When a case at ALFA Private Investigation takes a dark turn, James is forced
to get Izzy involved in an undercover sting, and the assignment will test her
sexual boundaries as well as the very foundation of their relationship.
Can Izzy hold her tongue long enough to keep them both safe? Or will her
unwillingness to fully submit draw the eye of the very man they’re after?

“Izzy, please. Be reasonable.”
I loved when James begged. “Say it again,” I taunted him.
What the fuck with the be reasonable comment? I’m always reasonable. Okay,
maybe that isn’t entirely true. I usually shoot from the hip and save the
apologies for later. My big mouth has gotten me into more trouble over the
years, and much of it I try to forget, especially when it comes to James.
He arched an eyebrow, and the same shitty smirk that I’d grown accustomed to
flashed across his lips. “I could make you say yes.”
“Doubtful.” I glared at him, feeling supercocky even though I was in no
position to be.
James, my loving husband of over ten years, decided that tonight was a good
time to tie me to the bed. I should’ve known he was up to no good because it’d
been more than a little bit since he’d used restraints during sex. I figured we
were just getting our kink on and that he wanted to try something new, but
nope, the bastard knew I wouldn’t like what he was asking and made sure I
didn’t have an out.
“Baby,” he whispered, running his thumbs across my bottom lip and trying to
seduce me. “You know you can’t say no to me. Never have and never will.”
There were very few people in this world that could make me do anything, but
James had a power over me since the first night I met him. Saying no to him had
always been damn near impossible, and I almost hated myself because of it.
I never wanted to be that girl—the one who caved to anything her husband
asked. Never in my life had I wanted to be her, an easy mark and a carpet for
her husband to walk all over, but things don’t always turn out the way we plan.
I learned that the hard way.
James wasn’t even on my radar until the night of Joe and Suzy’s wedding when
he sauntered in with his good looks and charm. The arrogant bastard seemed to
work me like he’d known me my entire life, and I fell for it.
I thought I’d won when I snuck out. I figured I’d never see him again, so
what did it matter. Boy, was I wrong.
“I’ve said no to you plenty of times.” I refused to let him use his sexual
prowess, which I’d done in the past, but sometimes I had to dig my heels in and
find my inner bitch.
I pulled at the restraints and tried to break free, but it was useless. The
man could tie the most wicked knots, and it had been years since I’d been able
to wiggle out of them. Every time I escaped, he’d learn a new technique until
he found just the right one to render me helpless.
His lips scorched a path down my neck, and my back arched as if begging for
his touch. “Say yes, Izzy.”
I stifled the moan that formed low in my throat, but I squeaked instead when
he sucked my nipple into his mouth. My body rocked on its own, moving toward
him instinctively, wanting the bite of his teeth. His hand slid down my front,
cupping my pussy, not hard enough to give me pleasure, only the sweet torment
that he reveled in.
“Say yes, and I’ll give you what you want.”
He was playing with me. James was a master manipulator. I didn’t know if it
was his background with the DEA or just something he was born with, but he used
it perfectly when it suited his purpose.
I clenched my jaw, grinding my teeth together. “No.”
He pulled my panties to the side before dipping two fingers inside me with
the most sinful smile. “Last chance, baby,” he warned.
What was he going to do to me if I didn’t give in? The thought
passed through my mind, but I pushed it away. I was lost in the feel of his
hands on my skin and the ache between my legs, but my resistance held. “No,” I
bit out.
