Determined to Obey - 11-11-14

Hello, Smutketeers!

Determined to Obey comes out tomorrow and I'll be honest, I'm sort of crapping my pants. I really hope you're all ready for some seriously hot, man-on-man-on-woman action! PLEASE don't forget to leave a review. I depend on them more than you know!


The Release Party kicks off tomorrow at 10am EST and runs through 10pm EST. There will be special guests every hour, all day long. Join us to take advantage of giveaways, Q & A with your favorite authors, meet some NEW authors, and of course read or post reviews of Determined to Obey.

I also used my zero skills to make a little video teaser. Hope you like it and share!



P.S. I could use a little TLC in the review department for my box set Dark Duet | Platinum Edition. As most of you have already read The Dark Duet, you're fully qualified to leave a review for the box set and it would really help me out since very few people seem to know it exists. LOL

After seeing a kink-friendly therapist for months, the doctor makes her an illicit offer she isn’t yet smart enough to refuse: “Let me find you a good master.”



Brian Sloan 
Is a borderline sociopath with a dark and brutal past. Only taking his sadistic urges out on the women at a submissive training house allows him to sleep through the night. When Brian sees Mina, she should be ripe for the picking, but her damage is too similar to his own. Can he fight past his demons to protect the one person he considers worth saving?

INTRODUCING: Flash Fiction Fridays!

Greetings, Smutketeers!
I made you  a promise several months ago to finish a little alternate universe story featuring Caleb and Livvie in a 'body swap' situation. I never finished it because I was working on the rewrite of DETERMINED TO OBEY so it didn't make it into the bonus material for DARK DUET | PLATINUM EDITION.

Instead, I've decided to write it a little at a time, for free, every Friday. Here's how it works:

1. I post what I've written.
2. You leave a comment requesting what you'd like to happen next.
3. If your comment has the most supporters, I will take your suggestion and write a minimum of 500 words to post on the following #FFF
4. Repeat until the story is finished.

Since I've already started the story. Go, read, and let's get those suggestions going for this Friday. <3

Whispers in the Dark
by CJ Roberts

A/N: This is strictly AU and not 'part of the series', but enjoy it nonetheless. Also, this is unedited, so please forgive my errors. ;)

Caleb smiled as consciousness crept over him slowly. Livvie was pressed against his back, naked and warm, her deep breaths in his ear. She’d never spooned him before. The feeling was alien, but kind of nice. He shifted a bit and was surprised to find Livvie’s body covered him from head to toe. There was something odd about that, he thought. Wait. There was something really odd about that.

No more creeping; consciousness slammed into him and his adrenaline spiked. He sat up in bed and threw the covers off of them. Tits! He had fucking tits! He looked beside him and screamed a girly scream as he encountered his own body lying in the bed next to him.
His body opened its eyes in panic and sat up, staring at him in horror as they both screamed into one another’s faces. Caleb continued to scream as he watched his body faint and collapse onto the mattress.

Caleb scrambled out of bed on shorter legs than he was accustomed and raced into the bathroom to look at his reflection in the mirror. Livvie’s terrified eyes stared back at him in the mirror. “What the fuck?” Caleb whispered in Livvie’s voice. With trembling hands, he touched his breasts and encountered his pebbled nipples. He gasped. “No, no, no, no, no.” Continuing his exploration, he brushed his polished fingernails down his soft brown stomach and reached into his lace panties. His palm curled over his pussy. He stared at himself in the mirror, still unable to process what was happening and yet aware that it most certainly was happening – he’d switched bodies with Livvie.

Licking familiar lips in an unfamiliar way, he steeled himself for what he had to do next. His head poked out of the bathroom slowly and he let himself look at his body, the body he wasn’t fucking inhabiting, on the bed. Livvie was in there, probably just as terrified as he was. Regardless of his new tits and pussy, he was still a man, and his job was still to protect Livvie no matter what.
He…she…whatever, took hesitant steps toward the bed and gently sat next to…Livvie. “Livvie,” he whispered and carefully nudged her/his shoulder. “Please, Livvie, wake up. This shit is too weird to go through alone.” Livvie groaned deep in her throat and it came out sounding gruff, threatening, and distinctly male. It freaked Caleb the hell out, but he ignored his fear in a way he’d perfected over the course of his life.

