Reilly…
Excerpt:
“Now, as
to the matter of my tail light…”
Panic
gripped her belly at Ethan’s sudden change of tact, her throat drying.
“Want to
tell me about that?”
Lily
panted as his question lingered in the air between them. “I was terrified,” she
conceded, sucking her lip between her teeth in response to the bubble of
energized arousal now simmering at her core. “I’m sorry. I didn’t know what
else to do.”
Ethan
smiled wryly. “You couldn’t just do as you were told, I suppose?” he proffered.
“For once.”
She blew
out a breath. “You said yourself that you overstepped the mark with the trunk,
sir.”
“Maybe.”
His gaze flitted to meet Lily’s for a moment. “Or maybe I just need to bind
your ankles together and make sure you’re secured the next time, eh?”
There was
a dark twinkle in his eyes as he glanced back to the road that sent a dark,
delicious tingle of apprehension running down Lily’s spine.
“Ethan.”
There was
that desperate, breathy tone again, the one he could conjure with just a few
dark words and a glower.
His lips
curled. “I know you hated it.” His voice was quiet now, but somehow, the sound
still caused Lily’s nipples to harden. “But admit it; a part of you loved it,
too, didn’t it? The peril, the powerlessness—it drives you fucking crazy.”
Lily
gulped. “I didn’t love it,” she insisted. “That’s why I broke the light, sir. I
was desperate.”
Ethan
laughed, that ominous timbre Lily recognized all too well. “You always say
you’re desperate,” he reminded her. “That you’re at your limit, that you can’t
take anymore, when what you mean is you just need
someone to push you over it. Make you take more, Make you love it.”
Her heart
thundered at his words. Was he right? Was
that would she needed?
“Someone?”
“Me,” he
clarified. “You need me, little one.”
“But I
can’t live that like,” she replied, though Lily’s voice was so weak that even
she was unconvinced by the response. “Always on the edge. Always afraid.
Always—”
“Aroused?”
Ethan interjected, his eyebrow arching in that way that always sent her
thoughts scattering.
“Right,
sir,” she murmured, her gaze lowering. “I can’t function like that.”
“Says
who?”
Ethan’s
voice was still quiet, but there was an edge to his tone now, and it wasn’t
lost on his wife.
“Sir?”
Lily lifted her chin to look at him again. “What do you mean?”
“I mean,
who says you can’t function like that?” Ethan repeated. “Who made the rules
about how you should live—how we
should live?”
Lily
tucked her hair behind her ear, her gaze shifting to the road ahead.
He had her
there, because she didn’t really have an answer. Who did make those rules?
Where had Lily’s expectations about what their marriage should mean derived
from? Her own parents, perhaps, but then that couldn’t be right, could it? Lily
had spent years pushing against their rules and vowing she’d never become her
mother, spending her evenings ironing and knitting to the sounds of her
father’s crackling radio.
“So, who
then?” he pressed. “If not your parents, then who?”
She
swallowed. “I don’t know, sir, and that’s the truth.”
Ethan’s
hand reached for her, brushing over her fingers lightly. “And that’s the
point,” he said evenly. “There are no rules, Lily. We can live however we
like.”
Lily gazed
down at the large palm so easily encasing her digits. “So long as we don’t
break any laws?”
He snorted
at that, the sound making Lily smile.
“So long
as we don’t get caught,” he corrected her, throwing Lily a wink as he pulled
into a service station.
“Right,”
she mumbled. “My mistake, sir.”
Blurb:
Once upon a time, I was a monster.
A predator who seized women just to get my kicks.
And then along came Lily. Lily—the light that chased my demons away.
Consumed with love for her, I finally put the sins of those torrid times behind me, until one dark day, everything changes.
I’m lured back into the shadows, the monster awoken again and now it will take every ounce of Lily’s submission to pull me back from the brink.
My betrayal sends our lives into a spiral of despair, and with justice looming on the horizon, it’s time we faced The End.
Forbidden is a gripping, powerful, and emotional page turner with a breathtaking climax for fans of dark romance with a twist of true crime. It is the third in The Dark Necessities Prequels trilogy.
