The weekend is here!
It’s time to open the doors at The Satin Rose Experience for
MIA’S SUBMISSION Fluffy Pink Handcuffs Release Party!
Welcome to SRE, beautiful people! The elevator whisked you up to the exclusive 20th floor of Rosebud Resorts flagship location at 50th & Lexington Avenue in New York City. You emerge into an energy-charged oasis where low techno music beats and servers pass crystal flutes of champagne. You just entered The Satin Rose Experience.
SRE is an ultra exclusive members-only BDSM club and New York’s #1 kinkster club choice for the rich and famous. Asher Cane’s opening the doors to nonmembers this weekend for an Open House party just for Mia (she has him wrapped around her little finger!). Come along and allow me to introduce you to the SRE staff.
Meet Courtney, SRE’s concierge. She schedules and directs members to each of the ten themed suites. It’s her job to ensure guests receive the ultimate Satin Rose Experience.
You’ll see Courtney in each SRE story. Who knows, maybe one day she’ll get a book of her own!
Courtney directs you to the expansive lounge where you’ll be greeted by Jake, SRE’s bar manager and Asher’s righthand man.
Jake’s an ex-military man who keeps the lounge running like a well-oiled machine. Asher counts on him to take care of issues which may arise at the bar. Jake is fiercely loyal to Asher and SRE. We’ll catch up with Jake in a few minutes for the contest details!
But first, let me introduce you to your party hosts!
Meet the heroine and hero of MIA’S SUBMISSION and THE SATIN ROSE EXPERIENCE (contributing story in the KEYBOARDS AND KINK anthology), Mia Lavender and Asher Cane.
Mia and Asher’s story began in the K&K Anthology story, The Satin Rose Experience.
From the moment Mia walked into Asher’s office, he knew she was the perfect candidate for the position at SRE. Asher uses his Twitter alias to breakdown Mia’s fears and convinces her to submit and feed her curiosity.
Want to see more of Mia and Asher?
Oh yes! I love their chemistry!
Blurb:
Hardworking Mia Lavender’s been offered a promotion she can’t refuse–VP of Client Experience at New York’s exclusive BDSM club, The Satin Rose Experience, or SRE. Mia’s kept her submissive tendencies a secret, until now. She’ll have ample opportunity to explore her fantasy because to succeed in her new role at SRE, she will need on-the-job training at the hands of Asher Cane.
During Asher Cane’s very first training session with Mia, he fails to follow his own rules and has the hottest vanilla sex of his life. Mia needs training, and Asher is damned if he’ll allow another Dom to touch her. Can Asher be the dispassionate trainer Mia needs to learn the exquisite give and take of dominance and submission? Or will Mia’s submission come only at the cost of his heart?
Mia’s Submission is Book One of The Satin Rose Experience (SRE) series.
SRE, New York’s elite BDSM club residing on the twentieth floor of Rosebud Resorts, contains ten uniquely themed suites, each with its own story to tell. Find the introduction of SRE in The Satin Rose Experience, a short story in Evernight Publishing’s Keyboards and Kink Anthology.
Mia Buzz:
“*Sigh* Damn it, I am in love with Asher Cane…
Every time I read Sandra Bunino I’m mesmerized. I’m an irrevocable fan. Her stories just get better and better, and I never know what to expect anymore because she succeeds at knocking me off my feet. There, I said it! She’s raised the bar for herself even higher with Mia’s Submission, and I’m anxiously waiting for the rest of the series to come.” ~ In Love With Romance
“Oh, this is the start of something real good. Sandra Bunino has got my attention. SRE #1 is a quick read and there is a ton to love. Mia and Asher melt on the page. Mia jumps into her new position with both feet and I cant blame her, but that doesn’t mean Asher isn’t testing her. He takes her to a room that is set up to make the submissive feel physically insecure. Oh boy, but it helps build the trust between her and Asher. Very nice. There’s also a moment here that pounds on your heart and leaves you panting. Yes, the start of something real good. Must Read.” ~ Author, S.J. Maylee
Exclusive Excerpt:
Mia paced the room, her eyes darting around the tricked out armoire. A scraping at the door snapped her back into the present where she remembered she was supposed to be facing the corner. Shit! Shoes! She grabbed a pair of black stilettos from the bottom of the cabinet, jumped over the bed, slipped on her shoes and faced the wall just as the door opened. Blood rushed in her ears as she willed her breath to return to normal. Sounds of the soft swish from the fabric of his pants burned through her body. She thought she heard him chuckle as the soft cabinet motor sounded, indicating he returned it to its original state. Two clicks rang in her ears as he closed the armoire.
“Breathe, Mia. Deep breaths in and out,” Asher said slowly. His decadent voice washed over her.
Mia inhaled a deep breath through her nose, allowing the cool air of the room to fill her lungs. She held the air captive in her chest for a moment and slowly blew it out through her lips as though she were blowing out a candle.
“Better?”
Mia jerked her head to the side and nodded.
“Turn around.”
She swiveled on her stilettos, squaring her shoulders, and stared directly into his eyes, determined not to show signs of the terror that rose in her throat. Searching his face, she looked for a hint of what to expect from Dom Asher Cane. His eyes gave nothing away; however his jaw clenched and his Adam’s apple bobbed as his gaze burned a path up her body.
“You look beautiful,” he said hoarsely while unbuttoning his suit jacket and shrugging out of the satin lined material.
It was Mia’s turn to take her own visual journey over Asher’s body when he turned and hung his jacket on the knob of the armoire. His impeccably tailored pants fit perfectly around his ass and tapered at his waist. His white broadcloth shirt hugged snugly around his muscular back and shoulders and the ends of his straight dark hair skimmed the pressed collar. Nervous excitement filled her belly when he turned and sauntered toward her. Moisture flooded her core as he unbuttoned the cuff of his right sleeve and methodically rolled the thick material of his shirt to expose his tanned forearms, sprinkled with dark hairs.
“Training starts now, Mia. To do the job of Vice President of Client Services at SRE you must know what your clients will experience. They will come to you for information, advice and counsel. The only way you can truly help them is if you’ve experienced it yourself, to feel what they’ll feel. So, what do you think of Suite Five?” Asher asked, unknotting his tie and pulling it from his collar.

