In the story,\u00a0Liliya is surprised when the man she has been watching from afar decides to change the rules of their game.

All the blinds\u00a0were up, it was fully lit, and I could see everything in living color. I told my husband it was a good thing no one was having sex on their desk, and then I realized if I could see in their windows, they could see in ours. Since I wasn\u2019t too keen on becoming an exhibitionist, I pulled our blinds\u00a0right quick.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Not being a tattoo person, I had to learn some of the basics to even describe the ones in the story. When I went searching for the kind of tattoo I needed for Liliya, I didn\u2019t know what to call it, and when I found it, I described it in excruciating\u2014and very confusing\u2014detail in the first draft of the story. My lifesaver of a critique partner said, \u201cWhy don\u2019t you just say \u2018mandala\u2019 instead of all this detail?\u201d Boy, did I do a facepalm.<\/p>\n To celebrate the publication of kINKED, she sent me a mandala temporary tattoo.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Repurposing TGAS<\/em> started out as the opening scene of a novel that had been giving me such fits, I\u2019d given up on it. But I loved the set-up, so I salvaged it. (Authors make good recyclers because very little goes in the trash. I have more documents called \u201cRemoved Parts\u201d than complete stories.) Once Cori accepted the story for kINKED<\/em> it meant I could no longer use the characters or the opening, so, naturally, my subversive writer\u2019s-brain resolved all the plot difficulties I was having with the novel. Someday I\u2019ll write a new opening for that book, and when I do, I\u2019ll probably discover a bunch of brand new plot holes. *sigh*<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”HR 30%” _builder_version=”3.0.73″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” saved_tabs=”all” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” global_module=”3593″]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.9″]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Visit her at ReneeDominick.com<\/a> and find her on Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.9″]<\/p>\n Every tattoo tells a story\u2026<\/p>\n A submissive pain slut receives a tattoo as a reward for years of selfless service.

Renee Dominick lives and works in the Seattle suburbs, a place perfectly suited to her love of all things nature, and for writing atmospheric and steamy erotic romance like her debut novella duology titles, HOLD ME HARDER and DON\u2019T HOLD BACK. When she\u2019s not melded to her laptop, she\u2019s probably reading, watching off-beat movies, or poking around in her garden (assisted by her two terriers), after which her husband can be counted on for a glass of chardonnay and a back rub.<\/p>\n
