How in the world did she think she could handle Ben?  Her insides were quaking and moisture coated the g-string she wore.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The click of the door being shut caused her to jump, she spun around.  Ben was lounging against the wooden door staring at her.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Time to pay up."  His voice husky with desire.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She smoothed down her impossibly short skirt with trembling hands, it wasn't that she didn't want him.  She did, but how was he going to feel when he found out who she was.  He wouldn't, she decided. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The mask stays on."  She'd chosen this mask on purpose; it wouldn't slip off as it was anchored into her hair.  And she wouldn't let him take it off.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"For now," he acknowledged before stalking over to her.  His cap was tossed onto the chair, before he cupped her cheeks.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hot lips covered her.  No tenderness, no foreplay.  His tongue forced its way between the lips to tangle with hers.  Not that she minded, she was ready for him. More than ready.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Arms entwined around his neck, pulling him closer as he deepened the kiss.  His tongue and hers chasing each other, until finally the need for air caused them to part.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You taste of chocolate." His mouth trailed from her lips, down her neck, to the top of her breasts almost bursting from the Bo Peep costume.  "I want you naked."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Placing her hands on his chest, she pushed.  But he didn't move.  "I can't get undressed if you're holding me."  Her voice was tinged with laughter. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ben gazed down at her, and she almost fell to her knees. His eyes had darkened to a deep golden color, hotter than a summer night and deeper than any canyon.  Backing up, her knees hit the chair and she sat.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hard.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The impact of the wood on her barely covered ass stung, and she wondered if Ben would spank her?  Her nipples tightened at the thought of his broad, hard hand striking her ass in measured strokes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Her hands shook as she removed her shoes, then began to roll down her thigh high white tights.  The rustling of clothing had her lifting her head.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ben had removed his black shirt.  Her mouth watered at the sight of his hair covered chest.  Her fingers itched to touch him, to run her hands over his muscles, to play with those brown nipples.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tearing her gaze away from his magnificent body, she found the concealed zipper on the side of the dress and pulled it down.  Standing, she slipped out of her costume.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Oh, fuck."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Her head rose. Ben was staring at her, his hands on the top of his pants.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Honey, there's no bed in here."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cynthia glanced around the room.  What?  "Did you really expect one?"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"They way you've been teasing me, yes. A nice big bed, but I can improvise."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before Cynthia knew what happened, Ben was naked, and she was straddling his lap in her g-string and nothing else.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Ben," she groaned out his name when his condom covered cock brushed against her barely covered pussy.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Let's get rid of these." &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was a sharp tug at her waist, then the next thing she knew the fabric was torn away and dropped to the floor.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"That's better," said Ben, shifting his position, before his fingers dipped into her pussy.  "Yes, you're ready for me."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I've been ready for you since day one," she whispered, her lips finding his.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hands on her hips, he guided her onto his hard cock.  Her pussy opened to him.  She was more than ready for him.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ben broke the kiss, to bury his face in her neck.  "You smell of honey and vanilla.  And damn you feel so good around my cock."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unable to help herself, Cynthia arched her back, sliding further down onto his cock.  Damn, he was big.  But oh….she closed her eyes as her head fell back.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Beautiful," said Ben, then his mouth covered her right breast.  Tongue laving the nipple before his teeth nipped at it.  Then he did the same with the left.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Molten heat flowed through her veins, and she braced her feet on the floor, shifted her body and took him entirely inside her.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Oh, my God." The words slipped out of her mouth.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Ride me, baby."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cynthia did, until both their bodies were quivering masses of fulfilled desire.  She collapsed against Ben.  Their harsh breathing filled the room.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Tell me your name," said Ben.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ice water filled Cynthia's veins.  She shook her head, and stood on shaking legs.  She had to leave.  Now. He couldn't find out she was his boss' daughter.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank goodness she'd piled all her clothing together.   Reaching down, she grabbed them, and ran out the door.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ben was so stunned he couldn't move for a few seconds, then he rose.  He was about to go after her, but knew he couldn't.  