SIR
Genre: Dark Romance, Billionaire, BDSM, Mafia, Dual Identity
Blurb:
By day, Nora Ellis is the efficient, sharp-tongued secretary to the elusive billionaire, David Reid. By night, she becomes Mistress Scarlet – the masked dominatrix who commands The Red Room.
Her two lives never touch.
Until the night her boss walks into her world as a new client.
David's no stranger to control: by day, he's the ruthless CEO with a hidden mafia empire; by night, he's her most demanding client, unaware the masked submissive he craves is the woman who knows his every secret. What starts as forbidden pleasure turns into a dangerous obsession, one that blurs the lines between power, pain, and love.
As enemies close in and Nora’s past resurfaces, she must decide which part of herself to save… the woman he commands, or the woman who could destroy him.
Trigger Warning: This story contains explicit BDSM scenes (including dominance/submission dynamics, impact play, restraint, and sensory deprivation), graphic depictions of gun violence and murder, kidnapping attempts, mafia-related threats and organized crime elements, alcohol use, and themes of secrecy, betrayal, and emotional manipulation. Reader discretion is advised – safe, sane, and consensual practices are emphasized, but content may be intense for some.

Chapter: EpilogueThe bedroom door is barely closed before David's hands are on me, sliding up under the thin silk of my robe as he backs me against the wall.I tilt my head back against the cool plaster, letting him kiss down the column of my throat while my fingers work the buttons of his shirt open. His skin is still firm under my palms, though the muscle has softened slightly with the years, the hair on his chest is more silver than dark now. I love every change. Every line around his eyes when he smiles, every grey at his temples, every scar from nights we almost didn't survive. I trace them with my fingertips as I push the shirt off his shoulders."You smell like trouble," he murmurs against my collarbone, voice low and rough the way it gets when he's already half-gone on me."Good trouble?" I ask, sliding my hand down his stomach, feeling the way his muscles jump under my touch."The best kind." He catches my wrist, brings my palm to his mouth and kisses the centre before guiding it lower and th

Chapter: BOOK 3Wow. I can’t believe I’m writing this. Two chapters and one epilogue ago, we were still holding our breath. Now here we are… at the end of SIR. For good this time. I don’t even know where to begin. Thank you. Truly. Thank you for stepping into this world with David and Nora. Thank you for riding every high, surviving every heartbreak, arguing with me in the comments when I stressed you out, and loving these characters as fiercely as I do. What started as an idea became something so much bigger because of you. Writing this book breathed life into my lungs in ways I can’t even explain. There were days when this story carried me just as much as I carried it. David and Nora’s journey wasn’t just ink on a page for me. It was healing, it was cathartic, and most importantly... it was home. And now… BOOK THREE! After so many debates with my editor and so many passionate discussions with you all, I’ve finally made the decision. Book 3 of SIR will follow Lucia. Yes. Our little Luc

Chapter: #55: You Know I'm RightMaya jerks backward from the impact, the bullet tearing through the meat of her shoulder. She staggers two steps with her right hand clamping over the wound and blood already seeping between her fingers. The knife she’d pulled from her boot clatters to the floor. Her eyes are wide and locked on the smoking barrel in David’s hand.I’m still on my knees beside Vincent’s body, his blood soaking through my jeans. My ears are still ringing from the shot. Everything feels slow and too loud at the same time.I turn and see David standing in the doorway, holding the gun steady even though his knuckles are white around the grip. He doesn’t look at me first. His eyes stay on Maya.I push myself up slowly, legs shaky under me. “I thought I told you to stay outside and let me handle this on my own.”He finally glances my way. Just a quick flick of his gaze enough to make sure I’m still breathing, before returning to Maya.“I heard you,” he says. His voice is calm, almost conversational. “And if I

Chapter: #54: I'm Fucking SorryMaya stands frozen under the bright lights of the Red Room, her chest rising and falling too fast, eyes wide with the kind of shock that only comes when every careful plan collapses in the same heartbeat. Blood is drying on my arms, sticky and warm, but none of it is mine. The bodies of her men lie scattered across the carpet like broken dolls – some still twitching, most already gone. The air smells of copper and gunpowder and fear. I keep the pistol steadily pointed to her chest. My voice comes out calmly. “All I want is an apology, Maya. One honest apology. Say it, and I let you walk out of here.” She stares at me for a long second, then laughs. The sound starts small and builds until it echoes off the crimson walls. “That’s it? That’s why you staged this entire circus? For a fucking apology?” I don’t smile back. “Not everyone is an evil genius.” Her laughter cuts off suddenly and she wipes a smear of blood from her cheek with the back of her hand. “No. You’re right.

