Mastered 2 Box Set Author Spotlight Day 1: Mastering the Mistress by Evangeline Anderson

It’s time for the Mastered 2 box set to take you out of this world with Evangeline Anderson��s sexy sci-fi novella. A wealthy mistress gets more than she bargained for, and the slave she sought to turn submissive knows a little more about the art of dominance than she expected. Prepare to catch your breath in Mastering the Mistress!

He may be a slave, but that won’t stop him from being the Master. “Mastering the Mistress” by @EvangelineA #Mastered2 http://amzn.to/1EyxSHj

A muscular slave turns the tables on his unsuspecting mistress and teaches her an erotic lesson in submission.

Set in the Kindred universe, this novella tells the story of what happened to Solar, Thrace��s best friend and first mate who was also captured and sold as a slave.

Captured and sold to the highest bidder at the Flesh Bazaar, Solar finds himself the property of a lush little female named Kaylee. But his new mistress doesn��t know one end of a whip from the other and she��s about to find out she bit off more than she can chew in trying to master the huge, muscular Solar. Now it��s time to turn the tables on her and teach her a lesson she��ll never forget��which Solar is more than willing to do. Soon enough he has her tied to her own pleasure post and he��s busy Mastering the Mistress��

Lyra reached around him and pushed the up indicator. Apparently the ��dungeon�� they were taking him to was on the top floor. As Solar stepped inside the mirrored walls of the elevator, he caught a glimpse of himself in the glass. He was a sorry sight indeed, arms bound behind his back, the spiked pain collar choking his throat, and the tight black leather trousers constricting his shaft.

Behind him, he could see the small, steely eyes of Lyra, still holding the remote on him like a gun. Behind her, Kaylee entered the elevator last. She was nibbling her lush lower lip and there was a look of uncertainty on her pretty face. Solar stared at her and she looked up, meeting his gaze in the mirror. Their gazes locked and for a long, breathless moment they looked into each other��s eyes.

She��s beautiful, Solar admitted to himself reluctantly. In fact, under different circumstances, he might have asked to buy her a drink. Unfortunately, they weren��t exactly standing side by side at the friendly neighborhood space port bar. He was currently her property��bound and collared and subject to her every whim. It kind of put a damper on a male��s mood.

Which didn��t explain why his shaft was stirring in his trousers. Suddenly he remembered the sight of her plump little pussy, just inches from his face and the warm, feminine scent which had teased his nose when his head had gotten trapped under her ridiculously short skirt. He wouldn��t mind playing sexual games with this little female��not a bit. If games were all they were. But being tied up and sold as a slave was no game or joke. And Kaylee wasn��t the only one he had to worry about. There was also Lyra to contend with.

He continued to stare into Kaylee��s eyes in the mirror. Her lips were slightly parted and her cheeks were flushed. Solar expected her to drop her gaze and end the intense staring contest at any moment but she seemed frozen��an animal caught in the headlights of an oncoming craft.

He narrowed his own eyes and licked his lips slowly��the implication was clear. I��m going to eat you up, little female. The minute I get free of these damn collar and cuffs you��re in trouble!

He wanted to discomfort her and put her off her guard and it worked. Kaylee��s eyes widened and she took a step back, her rounded posterior bumping against the mirrored wall of the elevator just as it emitted a soft chime and came to a halt.

* * * * * * * *

Kaylee wished her new slave wouldn��t keep staring at her that way. And was he actually growling? She couldn��t help remembering the way their eyes had locked in the elevator and the implied threat in his green and gold gaze. Goddess, the way he looked at her was so intense. It seemed to promise she would get back everything she and Lyra were dishing out with interest if only he could get free. The thought made Kaylee shudder and not just because she dreaded his intended retribution.

For some reason the way her new slave stared at her reminded her of the stash of illicit porn vids she��d found in the back of one of Aunt J��s closets. Vids of males dominating females instead of the other way around, the way nature intended. There were even some of males penetrating females with their shafts��an unheard of taboo. It made her wonder if Aunt J had been some kind of a sexual pervert. Or maybe she was just willing to try anything at least once.

That seemed more in keeping with her dare-devil character.

Though she was shocked and dismayed by the illicit images, Kaylee hadn��t been able to stop watching them. They made her think of stories she��d heard of the Kindred��the race of males who were genetic traders and traveled the universe in search of females to bond with. Of course, her new slave was a Havoc, not a Kindred but still�� The disturbing scenes gave her a strange, throbbing, tingling feeling between her legs which she had never felt when viewing other, more standard pornographic material with females dominating males��

Her new slave��s deep growl was becoming more menacing. It jerked her out of her illicit memories and made her blush when she realized he was giving her that intense stare again.

Stop it��stop thinking about it when you��re so close to him, she told herself as she fastened the cuffs around his wrists with trembling fingers. What if Havoc males can read thoughts somehow? She��d heard it said that their genetic cousins, the Kindred, formed a telepathic bond with the females they mated. Could it be that the Havoc had a similar talent? Kaylee didn��t want to find out.

Who can raise the stakes higher than the #Billionaire? “Played by the Master” by @OpalCarew #Mastered2 http://amzn.to/1EyxSHj #BDSM #99cents

Jacqueline crashes a billionaire��s exclusive poker game in order to seduce him into granting a favor to save her sister, but instead finds herself Played By the Master.

Jacqueline Bell desperately wants to help her sister out of a jam. But to do that, she has to find a way to talk to billionaire entrepreneur Race Danner, and have him drop the charges against her brother-in-law. She discovers he holds an exclusive poker game once a week and finds a way in.

Race Danner is bored with his life, despite his wealth and extreme hobbies. He doesn’t know exactly what he’s looking for, but he’ll know it when he sees it.

When Jacqueline Bell walks into his life, he knows she’s it. She wants something from him. And he wants her. A combination made in heaven. In a delicious game of cat and mouse, he will leverage his advantage to lure her into his game. And he fully intends to win.

The all-new Mastered 2 Box Set is available now for the special price of $0.99!

Jacqueline adjusted the straps on her snug black dress, ensuring they hiked up her ample bosom, then stared at herself critically in the large mirror in the elegant hotel lobby ladies�� room.

She was here on a mission and she��d pulled out all the stops. Low cut black dress that hugged every curve of her body. Shockingly high stilettos that made her legs look even longer than they were, and accentuated her rounded butt. She turned in the mirror and glanced at her backside. Her cheeks flushed at the sight of herself in the short, tight black dress, all her assets blatantly on display, but it was important she succeed and she needed to use everything she had going for her. She had even pulled her long, chestnut hair up and clipped it neatly behind her head to stop it from obscuring her cleavage.

She turned back to face the mirror, her gaze dropping to the sparkly diamond star pendant grazing the tops of her pushed-up-thrust-forward breasts. (Her brother had given it to her and it was a constant reminder of how he��d always taken care of her, and believed in her. He��d told her she��d be a star in whatever she did.)

Three women entered the washroom, chatting. Jacqueline reapplied her deep red lipstick, then dropped the tube in her evening bag and walked back into the lobby.

