Excerpt
Hours pass before the door to my room opens again. Iâm exhausted from the sheer number of orgasms Iâve had on this device thatâs firmly clenched between my legs. I tried to move so many times, but the chain wouldnât allow it. And the longer I stayed in position, the weaker I became.
My legs have turned into a puddle beneath me. Iâm shaking from the intense sexual lust flowing through every fiber of my being and the sheer need consuming me whole.
Easton walks into my room, closing the door behind him, and I can barely lift my head to look at him. Iâm tired ⦠and so fucking aroused I canât think straight. I want this to end. I want to explode into bliss.
Easton stands in the middle of the room, towering over me. He stares at my naked body, his eyes following every bead of sweat that rolls down my forehead. The moment seems to last an eternity.
My lips part, and my tongue moves without regret.
âPlease,â I murmur.
The left side of his lips inches up as he lowers his head. Almost as if heâs waiting for me to continue.
So I do. âFuck me.â
The words that slip from my mouth release the load off my shoulders. Iâve been carrying this guilt and shame for far too long. Itâs done now. My resolve is gone.
I want this more than anything.
My body quakes with yearning. It wishes there was more than this device thrumming against my clit. My body already knew long ago what my mind refused to believe. My soul wants this man. Itâs tethered to him by something more than a debt. My body sings to his tune, and he knows this well.
Itâs showing on his face in his wicked smile and the triumphant glimmer in his eyes.
Heâs won.
I lower my head in defeat as he approaches. Thereâs no point in fighting him. Heâs already claimed my body, so why would I hold onto that last sliver of me? Besides, I donât even want to anymore. Thereâs nothing I crave more than to have him deep inside me, to come one last time, and then fall into an eternal sleep.
Suddenly, the buzzing between my legs stops. Sensations no longer bombard my clit, but it continues to throb with pleasure. Itâs a strange feeling ⦠as though someone has ripped away the very thread that kept me together.
When Eastonâs hand touches my shoulder, I brace for whatâs to come. Will he shove me against the bed and fuck me on the floor from behind? Will he pull me up by my chain and fuck me on the bed in traditional style? Or will he shove me against the door and make me look at him while he takes my pussy?
His hand slides upward along my neck, and he cups my chin and lifts my head. He slithers down to grasp the chain.
Click.
The chain falls to the floor, and Iâm no longer confined to the bed.
Just like that ⦠Iâm free.

She thinks itâs her whoâs the hunter, and me the prey.
She thinks sheâs playing me in order to steal what she wants.
...She couldnât be more wrong.
Because tonight, itâs me whoâll be stealing her.
Tonight sheâs mine.
Dear little thief,
I know what you came for. I know you thought itâd be easy. I know you thought I would be easy. Spoiler, it wonât be, and Iâm not.
You thought seducing me, and stealing a sample of my...seed, to sell on the black market would be a breeze. Except we both know youâve never done anything with a man, let alone one as powerful, and rich, and obsessed as me.
I know I should have you arrested. A man with my wealth and my power could ruin you with a snap of the fingers. But I wonât.
Maybe itâs because you intrigue me, little one. Maybe itâs because I enjoy a challenge. Or maybe itâs just because you look so f-ing pretty on your knees saying âplease, sirâ.
Weâll just have to find out. Let the games begin.
Come and play, little thief. Come and play, so I can play with you.

But it wasnât my fault. Letâs just call my reason âFamily Businessâ. Iâd tell you what that business is, but then Iâd have to kill you. Just kidding. I canât tell you what my family business is because itâs so secret, even I donât know.

Excerpt
EMMA
âWhat are you doing?â I ask.
âWhatâs it look like?â
âIt looks like youâre parking at a Tastee-Freez.â
âNothing gets by you, does it, Emma?â
âWhy are you taking me to a Tastee-Freez?â
âUsually people come here for ice cream.â
I just blink at him.
âYou donât like ice cream?â
âEveryone likes ice cream.â
âExactly,â he says, grinning like a foolish, charming bastard. Which makes no sense at all, but wow. Iâd forgotten about that smile and how disarming it is. He looks at me. âCome on,â he says. âItâs a date, right? You paid ten million dollars for this date and now youâre going to complain when I do something date-y?â
This wasnât part of the plan. The plan was:
Buy him.
Drive up to his lake house.
Drug him.
Wait for the girls to show up.
Take him over to our lake house.
Tie him up.
Make him regret all his asshole decisions thirteen years ago.
Probably gloat too. Little bit of, âLook at me, so rich and powerful now. And you dumped me, you dumbass. But oh, hey. Iâm too good for you now. You couldâve had all this and now youâve got nothing. Sucks to be you.â
Which is all pretty childish because heâs Jesse Boston. He could get any girl he wants. Just look at how they fell all over him tonight at the auction.
Ten. Million. Fucking. Dollars.
I feel sick. Literally, I feel sick. Itâs not that we canât afford the ten mil. Itâs just⦠that was not the plan. This asshole isnât worth ten million. What the hell were all those women thinking?
And us. What the hell were we thinking? This is all Hannahâs fault. Iâm gonna kill her later.
No revenge plan is worth ten million dollars.
And now he wants to have ice cream with me.
Uggggh.
âSo?â Jesse says.
âHmm?â
âAre we gonna get out of the car? Or are we going to sit here all night?â
âIâm not really in the mood for ice cream,â I say.
He grins at me again. Oh. God. Why is he so damn hot? Itâs not fair. âSee, thatâs the best part about ice cream. You donât have to be in the mood for it. In fact, eating it when youâre not in the mood is the best part. Because it puts you in the mood.â
And then he does one of those little eyebrow waggles.
I squint at him. âAre you coming on to me?â
âWhat?â
âWas that innuendo?â
He frowns. âWhat the fuck are you talking about?â
I point to his forehead. âYou waggled at me when you said ice cream puts you in the mood.â
âI didnât waggle at you.â
I huff. âDude, you totally did.â
âOK, whatever. If you say I did, then I did. But no. It wasnât innuendo. Ice cream is like⦠thatâs just what people eat when theyâre stressed, ya know?â
I just stare at him.
âGod, for a woman who paid ten million dollars for me, you sure are a tough crowd.â
âI know how much I paid for you,â I snap. âStop reminding me.â
âOK,â he says, holding up a hand. âWould you like me to take you home? Should we just⦠end this?â
I huff. âI paid ten million dollars for you. Iâm getting my date.â
He stares at me. No. He glares at me. âThen get your fucking ass out of my car and order a motherfucking ice cream.â
And then he gets out, not even waiting for me. Just gets out, slams the door, and walks up to the Tastee-Freez and gets in line.
âRude,â I mumble.

To the only man, I’ve ever loved. Now, he’s back, fighting, and ready to prove to me that we made a mistake, that our love is worth giving this another chance. I’m not sure if he’s right, but I know what my heart wants, and it wants him. My ex-husband. Harrison Why is it that you don’t know the depths of your mistakes until you’ve already made them?

That’s when I also realized, that I would do anything to change the past. I have so many regrets. Not her. I could never regret her, but how we ended. We never should have ended.
