This was shaping up to be the worst day ever, and it was only my second day on the job. First, I’d lost a contact and had to break out my clunky emergency glasses, then the CEO’s assistant called in sick before the biggest stockholder meeting of the year. Of course, they’d called me in to assist,...
Drake. He slid a silk robe over my shoulders, and led me from his dungeon, through the study, and up yet another flight of stairs to the top level of the mansion—the floor I’d never set foot on, afraid I’d be tresspassing. He led me down a hallway with no other doors until we reached the end. The...
Get in here this instant!” A shiver of anticipation raced down my spine and I allowed myself time for a smile before jumping up from my desk. This was the second time Mr. Drake called me into his office today, and from his tone, he sounded like he was about to lose it. Just as I’d planned. I ease...
Not since I confronted him with that gold ring he kept hidden away. Not since he’d refused to answer whether or not he was married. Not since I’d cried myself to sleep, cursing him into my pillow, instead of being held in his arms like I’d wanted. Not since he’d broken my ...
I’d nabbed one of Gavin’s old t-shirts from the closet and snuggled into it, savoring his smell, still lingering in the worn cotton. My hand traveled between my legs as I replayed what happened in the kitchen again and again, feeling his lips on mine, his rough hands ripping the buttons on my blo...
I glanced down at the diamond choker, sparkling even in the dim light of Mr. Drake’s dungeon, perfectly juxtaposed with the black, leather collar sitting next to it on a velvet cushion. How could I accept such a gift? And could I give myself to him when he might ditch me for a newer model at any ...
The last thing I needed was the whole crew to know I slept with him, especially since we were all stuck together on his yacht for God knows how long. But even as I chatted with Thomas about what kind of equipment he used on his shoots, my mind kept drifting back to the bed...
One of those moments that is so surreal, so unlike anything in your ordinary life that you’re positive it’s a fantasy? But then you pinch yourself. The pain grounds you, and you realize it’s really happening. Your life is changing forever. This is exactly how I felt as Mr. Drake led me into his s...
Mist was all around, spinning in wisps as she moved, her legs flying, arms wide, hair loose and whipping in the night air. This was the wild time, the dark time. The time when magic filled the air and anything was possible. Candles flickered all around her and the whisperi...
My heartbeat hammered in my ears, my blood rushing until I couldn’t hear anything else. My stomach churned, and suddenly, I wondered if I might be sick. As if on their own, my legs carried me away from the scene before me, pounding out through the dark the way I’d come, away from the gut-wrenchin...
Coffee splashed everywhere, making me shriek as the liquid hit my white blouse and began running down my cleavage and into my bra. “Shit,” I said under my breath. “Shit, shit, shit.” This was my first time helping out with a photo shoot, and I was already making a mess of things. I grabbed a hand...