Following is sexy!
Follow me on Twitter @sandrabunino
This is so fun and clever! Back later for the contests.
laters baby
Oh how fun Sandra! I’ve already ordered my copy at Amazon!!! Can’t wait to read it honey!!! Congrats and have a blast tonight
xxoo Love you girl!
Hey Amy!
Thanks so much! I can’t wait to read your Racing To Love!
((hugs))
OMG! I love those photos of Mia and Asher! I think I left my jaw somewhere on the floor, lol. I’m so happy for you Sandra, and even happier that you’re writing this super sexy series. I am so looking forward to more of SRE.
I’m not a drinker, so my knowledge and imagination with liquor is quite limited. I did however come across this drink that is not only visually beautiful, but the name and one of the ingredients kind of screams SRE.
The drink is called The New Bees Knees (I like the play of words, New Bees / Newbie’s). Check out the photo: http://tinyurl.com/cfnjeuo
The ingredients are:
1/4 cup hot water
)
1 teaspoon dried lavender blossoms* (OMG, Lavender!!!
1/4 cup honey
6 tablespoons gin
2 tablespoons lemon juice
I imagine the hot water is like Mia and Asher’s chemistry – HOT
The lavender blossoms could be a play on Mia’s last name. But did you know that the meaning of lavender is devotion? That kind of fits perfectly with Asher and Mia and their feelings.
The honey …. I bet Asher would claim Mia tasted like the sweetest honey.
Gin is smooth and sexy …. like Asher
Lemon juice for the extra “bite”.
What do you think?
Hi Michelle! *waves*
I love this recipe. I can see Jake serving these on cold winter NYC nights. I can just smell the delicious scent of lavender wafting from the steamy glass.
Lavender = devotion? How perfect. xoxo
You cocktail: Pink Pussy Cocktail

My cocktail is Called a Slippery Nipple
(( snickers ))
1/2 oz Bailey’s® Irish cream
1/2 oz butterscotch schnapps
Pour the Butterscotch in first…… then SLOWLY pour the Irish cream on top to get the full effect of this drink… not just the appearance but also the way the flavors collide with your tastebuds! Bottoms up! In one gulp!

Nipple On Fire
1/3 oz butterscotch schnapps
1/3 oz Firewater® cinnamon schnapps
1/3 oz Irish cream
Pour in order into a shot glass; butterscotch, firewater, and float the irish cream.

Tortuga rum cream
Pour butterscotch schnapps into a shot glass and add kahlua. Use a dropper to add rum cream drop by drop on the outside edge of the shot to form a ring or “Pearl Necklace.”
** loved the teasers and the pics ** Happy release day !**
kat
Hi Kat!
Oh! Your recipes are decadent! Yum!
Any drink made with Kahlua, Baileys, Tortuga rum cream is a liquid dessert. I love the Pearl Necklace recipe but Jake’s giving me the evil eye – I don’t think he likes the rim the glass drop by drop thing. LOL!
Thanks for stopping by!
Congrats, Sandra!
Drink suggestion: Sex on the Beach
1 1/2 oz vodka
1/2 oz peach schnapps
2 oz cranberry juice

