Interview (& giveaway) with Master Marc from Nobody’s Angel by Kallypso Masters

*walks in the front door of the Masters at Arms club* Thinks to self “It is way too quiet in here Of course, it’s still pretty early. Things will probably be hopping in here tonight”

*talking to myself* “Why am I so nervous? I’ve been here before. Heck, it was just a few weeks ago that we had that celebration party. What is my problem?”

*Kelly looks around*

Kelly: “Hello?
“Boys?
“Marc?
“Okay fine…Master Marc?
“Heeelllllllooooo? Anybody here?

Master Marc: “Principessa Masters Brat Kelly, you are in need of some refresher training.”

Kelly: *turns to find him standing behind me in his black leathers and wolf eye mask. But, of course, I know who he is. Does he really think that mask hides anything? Angelina’s right, though. He needs a bell around his neck so he can’t sneak up on a subbie like that.*

*Master Marc steps past me and motions for me to follow him to the loveseat in the corner. Remembering what he did to Angelina on that loveseat, I wonder what he has in mind, but feel compelled to follow anyway*

MM: “Master Damián or I might even make time for you tonight. I’ll check the schedule after the interview. Please, sit. *he waits for me to sit, then nails me with his Dom stare* “Just don’t make the mistake of assuming I would be the gentler of the two, even though I’m not the sadist.

Kelly: *winks at Master Marc* Ummm…well…I think I’m booked solid, but let’s get this interview started. I want people to learn about you and the other bo… *corrects self* …Masters.

MM: In my time, Principessa. Now, tell me, why do you feel the need to demean the status of the Doms at the Masters at Arms by referring to us as boys?

Kelly: *wonders who is in charge of this interview* “Come on, Master Marc. This interview isn’t about me and when I call you boys I mean in it with the utmost respect. Let’s move on do I need to beg?”

MM: “I’ve always enjoyed hearing a sub beg for what she needs, so that might be a good start.” *he waits*

Kelly: *rolling eyes, I adjust the red sash at my waist that seems to be cutting off my breathing all of the sudden. Oh, why did I wear the red one? I forgot about that scene in Angelina’s bedroom…. Don’t go there. I need to see in order to record his responses in my notepad*

MM: “I await the pleasure of your questions, Principessa. What would you like to know about me—or BDSM, Italy, the Colorado mountains…. I always try to be honest with little subs.”

*a shadow passed over his eyes and I decided not to pursue any questions about lying*

Kelly: “So, tell me how do you feel Kally did telling your story?”

MM: “Once she bowed to my will and changed the ending to the story to suit my wishes, she did quite well. Of course, that message you sent her on Sept. 2 asking a very pointed question (that I won’t repeat, to avoid spoilers) gave me the ammo I needed to come to her the next morning letting her know that she had the ending all wrong. So, I suppose you should get points for making me so happy. *he grins* But I do believe we both gave Kally some very stressful moments over the final few weeks before publication. I don’t think she’ll let any of the other Doms get away with that kind of last-minute change. I guess we’ll see.”

Kelly: “No, I supposed not. Is there anything important that she left out?”

MM: “Well, I really did want to get Nurse Angelina into the medical room—I have the nickname “Doc” as you know. But I’m sure Kally will find a way to please me by making it happen in an upcoming story in the Rescue Me series.”

Kelly: “Master Marc, if Angelina wanted to trade places—don’t roll your eyes at me. Let me at least finish the question.”

MM: *growls* “Are you giving me commands, Principessa? Do you feel that is wise, given all the implements at my disposal in this room?”

Kelly: “No, I was just trying to finish my questions. I hate it when people do that to me. Did you just Growl at me?”

MM: “I don’t see anyone else in the room.”

Kelly: “Kally told me you were cuddlier in this group of Doms, but who wants to cuddle with a growling Dom? Geez, *hurry’s to ask the question really fast* I just wanted to know if you trusted Angelina enough to give her control?”

