Stripped

By Jennifer Leeland

Tessa Aden has it all...a great job, good friends, and a fantastic boyfriend. She just has one problem, she’s never had an orgasm during sex. When Zac misinterprets an Instant Message from a friend as a complaint about his technique in the bedroom, she’d rather let him walk away than admit her dark desires.

Fearing she wouldn’t understand his dominant nature, Zac Shandler gave up the BDSM lifestyle to be a part of Tessa’s vanilla life. Yet he seems to be losing her anyway. Will Zac put his heart on the line to claim Tessa’s love and finally force her to reveal the secret she keeps?

Jennifer Leeland

New York Times best selling author Jennifer Leeland has been telling stories since she was very young. Most people were so small minded as to call it lying until she was able to put her stories on paper. Now they call it fiction.To know what she writes, you have to know that the first question she asks about a book or movie is "Does it have a happy ending?". If it doesn't, she's not interested. Her love of kinky people and kinky stuff has led her to write about relationships that are slightly bent and probably flawed. You can always count on two things with a Jennifer Leeland book: angst and kink.She lives with a Redneck, who loves to brainstorm with her on occasion and her two hulking teenagers in the Northern California Boonies. She is also a moderator for the award winning writer's forum Romance Divas where I've been a member since 2006.To learn more you can go to http://jenniferleeland.com

Reviews

Kudos, Ms. Leeland! You gave us characters of such rich dimensions, who could explore past hurts to create something of worth. I cheered this couple on and was highly satisfied with this whole story. I only ask that you quickly follow up this work with David¢s story. I would love to see this Dom fall just as hard as Justin. ~ Victoria of Two Lips Review

Chapter One

She was so close!

The spiraling pressure in Tessa Aden’s body built to a fever pitch and sweat glided down her temple. She clutched the cotton sheets to keep from sliding into the headboard as Zac rammed his cock deep into her pussy.

His hand released its tight grip on her hip, and his palm connected with her upper thigh. Her body jerked, and she stilled as shock and pleasure burned from where he had smacked her to her core. Almost immediately, his touch lightened, softened, his pace slowed.

No! No! Hit me again!

He felt so good inside her but...

Fuck me harder, harder, harder.

She couldn’t say the words.

It had happened again. As always, Tessa glimpsed the cliff, the height of pleasure, but couldn’t get over it. Once again, she was left frustrated.

It didn’t matter that Zac seemed unwilling to give up. The frantic passion that brought them to this moment, in her bed, increased. He’d shown up on her door and swept her in his arms with no words, no discussion. He’d patiently, but insistently, coaxed her until she was strung as tight as a violin. He took his time to make her burn for him, need him. But the ultimate prize eluded them both.

His blond hair was skewed and gorgeous; his gaze scorched her face as he continued to slide in and out of her body.

She grasped his head and met him thrust for thrust. His back stiffened, and he tossed his head back as he let go of his release. Even though she couldn’t come, it was a supremely satisfying feeling to feel his hot spray inside her. She sighed with pleasure.

Zac rolled off her and flung his arm over his forehead. As Tessa cuddled up to him, she could tell he was disturbed. They’d been together five months, and she read his body language so well. She knew he was hungry, often before he did. Subtle differences in his facial expression told her when he was tired, frustrated or horny.

His expression at the moment screamed frustration.

Guilt swamped her. He was upset because she hadn’t had an orgasm. Ever. Not with him. Not with any man in her entire life. Of course, she hadn’t told Zac that fact. After all their time together, she still couldn’t seem to bring herself to tell him the truth.

You’re not happy. His toneless voice startled her out of her thoughts.

"I don’t know what
