Blurb:
A pace ahead of the play can send you back to the start. And
put everything you’ve worked for at risk.
Single mother and submissive Rebecca Bower abandoned her career as a sports reporter to become a media consultant with her brother’s hockey team. A failed marriage to a selfish man makes her wary of getting involved with another. Unfortunately, chemistry is hard to deny, and all her hormones are dancing when she gets close to the Cobra’s sniper, Scott Demyan.
Zachary Pearce ‘came out’ to the world last season to shift attention away from a teammate. And his one night with Scott Demyan had been unsettling. There could be more there, if only Scott was a different person. Instead, a night of sensual BDSM play with Becky leaves him wanting more, but she thinks he’s gay and questions his interest. It’s been a long time since a woman has attracted him both as a man and a Dom, and he’ll do everything in his power to prove she’s the only one he needs. Or wants. His one time with Scott was a mistake.
Scott might have forgotten what happened in his childhood, but the effects linger, and he specializes in drunken one-night stands…until he meets Zach and Becky and sees what he’s missing. But neither one believes Scott can be faithful. Although he’s trying hard to clean up his act to avoid getting kicked off the team, they want more from him. He’s willing to make changes, but the most important one—putting their happiness before his own—means he’ll probably end up alone.

Excerpt:
“Good. Then shall we start? Do you understand what I
expect from you?”
“Don’t move. Don’t speak unless for clarity or to
safeword.”
“Excellent.” He gave her a slanted smile, then slowly
circled the table, his hand moving in an outline of her body without touching
her. “That dress looks lovely on you.”
“Thank you.” She groaned when he clucked his tongue.
“Sorry, Sir.”
“Do you often have difficulty submitting?”
She shook her head.
“Hmm. I see.” He stopped by her side. Drew his finger
up her arm from her inner wrist to her elbow. She twitched. Clenched her fists.
“But you are finding it difficult to obey me?”
“No, Sir.”
“Neither safeword or clarification.” He smoothed his hand
over her cheek. “All the Doms you’ve been with haven’t asked for much, have
they? No don’t answer.” His tone was rough, but not with anger. More . . .
carefully restrained. “I’d love to push you. Challenge you. But not yet. First
you have to prove you can handle this.”
She almost said, ‘I can’, but then remembered she
wasn’t supposed to say anything. The restrictions suddenly felt more imposing
than any gag or restraint. She settled into the sensation, relaxing because
giving him what he’d asked for was really, very simple. No guesswork involved.
The approval in his eyes was like a bright golden star
bursting in the center of her chest. She inhaled deep and held her breath,
waiting to see what he’d do next.
He circled the table again, stopping at her other
side. Hooking his fingers to the thick straps of her dress above her shoulders,
he pulled it down, moving her as he pleased, taking one arm, then the other
until both were free of the dress. Only the neckline covered her breasts as he
placed her arms. Her nipples tightened into sensitive little points as she
waited for him to expose them, but instead he walked to the end of the table
and traced his fingertips down the soles of her feet.
A giggle escaped her, and she squirmed as he did it
again.
“Be still.”
And again. It tickled, but she pressed her eyes shut,
ground her teeth, and fought not to move. His hand curved around her feet and
she bit back a groan as he pressed his thumbs into her soles. He stroked,
massaged, then tickled, alternating until the pleasure edged on torture. Yet,
somehow, she kept still. Sank into a place where all that mattered was his
touch. As it moved up to her calves, she sank even deeper, responding to his
slow, even breaths, to his soft praise. She needed to know she had it in her to
please him. To be everything he needed and wanted by doing nothing but what
came naturally.
“I was right. You are precious.” He kissed her bare
shoulder, then rolled the material of her dress down over her breasts. “This
isn’t just sex for you. It’s so much more.”
“Yes.” She absorbed the satisfaction in his tone like
earth after a drought soaked in rain. She knew she shouldn’t speak, but she had
to make sure he wasn’t just doing this for her. “Am I . . . do I make you
happy?”
“More than I can say.” He lowered his head to her
breasts, resting his forehead between them. He kissed the side of one breast
and she shivered. The sensation was both tender and erotic. Lingering, building
as he kissed his way up to her nipple. “Don’t forget what I’ve asked of you.”
Don’t move.
Pleasure speared her as he sucked her nipple into his
mouth. Her eyes teared as she struggled not to arch up. As she pressed her lips
together.
“No man or woman has pleased me as much as you have.”
He pinched her nipple between his finger and thumb as
he sucked the other.
“I won’t be easy on you, little doe.”
He shifted down her body, drawing the hem of her dress
up over her hips, over her belly, kissing the exposed flesh as he worked his
way down.
“But if you are mine . . . .”
His fingers traced the edge of her panties, along the
sides of her pussy lips, close to where the material had grown damp. He bit
down just above the slight swell of her stomach, rubbing her panties into her
clit.
“I will give
you what no one else can.”
The muscles in her thighs tensed. Pleasures curled up
in her core, sizzling like a live wire in a shallow pool, electricity zipping
across the surface.
“Come for me, little doe. Lose yourself. Give up
control. It belongs to me.”