Angelina: “Oh, excuse me! I didn’t know anyone was in here. Did I hear my name? Something about your giving me control, Sir? *she smiles at Master Marc and winks*

MM: Careful, my pet. You are in the club now and I am always in Dom role when we are together in the club or in the bedroom. Kneel. *Master Marc glances at a pillow on the floor near the coffee table*

Angelina: “But…”

MM: *snaps fingers and points to pillow*


*Angelina sighs and kneels at Master Marc’s side, eyes downcast, back tall and straight*

Kelly: Okaaaayyyyy…moving on… As I was saying, would you ever let Angelina take control of you in a scene? *glances at Angelina, who tries to hide her grin*

MM: “Well, of course, a sub always holds the lion’s share of control in a scene.”

Kelly: “That’s not what I meant. Would you let her tie you up, restrain you, flog you?”

MM: “No, she would never be interested in that role with me.”

Angelina: *looks up at him* “Oh, but, Sir, Luke was showing me some new rope tricks that I would love to try on you.”

MM: *glares at Angelina, who grins and casts her eyes down again. He returns his attention to Princess Masters Brat Kelly* “As I was saying, out of the question. I would not trust anyone to restrain me. Out of the question.”

Kelly: “But you demanded trust from Angelina. *Angelina looks up at me and mouths the words “thank you” I can’t wait to see Angelina continue to tame him in the coming books* “Shouldn’t you give her the same respect and trust her?”

MM: “Next question.”

Kelly *checks notepad* “Sir, tell me about your roll at the Masters at Arms Club.

MM *relaxes—this must be safer territory for him*: “I’m one of the three co-owners, along with two Marine veteran friends I served with in Iraq. Over the past year, I’ve been somewhat…absent…from the club.” *reaches down to stroke Angelina’s head* “But that will change now. I am planning some demonstrations in the medical room, as well as a demonstration of the Florentine flogging technique in the near future.”

*Angelina bites her lower lip*

Kelly: “Is it getting hot in there?” *waves hand in front of face* “Um, where was I?” *looks down at her notepad* “What is the one thing you want people to learn about you through your story?”

Master Marc & Angelina

MM: “That, while I may not be the perfect Dom, I am perfect for Angelina. Right, cara mia?”

Angelina: Yes, Sir. *she smiles and blushes*

MM: “Also that training her gives me great joy. She is so responsive to my commands and listens so attentively. That gives me great pride, knowing she’s under my thumb now. Let me demonstrate. Angelina, what did I just say?” *he smiles, expectantly*

Angelina *furrows her brow as her eyes dart to the side*

Kelly: *tries to muffle her giggle*

MM: “Look at me, bella.”

*Angelina looks up at Master Marc, her breathing shallow*

MM: “You were listening, weren’t you, pet?”

Angelina: *breath catches in her throat* “But, Sir. You were talking to Princess Masters Brat Kelly, not me. I just figured I could go to the blog later to read your responses. I was trying to figure out what happened to that recipe I made for dinner last night that didn’t turn out quite right.”

Kelly:*can’t stop the giggle this time seeing the look on Master Marc’s face* hehe

MM: *sighs* “Ah, pet, that is quite disappointing. A sub is always attentive to her Dom.” *MM glances pointedly at the armrest at the end of the loveseat. He smiles* “Five swats. Bare ass. Just as soon as Principessa Kelly leaves.”

*MM communicates something to Angelina without a word and I get the distinct impression that I’m in the way—sitting between Master Marc and the armrest and all*

Kelly: Ahem. “Um, well, Master Marc, I thank you for taking time out of your busy training schedule to sit down and talk with me. I look forward to telling my readers about your story.”

*MM pulls his attention away from Angelina and turns to me, making me feel a little nervous*

Master Damián

MM:”I am not too busy to train you, as well, Principessa. With the Masters at Arms club becoming so popular lately, Master Damián has asked me to help with the submissive training program again. I would love nothing more than to show you the finer points of my flogging skills. I’ve gotten a lot of practice lately.” *glances at Angelina, who blushes again*

Angelina: “Yes, Sir. Your flogger can be quite…persuasive.”

