Prologue
Kyle watched a mask slip over Tabitha’s features, a mask he hadn’t seen in a long time, the one she had used to defend herself from others, the one she hid behind to veil her feelings. He felt a hitch in his chest at her response because he actually couldn’t read if it reflected distaste or caution. Tabi knew what he used to do here or, at least, what his role had been before he met her, and his training films continued to be utilized. They were shown to a select few and were not considered pornography. She had voiced her understanding when he had carefully explained how he had trained women and sometimes matched them with other Doms. This served to both protect women from wannabes who could cause considerable harm, and sometimes led to long-term relationships, much like what they now shared. They would talk about it again because her reaction might have to do with some lingering insecurity within her. They belonged to each other now. He had worked hard to gain her trust, and she had given herself over to him totally and willingly. He was fairly certain that he had given himself to her.
We are often the products of our childhood
, he mused. When he first met Tabi, his bullshit meter went to high alert, and he knew to look behind the beautifully constructed defense that projected a well-adjusted, confident woman. It took considerable time to discover the wary, disillusioned, and distant waif who believed in no one and nothing, other than her own ambition. Trust had been something non-existent in her world.
He found out that Tabi had clawed her way up and out of her past life with no one’s help. She had been like a chameleon, blending in, obtaining life’s necessities with nary a glance in her direction. The compliant child in school garnered no negative attention, and like a sponge, she absorbed everything with a focus akin to that of a competitive athlete. She earned scholarships by using academics to distract her from the horror of her home life and escaped to college, two years younger than other students. Tabi had no one and needed no one, and the misleading aura she projected kept others away even as they thought highly of her. It was the perfect disguise, and the position she had obtained in one of his companies attested to both her financial acumen and well-faked social skills. If Tabitha hadn’t had one family member that she had cared about and, thus, some understanding of reciprocal affection, she could have been labeled a sociopath, given her inability to relate to others other than on a very superficial level.
Kyle had stripped her of both her clothes and her disguise and accepted the woman who had never dared to dream that anyone would want the being behind the mask yet who had sheltered a tiny flicker of hope. Her grandmother had been in her life at an early stage, and he believed it was that connection which sustained Tabi. He had warred with Tabi as she fought to protect herself out of terror and rage. Tabi’s hard-won control hid a desperate need, unknown even to her, to be dominated, controlled, and taken care of in order to reach her full potential before she totally evolved into a brilliant executive robot, devoid of all sexuality and joy.
His Tabi-cat had revealed not only joy, but passion, love, and happiness as he took away her ability to resist and gave her what she needed, making her ask only when he knew she felt undeserving. He had not stopped until she had submitted to him, body and soul. She gave up her other life to stay with him and meet his needs as he met all of hers. It had been the most difficult and most rewarding training of his adult life as a Dom, and she, quite simply, was his, the submissive woman he had waited so long for.
Chapter One
One year earlier…
Kyle Stone sat, idly swirling his drink as he waited for his accountant to return from the restroom. The morning had been productive. His financial situation was stable as ever, and the new projects, such as mortgage lending and entrepreneur support, were doing even better than expected. Gordon settled his bulk into the opposite chair and picked up the menu. Kyle smiled inwardly, knowing that the financial wizard had looked forward to the meal all morning.
His attention was drawn to the entry into the restaurant of two women, both dressed in conservative business suits and pumps, carrying briefcase style purses. The blonde was curvy, and she bounced with suppressed enthusiasm as she walked, chatting vivaciously with the brunette at her side. The other woman moved with stately grace, her slender form gently outlined in her suit jacket and pencil skirt, her breasts high, stomach flat. Long, well-formed legs were moulded with dark stockings that he was sure whispered with each stride. Kyle’s cock stood at attention without so much as a warning. Holy shit, she was amazing.
