Disinherited by his parents and estranged from his wife, Fallen pleasure club co-owner Lord Grayson ‘Devil’ Deveraux long ago learned to place his trust in ledgers rather than people. But his ice-cold reserve hides the scandalous truth: he’s a man who craves pain with his pleasure, and a loving lady to instruct him.
Banished to the country when her whirlwind marriage collapsed, Lady Eliza Deveraux never knew why Grayson fell out of love with her: she’d tried so damned hard to quell her fiery self and be a proper, obedient wife. But when Eliza is forced to return to London and back into Grayson’s intoxicating world, banked passions reignite. Can a marriage built on secrets and pretense truly get a second chance?
Before he could escape, Eliza’s slim
fingers encircled his wrist. “Grayson. What is wrong?”
Devil started to reply with something
false, something polite. But he was so goddamned weary of false and polite.
“That nightgown is too small.”
Her face fell. “I-I know. Mother says
I’m too big, that if I just lost some weight…”
“Why the hell would you want to do
that? Damnation, Eliza, it’s not your weight, it’s your fucking perfect breasts
straining against the fabric. I was hard all night looking at that little bow,
thinking how easy it would be to undo so I could take one of your nipples into
my mouth and suck it until it was so swollen, so sensitive, you screamed.”
Eliza’s eyes widened, her cheeks pink.
“Why…why didn’t you?”
Because I want you to tell me to. To
order me to pleasure you, like that time in your parents’ garden maze. One of
the few nights I felt free…
“You were asleep,” he said eventually,
looking away and feeling like a damned idiot. Sin and Vice, not to mention most
other men in his acquaintance would laugh themselves catatonic if they knew
about this need in him. God knew Reyburn had tried to beat the softness and
weakness out after it had fully manifested in his last year at Eton, even
requesting the masters never spare the cane. His younger son finding pleasure
in pain was definitely a result the marquess neither expected nor wanted.
Warm lips brushed his cheek, and Devil
jolted in surprise. Eliza’s face was almost crimson now, but her gaze was
defiant. Would she dare?
A moment later she sank down onto his
lap, cupped his cheek in her free hand and kissed him squarely on the mouth. It
was a swift kiss, a chaste one, yet heat scorched a path from his lips to his
cock.
“Grayson,” she whispered, her soft lips
brushing his ear. “Kiss me back.”
With a guttural groan he pulled her
close and captured her mouth with his. She whimpered, but she wasn’t pulling
away or flinching at his need. She was holding on and rubbing her breasts
against his chest.
“Eliza,” he said hoarsely, when he
couldn’t quite catch his breath.
“Do it.” She tugged on the bow of her
nightgown so hard it tore and revealed the curves of her plump breasts. “Do
what you said you wanted to last night.”
Transfixed, he lowered his head toward
the bounty in front of him. “Your wish is my command.”

When not chained to a computer she can be found ambling along one of New Zealand’s beautiful beaches, cheering on the champion All Blacks rugby team, history geeking on the internet or daydreaming. If this includes chocolate – even better!
