Distressed damsels: EMPOWERED vol.9's deleted bedroom cosplay scene, pt.2 (Patreon)

Following up from last week's spanking-intensive excerpt, here's the second half of a bedroom cosplay scene removed from Empowered vol.9, mainly (but not entirely) because I needed the pagecount for the sprawling action scenes at the end of the book.  

This is the original ending of the story "Power Stripped," complete with the sudden and jarring transition between cozy post-coital scene and poor ol' Ghost Writer jackin' it. Ouch! If GW hadn't been such a jackass to Emp over the book proposal, I might've felt sorry for the sad bastard.

As I said, I mainly cut this sequence because I needed the pagecount elsewhere. Too bad, because I thought this was rather a sweet and funny scene (well, except for the last page). Even so, I thought it was a tad, well, distracting, given that the 100+ page chapter "Distress and the Damsel" follows immediately afterward; I didn't need readers contemplating Highly Demanding Submissive Nekkid Emp as a more serious story was getting underway.

Also, I might have been sweating that readers would think this somehow hypocritical of Emp, ludicrous as that might seem. As in, "See, she does like to get spanked!" Well, yeah, in an elaborate bedroom roleplaying dealie with her boyfriend, sure; in pretty much any other situation, not so much.

Anyhoo, as the gallery above arguably doesn't feature true Damsel in Distress content as such, here's a quick bonus, folks. Below is a Emp sketch set drawn for a a kindly supporter from, I think, four or five years ago, featuring two DiD poses I wound up reusing in actual Empowered stories. 

The pose at lower left above got repurposed (and flopped, to show Emp facing left) in the DiD-riffic Chevalier Blanc story in Empowered vol. 10, as seen below:

(Note, DiD aficionados, that the strong dose of distress in vol.10 was intended to deliver enough of such content to cover vol.11 as well, which had fewer opportunities for such imagery. This scheme didn't quite work as planned, though, in that it took me almost two years longer than anticipated to finish vol.11. Whoops!)

The unusual pose and camera angle from the upper right corner of the sketch set was quite recently reused (well, more or less) in a distinctive shot from a story slated for Empowered vol. 12 and posted here a few weeks ago:   

Anyhoo, I'm outta here; time to schedule this post for tomorrow morning and go get some Clip Studio Paint sketching in.  Hope this was enough damsel-y content for ya!
