An
excerpt from FORBIDDEN NIGHTS by Lauren Blakely
He
stood in the hallway wearing charcoal slacks, a crisp white shirt, and the navy
tie. Her fingers itched to unknot that tie. He was rolling up the cuffs on one
of the sleeves. A businessman at the end of the workday—that’s what she
would’ve named this photograph of him that she took in her mind’s eye.
“Did
you open the box?”
She
shook her head. He entered her apartment and she let the door fall shut behind
them with a click.
He
strolled casually to her kitchen, leaned against the counter, and tapped the
wood.
She
understood. The game was on. They were playing their parts. Joining him in the
kitchen, she grabbed the bottle of whiskey and poured him a glass, doing her
best to keep her hands steady. She watched his every move as he knocked back
the amber liquid. She imagined the burn in his throat. He set the glass down.
It was nearly empty.
She
stood near him, keenly aware that it was his move next.
This
was a chess game, and she barely knew how to play. She swallowed dryly.
Waiting. Uncertain.
She
wanted a burn in her throat too. That would be better than all these nerves.
She grabbed his glass and finished it.
“Do
you want to open the box now?”
She
nodded, grateful to have been given his direction. “Yes. I do.”
He
tipped his forehead to the L-shaped couch in the living room.
She
nodded briefly, and walked over to the couch. She sank down into the soft
material, stretching her legs out in front of her on the lounge section, crossing
them at the ankles. He joined her in the living room, choosing to sit on an
ottoman, his knees spread, his hands resting on his thighs. “Open it now,
Casey.”
Leaning
forward, she reached for the black box and untied the bow, letting it fall to
the floor. Gingerly, with nervous fingers, she lifted the top, shimmying it
off. In seconds, she’d know what he’d planned, and a ribbon of excitement
unfurled inside her from the possibilities. She wanted to say something, but
words escaped her at that moment. She wasn’t sure how to vocalize all these
unsteady feelings thrumming through her body.
Or
if he would even respond.
Nate
had always been easy to talk to. He’d always been chatty. But the man was
wearing steely silence like a new coat. All his moves were measured, chosen
carefully, designed to keep her guessing as to what he had in store for the
evening.
She
put the top of the box on the table, and the guessing game ended when she
dipped her hands inside the box and withdrew a long, silky scrap of fabric—a
blindfold. Next, she reached for a soft object, retrieving a feather tickler
from his collection of goodies. Finally, there was a small riding crop, as if
it had been made in miniature. Perhaps, so it didn’t seem so scary. She glanced
up at him. His eyes seemed dark brown tonight. Gone was that warm golden color,
replaced with a heat, a sensuality and blazing desire for her.
She
trembled. “What do you want to use first?”
He
didn’t answer her question. Instead, he issued an instruction. “Lie back. Close
your eyes.”
She
did as told, scooting into the couch. She hadn’t even turned on music, so she
was keenly aware of every sound. Of the low hum from the refrigerator, of the
far-off din of traffic, of the stirrings of a breeze. But there were no words
from him. The silence vibrated between them as she waited, the world dark
behind her eyelids.
His
fingers found their way to the top of her stockings. Gently, he rolled them
down, one by one, removing them, along with her shoes. “Don’t get me wrong.
These are unbearably sexy, but I need your bare skin.”
Her
world went pitch black. He had pressed the silk blindfold over her eyes. “This
is about you. About all the things you can feel if you let go. With this on,
all you can do is feel,” he said, low and husky, near her ear. Oh God, she was feeling
everything. She was feeling the tight coil of desire deep inside her, and the
fervent hope that he’d take her to the far edge of pleasure. That’s what she
was feeling.
She
drew a quick breath at the soft fluttery touch from a feather running along the
inside of her calves. The feather brushed across her knee. Goosebumps rose on
her flesh. Her skin felt electric as the feather travelled across her body,
visiting her belly, teasing her breasts, trailing along her sides. When the sensations
stopped briefly she wanted to ask what happened, until she felt the feather
once more.
He
was tracing the shell of her ear, and she gasped.
Warmth