The hotel was lavishly elegant. Crystal chandeliers glittered from the ceiling as she walked along the marble floor, her heels clacking on the surface. She walked to the concierge desk and opened her small, sequined bag and pulled out a black and red poker chip with the Danner insignia on it.

He glanced at it and nodded.

��Go to room 2403.��

She smiled as she turned and walked to the elevator. Room 2403 was where she would find Mr. Danner. Billionaire owner of Danner Industries. She had to see him and convince him to help her sister.

She��d tried calling his secretary to arrange to see him in his office so she could plead her case, but he was harder to get an appointment with than the president of the United States. So she��d talked to a friend of hers, who knew that Danner ran a high-stakes poker game once a month. No one knew where it was until the day, and it was extremely exclusive. Danner didn��t worry about the details of deciding who could play. He had staff to check out potentials, but Jacqueline��s friend had an in and had obtained one of the poker chips that would allow her in the door.

Every player had to go with at least two hundred thousand dollars they were prepared to lose, which she didn��t have. But she didn��t intend to lose. She smiled as she walked onto the elevator and pushed the button.

Because she intended to cheat.

Race Danner stared out the window of the luxury hotel room over the lights of the city reflected in the lake below as he poured himself a drink. The other players were continuing the game behind him, but he��d stopped to take a break. He sipped the seventy-five year old scotch and sighed.

Even these poker games, that he��d arranged to break up the boredom he��d been suffering from over the past year, had stopped giving him the excitement he was seeking.

Travel, women, extreme sports. None of it gave him exactly what he was looking for.

He turned back to the game, watching the intensity in the eyes of the card players at the table.

The problem was, he didn��t know exactly what he was looking for.

But he had a feeling he��d know when he saw it.

A knock sounded at the door and Renaldo, one of the hotel serving staff overseeing the game, answered it. Race heard a young woman��s voice, then the Renaldo opened the door and she walked inside.

His breath held as he stared at her.

The little black dress��and he did mean little��and the fuck-me shoes she wore showcased her stunning body, but he could tell she wasn��t used to wearing such a revealing outfit. She carried herself with confidence, but he could read people and could sense a hesitation in her. She glanced around, as if wondering if anyone was gazing at her, but not in a look-at-me way.

Her hair was swept up and held in place by a glittery butterfly clip, which meant it was long.

He liked long hair. He smiled to himself, deciding that before the night was over, he��d see her hair hanging loose and free. And he��d ensure he soon get the chance to coil her tresses around his hand and hold tight.

Renaldo was talking to her, and Race knew the man would hustle her out, since she was not one of the people on the invitation list for tonight.

Race would not let her slip through his fingers, however. He walked toward them.

��Problem, Renaldo?�� Race asked.

Bad Boys of Eden Box Set Day 6: Ivy in Bloom by Tawny Stokes

Welcome back readers, hope you had yourselves a wonderful weekend getaway to Eden! Today we stowaway to to the island of sensual fantasy with Tawny Stokes�� Ivy in Bloom��

An island escape turns sinful in ��Ivy in Bloom�� by @TawnyStokes, part of the Bad Boys of Eden box set! http://amzn.to/1DFmNoP #badboy_box

An island getaway turns into a lesson in passion and surrender…

After getting out of a bad relationship and dropping out of university, Ivy Watts decides she needs some much needed stress therapy so she tags along with her parents to a luxury island resort called Eden.�� She expects to laze around on the beach with a drink in her hand and figure out what she wants to do with the rest of her life, but what she doesn��t expect is to learn a few life lessons from the tall, dark handsome man in the penthouse suite.

The Bad Boys of Eden Box Set is available now for the special price of $0.99!

The last thing I expected as I walked across the Glendale campus to my economics class ��with a Venti Moccachino in my hand was to be completely humiliated and embarrassed in front of a bunch of strangers. But that was exactly what happened at 10:24 that morning.

It was a gorgeous day and I loathed spending it indoors, but in California almost every day was gorgeous, so it wasn��t like I was never going to have another day like this to spend working on my tan. ��I walked quickly across the center quad because as usual I was going to be late for class. It was quite possible that I had set a college record for the amount of tardies in the first year. In high school I had gotten that honor.

I was just about to open the door to the west hall, when I heard my name.

I turned to see Derek, my boyfriend of the past three months, strutting up to me. And the boy did strut much like a peacock. The cock of the walk. At six foot two he pulled it off tremendously. I put up with it because he was extremely cute. He even had dimples in his cheeks when he grinned.

His two douchey friends, Brett and Rico, stood off to the side to wait for him. Neither of them liked me much because I didn��t put up with their immature bullshit. I had questioned Derek

many times on why he was friends with them. ��He never really gave me a definitive answer. Just mumblings about having been friends since high school.

I still had friends from high school, Violet and Dahlia, but they were awesome. Although I hadn��t seen either one of them in a few months. Dahlia was across the country at a design school and Violet was still trying to get her life back together after some horrible shit happened to her. We texted and talked on the phone though.

��Hey baby.�� I wrapped a hand around his neck and pulled him down for a kiss. I missed him as we hadn��t hooked up the night before like we usually did. He said he had some test to study for. Which I thought weird since I had never seen him study for anything since I��d known him. He was in his second year of aviation, and all I��d ever seen him do is fly more beer and weed into his mouth.

I pulled back and looked him over. He tasted like coffee and the one cigarette he allowed himself every morning in an effort to kick the habit and, surprisingly, cherry lip gloss. My stomach lurched. I didn��t wear cherry flavored anything.

��Did you study for your test?�� I asked, although by the way he was looking at me, I didn��t think he wanted to talk about studying or school.

He took my hand. ��We need to talk.��

��Look, you are really pretty and stuff, but��

��Are you breaking up with me?��

He looked down at his feet.

��You��re screwing someone else, aren��t you?��

��What��s it like then? Huh?�� I pulled my hand out of his.

Others who mingled around in the quad started to look our way. It was highly possible my voice was a few octaves higher and louder than normal.

��I��m sorry, but it��s just not working for me anymore.��

��What��s not working? The sex we have all the time? The blowjobs you beg me to give you? The time I tied you up and spanked you? Huh? What?��

There were some giggles from the other people in the quad.

��What way? Mad? ��Because you stuck your dick in someone else BEFORE you broke up with me. Why on earth would I be mad about that?��

He shook his head and ran a hand through his mop of dark hair. ��This is exactly why this ain��t working.��

I raised my eyebrow and tilted my head to say ��Go on motherfucker tell me what��s wrong with me. I know you want to.��

��You��re so damn controlling all the time. And bossy. And I can��t do anything without asking for permission.��

��You wanted permission to fuck some other chick?��

��No!�� He threw up his hands. ��Jesus, you��re so damn irritating.��

��Well whatever.�� He took a few steps away. ��We��re done. Your shit is in a box on my porch. Collect it today or it��s going in the garbage.�� He walked back to his friends, who were

��I��m surprised you had the stones to even do this in person.��

��I told him to just text you,�� Rico said. ��Since I thought that��s all you��re worth.��

I flipped him the middle finger. ��Fuck you Rico. Good thing I didn��t tell him about all the secret texts you were sending me trying to hook up behind his back.��

Derek gave Rico a sidelong look as they walked away. I knew it wouldn��t amount to much. In his mind, it would be my fault about Rico. That I had somehow encouraged him just by being a girl.

