I have to thank her for bringing along not only a wonderfully hot excerpt, but one that is educational too. I often like to use the definition of a particularly interesting word from the blurb or excerpt in my post. (Why? 'Cause its fun. I know I'm weird that way). The fun word of the day is wantonness. A yummy word, which brings up lewd images of lascivious, unrestrained sexual behavior, right?
Imagine my surprise when I saw incontinence listed as a synonym.
http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/wantonness?s=t
Now, the nurse in me knows only one meaning for that word, so away I went to investigate.
Incontinence is a noun that means lack of control. It could mean of speech, or of temper, but in this case, it refers to sexual appetite. This is so much more fun than what I was thinking.
Synonyms include: debauchery, lewdness, unrestraint, and yes, wait for it... wantonness.
So it seems I came full circle, and realized you do learn something new every day. LOL
In this wonderful new erotic romance by Kallista Dane, Lady Arabella learns about wantonness through shameful climaxes, quivering desire, and a freshly spanked burning bottom.
Lucky girl!

The Duke's Prisoner
By Kallista Dane
**BLURB**
Lady Arabella
was only hoping for a little adventure when she persuaded her maid to take her
place at a dinner party so she could explore Venice's famous Carnevale in
defiance of her father's wishes, but then she came home to find her father
murdered and her dream turned into a nightmare. To make matters worse, Arabella
herself is accused of the crime and after a poor excuse for a trial she is
condemned to the notorious prison of the Duke of Venice.
Just as despair threatens to overtake her, salvation appears in the form of Nicolo Sorenzo, the handsome young nobleman who spanked her soundly and then brought her to a shameful climax the previous night at the Carnevale. With the aid of a powerful government official, Nicolo has arranged for Arabella's release from prison, but the official's help comes at a high price.
In return for her freedom, Arabella will be required to pose for a series of scandalous paintings by Nicolo's mentor, a renowned artist. Each day, she will be stripped bare so that her helpless, virgin body may be teased unmercifully until she is left quivering with desire. Her wantonness will then be punished sternly, leaving Arabella with her cheeks blushing, her bottom burning, and her womanhood aching to be filled as her ordeal is captured on the artist's canvas.
Before long, however, Nicolo has fallen in love with Arabella, and his need for her becomes irresistible. Can he unravel the mystery of her father's death and clear her name, or will his decision to claim her as his own cost them both their freedom or even their lives?

Arabella had
never been kissed. Eyes still closed, she sighed and melted into his arms.
Antonio deepened the kiss, his mouth covering hers completely. She wrapped her
arms around his neck. He took two steps forward, trapping her against the wall
of the building behind them. She could feel the heat from the hard bulge at his
groin. He rearranged the voluminous cape he’d wrapped around her body to cover
them both, then he opened his mouth and ran his tongue over her lips.
The sound of
the orchestra in the piazza dimmed, the laughter and shouts of revelers
disappeared. After all the unfamiliar yet highly erotic stimulations her body
had been subjected to in the past few hours, every thought flew from her head.
Her lips parted automatically, allowing him to slide his tongue in. When he
did, she moaned again.
He took it as
an invitation to continue. The tip of his tongue explored her mouth delicately,
setting off another round of thrilling new sensations everywhere it touched.
Arabella shuddered as a wave of arousal poured through her. Antonio slid both
hands down to her bottom, lifted her off her feet, and plunged his tongue into
her mouth.
His fingers dug into her stinging backside. Instead of pain, a
shocking bolt of lust shot straight to her belly. He pressed her against the
building and ground his hips into her, all the while capturing her mouth with
his probing tongue. Her body responded with a gush of dampness between her
legs.
Antonio
groaned, as though he’d caught the scent of her arousal. He shifted his grip
and hiked her higher, running one arm under the curve of her bottom so it
rested on his forearm. Then with his other hand, he gathered up her gown in
front until his fingers grazed her bare thigh.
Arabella felt
as though a stranger had taken over her body. Perhaps it was the spirit of the
woman she’d pretended to be—the wild, sensuous Donatella. Whoever it was,
however it had happened, the prim, shy English miss was gone. Though she knew
it was wrong, she welcomed his touch, hungered for more. She knocked his hat
off his head as she fisted her hands in his shoulder-length dark locks,
writhing against him.
His hand slid
between her legs, long fingers working their way up the inside of her thigh.
When they came in contact with her womanhood, the raw, rough noise he made
inflamed her passion even more. His hand worked its way through the soft tangle
of curls. One fingertip slid between the silky folds of her sex. Arabella cried
out, the sound muffled by his mouth capturing hers. He ran his finger into the
tight opening. Farther than she’d ever dared to venture on the few occasions
when she gave in to wickedness, all alone in her bed late at night. As he did,
his tongue delved deeper, claiming her mouth. The inner walls of her slick
channel spasmed and she squirmed in his arms, desperate to take him in a little
more.
Antonio
obliged her. Her passage was slick and his finger slid deeper, stroking its way
along. Another round of spasms welled up inside her, rocking her body. Arabella
thought she’d die from sheer pleasure. His mouth left hers. He started kissing
his way down her neck while pumping his finger in and out. Panting for breath,
she wrapped one leg around his hip and opened herself to him.
The raucous
chatter of a group of masked revelers nearby shocked her back to her senses.
Her eyes popped open and Arabella froze. Dear heaven, what was she doing?
Acting like a fallen woman, a whore, out here where people could pass only a
few feet away from them. A sudden thought struck terror into her heart. What if
Papa walked by?
She began struggling in Antonio’s arms, pushing him away. “You
have to let me go! I can’t—”
“Sssh.” He
bent to kiss her again, sliding his finger deeper inside. “It’s all right. They
can’t see us. Trust me, cara. I want only to bring you pleasure.”
“No! You
can’t! I can’t!” Horrified, she struggled even harder. “I’ve never done
anything like this before!”
