Ferguson awakes alone in Italy, unsure of who she is, and a gorgeous man has

whispering wicked wonderful promises to her, stealing her trust and her heart.

safety. Everything is not how it seems. The truth will shatter her world, but
it can set her free, if it doesn't destroy her first.

~ Excerpt

His hand slides to my back and he leans
me toward the table, forcing me to catch myself on my elbows. He holds me
there, his body cradling mine, his lips a breath from a touch. “I won’t let you
fall.”
“I know,” I say, and I do now. Beyond
time and reason, I trust this man.
His mouth brushes mine and then trails
down my jaw, slowly teasing a path to my ear, where he whispers, “I’m not going
to claim to own you the way he did.” He flattens his hands on my belly,
possessiveness in the touch. “I’m just going to make you wish I did.”
My lips part with the erotic promise, and
he is already kissing me, licking into my mouth, his tongue a sultry, seductive
promise that he can make good on his vow. And while I do not wish anyone to own
me again, I want what he offers in a way that defies reason.
He nips my lips and licks away the sweet
ache, and somehow I feel that lick between my thighs where I am already wet and
aching. His whiskers rasp on my cheek, down my neck to my shoulder, a wicked
burn that is torment and pleasure at the same time. Like he is. His hands
settle on my waist, lingering there, teasing me with all the places they could
go, until finally he is caressing my body, up and down, a slow, sexy, torturous
exploration.
He pinches my nipples again and he is not
gentle, but I do not seem to want gentle. My sex clenches and my knees crush
his hips. His lips curve to a small, satisfied smile that is wickedly sexy, and
rawly male. He leans in and licks one of my throbbing nipples, sending a shiver
down my spine, and I arch upward, the table biting into my elbows, but I do not
care. He is sucking me, dragging deep on the knotted peak, and pleasure tingles
through my nerve endings, my sex, forcing my legs to squeeze his hips again.
My arms tremble with my weight and he
responds without me asking, moving closer and laying me on top of the table. My
spine flattens on the hard surface and he lingers above me. “I want more.”
“More what?”
“Everything,” he says, his lips nuzzling
my ear as he repeats, “Everything, Ella. Can I have it?”
The question affects me, but not as much
as the way he waits, genuinely seeking my approval. He takes power but somehow
gives it to me as well, and this is freedom to me, safety. Things I do not
think I have often felt in my life. “Yes,” I whisper. “Yes.”
He inhales as if my approval surprises
and pleases him, as if it is a gift he relishes, not a property he owns. And it
is then that I give myself the freedom to just let go, the muscles in my body
easing in ways they hadn’t before. I do give him everything. His mouth caresses
mine and he whispers, “That’s what I wanted,” as if he knows I’ve made that
decision.
And already his lips are traveling down
my neck, tongue flicking here and there, his hand caressing, squeezing my
breast. He assaults my senses with pleasure, touching me, kissing me, driving
away my memories and enemies. His whiskers rasp my belly, his lips pressing to
the center, his tongue flickering into my navel, and I tremble with the silent
promise it will soon be where I want it to be. His hand flattens over my sex,
inches lower until he is flicking my clit, back and forth, back and forth.
He lifts my legs to his shoulders,
spreading me wide, and I am vulnerably his, and aroused beyond belief. He
lowers his head, his breath a warm tease on my sensitive places, and I grip the
edge of the table, bracing myself for what is to come. He laps at my nub, the
barely there touch, and I am breathing hard, wishing I could touch him,
incapable of moving, and the muscles of my sex clench so tightly it hurts.
He licks my clit and I am both relieved
and on edge in the same moment, ready for more, for that everything he has
promised me. Another lick follows. Yes, please, more, I think, and as if he’s
heard my silent plea, he gives it to me. His hands slide beneath my backside
and he lifts me to his mouth, and it is nothing shy of sweet bliss when his
mouth closes down around me. He sucks, drawing deeply on my sensitive flesh,
lapping at me, licking me again in all the right ways and right places. I am
panting and moaning, and I barely recognize the sounds as my own. Sensations
ripple through me and when his fingers slide inside me, I am undone, tumbling
into orgasm. The intensity jerks my body and I lose all time and space. It’s
escape, sweet, blissful escape, and he keeps me there, slowly bringing me down,
the licks of his tongue growing softer, slower. Until I am sated, limp, and he
pulls me back onto his lap, my head resting on his shoulder, his hand
flattening between my shoulder blades.
“Everything or nothing,” he whispers, and
this time, I do not believe he is talking about orgasms and pleasure.
I lean back to look at him, and the idea
of what we are becoming is a sweet seduction, threatened by the emptiness of my
past. “What if everything is too much?”
He drags two fingers down my cheek.
“Sweetheart, I don’t have a ceiling. We’re going to find out if you do.”
