Desires by Galia Ryan
Description:
Anna is one of Elite Escort Agency's most popular call girls. She is quite comfortable living in the lap of luxury and pleasing a variety of wealthy men on her own terms; however, she longs to return to respectability. Only now she is accustomed to the best of everything. So Anna embarks on a quest to discover what else she is good for, other than dazzling every man who crosses her path.
Anna's calm is shattered when a former client resurfaces. A few years earlier Adam introduced Anna to bondage and submission. But although he held her in his thrall, Adam overestimated his power. When he demanded total surrender, she cut herself off from him forever. Now Adam is asking to see her again. Initially she refuses, but what can she do? She can't stop thinking about him.
The owner of Elite, Stephanie, is also haunted by memories of a former lover--Giancarlo, now married and dedicated to charitable work. When, after ten years, they come together once more, neither can resist the pull of their unresolved past, despite the possible consequences to Giancarlo's career.
Desires is Book 3 of the Luxuria Trilogy. It completes the cycle that began with Anna's story in Choices and Stephanie's in Secrets.
Excerpt
The club was full of fetish glam. The music was loud, and the red, blue, and green spotlights cleverly angled. Punks and Goths mingled with leather-clad Masters and mistresses. Slaves were being walked around on leashes. Naked breasts were on display everywhere. The crowd was as flamboyant as it was eclectic.
Adam took Anna’s hand, as if sensing her need for reassurance, and led her beneath a stone arch supported by Romanesque columns into a dimly lit room. Splayed across a pummel horse, a woman was moaning her gratitude as a leather strap came down on the quivering flesh of her backside. After watching closely for a moment, he untwined his fingers and settled his hand on her rubber-covered arse instead. It was a proprietary gesture, and the significance was not lost on her.
He leaned closer. “Do you wish you were her?”he wanted to know.
“No.”
“Lift your dress. I want to feel you.”
The tight rubber had moulded to her body to form a second skin. Before she could do as he’d asked she had to peel it away. It wasn’t easy. The rubber was good quality and difficult to stretch. After a lot of surreptitious pulling and tugging, the dress was high enough to please.
“Much better,” he whispered in her ear.
She felt the warmth of his palm as he stroked and caressed the rounded flesh of her arse, but it was nothing like the heat that had risen into her face. Others would be watching, noting what Adam was doing to her and rating her compliance. She turned slightly to confirm her suspicion and saw a Mistress tug on her slave’s collar and slap his face. She wondered what he might have done to incur such wrath. Stolen a forbidden look at another woman, perhaps?
Adam’s hand wandered farther, finding its way down between her cheeks. Wanting to please, she moved a little and parted her legs to give him better access.
“It turns you on.” His lips formed the words against her neck.
Knowing he was referring to the scene being enacted on the pummel horse, she shook her head.
“No,” she said quietly.
“Perhaps not the thought of pain, but watching has made you wet.”
She was silent.
“Perhaps we should visit the dungeon.”
Review
My rating = Four foxy stars!
*ARC provided by the author in exchange for my honest review
This is the third book in the Desires series and should not
be read as a standalone as the first two books covered Anna (Choices) and
Stephanie (Secrets) with their stories so far to this book which concludes the
series.
I’ve really enjoyed this series and I must admit it was Anna’s
story I become more involved in as Stephanie still remains a bit of an enigma
to me.
At the end of Anna’s story she was left with a conundrum of
staying with safe, dependable, loving and sexy fireman Jake or controlling,
exciting, scary but sexy Adam. The decision was an eyebrow raiser for sure but
none the less a welcome decision! I’ve loved seeing the journey of Anna from
shy, staid (ish) bank worker to exciting, exotic escort worker.
Stephanie has been through some challenging episodes in her
life from such a young age and it is through all this that brings her full
circle to where she is now running one of the most high esteemed and in demand
escort agency. I was always routing for her with Giancarlo and was interesting
to see what would happen when they eventually met again.
This series has opened my eyes to my pre-conceptions around
the escort industry and gives the reader an entertaining idea of what goes on
in this evocative industry.
I definitely would recommend reading this erotic and
enticing series. Desires is a great conclusion to the series. Four stars for
me.