He knew who she was now, and she wouldn't escape him.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"&gt;****&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Monday morning, Moody Advertising was abuzz with the wonderful masquerade party on Saturday night.  Ben hadn't stopped smiling.  He'd already finished up most of his work for the day, and it was only nine. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At ten, he sat back and waited.  She didn't disappoint him.  At five minutes after ten, Cynthia Bellows stalked into his office.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"What is the meaning of this?" Her voice shouted, but it wasn't anger, it was more nervousness.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Shut the door unless you want the entire office to hear this conversation."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Color drained from her face, but she closed the door then stared at him.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It's obvious what it is."  He sat back in his leather chair.  "It's your g-string from Saturday night Bo Peep."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Her face grew paler.  Ben grinned. He couldn't keep her on the line for too long.  "I figured turn about was fair play, but if I was going to do that, I would have sent you a pair of my underwear."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Ho...how did you figure it out?" Her voice was whisper soft now.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It took me a while, but it wasn't until I saw you leaving after our love making, I realized where I'd seen that delectable backside before."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Ben," she started.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He held up his hand, and she fell silent.  "This is how this is going to go, Cynthia.  You and I will start dating, exclusively.  Every night you will grace my bed, where I will make love to you until you are totally sated.  Then when enough time has passed, we will have a very short engagement with an equally quick wedding."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Her mouth fell open, and Ben grinned as he stood and crossed the room to her.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Do you really think I'm going to let the love of my life slip away, no matter who her father is."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; The End&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Marie Tuhart - Escape to an Erotic Fantasy&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;www.marietuhart.com&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;www.twitter.com/marietuhart&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5669370625532394770" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mNXbTPxHawQ/Tq2mi9rkfRI/AAAAAAAAALk/lW3aUexKYNk/s320/SaddleUp_w6079.jpg" style="color: #0000ee; cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 320px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 0px; text-decoration: underline; text-indent: 0px; width: 214px;" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: CenturySchoolbook;"&gt;Angie Davidson&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: CenturySchoolbook;"&gt; fin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: CenturySchoolbook;"&gt;ds herself at loose ends after &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: CenturySchoolbook;"&gt;her best friend's wedding and in need of a vacation, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: CenturySchoolbook;"&gt;so when sexy yet aloof co-owner of the Quick Silver &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: CenturySchoolbook; text-indent: 0px;"&gt;Ranch, Jared Turner, i&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: CenturySchoolbook;"&gt;nsists she stay to explore &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: CenturySchoolbook;"&gt;their sexual attraction, she agrees.

The past several weeks of finding enticing clues and anonymous notes had forced him to come here tonight and finally meet the woman who’d been making his dick hard with want at every Board meeting, at every client luncheon, at every date with another woman.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;Every time he thought of the tiny slips of panties she’d left on his desk, the scent of her sweet pussy still lingering in the string lining. Every time he reread the naughty notes and smelled the red roses…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;Enough was enough. No more games.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;He was the new junior partner at Moody Advertising Agency and he didn’t have time for distractions, not if he wanted to impress the senior partners, especially Ned Bellows. That son-of-a-bitch seemed to already have it out for him.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;At least now Ben had a chance to end this. Mystery Woman told him to meet her at this damn party and said she’d be wearing a “Bo Peep” costume with a bejeweled mask.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;Well, here he was, reduced to playing her game. As far as he was concerned, Bo Peep was going to make good on all the teasing…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;Right after he found out her identity.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;Holding her close, he gazed into caramel colored eyes. Eyes he’d sworn he’d seen before, along with the long locks of dark brown hair cascading over her shoulders. Only the bejeweled three-quarter mask she wore kept him from placing her.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;Who was she?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;“Tell me your name.” Ben glared at a man passing by who was showing way too much interest in his mystery date’s long slender legs. Legs clad in white thigh-highs and sparkly blue stilettos. When Ben had seen her from across the ballroom, he’d had the same awestruck reaction. There was no doubt Bo Peep had a nice, curvy figure. Only, he didn’t appreciate other men noticing that little fact. Not when he was on a mission.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;Go sniff out someone else, chump. This one’s mine.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;At least for the night.