The girl on the cover had the right expression, which is why I chose her for my book cover. This was back when there was only a limited number of stock photos. 2012 wasn't that long ago, but my how times have changed!
Excerpt from Brie Embraces Bondage:
“This is a long
process, toriko. It is essential that you and I are in sync.” He motioned for
her to kneel. He knelt behind and wrapped his arms around her, pressing Brie
against his chest. “Find my breath and copy it. Breathe with me, toriko.”
She was startled
by his request, but calmed herself enough to listen to his breathing. She began
matching her own with his. Tono’s breaths were consistent and measured. She had
to slow way down to harmonize. Soon she felt her entire body relax as she
became one with him. “Good…” he murmured softly. “If you feel anxious at any
point, I want you to match your breath with mine.”
Brie nodded. He
picked up a long jute rope and showed it to her. “Today, this simple material
will transport you to nirvana.” She touched it and was surprised that it felt
both soft and rough. “Smell it, toriko.” She took in its earthy smell and
smiled.
“We are all in harmony. You, me…the rope.”![]() |
