I made it through the crazy challenge in June to write an original erotic short story for each letter of the alphabet where each story had to have one word that started with the letter of the day in each sentence, This was surprisingly harder than one would think on first blush. I can’t forget to thank my editors for the month who were often helping proofread for grammar errors late in an evening before I posted before midnight. A huge thank you to Christine Hart, Bruce Stern, Jennifer Bene, Sophie Kisker and Myra Danvers. You guys ROCK!
Below, I’m recapping the stories from the month and want your vote on which story you would like to see another chapter written for. Who do you most want to check in on and see what happened next?
A= Angry at the Airport – 1126 Words
Ange gets in trouble at the airport and her husband Andrew straightens her out with a spanking and heated plugging while they wait to board. She had one uncomfortable trip to her Aunt Allison’s.
B=The Bratty Bride – 1520 Words
Bridget had turned into a bit of a bridezilla and Brad made sure she knew he wasn’t going to put up with bratty behavior now that they were married. That was some wedding night!
C=Chastised by her Cowboy – 722 Words
Calvin didn’t appreciate Catherine’s perceived rudeness to his sister after church. She spends some time naked in the corner before being cropped, but in the end, I think Calvin only encouraged her to be naughty again.
D=Derek the Daddy Dom – 1381 Words
We got a peek in on Derek and Rachel from The Passion Series. I was happy to see Rachel’s pregnancy was coming along and the danger was over. Derek is one hot daddy, that’s for sure and I loved seeing this age play scene from Rachel’s POV.
E=Erotic Examination – 1047 Words
Elle and Eric are captured and whisked off for an intimate examination by aliens, awaking in their own bed in the morning. Did it really happen?
F=Farm Fresh – 1102 Words
Felicity gets into some trouble with her spending habits and her fiancé, Frank, makes sure to lay down the law on how he will be handling these things in their marriage. A trip to the local farmer’s market produced a nice, big clump of ginger for one hot figging session.
G=The Guilty Governess – 2757 Words
This was one of my personal favorites. Gabriella lost track of her young charges and the governor’s son George had gotten into danger up a tree just in time for the Governor, Gregory, to arrive home. Gabriella and Gregory had been attracted to each other for some time, and the intimate events of this day help them cross the invisible line they’d both been trying not to step over.
H=Heather’s Humiliation – 1711 Words
Ah, Henry and Heather. Heather’s father had promised her to the neighboring King without her consent. She ran away, but her future husband was happy to hunt her down and blister her bottom before taking her home. Another fun historical.
I=Intimate Interrogation – 2256 Words
This was a short suspense. Isabelle had been Ian’s submissive until she suspected him of illegal activities and left him to move to Europe. The intrigue follows them and she is kidnapped and tortured as a way to get to Ian. Luckily, he comes to the rescue just in time to let her know he is actually undercover.
J=Jaded Justice – 1901 Words
A nice little story of revenge. James had raped Julie the year before, triggering her to lose her job, fiancé, house and self-respect. When the courts let her down, she decides to take matters into her own hands. She is hopefully living a happy life in Jamaica right now.
K=The Kinky Knight – 2025 Words
Kaitlin’s father knew his lovely daughter needed a strong man in her life to take her in hand and he knew just the right man for the job. Kieran may not have planned on applying for the job, but he luckily rose to the occasion when Kaitlin was in need. Wonder if she’s able to sit down yet?
L=Lukus’s Lecture – 3310 Words
This clocked in as the longest story, but that was intentional as I wanted to give Passion fans a taste of their beloved Lukus and Tiffany. We got a front row seat to Tiffany’s first center stage punishment. Lucky for her, the club was closed.
M=Married to a Masochist – 2570 Words
Like the L story, M gave us a glimpse into what Markus and Brianna have been up to since the end of Having it All. We know they have been in trouble when they didn’t communicate clearly and this scene shows how far they’ve come by showing them communicating about their wants and desires.
N=Nervous Habits – A Guest Blog by Cara Bristol
My original story idea for this day was Naughty Nurses, but I was THRILLED to have Cara take N in the middle to give me a much needed day off. I guess if you’d like to have me write Naughty Nurses, you can vote for that and if you still haven’t picked up Cara’s latest Rod and Cane book, DO IT NOW.
O=Oral Exams – 1846 Words
Olivia runs afoul of the unscrupulous Professor O’Keefe who not only delivers canings for extra credit, but raises grades for students willing to take oral exams in his office on their knees. I’m pretty sure this was the least liked story of the month with several people weighing in on how slimy the professor was. I completely agree he was scummy, but he must have been living up there in my brain somewhere for my muse to channel him.
P=The Pirate’s Prized Possession – 2332 Words
Ah, what a fun story to write. Who doesn’t love a gentleman pirate willing to capture the beautiful, and conveniently naughty, daughter of his enemy. Penelope and Patrick have a happily ever after in there somewhere.
Q= ?
Sadly, my real life collided with this letter and its pitiful list of Q words and I confess, I skipped it when the planned story called The Quaker’s Quandry just wasn’t materializing in my head. I did have a fabulous story idea about a Queen, but it was so awesome, I wrote a full outline and it will be a future novel with a M/M/f theme. Doesn’t that sound intriguing?
R=Rock ‘n Roll Reunion – 1544 Words
Rachel regretted how her life had turned out. She had allowed her father to steer her away from the one man she ever truly loved, Rocky. Luckily, Rocky, now a rock ‘n roll star, decides to go to their ten year reunion and reclaim the love of his life.
