Shivering, I rubbed my arms before grabbing a towel. Today, Blade needed my strength. I was his submissive after all and I would be by his side. Everything had a beginning and an ending. My life as Crystal Cummings was over, but her fortitude and spunk would never be forgotten.
Pointing my finger, I offered my reflection a smile. Time to move on.
Less than twenty minutes later, we were ready. I kept my hand on Blade’s thigh as he drove, whisking us through the beautiful Colorado roadways. We’d never be able to return, although I’d learned never say never, but our little house was ready at least in nearby Montana, even though not a soul we knew would be made aware of our location.
The long driveway was flanked by the most gorgeous trees, and although they were capped in fresh snow, I could imagine them on a spring morning. Flakes fell against the windshield, dotting the expansive glass with various sizes and shapes. I was mesmerized by their simple beauty, a sign of hope.
Everyone needed a moment of hope. No matter what deeds we’d done in the past or the terrible decisions we made, we were allowed salvation. I’d only just realized that after spending time with Blade. With Erik. With... Swallowing the heavy lump in my throat, I realized I couldn’t remember his new name.
A tear slipped past my lashes, falling slowly onto my cheek. As the house came into view, I held my breath. I didn’t know the people huddled in warm clothing standing on the porch, no doubt swallowed in apprehension of their own. What I did know was the man sitting next to me. Strong. Honest. Caring. Full of love.
He was the love of my life.
Pulling the SUV to a stop, Blade slid the gear into park, hesitating before shutting off the engine. “I think the storm is going to be significant.”
“We’ll weather the storm. As long as I’m by your side, we’ll be fine.”
“Sound like a Hallmark card.” A snort slipped from his lips.
“Very funny, sir.”
Exhaling, he glanced in my direction. “All kidding aside, you are my rock. You’re the reason I’m here. And you’re everything to me.”
When he leaned over, kissing my lips, I gripped his hand. Everything was going to be all right.
I waited until he walked around, letting me out of the passenger side, his hand firmly gripping mine. Every step slow and methodical, he walked closer to the group of people and I could swear I still heard his beating heart.
“Erik.” The woman’s voice was whispered as she slowly crept down the stairs. “Is it really you?”
“Mom.” His voice barely audible, he glanced from his mother to what I knew to be his father. Then his sister, the lovely woman who’d spent hours on the phone with both of us.
Then to his brother—his strong and handsome brother.
Dane.
He was alive.
He was healthy.
He was thriving.
And all because of a horrific choice made by his brother.
Redemption was sweet.

He is the one who punishes her when she’s been a bad girl, and he is the one who takes her in his arms afterwards and brings her to one climax after another until she is utterly spent and satisfied.
But something shady is going on behind the scenes at Dominick’s company, and when Jenna draws the wrong conclusion from a poorly written article about him and creates an embarrassing public scene, will she end up not only costing them both their jobs but losing her daddy as well?

It infuriates me to be punished for the slightest defiance and forced to submit to these alien brutes, but as I’m led naked through the corridors of their ship, my well-punished bare bottom and my helpless arousal both fully on display, I cannot help wondering how long it will be until I’m kneeling at the feet of my mates and begging them take me as shamefully as they please.

wboy for a painful, embarrassing, and very public spanking.

Capturing Their Mate
I thought the Cenzan invaders could never find me here, but I was wrong. Three of the alien brutes came to take me, and before I ever set foot aboard their ship I had already been stripped bare, spanked thoroughly, and claimed more shamefully then I would have ever thought possible.
They have decided that a public example must be made of me, and I will be punished and used in the most humiliating ways imaginable as a warning to anyone who might dare to defy them. But I am no ordinary breeder, and the secrets hidden in my past could change their world... or end it.

Ruthless
Treating a mobster shot by a rival’s goons isn’t really my forte, but when a man is powerful enough to have a whole wing of a hospital cleared out for his protection, you do as you’re told.
To make matters worse, this isn’t first time I’ve met Giovanni Calduchi. It turns out my newest patient is the stern, sexy brute who all but dragged me back to his hotel room a couple of nights ago so he could use my body as he pleased, then showed up at my house the next day, stripped me bare, and spanked me until I was begging him to take me even more roughly and shamefully.
Now, with his enemies likely to be coming after me in order to get to him, all I can do is hope he’s as good at keeping me safe as he is at keeping me blushing, sore, and thoroughly satisfied.

Rogue
Tracking down cyborgs is my job, but this time I’m the one being hunted. This rogue machine has spent most of his life locked up, and now that he’s on the loose he has plans for me...
He isn’t just going to strip me, punish me, and use me. He will take me longer and harder than any human ever could, claiming me so thoroughly that I will be left in no doubt who owns me.
No matter how shamefully I beg and plead, my body will be ravaged again and again with pleasure so intense it terrifies me to even imagine, because that is what he was built to do.

Roughneck
When I took a job on an oil rig to escape my scheming stepfather’s efforts to set me up with one of his business cronies, I knew I’d be working with rugged men. What I didn’t expect is to find myself bent over a desk, my cheeks soaked with tears and my bare thighs wet for a very different reason, as my well-punished bottom is thoroughly used by a stern, infuriatingly sexy roughneck.
Even though I should have known better than to get sassy with a firm-handed cowboy, let alone a tough-as-nails former Marine, there’s no denying that learning the hard way was every bit as hot as it was shameful. But a sore, welted backside is just the start of his plans for me, and no matter how much I blush to admit it, I know I’m going to take everything he gives me and beg for more.

Hunting Their Mate
As far as I’m concerned, the Cenzans will always be the enemy, and there can be no peace while they remain on our planet. I planned to make them pay for invading our world, but I was hunted down and captured by two of their warriors with the help of a battle-hardened former Marine. Now I’m the one who is going to pay, as the three of them punish me, shame me, and share me.
Though the thought of a fellow human taking the side of these alien brutes enrages me, that is far from the worst of it. With every searing stroke of the strap that lands across my bare bottom, with every savage thrust as I am claimed over and over, and with every screaming climax, it is made more clear that it is my own quivering, thoroughly used body which has truly betrayed me.
