What is true release?
The delicious sting of pain against needyflesh. Fingers digging into you, spreading you open. That slowgrind of friction when I pound deep inside you, low and dirty andso fucking forbidden.
You want it. You’re slick and panting,craving the pleasure only my cock can provide. Your damp pussyaches to be stretched. Filled. Possessed.
But something is holding you back. You’reright there on the precipice, but you can’t take that leap off theedge.
You’re not ready for me yet.
Because what you don’t realize is that therecan be no surrender without trust. Unconditional and absolute. It’snot just your body, but your mind, too. Every last defense, allthose voices holding you back.
Quiet your mind.
Open your body.
Take everything I have to give you—andmore.
And then, only then will you understand.
This invitation is not just for thenight.
It’s forever.
CHAPTER ONE
JUSTINE
I stand in the middle of the luxurious hotelroom, the blindfold hanging from my fingertips. After weeks ofthrilling, sexy games, I’m finally face to face with my mysteryman. The guy who’s driven me wild, pushed every last one of mylimits – and made me orgasm harder than anyone in my lifebefore.
It’s Ash.
My Ash.
I stare at him in total shock.
“It’s me, JJ,” he says with a soft smile.“It was always me.”
He reaches for me, still naked in bed,looking illegally hot. But I lurch away. My head is spi
I feel stu
Fuck me.
And you were thinking about him the wholetime.
I snap back. I’m still naked, my body stillglowing from the epic orgasm he just delivered. It finally sinksin.
Ash. I just had sex with Ash – and I didn’teven know it.
I grab a robe from the hotel closet and beltit tightly around myself. I look frantically around for my clothes.I don’t know where they are, I was too caught up in the eroticthrill of having my mystery admirer’s hands on me, but I find myshoes kicked off across the room, and my panties in a damp heap onthe floor.
“JJ?” Ash’s voice comes, concerned now.“Talk to me.”
“What is there to say?” I snap back. Tearsof humiliation sting in my eyes as I pull my dress over my head.“You win.”
“What do you mean?”
I ignore his question, yanking my shoes backon. I look around for my clutch purse, but I don’t see it anywhere.“Where’s my purse?” I demand, my voice shaking. I have about tenseconds before I break down completely, and I can’t be here when ithappens. I can’t let him see how much he’s hurt me.
“My purse,” I say again. I toss pillows fromthe bed to the floor, and bend to my knees to check under thedresser. “I need my wallet, and keys. Where is it?”
“Here.”
I look up. Ash is holding it, standing bythe door in just his briefs. I stalk over and grab it, but he pullsback. His blue eyes flash dark with concern. “JJ, talk to me.What’s going on?”
“What’s going on?” I echo, my voice rising.“Why do you care? You did it. Congratulations. You won.”
“Why do you keep saying that?” Ash demands,still holding tight to my purse. The one thing I need if I’m goingto get the hell out of this nightmare.
“Because it’s true. This was all a big gameto you. And I fell for it, hook, line, and sinker.”
My heart aches, I bite back the tears. Ididn’t know my mystery man’s identity, but I opened up to him likenobody else. I let him see me at my most vulnerable. I trustedhim.
And all along, Ash was laughing at me behindmy back. What kind of fool does that make me?
“You pla
“JJ, no—” Ash starts to argue, but I won’tlet him. The humiliation and betrayal is hardening into anger, andI hold onto that with everything I’ve got.
Anger will help me. Anger will keep me fromcollapsing into tears right here in the middle of the floor.
“Was it fun for you?” I spit. “Watching merun around, trying to untangle the big mystery? Knowing that nomatter how much you belittled me in the office, I’d spread my legsfor you after-hours?”
Ash looks shocked. “It wasn’t likethat.”
“So tell me how it was,” I demand. “Go on,tell me what the hell was going on in that head of yours. Becauseright now, I can’t think of a single good reason you have fortricking me like this, stringing me along like I’m some kind ofcheap toy!”
“You need to calm down.” Ash reaches for meagain. I feel the heat of his skin, the strength in his touch, anddammit, my body betrays me, flooding with heat all over again.
“No!” I shove him, hard. “You don’t get totell me what to do. Not anymore!”
My stomach twists, remembering theinvitations. All those instructions, his whispered, sexy orders. Ifollowed them blindly.
And you loved every minute of it.
“Get out.” I’m shaking with rage, at myselfas much as him. “I said, get out!”
But Ash doesn’t move. He looks at me calmly.“JJ, you know me,” he says softly. “You know I would never do thisto hurt you.”
“I used to know you,” I mutter, hollow. “Butthis guy, right here? He’s a stranger.”
A hot, disheveled stranger who’s still moremagnetic than any other man I’ve known. I clench my hands intofists to keep from reaching for him, falling back into bed, andshowing him everything I’ve learned since the last time we fucked,three years ago.
Except he already knows. He’s seen everypart of me, betrayed me a hundred times over.
How could he do this to me?