I feel the need to say I’d be a lot more likely to drink the “Blowjob” than this…)
Hey Tara!!
Those sites are fantastic! I’m bookmarking them for my next cocktail party.
Sex on the Beach is the perfect summertime drink and the “Blowjob” sounds yummy!
Roses are sexy like the snippet ^_^
Cocktail name – A bed of roses.
Cocktail ingredients – put a couple of rose petals and a fresh raspberry in the bottom of a champagne flute, add 10 mls monin rose syrup, 10 mls chambord raspberry liqueur and top with your favourite champagne.
Hi Pamela!
I love your drink name “A Bed of Roses” – how perfect for SRE!
I really want to try this drink. Maybe I can get Jake to whip one up.
Thanks for stopping by!
Hi there! Had to come by and check out all the sexy fun! Wearing in pink in your honor of course!
Here is a fun drink idea:
The Strawberry Tart
Three cut up fresh strawberries
One lime, divided in half- squeeze half into drink, cut up other half and drop into mix
Sprite- 1/2 glass
Two teaspoons grenadine
Two shots vodka if desired (or not for us tea drinker types)
Add ice and stir
Hope everyone had a wonderful time at the party! I can’t wait to read more about the amazing SRE club!
Mwah!!
Erzabet
Hey there Erzabet!
First, thank you for showing your support for the Fluffy Pink Handcuffs Release Party by wearing pink! I love it!!
I like that your drink has a non-alcoholic option. It sounds delish.
Wow – so many great drinks.
Jake is such a sexy devil. I wonder if he’s smirking at us from behind the bar – all these crazy drinks and their names. The Purple Penis sounds great, but i’d be too shy to order that from Jake. Perhaps the Pearl Necklace though
Is Jake available?
Hey sweetie!
Jake is very available. However, Asher has a rule against staff getting involved with guests. Jake can look but he can’t touch.
He likes the Pearl Necklace recipe but he says I’m crazy if I think he’s going to place drops of rum cream on the rim of a glass. LOL!
What?! No!!! So Asher can start something with his employee, but Jake can’t have a little *cough* fun with a guest? *Glares at Asher*
LOL! Well, the trick would be getting the drops of cream to stick
Jake: *raises eyebrows and looks at Asher*
Asher: *clears throat* We’ll talk about this after the party. *walks out of the lounge*
Jake: *winks at Michelle*
Okay, this is utterly ridiculous! I feel butterflies swarming, and I’m feeling a little … damp. LOL! Oh geez … *faints*
Heyyyy NOT much of a drinker..but I’m definitely a LOVER..of great Erotic Romance..naming Ms. Bunino! Wat a sweet Love Hangerover I never want 2 get over!
bks.,bks. & MORE BKS..:P! thanQQQ Ms. Bunino Im excited & extremely appreciative..((sigh):)

Hey Mel!
I’ve never tried ChocoVine! It sounds great and what a wonderfully decadent recipe.
I really like the Slow Seduction recipe too. The mix of raspberries, grapefruit juice and champagne is so refreshing!
Thanks for stopping by! xoxo
Just stopping in to say Happy Release Party! I don’t drink much but I do like to have a glass of Menage a Trois wine on occasion. There are seven wines to choose from depending on what you desire at the time from a sweet to a spicy. Could be a wine for each different room???
suz2(at)cox(dot)net
Hey Susan!
I drink Menage a Trios and love it. What a delish blend and you can’t beat the bottle price!
Wines for each suite? Great idea!
This as nothing to do with the contest, however …. Do you think Asher would like this kind of surprise? –> http://tinyurl.com/cpd6kxt and http://tinyurl.com/bny7tbn *evil grin*
Wow! Vajazzle tattoos!
I think Mia should surprise Asher with one. Maybe at the Las Vegas SRE Grand Opening.
Or, if he ever gets around to asking her a specific question
Perhaps sometime in the future.
Wow, a lot of sweet submissions for you ladies! All delicious recipes that I may add to my stash….
I like Lynns Purple Penis, but could see how a lady may blush at the idea of ordering one of those from Jake….but I think that Mel’s Slow Seduction takes it….A refreshing mix that you can comfortably order from Jake and keep coming back for more!
I really like some of Lila’s drink name suggestions, I may have to add some ingredients to make them my own signature drinks.
Drink up ladies and gents and be sure to always swallow
-MMC

Leave it to Ms. Shaw to throw down a dozen fantastic drink names!
My favorites are Candy Cane Me Good (I’m sure Asher Cane will love this one!), Tie Me Down (oh yeah!), Tequila Commando (gotta give one to Jake) and Dom-Dominator (who wouldn’t love that one?).
I also found this which made me think of their first encounter mmmm …
Long (Sloe) Slow Comfortable Screw Against the Wall
Sloe or Slow depending if you’re using the sloe berry-infused gin or just regular gin.
One part each Southern Comfort and Vodka, half part each Galliano and (Sloe) Gin, four parts orange juice, ice. Build in a tall glass.
Come (lol!) to think of it, there was nothing slow about that scene, was there?
Just the sound of that makes me all warm and tingly. *fans self*
Some great cock tails there ** snickers **
LOL!
Well, a French Martini is a sleek, chic, sexy drink.
1 cup ice
1 1/2 oz. vodka
1 1/2 oz. pineapple juice
1/2 oz. raspberry liqueur
As for the name, you could name it whatever you want. A French Kiss, A Taste of Love, whatever appeals to you.

Congrats on the new release, Sandra! I am excited to read this one too! Wonderful pics and yummy excerpt.
And how about a Slippery Nipple? They are delicious! Though it is more of a shot than a drink.
