When
Jessi Crenshaw’s husband Graham dies unexpectedly, she’s
devastated. He’s the only man she’s ever loved. Just eighteen
when she met him, she’s been married to him for twenty-five years.
Now she’s lost her friend, her lover…and her Dominant.
But
as it turns out, Graham had an inkling that his health was in
decline, and he tapped his friend and protégé in the Lifestyle,
firefighter and paramedic Judd Farris, to be Jessi’s Dominant until
she gets back on her feet.
Judd
is determined to fulfill his promise to his friend. But it’s a
damn odd arrangement—a platonic Dom/sub relationship. With her
fiery auburn hair, sparkling green eyes, and audacious spirit, Jessi
captured his attention the first time he ever saw her. At her
husband’s funeral.
A
man could go to hell for the things he’s been thinking. But
they’ve drawn a line, and he’s going to stick to it.
Judd’s
sexy good looks and his gentle confidence aren’t lost on Jessi.
She’s torn between loyalty to the man she loved, and desire for the
man increasingly in her fantasies. In the letter Graham left for
her, he mentioned that she might find Judd attractive. But that’s
simply ridiculous. He’s five years younger than she is. He
couldn’t possibly be interested in her. Could he?
Judd’s
a Dom without a sub, and Jessi’s a sub without a Dom. It’s
perfect for the time being. Could it be that Graham had more in mind
than merely a temporary solution?
And
could it all end at the hands of a madman?

Excerpt::
Flickering
candlelight greeted them as they entered the bedroom, and Jessi saw
various implements lined up on the bed. She looked to Judd.
“I
wanted to create the right mood, Angel. Candles seemed the way to
go.”
Slowly
she approached the bed and lightly fingered what she saw there--a
black leather crop, a rectangular paddle also of black leather, a
black suede flogger, and a wooden spoon. Judd stepped beside her and
slid off his black leather belt, adding it to the assortment.
When
she turned to him, his expression was bemused. “Told you I went
shopping,” he laughed. “Now, you’ve been such a good girl, I’m
going to let you choose what I’m using to spank you with tonight.
So what will it be?” He stepped back and folded his arms across
his chest, waiting to see her response.
Jessi
blinked and looked back to the items on the bed. Her head spun with
possibilities, but suddenly she knew the answer. Dropping to her
knees, she grasped her wrists behind her back and bowed her head.
“Whichever one would please you, Sir.”
“Angel,
you please me more than I can say.” He stroked her hair lovingly,
then removed his shirt, tossing it into the bathroom.
“I
think…” He reached down to help her stand, tugging at the dress
gathered around her waist to pull it the rest of the way down. “I
think we’ll get the biggest bang for our buck…or your butt,” he
grinned, “with the paddle. I want you to stand at the end of the
bed and lean over.”
Jessi
complied, resting her torso on the bed, her head turned toward the
slider overlooking the beach and the ocean beyond. In the dim light,
she could also see herself, naked and bent over the end of the bed,
reflected in the white sheer-shrouded glass. Her expression was
wanton, needy. And she felt immensely happy.
Judd
smoothed his hand over her bare bottom, pausing to tweak the plug.
Jessi gasped at the sensation and felt the need in her core grow.
She yelped when the first smack surprised her, but after that, she
gave herself over to the sensations, the whack on her cheeks, the
vibration in her ass, the tingle in her pussy.
At
some point, Judd put down the paddle and used his hands to smooth
away the sting. “Up on the bed and on your knees, Angel.”
Jessi
complied, and he turned her to face the bank of glass. “Head up.
I want you to watch as I fuck your cunt.”
She
gasped, her eyes meeting his in the reflection as he impaled her with
no further preamble. He pounded into her, all the while fidgeting
with the red-jeweled flange of the butt plug. Jessi felt a release
of fluid she was powerless to stop.
“Come
when you’re ready, Angel. You’ve earned it,” Judd coaxed.
Needing
no further encouragement, Jessi cried out as ecstasy overtook her,
starting in her drenched core and radiating throughout her body.
