Far from Blind Excerpt: He closed the door behind them and the distinct click of a lock tumbling over echoed around the room. Maybe no showing yesterday was a mistake. If they’d had any chance at all, she’d blown it for sure. How could she expect him to trust her now? The air, thick with unsaid words, closed in around her. It was time to take care of business and escape before she embarrassed herself. “This must be for you.” She held out the envelope. “Thank you.” He took it from her and tore it open, revealing a piece of paper. His cheeks pulled into a little smile, then it disappeared. He maneuvered around his desk and sat. “Do you like me, Candy?” “Of course I do.” She clasped her arms around her middle. The bigger question is what he thought of her before Club Blind and now. “Then why didn’t you show last night?” He pressed his lips together and kept his gaze on her. “To be honest…” “That’s all I’ll ever expect from you.” “I’ll give it to you straight. You don’t want a girl like me.” She blew out a breath as if it could help her raging pulse. Never in a million years would she have guessed she’d want a man to tell her she was wrong. “Is that what you believe?” “Yes.” She kept her focus on him. He gave nothing away. His expression didn’t change, only his fingers tapped on his desk which was irritatingly neat. “Then we have a problem.” He stood. “We’d agreed to meet. I kept up my end.” “And I didn’t.” She blew out a deep breath. “Come here.” She didn’t move. She didn’t take her next breath either. He pointed to the ground in front of him. “Don’t make me ask twice.” She jumped and then slipped around his desk. Damn, he really did smell good. No matter whether it was aftershave or him, the deep woodsy scent turned here on. Everything about Brad turned her on. “Did I ask you to join me at Mistress Charlie’s yesterday?” “Yes, but—” “Do you believe I’m a liar?” “No.” “I don’t think you are either.” He tapped under her chin, lifting her focus back to him. “But I don’t believe you’re being honest with me right now and that’s a problem.” “I’m sorry I didn’t show yesterday.” “I appreciate the admission, but I can’t let the action and the attitude go unpunished.” “What, are you going to spank me?” She chuckled. “I think it’s time.” He tucked some of her hair behind her ear and his touch lingered along the side of her neck over her ugly mole. “Don’t you agree?” “Agreed, Sir.” She leaned back on his desk. It was the only thing holding her up. “Safeword?” “Red.” “Very good. Bend over my desk, please.” “Right here?” She looked around his office. She didn’t find any windows to the hall, but his windows facing the next building were wide open. “You really are pissed.” The corner of his lips lifted slightly. “The windows are treated. No one can see in here.” “Oh.” “You’re stalling.” “Can you blame me?” “You do know I’m an accountant, right?” He tugged on her hair. “We like to add.”

Night Owl Reviews “The beginning of the story leaves you wanting to know more. It has a unique premise. By the end of the first chapter, I was eager to finish the book…the author takes the reader on a wonderful journey” Cocktails and Books “There was humor, some angst, romance, and of course, I already mentioned the incredible sex. You’ll be quite satisfied by the end. I know I sure was.”