Livvie’s eyelids began to flutter. She could hear a feminine voice coaxing her toward waking. Claudia? I don’t remember her staying the night. Livvie stretched and her limbs felt as though they went on forever. “Mmm,” she moaned. She felt…a little aroused…but in a way she’d never felt before; it throbbed instead of tingled and the location was a little different; lower belly instead of between her legs.



“Please don’t freak out again, Livvie. I need your help to figure this out.”

“Mmhmm,” Livvie sighed. She was really trying to get up but couldn’t quite manage it.

“Livvie! You’re in my fucking body. Wake up!” A panicked voice said and broke through Livvie’s fog. Her thoughts organized themselves in rapid fire. She’d woken up and come face to face with herself, but not herself, someone else in her body. She’d fainted.

Livvie shot up in bed, panting, and came face to face with herself again. Full of instincts she didn’t know she possessed, she tackled her doppelganger and pinned her—it—to the bed. “Who the fuck are you and why do you look like me?” Livvie paused at the sound of her voice and took notice of her long, pale, and muscled arms. She gasped and scrambled away from the body beneath her, knocking everything off the nightstand in the process.  She stared at the person struggling to sit up on the bed.

“Livvie,” her doppelganger whimpered. “I know! But please, calm down.” She sat up, sniffled, and wiped tears from her eyes. “Fuck. I never realized how strong I am. Do me a favor and watch your…my…strength. That really hurt.”

“What the hell is going on?” Livvie said. “Why do I sound like a man?” She stretched her arms out in front of her and recognized Caleb’s arms.  She ran her hands over her chest and noticed a distinct lack of breasts and the presence of hard muscle. She locked eyes with her doppelganger and slowly reached farther down for her…Oh my god, I have a dick. Caleb’s dick! “C-Caleb? Baby? Are you in there?”

‘Caleb’ nodded. “Yeah, I’m in here. Please come here and let me hold you.”

Livvie nodded. She could really use a hug right now. Closing the distance between them, she awkwardly arranged her masculine limbs so that Caleb could wrap his feminine arms around her and rock them. “Caleb, how did this happen? How do we make it stop?”

“I don’t know, Kitten. We’ll figure it out though, I promise. We just have to think logically about this, retrace out steps. For all we know, all we have to do is go back to sleep and wake up in our own bodies.” He kissed Livvie’s stubbled cheek. This is too weird.

“Caleb, for all we know this is permanent! Oh, God! What if it’s permanent?” She began to hyperventilate.

Caleb rocked back and forth with more force. “Shhh, Kitten. Don’t panic, you’ll faint again, and you’re way too heavy for me to lift in this condition.” He forced a laugh. “Why didn’t you ever tell me I’m so heavy?” Livvie started crying. “Shit. Come on, Kitten. You’re going to ruin my reputation if you keep crying like that,” he said, only half joking.
“You were crying!” She accused in Caleb’s voice but with her own whiny intonation.

“I was not! That was like, one tear, and I’m sure it was on account of your girl hormones reacting to being hit by a fucking wall of solid muscle. Seriously, your body—my body—is a trained killing machine. You have to specifically try not to hurt me until we get this figured out.”

“Stop trying to make me laugh. This is serious, Caleb.” Livvie drew her limbs in as tightly as possible to surround herself in Caleb’s comforting embrace, but her new body wouldn’t allow for much.

“I know it’s serious, Livvie. I also know that sitting around crying and wondering what the hell is going on has never helped anyone. We’ve been through more serious tragedies. We’ll get through this too.” Caleb stroked Livvie’s hair in the way he enjoyed. He didn’t enjoy having a man in his lap, even if the body belonged to him; it was too reminiscent of a past long buried and dead. He held onto his wits for Livvie’s sake.

