Excerpt
The smell of lust filled the room. In fact, the sexual tension
was so high I would bet most of the women present longed to be in the place of
the lovely redhead. Currently standing in front of Cole Johnson, the Partners
in Play group’s newest senior Dominant, the petite woman trembled
slightly. Although she was fully clothed, she displayed a vulnerability I was
all too familiar with.
“Daniel told me she’s
been having difficulties focusing,” my husband and Dominant,
Nathaniel, said. We were at a play party being held at a private residence. He
stood behind me, and though we were somewhat removed from the group, he still
whispered. “He said he hopes the session with Cole will help.”
“With everyone watching?”
I asked. “That seems unlikely.”
“I guess we’ll
see.”
We couldn’t hear Cole’s
voice; he spoke too softly. The submissive’s gaze
drifted from him to the watching crowd. Bad move. Quick as a lightning strike,
Cole grabbed her chin and forced her to meet his eyes.
“On me,”
he said, the threat in his voice noticeable before it dropped back down
to a whisper.
“Perhaps he believes if she can
focus while in the middle of a crowd, she can focus during anything,”
Nathaniel said.
There was probably some truth to that. The submissive
certainly didn’t appear to be tempted to look our way again. Then
again, Cole had placed his hands on her shoulders and started a slow stroke up
and down her arms. All the while, he kept his eyes locked on hers. I doubted
there were many women who would be able to think about anything else if he was
looking at them like that.
After a few minutes, he stepped back and spoke to her
again. “As far as you’re
concerned, you and I are the only people in this room. Understand?”
She answered with a softly spoken “Yes, Sir.”
“Louder,”
he said. “Own your words.”
“Yes, Sir,”
she repeated, this time with more confidence.
“You are to keep your eyes on
mine the entire time we’re together unless I tell you
to do otherwise.”
“Yes, Sir.”
“What’s your safe
word?” Cole asked.
“Red, Sir.”
“Thank you. Take your shirt
off.”
Her gaze briefly flickered to the floor.
“That’s one, sub,”
Cole said, and she sucked in a breath. “Tell me
what you did.”
“I looked at the floor, Sir.”
“And what were you supposed to
do?”
“Keep my eyes on yours.”
Cole nodded. “Take your shirt off the proper
way.”
This time, she kept her focus on him while she unbuttoned
and slid the shirt off her shoulders. It fluttered to the floor.
“Very nice,”
Cole said. “Now remove your bra.”
I wasn’t a Dominant by any stretch,
but I’d been an active submissive for long enough to know
and recognize hesitation. Hell, I’d done it often enough myself,
but I always learned something new when I was an observer. It was certainly
interesting seeing things from a different prospective.
Cole took a step toward her. “On the
checklist you filled out, how do you have public nudity listed?”
“As won’t
object, Sir.”
“And how else am I to interpret
your hesitation as anything other than objecting?”
“I don’t know,
Sir.”
“That’s because
there is no other way. That’s two. Now remove the bra.”
She quickly reached behind her back to unsnap her bra, but
my own focus was suddenly shifted to my husband’s two
hands, which were unbuttoning my shirt.
His voice was rough in my ear while his fingers stroked my
breasts. “You like watching, don’t you?”
“Especially with you teasing me
like that with your hands, Master.”
“You like teasing?” he asked.
I realized what I’d said and how he’d
probably interpret my words. “Uh, well . . .”
Review
This is was slow start but once Abby and Nathaniel move and start a new chapter in their life, things start to strain for the couple. But what we know about this deeply passionate couple is that if they can get through they will be stronger than ever.
Not having read the first five books, I was scared that I wouldn't be able to fully grasp the characters, but that was not the case. There is enough backstory thrown in to keep you interested in their story. Watching them grow their relationship with all the hardships life can throw at you makes them feel real, like your friends. Having small kids, demanding jobs, retaining passion in their relationship can sometime be left behind. I love watching them fight to keep it alive. No one gets it right all the time, but what you do afterwards is what counts.
This was an engaging story about a couple working through their issues one step at a time. They enjoy a BDSM relationship but their problems are ones that anyone can relate to.
