TAKING EVE
BY
TINA DONAHUE
Blurb:
A willing slave
to possession, punishment, pleasure…
Dreams of a manor where submission and dominance once ruled draws
Faith to hypnotherapist Colin Danes. Potently virile, he looks remarkably like
her most cherished master from a past life. Desire smolders in his eyes,
proving he’s never forgotten her.
Their carnal dance continues in the present and leads to their
past when she was known as Eve. Through hypnotherapy, Colin brings her back to
the Victorian era, a hidden estate where she eagerly submits to whatever he and
her other noble masters crave. The exquisite discipline of the strap. Being bid
on and mounted each night. Displayed and used for the enjoyment of all.
Most will take her. One will try to imprison her. Only he will be
her true master in that life and this.
Excerpt:
Eve was still bathing when he came for
her. A man whose presence she’d frequently felt. A stranger she’d often seen
riding past this cottage, his steed magnificent, a sorrel with a startling
white mane and tail.
At those times, she’d noted the man’s
well-defined features, noble bearing, the way his attention had focused on her
alone. How his gaze had lingered and possessed, warming her skin, calling to
everything female within her, demanding her submission. She’d given it, not
moving, scarcely drawing a breath, her work forgotten.
Nothing except him had mattered.
Not once had he spoken or made a demand.
During his increasingly prolonged observations of her, he’d been content—or
obliged—to do no more than look.
Now, she saw the rope he held in one
gloved hand.
Eve’s belly fluttered.
The ends of the rope jumped as he moved
past the doorway, his height requiring him to stoop to avoid striking his head.
He wore no top hat. Snow dusted his dark hair and shoulders. His ankle-length
cloak was of fine black wool, lined with fur, his eveningwear consisting of a
dark coat cinched at the waist and trousers of the same color. Fresh milk
couldn’t compete with the flawless white of his vest and cravat, tied perfectly
about his throat.
He closed the door, bolting it against
interruption of what he was about to do.
The thought of it—and the metal’s sharp
clack—caused Eve to start. Her pulse pounded fiercely. The candles Mrs. Trumble
had lit stopped flickering at the wind’s departure. A few stray snowflakes
floated in the air.
Eve felt none of the chill that he’d
brought inside, only intense heat, spreading from her chest to her belly and
cunt, then to her neck. Her throat tightened, not allowing her to make any
sound as he stopped just short of the tub. Close enough for her to see his
lushly lashed eyes, of the purest blue, more glorious than any sky.
He regarded her naked breasts to the
exclusion of every other part of her and spoke for the first time. “Pull back
your arms and arch your back. Present yourself to me.”
His voice was quiet yet commanding, smooth
yet rough with arousal.
Unsteady with desire, Eve did as he
wanted. She had no other choice. She wanted none. With her back arched and her
arms drawn back, she lifted her breasts in offering.
He studied the ripe globes and her
tightened nipples at a leisurely pace, moving from one side of the tub to the
other to get his fill.
Eve remained a silent, obedient witness to
his brazen perusal. Craving and enjoying it, desire pulsing through her.
A small smile touched his lips as her
breasts quivered with her quick breaths. At length, his attention moved lower,
to the part of her the bath continued to hide. Its violet-scented water
reflected the candles’ flames, which tinted it gold and orange. Warm colors
that hardly matched the heat blazing within Eve.
“You know what to expect?” he asked.
She nodded.
“All of it?”
Eve thought not, so she shook her head.
He seemed pleased by that and began, “From
this moment forward, you’re never to cover yourself in any of your Masters’
presence. Your breasts, nipples, mouth, cunt, ass and anus are ours to use as
we please. Whatever we require of you, no matter how demanding or indecent,
you’re to obey with the greatest haste. You belong to us now. We have your
agreement. Did you make it willingly?”
Eve had.