“Good
girl,” Judd murmured as her shuddering subsided. He leaned forward
to kiss her shoulder. “But we’re not done quite yet. I’m
still taking your ass tonight.”
Gently,
he helped her down to her belly and slid her to the edge of the bed
so that her feet rested on the floor. Using his foot, he pushed her
feet wide, and he carefully removed the butt plug, wrapping it in a
waiting towel. “What’s your color, Angel?”
She
heard concern in his voice. “Um, green, Sir. I’m good.”
“Good.
Very good.”
Next,
Jessi felt a cool dollop of lube at the top of her crack and Judd
massaged it around the hole the plug had vacated. That was followed
by the pressure of Judd’s cock pushing at her entrance. “Breathe,
Angel. Just relax and breathe.”
Jessi
did just that, closing her eyes and focusing on the renewed sensation
in her pussy as Judd pushed his way into her back hole. When his
head pushed past her taut ring, he stopped, giving her a chance to
acclimate before he pushed forward.
Jessi
raised her head, seeking out his eyes in the glass door. She watched
as he slowly pushed himself in to the root, and she saw his chest
hitch as he forced himself to hold still again. At the question in
his eyes, she nodded, and he gave her the full force of him,
withdrawing abruptly, then slamming back into her, pounding her tight
passage. He pulled her to her knees to gain better purchase, his
balls slapping against her clit with every charge, and she felt her
moment building again.
“Come
with me, Jessi. I want us to come together,” he grunted, as he
released himself for the second time that night.
Jessi
saw sparks and screamed out her pleasure, continuing to shake as he
slid from her grasp and collapsed onto the bed. Judd gathered her to
himself, wrapping her in his arms as they both gasped for air. She
snuggled in to his chest and he lightly kissed her temple. “I’m
yours,” she whispered.
“Yes,
you are. You’re mine, Jessi.”
Excerpt Choice Two
Jessi’s
hands shook. With her index finger, she traced the writing on the
front of the envelope. She glanced out the back door to see Judd
kick off his shoes and sit on the edge of the pool, sinking his feet
in the water. Buddy flopped down beside him and rolled over, wanting
his tummy scratched, and Judd obliged.
She
turned her attention back to the envelope. Her irrational self told
her that if she didn’t open it, somehow everything could go back to
normal. But curiosity won the moment, and she slid her thumb under
the flap and carefully opened the letter.
My
dearest Sparrow,
I’m
so sorry I’m not there with you. I can feel my heart beginning to
wear out. Please don’t be angry with me for not telling you, I
know how you worry about things. We’ve had a good life together.
I’ve told you before and I’m telling you again, you are the best
thing that ever happened to me. The fact that you are the mother of
my children amazes the hell out of me. What did I ever do to deserve
such a terrific family?
Jessi
reached up to wipe a silent tear from her cheek. Self-consciously,
she flicked her eyes out to the pool deck to find that Judd was
watching her intently, and he flashed a sympathetic smile. Sniffing,
she read on.
It
would be pointless, I suppose, to tell you not to mourn. Just don’t
do it too long. And don’t you dare wear black. God, I hate all
that maudlin bullshit. Now Sparrow, you and I know that you are a
natural submissive. I don’t want you to feel lost without a
Dominant in your life. I want you to find one, a true Gentleman who
will cherish you in the way you deserve. One who will nurture the
sexy, sensual woman you truly are. Don’t you go back to some kind
of vanilla half-existence. That would really piss me off.
Tears
still streaming, she laughed because she could almost hear Graham’s
voice.
If
you have this letter, you’ve met Judd. I’ve known him for
several years now, and he’s a solid Dominant. I’ve asked him to
check in on you and to take care of some things around the house.
I’ve also asked him to help you out until you find a Dominant of
your own. Judd is willing to give you knee time, Sparrow, to help
you settle your mind and find peace. I don’t mean sex and kink.
He would be a sort of ‘emotional Dominant,’ just until you get
back on your feet.
On
the other hand, if you found yourself attracted to Judd, it would
make me happy knowing that you’d be in good hands. He’s a good
man, Jessi, a gentle man and a Gentleman. He would be a perfect
sexual Dominant for you. I worry thinking about the dangers out
there, Sparrow. You and Judd could make your own way.
