The Dom's Invitation (excerpt)

Working Title: The Dom's Invitation Release Date: 2020

EXCERPT... (unedited, so please take that into account)

Standing under the water, I leaned my forehead against the wall, allowing the water to cascade down over my head and shoulders. Our date replayed through my head. But it was overridden with reminiscing about how he’d made me feel last night. Re-living every delicious second. Even the punishment. My very first introduction of corporal punishment that I’d never experienced as a child. It hurt. But waking on his lap, wrapped in his strong arms, with his fingers running through my hair so tenderly, almost made the pain worth it.

My body was craving to feel more of the pleasure he’d showered me in. I had never experienced more than one orgasm during … what should I call it? Foreplay? We never even had sex and I had more orgasms in the one night than I’d ever had having sex for a whole week with my last boyfriend. Goddamn it, I almost grumbled out loud. I’m becoming obsessed. I pushed myself off the wall and quickly washed before I turned off the taps and got out.

After drying myself off, I walked over to my robe and snatched my robe off the hanger, threading my arms through to shrug it up over my shoulders. Pulling the two halves together, I tied the sash in a bow on my way out to the kitchen. I knew I was going to need help with sleep tonight. Or I was going to drive myself crazy with thoughts of Tanner.

The first thing I did when I entered the kitchen was close the blinds. Reaching up, I pulled open a cupboard door and grabbed the container with all my pills and creams. Searching through them, I found the tablets I used when I needed more than a couple hours sleep. Tonight, was definitely one of those nights.

Tossing the pill into my mouth, I put the container away, then opened the fridge to grab a bottle of water. I stood with the fridge door open while I unscrewed the lid and drank a few mouthfuls, swallowing the tablet. Replacing the cap, I put the bottle back on the shelf inside the door. As soon as I closed it and turned around, my eyes were magnetically drawn to the closed blinds.

Just a peek, I promised myself as I walked up to the sink. Reaching out one hand, I used my thumb and index finger between two slats, then opened them up to peek through. “Oh, God,” I moaned aloud when I saw a shirtless Tanner standing in the opened doorway, leaning one hip against the opened bi-fold doors gathered on one side, staring straight up at my window. He was sipping on some sort of drink in a tumbler. Thinking back to the restaurant, I recalled seeing him drink what looked like water, but I knew it was alcohol. “Vodka,” I mumbled with a grin slowly stretching my lips. But Tanner had it neat. Over ice. Movement brought me out of my reverie and I focused back on Tanner. Watching as he lifted his hand, kissed his fingers and blew me a kiss. “Fuck me,” I grumbled, immediately removing my fingers so the slats closed.
