His Secret - Portia Da Costa - Excerpt #1

Her heart thud-a-thudding, she opened the bathroom door.

Ben was lying on the bed, fully clothed and reading a magazine. He had a glass in his hand that contained an inch of amber fluid she guessed was whisky, and as she entered, he put it to his lips and took a leisurely sip. His eyes were on her though, staring over the rim at her intently as he swallowed.

He looked like a young god idly perusing his lowly subject.

“I thought we’d take a late dinner,” he said casually, then took another sip of his drink. “Unless you’re hungry now?”

Only for you. Only for you.

“I… er… I’m fine. Thanks.”

The answer sounded woefully incomplete, as if there should have been more.

It was astonishing how easy it would have been to add the word “master.”

“Good!” he said with a strangely satisfied smile, then he finished his whisky, set the glass aside, and sprang lightly to his feet. “I think I’ll freshen up. I won’t be a moment.”

As he walked toward the bathroom, he paused and looked back pointedly at the magazine on the bed.

He wants me to read it.

Then, with another small, knowing smile, he disappeared, closing the door behind him with a decisive snick.

For a moment, Sarah was frozen in place. Why was she afraid of a magazine? She’d read that book Maggie had been passing around, and this was only the same sort of thing, but with pictures. What was wrong with her, why was she being such a scaredy-cat?

But the shiny pages seemed to reach out and taunt her from across the room. Still not looking at it, she grabbed Ben’s glass, sloshed a little more whisky into it, and gulped the drink down, making herself cough. Panicking, she refilled it with water and sipped a bit of that, slowly. She didn’t want to get tipsy by mixing spirits with the champagne already in her.

When she sat down and started to flick through the pages, she discovered that the magazine was exactly what she’d feared—hoped?—it might be.

It was a bondage journal.

Full of erotic corporal punishment.

A high-quality, beautifully produced publication, but a spanking magazine nevertheless.

As she perused an image of an exotic dark-haired woman in a black corset draped across a stern-looking man’s knee and being spanked, everything about her confused feelings for Ben dropped perfectly into place. And her reaction to the tap on her rump made crystal-clear sense.

This is it. Exactly it. This is what he really likes. And so do I… I think.

The sound of the bathroom door opening made her jump physically into the air and sent the magazine slithering to the floor. Ben walked swiftly across, picked it up, and studied the same image Sarah had been looking at. He’d removed his tie, she noticed, and unbuttoned his waistcoat and rolled up the sleeves of his shirt.

Her heart did a flip as he closed the magazine, set it on the bedside table, and sat down beside her.

“I guess you know what I want now, don’t you?” His brown eyes were luminous, like the whisky with a brilliant light shining through it.

Sarah’s tongue cleaved to the roof of her mouth, but after a moment, she managed to gasp, “Yes!”

Ben’s eyes were unwavering upon her, searching, searching.

“It’s your choice, Sarah… I don’t want us to do anything you don’t like. We can simply have a delightful weekend here… relax, walk, enjoy good food and wine”—he paused for a second—“make love… Nothing more than that.”

She found her voice again. “But this…” She gestured to the magazine. “This is what you want, isn’t it?”

His shoulders lifted in the slightest of shrugs. “It is… it is…”

The air in the room seemed heavy and difficult to draw in. But Sarah pulled in a lungful of it, straightened her spine, and looked at him as bravely as she could.

“Then I want it too.”

My Thoughts:

I read almost all of these books and let me tell you, whoo wee! These are adult only reads if you haven't already figured it out!

If you want to try out various types of erotic reading this sample will be perfect for you. There are books with menages, spanking, alpha males, dominating females, bosses with balls, toys, secrets, etc.... Truly, there is something for every erotic book lover. Most of these books are about 4 chapters and very quick reads. There are a few that have more though and these were my favorites because I am greedy and you won't catch me complaining about more pages.

Working Out was my favorite and I believe the longest book in this selection. I liked each of the books that I read though. If I had gotten the book sooner or not been in the middle of reading it when a family friend passed away, I definitely would have finished. As you can imagine, receiving that news killed the mood and I can only read when the mood fits the material. If I try to force it, I end up not liking what I'm reading because it is not what I'm in the mood or mind frame for. Do you understand?

Anyway, what I was trying to explain was simply that the reason that I didn't finish was not because anything was wrong with any of the books. I highly doubt that when considering each of the ones that I did read.

These books were highly erotic, super sexy and great for getting you in the mood for some good lovin of your own.

If you like your reads fast and hot, or if you want to try something new and don't know if you'll like it, this compilation is a great choice for you. You can't beat the price or the selection!

I received an ecopy in exchange for my honest opinion.  Have a fire extinguisher near when reading these books in case of self combustion! They are scorching hot!
