Introduction
"That's it, let go, Lina," Ryker whispered, his breath hot against her skin. "Let me show you the pleasures of submission."
Ryker positioned her on the bed, her wrists gently restrained by the velvet chains, her body exposed and vulnerable. He kissed a path down her body, his tongue tracing circles around her navel, making her squirm with anticipation. His fingers gently parted her folds, his breath hot against her sensitive flesh.
Chapter 1
The dimly lit streets of the city hid a secret that only a select few knew about. In the heart of this bustling metropolis, where neon lights flashed and cars honked in a chaotic symphony, an unassuming warehouse stood as the gateway to a world of forbidden pleasures. 'The Velvet Chains', a name whispered with both reverence and caution, was a clandestine BDSM club, a sanctuary for those seeking to explore the depths of their desires, both light and dark. And tonight, it was about to change the life of a certain graphic designer forever.
Lina, with her curly hair and soft features, had always been intrigued by the taboo world of BDSM, her curiosity growing like a hungry beast within her. By day, she designed sleek websites and captivating logos, but by night, her thoughts wandered to the shadows of The Velvet Chains. The invitation from her friend, a regular at the club, was the push she needed to step into this hidden realm.
Stepping through the weathered doors of the warehouse, Lina was immediately enveloped in an atmosphere of sensual mystery. The air was thick with the scent of incense and the faint sounds of moans and whans filled the air, mingling with the rhythmic beats of a distant DJ. The club's interior was a labyrinth of dimly lit rooms, each offering a unique playground for the senses.
As she ventured further, her eyes adjusted to the low light, and she noticed a tall, commanding figure standing by the bar. His name was Ryker, the enigmatic owner of The Velvet Chains. With his dark eyes, chiseled jaw, and an air of raw, untamed power, he seemed to exude dominance from every pore. He was the master of this domain, and his presence sent a shiver down Lina's spine, a mixture of excitement and trepidation.
"Welcome to my club, Lina," Ryker's voice, deep and gravelly, cut through the ambient noise. "I've been expecting you." His words sent a thrill through her, and she felt a sudden rush of wetness between her thighs. She was aware of the club's reputation, the strict code of anonymity, and the importance of consent, but Ryker's intense gaze made her question how far she was willing to go.
Ryker became her guide, leading her through the club's labyrinthine corridors, each room revealing a new level of decadence and debauchery. They passed a room where a woman, bound and blindfolded, writhed in ecstasy as a man with a flogger teased her sensitive skin. In another, a couple engaged in a passionate display of rope bondage, their bodies intertwined and glistening with sweat. Lina's breath quickened, her nipples hardening under her dress as she imagined herself as the center of such attention.
"Do you like what you see, Lina?" Ryker's breath was hot against her ear, his hand resting gently on the small of her back, guiding her forward.
"I—I've never experienced anything like this," she stammered, her voice laced with a mixture of fear and desire.
"The Velvet Chains is a place of exploration, of pushing boundaries," he whispered, his lips brushing her earlobe. "Here, you can discover your deepest desires and learn to embrace your submissive nature."
As if on cue, they entered a dimly lit chamber, its walls adorned with velvet and chains, giving the room its name. A large four-poster bed, draped in black silk, dominated the space, inviting sinful activities. Ryker guided Lina to the bed, his touch sending electric currents through her body.
"Undress for me," he commanded, his voice laced with authority.
Lina's hands tremitated as she began to unbutton her dress, revealing her lace bra and panties. Ryker's eyes darkened as he took in her curves, his gaze making her feel exposed and vulnerable. With each piece of clothing she removed, her heart raced faster, her breath coming in shallow gasps.
Ryker stepped closer, his fingers tracing the outline of her bra, his touch sending sparks of pleasure through her. "You're beautiful, Lina. And soon, you'll be mine to pleasure."
His words sent a jolt of excitement through her core. She wanted to feel his touch, to submit to his dominance, but a part of her was still hesitant, afraid of the unknown. Ryker sensed her hesitation and moved to the bed, sitting on its edge, his muscular arms resting on his thighs.
"The Velvet Chains is a place of trust, Lina. Here, you're free to explore your desires without judgment. But remember, consent is everything. You set the boundaries, and I will respect them." His voice was gentle, a stark contrast to the commanding tone he'd used moments before.
Lina's heart softened at his words. She took a step forward, feeling empowered. "I want to explore, Ryker. I want to know what it's like to surrender to you."
A slow, seductive smile spread across Ryker's face. "Then come here, my sweet submissive."
Lina approached him, her body tremitating with anticipation. Ryker gently tugged at her panties, sliding them down her legs, his fingers brushing against her wetness, making her gasp. He hooked his fingers in the sides of her lace bra, slowly peeling it away, revealing her breasts. His mouth descended, capturing a nipple, his tongue swirling, sending waves of pleasure through her body.
As Ryker's hands and mouth explored her body, Lina felt herself surrendering to the sensations, her inhibitions melting away. She moaned, her hands gripping his shoulders, her hips instinctively thrusting towards his touch.
"That's it, let go, Lina," Ryker whispered, his breath hot against her skin. "Let me show you the pleasures of submission."
Ryker positioned her on the bed, her wrists gently restrained by the velvet chains, her body exposed and vulnerable. He kissed a path down her body, his tongue tracing circles around her navel, making her squirm with anticipation. His fingers gently parted her folds, his breath hot against her sensitive flesh.
"You're so wet, Lina," he murmured, his voice filled with admiration. "Tell me, do you want to feel my mouth on your sweet pussy?"
Lina's face flushed, her voice barely a whisper. "Yes, please."
Ryker's mouth descended, his tongue flicking her clit, sending electric shocks through her body. He licked and sucked, his fingers plunging into her wetness, his thumb circling her bud. Lina's hips bucked, her moans filling the room as she surrendered to the building orgasm.
"Cum for me, Lina," Ryker commanded, his voice thick with desire.
Lina's body tremitated, her orgasm crashing over her like a wave, her juices flowing freely as she cried out in ecstasy. Ryker continued his oral assault, lapping at her sensitive flesh, drawing out her pleasure until she was writhing, her body spent.
As she lay panting, her body buzzing with post-orgasmic bliss, Ryker untied her wrists, his eyes holding hers with an intensity that made her heart flutter. "You're a natural, Lina. But there's so much more for you to discover."
Lina's curiosity was piqued, her body still humming with pleasure. She had only scratched the surface of The Velvet Chains, and already, she was hooked. But as she would soon discover, the club held darker secrets, and Ryker himself was not immune to the whispered warnings that haunted its corridors.

