I'm so delighted to share this cover with you all.
In his Hands is out tomorrow Thursday 3rd August.
It's set in my favourite city in the word Hong Kong.
blurb...
In Monsoon season, in Hong
Kong, anything can happen… Even so, the last thing Caness Clacher expected was
to meet a Dom. The very man who made her want to sink to her knees and say,
“Yes, Sir.”
Unbeknown to Caness, Patrick
Lim had waited a long time to claim her as his sub.
Without electricity and with a
monsoon raging, it’s time to explore their desires. Will the elements work in
their favor or not…
Only time—and a scene—will
tell.
She
bowed her head once more, to show him deference. To try to put across the fact
she wasn’t being bratty, just stating her case. “I’m ready, Sir.”
He
got hold of her hand and the action took her arms away from her breasts.
This
time there was no mistaking Patrick’s deep indrawn breath, or the pleasure
reflected in his eyes. “Well, well what have we here? You like a little pain,
pet? Let me oblige.” He bent his head and laved each nipple in turn, before he
grazed the hard nubs with his teeth. Then he tugged on the silver chain that
circled both her nipples and joined her breasts together.
The
little pain was no such thing. It was short, sharp, and bloody hurt. Caness bit
her lip, and he tugged harder. How on Earth she managed not to shoot her fist into
his stomach, she wasn’t sure. She’d thought he’d be pleased to see her ready
and with the nipple chain on, especially as he’d left it out before he’d read
her limit sheets. It was a new direction for her, and one she’d thought long
and hard about before she decided to try it. The idea intrigued her, but she’d
only given it two because she honestly had no idea if it would work. In fact
when she’d attached it and discovered it did circle her nipples and make them
stand out so well, she’d wanted to touch herself. Make herself come before she
showed him how she looked. One thing had stopped her. The words she’d read in
so many books. The ones where the Dom would say, “Your climax belongs to me,
pet.” The words that made her wet as she wondered just how you could hold back
a climax. But never had she thought he could increase the pain it gave her. Oh god. What if pain isn’t my thing? She
couldn’t help it. Her breathing sped up and she moaned in panic and bit her lip
again, harder than before.
“No
lip biting, pet.” His voice filled her, sent signals to her brain that he was
there for her, and to help her. “You want this. Come on now, breathe through
it. Embrace the sting, it’s your friend. You want to feel it, let it fill you.
Remember you can stop this whenever you want. But do you want to? Don’t you
want to see what happens next? Learn how to fly and all from one little tug.”
He increased the pressure oh so gently. “Else why put it on? Eh, pet.”
“I…”
She shook her head, not knowing how to put her feelings into words.
“Color.”
He snapped the word out and broke through her haze of pain.
“Col…”
She opened her mouth to say red. Surely it had to be, it had to stop so she
could say, “Okay, no more. It’s not my kink, let’s try something else.”
Surely?
“Green.”
Green? Where did that come from?
Probably from the sweet hazy sense of something so indefinable it made her
soar. She wanted more. How that had happened Caness had no idea, and at that
point didn’t much care. She craved that sting, wanted it. Harder sharper, more
intense.
“Green?
Are you sure?” The sting increased as Patrick tugged on the chain. “Be sure,
because if you say green I’m going to bring you to the edge and not let you
fly. Not yet.”
“Yes,
green.” Even in her aroused state she could hear the confirmation in her voice.
“Please, Sir.”
Patrick
laughed softly. “Oh, my pet is ready to go further, is she? Well, let’s see.”
He let go of the chain and took a step back. He held her upright by one hand on
her shoulder and very slowly looked her up and down.
Caness
moaned her disappointment.
His
eyes narrowed. “Did you say something?”
She
gulped. “No, Sir.”
“Good,
because I’m sure your lists said no gagging. From now on it’s silence unless
you safe word, or I say otherwise. If something is bothering you, put your hand
up in the air, or if that’s not possible say, ‘Please, Sir’.”
Lovely cover and fab teaser :-)