Silence stretched out between them for several minutes. “I’m sorry, “ Livvie whispered calmly.

“I understand,” he replied honestly.

“Do you really think it could be as simple as going back to sleep and waking up?” Livvie wasn’t confident in the solution, but then again, waking up in your boyfriend’s body wasn’t exactly a thing you could Google.

Caleb’s heart began a wild beat. The most logical solution would be to do everything exactly as they had done the day before in the hopes of replicating and therefore reversing whatever had happened. His problem stemmed from the knowledge that he’d have to let Livvie fuck him, a thought that twisted his insides if he contemplated it too long. He cleared his throat. “We can try it. If it doesn’t work…” He licked his soft, girl lips nervously. “We’ll try something else.”

“What do we do in the meantime? I obviously can’t go to work like this and I definitely don’t want you wandering around in my body.”

His interest was piqued. “What are you afraid I’ll discover? I have half a mind to visit with all your male co-workers you seem too fond of.”


Livvie sat up and glared at Caleb. “You wouldn’t dare!” Caleb smirked and raised a brow. It was disconcerting to see her own face mimicking an expression she’d seen thousands of times on Caleb’s. Like staring into a mirror while it does something you’re not.

"I would dare a lot of things, Livvie." He smiled.

Livvie grinned like the Cheshire cat. "Oh, but baby...you're forgetting about all the new things I can do in this body." She reached up and placed a firm grip on Caleb's shoulder. She shivered when she detected fear in Caleb's eyes. She felt powerful in a way she never had before, like she'd woken up with superpowers. Heat pooled in her stomach and a heavy weight began to take shape. She glanced down her body and gasped through a wide smile. Her first hard-on was glorious! Her eyes cut back to Caleb.

His eyes were wide. "You—” he cleared his throat and swallowed, “You wouldn’t fucking dare.”

“Oh, Caleb. I would dare a lot of things.”

It's Hard Out Here for a (Book) Pimp

Greetings, Smutketeers!
If you're reading this - THANK YOU. I recently went through the very humbling experience of spending more on the production of a book than I earned opening week.

In retrospect, I can't blame anyone but myself. I know how many of you already own the DARK DUET in both ebook & paperback (you're awesome). Naturally, the box set (even with the added 300pgs of bonus material) could never match the sales of the past three years since book one, CAPTIVE IN THE DARK was released. That'll teach me to abandon my cynicism, LOL. However, it's an amazing deal for NEW readers so I hope you'll continue to help me spread the word.

I'm hopeful that the release of DETERMINED TO OBEY on November 11th will go much better since the story is new and sold independently.

It's probably unusual for an author to admit a reboot didn't go well, but in the spirit of this wonderful indie movement, I want to help my fellow authors' learn from my mistakes.

1. I should have put a box set together as soon as I published the final book in the series. With all the frenzy of a new release, new readers would have been drawn to the box set as a way to catch up and also save money.

2. Don't spend money you're not willing to lose. Publishing a book is always a risk and a gamble. However, this is not an excuse for publishing poorly edited work. Editing is non-negotiable, but things like formatting, marketing, and other things you can teach yourself to do are.

3. If you have to write to eat, make sure you're writing something that's going to feed you. I've never written an MMF under my CJ Roberts name. Only November 11th will tell if my readers are ready and willing to follow me into the world of bisexual sex. I'll keep you posted.

4. Beware of optimism. Make the best decisions you can, based on the FACTS you have available.

Speaking of #4

I regret to inform everyone I will be cancelling all but three of my SCHEDULED EVENTS for 2015. The FACTS are - I need to write a new full-length novel and make it back onto the bestseller lists before I can afford to attend book signings again. My deepest apologies to everyone who hoped to meet me at The British Book Affair in London next year. I'm super bummed! Fingers crossed for 2016 (pesky optimism).

HOWEVER, anyone who would like to ORDER AUTOGRAPHED BOOKS in time for the holidays may do so 1 Nov - 15 Nov. Orders placed after these dates may not arrive in time but you CAN still order.

Thanks for reading,

CJ
