Today, I'm posting 7 paragraphs from my new release (yesterday actually) Master King, the third book in the Masters of Tabu series.
Blurb:
Jared King has hard rules and plays hard with the
submissives at Club Tabu. Living the high life the way he wants has caused more
problems with his family. His kink lifestyle is an embarrassment to the King
family name. He refuses to settle down and fall in-line with what his father
wants. Then there’s his childhood friend haunting his dreams, but the woman
told him she despises him. Deep down, he’d defend her honor and lay down his
way of life for her.
Now what?
Bailey Melchor is a boutique owner and daddy’s little girl,
except she wants to succeed on her own, not using his money. She’s had one true
love, but she can’t stand him. Their one-time hookup turned into a disaster
twelve years ago. They meet again at a friend’s wedding, but after too many
glasses of champagne, they wake up in bed together. Not Dallas, but Vegas.
Now what?
Setting the Scene:
Bailey has awakened the next morning after a friend's wedding in a strange bed, with a strange man she later learns is her childhood crush. He's nonchalant about their interlude, but she's not having none of it. She has a splitting headache and he offers to get something to alleviate the pain despite her objection.
Excerpt:
“Don’t argue with me, Little Bee.”
Why does he keep calling me that? Even after
all these years? Only
Jared called her that endearment. At least she always took it as a show of
affection. Now, she wasn’t so sure. Why couldn’t she remember everything? God,
her head hurt the more she thought about everything.
The soft padding of his footsteps across the carpet, followed with a
door opening helped her relax a little. Without turning her head, she cut her
eyes in his direction and caught him walking out of the room, just in time to
incredulously peek at the tight muscles of his buttocks flexing as he moved.
Did the man have no shame? Here she was grasping a sheet with white knuckles to
keep herself pulled together from a night of lord knows what happened. It
didn’t help the situation with him flaunting himself around the room naked
while she had a splitting headache. What was wrong with this picture?
“Damn, he still looks hot. Six feet of hard muscles stretched tight
all over that fine bod and even better than he looked years ago,” she murmured.
Oh, this is a big mistake. How did I get
here? With him?
“I’ve got to get out of here. That’s all there is to it. Where are my
clothes?” She glanced around the room and knelt when she saw the heel to her
shoes under the edge of the bed. “Okay, where’s your match?” She crawled a few
feet on her hands and knees, abruptly stopping when she found torn condom
wrappers. Three of them. Extra-large,
glow in the dark? OMG! At least we were safe.
Keeping the sheet around her, pushing the unattached cuff on her wrist
out of the way and crawling at the same time wasn’t easy. Thinking about what
went with those empty condom packets didn’t help the situation. Didn’t matter
though, getting about a yard from the bed she ran into a pair of large bare
feet attached to muscular legs.
“You lose something? Or, are you practicing your slave position for
me?” Jared’s deep voice with the slightest hint of playfulness raised goose
bumps on her skin.
