Sin
of Submission
Sin
City Series Book 2
by Kellie Kamryn
Blurb:
UFC fighter, Megan Renard, is having a difficult time
keeping her eye on the prize when she can’t keep her eyes off of her long-time
trainer, Ryan Blake. But changing a relationship that works isn’t a sin she’s
prepared to pay penance for.
Dom Ryan desires to experience Megan’s gift of
submission, yet he knows taking their relationship to another level could have
disastrous effects for her fighting career, not to mention their friendship.
One kiss is all it takes to convince him that heaven in her arms is worth the
devil’s wrath.
Determined to give her an edge in the ring before her
next title fight, Ryan hires Sinclair Reed to train Megan in internal martial
arts. When the FBI show up to question Sinclair on the disappearance of Megan’s
opponent, the couple get caught up in a
world of underground mob clubs, and Ryan comes face to face with a Domme he’d
long tried to forget. Now he fights to protect Megan not only from a lifestyle
he chose to leave, but from her desire to please him at all costs.
When it’s a
fight for your life, submission is a sin.
Excerpt:
Inner fire burned in
Megan’s heart. A result of the recent win, or a pissy attitude because Ryan had
put the kibosh on her sex life for the evening? Did it matter? Her ass pulsed
in reminder of when his hand had connected with her flesh back at the airport.
She wouldn’t let that go unchallenged.
Shifting to rest one hip against the door of his vehicle, she crossed
her arms over her chest, bunching what little cleavage she had. The action had
the desired effect. His eyes raked her body so quick, if she’d have blinked,
she would have missed it.
Eyes narrowed, he stalked toward her and stopped, looming over her.
Ryan didn’t say a word, nor did he reach for her. Her heart thumped in her
chest. They’d flirted on occasion. His compliments and affection were always
genuine. And for some goddamn reason, she wanted to up the stakes, see if the
physical attraction was one-sided or not.
Tipping her chin up, she kept her eyes fixed on his, stomach dancing a
nervous jig. Megan hadn’t gotten to where she had in life by waiting for other
people to give her what she wanted. “I really want you to kiss me.”
“I know.”
His gruff response surprised her, causing a mixed reaction in her
belly. Desire burned low in her core, and one corner of her mouth kicked up in
a half smile. Before she could say anything, Ryan cupped her cheeks in his
hands, and brought his face down to hers. For a moment, their breath mingled.
Then his lips came down hard on hers, his kiss demanding she open her mouth to
accept his passion. When his tongue invaded, her head swam.
She clutched at his forearms, kissing him back with equal abandon. Ryan
pressed her back into the vehicle, his hard body dominating hers; captive with
no wish to be free. He pulled back to break the kiss, then pressed his lips
hard against hers before putting real distance between them.
Even though he’d created a good foot of space between their bodies, he
continued to cradle her face in his hands. Megan blinked to clear the fog of
lust from her brain.
Ryan arched a brow. “Satisfied?”
“Uh…yeah…” She cleared her throat to give herself a moment to gather
her wits. Why had he made it sound like he’d offered her a treat she’d been
craving? Well, I have been craving something… She hadn’t expected it to
be so decadent. “Wow…you… You are…”
He remained silent awaiting her to complete her thought.
She inhaled a steadying breath. “You sure know how to dominate a kiss.”
He chuckled. “Nice choice of words.” His thumbs massaged her cheeks for
a second. “And you submitted nicely.”
Confusion crinkled her brow, and she batted his hands away from her
face. “Was this some kind of test?”
“You asked for a kiss, and I gave you one.”
His matter-of-fact tone
irritated her to no end. She spun away from him, and opened the door to the
SUV. “This isn’t a game to me, Ry. I really care about you. I care about us.
If you’re going to grant me a kiss, then I want to know where I stand.”
He sighed, and stared off into the distance. “Let’s go home.”
“Fine.” She sat in the passenger seat, and slammed the door. Hot tears
pricked her eyes, but she refused to let them fall. How could he not care when
that kiss meant so much to her?
Ryan got into the car, and slammed his door. They sat in silence for a
few seconds before he spoke. “Meg—I care about you a lot. I don’t know if a
sexual relationship between us is a good idea.”
“And yet you kissed me. And smacked me on the ass.” She turned to face
him, arms crossed over her chest again. “Those aren’t our regular forms of
affection. If you don’t want to take things further, then don’t toy with me.”
“I do mean them.” Still without looking directly at her, he laid a hand
on her thigh. “I like to be dominant in the bedroom.”
Megan gulped in surprise. Not the response she’d been expecting. Ryan
a Dom? The thought had never occurred to her. She’d read about the BDSM
lifestyle, met people who lived it to different degrees. She’d even gotten
kinky in the bedroom on occasion, but she’d never considered herself a
submissive. In her fighting career, the word submission didn’t enter her
vocabulary. To submit, in her mind, meant giving in; giving in equaled losing.
Guilty as Sin
A UFC fighter caught up in the world of organized crime risks his one chance at freedom to save the woman he loves.
As
a UFC fighter, Sinclair Reed aka Sinister 3, always had a plan. Getting
tangled up with the mob, or falling in love with a woman he can’t
forget, never factored into it.
After
a brief affair, bestselling author, Cherie Bouchard, thought she’d seen
the last of UFC light middleweight champ “Sinister 3” when they parted
ways at the airport. Determined to discover if her feelings are real for
Sinclair, or the result of her hopeless romantic imagination, she
purchases tickets to his fight when the UFC comes to town.
As
the lovers re-unite, they discover someone wants him dead, and Sinclair
has twenty-four hours to choose between Cherie and freedom. For a smart
guy like him, it should be a no-brainer. When it comes to the woman he
loves, he’s as guilty as sin.
