Excerpt!
I was totally helpless. Vulnerable and exposed. Such a risk carried an inherent thrill. A surge of adrenaline teetering on a thin red line between intoxicating elation and nauseating terror. Trust determined which emotions would prevail.
The swelling pressure throbbing in my clit was ample evidence that I trusted Filip.
“I’ve had a shitty couple of days,” he murmured, dragging the strips of what I guessed were leather over my sensitive skin. “Each night when I try to shrug off the events of the day, I find myself lost in visions of your beautiful skin flush from my touch.”
The leather streaked across my upper thigh in a zinging whoosh. My skin lit with the sharp sting, tightening my inner muscles and making me gasp from the heavenly pulse of endorphins.
He moaned. “Those sounds haunt my dreams.”
Smack. The opposite thigh. Harder. I began to smell my arousal all around me.
“I can’t get enough of the way you respond to my touch. You’ve taken over my every fucking thought—it’s heaven and hell at the same time.”
Smack. Square across my ass.
“I want to punish you for toppling my carefully constructed world and worship your very existence. You make me fucking insane. And you know the worst part?” he asked, breaths becoming shallow and ragged.
I shook my head, my breasts now aching with need.
Smack. At the apex of my thighs, the leather tips grazed the heat of my core.
Filip pressed himself flush against my back, his hand snaking around to cup my sex. “I want it all. Every bit of madness. I’d rather go fucking crazy for you than walk away and never have this again.”
The Lion’s Den club was better than I ever imagined and my worst nightmares, all combined.
I thought I was going to explore my darkest fantasies.
Gain a better understanding of myself and discover what I’d been missing in life.
Instead, I made a deal with the devil.
I had hoped I wouldn’t see anyone I knew at the club.
Coming face-to-face with Filip De Luca was a worst-case scenario.
Filip was effortless power seething beneath a playboy exterior.
A host of sharp edges disguised behind a cavalier grin.
Inescapably alluring and devastatingly dangerous.
He promised he wouldn’t tell my father about seeing me at the club.
I had his blessing to dip my toes into the dark waters of deviancy.
The catch?
Filip would guide me on this journey.
He would control every aspect of my exploration.
Set every boundary and command my obedience to his rules.
I thought I could live with his terms.
Gain the experience I wanted from a partner I could trust.
What a naïve fool I’d been to think our bargain could ever be so simple.