I turned around so I didn��t have to watch him walk away from me. The tears were welling in my eyes, but I really didn��t want to let them go here in public with ten strangers watching with avid interest.

I adjusted my purse strap on my shoulder, then instead of going into the school I started back the way I��d came. ��There was no point in going to class today. I wouldn��t have been able to concentrate anyway. So I figured a good long cry and forty minutes on the elliptical was in order. ��

I liked to sweat when I was upset. I was a size 2 because I got upset a lot. ��Some girls would be jealous of me because of my figure, but they had no clue how much I suffered emotionally for it.

Dahlia and Ivy didn��t really know either. ��I had always put on a carefree fa��ade, especially when it came to guys, but deep down I had battle scars all over my heart and soul.

I always picked the wrong ones. Guys who only wanted to know my outsides and not my insides. Any time I ever even hinted that I might be more than my C cup and pouty pink lips, guys got spooked and looked for a way to break up with me. And that way usually involved another girl. It was so typical.

When I returned to my apartment near campus I immediately went into my bedroom. I grabbed an old plastic bag I sometimes used for garbage and opened my closet door. I tore an old chambray shirt from a hanger and shoved it into the bag. It was one of Derek��s. I slept in it sometimes because it had smelled like him, a combination of CK One and man.

Turning, I snatched up the stick of deodorant on my dresser and the spearmint chapstick beside it and tossed both in the bag. Then I made my way to the bathroom and tossed in the razor I had bought him and the toothbrush. I was about to leave when I stopped and faced the toilet.

Angry tears were rolling down my cheeks now. I didn��t want to shed them over him but sometimes a girl just has to have some release. And some pay back.

I reached into the bag and took out the toothbrush. I opened the toilet lid and peered into the bowl. The water wasn��t dirty, I used an automatic cleaner inside the tank, but I hadn��t scrubbed the inside of the bowl in a week or so. Until now.

I crouched and vigorously rubbed the bristles of the toothbrush inside the bowl. I dipped it in the water and scrubbed the stained porcelain. It was stained when I moved in, but still it made me feel better to do it. I scrubbed and scrubbed until my arm was sore and the tears on my

cheeks had dried. Satisfied, I straightened then tossed the dirty wet toothbrush into the bag.

In the living room I set the plastic bag on the table and plopped down onto the sofa. I felt a little better. Ruining his toothbrush gave me some joy. It kept the tears at bay for now and ��sometimes that was all a girl could hope for in a situation like this.

I took out my phone and texted my friends, Dahlia and Violet.

Me: So, another one bites the dust

I waited a few minutes. I knew Dahlia might be in class but Violet usually answered right

Violet: Why did you break up with this one?

Violet: Oh crap babe, I��m sorry. What happened?

Me: Dumped me for some other chick

Me: Says I��m a control freak. Can u believe that?

I didn��t text her back. I couldn��t believe she was agreeing with Derek. I mean, she was

supposed to be my best friend. Best friends had each other��s back no matter what. I didn��t judge her when she hooked up with weirdo Devon. ��Well, I guess maybe I did say a few hurtful things about him even after I��d realized she really did like him and it wasn��t just a brief dive into the dark side.

Violet: Sorry hun. I wish you were here so I could hug you

Violet: If you want to talk, call me. I��m here

I did want to talk but in person. I hated that I was here, and Violet was there, and Dahlia was all the way across the country. I needed my girls. Especially now.

I set my phone down beside me and looked around at my apartment. It was a decent place. Bigger than what the majority of the students lived in. My parents paid for it, as well as the bills. I was lucky that my parents were wealthy and could afford to pay for my education.

This was one of the reasons I had agreed to go to Glendale. ��My dad especially wanted me to get a college degree. ��He didn��t care what it was in, as long as I got it. ��I had tried to argue with him about it, insisting that it would be a huge waste of money, but he was stubborn and was used to getting his way.

But I was stubborn too. And now seemed like the perfect time to prove it.

I got up and went into my bedroom. I grabbed the suitcase from under the bed, opened it and started to pack up my clothes. I was going home.

Bad Boys of Eden Box Set Day 5: Second Glances by Elena Aitken

Happy Saturday Edenettes! You��ve surely found love Eden by this point, but there may be some hiding where you least expect. Sometimes you have to look back to move forward, and maybe that Bad Boy in your past has changed and he��s not know you think he is. Maybe he never was? Look back with Elena Aitken��s ��Second Glances��!

There��s always time for second chances in @elenaaitken��s ��Second Glances��, part of the Bad Boys of Eden! http://amzn.to/1DFmNoP #badboy_box

When Kylie Wilson receives a mysterious invitation for an all expenses paid trip to a tropical, all inclusive resort, there��s no doubt in her mind who it came from��Marcus Stone, the only man she��s ever really loved. The same man who��d promised her forever and then promptly left town to pursue his dream without so much as a backward glance. Kylie owes it to herself to take a chance, and despite her conflicted feelings, she decides to risk her heart again and is soon jetting toward the island of Eden and the man she hopes will finally fill the void in her life. But when she arrives, all is not as she expected it to be. More to the point, he is not who she expected him to be. And on an island that is supposed to ��know exactly what you need��, can Kylie open her body, mind, and more importantly��her heart to someone and something, she��s never considered?

The Bad Boys of Eden Box Set is available now for the special price of $0.99!

They were twenty-two when he��d seen her for the first time. Marcus had convinced him to move to Cedar Springs to be closer to the ski hill, Bear Mountain, and it was their first day on the slopes. They��d taken a break from the fresh powder to have lunch, and like always, Malcolm had made the run to the cafeteria for burgers while Marcus checked things out in the lodge. More specifically, checked out the women. By the time he��d returned with lunch, Marcus was holding court at a table with some of the beautiful local women. But none as beautiful as Kylie. But it wasn��t until she opened her mouth in retaliation to Marcus��s claim that snowboarders were better than skiers that Malcolm fell for the brunette.

Not only was she cute, but she was feisty and she wasn��t going to take any flak from anyone. Her sweet voice had rung out across the busy lodge with just enough sass to challenge Marcus to a race. Of course, being the cocky SOB he always had been, he��d taken her up on it and whether it was a home hill advantage, or his brother making a play, Malcolm still didn��t know, but Kylie had won the race that day, but it had been Marcus who��d really won. Because after that, the two of them had been inseparable. Malcolm had always wondered how it would have turned out if he��d been the one to talk to her first that day.

But none of that mattered now. As Malcolm strode across the sand with a confidence he��d never possessed back then, he pushed all the old thoughts and feelings out of his head and focused on the only thing that mattered. Kylie. She looked so beautiful, as he knew she would in the dress he��d picked out just for this moment.

