Mastered by the CEO (Mastered By #4)
Page 8
“I… don’t understand.”
“I mean, you’re better than a junior executive position in a small branch office. You can do better than that. I’m not going to let you settle for something beneath you.”
That was easy for him to say. Better jobs didn’t just pop up because she wanted one.
“Please, King—”
He held up his hand to stop her words. “Rachel, stop. I’m not giving you your job back.”
She sucked in a shaky breath as he took her hand and kissed it.
“And don’t beg.” His lips turned up in a slow smile. “Because the only thing I want you begging me for is sex.”
His words and actions mystified her.
“As I said, I’m not giving you your old job back, because I have a better offer. I want to promote you to a position at headquarters. There are several positions I think you’d be happy with so we’ll discuss it in detail. You’ll be making a lot more money, of course.” He drew her hand to his mouth and kissed her palm. “And we’ll be in the same city.”
“Are you offering me this position so that I’ll keep having sex with you?”
He smiled. “Well, I do want you to keep having sex with me. In fact, I want you to submit to me totally in the bedroom. But I want you to clearly understand that I’m offering you a higher level executive position because that’s where you belong. You are an excellent executive. I’ve always known that. And now that I know you won’t fight me at every turn, I have no qualms about hiring you at the level you belong.”
She just stared at him in shock.
“I rather expected a more enthusiastic response.” Then he frowned. “Is moving a problem?”
She shook her head. “No, that’s not it.”
He squeezed her hand. “Then what is it?”
She was befuddled and… confused. The realization of what he was offering was barely seeping through. She was happy and a little nervous about the job offer. It was a big move up, but she knew somehow she would handle the increased responsibility.
What she wasn’t sure she could handle was being involved with King again in an office-only romance.
“You said you want to keep having sex with me,” she said.
“Yes, about that. This time I’m not going to settle for a clandestine affair in the office only. I want you in my bed every night. I want you to move in with me and be my woman. People at the office will know we’re a couple. We’ll go out to dinner and attend social functions together. We’ll have a romantic relationship. And when we’re at home…” His eyes gleamed. “You will submit to me totally.”
Her breath caught.
“Now, just say ‘Yes, Master’.”
She sucked in air, her heart pounding.
“Yes, Master.”
He laughed, then tugged her hand and pulled her onto his lap. His arms came around her as his mouth captured hers. She surrendered to his plundering mouth, melting against his hard, muscular body.
“Good. And just in case you haven’t figured it out yet…” He smiled warmly, his charcoal eyes mesmerizing. “I love you.”
Joy surged through her and her heart fluttered.
“Really? Oh, my God, I love you, too. So much.”
He laughed, a joyous sound. Then he scooped her up in his arms.
“I think we should go and celebrate that love right now.”
She gazed into his glowing eyes, her heart soaring.
“Yes, Master. Anything you say.”

Opal Carew
Kalie Terron
The man who kidnapped me has haunted my dreams for weeks. Hot sexy dreams of his full lips moving on me. Over my naked body. Touching me in soft, intimate places.
As my captor, he wore jeans and a casual shirt. I hadn’t known that the man who brought my sexual fantasy to life is a powerful, wealthy businessman.
Now I’ve tracked him down, determined to convince him to give us a chance.
I’ve seen his eyes with a dominating edge. I’ve seen them filled with passion. And even filled with an intense need that rivaled my own. But now those eyes are cold and detached, as if what the two of us shared was nothing to him.
But I won’t give up.
Erik King
Kalie wants a relationship. Flowers and candlelight. Soft words spoken in front of a fire. But I’m not a romantic kind of guy. I like my sex rough and hard. And I like my women soft and submissive.
Just because she enjoyed a fantasy about being abducted and forced to have sex with two men, she thinks she can handle what I want. She doesn’t get that what I enjoy is in a whole different league.
She seems intimidated by my status, which is good. I intend to take every opportunity to keep her off balance. For her own good, as well as mine.
Her unyielding determination tells me it will be difficult to convince her to back off. Thus, my only alternative is to use intimidation to scare her away.
So I will give her the chance she’s been begging for, confident that in the end, she’ll be begging to get away from me.
Excerpt
Kalie stepped into his office hesitantly, glancing around, clearly nonplussed.
“Come in and sit down, Kalie.” Erik gestured to the chair facing his desk.
Kalie sat down across from Erik. She crossed her legs and he couldn’t help noticing her long, shapely calves.
“You wanted to talk to me,” he said.
She bit her lip and nodded. Her gaze drifted to the window behind him and the spectacular view of the city below.
“I didn’t realize you were the partner in a big company like this.”
“I’m the owner, actually. The two men you just met are minor partners.”
Normally, he didn’t comment on such things, but Kalie seemed intimidated by his status and he would take every opportunity to keep her off balance.
For her own good, as well as his own.
She had made it clear that she wanted to pursue a relationship with him and her unyielding determination told him it would be difficult to convince her it wouldn’t work between them. Thus, his only alternative seemed to be to use intimidation to scare her away.
* * *
Kalie shifted in the leather chair, rethinking her whole strategy. In his role as her captor, while playing out her sexual fantasy, he’d worn jeans and a casual shirt. She’d never expected that a wealthy bus
iness owner, like he clearly was, would take the time out to indulge in play-acting with her.
Maybe it was his idea of slumming.
The sight of him in his tailored business suit, accentuating his broad shoulders and trim waist, reminded her of the muscular body that was hidden beneath the expensive clothes. His chiseled chin and finely sculpted features had filled her dreams for weeks. And right now, she couldn’t help remembering his full lips moving on hers, then over her naked body. Touching her in soft, intimate places.
