After leaving
Earth on what she thought would be an adventure, Caria Montgomery quickly ends
up in way over her head. Captured by hostile aliens, she faces the prospect of
perishing on an isolated planet until she is rescued by Commander Phahlen
Verdar and his crew.
Phahlen is
delighted to have a human female aboard his ship. In the years since the women
of his own world were nearly wiped out by a terrible plague, taking a mate has
become all but impossible for most males of his species, and he doesn’t plan to
let this opportunity pass him by. His plan to claim Caria is aided by the fact
that, due to the unsavoury nature of the crew of the ship on which she was
travelling, she is now a wanted fugitive back on Earth.
Though Caria is
initially defiant, a sound spanking on her bare bottom demonstrates her
admittedly handsome future mate’s resolve. His bold dominance awakens an
intense need within her, and before long she finds herself yearning for the
pleasure of his masterful lovemaking. But is she truly prepared to surrender
herself fully to her alien commander, or will she seek to return to Earth and
clear her name as soon as possible?

this book.
“From your tone I take it you’re
not yet ready to accept the reality of your situation.”
“Like I said, kiss my—”
He’d heard enough. Phahlen believed in action rather than words in any
event and this discussion was at an end. He lifted Caria bodily from her perch
on the sofa and slung her over his shoulder. He ambled across the room to the
food station, but this time his instructions into the audio system had nothing
whatsoever to do with nutrition.
“Rope, please. Carbon compound, one metre in length.” The required item
materialised in the next moment and he took it from the delivery hatch. He
ignored her furious squirming, screeching, and beating on his back with her
fists as he returned to the sofa. He sat down and calmly upended her across his
lap.
Caria fought like a tiger. She struggled, screamed, flailed her arms,
and kicked her legs at him, but none of it made the slightest impression. He
was four times her size, and she was getting a spanking. He caught her legs
under one of his to hold her still, and grabbed first one wrist, then the
other. He secured both behind her back and held them there with one hand while
he wrapped the rope around them. When he had her bound tight he produced a
small laser scalpel from his pocket.
“I always spank on the bare, Caria. Without fail. On future occasions
you will remove your clothing for me in order to facilitate that, but this
time…” He regarded the all-in-one suit with regret. She really had looked very
fetching in it, but the garment was to be a casualty of this moment. He would
replace it for her. Eventually.
He plucked the fabric at the waist away from her body and sliced it
cleanly with his blade. Caria let out a shriek that he was certain would have
brought half the galaxy running if they had heard it. Phahlen blessed the
soundproofing qualities of the Empyrean’s construction as he cut the lower half of her suit from the
upper portion, separating the two parts. He opted to just rip the fabric from
her upturned bottom rather than risk setting her on her feet again to slice the
front of the garment and risking her getting injured if she were to fight him.
In any case, he had achieved his objective. Caria’s beautiful heart-shaped
bottom was bared for her punishment. He tugged the material lower to reveal a
good length of her thighs too. He intended to give her sit spots some serious
attention.
“Let me go! Get off me, you bastard.” Caria’s screams were subsiding,
and he supposed that was because she now appreciated his superior strength and
knew she would not best him by force. Still, her determination to defy his
wishes was seemingly undiminished. And her propensity for name-calling was
starting to grate.
“The sooner you surrender to this, to the inevitable, the better. You’ll
be getting a spanking, a good, hard one. It will continue until you stop this
struggling, and you’re ready to apologise—and mean it.”
“I’m not—Aaagh!”
The first slap landed full in the middle of her delightful cheeks.
Phahlen’s hand print bloomed immediately, the vivid red outline stark against
the creamy skin of her bottom.
“Stop, that hurts. You bast—”
Phahlen ignored her continuing flow of screams and invective, landing
spank after spank across his defiant little human’s curvy behind. For such a
tiny little thing she could certainly belt out some decibels. He wondered
whether he should have gagged her after all, though that might have defeated
his objective since it was contrition and an apology he required from her.
Maybe next time…
She was determined; he had to allow her that. Phahlen admired the little
female’s fortitude as he rained the slaps over her skin, and watched the area
turn pink under his ministrations. Pink darkened to crimson, and still she
continued to curse and wriggle.
Her struggles were futile, of course. Phahlen had her secure and she was
going nowhere until he’d finished and had his way. He was in no hurry, and knew
which of them would tire of this first.
Her squeals and sobs did start to subside at last, and he paused to rest
his hand on her scorching buttock. “Are you ready to talk to me now?”
“I hate you.”
He hoped that wasn’t true, but he understood why she would think it
right now.
“Noted. And your apology?”
“Fuck you.”
“Also noted.” He resumed the spanking, this time shifting his attention
to her thighs. Caria’s shrieks found an additional octave or two as he applied
his relentless palm to her tender sit spots. He had a feeling this would not
take much longer now.
A LITTLE MORE INFORMATION:
1.
Who or what was the inspiration for Caria? Is she anything like you?
Well
I’ve never joined a crew of space pirates and raided inter-stellar craft, but I
might if the opportunity arose. I suppose Caria is something of an adventurer,
and I’m a bit like that too. She tends to jump in with both feet, then worry
about the consequences later. In Her
Alien Commander she is often impetuous, but she has a streak of
bloody-minded determination too, which I admire. The odds might be stacked
against her, but she doesn’t give up.
2.
So, tell us a bit more about Phahlen. He’s stern and sexy, with a twitchy
palm, but what else is there to know?
Well,
I think you just about covered the basics there. Phahlen has a strong sense of
duty, and of justice, though Caria may not think so, at least not at first. He
knows what he wants from her, but he takes care of her too. He saves her life
at the start of the book, and it’s Phahlen who finds a solution to the problem
of her criminal past. He’s always there when she needs him, though it takes her
a while to appreciate his finer qualities.
3.
How many books have you written? Are they all spanking fiction?
I
think I have about forty titles out now, and they are all erotic stories. Some
are more BDSM themed and some are spanking/domestic discipline. At first I
wrote just contemporary stories, then I started adding a few historicals as
well. Her Alien Commander is my first
sci-fi and I loved writing it.
4. Why do you enjoy writing sci-fi?
Because
I love the idea of playing God. I can create just the world(s) I want, set up
whatever social system suits my story, and craft the most amazing characters.
The usual laws of physics, time, and cultural behavior don’t count so the
story-telling can be much more creative and inventive in an alternative
universe. Stories which might be really controversial if written as a
contemporary romance can be ‘cloaked’ in a sci-fi.