He stopped, inches in front of her, reached his hand out and trailed the back of his fingers down her cheek in an intimate and deeply personal gesture.

She trembled under his touch but didn��t pull away.

��I��m glad you came.��

It was then he saw the understanding in her eyes.

��Malcolm?��

��Kylie. You look stunning. It��s been��

��You?�� She stepped back and put distance between them, and instinctively, Malcolm clasped his hand around her wrist and pulled her back.

��No, Malcolm.�� She shook her head. ��This��us��no.��

��Yes.��

��I don��t understand. I thought��

��I know what you thought.�� Of course he��d hoped that she wouldn��t be expecting Marcus. He��d hoped that she��d finally moved past him. Lord knows he��d moved past her moments after he��d left her. Maybe even before. Malcolm pulled her close and moved his hand so it held hers loosely, but not so loose that she could pull away. Now that he had her there, he would not let her go so easily.

��I know this is a lot to take in.�� He led her toward the table that had been set for two farther up the beach. ��And you��ve had a long trip, so before you say anything, come sit and have dinner with me. The chef prepared his specialty, grilled lobster. You��ll love it.��

Malcolm pulled her seat out for her and wordlessly, Kylie sat. He took his seat across from her and a white suited waiter appeared from the late day shadows to pour them each a glass of pinot grigio and light the candle on the table between them before he disappeared again.

Kylie lifted her glass to her lips and took a deep sip before Malcolm could even make a toast, but there would be time for toasting later. He needed her to relax, and let her mind catch up with what were no doubt a million thoughts racing through her head. Finally, she put down her glass, straightened her skirt and focused those piercing blue eyes on him.

��So,�� she said slowly. ��You did this. All of this.��

He nodded.

��Why the secrecy? The cryptic notes?�� Her eyes blazed. She��d never been one for surprises. ��Why all this?��

��For you.��

��But, I thought it was from��

��Don��t.�� He held up a hand. ��You��ve always wanted this, Kylie. You��ve always wanted a tropical vacation, your own island with beautiful beaches and warm water to swim in. Now you have it. It��s as close to a private island as you��re going to get. But all this,�� he waved his arm to encompass the pink and orange streaked sunset, ��it comes with one caveat.�� He waited a moment, took a sip of wine and set the glass down again before he continued. ��You don��t mention him.��

Kylie drew in a sharp intake of breath.

��I mean it, Kylie. I can��t stop you from thinking about him. Lord knows I��ve tried. But there can be no mention of his name. Not if you want this to continue.��

��Malcolm, I��

��One week, Kylie. Can you do it for one week to have the vacation of your dreams? He��s my brother, and I love him, but he doesn��t deserve your time and energy. Not this week.��

She blinked hard, and he knew she mulled his words over in her head. He crossed one leg over the other and waited. She��d agree to his terms; he knew it.

But it wouldn��t be an easy decision for her to make.

Quicker than he expected, Kylie leaned forward and locked her eyes on his.��

��Fine.��

��Fine?��

��I won��t mention him. Not once. But I still don��t understand.��

His face split into a smile. ��You will.�� He tipped his glass in a toast. ��You will.��

Bathed in the filtered red light of our section, Christophe��s eyes are black. Not blue. Coal black. Wanton. Seductive. Those sin filled eyes sweep my nearly naked body, penetrating and smug. ��I��ll give you a choice, and it��s the last one you��ll have tonight.��

��What?�� I ask, shoulders back, arms crossed.

��You can take those panties off here or at the club.��

��What club?��

He points, to the far wall. There��s a sign on a door I hadn��t noticed that reads, Club Sin, all done in red neon with devil horns on the C and N. ��I��ve booked a room.��

��At the BDSM club?��

He touches my cheek, in that way I��m becoming much too accustomed to, and says quietly,

��You wanted to know what I was like before. Tonight is your chance to meet the old me.�� His expression turns serious. ��Are you sure that��s what you want?��

I nod, but not all the way. I think it��s what I want, but how can I know for sure until I meet him.

��Good.��

In a flash, his whole persona changes. His face becomes grim, his eyes darken and his chest expands. ��Then we will fuck the way I like it. Do you understand?��

He��s always given off a dominant air, but right now? My God, it��s like a switch flicked and

Christophe is a completely different man. He��s the arrogant playboy I pictured him to be when I first met him in Monte Carlo. He��s the entitled billionaire who gets everything he wants. Yes, we��re playing a game but he��s so damn good, it doesn��t feel like play.

This isn��t what I had planned. I was going to seduce him, not submit to him.

So that��s what I tell him. ��I��m not going to submit to you, if that��s what you think.��

��Yes, you are.�� He steps closer, forcing me to look up at him.

I shake my head even though my body is already willing and ready to do whatever this man suggests. ��I��ll give you what you want, only when I want it.�� I insist.

He does the same thing he did in Monte Carlo, fitting his trousered leg between mine, but this time he moves it, grinding up between my thighs, which feels fucking marvelous by the way.

Taking hold of my wrists, he pulls my arms from my breasts. ��I know what you want better than you do.��

��No you don��t.��

��I do.�� He pulls me closer. ��Your pupils are dilated.�� He fingers my wrist. ��Your pulse is erratic and there��s heat emanating off your skin.�� He leans close to my face. ��Your breath is coming fast, like you find it hard to breathe.�� He leans down as if to kiss me but he doesn��t. He drops his head lower and inhales deeply. ��And, I can smell your pussy.�� Standing straight, he looks down at me, his words clipped and calculated. ��You��re wet for me. Your clit is throbbing.

You��re hoping I��ll slide my hand up your thigh and brush my fingers against you.��

I jerk out of his grasp. ��That��s not true.�� I lie because his all-knowing commentary is maddening not only because of his superior tone but because of how accurate it is.

He very lightly trails a finger down my arm. I don��t know how something so gentle can light such a blazing fire beneath my skin.

��This is what you want, Tessa. You like being dominated. You��re so in control of your life.

You long to give it up. Even if only for a short time.��

Who is this Christophe? I can��t decide if I like him or not. Right now, I��m thinking not so much��or maybe too much.

��You want to be dominated by me and you��re going to let me because I know exactly what you need.�� His hand moves to my lower back.

��You barely know me.�� Are we playing a game or is this real? I can��t tell anymore.

��I know you much better than you think.��

It��s the game. Surely. He��s just really good at playing the part of the dominant male. Well, maybe he��s come across plenty of women who were willing to please him in the past. That��s not me. I lift my chin. ��I��m not a possession.��

��Good. I don��t need any more possessions.��

I swallow, having no answer to that.

��Now, do as you��re told. Remove your panties here or there.�� He motions toward the door.

��It��s up to you.��

Bad Boys of Eden Box Set Day 4: Delicious and Deadly by C.C MacKenzie

Something wicked this way comes! Eden is a fantastic getaway and even��murderers need a vacation once in a while! C.C. MacKenzie gives us an glimpse of how even the most eccentric of individuals can kick back, relax, and let Eden work its magic for them. It��s�� Delicious and Deadly��.

