An Erotic BDSM Thriller by Simone Francis

The Bookshop blends a racy thriller with tales of spankings, whippings and kinky sex

It’s 1908 and Amelia Slone is bored until her friend Frances disappears. The bookshop and the haughty, arrogant Prussian Konrad von Schellenberg are her only clues. Determined to find her friend, her search leads her into a secret society devoted to sexual submission, kidnapping and murder that hides just below the surface of Edwardian London. Desperate to find her friend Amelia discovers new passions for both men and women.

Chapter 1

Above the window, a sign simply said The Bookshop. She turned the handle on the door and pushed. Its old hinges creaked as it opened slowly, almost as if grudgingly allowing her in.

The inside of the shop was lit only by what grey winter light from the window had managed to sneak in between the piles of books. Amelia was forced to pause for a moment as her eyes adjusted to gloom. The smell of antique paper and the accumulation of years of dusty knowledge made her nose itch. It was cold inside and her breath still misted the air.

“Good morning, madam, may I be of service?” The weak, crackling voice seemed to emerge from nothing but darkness.

“Yes.” Amelia straightened her back and lifted her chin in an attempt to exert her position and demonstrate, more to herself than the owner of the voice, that she was confident. “I am searching for a book.” Although this was the truth, she suddenly felt a little foolish since she was clearly in a bookshop. In fact, the whole expedition suddenly seemed more than a little absurd.

“We have many,” the voice said, apparently without irony. “Are you searching for a particular title or maybe on a specific subject?”

The question made Amelia even more uncomfortable. “May I just look around?”

“Certainly, madam. I will light some lamps in case you wish to explore the darker recesses of the collection.”

Darker recesses. Amelia almost turned to leave. That was exactly why she was here.

‘Should we continue?’ Amelia asked.
‘It is good to give your compliant a rest from your attentions.’ Mary raised herself up. ‘Especially when conducting a flagellation for pleasure.’ She turned and smiled at Amelia. ‘It gives the pain time to seep into every pore. But I don’t think we are there yet. She lay back down. ‘At least another twenty or thirty good strokes should suffice.’

‘That maid is hopeless,’ Mrs Eustace exclaimed. ‘She really needs a damn good flogging.’

She looked across at Amelia. ‘Please excuse my language. I only use it in front of friends, and I already regard you as a friend Miss Slone’

‘I agree with both the language and the sentiments my dear Mrs Eustace.’

‘Please, if we are to be friends. Call me Emily.’
‘And you should call me Amelia.’ She reached out and took Emily’s hand. ‘Should we not call her back? Administering such a flogging would be such fun,’

‘My dear Amelia you are a person of continuous surprises. Indeed, it would be stimulating. ’She stood up and tugged on the bell pull.

‘May I suggest that we continue to use more formal address in your maid’s presence to maintain the required authority,’ Amelia said.

‘Of course, my dear Miss Slone.’ Mrs Eustace’s smile vanished as the maid entered the room. ‘Go and fetch the cane and the crop girl.’
