Come
on… Get Mastered at the Den, a place where the wildest fantasies become
reality, lives are transformed, and limits are shattered, a place where six
sensational Doms meet their match in a sexy submissive who will devastate their
defences.
In
the Den, the final book of the highly acclaimed, internationally best-selling Mastered
series from Totally Bound, the stakes will be higher than they have ever been.
Mistress
Catrina Davidson knows what she wants. Independence. Freedom from controlling,
domineering men. But she finds herself drawn to Dom Damien Lowell, in a way
that threatens everything she’s fought for.
Even
among alpha males, Damien is unique. He’s the owner of the Den, a luxury mountain
retreat. And he hasn’t been intrigued by a woman in a very long time. He
demands that his women be both submissive and strong. Who is more perfect than
a woman who’s a Domme in her own right? Is there anything headier than
demanding her surrender?
When
Catrina realizes he has his sights on claiming her, she’s determined to resist
him. But she soon learns it will take all her resolve to deny his overwhelming
persistence.
Excerpt:
He took hold of her hand. He kept his voice low and
well-modulated as he said, “You’re full of surprises.”
“I decided to accept your challenge and try to
submit,” she said, meeting his gaze.
Damien rubbed his thumb pad against the flutter of
her pulse.
“To you,” she clarified.
“Of course it would be to me. This is my domain.”
No way would he stand by and watch her interact with anyone else.
She sighed. “You know you’re arrogant, don’t you?”
“Not usually, no.” Confident, convinced of what he
wanted, determined to get it…yes. But she brought out intense reactions in him
that he wasn’t sure he liked. “I’m not interested in a scene.” He wanted so
much more.
“I understand. That’s why it took me so long to
reach a decision.”
“What convinced you?”
As if hypnotised, she stared at the small circles
he made with his
He stopped rubbing and captured her chin and tipped
her head back slightly. “No hiding.”
“Maybe you can help me learn to be a better Domme.
Maybe the experience will leave me unchanged. But there’s only one way to know.
And…”
He waited.
“I’m curious.” She shrugged. “I liked what happened
at your house. And the fact I enjoyed it scared me, shook me up. Worse, it made
me question everything I’ve assumed over the last few years. Part of me wants
to pretend it never happened. But the truth is, I’m also intrigued. It took me
a long time to reconcile the different thoughts and feelings. How can I be a
strong, independent woman, but then enjoy being in your arms after you spank
me? I’ve spent years depending on only myself. The bigger question to me is…do
I even want to consider a change? I’ve never met a man who was worthy of
trust.” She stared into the bottom of her glass. “And I like my life.”
He waited, allowing the time to stretch in case she
had anything else to say.
A full thirty seconds passed before she met his
gaze. Her eyes were wide, honest. She placed her hands on the table, palms up.
“It meant something when you said you’d always want your subs to come to you.
I’ll be honest. I thought that was a line. Or maybe a nice fantasy. The more I
thought about, the more I thought it sounded like friendship.”
“I like that. Or maybe a partnership.”
“Don’t push it, mister.”
He grinned. Now that she was near, the tension that
had gripped him for two weeks seeped away.
“So I decided I’d talk to you about it and see what
we could work out. I’ll admit I’m intrigued.” She wrinkled her nose. “Damn. And
as much as I hate to admit it, I’ve already learned a thing or two from you.”
“I’m honoured you’d say so. It’s mutual. I’ve
learnt not to assume what you’re thinking. And I’m honing my patience skills.”
“Oh, Damien…” She batted her eyelashes. “You’ve
only just begun.”
