Review by pearls
In anticipation of today's post, I read the first tales-- Hawthorn and Juarez's. Now I can't wait to read all the others! Hawthorn's story takes us through the getting-to-know-you stage as each encounter takes them deeper into intimacy. The release provided by BDSM play is highlighted for both the Dom and his sub. Juarez's tale takes the characters on a suspenseful action-filled adventure that fuels their give and take relationship. Trust is huge in this story as both are coming from a place of pain. Together they are able to learn to trust another with their life, body, and souls. I can't wait to see what else this anthology holds in store for me!

Dr. Ember Ross dedicated her life to caring for her patients, always putting her needs last—including her need for submission. Royce Damron has everything he could want in life. The only thing he lacks? The perfect sub. When mutual friends use a new BDSM dating site to set them up, a clueless Royce takes things one step further, intending to keep their encounter an anonymous one-night stand. Unaware the woman he’s spent years pining for waits beneath the hood he insisted she wear, will he miss the sub that got away?
Enjoy this excerpt from The Sub That Got Away by Amy J. Hawthorn
Standing in the bedroom of the hotel’s suite, Ember read
over the instructions for the second time. A warm, not at all unpleasant, flush
stole through her. She’d come this far. She wouldn’t let her fears take this
from her.
Her Dom for the night waited in the other room. As she set
her tote bag in the corner chair, she pondered the steps that brought her here.
On an impulse, she’d given Beth the reins and let her friend do everything
except fill out the preferences questionnaire. Her friend insisted that Ember
at least do that part herself. A couple of days later Beth emailed her a set of
directions from her prospective Dom. She’d looked them over and gave Beth the
green light.
He’d instructed her to come to this hotel, this room and go
immediately to the bedroom. There she’d find her next set of instructions.
He’d also insisted that they stay anonymous for their
encounter.
She agreed. With no thanks to her schedule, she didn’t have
the time to invest in a relationship. Not to mention, it wouldn’t be fair to
her partner. Still, it didn’t mean she had to spend her nights alone.
Laying on the bed next to a black silk hood was a letter
written in neat, bold handwriting. She was to strip down to nothing then put on
the provided matching robe and hood.
How she needed this.
Her fingers trembled as she unbuttoned her top. Work had been brutal over the
past month and a warm bath with even the best book wouldn’t rid her of the
oppressive stress. She just needed a few hours to block out the world. A
desperate, clawing need to be someone else, even for a short time, threatened
to drag her down to her knees.
She removed her bra and freed her breasts. Already they felt
heavy, hypersensitive. She slid down her pants, folded them then placed them on
the chair with her things. Hooking her fingers in the waistband of her panties,
she took a deep breath. She slid them down her legs and bared herself to the
empty room. Though the temperature was comfortable—perfect, even—her nipples
hardened. The thin silk of the robe whispered over her skin as she pulled it
on. The soft material rasped over her beaded nipples and they tingled with
excitement when she pulled the robe closed and tied the belt around her waist.
She twisted her long hair into a knot at her nape then
pulled the hood over her head, blocking her vision. Dim light came through the
soft fabric and the world became a fuzzy, muted place.
Taking the last instruction to heart, she stood facing the
foot of the bed with her back to the door and waited. Anticipation made her
alert, eager.
Long seconds ticked by.
Please let this be
what I need. Hope beat a dangerous rhythm in her chest. Driven to the point
of desperation, she didn’t know how she’d stand the disappointment if it didn’t
work.
“Good girl.” Sounding quiet, a little rough, and all
masculine, he whispered right into her ear. She hadn’t heard his approach and
wondered how that could be possible. His warm presence bathed her five foot
nine-inch frame. How could someone so large move so quietly?
“Since you followed my directions, we can get to business
even faster.” She held her stance and waited. “Turn around, sub.”
Oh, that voice. The
decadence hidden behind it alone just might make this worth it. She turned
around. Before her stood a tall, broad, shadowy figure. She waited breathlessly
for his next command, eager to hear him again.
Journalist Marianna Banta embarks on a search for a faceless drug lord who gunned down her husband and submissive. When Marianna follows the killer’s bloody trail to Tampa, she finds herself face to face with a man who could derail her quest.
Green Beret MSGT Lars Nielson has returned from the battlefields of the Middle East. Memories of violent, missions have taken up residence in his tortured mind, leaving him broken. He comes to Tampa on a secret quest of his own and finds a challenge. When he takes a job as a bartender at a local BDSM club, he becomes fascinated by the fine art of Shibari, and while tying the intricate knots, his troubled mind finds peace.
When Lars and Marianna meet at her family’s BDSM club, there is an instant attraction they can’t deny. Can Lars coax a lifelong Domme into the coils of his Shibari ropes?

“Mari—“
“Shush, just hold me,” she whispered against his lips.
Without another word, Lars seized her in a hungry kiss.
Liquid heat coursed through every inch of his being and set every nerve on fire
when they connected. He slid his tongue along her upper lip, and she opened to
him. He growled in response, sliding his hand up to her nape where he tangled
his fingers through a handful of her hair. He kissed her deeper, exploring and
savoring the taste of her. He’d hold her; he could spend a lifetime holding
her. No other woman had ever had such a sudden impact on him as Marianna. Even
though every rational thought told him to run the other direction, he defied
it—just like a moth toward the flame that would eventually destroy it. One hand
mapped her body while the other held her secure against him. He squeezed
tighter, and her low, sensual moan let him know he was doing it right.
Wicked thoughts of fucking her once then leaving crept into
his mind. She would be his undoing in so many ways. He broke their kiss. He had
to stop before this situation went completely sideways for him. He cupped her
face hoping she would be the voice of reason.
“Do you think this a good idea?” he asked.
“No, I get the feeling we’re both pretty fucked up.”
Who the hell was he kidding? He gripped her shoulder in an
attempt to push her away. Once would never be enough. He had to muster his
control and focus. He still had a job to do. Marianna dug her nails into his
back and gently bit his lower lip.
It was as if she’d thrown gasoline on dying fire.
Something small and dangerous ignited the soul he thought
he’d lost long ago. The simple act of creating pain and pleasure made him react
in a way he never thought possible. Pushing logic away, he gave himself over to
greedy lust. Resistance to her erotic call would be an exercise in futility and
the slight pain of her nails with the bite whispered temptations he’d fought
since seeing her casually sipping a glass of wine. She was the woman of his
dreams, resilient and so taboo, a mystery to unravel and peel back layer by
sweet layer. She was a woman who embodied sin and delight to a degree he hadn’t
allowed himself to imagine was possible.
The call to his dark side was irresistible. He’d disregarded
the appeal of what he’d seen at the club because he didn’t want to understand
it. The honesty of it painfully pointed out the flaws in his relationships with
women. In an instant, Marianna brought it all into crystal clarity. Submission and Domination were a beautiful dance of trust and surrender by both
sides. Lars had been courting the wrong sort of woman. He needed a strong,
determined woman who could take care of herself not a weak, co-dependent,
manipulative bitch who used him to get what she wanted.
He’d find a way to make this work and with a capable,
intelligent partner he’d finally find the peace and happiness that had eluded
him for so long. He’d give his queen the security she needed, and he hoped
she’d give him acceptance he’d never had.
