Pledged

Rate this book
Pledging a fraternity is always a little nerve-wracking, but Blake’s racing pulse comes from more than a fear of rejection. He’s got one eye on Vadim, Delta Iota Kappa’s muscle-bound Chief Punishment Officer, and the other on that paddle. Pledging D.I.K. is going to be a whole lot more challenging, and exciting, than he ever anticipated.

Vadim’s been waiting three years for a little brother all his own, for someone to torment and humiliate, to initiate into all the pleasure, and all the pain, of belonging to their intimate fraternity for two.

This novella (approximately 20,000 words) features lots of spanking, a little humiliation, and a happy ending.

There’s nothing wrong with this, it’s just that once the novelty wore off, neither the kink nor the characters were enough to compel my interest. Also, I felt haunted by real-life stories of fraternity pledges being killed during hazing — which made it difficult for me to take this in the lighthearted way it was intended.

T.M. Chris is Tanya Chris, who I’ve found worth reading in the past. In fact, I have another book of hers waiting on my Kindle right now which hopefully will be more my thing.

DNF @ 45% because I lost interest, but if spanking plus a generous dollop of sado-masochism appeals to you, I wouldn’t discourage you from reading it.

Blake, a fraternity pledge discovers he has masochistic tendencies when he is spanked by the fraternity sadist during the pledge ceremony.
Vadim, the self proclaimed sadist, will spank and slap Blake's ass during a period of four weeks (the duration of the pledge). The end.

The toll will round up to two blowjobs, two sex scenes and spanking galore.
Almost dnfed from all the spanking but I got till the end.
Do I recommend it? If you're bored, yes.

Well, that was a fun little romp on the kinky side.

College boys, frat houses and spanking.

Underlying it is the theme of discovering yourself and a developing romantic relationship. Very well written with perfect pacing and editing.

“So if you dig choking on my dick, or wearing my handprints like they’re fucking Gucci underwear, or taking my cock up your ass so far and so often you’re more cockwhore than college student, I’m not going to rank on you for that. I like that you like it. That’s why I picked you. I’m going to get mine, you’re going to get yours, and when this is over, you’ll have so much to jerk off to you’ll never need internet access again.”— 😆

This was a short, sexy book that really packed a punch (well, spanking)! It is unapologetically spanking erotica, not a romance, not plot-centric, but I actually felt the plot was just fine, and enough to really get a feel for the characters and the frat house. It was fun to get to be in Blake's head right as he's first realizing that humiliation and spanking are a turn-on for him; understandably, that's not necessarily something you'd grow up knowing. And Vadim! Hoo boy!!! I would LOVE to see what he looks like in real life. He's written well - his smolder comes right off the page.

Vadim and Blake have an instant connection and fit well together (hello, sadist, meet masochist).and it is HOT. Personally, I'm a WIMP. Like, spanking does not appeal to me at ALL. But Blake SO clearly gets off on it and yearns for more that it's still sexy. And despite expecting this to be pure erotica and no romance, there's still an "aw" moment at the end. It was also edited well, which is sometimes lacking in erotic shorts. Overall, it was a fun and sexy escape from reality for a little while.

Loved it!! 🏓
Vadim is a college senior who created and gave himself the position of Chief Punishment Officer for his fraternity; all to satisfy his deeply sadistic desires.
Blake is a freshman who discovers he might have a (huge) humiliation and spanking kink as he goes through pledging.

“I told you, don’t grope. Honestly, Vadim, if we get sued—” “Don’t worry,” Vadim interrupted. “I know how to pick ’em.”

Yes he does.😍 This book is crazy hot.🔥 It’s short but feels much larger with fully developed characters and witty repartee amongst intense, highly erotic scenes.
Highly recommend.

This was pledging a Frat House and one boys discovery he LIKES spanking! (In case the name/cover were too vague for you.) He gets chosen by the Chief Punishment Officer, a self-proclaimed sadist, to get initiated into said frat-- which is known as "DIK" for short. O, yea. He's gay.

This was a short (!) read that I probably wasn't supposed to find as funny as I did but what can I say? Other than, "Woo-HOO!"

Oh my freaking fucking god. This was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. So dirty and hot! I honestly had no idea I'd be into this kind of kinky stuff, but I suppose we never stop learning about ourselves, right? Blake and Vadim are sizzling hot. Vadim is a sadist and Blake gets off with hard spankings and humiliation. A match made in heaven! What starts as a frat pledge turns into a commited relationship and call me a sap or whatever but I fucking loved when Vadim gives Blake the choker.

Stopped at 27%. Maybe I will come back to finish this one some other time.

I do like humiliation-kink. It can work really well in some situations, but this is too much "for everyone to see", almost getting boring sometimes. A bit too cringy instead of exciting as it should have been. Great idea for a book though...

“Don’t worry,” Vadim interrupted. “I know how to pick ’em.”

Blake is a freshman pledging for Delta Iota Kappa (D.I.K.). Vadim is a senior and the “Chief Punishment Officer for D.I.K.