*Master Damián and Master Luke walk into the great room and survey the scene*

Master Luke

Master Luke *looks at Kelly*: Hi, I don’t believe we’ve met darlin’. I’m the newest Dom here. Master Luke. What’s your name?

Kelly *blushes* I’m Princess Masters Brat Kelly, Luke—Master Luke. I really liked the scene with you in your cowboy outfit in Nobody’s Angel.

Luke *grins* “Are you one of those ‘Save a horse, ride a cowboy’ type subs? How did you like the choices I gave Angelina?”

Kelly: *blushes* “Choices?”

Luke: “Kneel at my feet or sit in my lap.”

Kelly: *did he just order me, or just repeat Angelina’s choices? Oh, well, duh, he’s standing, so obviously he’s not ordering me* “Um, yes, that was the first time you really went all Dom like. Pretty damned hot.”

MM: “Damián, I believe Principessa has forgotten some of her training. Perhaps you or I could make time for her tonight.

Master Damián: *strokes his goatee as he contemplates the idea* “Princesa, we worked so hard for so many months. I thought I had finally prepared you. No wonder you haven’t been able to find a Dom to take you on for more than a night or two. Perhaps we could have a session in the dungeon tonight, if you want to turn this sad situation around. We only want you to find the Dom who will be able to provide for your deepest needs.”

Kelly: *my heart starts pounding. I haven’t been to the dungeon here before. Am I brave enough to go there with the club’s sensual sadist?*  “So, I am thinking I need to go…….But thank you for the offer”

MM: “We can discuss the technique later. First, I think we ought to give away a copy of Kally’s latest, NOBODY’S ANGEL book in the RESCUE ME series to some lucky commenter. Let’s ask them to comment with a suggestion on how we might get Principessa Kelly to stop being a brat? Hmmm. Just imagine the possibilities….”

For a chance to win, please leave your comment below (WITH YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS). If you’d like to suggest ways the Masters at Arms Doms might discipline…er, train Princess Masters Brat Kelly to be a more obedient, respectful sub, feel free! But all comments are welcome and will be counted!

A winner will be chosen using Rafflecopter and will receive a free e-copy of NOBODY’S ANGEL (and MASTERS AT ARMS, if she or he doesn’t have it yet.) Master Marc says you are not permitted to read his book until after you have finished MASTERS AT ARMS.  If you already have Nobody’s Angel, Kally will put you on the list to win a copy of the December release of Nobody’s Hero (Master Adam’s story)

NOBODY’S ANGEL description:

Marc d’Alessio might own a BDSM club with his fellow military veterans, Adam and Damián, but he keeps all women at a distance. However, when Marc rescues beautiful Angelina Giardano from a disastrous first BDSM experience at the club, an uncharacteristic attraction leaves him torn between his safe, but lonely world, and a possible future with his angel.

Angelina leaves BDSM behind, only to have her dreams plagued by the Italian angel who rescued her at the club. When she meets Marc at a bar in her hometown, she can’t shake the feeling she knows him—but has no idea why he reminds her of her angel.

When Marc’s search-and-rescue partner, widower Luke Denton, confides he believes Angelina is the angel his wife promised to send him, Marc is convinced she is meant for Luke. A painful incident from his past keeps Marc from letting any woman drive a wedge between him and a friend.

While Luke can provide Angelina with love and stability, Marc knows his friend can’t satisfy her submissive needs. Marc offers one night to show her that BDSM is not about pain, but a power exchange with mutual trust and consent. But he knows he can’t commit emotionally to anything more.

When the abusive Dom from Angelina’s past threatens, Marc’s protective instincts kick in; he must keep her safe. Again at the Masters at Arms Club, she turns the tables on him—and turns his safe, controlled world upside down. (Book Two in the RESCUE ME series; follows introduction to series, MASTERS AT ARMS.)
