Chapter 1

Friday, February 8

Shadoas haunted

Macen “Haeon of his BDSM club, watching scenes play out around him The scent of leather filled his head A whip cracked A sub he barely knew let out a feminine moan Bodies entwined The constant erotic ebb and flow of pleasure that played out around hier for the only woman he’d ever craved

Raine Kendall

In the corner, a Dom spanked his sub Ha since he’d felt the burn of his palm on Raine’s taut, lush backside, heard her cry in his ears

But after the traued too hot for her If he unleashed them, he’d break her Much better for Raine if he stayed away

In his pocket, his phone buzzed He pulled out the device and glanced at the screen His best friend and the man he shared her with, Liam O’Neill, had texted him a video

When he clicked on the clip, Raine parted her bare thighs He’d know her body anywhere Petal-pink silk clung to her hips, fra transparent black lace that kissed her pussy…where Liaers over the da to rub her clit with an audible pant “Please…” she cried “Macen!”

Instantly, his cock jolted to life

Liae read: Don’t you wish you were here?

Yes Balls deep Every fucking night

Yet you’re alorking while Lia his fill of Raine

Because his best friend was better at balancing his Dominant needs with his sexual ones

Goddamn it, every time Ham up at hirip of her pussy squeezed hiht now

More blood surged doard He went froh to pound nails

Ha in his cock wasn’t going away on its own It never did

He’d learned that the hard way

Biting off a curse, he headed to his fucking office Again

As he whirled around, he nearly ran into Pike, one of his dungeonto bitch at you Sa”

“I don’t have time Deal with it”

“He’s insisting on talking to you”

“Then throw him the fuck out,” Hammer called over his shoulder

“For the night?”

“Or for-fucking-ever I don’t give a shit”

Macen just wanted five damn minutes alone

He’d barely finished the thought when Carl—an egory scowl

“I’ the equipment after—”

“Either tell the man to clean it up or have your sub do it Do I look like your maid? Your mother?”

Carl narrowed his eyes “You can’t talk to me that way”

Hae to punch the prick “I just did”

Without waiting for Carl’s reply, Ha at anyone who dared to make eye contact The crowd took a collective step back

Except Beck, Shadows’ resident sadist He wore a disapproving smirk

“What?” Macen glared, never breaking his stride

“Just ad your people skills…”

“Fuck you”

Beck shook his head

This night just kept getting better and better Hammer’s cock throbbed Raine’s luscious video burned a hole in his pocket Why wouldn’t everyone go the hell away so he could enjoy it in peace?

Lewis, his new security geek, approached with a question on his face

Hammer preempted him “Is it death, blood, or a lawsuit?”

“Huh? Oh, no I’m just not sure how to—”

“Save it for later”

Macen finally prowled the last steps through his office and into his bedroom He plucked his phone free as he slammed the door behind him With one hand, he jerked off his tie With the other, he tapped his thumb on the cell phone’s screen The video launched He lay on the bed, yanked down his fly, and lost his

His dick was already desperate and leaking when he wrapped hiht fist He jerked on his shaft as Raine’s breathy plea echoed in his ears The insatiable lust he’d always felt for her flared in his belly His hold turned brutal at the sight of her slender fingers teasing the nubbin he loved to suckle Fuck, what he wouldn’t give to plunge his tongue beneath that veil of lace, lap at her sweet-tart cream, and fuck her with his mouth until she screamed his name

Batting his thuain, Ha in an endless loop Memories of the first time she’d drowned him in the wicked heat of her mouth—in this very bed—assailed him He’d broken his own rule and sunk his fat crest into her narrow slit right here, too The devastating friction had unraveled every one of his good intentions He’d fucked her hard

His cock grew thicker, his skin stretching ihter, as he quickened his fist and pawed hied down his spine

“Fuck, yes”

Ha to feel Raine shatter When she caht to force hiain, driving through her spas flesh until she clawed him and screamed

He stroked harder His balls drew up tight His pulse thundered in his ears

With a yell, he erupted into his hand, his seed spilling, his body hu

As he lay staring at the ceiling, panting and sweating, he dimmed his phone

This shit would be soAnd Liaht ass while Hammer stuffed her cunt full and—

“Fuck” He rolled off the bed and kicked his pants away If he didn’t stop thinking about Raine and sex in the same sentence, he wouldn’t ht He should know He’d been jacking off in here for weeks

Each night, he went ho desperate to claim her To make her strip To tie her to their bed To crawl inside her head and, together with Liam, command her body

But twoopen in his e lot at four thirty around, and Raine nowhere in sight He’d been shaken to the soul He and Liam had searched frantically to stop her attacker before the bastard raped and murdered the only woman who coy warehouse nearby She’d been clutching a slick knife in her delicate fist, naked and freezing, rocking despondently in a pool of blood near the father she’d been forced to kill

She hadn’t been the sao houilt and contrition inevitably strangled him His cock battled his conscience
