All He Desires: The Complete Series (23 page)

"You may rise now," Jake said once he was in front of me again.

Trevor and Samuel supported me as I was overcome with emotion. The collar suddenly felt too tight. The room too small. But slowly, I got my feet underneath me, and managed to take a handful of shaky breaths.

"This was your plan all along, wasn't it, Master?" I asked, eying the papers Jake left on the floor.

"What part?" He picked them up and set them back on the table.

"The ball. The masks..." I touched a finger to my collar. "This."

"I'd be lying if I told you it wasn't. But much like how you could pick me out of three Doms, I can't miss spotting you in another room, across the street or demoing in
The Limelight.
This is the life I wanted...have wanted for a very long time. A sub's never taken my heart the way you have, and unlike the man you thought I once was, this right here..." He hooked his fingers under my collar and pulled me into his arms. "This is what I value most. And that's why I've decided to sell the estate."

I coughed as heat brushed my cheeks. "You're...selling it? How? Why?" I looked to Trevor and Samuel who seemed just as calm about it as Jake was. "Where will you go?"
Where will we live?

"I've already gotten an offer. It's going to stay in the family."He smiled at our guests. "It'll be used for local demos and events. I figure there are more than enough rooms to please most of the community."

"But what about your things?"

"They're just things, Kira. I quite like the cozy set up you have back at your apartment."

"You...you would do that?"

He offered me a partial shrug. "I technically already have. Besides, asking you to move into a place such as this, when not even two people can make it a home, is wrong. You have a home, and if you'll have me, I'd like to have a place inside it."

Maybe it was the hormones, or everything hitting all at once, but my knees buckled and lowered to the floor. I couldn't hold back the tears anymore, and I didn't have to. Jake knelt in front of me and cupped my face, kissing me on the lips as tears streamed down my cheeks.

"Kira, will you do this for me?"

"For you, Master, I will."

E
rin loves writing out her deepest fantasies, from sexy wereshifters, to strong characters and all things BDSM. But she wasn't always this way. In fact, up until 2011, writing erotica was the furthest thing from her mind. Happily living in a world of fantasy and science fiction, the dirtiest scenes she ever wrote were a kiss between a druid and a dryad along with a skydance between two gryphons.

As uncomfortable as it was, Erin accepted a challenge from her husband to write something new. It started with one word. Two words. Three thousand words later and she was hooked.

She currently lives in Pennsylvania with her husband and their small collection of pets.
