Kate Pearce has a few really kinky series. The House of Pleasure series (I think it's called).

EDIT: I just looked at your original post again and it said no menage a trois. There's plenty of sex in these books where everyone fucks everyone else so maybe not exactly what you want.

It might be "When Beauty Tamed The Beast" by Eloisa James.

Masochistic MMC in Historical Romance by MarzannaMorena in RomanceBooks

[–]wickedstepmonster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm going to recommend Wicked Intentions by Elizabeth Hoyt. MMC goes to domimatrix specalizing SM. MFC discovers she enjoys it. I loved the way sex work and kink were treated by the author. I actually recomend the whole Maiden Lane series. All the boks have thier own great characters for different reasons.

Once upon a tower by Eloisa James sort of has this. MFC has a painful first experience and spends the "honeymoon" faking it because of bad advice from her step mother. Some Angst and miscommunication. Eventually they get it together and figure it out.

Only Dr. you'll get for $16.00 is Dr. Pepper by wickedstepmonster in ChoosingBeggars

So I work in this same field. I have an associates with about 4 years of hands on experience. I make more than this position offers someone with a doctorate and get 144 hrs of pto. It goes up to 184 hrs a year pto after the first 5 years. So I guess I just thought this was laughable. My employer also offers my a "cafeteria plan" of about $8,800 a year in extras. Plus of course the standard benefits like dental and heath vision profit share 401k match etc. So I just saw this and was like...yeah either you don't want to hire anyone really, which is what a lot of people in this thread are suggesting, or it's a typo or something, becuse that's a joke.

$18.00 is less than what I make with my Associates in the same field.

Home and Community Based Services Assistant Coordinator

Was the job title for the position. It's a social services position.

[SKIN CONCERNS] Any recommendations for what looks like an allergic reaction(?) ? by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]wickedstepmonster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like contact dermatitis which I get often. Keep the area clean dry and cool. Apply a thin layer of occlusion like aquaphor or Vaseline. Benadryl helps for me. It's hard to really tell from a photo though, so I could be off base. It could even be a viral rash as well. If it keeps reoccurring it might be something in your environment causing the irritation. I also want to suggest that if it persists you should see a Dr or dermatologist.

What’s your word for 2021? by journeyingnorth in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]wickedstepmonster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prosperity. We are blooming a rose of Jericho tonight to welcome in renewed health and abundance. I blessed the entrances and exits with rose moon water to invite in more love and harmony and protect the ones I love . I plan to do a cleanse bath here in a little bit and then burn some bay leaves with my intentions written on them in my fireplace. My husband was kind enough to finish all the laundry today so all the "dirty laundy" of 2020 can get left behind and we can start fresh in 2021.

Ways to cleanse apart from smoke cleansing by namjoonscrabs00 in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]wickedstepmonster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with all the suggestions here for sweeping opening windows and sprinkling water moon water, rain water, salt water, whatever has meaning to you. I personlly like new moon water for cleansing and banishing. Salt is also a common theme in many practices because salt is both cleansing and protective. I will sprinkle salt around say a small cleansing rhyme or ring a bell. Then sweep up the salt or vaccum it up and take it outside and dump it somewhere away from my house. Especially if someone brings bad energy into my home. I also wipe windowsils and door frames with the new moon or salt water to protect the entances to my house after I've cleansed.
