My “thingy” – Eden, I adore you.

Yes, that's what it would do. Apparently
not; apparently it just prevents it establishing itself. Do you
still like the idea?

And you didn't answer about the balls/pain
thing?

To: Adam -

I think we'll begin with your ideas. If it
occurs to you and you feel comfortable sharing them with me then it
means you're comfortable trying it out. Then perhaps I can expand
upon your ideas.

I would like to touch you freely and see how
much pleasure and pain you can tolerate.

I'd like to see it on you, yes. And it is so
tempting to have your manhood under lock with me having the only
key.

Ironic that you came up with the notion of
attacking my balls, and now I have to think of other ways to do it.
Haha.

But yes, I'll think about it.

Yes, that's a great idea.

Tell me why it’s so tempting.

To: Adam -

No, you came up with it! I distinctly
remember you saying something about me squeezing them. And then I
came up with that scenario immediately afterwards.

Because then I know it's mine.
Completely.

From: Adam -

To: Eden E

Yes, yes, you're right.

I can really see us doing that. I think once
it is on, it will be on permanently. I can imagine you tying me up
every time you remove it.

I've never been kicked or kneed in the
balls.

----------

From: Eden E

Date: Mon, Aug 20, at 9:32 AM

To: Adam -

How would it feel, I wonder, underneath your
suit as you're going along doing normal tasks in the outside
world?

You want me to kick you? Don't ask me to do
that! I don’t want to hurt you!

----------

From: Adam -

Date: Mon, Aug 20, at 9:33 AM

To: Eden E

So we are going to do this, but in
person?

I can imagine you tying me up often, taking
it off, playing with me, then putting it back on just as you bring
me to the very edge.

Yes I wondered that too ... I wonder if I'd
get used to it or always be aware of it?

I want to keep showing you and proving
myself to you, always, Eden.

Tell me what you would do, if you found me
in bed wearing those stockings like in the picture, reclining
against some pillows, wearing my slip, perhaps reading a book. Tell
me.

----------

From: Adam -

To: Eden E

I'd get on my knees in front of you and beg
to touch you. I want to devour you. Badly.

----------

From: Eden E

Date: Mon, Aug 20, at 11:10 AM

To: Adam -

You wouldn't mind doing that? It wouldn't be
distasteful to you?

----------

From: Adam -

Date: Mon, Aug 20, at 11:11 AM

To: Eden E

No. Pleasuring you will make me very
happy.

----------

From: Eden E

Date: Mon, Aug 20, at 11:31 AM

To: Adam -

You can't think of anything you'd like to
try that we haven't mentioned yet? Anything you think I may not
like?

----------

From: Adam -

Date: Mon, Aug 20, at 11:33 AM

To: Eden E

Of course there is plenty we can try, it's
just at the moment I am so focused on pleasing you.

I can’t wait to continue our exploration
tonight. I’m so grateful that you showed your secret side with me,
Eden. That you trust me so much.

I want to fulfill every single one of your
desires.

POST TITLE: The Awakening by Marianna
Devuille

DATE OF POST: August 21

Ambitious. Raw. Painfully beautiful.
Stunning. I had very few preconceived notions before my first foray
into erotic fiction other than expecting lots of sex scenes. There
are multitudes of electrifying sex scenes. But The Awakening was a
revelation. A masterpiece of literary writing that happens to be
erotic as well. Devuille’s exploration of one woman’s sexual
journey, from languishing in an unfulfilled marriage to a
passionate but ultimately doomed love affair was riveting, to say
the least. I did not, could not, put this book down.

Every woman will see herself in the main
character – who is a wife, a friend, a daughter, a mother. They
will see themselves in her place and feel as if they were
experiencing what she experiences in the book. Some of it is
disturbing and uncomfortable. Some of it is exquisite. Some of it
is titillating. By the end of her journey, I felt emotionally
spent. The Awakening is well worth reading, even if you think you
don’t like erotic fiction.