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;“Not so fast,” she said, clearly out of breath. Her ample breasts rose and fell against his chest. Her gaze darted around the crowded room. “Why don’t we go somewhere private to talk?”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;“Talk? Honey, I didn’t come here tonight to talk. And all your provocative little memos tell me you don’t have a tête-à-tête on your mind either.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;If she really craved the taste of his cock in her mouth, like she’d written in her last message, that’s exactly what she’d get. Weeks of being teased had made him hard as steel and grumpy as an ogre. He had plans with this woman and he was determined to fulfill them if it took all night.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;“You make a valid point.” She gave him a wicked grin, her glossy pink lips curving upward, revealing adorable dimples on each cheek. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;Another surge of blood flooded downward. Fuck, since when did dimples make his cock throb? Yet the unexpected feature only seemed to be an added bonus to his daydream-come-to-life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;With his hand on her lower back he pressed her belly against his erection, showing her exactly what she was doing to him. “Go on.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;She drew in a breath and swallowed. “Let’s head upstairs. There’s a private room waiting for us.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;“Now you’re making more sense.” He loosened his hold on her but kept his hand splayed on her waist. “Show me the way, honey.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;He walked close behind her, hopefully hiding his erection from the rest of the party guests. All around them he noticed familiar faces. Coworkers. City officials. Clients. Neighbors.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;Senior partners. Shit.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;Ben ducked his head.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;Thankfully they didn’t seem to recognize him underneath his mask and costume, or at least they didn’t let on. Peep’s suggestion that he wear the ridiculous get-up made more sense now.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;And, he had to admit, the game was becoming a lot more intriguing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;He followed her up winding stairs, feeling the sway of her hips under his grip. Her short, ruffled skirt barely covered her ass cheeks as she took one step at a time. Ben assessed the view with full appreciation, remembering one of the more lascivious messages she’d left him.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;Yep, he had a lot of plans for this woman.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;****&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Lia Slater&lt;/b&gt; – Erotic Romance with Heart-pounding Emotion&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: 0in;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.liaslater.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;www.LiaSlater.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.twitter.com/LiaSlater"&gt;www.twitter.com/LiaSlater&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sSvCxVwlG6c/ToXZYD8VBVI/AAAAAAAAAHs/Fm7hkVmFC9g/s1600/ls_WereSlave.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sSvCxVwlG6c/ToXZYD8VBVI/AAAAAAAAAHs/Fm7hkVmFC9g/s320/ls_WereSlave.jpg" width="194" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;WereSlave&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Book 1 in Were Legends series (Mace's story)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;As the Queen of Paqualette, Nayla is forbidden to have a husband or a human lover. Her life is a lonely and disciplined existence, so when she’s given the opportunity to choose a Were from her dungeon as her sex slave, she takes a chance. Werewolves are nothing but senseless monsters, she knows from firsthand experience. But after the one she selects to be her WereSlave turns out to be more of a man than she’d ever known, she must question her beliefs. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the alpha leader, Mace is responsible for his pack. He’ll do anything to keep them alive, even give into the Queen’s sexual demands. But not unless he’s in control. Turning his enticing captor into the submissive is the only way to show her he’s more man than she realizes. Falling in love with Nayla is out of the question, but will he be able to leave her behind when his pack is finally free?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7961089224752745000-1574603647026965189?l=shortstoryseduction.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shortstoryseduction.blogspot.com/feeds/1574603647026965189/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7961089224752745000&amp;postID=1574603647026965189&amp;isPopup=true' title='13 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7961089224752745000/posts/default/1574603647026965189'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7961089224752745000/posts/default/1574603647026965189'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shortstoryseduction.blogspot.com/2011/10/unmasked-part-2-by-lia-slater.html' title='Unmasked - Part 2 by Lia Slater'/><author><name>Short Story Seductions</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13095872544834821374</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sSvCxVwlG6c/ToXZYD8VBVI/AAAAAAAAAHs/Fm7hkVmFC9g/s72-c/ls_WereSlave.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>13</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7961089224752745000.post-5032860725965141624</id><published>2011-09-29T00:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-09-29T05:37:07.998-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Lynda Bailey'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fulfilled'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Unmasked'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='short erotic story'/><title type='text'>Unmasked - Part 1 by Lynda Bailey</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;Cynthia Bellows watched the activity in the crowded ballroom from behind the huge silk fichus tree in the shadowy alcove. But she wasn’t hiding. She was doing reconnaissance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;As she observed the array multi-colored, extravagant costumes, electric currents zinged through her stomach. When would he get here? She refused to admit her scheme of seducing the hot, new junior partner of Moody Advertising Agency wouldn’t work. It had to. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;She adjusted the decadently low bodice necklace of her “Bo Peep” costume and schooled herself to be patient. Everything she’d done over the past two months--every mystery note, every single red rose, every thong left on his desk--had been building to this night. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;The zaps in her belly moved lower to tickle her clit. She clenched her thighs together, relishing the mini-orgasm. How many times had she masturbated herself to shattering climaxes just imagining the possible outcome of tonight? She drew a confident breath. Never before had her efforts failed, and they wouldn’t fail this time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;The three-quarter, bejeweled, feathered mask only slightly obstructed her vision as she continued to observe the occupants in the convention room. Each year, the Moody Halloween masquerade party was the city-wide event to attend. And by the looks of it, every city resident was in attendance.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;Cynthia checked her watch. Nearly nine o’clock. Uncertainty wiggled between her shoulder blades. The festivities had started at seven and could go well into the morning hours. Nothing to panic about. Plenty of time for him to get here. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;A sudden jolt charged through her. She pivoted right as an impressive figure filled the double wide door entrance. Her knees weakened. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;Even from a distance, he looked impossibly tall, or maybe it was just an illusion created by his satin top hat. The matching cape hung to his narrow hips, but couldn’t conceal the broad expanse of his chest and shoulders. She didn’t have to see his features to know lush lips and a chiseled jaw were exposed below his scarlet mask; the only dash of color on his otherwise black costume.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;He moved his head in a slow, methodical manner, watching the party-goers in the room. She shivered in anticipation. He was looking for her. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;Then, like magnets, their gazes collided. Cynthia’s breath stalled in her throat. Her pulse stopped, literally, before stuttering back to life. Her nipples tightened as her pussy muscles jumped.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;Tipping his head in a covert acknowledgement, he skirted the perimeter of the dance floor toward her.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;She couldn’t take her gaze off his eloquent, yet virile walk. Each stride dripped potent power and supreme confidence. He looked neither left nor right, but straight at her.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;For the first time since setting her sights on him, concern that she may have taken on more than she could handle dried Cynthia’s mouth. Maybe this time, her true identity would be revealed.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;She drew back her shoulders.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Nonsense&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;Still, she had to force herself not to steal into the darkened alcove as he approached. She refused to balk even while she worked to calm her erratic heartbeat and slow her rapid breathing. She would be the picture of aloof composure, even if it killed her.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;He stopped directly in front of her. Not so close that they touched but close enough that the faint, spicy scent of musk swirled through her senses. It dizzied her. She resisted the urge to lean into the ornate molding for support. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;For the span of countless heartbeats, his hypnotic green eyes peered at her through the mask. They held her captive.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;“Well.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;The single word, spoken in a rich baritone timbre, brought forth visions of dark chocolate and red wine. Sophisticated and alluring and wholly sinful. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;“I’m here.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;Cynthia commanded her mouth to curl up. “Yes, you are.” Could he hear her heart thumping in her chest?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;“And?”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;She brushed past him. “And I want to dance.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;He snagged her wrist in a firm grip, one she couldn’t easily escape from. “Lady, I didn’t come here to dance.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;Tremors of excitement rushed through her veins as her pussy quivered in time to her hammering pulse. She angled her chin in mock defiance. “And just what did you come for?” Try as she might, she couldn’t contain the slight breathless quality of her voice. She yanked to free her hand.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;His grip tightened. “You know damn well why I’m here.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;She barked a laugh, grateful for the loud music and that they were mostly sheltered from prying eyes. “I know? Really?” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;Cynthia wrenched again to dislodge herself from his grasp. She knew if she really wanted him to, he’d release her. The thought never crossed her mind. “Maybe you should tell me.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He hauled her flush to his body, expelling all the air from her lungs in a startled gasp. Every inch of his solid muscled physique pressed against her softer curves. Her vision blurred and she struggled to breathe.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Stay tuned for more...&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;If you enjoyed this excerpt, Lynda has a short story available at Amazon.
