“Tell me again why you
can’t stay?” he says as we stand in front of the elevator.
“Because it’s just not
a good idea. And I don’t have anything to wear.”
“Actually, you do,” he
says. “Mrs. Naven found some things in the laundry after you left. Problem
solved.” He takes both my hands and backs up into the sitting room.
“Tristan, we still have
some things to sort out. Tonight was great, but I still don’t think I’m cut out
to be your submissive.”
“Just my
submissive?”
I drop my head. “No.
Anyone’s.”
“You’re afraid you’ll
have panic attacks again, aren’t you?”
I feel like I’m about
to be swallowed up by the sincere blue eyes tracking and pinning mine so
effectively I can’t look away. “Yes. And I’m no use to you if I can’t endure
the scenes, particularly the occasional disciplinary consequences.”
“What if there was a
way you could?” His finger traces a gentle path down my cheek.
“What do you mean?”
“Just what I said. If
there was a way we could work around the panic attacks, would you come back?
For good?”
“You mean until you
perfect your exit strategy? That’s what you venture capitalists call it, don’t
you?”
“Ah, someone’s been
paying attention at our semiannual business meetings?”
“I have a rather
exacting mentor who insists on being heard.”
“Asshole,” he says and
pulls me close.
I place my hands on his
chest in an effort to sustain some emotional equilibrium, but he doesn’t let me
go. “I’m the one who’ll be ass-out when you lose confidence in your investment
and decide it’s time to diversify your portfolio again.”
“I don’t think that’s
going to happen anytime soon, Keisha.” He draws me closer, palming my hips, and
I get his point. Pun intended. “I can’t seem to get enough of you.”
I slip out of his arms
and put some space between us. “Chemistry has never been an issue for us,
Tristan. I know your lifestyle is important to you, and I don’t know if I’ll be
able to keep up.”
The truth is, I’m
hopelessly in love with a man who hasn’t given me any indication that he will
ever want a real relationship. Nothing has changed on that front. He still just
wants just a Dominant/submissive relationship, which might enjoy a longevity
his other arrangements haven’t had, but it will eventually end.
Can I really do this? I
certainly don’t think I’ll become any less in love with him over time.
Reentering a sexual relationship with Tristan now would be exceedingly
counterproductive to the reasons I left in the first place, but I am
hard-pressed to make myself walk away again.
Tristan moves so close
behind me that I can feel the warmth of his skin, his breath wafting over my ear
as he speaks. “We’ll take things slow—again.”
He runs a finger along
my arm, and gooseflesh sprouts like ivy in its wake. I feel a pull toward him
that can only be described as magnetic—my body eager to be reunited to his.
Even though it could conceivably be more painful for me this time around, I’m
not sure if leaving him again is within the realm of possibility. I can’t
rationalize staying, but leaving becomes increasingly more difficult with each
second I remain in his presence.
I turn to face him. “Slow
isn’t necessarily going to keep the attacks at bay.” Or guard my heart if he
decides he’s done with me.
“We’ll figure out a way
to do that together.” He takes me into his arms again. “These three weeks have
been ... just please stay.”
I look into his eyes,
and all I want to do at that moment is kiss him senseless. He may not have
given me a declaration of love, but somehow I know this is as close as I’m
going to get with a man like Tristan White. For now.
As an answer, I stand
on my tiptoes, throw my arms around his neck, and kiss him with everything in
me.
***** I received an ARC copy for an honest review *****
Wow just finish reading this book and I love it, when I first started to read this book, I did not know that it was part of a series, but it was all good I enjoy reading it, and I love the characters, I am gone keep this short cause I don't want to give anything away.
I love the chemistry that Keisha and Tristan, have for each other, I really like it how the Kinkiness/Sex when Through the roof, and how Hot it was, I really love it how it was from both point of view, what I like the most is that, The different suspects that it could of been and who it actually turned out to be just threw me for a curve ball. Wasn't expecting that at all.
This is the first book that I read from this author, and I really enjoy it I did say I was gone keep it short cause if I keep writing I might end up giving some spoiler and I don't want to do that , but you really should get to read this book is Hot, the Sex is great and its awesome.
L. V. Lewis is a married, mother of four who lives in South Georgia and works in the Florida Panhandle. A new author who decided stories like Fifty Shades of Grey needed a little more diversity and comedy, penned Fifty Shades of Jungle Fever as a parodied response to those wildly popular books from a woman of color. A voracious reader since Kindergarten, Lewis loves nothing more than to curl up with a good book and a glass of wine. She and her husband are political junkies, a hobby that is time consuming but free. Now that Lewis has teens who think they don’t need their parents anymore, she has taken up another time-draining career of writing. However, she is happy to report, for once, her extra-curricular activity costs far less than her husband’s. Her love for writing is only eclipsed by her love for her family.