spread inside her body. She had no idea that being touched on her ear would be
such a turn on. She had no notion either that she’d arch her back, seeking
closeness, willing him to touch more, when he ran the feather down her arm,
inside her elbow and across her wrist. “Your whole body is a playground,” he
instructed. “For now, until you learn to thoroughly give up control, it will be
my playground. Isn’t that right, Casey?”
She
nodded and moaned her agreement in a voice she didn’t even recognize as her
own.
“Then
hike up your skirt for me,” he told her.
Instantly,
she responded to his request. She reached for the hem, pulling it up. Her skirt
was now bunched at her waist. He stopped, and hissed in his breath. His audible
reaction to her body drove her arousal. They were a feedback loop of desire.
She’d move; he’d admire. He’d say a dirty word; she’d heat up. They fed each
other with this fevered kind of lust. She pictured him drinking her in,
memorizing the way she looked half-undressed on her couch.
Then,
she was alone again as she heard him rustling through the box. She knew what
was in the box: three things. She was wearing one of them. The other one he had
already used. That left only the one she feared. She tensed, waiting for soft
to change to hard. For tenderness to turn to a sting.
She
emitted a small cry at the first smack. He had flicked the crop once against
the flesh of her outer thigh. He shifted to the other, flicking her there. She
let out a tiny yelp. Reflexively, she closed her legs. She wasn’t sure if she
liked the crop. She parted her lips to speak, but then his fingertip pressed
softly against her mouth. “Shhh,” he said. “I can tell you don’t like it.”
In
a second, he was trailing the crop down her chest, underneath her bra, and
along her rib cage.
Then
it was gone.
He
must have lifted it in the air again, and she waited nervously for him to swat
her. But instead, she felt something hard against the wet panel of her panties.
He was using the riding crop against her clit, like a toy, turning something
she hadn’t liked into something she enjoyed immensely now. He rubbed one end
across her throbbing bundle of nerves, stroking her, sending the temperature
inside of her through the roof. She sought more friction, more contact, lifting
her hips closer. When he stopped, she heard a whooshing sound in the air, then
a smack against the hardwood floors. He’d tossed it away.
Next
was the weight of his body on hers, his soft voice in her ear, him whispering,
“I never ever want to do something to you that you don’t like. Do you
understand that?”
“Yes.”
“You
should only feel pleasure with me. You should never feel anything less than
desire,” he said, and he was Nate now, the man she trusted inside and out.
The
next thing she knew the blindfold was falling loose, dropping to her nose,
giving her sight again. There he was, raised on his arms above her, and smelling
like sex.
Tonight.
God, she hoped he’d take her tonight. Reaching behind her head, he untied the
blindfold all the way, then brought it to her wrists, wrapping it around them
in a circle, and binding them together in a tight knot.
“I’m
going to undress you now.”
He
laced his hands around her back, unhooked her bra, and freed her breasts. Then
he unsnapped her skirt, tugged it down her hips, to her knees, and over her
ankles, laying it neatly on the couch.
His
eyes roamed her body, drinking her in from head to toe.
“The
panties must go,” he said, a clear command, now back into character.
She
held up her bound wrists as if to say you’re
going to need to be the one to take them off.
In
one swift move, his hands were on her hips, practically tearing them off, like
a hungry, greedy man eager for the prize.
He
stood and stepped away from her. He crossed his arms over his chest. “I want to
watch you spread your legs for me. Do it nice and slow. Like a tease. Make me
so fucking hard, harder than I already am, from the way you open your legs.”

hotel CEO Nate Harper has lusted after his good friend Casey Sullivan for a

for life, and Casey only wants true love.

that changes one hot night when she comes to him with a proposition he can't
resist -- she wants him to teach her to be submissive in the bedroom. Casey
soon learns how very much she likes letting go of control to him. She's never
been more turned on in her life than she is in Nate's arms. And he's never been
more taken by a woman.

to turn into so much more than either one bargained for...