“We can’t wrap up this year’s paddling of the pledges until we hand the paddle over to our Chief Punishment Officer and resident sadist, Vadim.”

Before pledging Blake didn't know he could or would enjoy being humiliated and spanked. Luckily for him Vadim saw just how much Blake enjoyed the punishments and pick Blake as his little brother for the next four weeks of rush.

“Like a blank canvas,” Vadim said. He traced the periphery of Blake’s a** cheeks, running his fingers over all the swells and curves.

I really enjoy both Blake and Vadim's relationship through-out rush. Vadim doesn't hold back and Blake takes it like the good little brother he is. This book is hot and sweet.

Not Misha Horne level, but close enough, I'll read more from this author for sure.

Pros:
- Blake is a pain/humiliation slut; he realizes he loves to be spanked hard when he is in the middle of a pledge. Luckily for him, the one who catches his eye is a sadist.
- I don't really like exhibitionism but the other guys weren't really interested sexually in what Blake was showing off, so it was kinda innocent. If you can call "innocent" walking around their fraternity house in a short skirt with no underwear and being spanked here and there in front of anyone.
- from the very beginning, Vadim, setting the rules, tells Blake they are exclusive, so the beings of a romance is there.

Cons:
- I hate pledges in general; they should be banned, guys are jerks and it is dehumanizing.
- They go all the way and even confess their love for each other and become bf/bf, but there isn't even ONE kiss?? in the whole book??

For the lack of kisses, it went from 4 to 3 :(

A masochist in the fraternity pledge class gets a sadist for a big brother. Much spanking, paddling, and orgasms ensue.

****

Extra on the author’s website: https://tanyachris.com/freestories/pl...

Last year, Blake was getting all the love and torture he needed from his boyfriend and frat brother, Vadim, on a daily basis, but now Vadim has graduated and moved off-campus, leaving Blake craving more than just an occasional weekend spanking. When he seeks out punishment from another source, Vadim makes him pay for his betrayal with some CBT.
Content warning: includes harsh cock-and-ball torture. Not for everyone!

“Here’s how this is going to go, boyfriend. You’re in for a world of hurt now because I don’t just have this ass on loan; I fucking own it.”

Oh that was the perfect amount of hot and sweet

“So if you dig choking on my dick, or wearing my handprints like they’re fucking Gucci underwear, or taking my cock up your ass so far and so often you’re more cockwhore than college student, I’m not going to rank on you for that.

Amazed

I loved this story! I knew it was a short story going in; so I wasn't too surprised to reach the end. But I was still disappointed! It is hard not to fall for these two especially at the end which had me in tears. I would love to read another story about these two further down the line - maybe set in the future after college when life has started. Oh maybe with a couple of children. I'm just putting it out there for author consideration. :) It's a lovely story as is!!

Blake never expected to enjoy the humiliation and the spankings he receives while pledging to his fraternity. However, since he's gay, he's worried about being turned on around the other frat brothers because he doesn't want to mess up his chances of joining. Once he gets the spanking he really wants from senior frat brother, Vadim, he knows this is something he needs. Vadim knows as well and he picks Blake to be his "little brother" for four weeks. Vadim provides Blake a safe place where he can enjoy the spankings and the humiliation. I loved the ending and it was fitting for them.

3.75 - liked a lot

Whoo! This one was fucking HOT.

D.I.K. pledge Blake is gay, and when faced with paddling in his frat's initiation, extremely turned on. There's one guy, Vadim, who seems to get off on seeing Blake paddled, and consequently takes him as his little brother in the frat. What happens after is a whole lot of S/M and impact play. And it is hooooooot.

I think I'm pretty into impact play and S/M, and this book just makes that more obvious. Would recommend for people who want a quick erotic read, gay erotica, S/M, and impact play.

A short, quick read that is centered around spanking. I found it to be a sexy storyline about initiation period in a fraternity. Vadim and Blake are great characters that have an instant connection and chemistry. If you enjoy stories about spanking with some cute moments, the this is the book for you.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.

A really enjoyable Frat based story

Blake is a freshman wanting to join the frat house. Paired up with Vadim, the month is a series experiences where Blake finds out so much about himself and his own sexuality. Both hot and sweet, this was a really enjoyable frat book that wasn't all about total humiliation.

This is my favorite type of kink book: when I go in for the kink and come out with feelings. I loved these two together, the setting and definitely the spankings. Normally when I enjoy something this length this much, I'd be wanting for more. But this was actually a perfectly contained story and I'm just so satisfied with it.

This book was ok, but I didn't like it as much as Tamed. There is a lot of spanking. Sadist meets masochist (who didn't know until he was) and happy spank times happen.

I did not dislike this book but it isn't one I would want to read again. Neither MC was angsty or very deeply portrayed. A surface kind of book.

This was a nice kinky surprise.

When I read the title and saw what this book was about I thought it would be a short story with kinky paddling and not much else. Oh boy this is more than that. It is a story of Blake learning his desires and find it love. I highly enjoyed it.