Chapter: #53: MayaMaya settles deeper into the leather armchair in the surveillance van parked three blocks away with her legs crossed and a tablet balanced on her knee. The feed from the six micro-cameras she planted throughout David and Nora's apartment is crisp, the audio clean enough to catch every breath and every word. She has watched David and Nora return from the federal building, watched him hold her too long in the foyer, watched them disappear into the master suite for what was obviously not a conversation. The rage that had simmered since the chapel wedding is now a steady burn in her chest, but she keeps it contained. Rage without control is useless. She has learned that lesson the hard way. On the screen, Nora moves alone through the hallway toward the front door. She kisses David on the cheek just before she steps out, and promises to be back home soon. Wouldn’t be so sure if I were you, Maya thinks to herself. Nora steps out holding a black leather bound

Chapter: #52: Hands Where I Can See ThemThe sight of Maya on our couch with her legs crossed, looking like she’s waiting for room service, snaps something inside me and I just move. I cross the living room in three strides, my hands already curling into fists, ready to wipe that calm smile off her face with every ounce of rage that’s been building since the day stepped into that warehouse. I almost make it. The cold press of a gun barrel against the back of my skull stops me dead. “Easy now,” a man’s voice says from behind me. “Hands where I can see them.” I raise them slowly, doing my utmost to quell the rage building up within me. Maya sets her glass down on the coffee table with a soft clink. “Well,” she says, standing smoothly, “now that we’ve gotten the initial hostility out of the way, perhaps we can behave like adults.” David puts himself between me and the gunman without hesitation. “Get that thing off her head,” he says in a voice that's danger

SUBMISSION 101
"Keep your hands on the fucking desk." His voice is dark, as he presses my palm against the desk bending me over, his c*ck burying deep inside.
"You like that?" he whispers against my ear.
I whimper and arch my back further, trying to take him deeper despite the pain.
I never thought I'd like this sort of thing, never thought I'd even try it. But here's Harlan, opening me up to a world of pleasure and vulgarity that I didn't even know existed, and fuck, it hurts, but it's so fucking good, I can't imagine stopping.
"Yes," I breathe.
He slaps me harder.
His palm lands against the side of my face with an obscene smack that makes me feel sick and delighted and dirty all at once.
I moan as he draws me closer to release.
“Yes, what?!” he demands, pulling me up by my hair.
“Yes, professor.”

Chapter: 100 + ELEVEN: The EndAt first I can't even process what he just said to me. It does not hit me for a few full seconds. But when it does, it comes with the force of a sack-full of bricks, and suddenly I feel winded. “I… are you serious?” I ask. “Me?” “Who else?” he muses. He has that look in his eye; the same one I see a thousand times before, the same one I fall in love with a long time ago. Amusement. Interest. Challenge. He eyes me like the question does not benefit him but instead it is meant for me. Ever the analyzer Professor Harlan grins as he watches me put the pieces together, watches me come to the conclusion. “Professor Harlan, I just said I cannot commit to any jobs or grad programs right now.” “You wouldn’t have to,” he tells me, taking my face in his hands, squishing my cheeks a little. “It’s a permanent position. You have all the time in the world to decide.” His face lowers toward mine. I stop breathing. “We have all the time in the world.”

Chapter: 100 + TEN: That Ship Has Long SailedSIX MONTHS LATER A year and a half ago, I never would have thought that my former English Literature professor would be my plus one. To literally any function. I never imagined I would live to see that day. But there I am; a year and a half after he asked me to stay behind after class on a fated fall afternoon. We stand toward the back of the crowd as Milo and Jax walk hand-in-hand down the ivory rug that stretches from the door of the venue all the way to a Deep Dodge Cherokee. Jax’s doing, no doubt. “Just Married” is written sloppily on the rear window. Empty beer cans are tied to the back of the vehicle. I hold up a sparkler in my hand, as do almost all of the other wedding guests. Professor Harlan stands there emptyhanded but peaceful. His face is gentle and soft. Miles away from where he was when I first met him. Over the past six months I have been able to put some distance between myself and the university. It is a risk taking him to the wedding,

And I am melting beneath his grip.He releases me with one hand only to trail the hem of my panties. “You’re mine,” he reminds me. “I think I need to be sure the message sinks in.” He pulls away, studying my face.

