TAKING OVER
Blurb:
Gina’s life was perfect, until the day she realized
the man she loved didn’t love her back. Her charming life turned upside down as
tragedy and cruelty struck her down. She learned to protect her family from
those who could cause them pain, but she inadvertently ensured the perfect life
would be forever out of her reach.
Marcus has hid his love for Gina for years. His
assumptions about her have allowed him to be harsh, but underneath all the
anger is a man deeply in love. The tough realities of her life put them in
position to see themselves in a whole new light. The second chance is right
there and it could take them over the edge into the love they’ve always wanted.

Excerpt:
This
had to be a new record. In less than a minute, he had her loathing herself. It
didn't matter he was working on incorrect data. “Hope not
to see you again.” She waved as she turned to go.
“Wait.”
She
kept moving.
His
hand came down on her shoulder and pulled her around. “When a Master tells you
to wait, you do as you're told. Our personal history doesn't erase protocol. Is
that clear?”
“Yes,
Sir.” Her chest rubbed against his. From under her lashes, she looked up into
his light blue eyes and, for a second, wished she could forget why she hated
him.
“I'm
sorry.” He stepped back and let his hand fall. “You came to this area because
you needed something from the benches. I'm the only one free right now.” He
raised his hand and brushed away the hair hanging in front of her eyes. “I can
give you what you need.”
Once
again, Marcus showed himself as the good guy. She didn’t like him because he
had a tendency to call her out on her mistakes and she was certain he thought
her supposed latest was a doozy, since it ended her marriage.
“That's
nice of you, but it's okay.” She took a step back.
“I
can see that it's not.” He took a step forward. “We can push past our history
and live in this moment.” He grabbed her hand. “Let me help.”
Warmth
gathered in her core. She'd seen this side of him, but they'd never scened together. She tilted her head to
the side and examined him. The first time she gazed into his blue eyes, she
knew he'd cause her problems. He could see the truth through all the mess, not
that he ever tried to understand her. She didn't want to know what he'd see if
he ever took a closer look at her. Fear ticked up her spine. She had a feeling
that he alone would be her undoing.
Desperate
to let go, she knew the sting of a paddle was what she needed, but sometimes it
was hard to separate feelings discovered at the spanking bench. She laughed out
loud. Since there was no way she'd start to care about Marcus now, she decided
to take him up on his offer. After all, she was determined to reach the kind of
release only a good reddened ass could provide.
“Thanks,
Marcus.” She walked to the only free bench and bent over the apparatus, putting
her forearms on the padded rests and grasped the holding bar. Her short skirt
would already be giving him quite a show. For the first time, she wished the
club allowed submissives to wear panties.
“Since
we've never played together, I won't be restraining you. We certainly don't
have that kind of trust. You understand how important it is not to move,
correct?”
“Yes,
Sir, I understand. I won't move.” It pinched her last nerve to call him sir,
but he was doing her a great service. For these few minutes, she'd give him the
respect any Master in this club deserved.
He
flipped her skirt up over her back, exposing her round ass. The paddle brushed
over her lower back, across her hip, and down the length of her leg to her
knee. His hand followed the paddle with a feather touch, allowing a soothing
bliss to spread over her skin.
The
room either quieted or she'd blocked out the noise but she welcomed the peace,
needing to remember why she was there. He repeated the pattern on the other
side, drawing her in with his tenderness. She swallowed against the unwelcomed
thoughts threatening to break her concentration.
“I'll
give you twenty swats. I expect you to count them.”
“Okay.
Thank you, Sir.”
The
paddle rubbed over her right cheek and then smacked against it, rocking her
whole body. The force behind the swat surprised her, this was not her first
mistake. What had she been thinking? Submitting to Marcus was on her list of
things to never try. She had to give
him more credit. He'd caught her off her game.
“We'll
start back at one each time you forget to count.” He smacked her other cheek.
“One.
Sorry, Sir.”
“Not
as sorry as your ass will be if you forget again.” He dragged the paddle along
her skin in the same figure as before, spreading the sensitivity. “I have no
problem paddling your ass all night.” He smacked her right cheek again.
“Two...three...four.”
Somewhere over the next couple of swats, Gina remembered why she'd come back
into the club tonight. Her knuckles turned white with the force of her grip.
She gulped in a breath of air and waited for the next hit to land with its punishing
kiss of heat, but none came. Marcus stepped into her line of sight, just out of
reach. The paddle was no longer in his hand.
“I'll
keep counting, Sir. Please, I need this.”
He
lowered himself beside her and reached out to caress her fingers until she
released her strangle hold. “I'll finish, after I've determined you're in the
right frame of mind.”