S=Sex Slaves of Sabrenth – 3083 Words
This was one naughty little sci-fi with tons of non-con action going on. The Sebastian brothers, intergalactic search and rescue bounty hunters, were yummy and Sabrina was one lucky girl that she had Storm on her side. As naughty as this one was, my muse has a lot more to say about this story. I’m planning on turning this one into a full story down the road, and now, it won’t have S’s in every sentence! LOL
T=Tangled Triangle – 2255 Words
Ah, my first ménage. Trina loved two men. She had married Trent when Toby moved away, deserting her. When Toby returns to town, the threesome get tangled in a naughty new arrangement. Their small town of Turner, Texas is going to be scandalized!
U=The Perils of an Unconventional Wife – 1812 Words
A small glimpse into the life of a newly married couple of the 1950’s. Ursula was a bit progressive for her times and Robert decided it was time to lay down the law for his little woman. It’s a good thing she liked it.
V=The Victorian Virgin – 2455 Words
I had fun with this one! I loved putting myself in Valerie’s position, nervous and unsure on her wedding night to a powerful man she barely knew. The original plan had William being much more stern, but in the end, I think they are going to live HEA, don’t you?
W=Throwing Whitney to the Wolves – 2196 Words
I was starting to get tired by this story. I had been looking so forward to writing a paranormal short with werewolves for W, but found it is extremely hard to setup another world in so few words. I came up with the idea of Wyatt and Wade coming to the rescue of Whitney and then had fun writing the villainous truck driver.
X=Xmas X-rays – a measly 44 Words
I had planned on skipping X, but the idea for this one came from talking with my twenty-one year old son who came up with a few sentences using X words over dinner. I obviously modified it to suit my needs. X was hard!
Y=Yielding on the Yacht – 1753 Words
Good old Yosef was willing to jump in to help his friend Yuri by hiding the bratty actress, Yasmina, on his yacht. This was a match made in heaven if I ever saw one. I have a feeling they will both be getting off their month-long cruise changed people!
Z=The Lucky Zipper – 1078 Words
The letter Z was much harder than I’d expected. Pull out the dictionary and you’ll find some really poopy choices of Z words to choose from. Thank goodness Chris Hart had some Z words in her back pocket! Still, we get a glimpse of zillionaire Zachary being smitten by Zoie, the bartender who tried to help him fix his broken zipper. The tabloids talk about Zach being a spankofile which suits Zoie just fine.
*****
So there you have it. I wrote/posted 43,826 words or the equivalent of a long novella in the month of June. I had only four stories written in advance and eventually lost my buffer and was writing full stories in one day. (yes, the quality does show it some days 🙂 ) Before I started, I had made a list of sub-genres I wanted to dabble in and I hit almost all of them and had so much fun doing it. Sure, some of the stories were a bit silly due to the alphabet challenge, but I hope you enjoyed them just the same.
Now is when you get to tell me what your favorites were and which one story you would like to see me write the next chapter for. Whatever story wins the most votes, I will write another chapter for in July as a thank-you for following along! Leave comments below or send me PM’s.

I was just amazed at all the wonderful stories and very impressed. As far as I am concerned, you are a rock star and your talents were shining through this A to Z challenge. You keep up the great job of writing and I will keep on reading and reviewing. It was nice seeing Markus and Lukus make their appearances too!
Thank you so much for your support not just during the hop, but with my releases, Kathy. I’m so happy to have you as a fan! I’m back to work on my books. 🙂
I love too many but here are my letters. W for sure tops the list then G,P,K,C,Y. I loved ur stories thanks for writing. I would have chosen L or M or D but I know I’ll see them again
I love that you loved so many of the stories, Eva. I think you are the only vote for W so far, but G is looking to be a front runner!
Hey g is my 2nd woohoo if it wins all the same
They were all great but if I had to pick it would be the guilty governess. I might have picked Marcus and Brianna or Tiffany and Lucus but they will be next in the Passion series which I am so looking forward too.
Thanks Laurel! You will definitely be getting more of L/T, M/B and D/R! I’m so happy to see the Guilty Governess out in front so far as I loved that one too. 🙂
Bratty bride if I have to pick one, though have to say lukus is my all time favorite, but since he is in the passion series I will be thrilled to see him there.
Thanks for reading all month and for taking the time to vote, Sandy. I’m gonna wait a bit longer to tally the votes, but I’ll put your vote in for Bratty Bride!
G- Guilty Governess is the one I would love to see continued, but loved all of them
Thanks so much LouAnn! That was my favorite too!
Just about any of them would make a great book. Top faves are w,y,b,f,g,h,k,p,r, oh well it might be easier to say which were my least favorite ones that would be j,o those were the only ones i didn’t care for. The rest were fabulous.
Thanks so much, Kitty! So glad you enjoyed them. I knew O and J were different than the rest, but I wanted to mix it up a bit. I’ll be writing more of G which was the clear winner of the vote. Gregory and Gabriella have more story to tell.
Hi, loved reading your point of view on so many common themes. I liked most all of them makes it hard to pick. But I think I vote for G, P, S, or Y. With P or Y as first, G next and S last. Thankyou for writting this:) the big question is… How many full book ideas did you come up with during this month long brain storming session?!
Thanks for voting, Janna! I’m so glad you enjoyed so many of the stories. I think G was the overall winner, but that’s not to say I may not do a stray update on my website with other blog updates in the future. You are right, I have three full novels plotted out now and several other ideas that I just need time to flesh out. Definitely a great benefit. Thanks for dropping by!
