...To save a life, one must be willing to open their eyes to what it truly means to die...
The
task of the Replacement is to uphold that very idea. Keep quiet, do
your job without any hiccups, and the Council will remain ever you ally.
For
Jackson McFlaurey, this should have been simple. A predictable, first
time assignment as a rookie Replacement. Unfortunately, he'll learn,
even in a world of balance there are no absolutes and betrayal to the
powerful Council will have him fighting to survive.
Only...
How can Jackson win such a challenging battle to sustain his humanity when he's already given his soul to Death?
Excerpt
Death…known throughout eternity as the Dark One,
the Grim Reaper, the one for whom the bell tolls. For many
eons he‟d been distraught over the increasing number of
lost souls. Therefore, Death went to request an audience
with the Higher Beings known as The Council.
His hope was to be allowed to gain a spirit's possession
before their predestined time of departure. The cold one
pleaded his case with the emotions of one who‟d grown
weary of the struggles he faced on a daily basis. He no
longer wished to watch the suffering that only a lost soul
experienced.
After a long deliberation, the Council of Universal Law
approved the change within the original Documentation of
Mortality and bestowed the gift of early soul removal to
Death.
Little did he realize how heavy of a workload he would
have and when the recent death tolls of those aged fourteen
to fifty increased, he knew he needed help. Not only that,
but when the bodies separated from their spiritual energy
they would decay within a twenty-four hour period, leaving
many instances of unexplained phenomena for the living.
The Council then created a compromise to maintain the
physical form until its natural end was conceived.

1- His Touch (Brie
Learns to Obey)
Instead of coming to her, Sir leaned against the wall and
stared at Brie—at her naked body, strapped down and eager for him. She basked
in his gaze. It was just like the photo she’d admired; her fantasies were now
her reality.
“Some men think they need toys to excite a woman, but I don’t
believe that. No, I believe firmly in the power of touch.” He continued to gaze
at Brie, without making a move towards her. The fact he was taking his time
made her want him all the more.
When Sir finally pushed away from the wall and walked
towards her, she was literally trembling in anticipation. When his hand lightly
touched her stomach, she gasped. All her awareness was focused on that one
area. He gave her a leisurely smile as his fingers made their way up to her
breasts.
2 - Marquis Gray’s
Flogger (Brie Learns Her Power as a Submissive)
“Turn and close your eyes,” Marquis Gray commanded as he produced a
ribbon of black lace. “I find lace far more attractive than traditional
blindfolds.”
He moved away from her, but soon returned, placing more ribbon in her
hand. “It’s black, like your blindfold. Feel it. I want you to envision what it
looks like.” She fingered the long, narrow length of ribbon. It was silky
smooth, incredibly soft. “This will act as your bonds.”
He replaced the silk with a handful of lace. “It’s a deep burgundy. Touch
it, pet.” Brie played with the lace in her hands, noting the roughness of it. “This
will be caressing your body in a few minutes.”
Marquis Gray took it from her and left her side again. When he returned,
she heard him chuckling under his breath. Brie held out her hand, but he lifted
her other hand and placed the item in both. She was worried when she felt
something heavy that also smelled of leather. She caressed it with her fingers
and a cold chill gripped her heart. One end was a hard handle, and the other
had numerous leather tendrils. A flogger.
He leaned in close to her ear, his warm breath on her neck. “I am an
expert at what I do. By the time I finish, you will be begging me for more.
3 - The Art of Kinbaku (Brie Embraces Bondage)
“This is a long process, toriko. It is
essential that you and I are in sync.” He motioned for her to kneel. He knelt
behind and wrapped his arms around her, pressing Brie against his chest. “Find
my breath and copy it. Breathe with me, toriko.”
She was startled
by his request, but calmed herself enough to listen to his breathing. She began
matching her own with his. Tono’s breaths were consistent and measured. She had
to slow way down to harmonize. Soon she felt her entire body relax as she became
one with him. “Good…” he murmured softly. “If you feel anxious at any point, I
want you to match your breath with mine.”
Brie nodded. He
picked up a long jute rope and showed it to her. “Today, this simple material
will transport you to nirvana.” She touched it and was surprised that it felt
both soft and rough. “Smell it, toriko.” She took in its earthy smell and
smiled.
“We are all in
harmony. You, me…the rope.” He released her from his embrace and asked her to
lift her hands in the air. He opened the kimono slightly, exposing her
cleavage. Then, with an artist’s precision, he began to slowly wrap her chest
in a bra-like fashion. The rope crisscrossed above and below her breasts,
making them stand out alluringly. Brie noticed that the rope’s tight hold
restricted her breathing, and it frightened her.
“Breathe with
me, toriko,” he reminded her. She calmed her quick, shallow breaths to match
his breathing again. Instantly, she felt calmer.
