I'm so excited to host a snippet of Claiming Crystal by Melody Parks on my blog today! I had the pleasure of getting to hang out with Melody at the SNP retreat in Dallas at the end of last month, and it was great! Congrats on your new release!
Snippet:
The rich sound of his voice and those sexy gray eyes piercing into hers, beckoning her to put aside her inhibitions and explore her darker desires as Miss Harman, sent a spark of arousal through her. She could feel the blush on her cheeks, but ignored it. “Okay,” she said softly, feeling him slip the wine cooler from her fingers, a naughty smile playing at his lips as he turned for a moment, setting it down on the ledge of the partition. When he turned back, she could see the admiration in his eyes, making her belly stir excitedly.
“Are you ready to learn more about your submission… Miss Harman?” he asked, helping her to the small wooden platform that allowed her to lean back against the padded leather while she structured herself to the X-shaped outline of the device.
“Yes, sir.” Her voice held a nervous tremor as she placed her arms, legs, and feet in the appropriate places, settling her head against the padded leather rest.
He stepped up close to the device, its height allowing them to be eye level with each other. “Do you remember your colors?” he asked, gliding his fingers up each of her arms until his hands clasped her wrists.
“Yes,” she breathed, looking at the way his hand engulfed her small wrist.
“How do you feel right now?” His silky tone lingered in her ear as he trailed soft wet kisses all the way to her clavicle.
“Green,” she whimpered, trying to bring her hands up to the sides of his head, having forgotten he held them until she felt his grip tighten.
“We’re not using the restraints, but I want you to keep your hands right where they are.” His lips were millimeters from hers. “I’m going to put the straps in your hands. You will simply hold them, understand?”
“Yes, sir,” she whispered, leaning forward to make contact with his lips, but he pulled back just out of her reach.
“Behave, missy. This is on my terms now.” A coy smile curled his lips as he released her wrists, putting the soft leather straps in her palms. “I’m going to lower you back now. Don’t be alarmed.”
***
After her fear of
commitment brings an abrupt end to yet another relationship, Crystal
Harman knows she is in desperate need of a major change in her life.
With the help of her best friend, that change comes in the form of
Donaven Sharp, the ruggedly gorgeous owner of a remote mountain
retreat called Cobalt Canyon.
Donaven soon
realizes that what Crystal has needed for a long time is a dominant
man to spank her properly and take control both in and out of the
bedroom, and he doesn’t hesitate to put her over his knee for her
first bare-bottom spanking. Though it leaves her blushing, Donaven’s
mastery of her body also leaves Crystal all but trembling with
desire, and his forceful, demanding lovemaking brings her pleasure
like nothing she has ever experienced before.
Donaven is
everything she’s ever wanted in a man—someone who will both take
care of her and discipline her when she needs it—but Crystal
struggles to reconcile her yearning to submit to him with the demands
of her career as a social worker protecting vulnerable women. When
tragedy strikes one of her clients and guilt sends her life into a
tailspin, can Donaven prove to Crystal that they have a future
together and she belongs not only in his bed but also at his side?
