“In my purse, why?”
“Your time’s up tomorrow. We’ll start the paperwork to get you a full membership if that’s what you want. With your correct last name this time?”
Emotion threatened again as she bit her lip. She buried her face in his neck and squeezed him tight. “Harris. My last name is Harris.”
He chuckled. “I’ll take that as a yes, Laila Harris. One last thing to discuss before I take you again.”
She straightened and stared down at him, curious why he sounded so serious all of a sudden.
“Do you want to be listed as a single sub, or…” She looked around at the other two men, men who had her heart from the very first moment she sat at their bar. They looked just as hopeful as she felt inside. Knowing they were taking the first step together into something beautiful and amazing and perfect.
She bit her lip, unable to contain her joy. A giggle slipped free, light and full of hope and promise.
She kissed each of them, wondering how she’d gotten so lucky. She pushed off Douglas’ lap, loving the feel of his rough legs against her thighs.
She took several steps away, emboldened by the looks of lust they shot her.
Kneeling at their feet hadn’t ever felt so right and natural as it did in that moment between them.
She closed her eyes, clasped her hands behind her back, spreading her thighs wide so they could see exactly how ready she was to be taken again.
And the woman deep inside?
The one she’d almost crushed with her fear and uncertainty?
Her position was the same. A mirrored pose of submission and acceptance and a freedom she would never again run away from.
Laila blinked, focusing on the men in front of her. Men she trusted and lusted after and respected, because they knew what she needed no matter how she floundered.
They would guide her, direct her and take everything they needed along the way.
Only one thing needed to be said.
“I like the sound of or—Sirs.”
About Jennifer Kacey
I’m going to just jump right in and get the easy stuff out of the way up-front. I am a wife, mother and business owner in Texas with very long black hair and a penchant for high heels and pretty outrageous toe nail polish. I have a very supportive family that I love unconditionally and am fortunate enough to genuinely like and respect them as well.
I started reading romance back in college, liked it so-so, and then I found erotica. Stories a bit on the dark side, a lot on the naughty side, and at the risk of sounding cheesy, it felt like coming home. Finding a genre made just for minds like mine was an amazing revelation, and I swear the characters in my head haven’t stopped hounding me since!
Something I always love reading about other authors are the funny quirks and idiosyncrasies that make each of us unique, so I thought I’d share a few of mine. These are in no particular order and pretty random, so brace yourselves…
I am a morning person who doesn’t drink caffeine, and I am definitely a glass-half-full kind of girl. I have an extreme case of being left-hand stupid and am bad at all sports that end in “ball”! Hot weather is my favorite because I'm cold all the time, and I adore lying in the sun. You’ll find a closed sign hanging off my forehead at 10 p.m. pretty much every night when my brain clocks out. What’s weird is I can write ‘til the wee hours of the morning though. Probably because the characters just shove me aside so they can say their piece.
Ooh, and I never procrastinate! If something needs to be done today, it should have been finished yesterday. I call this fantastic; several people, who shall remain nameless, call it having a bug up my A**… I think I’ll stick with fantastic.
I refuse to use a flat sheet to sleep, I love perfume but only one kind, and before I die I want to own flip-flops in every color of the rainbow. And last but not least, the yea or nay on a particular food being deemed good or gross is based off of texture first, taste second.
I hope my writing speaks for itself, and I hope it speaks to you. The fact that I have the opportunity to share a little piece of myself with you absolutely floors me. On a daily basis I am overwhelmed by the good fortune that is my life, and vowed years ago never to take it for granted.
Best advice I’ve ever been given – find the real you and never settle for anything less! Well guess what? I found her! Lord help the rest of you.
