A Dom Is Forever

A Man with a Past…

Liam O’Donnell fled his native
Ireland years ago after one of his missions ended in tragedy and he was accused
of killing several of his fellow agents. Shrouded in mystery, Liam can’t
remember that fateful night. He came to the United States in disgrace, seeking
redemption for crimes he may or may not have committed. But the hunt for an
international terrorist leads him to London and right back into the world he
left behind.

A Woman Looking for a Future…

Avery Charles followed her boss
to London, eager to help the philanthropist with his many charities. When she
meets a mysterious man who promises to show her London’s fetish scene, she
can’t help but indulge in her darkest fantasies. Liam becomes her Dom, her protector,
her lover. She opens her heart and her home to him, only to discover he’s a man
on a mission and she’s just a means to an end.

When Avery’s boss leads them to
the traitorous Mr. Black, Liam must put together the puzzle of his past or
Avery might not have a future…

Excerpt:

“I want you.” She wanted him so
badly. She just didn’t trust that he could possibly want her.

“No, you don’t, but you will.”
He stepped back and tucked his shirt in. “We’re going to do this my way. We
tried yours and it didn’t work, so I’m taking control. I should have done it in
the first place. If I thought you had some, I would tell you to change into fet
wear, but you don’t happen to have a corset and some PVC hiding in that closet,
do you?”

“I don’t know what PVC is,” she
admitted, her heart aching a little. “I don’t think this is a good idea, Lee. I
don’t think I can be what you need. I’m not experienced, and what experience I
have wasn’t very good. Don’t get me wrong. I loved my husband, but the sex
wasn’t spectacular. I think I’m just one of those women who can’t be sexy. I
was trying to please you, but I couldn’t.”

Even in the dim light, she could
see him staring, assessing. “And I think you’re one of those women who can’t
stop thinking long enough to let her body take over. Look, Avery, the sex
you’ve had happened with a kid. Was your husband older than you? More
experienced?”

She shook her head. They had
both been virgins.

“Then you have no idea what it
can be like. I look at sex differently than most people. It’s an exchange, and
it should be good for both parties. I don’t want you to spread your legs and
let me have you because you want someone to hold you. If you want me to hold
you, ask me. I want you to spread your legs because you can’t wait another
single second for my cock. I want that pussy ripe and ready and weeping for a
big dick to split it wide and have its way. I want your nipples to peak because
I walk into a room and you remember every dirty thing I can do to them. I want
you to want me. I can make you crave me. I don’t want some drive-by fucking
that gets me off and I forget it five minutes later. I want to fuck all night
long. I want to feel it all the next day because my cock got so used to being
deep inside your body. If that’s what you want, then get dressed in the sexiest
thing you own and agree that I’m the boss when it comes to sex.” He turned and
walked out. “I’ll give you five minutes to decide. I’ll be waiting in your
living room. If you really want me, you’ll dress exactly how I’ve told you to
dress and you’ll present yourself to me for inspection. And Avery, no bra and
no underwear. You won’t need them.”

The door closed behind him, and
she had to remember how to breathe.

She wasn’t sexy. She wasn’t
orgasmic.

But what if she could be? Lee
hadn’t been right about everything, but he had a few points. He’d told her he
wanted to be in control and then she’d tried to make all the decisions. He had
more experience, but she’d decided she knew best. She hadn’t listened to him.

He wanted control. He wanted her
to really want him. She didn’t understand, but if she ever wanted to
understand, she had to try.

She’d taught herself how to walk
again. That had been an enormous mountain to climb. Why was she so scared of
this? She’d faced worse, but she was cowering in her boots over not wearing
underwear and a bra? She’d lost so much. Was she willing to lose this, too?

What was she really risking? She
might look dumb. She could end up with her heart broken, but at least she would
have proven it still worked.

She’d come across the ocean to
change her life—to have a life. What was life without a few risks?

She got her phone out and sent a
quick text to Adam letting him know she was home and who she was with so if she
was serially murdered, at least they would have a starting place for where to
find her body.

But she was going to do this
because she felt safe with Lee. And because she wanted to finally understand
what it really meant to want someone.