The title says it all- ��Delicious and Deadly�� by @CCMacKenzie1, part of the Bad Boys of Eden box set! http://amzn.to/1DFmNoP #badboy_box

Emma Ludlow��s temperature is rising and it��s not because of the sweltering Florida sun. Her lucrative business is bloodshed and slaughter. All she wants is peace and quiet in Eden to plot her latest murder. However, a much-adored celebrity chef is in Eden, too. The man is insufferable with an overblown ego she��s dying to kill. His slow smile may be ��Delicious��, but she won��t taste it, not again. Being famous and wealthy isn��t everything it��s cracked up to be. Oscar Zamani learned that life lesson the hard way when he let the seductively mysterious Emma slip through his fingers. Now an Invitation To Eden has given him another chance to show her that this time he can be trusted. But little does Oscar know that Emma has a dark secret. A secret that might be ��Deadly�� to his heart.

The Bad Boys of Eden Box Set is available now for the special price of $0.99!

The head chef stood in the castle of Eden��s state-of-the-art kitchen, long legs spread, muscled arms folded, a stony stare pinning Mika to the spot.

It was eight-thirty in the evening and the young waiter felt as if he was about to pass out.

A trickle of cold sweat slid down Mika��s back.

His heartbeat hammered too fast against his ribs.

On the whole being part of the service crew and working for Oscar Zamani was a pretty good gig. Chef might be one big scary bastard with hands the size of a dinner plate, but he was a cool guy, usually. Chef was also passionate about food reaching dining tables and rooms piping hot. Customer satisfaction was key. So how the hell was Mika going to explain the return of not just one, but two trays, untouched, from a suite in the tower?

“Just to be clear, Mika. You are telling me that the trays were simply left in the hallway?” Oscar wanted to know, his deep voice no more than a growl. His inflection was pregnant with disbelief, as if Mika had left a newborn unattended among a pride of lions. The tone had Mika’s knees knocking.

“Chef, the… the note on the door said, ‘Please knock. Leave the tray in the hall.’ So I did. Twice.”

“Note?” Mika jumped as Oscar barked the word, held out his hand.

Thanking sweet baby Jesus that he’d had the bright idea to bring the note with him as proof, Mika dug his hand into his vest pocket. Placed the folded piece of paper onto Oscar’s huge palm.

Eyes never leaving Mika’s, Oscar opened the paper, flicked his eyes down to read.

Silence.

With great care he folded the note and tucked it nice and safe in the top pocket of his crisp white chef jacket.

Dark eyes rose and pinned Mika to the spot.

“Name?” Oscar asked in a soft voice.

Because his black bow tie felt too tight, Mika cleared his throat.

“E.J. Byron.”

Oscar frowned.

The name rang a very distant bell.

“Man, woman?”

“No idea, sir. Never seen him.”

Oscar turned to survey the staff manning a kitchen gone too quiet, all that could be heard was the steady drip, drip, drip of a tap.

He raised his brows in silent query.

Everyone shook their head.

Oscar moved over to a tray, lifted a heavy lid of solid silver. He’s never… never had an untouched plate returned to his kitchen. With a righteous fury burning his gut, he surveyed the congealed mess on a delicate plate of white china. His teeth ran over his top lip at the thought of how much planning and effort had gone into making sure the rack of melt-in-the-mouth lamb had been seared to a light pink… perfection. How the broccoli spears had been steamed to al dente… perfection. How the delicate reduction, using the finest claret from Eden’s vast cellars and black currants flown in at great expense from the mainland, had excited the palate… perfection. The bowl of now limp green salad seriously annoyed him, too. But it was the mini baked Alaska, meringue made with handmade marshmallow scented with distilled rose water, that lay in a gooey mess of melted double cream ice-cream, which pressed his hot button.

Under the wide-eyes of a staff holding their collective breath, Oscar untied his pristine white apron, folded it carefully, placed it on an immaculate stainless steel worktop.

He removed his chef’s hat.

Placed it on top of the apron.

Turning on his heel, Oscar marched out.

“Omigod,” Mika whispered.

The sous chef crossed himself.

***

A distant drumbeat boomed out, like thunder, and then echoed from far, far away.

What the…?

The struggle to open heavy lids made her groan out loud as Emma tried to kick-start her foggy brain. It sounded as if the heavy door to her suite was vibrating in its frame.

Thump.

Emma stood, swaying on her bare feet.

Stumbling just a little, she shoved her hair from her face.

Thump.

A mix of irritation and worry began to simmer in her stomach.

She tripped over a pair of abandoned flip flops and nearly fell flat on her face.

Sheer temper had her kick one out the way as she stalked through the disaster zone that was the sitting room.

She yanked opened the door.

“What the hell?” she yelled.

The clenched fist in her face had her body react, arms lifting in defence, before her brain could compute. The trembling started in her feet, by the time it reached her knees, her legs couldn’t hold her weight. The only warning she got was the roaring in her ears before Oscar was moving into her.

The world went black.

Bad Boys of Eden Box Set Day 3: Escape from Reality by Adrianna Hunter

Happy Thursday, Edenettes! Just past hump day and so close to the weekend, yet so far. Perhaps it��s the best day to escape in a good book, just before you can escape the responsibilities of life and work for real! Adrianna Hunter has just the ticket with her Bad Boys of Eden story, ��Breaking Free��!

Take a hot trip to Eden in “Escape from Reality” by @spicytales, part of the Bad Boys of Eden box set! http://amzn.to/1DFmNoP #badboy_box

When curvy single and struggling romance author Leila Connors ��receives a ��mysterious invitation to spend an all-expense paid week on a tropical island, it simply seems too good to be true.�� Who is responsible ��for sending the invitation?�� Why does the envelope smell of dominant ��male ��possession?�� And most importantly, why her?�� With a string of ��failed relationships and a career on the down-slide, Leila feels she has nothing to lose and agrees to the trip. But when she arrives at her destination, far away ��from everything she knows, she can��t help but wonder if she made a ��mistake. That is until she comes face to face with the incredibly ��handsome Sebastian Phillips, a tortured stranger with dark secrets, and a man ��who will take without asking. With just one touch he awakens a ��desperate need within her. Before too long Leila finds herself caught up in a game of ��irresistible obsession, where truths are exposed, and the dangerously ��blurred line between fantasy and reality threaten to drive her to the ��point of no return.

The Bad Boys of Eden Box Set is available now for the special price of $0.99!

He bent his head, his lips moving along her collarbone, dipping lower, sliding along the edge of her gown for a moment, then kissing the valley between her breasts. His hand rose, cupping one breast, kneading her flesh with firm fingers. Leila gasped with pleasure as he slid his thumb across her nipple. The exquisite sensation as it drew up hard changed her gasp to a low moan. There seemed to be a direct line between his circling thumb and a very specific spot deep between her hips.