COMMENTS:

Cassie {The Library Eclectic}: What
have I started? I guess Beautifully Ravaged was a gateway book. So
glad to see you venturing out of your literary comfort zone, Eden.
Brava! I’ve heard so many good things about this novel and it looks
like they’re all true.

Micha {Page Turner}: You really
should warn me before I wander over here. The shock is too much for
my delicate constitution. *falls in a dead faint* part
deux.

Erin {Bibliology}: Sorry, Micha, I
need the smelling salts for myself. *falls in a dead
faint*

Alice {The Bluestocking}: At first
glance I thought you were reviewing Kate Chopin. At second glance,
may I borrow your copy?

I can imagine you tying me up and taking me
several times right to the edge, then dressing up really sexily and
going out and leaving me still restrained. I'd be frustrated and
hard for hours but unable to satisfy myself. Would that excite you,
Eden?

I might worry about you too much while I'm
away. I'd leave your phone next to you just in case something
unexpected happened, like a rat suddenly appeared and was climbing
the bed toward your cannoli, mouth open.

To: Eden E

Haha, see, even in the midst of planning for
my sexual torture, you can't help but care for my safety. That's
why I trust you.

I can't wait to build our special room. It
will be your kingdom, and I will be your slave in it.

----------

From: Eden E

Date: Wed, Aug 22 at 11:23 AM

To: Adam -

We're building these imaginary rooms
together. An imaginary house, an imaginary life. I'd like that -
that I can have it all with you. Bedroom time and special room time
and it would be a natural, effortless dance between both
spaces.

----------

From: Adam -

Date: Wed, Aug 22 at 11:24 AM

To: Eden E

I don't think we're building imaginary
anythings. We're planning for our reality, our life.

Well put, I see it that way, a natural,
effortless dance. I can see you being merciless in our special
room, then hugging and kissing me and being your warm, nurturing
self as soon as we walk out.

I wish I was at work with you, underneath
your desk. I'd part your thighs and gently tickle you over your
panties.

To: Eden E

I feel like I'm becoming obsessed with
you.

Eden sighed, her whole body flushed with
desire. With every day of long talks and e-mails, she felt herself
becoming more and more immersed in the world she and Adam were
creating. Neither in Sicily nor in California, it existed somewhere
remote, untouched by the outside. It was so exciting and unlike
anything she had ever experienced with any man that it felt unreal,
yet at the same time, the most real relationship she had ever had.
Adam was a mesmerizing voice of seduction, a strong torrent of
words that overwhelmed all reason. He filled her every waking
thought, he invaded her dreams.

Are you withdrawing from us?

----------

From: Eden E

Date: Wed, Aug 22 at 2:14 PM

To: Adam -

No! Not withdrawing. Just, I don't know. I'm
beginning to forget things at work and at home. I forgot that it
was my brother's birthday and only remembered when my mom reminded
me. I'm not blogging as much or reading as much as I did. All I
want is to be with you.

----------

To: Eden E

Now I'm worried. It sounds like I'm getting
in the way of your life.

----------

From: Eden E

Date: Wed, Aug 22 at 2:18 PM

To: Adam -

You're not, Adam. Please don't be worried.
I'm just not used to all this. How strongly I feel about you. It's
like someone who rarely drinks suddenly consumes a whole bottle of
wine.

----------

From: Adam -

Date: Wed, Aug 22, at 2:19 PM

To: Eden E

I'm not used to it either but all I want to
do is dive in deeper with you, every day. I love how it's so
intense and we're so wrapped up in each other.

You're doing something to me. I'm changing
because of you, because of our relationship.

I hope you don't want to turn back because I
feel, at least for me, there is no turning back.

I'm not going away from you, Adam. I thought
we're building our life together. Aren't we?

----------

From: Adam -

Date: Wed, Aug 22 at 2:21 PM

To: Eden E

Yes we are.

I don't want to interfere with your life - I
want to be your life.
