BOUNCE DOWN EXCERPT: Copyright 2014 Lorraine Loveit “How do you feel right now, one word answer?” That was easy, in a word, “Vulnerable.” “Better, it’s a step up from nervous. Are you feeling aroused, yes or no?” It was hard to admit, especially with him standing over me like he was. “I don’t know....” “Yes or no?” After a brief pause, I confessed in a small voice, “Yes.” “Good, come with me.” In a controlled movement he brought me to my feet. He held my bound hands in one of his and grabbed the paperwork with the other. He headed for the stairs, pulling me along behind him. He was forceful yet took the steps at a slow pace so I didn’t stumble. It was an overwhelming experience, heightened by the fact he didn’t speak nor once look back at me.

EXCERPT: Copyright 2015 Lorraine Loveit "He came to me then, kneeling on the bed before me. He grasped my shoulders, supporting me as he bent down for a deep kiss. It was sensual and gentle; not the type of kiss I was expecting. He lifted his head, his eyes watching mine almost like he was assessing if I was ready. I was as ready as I was ever going to be. He stared at me with a smoldering look and casually hooked his thumbs under the shoe-string straps of my nightie to ease them off my shoulders, down to my elbows. He smiled wickedly as he eyed my now-revealed breasts. Not satisfied with me being half-naked, his fingers lazily pushed the straps lower, until they fell from my arms and the red silky garment sat in a pool around me."

EXCERPT: Copyright 2014 Lorraine Loveit “Stand up.” He motioned with his hand as he spoke. A little flutter of excitement coursed through my body; excitement combined with lust. I stood before him as he quietly ordered, “Strip for me.” I raised an eyebrow, to which he nodded. “It’s my body and I want to see it, now.” His tone was light but I knew he was serious. Besides, I was long past feeling embarrassed at being naked while he was still fully clothed. I raised my arms behind my neck and undid the knot which held the white halter top in place; to reveal my white satin strapless bra beneath. I slowly eased the top down my body and over my hips, letting it fall to the floor. My eyes still locked on his, I undid the button, then the zip of my white denim shorts. I pushed them down until they too settled at my feet. I reached behind my back to undo the bra, but he interjected, “Uh-uh, I want to do the rest, later.” I bent to pick up my clothes, as I knew he was a stickler for tidiness. When I had folded and placed them on the table, he stood up. “Wait here.” While I stood there, in nothing but my underwear and strappy white sandals, I lowered my head, simply because it’s what I usually did when awaiting him. Once he returned and his feet were in front of me, he sighed and said, “I love how submissive you can be sometimes. It really turns me on.”

FULL TIME EXCERPT: Copyright 2015 Lorraine Loveit “I want to feel you.” “Sorry baby but I need your hands out of the way.” He sounded like he wanted to have it all his own way. “So you can control me?” “So I can control myself.” He bent down to tenderly kiss my lips. “Because if I let you touch me I’m not going to last long.” I almost whimpered at his confession, he was exercising restraint to put my needs first. He had resumed his assault on my lips whilst twisting and pulling my nipple. I vaguely realised he was wedging my legs apart with one of his knees. Dragging his mouth from mine his sexy eyes stared down at me. “If I release you will you stay as you are?” At my nod he smiled. “If I’m going to pleasure you properly I’ll need my other hand.” To my sheer delight he immediately put it to good use by delving beneath my skirt which had hitched up when he had spread my thighs. It didn’t take his expert fingers long to bypass my knickers to slip inside my wet hole. When he resumed kissing me, the culmination of the three points of erotic contact had me quivering with red hot need; need for this man to be inside me. “Tell me what you want.” He had released my lips and was studying me through passion clouded eyes. “I want you… to make me… come.” Oh god, how desperate did I sound right now. How did he manage to have this power over my body?

TIME ON EXCERPT: Copyright 2015 Lorraine Loveit Standing barefoot before him I only came up to his chest, so clutching the soap tightly I managed to smear some suds over the front of his shoulders. Then working lower I lathered his hard muscular pecks. I glanced up to see him checking me out with a half-smile on his lips, probably seeing that I didn’t miss a spot; there was no chance of that! I moved on to wash under his armpits before tackling each long arm. After spending some time on that flat rock-like stomach, I took a step back. “Turn around.” “You haven’t finished yet.” He looked down and I knew what he was referring to. “That part looks really dirty, I think I’ll leave it ‘til last.” I gave him one of my sexiest smiles. He laughed warmly even as he slowly spun around for me. “Mmm.” It sounded like he enjoyed the way I was massaging the curve of his lower back. I lingered at this spot for a while, tempting and teasing him. I heard his indrawn breath as I slowly moved the soap down over his firm bottom. It felt like there wasn’t even an ounce of fat under my hands; it was all muscle just like the rest of his perfectly sculptured body.

GRAND FINAL EXCERPT: Copyright 2015 Lorraine Loveit He kissed my shoulder and worked his way along my neck to plant a delicious one at the sweet spot that made me melt. It seemed he had always known which buttons to push and this occasion was no different, eliciting a soft moan from my now parted lips. Then his hands travelled down my torso and opening my eyes, with an erotic shudder, I watched them disappear below the foam-covered water. It didn’t take him long to find what he was searching for, with the fingers of one hand reaching between my spread legs. “Oh, Brendon.” “Does that feel good, baby?” Not one but two digits made their way inside me, feeling for my inner core, that tiny bud which gave so much pleasure. “You know it does.” He had continued to kiss me anywhere he could reach, while his fingers played havoc with my senses. “I’ve missed you, Suzanna.”