Mortified,
Jessi glanced out the back door. Thankfully, Judd was staring out
across the pool. “I can’t believe you’re telling me these
things,” she murmured to herself.
Anyway,
I trust you, Sparrow. You’re smart and strong, and I’m so proud
of you. Never forget that you are absolutely the love of my life.
I’m forever grateful to you for taking my hard, stuffy heart and
helping me to be a better man than I ever dreamed about being. Be
sure the kids know how much I love them. I love you, my Sparrow,
with all my heart. Live happy. Find love and cherish it.
Your
loving husband and Master, G.
Jessi
was completely undone. Sobbing, she folded her arms on the counter
and rested her head on them. She cried until she felt she had no
tears left. Moments passed and she raised her head. It hurt and her
eyes felt puffy. With a glance at Judd and Buddy still sitting by
the pool, she went into the powder room and splashed water on her
face.
Taking
a deep breath, she forced her feet out the back door and across the
pool deck. Judd smiled up at her kindly. “How are you holding
up?”
Jessi
shrugged as she stepped out of her sandals and sat beside him,
slipping her feet into the cool water. They sat without speaking,
each gently sliding feet through the water, watching the ripples
cross the pool and return to them. Judd moved his foot under her leg
and raised her foot to the surface. The fuchsia nail polish was
chipped and peeling.
“How
long since you had a pedicure, Jessi?” he asked gently.
She
moved her foot away and looked at him sharply. “What exactly did
your letter say, Judd?”
He
exhaled forcefully. “Like I said, he was worried about you. He
said that you’re submissive and that you might need somebody in
your life until you find your way.” He glanced at her knowingly.
“When was the last time your mind was quiet, little one?”
A
tear slid down Jessi’s cheek and she swiped at it roughly. “So,
you’re my appointed Dominant, is that it?” she asked testily.
“It’s
not like that.” Judd looked at her steadily. “Graham and I were
friends. We talked about Dominance and submission for hours over the
years. He trusted me. Trusted me with the one thing that meant the
most to him in the world.”
He
paused, gazing at her thoughtfully. “He didn’t want you to run
into the wrong kind of man while you’re looking to ease your mind,
to fill that emptiness that I see in your eyes.” Jessi stubbornly
looked away and swiped at her cheek again.
“You
know, it’s entirely up to you. I’m going to complete the list of
things around your house. I promised him I would. But whether you
accept me as a surrogate Dominant? Only you can decide that.”
He
ran a frustrated hand through his hair. “You miss knee time, I
know you do,” he said softly. “A chance to just let go of all
the concerns that weigh you down.” Jessi turned back to look at
him, her expression softer. “I’m not talking about kinky sex,
tying you up and all that. I’m offering you a chance to clear your
mind of everything, let me carry your burdens for a while.”
“Why?
Why would you do that?” Her voice was strained.
Judd
shrugged. “I’m Dominant. It’s what I crave, to be needed, to
take care of a submissive.” He laughed lightly. “I’m a
Dominant without a submissive, and you’re a submissive without a
Dominant. For the time being, it works out well.”
He
gazed at her steadily, kindness in his brown eyes. “Just say the
word. Do you want knee time, little one?”
Another
tear rolled down her cheek. And she nodded. “Yes,” she
whispered. “I want knee time.”
He
smiled patiently. “Yes, what, little one?”
“Yes,
Master.”
Judd
shook his head. “I’m not your Master, little one. Yes, Sir will
do.”
Unconsciously,
Jessi bowed her head submissively. “Yes, Sir, may I please have
knee time?”
“Yes,
you may,” he responded gently. “There is a big leather chair in
your den. Be kneeling beside the chair in two minutes. Your eyes
will be closed and you will clear your mind. Do you understand,
little one?”
“Yes,
Sir.” Jessi stood and started to walk away, but then turned and
looked at him anxiously. “My clothes, Sir?”
“Your
clothes are fine the way they are,” he answered. “Hurry. I’ll
come to you shortly.”
“Yes,
Sir,” she said, and she hurried into the house.