You already know that you’re mine.”His hands trail upward. The moment they encase my ribcage is the same moment I know I am a lost cause. My eyes flutter shut. And everything else is gone.He captures my mouth, drawing me in, arms encircling my body. My breath hitches, my mind melts, and the only sensation that enraptures me as much as the kiss is the feeling of every nerve in my body standing on end, sparking within my skin.He grips me tighter. I claw at his collar, pressing him equally as hard against me.

“Please,” she whispered, desperation cracking her voice. “Please, Chase.”
“Begging already?” His voice was cruel, his fingers circling faster, pushing her to the edge. “I'm not even nearly done with you yet.”
She squeezed her eyes shut, the recruit’s muffled cries and the whip’s crack filling her ears, amplifying her need. Chase’s fingers were relentless, stroking her clit, and dipping inside just enough to tease.
“Please,” she whimpered, louder now, her hands gripping his shoulders. “I’m sorry. I won’t lie again. I’ll be good. Please, let me cum.”
He chuckled, his lips brushing her neck. “Not yet, baby. Fight it.”
Her body screamed, every nerve on fire, the recruit’s struggles mirroring her own. The girl’s master groaned, close to release, as Lila’s whip landed again and again on her ass.
Emma’s head felt like it was about to explode under the pressure, her thighs shook with the effort to conceal it, her pleas spilling out. “Please, Chase, I can’t hold it any longer… I need it."

Chapter: VIKING'S PRIZE (III)His strong fingers laced through her hair, tugging on it, pulling her head back, forcing her to look up at him. "Mitt damer," he spat. Those eyes were glazed, had darkened to an almost blue black. She shivered and was about to ask him what they meant.But he pulled harder on her hair, forced her backwards, her feet moving tentatively backwards. Then she felt something solid at the back of her thighs, opened her mouth once more to speak, but he covered it instantly, another of those scorching kisses that seemed to go on and on, stealing her every thought. Except this time she was falling, actually falling. Then a cloud came up to cushion her fall, surrounded her in its softness while it trapped her against his hardness. She moaned into his mouth as his tongue plunged down her throat.She felt his hands about her waist, realized that he was battling with her skirt and tights.

"It has been nice meeting you though."He frowned, the move sent deep creases into his striking face. He was not handsome in the traditional sense. At almost forty, his skin was weathered by his job, small pathways of wrinkles about his mouth and across his forehead. His hair was longer than she had thought, falling just below his shoulder blades. His lips that she could not stop watching as he spoke were surrounded by a goatee and moustache. But it was those eyes still that Kirsty could not forget.Not just the intense shade of blue or the twinkle when he laughed, which she got the feeling he did not do nearly enough, but there was something more.

Chapter: BOOK FIFTY: VIKING'S PRIZECONTENT WARNING: This story contains explicit BDSM-themed erotica involving power imbalance, dominance/submission dynamics, non-consensual undertones in initial encounter, bondage, forced stripping, groping, nipple play, fingering, ear biting, and coercion elements.

Traveling over two hours outside of London to meet a stranger, whom she had been emailing for three months, was so unlike the sedate young professional. But after a disastrous break-up with her boyfriend of six years, the twenty-eight year old had decided to make drastic changes to her life.Well, probably not drastic to most people. She had no plans to change her career, her work as an Occupational Therapist for children with autism was emotionally and financially rewarding.

His cock pressed to the hole of her pussy, it made Billie breathless. She'd heard him say those words a couple times today, but it was so different now that he was saying them to her.She nodded vehemently. "Yes Father." In that moment, she knew this was what she needed, she wanted God's love so bad.The Great Father thrust his cock into Billie's pussy and every feeling she'd had for the last couple hours rushed to the surface. It hurt, too, she felt something break inside her and let out a scream at the pain and pressure. But as he kept pounding into her, faster and faster, the pain sharpened into something good. Pain was good too, she thought, remembering what he'd said to Deanna.

The Great Father praised her, kneeling on the mattress between her spread legs. He pushed her dress over her hips so all the girls could see their friend's pussy, now bare of hair and glistening pink. His hands went to his pants and he undid them, pushing them down to his thighs. Billie watched carefully, still uncertain what he was doing.

