Bound for Service #4

A Shameful Punishment

Rate this book
Katrina Cole swore loyalty to the Pretorian Guard. Then she betrayed them. Now she has been caught, and her punishment will be more shameful than anything she could have ever imagined.

She will be bound, naked and helpless, as she is thoroughly and painfully strapped. Then she will be used in the most humiliating ways possible, taken over and over again first by the man who trained her and then by one guardsman after another. Her begging and pleading will be ignored as one savage climax after another is wrung from her quivering body, and by the time her ordeal is complete she will be left in no doubt that she has truly been utterly and completely mastered.

Publisher's Note: A Shameful Punishment is a stand-alone book which is the fourth entry in the Bound for Service series, which shares the same near-future setting as The Institute Series. It includes spankings, sexual scenes, intense and humiliating punishments, and strong D/s themes. If such material offends you, please don't buy this book.

About the author

Emily Tilton

242 books501 followers
Emily Tilton, whose books have hit number one on Amazon in six different erotica categories, wishes she could live out her fantasies of submission the way her characters do.

Emily's erotica is a narrative version of her nearly lifelong quest to reconcile her submissive erotic orientation with her ethics. She writes erotic romance, but her books are always frankly and unashamedly about sex, because writing about sex helps her understand that fundamental part of her life better. She hopes maybe it does the same for her readers.

Over the many years since Emily became aware of her sometimes unbearable craving for spanking, ravishment, and all the shameful things that go with it, she has tried to come to terms with that craving in more ways than she can count. The first of the ways was by reading, voraciously, every piece of BDSM erotica she could find.

Eventually, she read "Story of O." As is reflected throughout her work, it changed her life, though the change has been gradual, and continues to this day. The idea that other women might share the lusts she has by turns been ashamed of and defiantly proud of, that a woman like the real Pauline Réage might write so beautifully of those lusts, and work them out so thoroughly and even pitilessly on a character, put Réage's famous pencil in her right hand. Or, to put it in the terms of EXPLORATIONS, which she considers her magnum opus, it put her left hand on the keyboard of her laptop and her right hand in her lap, if you know what she means. Emily started to write spanking stories.

Strong conclusion

The books of this series the together in this extremely exciting conclusion. The last book has some very dark areas and extremely graphic erotic scenes.

This was a puzzling story for me. While I understood (for the most part) where the author was going with this, I was left feeling a little lost in the end. Was that supposed to be that she would be okay now? That they used her so now she's back in the fold? I'm not sure what to take from this book.

I found the punishment unbecoming and abusive. I think I believe the CIA thoughts on the group and not what they are trying to tell her it is. Total mind blow...total brain washing. Who would think that doing what they did to her and continue to do to others is for the good of the world/country? It is blatant prostitution without her getting anything in return. Was this supposed to be entertaining? I was cringing as I read the story. Granted the author pulled me into the story, but I was turned off by the abusive nature of her imagination regarding her punishment. Regardless of what she did, no one deserves to have multiple men for hours basically raping her as her punishment - even when they said it was rape. So I am reviewing with mixed feelings. Mixed because the author pulled me in almost unwillingly just to see what would happen to her. But I found the ending to be unclear.

Hard to follow

The plot of this thing was too hard to follow and the way the story kept jumping from different prospectives was too much. There was not much of a story line other than lots of humiliation and degradation.

Jay et Katrina

Daddy et girl

📖
Katrina Cole a juré fidélité à la Garde Prétorienne. Puis elle les a trahis. Elle a désormais été arrêtée et sa punition sera plus honteuse que tout ce qu'elle aurait pu imaginer.
Elle sera attachée, nue et impuissante, car elle est soigneusement et douloureusement attachée. Ensuite, elle sera utilisée de la manière la plus humiliante possible, reprise encore et encore, d'abord par l'homme qui l'a entraînée, puis par un garde après l'autre. Ses supplications et ses supplications seront ignorées alors qu'un point culminant sauvage après l'autre sera arraché à son corps frémissant, et au moment où son épreuve sera terminée, elle n'aura plus aucun doute sur le fait qu'elle a vraiment été totalement et complètement maîtrisée.

Heureuse, Katrina ?

Jay reprit la parole, de la même voix lointaine. « Nous avons trouvé l'endroit où il vous a emmené et nous savons plus ou moins ce qui s'est passé. Ne te sens pas trop mal, Katrina. Ce n'est pas si inhabituel. Il n'arrive pas souvent qu'une fille monte aussi haut dans l'ordre que vous l'avez fait avec ce défaut encore dans sa formation, mais c'est un problème bien connu, lorsqu'une columba est initiée pour la première fois. Beaucoup de filles à ce stade, et même en tant que nupta ou bellatrix , peuvent se retrouver amoureuses d'un homme dominant qui semble plus dangereux que leur propriétaire. Mais félicitations, Katrina : tu es la première agna à trahir le garde. Il fit une pause. Katrina sentit un profond froncement de sourcils couvrir son visage : que voulait-il dire ? Lorsque Jay reprit la parole, ses paroles coupèrent comme de la glace. "C'est sur moi."

