Craving Flight

Tzipporah Berger is thirty-seven and single, which is practically unheard of in the Orthodox Jewish community she now calls home. Her increasing religiosity and need for kink may have broken up her first marriage, but she’s decided it’s time to try again. And the rabbi’s wife has just the man in mind.

Elan Klein is the neighborhood butcher whose intimidating size and gruff manner hint at a deliciously forceful personality. But BDSM isn’t exactly something you discuss during an Orthodox courtship. Will a marriage to Elan solidify her place in the community that she loves and provide the domination and pain Tzipporah craves, or will she forever have to rely on flights of fancy to satisfy her needs?

I wrote this novella for the Goodreads BDSM Group’s 2015 Bring Out Your Kink writing event. Members provided a photo and letter to inspire writers to create an original story, and writers picked the prompt that spoke to them most. There was one prompt that totally grabbed me and wouldn’t let go.