She made a small noise as his thumb stopped its erotic circle around her hardened nipple and she heard an answering chuckle, low and deep. His lips moved from her skin, his breath hot through the satin.

Leila cried out as he slowly licked her nipple and she clutched the sheets, not out of tension, but in ecstasy. At the touch of his wet tongue over the satin, the friction of the material against her sensitive skin, she arched against him, her hips rising from the bed.

The wet satin molded to her as he repeatedly licked her nipple, occasionally nuzzling his cheek against her breast. Her body moved on its own, hips undulating from side to side, her back arching against his mouth. When he slowly pulled the wet satin aside and blew across her damp skin, she cried out, her nipple puckering even more, a wash of goose bumps prickling her skin.

He pulled her breast into his mouth, sucking hard, almost greedily. Leila felt his body moving in time with hers, the hip resting against hers pressing against her as she rose.

His hand moved to her other breast, pulling back the gown, fondling her briefly before he moved to suck that breast.

Leila��s body was suffused with a liquid heat, coursing through her, pooling deep inside her. Her fingers found their way back to his hair, winding through the thick strands.

Finally he looked up at her, his eyes meeting hers. He sat up, took her hands, and pulled her upright.

��This comes off.�� His voice was rough with passion and he tugged impatiently on the gown. Leila rose to her knees and he helped her slide the gown over her head. Before she could lie back, he wrapped his arms around her, burying his face between her breasts, turning his head, kissing her softly. He held her and she held his head gently to her body.

After a moment, he let her go and she sat back, hands reaching for his shirt.

He watched her in the dim light as she undid the buttons with trembling fingers. As she reached the last button, her hand brushed across his lap, across the bulge of his erection. Leila hesitated, resting her hand on him, feeling the heat and hardness his jeans concealed. He drew in a sharp breath, grabbing her hand.

��Lie back.�� He stood, removing his shirt, dropping it to the floor as she lay back on the sheets.

His eyes never left hers as he undid the button and zipper on his jeans. Leila tried to hold his gaze, but her eyes slid over his chest, past the flat stomach and taut navel, then lower as he began tugging his jeans over his narrow hips. This was exactly what she��d described in her assignment, every detail��almost every detail. He was perfect.

As his jeans slid lower, the dark line of hair she��d written about appeared, the line that extended below his navel, growing thicker as he lowered his jeans. Leila��s breathing was shallow and fast, practically panting, eyes widening in anticipation. He tugged the jeans a fraction of an inch lower and Leila��s breath stopped. Slowly, he leaned over Leila, rested a hand beside her, and blew out the candle.

For a fraction of an instant, there was silence and then Leila cried out in frustration.

He laughed from somewhere nearby, and she heard the sound of his jeans hitting the floor. The mattress dipped with his weight and she felt the heat of his body a moment before his hand slid across her stomach. He leaned close and she drew in his scent, rich and spicy, deeply masculine.

There was no moonlight, and for an instant Leila cursed the darkness. But the hand on her stomach moved lower and she forgot about what he looked like, only able to focus on where his hand was going.

Fingers slid between her legs as his mouth found hers. He claimed her again with a powerful kiss, and she instinctively wound her arms around his neck, holding him close.

Her legs moved on their own accord, hips rising, thighs falling open at his touch.

And then his touch moved lower, further, feather-light strokes deepening as his kiss deepened, fingers probing deeper as his tongue took possession of her mouth. Her moans were muffled against his lips, his throaty growl against hers.

He shifted his weight, one long leg moving over the top of hers. His hip pressed against her body and she felt his erection, hard and hot, rubbing against her skin. But that wasn��t enough contact. She craved more, much more. Wiggling beneath him, she pulled and guided him until he rested between her legs, his hips pinning her to the mattress.

Lifting his head, he broke their kiss. She felt his breath against her cheek, his open mouth brushing against her neck. He shifted his weight again and she drew her legs up his body, over the hard muscles of his thighs.

He brushed against her, hotter than she could have imagined, and his hips shifted slightly, the muscles of his thighs tensing beneath her legs as he braced himself. Leila moved her legs further up his body, bringing her hips up to meet him, opening herself to him.

There was a long moment where he held himself, poised, just touching her, moving slowly, lightly, teasing her with a hint of what was to come. She bit her lip, aching to feel him inside her, the anticipation almost overwhelming. With one movement, she knew, he��d be there, filling her completely, totally. All she needed to do was wait. Waiting was agony, but a delicious agony nonetheless.

He lifted his head and she wished for light, to see the look on his face, the passion in his eyes, the passion that matched what raced through her own body. His hips flexed as he pulled back slowly, just a little, enough to let her know he was ready. And she was more than ready for him.

Then he was there, thrusting into her, slowly, seemingly forever. Leila let out a long, low moan as he drove himself forward, her hips rolling upward, her body accepting everything he had to give her.

Finally he stopped, exhaling against her neck, holding himself inside her for a moment. Raising his head, he braced his forearms on either side of her, his fingers playing over her face, finally coming to rest in her hair, tangling themselves in the long strands. His breath moved across her forehead, and then his lips pressed against her skin.

Her hands skated over the hot skin of his back, playing over broad shoulders, down the ridge of his spine, lower, to the small of his back, and then up the sharp slope of his buttocks. She dug her fingers into firm flesh and as if spurred on by her touch, she felt the muscles beneath her hands clench, his hips driving forward even further, as impossible as that seemed.

And then he was moving, hard and fast, Leila matching him stroke for stroke, as if all the anticipation and pent up longing had been released. He buried his face in her neck, his breath rasping harshly against her skin.

Leila tipped her head back, sounds she never realized she could make coming from her parted lips as every thrust drove her toward some unimagined plane of pleasure.

Every inch of her body was alive like it had never been before. The core of her, where he lay claim to her, where they were joined, felt like a molten pool.

She lost track of time, focusing only on the movements of their bodies. At some point he slid a hand beneath her ass, fingers digging into her flesh, lifting her, his body flexing and twisting, as if there were some way he could consume more of her, or she more of him.

His sounds had deepened, moans becoming growls, growing louder, more urgent.

Leila��s arms were flung wide now, fingers twisting in the sheets, her body speeding toward what could only be oblivion.

He drew back from her, his chest rising from hers, and her body instantly arched upward, taking on a life of its own as his hips drove into her at a relentless pace.

Something deep and powerful welled up inside her and she writhed beneath him, head thrashing from side to side. The world went soundless for a moment and then she heard herself, from a distance, then louder, clear, cry after cry as her body shuddered and twisted in his grasp. Finally the tremors slowed and she drew a shaky breath.

His arms were still wrapped around her, holding her loosely, and he thrust slowly, but not as deeply. She relaxed in his arms, letting his momentum carry her for a moment.

Gradually his thrusts became shaper, harder, more aggressive, each one accompanied by a deep grunt. Leila drew her legs higher along his body, wrapping them around his waist. Her movements triggered something in him and his arms tightened around her again, his body wrapping around hers.

With a sudden powerful thrust, he sank himself deeply, completely, holding himself still inside her. Every muscle in his body was taut, his arms like iron bands around her.

