Determination Sans

Contenu explicite réservé aux adultes (+18). "Écarte plus largement ces jolies cuisses pour moi, petite muse", grogne Cassian, sa voix rauque comme du gravier alors qu'il épingle mes poignets au-dessus de ma tête avec une grande main, la cravate en soie mordant juste assez ma peau pour me faire haleter. Son autre main glisse vers le bas, ses doigts plongeant dans ma chaleur détrempante, taquinant des cercles lents qui me font me retourner contre lui comme une chose sauvage. "Regarde-toi, dégoulinant déjà sur mes draps. Tu penses que tu peux gérer ce que je veux vraiment te faire ?" Je gémis, mon corps en feu, chaque nerf réclamant davantage. "S'il te plaît, Cassian... j'ai besoin... oh mon Dieu, oui, juste là !" Mes mots se transforment en gémissement alors qu'il enfonce profondément deux doigts, les recourbant parfaitement, son pouce appuyant sur mon clitoris jusqu'à ce que des étoiles explosent derrière mes yeux. Il se penche plus près, son souffle chaud sur mon cou, mordillant mon lobe d'oreille. "Supplie plus fort, Elara. Dis-moi que tu es à moi, à baiser jusqu'à ce que tu ne te souviennes plus de ton propre nom." *** Elara Voss, étudiante en art fauchée, croule sous les dettes et le désespoir. Ainsi, lorsque l'impitoyable milliardaire de la technologie Cassian Ryder lui offre un demi-million de dollars pour être sa muse pendant trente jours torrides, sans aucune condition, et juste son corps et son âme selon ses conditions, elle accepte sans y réfléchir à deux fois. Qu'est-ce qui démarre lorsqu'un accord glacial éclate en un feu de forêt de passion et de ses règles ? Abandon total. Des liens en soie l'enveloppent étroitement, ses ordres affaiblissent ses genoux et chaque nuit dans son lit lui enlève une autre couche de son innocence, mais Cassian a des secrets profondément enfouis.