She gazed up from her folded hands to his unsettling blue eyes. She’d seen those eyes with a dominating edge. She’d seen them filled with passion. And even filled with an intense need that rivaled her own.
But right now they were simply cold and detached, as if what the two of them had shared had been nothing to him.
Yet she sat here quivering with need being this close to him. Yearning for him to drag her into his arms and kiss her, then ravage her right on top of his desk.
“So what did you come here to say to me?” he asked, eyebrows arched.
“I...”
His cool gaze made it hard to say the words. Deep inside, she had believed when he saw her again, he would realize how much he wanted her. That she would barely have to convince him at all.
But clearly that wasn’t the case.
She drew in a deep breath. “I wanted to say that what we shared was amazing and, especially that last night...” She bit her lip. “I would really like you to give us a chance.”
“A chance to what?” he asked, his voice deadpan.
Oh, God, he wasn’t going to make this any easier.
“A chance to see if this might lead somewhere. To see if it’s worth pursuing a relationship.”
“A relationship?” He eased back in his chair. “So you see flowers and candlelight in our future? Soft words spoken in front of a fire? Holding hands as we watch movies together?”
Erik stood up and walked toward her, then leaned back against his desk.
“In case you didn’t get the idea, I’m not a romantic kind of guy. I like my sex rough and hard. And I like my women soft and submissive.”
She nodded. “I understand. I can do that.”
His eyes narrowed. “You really think so? Just because you had a fantasy about being abducted and forced to have sex with two men, you think you can handle what I want? Baby, what I enjoy is in a whole different league.”
Opal Carew
Her ultimate sexual fantasy brought to life...
THE MALE STRIPPER
While Becca's friends fantasize about multiple men and erotic situations, Becca longs for something more down to earth-a sizzling night with the male stripper she hired for her friend's bachelorette party.
Despite her friends' good-natured insistence that she go for it, Becca just doesn't know how to tell this super sexy man she wants to jump his bones.
But when he shows up at her door later that night-and with a hunky friend in tow-she decides she just can't let this opportunity slip away.
THE STRANGER
The idea of sex with a stranger is Jan's biggest turn-on. Not a one night stand, but someone who is totally anonymous. She never in her wildest dreams thought she'd do it in real life... until her friend decides to make it happen. So, bound and blindfolded, she is ready for her mysterious lover, but is she ready for the consequences?
THE OFFICE SLAVE
Sylvia loves to read erotica, and after her latest read, she's developed a sizzling fantasy about being forced to submit to the sexual whims of four incredibly hot business partners. Never in her wildest dreams did she think she'd have the opportunity to live out her fantasy... until her friend decides to make it happen. Now she's about to become an office slave… to four hunky men she's never even met. But faced with the reality, can she actually go through with it?
Opal Carew
Jessica’s life was in ruins… until she met him.
Standing in the rain feeling lost in a new city, with no job and no prospects, she’s about to give up. Until Dane Rainier pulls up in his limo and offers her a ride—and sweeps her into the life of her dreams. Now she has a high-powered job and is having the best sex of her life, exploring her submissive side under the masterful hand of a gorgeous billionaire.
But there’s a part of her that’s still holding back. Because the truth is, she’s never gotten over her ex-boyfriend Storm. A heavily muscled, motorcycle-riding rock musician, Storm couldn’t be any more different from Dane… and she just can’t get him out of her head. Now Storm is about to reappear and turn her whole world upside down. Both Dane and Storm make her body burn to be possessed, but will her indecisive heart cost her the love of both men?
Related stories: Although each of Opal's books are stand-alone, after reading His To Possess you can follow Dane's brother's story in His To Claim. And Jessica's story before His To Possess can be found in Taken by Storm.
Excerpt
Jessica watched the busy traffic and streams of people passing by the window as she took a last sip of coffee, then set the empty mug on the table. One man crossing the street toward her caught her eye. There was something familiar about his face, but she couldn’t get a good look at him to figure out why.
She pulled her wallet from her purse and placed her credit card on the bill the waitress had left on a plastic tray on the table. Eating at this little restaurant a block from her hotel had definitely been a good idea. The food here was much cheaper than at the hotel restaurant and this trip to Philadelphia was already straining her budget. Coming here for the big career fair was worth the risk, though.
The waitress came by and picked up her card. As Jessica waited for her to return, she continued watching the men and women rushing by in business attire, trying to catch sight of the man again.
Self-consciously, she reached behind her head and checked her hair, which was held in a twist at the back of her head. She didn’t usually wear her long, black hair pinned up, but she felt it looked more professional this way. The same with her smart charcoal gray suit and white blouse. Not her usual attire, since the environment at her cousin’s Sally’s company, where Jessica had last worked, had been pretty casual and everyone who worked there normally wore jeans to the office. Thank heavens for credit cards.
She glanced at her watch, and her stomach churned. She had to get going. The waitress returned with her card and Jessica signed the slip and tucked the receipt into her wallet. As she slipped on her coat, she noticed the man again, this time buying a newspaper from a news stand just outside. She froze as she realized why this man had drawn her attention.
It was Storm.
This man, in his expensive-looking, tailored suit, his dark hair in a short and stylish cut, was the opposite of the Storm she knew. Her Storm had spiky hair and was typically in comfortable jeans and a skin-tight tank top that showed off his muscles and tattoos, with a black leather jacket at the ready for when he hopped on his big, sleek Harley. He was a guitarist in her brother’s rock band, and he wouldn’t be caught dead in business attire.
She watched this suited man as he tucked the paper under his arm and started walking down the street. That was definitely Storm’s face. She gathered her purse and briefcase from the chair beside her and stood up. What was Storm doing here? And dressed like that?
