Submission
(Surrender – Book 1 – Reverse
Harem)by Tina Donahue
Blurb:
Three powerful men will ensure her
submission…
Surrender is the lifestyle club where professional
women seek alpha males to dominate and pleasure them. A concept Bree envisioned
from the moment she fled her impoverished past. However, dreams don’t come
easy. To fund her wanton Malibu club, she needs partners.
Enter Lucius,
Tav, and Cody, three wealthy and imposing males who know what they want and
that’s Bree, stripped and submissive to their will. Bad boy Lucius has billions
but what’s money when the right woman isn’t at his side to pleasure him
sexually, while he uses her in the most provocative ways. Laid-back Tav isn’t
so easygoing between the sheets, his dominance irresistible. Cody’s an
adrenaline junkie, enjoying extreme sports in and out of bed.
Hot
and kinky play is on the sexual menu, pulling Bree deeper into a shameless
fantasy that can’t possibly last. Until and unless she’s willing to offer her
heart.
Excerpt:
Lucius
pressed close, his thighs to hers, his hand cupping her neck. “Like this?”
He
captured her mouth, their lips fitted perfectly, his bristly cheeks scraping
hers, tongue plunging inside.
Gawd. She sagged against him, powerless to resist his strength,
scent, and taste. Something minty but also unique, a flavor belonging to him
alone.
She
gripped his lapels, needing them to keep steady and to get closer. The moment
she had, she ground indecently against him.
A breath
couldn’t have slipped between them, her breasts crushed to his chest, not
allowing her to inhale fully.
Who the
hell needed air?
He
deepened his kiss, taking rather than asking, using, enjoying, his roughness a
thrill rather than something to worry about, and precisely the behavior she
required.
Yet she
still desired more.
Once she
pulled the leather tie from his hair, she drove her fingers through his thick,
silky locks.
A lusty grunt
rose from deep within him.
She’d
rarely heard a better sound.
He
tempered his passion, gentling the kiss.
That was
awesome too.
They
enjoyed each other as she’d wanted from the moment they’d met, her feelings for
him building each time he smiled at her or they shared laughter she’d tried to
avoid, their friendship deepening despite her attempts to keep an emotional
distance. During those empty days when she’d denied herself physical contact,
she never would have believed a kiss could be so wondrous.
The
world faded away, sounds retreating, leaving them clinging to each other, savoring
closeness and intimacy.
Wasn’t
enough. If possible, she would have crawled inside his mind, heart, and soul.
Barring such nonsense, she stopped herself from coming on too strong.
He struggled
for breath, the same as her, then pulled his mouth free and gulped air.
Lucky
him. She couldn’t draw in enough to clear her head.
Tav
slipped his arm around her waist and pulled her into him.
Whatever
air she’d taken poured out and mingled with his, his mouth on hers, tongue
slipping inside, his beard rasping her skin.
Her
knees sagged, bumping into him, his fresh, woodsy scent surrounding them,
bringing to mind a forest, reclining on fragrant grass, leaves floating down,
sun winking through countless trees to bathe their naked flesh.
She
wreathed her arms around his shoulders, wanting him as a shelter against doubt
and everything bad.
Holding
her in a firm but gentle embrace, he angled his mouth for greater penetration,
his passion as deep as Lucius’s, yet also carefree. As if necking with her here
was the most natural thing in the world, even though she’d kept her distance
when they’d worked together. Not once sharing a meal unless they bumped into
each other at lunch in the employee break room.
Those
times had prepared her for now, their intimacy exciting yet comfortable and
necessary.
Unable
to resist, she pushed his tongue from her mouth and filled him instead.
Rather
than protest, he allowed her to enjoy his clean flavor and suckled her deep.
She
hadn’t expected anything less from him. Tav took life as it came, greeting
whatever was in his path. For the moment, she was his sole focus and wouldn’t
have wanted it any other way.
He
eased her closer, his strength impressive yet subdued. His effort at containing
it, making him tremble.
She
wanted him as unleashed as Lucius would be.
And
Cody.
He
separated her from Tav.
“Hey,
I wasn’t finished.” Tav shot him a look.
Cody
shrugged. “You are now.” He grasped her wrist.
Surely,
he wasn’t going to kiss it. He’d never seemed the romantic type to her.
And
wasn’t now.
After
he’d trapped her against the wall, he held her wrists above her head and cupped
her breast.
Her
nipples peaked, straining against her suit jacket.
He
thumbed one rigid tip, his lime fragrance and sweet breath stoking her desire.
She
wrapped her leg around his and pressed against him.
His
grin spoke volumes. “Bad girl.”
“You
think?”
“I
know.” He brushed his lips over hers, their softness and heat striking, his
smooth cheeks a balm, his tantalizing foreplay increasing her excitement.
Whoever
thought wild monkey sex was the only way to go for a good time hadn’t
experienced this.
