Chapter 2Ashley gazed at herself in the mirror. She’d escaped to the bathroom for a few moments to collect herself. This wasn’t at all what she’d expected. The intense feelings she had when he controlled how she responded to him. His god, his authoritative tone ... and his stern expression ... it all took her breath away. He was so powerful and masculine.Right now she felt like her world had turned upside down.Dare had made a powerful case. To write an effective article about the Dominant-submissive relationship, she needed to experience it directly.It made sense he’d show her by example, and it wouldn’t have to lead to sex. But the thought of him commanding her taking control Her heart stammered.As much as she’d insisted there would be no sexual relationship between them, she knew that she was in danger of falling under his masculine spell. That she would lose herself completely to the role of being Dare’s submissive, an option that felt all too attractive right now.Once he st

Dare watched Ashley’s car turn into his driveway, then heard her car door close. He glanced at his watch. She was a little early. He put down his book and got up from the chair by the fire in the living room.He’d been looking forward to this all day. Seeing Ashley again. She was delightful and sexy. Last night, he’d sported a huge erection most of the time she’d been here. Even after she’d left, it kept inflating every time he thought of her. When he’d ordered her to kiss him, it had been to see how she would react. She’d said she didn’t want this to be sexual, so he had expected a protest, possibly an outright refusal, but thought it was more likely that she would give him a quick peck. He had not expected her to throw herself into it as she had, her tongue gliding into his mouth with wild abandon. And she’d clearly been turned on.He’d meant to remain distant, but with her soft body pressed against him, her nipples hard against him, he hadn’t been able to help but respond.The doo

Chapter 6Ashley climbed into bed, still stinging from Adam’s rejection. She was sure he’d been as affected by that kiss as she had.She might not have been sure about his interest in her back when she was younger, but she was pretty sure that she’d seen simmering interest in his eyes sometimes when they were together. Like that one time when she went to his place for a swim and she wore that extra skimpy bikini. She had seen a very masculine reaction. She had almost thought he would make a move on her.Jessica’s theory was that Adam was gay, and he just kept his relationships under wraps. Ashley didn’t understand why he would—people in Autumn’s Ridge were pretty accepting—but then she didn’t really buy into the theory. And especially now, after that kiss.She pulled the covers around her. He’d given her reasons. The age thing, his friendship with her brother, the fact he was her boss. But she believed there was more going on than that.She knew something had happened when he was in c

Ashley jerked awake. She didn’t know if seconds or minutes had passed, but she found herself on the bed with the black sheets. She gazed up to see Dare’s face, his expression filled with concern.“Are you okay?” he asked.She wrapped her arms around his neck and stared at him in awe. “That was incredible.”He chuckled. “Well, I have to admit, that’s the first time I made a woman faint.”She laughed, feeling delightfully giddy. “Feel free to do it again anytime.”He laid down beside her and drew her against his naked body. “Believe me. I will.”Ashley sipped her glass of wine as she and Dare sat on the deck in his backyard watching the sunset. She couldn’t believe she’d just had the most incredible sex of her life with this incredibly gorgeous, older man just a half hour ago. God, he was her best friend’s stepfather. And now they were just sitting here drinking wine together.He seemed to take it all in stride, but she was a quivery mess, just trying to keep a calm exterior while they

The last bouquet of long stemmed, white roses has finally arrived and I take a deep breath, relaxed. I had been stressed, snapping at suppliers, friends, and Mark, even when he had tried to help. The heat didn’t help. I fan myself with the order receipt and loosen my wrap dress slightly. I couldn’t even begin to imagine how hot it would be tomorrow, getting married just after noon, wearing my many layers of silk and tulle. I let out a long hot breath and rest my hands against the table with all the roses on it.I didn’t have time to stand around and do nothing. Laura, Chelsea and Kate were coming to pick me up later for the “BIG surprise” hens night celebration, for which I had given clear instructions that NO strippers, NO dick straws and NO embarrassing costume for the bride-to-be were allowed. Of course, in their opinion I was the boring one, not that they ever said that, but I was the innocent one and when I had announced Mark and I was getting married they had not been surprised.
