me, not the other way around.