Bound To The Alpha, Claimed By The Vampire
“Why does everyone assume I need a tragic backstory to justify what I am?” Adrian said, strolling slowly toward me like he had all the time in the world.
His eyes locked on mine as he continued, “Oh no, honey. It isn't because mummy dearest died giving birth to me. Or because dear old dad was too busy to tuck me in at night"
He stopped when he was directly in front of me. So close that his tall frame was towering intimidatingly over me.
I lifted my chin stubbornly to look him in the eye, refusing to cower.
He smirked at that, his hand going to swipe a stray strand of hair from my face.
“Some of us,” he murmured, “are not broken.”
His eyes darkened.
“Some of us are just simply… evil.”

I was dragged to the execution block in chains, accused of being a monster the world had erased.
Then the Alpha's wolf claimed me as mate and forced him to halt the execution.
In a world where hybrids were hunted to extinction, I was the last mistake left alive. The last thing Lucien Dreadmoor wanted was his mate being the single weapon that could completely wipe out wolves from existence. The bond tied us together anyway, trapping me in his keep, his rules, his control.
He called it protection.
I called it a cage.
As war stirs at the borders and a vampire prince begins circling, whispers spread that my blood could start another war… or end it.
The Alpha wants to break the bond.
The Vampire wants to claim me.
And somewhere between fate and freedom, I must decide which monster I am willing to stand beside… and which one I am willing to become.

Chapter: #24: NoraThe forest air was slowly cutting through the haze in my head as I sat on that fallen log with my knees pulled tight to my chest. I'd been out here for hours, maybe longer, letting the quiet swallow the noise of the keep. The pack's stares, the whispers, Lucien's sudden distance all pressed too close inside those stone walls. Out here at least, I could breathe without feeling like every inhale came with judgment.Lucien had barely looked at me since that night.Not avoidance in the obvious way. Not cruelty exactly... worse. It was distance wrapped in duty, and politeness edged with restraint. The kind of careful that made me feel like a problem he was managing rather than a person he wanted near him. I would have preferred anger. At least anger acknowledged presence.“Ridiculous,” I muttered to myself, dragging a hand down my face.I kicked at a stone, sending it skittering across the dirt.

Chapter: #23: LucienLucienThe ride to the border took less than two hours at a hard gallop, but it felt longer. The wind carried the stench of old blood and rot, long before the village came into view. Lucien’s warriors rode in tight formation behind him, silent except for the creak of leather and the thud of hooves. No one spoke. They all knew what they would find.Stonehaven, the human settlement, lay sprawled across the river bend, its thatched roofs and stone walls usually bustling with traders and spice merchants, was now perfectly still and quiet.“Gods,” one of the warriors muttered under his breath as they reined in at the edge of the village just as the sun dipped low enough to stain the horizon red.Lucien did not respond. He swung down from his horse and stood there for a moment, letting his eyes take it in, letting the Alpha in him catalogue every detail whether he wanted to or not. Bodies hung from the branches of the old oak at the village centre, arranged in perfect circles, arms outstre

Alphas did not simply vanish from their own keeps, especially not after making such a calculated display of power. But he may as well have. Every corridor I turned down, every chamber I stepped into, every council hall I tried to breach ended the same way, with a guard shifting just slightly into my path and delivering the same rehearsed line as if it had been carved into the inside of their skulls. “The Alpha is currently preoccupied.” The first time, I smiled and thanked them, because I was still foolish enough to believe it was temporary. The second time, I asked what exactly he was preoccupied with, because curiosity has always been one of my sharper habits. The third time, I stopped smiling altogether.

Phantom touches ghosted over my thighs, echoing his hands last night. I shivered and shoved the sensation away. He'd left without a word.

His bow was flawless, first to Lucien, then to me, and when he straightened, his smile carried all the confidence of someone who knew exactly how beautiful he was."Prince Adrian sends his regards," he said, voice smooth and cultured.

Even the fires in the hearths seemed to pause, as though they, too, were waiting to see who would be stupid enough to move first.I stood beside Lucien on the dais, the silver thread still loosely binding our wrists from the earlier ritual, and I waited for the explosion.Someone behind me shifted. Someone else swallowed too loudly. A growl rippled through the lower ranks and was quickly smothered.I found myself almost… amused.Lucien had just been publicly challenged in front of the entire pack by one of its oldest elders.