She held her breath, not wanting to break his concentration, waiting for him, for what she felt certain would be his climax.

Then beneath her hands he began to move, his hips pumping hard and fast into her, each thrust accompanied by a noise so primal it sent a shiver through Leila��s body.

She was unprepared for the intensity of his climax, for the power of his thrusts, the animalistic noises.

Leila was swept up in his passion, in his release, her body responding to his, a fresh cascade of sensations sweeping through her. She found herself answering his cries with her own, her body alive again with ecstasy.

They held each other for a moment, arms and legs relaxing, slowly moving apart.

He rolled onto his back next to her and she curled against him, hand on his chest as his arm encircled her. The soft breeze from the window played across her skin, a delicious counterpoint to the heat that spread across her body.

Leila had never felt so complete. Not just happy, but as if for the first time, something clicked inside, some connection had been made. It went beyond the physical sensations in her body. Granted, he��d saved her life, but it went deeper than that. She��d had sex before, had even had what she��d considered making love, but there had never been this connection with those men, even men she thought she��d been in love with. And yet this man was a stranger.

Leila was content, drifting into sleep, her head on his shoulder. Almost asleep, she roused herself to ask the one question she had of the man beside her.

��You never told me your name.��

He shifted on the bed, his arm pulling her close, lips brushing across her forehead.

��I can��t, Leila. You haven��t given me one yet.��

Bad Boys of Eden Box Set Day 3: Blurring the Lines by Roni Loren

Eden is a magnificent place. Indeed, all your sensual fantasies can come true on these faraway shores, but how is this possible? Certainly some of it is at the hand of the island��s enigmatic Master, but there��s something else to the island. Whether this power its real or not does not matter, so long as it gives you want you want, what you need. Sometimes its best to blur the lines a little, and that��s just what Roni Loren gives in her Bad Boys of Eden story, ��Blurring the Lines��.

The Island knows what you need. “Blurring the Lines” @RoniLoren, part of the Bad Boys of Eden Box Set: http://amzn.to/1DFmNoP #badboy_box

A year has passed since Gretchen lost her fianc��, but she still can��t sleep. Or paint. And her new home in New Orleans is either haunted or she��s finally going crazy.

Her bet is on the latter.

So when her best friend, Burke, offers to sweep her away to a private luxury island for a break, she can��t say no. Maybe if she can be someone else for a few days, the ghosts of the past will quiet. At least for a little while.

Burke knows what she��s going through. She lost her fianc��, but he lost family. He gets her in a way no else can. But lately she��s noticing things she shouldn��t about her former fianc��s younger brother��his sexy smirk, that spicy Cajun accent, and the way he looks at her when he thinks she��s not paying attention. A week alone with him? Dangerous. If she blurs the lines between them, she could ruin the only friendship that means anything to her. She could ruin it all.

But the island of Eden has its own agenda. The island knows what you need. That��s what the invitation says. She just never imagines it will grant her the one wish that could destroy them both.

The Bad Boys of Eden Box Set is available now for the special price of $0.99!

Burke��s gaze lifted to mine, and he set down his fork. ��What are you thinking about, cher? You have a serious look on your face.��

I forced a half smile. ��Nothing really.��

��Don��t give me that. You��re a loud thinker.��

I twirled my noodles around my fork, watching them go round and round. ��You ever wonder if he can see us? You know, like whatever the after may be, if the dead can somehow observe the living?��

He sniffed. ��No. Can��t say I believe in any of that. I think when we��re gone, we��re gone.��

I peered at him, but he wasn��t looking my way anymore. His stubbled jaw was set and he was taking small jabs at his plate of lo mein. ��Okay. Good to know.��

He let out a breath and set his fork down. ��Look, I��m not trying to be a dick.

Everyone��s beliefs and faith are their own business. If believing there��s something after gives you comfort, that��s great. But, for me, I don��t buy it. I think this is the only chance we��ve got��win, lose, or draw. This is it. So you better grab the most you can out of this life.�� He shrugged. ��And honestly, the thought of any of my dead family members watching me gives me the creeps. No, thanks.��

My neck prickled, the sounds of last night haunting me. ��I know what you mean about that part.��

He frowned, his attention on me again. ��Wait. Is that what��s keeping you awake at night? You think Harris is creeping around or something? You think he��s watching now?��

It sounded completely crazy when he said it like that. ��Not exactly.��

His gaze didn��t leave mine. ��You weren��t joking about searching for ghosts, were you?��

I cringed. This was not a conversation I wanted to have with Burke. Or anyone for that matter. ��It��s not that. I just��I don��t know.��

��You don��t know what?�� He shifted his body so he could fully face me. ��Tell me what��s going on.��

I shook my head and poked at my chicken.

��Gretch, don��t do that, don��t ignore me.��

��Fine.�� I nudged my plate away. ��Sometimes I feel like he��s here, okay? I know it��s stupid.��

Burke gaped at me for a long moment and then slid off his stool, his expression morphing into what I��d come to recognize as his game face.

��What are you doing?�� I asked, tracking his progress.

He stepped around the counter and put out a hand to me. ��Stand up.��

I eyed his offered hand. Wary.

��Come on. I can disprove your theory right here.��

I took his hand and stood.

He tilted his face toward the ceiling. ��Bro, if you��re hovering around here somewhere, feel free to kick my ass for this.��

Before I could put together what his words meant, Burke dragged me to him, cupped my face, and lowered his mouth to mine. Lips on lips. Warmth on warmth. Boom! Crash!

The kiss shocked me into a stupor. All I could process was his mouth against mine, hands gripping me, and the sound he made in his chest at the contact. But then he brushed the tip of his tongue along my lips, and all at once, my senses kicked into full, pumping awareness. The scent of the Gain detergent he used, the salty taste of soy, and the forbidden feel of his mouth. My lips parted and invited a deeper kiss without me consciously willing them to do so. His tongue slid gently into my mouth, and I groaned.

My hands found his waist and gripped his T-shirt like I��d fall if I didn��t keep hold of something.

It was so different from the one kiss we��d shared so long ago. That had been two awkward kids figuring things out. This was not that. This was a man who knew how to take a woman down with one sensual sweep of his mouth. This was the Burke I��d heard about. The one who got any woman he wanted. The one who told me those sordid stories.

That was when reality kicked in the door to my lust-filled brain. I was kissing my dead fianc��s brother. I was kissing my best friend. I pushed back with a panted gasp.

��Burke, stop.��

His eyes were heavy-lidded, the look on his face all danger and erotic promise. But he didn��t move forward. Instead, he licked his lips and held out his hands, his smile soft when he spoke again. ��See, cher, nothing. No breaking dishes. No slamming cabinets.

You and I both know my brother well enough to know that he wouldn��t let me do that to you without a fight. If Harris��s ghost is around here, he would��ve done something about it.��

I blinked, still suspended in that stunned state for a few seconds more. Then, not knowing how else to channel everything that was coursing through me, I got pissed. The anger rushed straight up my spine and out to my limbs. I shoved him hard in the chest.

