Cara stepped off the supply boat onto the narrow dock and the wind immediately whipped her hair across her face. The island felt smaller than the photos suggested. Eleven acres of rock and grass and one tall white tower cutting into the grey sky. She adjusted the strap of her bag on her shoulder and looked up the path.

Eli Marsh was waiting at the top.

The second she saw him, something low and sharp hit her in the stomach. He was tall, broad-shouldered, built like someone who worked with his ha

  • Every Shade Of Desire (Erotica collection)   Chapter 26: The Bet (His sex slave)

    Nate knew he was completely fucked the second Zara laughed at him across the takeout containers.She was curled up on the couch in those old gray sweatpants, legs tucked under her, wine glass in one hand, phone in the other like it was an extension of her body. She’d been scrolling for the last twenty minutes while they ate, and something about it tonight — the constant thumb movement, the little frown between her brows — just hit him wrong.“You’re on that thing again,” he said.She didn’t even look up. “You’re the one who spent twenty minutes flirting with the delivery girl.”“I was being polite.”“You told her she had a nice smile and asked if she was new in the building.”Jesus Christ. Nate rubbed the back of his neck. “It’s called being friendly, Zara.”She finally looked at him. Those sharp eyes. The kind that saw straight through bullshit. “Friendly. Sure.”The argument built fast. Easy. Familiar. But tonight it felt different. Sharper. Like they were both poking at something t

    I woke up with her body pressed against mine and for the first time in months my chest didn’t feel hollow.Rhea was still asleep, face tucked into my neck, one leg thrown over mine. Her breathing was slow and warm against my skin. The sleeping bag had us trapped close together, skin on skin, and I could feel every inch of her. The soft weight of her breast against my chest. The curve of her hip under my hand. The way her thigh rested right against my cock, which was already hard again. Aching.Jesus Christ. What the hell did we do last night?I should feel guilty. I should be pulling away, putting distance between us, remembering she’s my guide and this was supposed to be a fucking therapy trip. Instead I tightened my arm around her waist and breathed her in. She smelled like sweat and smoke and something sweet that made my chest hurt in a good way. After fourteen months of nothing but my own hand and bad memories, having her here felt like oxygen.She stirred. Made this soft little s

    The rockslide came out of nowhere.One second we were moving steady along the narrow ledge, Rhea in front setting that efficient pace she always did. The next, the ground just… gave. A low rumble, then rocks tumbling. I heard her shout my name and felt her hands shove me hard sideways. I hit the dirt, rolled, came up gasping. She took the worst of it. Her pack absorbed most of the impact but the sleeping bag strapped to the outside was shredded. The tent pole bent like a cheap straw.She was already on her feet, breathing hard, assessing damage like it was just another problem to solve. Professional. Calm. But I saw the way her hands shook for half a second before she clenched them.“You okay?” I asked, voice rough.“Fine.” She didn’t look at me. “Standard shit. We adapt.”But it wasn’t fine. One sleeping bag. Temperatures dropping fast. The forecast had been wrong. Again.The rest of the afternoon was a blur of practical work. Reinforcing the damaged tent. Building a bigger fire. Mov

    Marcus stood at the trailhead at 6am, backpack straps already digging into his shoulders, wondering what the hell he was doing out here. His therapist had said “do something that scares you.” Mountains scared him. Being alone with his thoughts scared him more. So here he was.Then she stepped out of the truck.Rhea Donovan.The second he saw her, something in his chest tightened hard. She was strong. Not in that gym way — real, practical strength. Shoulders that carried weight like it was nothing. Thighs that flexed visibly under her hiking pants as she moved. Dark hair pulled back, sharp eyes that looked like they missed nothing. She was beautiful in a way that hit him low and sudden, like a punch he didn’t see coming.His cock twitched in his pants. Hard. Instant. He shifted his weight, trying to adjust without being obvious. Jesus Christ. Get it together, man. She’s your guide. This is not why you’re here.“Marcus Webb?” Her voice was clear. Professional. Confident.“Yeah. That’s m

    Cara woke to the sound of rain still hitting the windows, softer now but steady. The storm hadn’t passed. Eli’s arm was heavy across her waist, his chest warm against her back. She lay there for a long minute, heart beating too fast, feeling the solid weight of him. Nine years alone in this place and he slept like someone who finally had something to hold onto.*What the hell am I doing? I should slip out. Make coffee. Pretend last night was just the storm.*But she didn’t move. She turned slowly in his arms instead. His eyes were already open, watching her. That quiet intensity that made her stomach twist.“Morning,” he said, voice rough from sleep.She didn’t answer with words. Just leaned in and kissed him. Slow at first. Testing. Then deeper when he kissed her back, hand sliding into her hair. The kiss turned hungry fast. Like neither of them had gotten enough last night. Like they might never get enough.His hand moved down her body, rough palm on her skin. She shivered. Pressed

    The wind slammed against the lighthouse like it wanted in. Cara sat on the edge of the couch in the small living area, knees pulled up, trying to look like she wasn’t rattled. The power had flickered twice already. Each time the lights dimmed, her stomach twisted tighter. She wasn’t scared of storms usually. But this one felt personal. Like the island itself was closing in.Eli had been checking things for the last hour. Moving through the rooms with that quiet certainty of his. She kept catching glimpses of him — broad shoulders in the doorway, the way his jaw flexed when he listened to the wind. Every time their eyes met she felt it low in her belly. Heavy. Aching.She hated how aware she was of him. Nine years out here alone and he still moved like he knew exactly what he was doing. The kind of man who didn’t need anyone. It made something in her chest hurt in a way she didn’t want to name.Another flicker. The lights went out for three full seconds this time. When they came back,