I squeezed my eyes shut.
"Dani," he pressed. "Do you get me?"
"No, Austin, I don't," I admitted as I pulled my robe closed again and sat up. "You confuse me."
He dragged his hands down his face. "Tell me what's on your mind."
I sighed. "You're everything my parents warned me against. You're secretive, but you're also honest. I feel wholly protected by you, but then you scare me more than anyone I've ever known. You're a bad boy, but when I dated a so-called good one, he turned out to be the devil, so, yeah, I don't get you because you're not what I expected. You drive me crazier than anyone I've ever met, but then you make me feel complete. I'm feeling things I don't quite know how to process and that makes me want to run. I don't want to give up something that might be really, really good, but I also don't want to be stupid and fall for a boy just because he's super pretty and makes me come."

The mafia princess return
I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis
Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now—billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn’t mind. I’d crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one?
Wrong.
One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That’s when it hit me—he didn’t love me. He didn’t even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn’t even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup.
So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster—my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise.
Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol.
Enter him.
Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I’d met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes.
It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised.
But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life.
And, as it turned out, the best decision I’d ever made.
Because my one-night stand isn’t just some random guy. He’s richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with.
And now, he’s not letting me go.

Damien Sterling—future Alpha of the Silver Moon Shadow Pack and ruthless CEO of Sterling Group—slid a contract across his desk with predatory grace.
“Sign this, little doe, and I'll give you everything your heart desires. Wealth. Power. Revenge. But understand this—the moment you put pen to paper, you become mine. Body, soul, and everything in between.”
I should have run. Instead, I signed my name and sealed my fate.
Now I belong to the Alpha. And he's about to show me just how wild love can be.

The Pack: Rule Number 1 - No Mates
"Let me go," I whimper, my body trembling with need. "I don't want you touching me."
I fall forward onto the bed then turn around to stare at him. The dark tattoos of Domonic's chiseled shoulders, quiver and and expand with the heave of his chest. His deep dimpled smile is full of arrogance as he reaches behind himself to lock the door.
Biting his lip, he stalks toward me, his hand going to the seam of his pants and the thickening bulge there.
"Are you sure you don't want me to touch you?" He whispers, untying the knot and slipping a hand inside. "Because I swear to God, that is all I have been wanting to do. Every single day from the moment you stepped in our bar and I smelled your perfect flavor from across the room."