��What the hell is wrong with you?��

He frowned as he rocked back a step, though he didn��t seem fazed by me yelling at him or pushing him. ��I��m sorry, Gretch. But you needed to see that there��s no one watching.��

��You didn��t have to kiss me to show me that!�� My heart was beating too fast, and my voice came out too shrill.

He shrugged. ��You didn��t have to kiss me back.��

I gaped at him, slack jawed, then grabbed a handful of fortune cookies and threw them.

He raised his hands to fend off the attack, laughing. ��Hey, not the cookies. Those could hold the key to our future.�� He caught one of the cellophane-wrapped cookies mid-air. ��And it was just a kiss. It��s not like we��ve never done it before.��

��When we were kids.��

��Yes, you��re much improved.��

��Ugh!�� I stepped forward and shoved him again. ��You need to warn a girl before you maul her.��

He lifted a brow and grabbed my wrist, his eyes holding a wicked gleam. ��Fine, cher.

Next time I��ll warn you.��

��That��s not what I�� I pulled my arm free. ��Never mind.��

Somehow all this arguing was making my blood heat as much as the damn kiss. I needed him to stop touching me and looking at me like he wanted to kiss me again.

Goddamn Burke.

Today we��ll also be looking at Avery Aster’s “Yours Truly, Taddy.”

Crash into the Bad Boys of Eden #eBook box set with “Yours Truly, Taddy” by #NYT #bestseller @AveryAster! http://amzn.to/1aYrUWS #badboy_box

Broke but determined, Taddy accepts a job as a fashion model to pay for her college tuition.

Jetting to Martinique for a modeling assignment with three of Europe��s hottest magazine photographers��Gustave, Fabian, and Leon��should��ve been easy, breezy beautiful. Never did I expect to look up and see a hole in the ceiling of our plane that was bigger in size than my Birkin bag.

Shit! We��re nose-diving toward Eden Island. I pictured how my New York Times obituary might read when I��m gone, ��Taddy Brill, Manhattanite, dethroned descendant of the Austrian House of Brillford royalty, dies at age eighteen, penniless, unloved, and a virgin.�� I swear this crap only happens to me. Suddenly, Leon pulls me with Fabian and Gustave. Adrenaline racing through me, our bodies clung as one. We prepared to��crash.The Undergrad Years is a New Adult contemporary miniseries about first loves, independence, and everlasting friendships.

The Bad Boys of Eden Box Set is available now for the special price of $0.99!

set-up: plane has crashed at sea

My mind raced faster than my body could swim. I tried a few times to zone out and paddle forward. You know, get in that cardio trance where your breasts are jiggling, hair flying, and work the flip out.

Ugh. I counted every second. One, kicking my legs, two, lifting my right arm up, three, stroke, followed by left arm up, stroke.

No matter how hard I swam, my fears worsened. The water overwhelmed me. I could almost make out a thin sliver of land, way ahead of us, but it seemed far. I gotta ask. ��Leon��

He stopped and turned around to face me.

��Will we make Eden before dark?��

��No��

��What are we gonna do?��

��The moonlight can guide us,�� Leon replied in all seriousness. However to me, he sounded almost romantic. I had to put my mind into some state of fantasy. Otherwise I��d go nuts with the reality of what we were doing: swimming for our life. ��Need a break?��

��Please.�� I wasn��t as tired as I thought I��d be. If anything, my fears supercharged me.

He swam over, put his arms around me, and asked, ��Thirsty?��

��Ah-huh, and hungry.�� Let��s not forget horny.

��Me too.�� Leon brushed up me. I could��ve sworn I felt�� Sorry,�� he muttered in a low voice.

��I��m not.��

��What?��

��You��re fine.�� Heck, you��re more than fine. Take me. Right here. Right now. ��

His nose touched mine. Intent and close, we stared at each other as if we each only had one eye. I wrapped my arms, and then my legs, around him. His erection pressed up against me. Lowering my right hand, I glided my thumb against the head of his dick. Ever so slowly, with each trace of my finger over his cock, Leon��s devilish smile widened.

��Your body is tight. If you loosen your limbs, you might kick better.��

Trembling, I slipped a finger into the well of my cunt. I couldn��t help myself, Leon was right, every muscle in my body tensed. Not from the swim, but from being in his arms. He made me nervous and excited. Until meeting Leon this week, I��d never felt these urges as strongly as I did now. I held on to his shoulders, kissing him all over again.

��Maybe this will help you relax.�� His hands, controlled and focused, found mine.

��Leon,�� I whispered under my breath, unsure if we should.

��Let me touch you.�� Kissing me, he pressed his fingers up against my g-spot. He knew exactly where to go. Even in the water, Leon hit it like a switch. Jesus!

Lip-to-lip, I whimpered into his mouth, moaning, calling out to him, ��I want you.�� A tingly sensation overcame the lower part of my body. ��Oh, I��m going to��

��Come for me, Mon ch��re.��He spoke as if in my daydream.

Just a little, right there, in the water, I came. Pulling him into me, I wasn��t going to stop. We didn��t have any condoms and I didn��t care. ��Fuck me. I want you inside of me.�� I needed him. I tightened my legs around his torso.

Forget the fact that we weren��t an item, let alone floating in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, I never thought my first time would be casual.

Regardless of the formalities, being with Leon Lartique, right this very second, sharing my body with him, suddenly felt like the most meaningful thing I��d ever done. The importance of this meant more to me than graduating from Avon Porter, getting into college, or making my own money. This, right here, what we were sharing, was the truest expression of oneself.

My brain had been awake for years, in recent times so had my heart, but not until today had I thought much about my soul, about life and death. Leon touched my soul.

Today could be my last day alive. I refused to go with regrets.

��Mon ch��re, I��ve never��had unsafe sex before.��

��Ha! I��ve never had any kind of sex before. So skin-to-skin will be new for me too.��

The tip of his dick slid inside me. Welcoming him, I took more. My muscles contracted tight around him. ��Ahhh,�� I moaned, watching his face.

He found his groove in the water.

��Am I hurting you?�� He pulled out, almost all the way.

��Amazing��keep going.�� To show my comfort, I fell back, floating in the water.

Weightlessness surrounded us.

In long, slow strokes, he fucked me. The sunset cast shadows across his face. His skin was illuminated with amber hues of paradise. Leon spoke to me in French, caressing my breasts, saying beautiful things to me that sounded lyrical and poetic.

For a minute, I closed my eyes, taking all of this in. Hypnotic! My senses felt intoxicated in a newfound euphoria. My hair floated around me as if petals in the wind.

The water��s level rose up past my ears, over my eyelashes. Hands at my sides, they seemed unattached to the rest of me.

Leon��s grip at my torso tightened. His penetration taught. Hips pulsating faster, he was going to come. So was I. Again.

Inhaling deeply through my nose, he impaled me. Just a small oval of air at the surface circled over my face. It felt cool. The rest of me was submerged into the sea with ecstasy.