"Non!" Elle cria le déni, le petit mot encore plus déchirant dans sa gorge que les déclarations élaborées que Halvorson lui avait imposées, de son désir incontrôlable de sa cruauté.

Ce n'est pas de ta faute, Jay.

La pièce semblait très petite à Katrina, même si elle ne pouvait en voir qu'un coin. Maintenant, la façon dont l'air se déplaçait autour d'elle, à proximité de son derrière relevé – car le banc d'interrogatoire avait une inclinaison qui abaissait la tête d'une jeune fille et soulevait son arrière-train lorsqu'elle chevauchait sa surface rembourrée – lui disait à la fois que le sol taillé La chambre n'avait en effet qu'un volume très limité et que Jay avait fait au moins un pas vers elle. Katrina étouffa un cri d'alarme à l'idée de ce qui pourrait arriver ensuite, puis sa main complice s'empara de la chatte que l'Ordre d'Ostie lui avait dévoilée, pour lui, deux ans auparavant, et l'avait gardée nue pour lui depuis.

Katrina poussa un autre sanglot, mais celui-ci provenait d'un pur plaisir – un délice qu'elle ne voulait pas ressentir maintenant, mais qu'elle n'aurait pas pu empêcher si sa vie en dépendait.

"Je sais qu'il ne sait pas comment te toucher comme ça, Agna ," murmura Jay.

I really enjoyed this book. It's not a romance in the traditional sense, but it is certainly one steamy read. I liked that we got to see more of Maia and Gordon from Book 3, since their story felt unfinished.

There are scenes that skirt the edge of dubious consent, and some extreme punishment scenes, so if you don't enjoy that then this ISN'T the book for you. It can be read as a standalone, there is enough back story given to understand the setting, though having read some of the Institute books or other books in this series would enhance your enjoyment of this.

Katrina is a very conflicted and confused character, at times I felt as though the Pretorian Guard had taken advantage of a very naive and vulnerable girl. However Jay clearly cares for her and takes her well being seriously.

The writing is good, it flowed smoothly and held my attention throughout the story. Whilst this mainly centres around Katrina's punishment there is also a decent suspense element to the plot too.

If you have read any of Ms Tilton's previous "future" books, then you know what to expect. For those that have not, the world is in a bit of a mess (note: dystopia) and sexual punishment and manipulation have become the norm in multiple sectors, both public and private. Which as one might expect, can be quite erotic from a fictional standpoint.

In some ways, Ms Tilton almost does too good a job of writing her stories and developing her setting. The situations and characters seem real and that can cause just a bit of unease at the plight of our heroine in some readers.

That being said, this is fiction and as long as we keep that in mind, the story is awesome, well developed and very steamy. Fans of D/S and punishment should really enjoy the story.

Highly recommended (as fiction).

This is the first book I've read by this author and I thought it was good. It is a standalone story so coming into the series on book four did not pose a problem for understanding. There were some intense sex/punishment scenes which were good. Like I said, overall I thought the story was good, but there was something that kept me from really connecting to the story. I can't put my finger on it though. If the blurb sounds like something you would like, I'd still recommend giving it a chance.

Way too Balanced and Civilised….

Em, I luv your trickling, Such a beautiful trip into submissiveness, the bathroom training absolutely magic. My only want was to share her shame as she developed a more refined taste towards his trickling her throat after having to clean the bathroom with only an orifice and then a reward. Hope to see you there one day… unless you’ve been there previously?

This book is hot from beginning to end. I have read the other books in the series, so I knew what I was getting myself into, but I had to hide this one from the fam. No reading over the shoulder from the little ones. The story was exciting, the characters engaging, and the heat level was just right. Emily Tilton is a favorite of mine, and I can't wait for the next book.

This is one of my first audio books and I didn't care for it at all. I think it is too much Sci-Fi for me and listening to the book - I had a hard time following who everyone was. I just got bored and by chapter 7 - I just couldn't listen anymore. Someday if I come across the ebook version of the book I might try it again - but I think I need to stay away from SciFi.

Katrina swore loyalty to the Pretorian Guard and then she betrayed them. Now she will be punished. This is a fast-paced steamy read. Great characters and an entertaining steamy read. Just wish it was a bit longer. I really liked it.

DNF

This book didn’t make any sense. It was unnecessarily confusing and quite frankly boring. I’m very disappointed in this read.

Explicit sexual situations that make you cringe at times. I didn’t know all that sex will make you forgiven and brought back to the society ....interesting
