The Love between them is strong.
Kyle’s best friend Marshall resurfaces and he’s in a lot of trouble. Can the men at Kiss of Leather convince a former Dom to take on the mouthy sub?
Master Derek and his new sub Corey have signed a
contract and enjoy their first scene together. The love between them is strong
and Derek is as protective of his boy as ever. The only thing left that would
make their world perfect would be to bring Corey’s ex-Dom and abuser to
justice.
The legal firm that represents Kiss of Leather is
charged with hiring a private investigator to flush out the man who
orchestrated Corey’s gang rape. Stone Manning is hesitant to take the job,
though. He was once wrongly accused in the death of a sub and swore never to
enter a BDSM club again. But he owes attorney Glen Sharp his life after the
lawyer got him acquitted.
Their meeting is disrupted when Kyle’s missing
friend Marshall calls for help. Master Josh promises to help the mouthy
Marshall get back on his feet under one condition: Marshall must sign a six
month D/s contract as a fulltime sub and prove he can fully submit to a man as
well as learn to respect those around him.
Stone Manning suddenly finds himself charged with
taming the brattiest sub ever. In truth, the bigger the brat, the more his
heart races with excitement. Marshall promises to be just the type of challenge
to inspire Stone to be a Master again. As Stone learns more about him, he sees
the pain that Marshall has always tried to numb with drugs and alcohol. Stone
also sees a man he could love – if he can ever reach him.
In the meantime, Stone and his investigative partner,
Chuck, continue to search for Corey’s attacker. The abusive Dom appears to have
gone underground. But what they don’t realize is that the closer they get to
their prey, the more dangerous he becomes.
Excerpt:
Stone considered Marshall. He was smart. But he was also in so much
emotional pain, viewed his life through a lens of fear, loss and regret. Stone
wondered if six months would be long enough to address all of Marshall’s
demons. He’d have to do his damnedest to be everything that Marshall needed.
“Sit down, please.” Stone indicated to
the chair across from him.
Marshall blinked at him in confusion as
if Stone had announced to him that he was an iguana. “Okaaaay…” He lowered
himself gingerly on the seat as he continued to stare at Stone as though he
were insane.
Obviously
not the reaction he’d expected after his little rant. Good.
Marshall made a small strangled sound,
dropping his chin to his chest. He lifted it again with a sigh. “Okay, Sir.”
Stone rose then circled around the table
until he reached Marshall. “Good boy.” He placed his palm on the top of his
head, Marshall jerking away the second they made contact.
“What are you doing?”
Marshall’s tone had held an edge of fear
to it that Stone didn’t like. He kept his words soft.
“I was praising you because you did that
perfectly. Thank you.”
The expression on Marshall’s face held
confusion. His brow furrowed as he averted his gaze. “Oh. Uh, you’re welcome,
Sir.”
Marshall fiddled with the towel as if
repositioning it. There was a noticeable tremble to his hands. Stone wondered
if it was from being upset or more related to Marshall’s blood sugar or a lack
of alcohol. There was so much to handle in regards to Marshall and Stone didn’t
want to overwhelm him. The desire to understand why Marshall had reacted
negatively to a gentle touch nagged at him. But it wasn’t about what he wanted.
It was about what Marshall needed. The first priority was his sub’s physical
health.
“Would you like some coffee, boy?”
Marshall jerked his head up. “Coffee?”
“Yes, boy. Is that something you like to
have in the morning?”
“Yes, Sir. But…I mean, isn’t that a part
of my whole submission thingy? Josh used to make me do that every morning for
him.” Marshall snickered. “Oh my God. He knew better than to have me cook, though.”
“Hmm. That’s good information to have.
We’ll have to get you some simple recipes to begin with, perhaps a basic
cooking course.” Stone glanced over his shoulder as he approached the Keurig
machine. “Do you take anything in your coffee?”
“Hold up. Cooking course? I don’t think
so.” He placed a hand delicately across his chest. “I’m not really into that
whole Gordon Ramsey scene.” Marshall favored him with a sly smirk. “Although, I
wouldn’t mind doing him.”
“You never answered my question.”
“Huh? What question? You were talking
about me cooking.” He grunted, speaking as if to himself. “As if that would ever happen.”
“It’s going to happen and I wanted to know how you take your coffee.”
Marshall narrowed his eyes. “You can’t make me do something I don’t know how to
do.”
“Once you finish a cooking course, then
yes, I can make you do it.”
Marshall crossed his arms and Stone
noted the wince he made that was undoubtedly from pulling on the wound on his
elbow. “I’m not cooking and no, you
can’t make me.”
Stone leaned with his back against the
tiled counter, his stance relaxed, almost as if he was bored. “Are you aware of
what they’ll make you do in prison, Marshall? And how do you suppose they might
make you do something you don’t want to do? Josh explained to me that the
amount of Ecstasy and cocaine they found on the ground near you when you were
thrown from the car would be enough to put you away for a very long time. How confident are you that a public defender would
be your best bet as opposed to the type of legal counsel Josh can provide? All
he wants in return is my assurances that you’re submitting to me completely and
showing me, as well as those you interact with, proper respect. I’m to report
to him on a weekly basis.”
The distress on Marshall’s face was
clear. “But…Josh said I had six months. I can’t be perfect right away! What if
I make a mistake, and I didn’t mean to, but you tell Josh I’m a fuck-up? This
isn’t fair!” Marshall’s breathing elevated. “This is a fucking nightmare. I’ll
never be able to handle this. I can’t cook. I’m not good at anything except
shaking my ass and sucking cock.” Marshall buried his face in his hands before
tearing them away. “Fuck it. I’m leaving.” Marshall started to rise.
“Sit.”
Marshall jumped, but stayed seated, his
eyes widened as he stared at Stone. He made sure to keep his voice calm and
soothing as he spoke. “You’re not a fuck-up and once we get to the point of
discussing consequences to actions, calling yourself that, or any other derogatory
reference, will be cause for punishment.”
“Like telling Josh you’re done with me.”
It hadn’t been a question and had been
said with a veneer of sadness. Marshall felt the tug in his chest he’d first
experienced when he’d seen Josh at the club.
