BLURB:
Dom and IT department head Tom Raleigh has always considered cargo pilot Ivy Balloux his imaginary lover, until Tom’s sister steals Ivy’s fiancé. Convinced she’d rather eat glass than look at another Raleigh family member, Tom continues to keep his distance.
Dom and project manager Merrick Durante is so infatuated with Ivy that he has her flight days and times memorized. But the impending trial of Merrick’s brother for arson and murder has him keeping a low profile.
Ivy Balloux has worshipped Tom and Merrick from afar for years, but the convoluted history between their families has forced her to keep her distance. When the three finally get together, they work hard to overcome outside forces that would just as soon tear them apart.
When Tom’s sister plays a cruel joke on Tom and Merrick, they risk the curse on their families to leave the island and save Ivy from danger. Will they survive the curse?
REVIEW:
The deeper and deeper we are getting into the fates of the Raleigh and Durante families. Hopefully soon we will know who set the curse of the families
Ivy doesnt want anything to do with the Raleigh and Durante men. Tom and Merrick have wanted Ivy since high school and they are close to get her. Once they get Ivy they show her what it means to be with her Doms.
Would recommend to read the books in order, to truly understand the dynamics of the island and families.

Excerpt
STORY EXCERPT
He forced a smile to his face. “You do smell coffee. As for what time it is, who cares?”
She reached over him but he wasn’t fast
enough. She picked up her phone, scrolling to her missed call, still
frowning. “Looks like I missed something.” She’d see that the call had
lasted longer than necessary for someone to think about leaving a voice
mail message, but hadn’t done so.
“I’m sorry. I answered it.”
“Why?”
Why, indeed? “Because I’m an ass.”
“What did he want?”
“To ask you what time he was picking you up tonight.”
“Oh shit.” She groaned, then fall back
onto the bed. Merrick wasn’t sure whether to pump his fist in the air,
or hold her close until she told him what was going through her head. “I
can’t do this.”
“Come on. Have some breakfast. Let’s talk about it.”
“There’s nothing to talk about. I can’t do
this. I can’t see you both, and have sex with you both…and have there
be no conflict over it. How on earth did Alaina get together with Jeff
and Taj? Or Jade with Estevan and Liam?”
He handed her a cup of coffee. “There are
more than two triads on the island now.” She took it, taking a large
sip. “And I know for a fact that not all of the Doms were best friends
at first.”
She gave him a thoughtful look. “But we’re
not talking about the same thing. I mean wanting to make this a triad.”
She took another sip while she eyed him from under her lashes. “Are
we?”
He shrugged, then handed her a plate. “Eat
something. No one can talk about serious shit on an empty stomach, and
you must be as hungry as I am.”
That brought a smile to her face, and he
sent up a silent prayer of thanks. “I am starving. Thank you for this.
You didn’t have to.”
“Yes I did. You gave me a beautiful gift last night. I owe you a hell of a lot more than breakfast and coffee.”
“I don’t know what to say. Thank you.”
Didn’t she know what last night had meant
to him? He scooted closer to her and picked up his plate. “It wasn’t
just sex and play for me, Ivy. I’ve had a thing for you a long time.”
“Same here.”
He took a forkful of food to gather his thoughts. “Thank you for saying so. But I have to ask.”
She didn’t even wait for him to do so. She
put down her plate and shifted her body to him. “You and Tom both have
been in my fantasies for a long time. I don’t know why I never did
anything about it. Our families…and then Scott and Nadine…I have no
excuse.”
He put down his plate as well. “None of
that matters now. Okay? Seriously. It’s over and done. I only want to
move forward from this point.”
“But what am I supposed to do? I can’t even imagine what you each must think of me right now.”
He smiled. “I can’t speak for Tom, but I
don’t think any less of you now than I did before, if that helps at all.
I want to see you again. I want to see where this leads us. And I’ll
take it as slowly as you need me to go. The only thing I refuse to do is
pretend it never happened. I can’t do that. Not after last night.”
He was still staring into her eyes when his doorbell rang.
* * * *
Tom eyed Merrick’s sweatpants. “Did I wake you, too?”
“No. We were eating breakfast in bed. Come on up.”
“Really? No angry words? No threats?”
Merrick shrugged. “Why bother? You’re
here, she’s awake, and if makes you feel any better, she knows I
answered her phone and she’s conflicted about all this.”
That took the wind out of his sails. He
hadn’t meant to hurt Ivy. “Actually, that doesn’t make me feel better at
all.” Then again, what else did he expect?
“I don’t want to fight with you, Tom. I only want to figure out a way to make her feel better right now.”
“That makes two of us. Her happiness is what matters here.”
Merrick eyed him suspiciously. “I agree. I’m just surprised to hear you say that.”
“Why? I have as much stake in this as you do. And neither of us has a prior claim on her.”
He nodded slowly. “Right again. Let’s go.”
He followed Merrick upstairs, and when they entered his bedroom, Ivy
was dressed in an outfit that screamed dinner date. She must have put on
the same clothes she’d worn last night, which gave him one small
measure of satisfaction. She hadn’t planned on spending the night.
“There’s food left,” said Merrick. “You hungry?”
“No.” Tom glanced around, then sat on the
bed because there was no other place to sit. Ivy was in the armchair,
looking ready to bolt any second. “I’m sorry I called so early.” He
didn’t know what else to say.
“It’s all right.” Her voice came out small and tentative, and Tom hated that.
Merrick leaned against his dresser as
though they were all outside, having a cozy chat on the patio “So, I
guess we have a dilemma here.”
“I’ve already told Merrick I don’t know
what to do,” she said. “I like you both. You’ve been in my fantasies for
years. Even…” She stopped, her voice trailing off, and Tom swore she
was about to put a hand to her mouth as if she’d just spilled a terrible
secret.
“Even what?” he asked.
“Even when I was engaged to Scott. I never stopped thinking about you two.”
He swallowed hard. Scott had never deserved her. “What do you want to do?”
She glanced toward Merrick and then at him
again, but at least some of the fear had gone out of her eyes. “I want
to keep seeing you both.”
ADULT EXCERPT
“Are you ready?” asked Merrick, his voice full of amusement.
“Yes, Sir. I think so.”
“Not good enough. We need to know you’re all right.”
“I am. It’s just…new being blindfolded. But I’m very excited right now.”
“Okay. Good girl. Use your safewords if you need to.”
Ivy listened, but she didn’t hear
anything. When tiny pinpricks of pain rolled up and down her arms, at
first they reminded her of the metal cage, but this was different.
“It’s a Wartenberg wheel,” said Merrick. “What do you think?”
“I like it, Sir.” There was just enough discomfort to send shivers up and down her spine, but no real pain.
Tom brushed a feather along her abdomen,
and Ivy tried to move away, but her cuffs held her in place. “Not a fan
of being tickled?” he asked.
“Not my favorite thing, Sir.”
“Is that a safeword, then?”
She didn’t want to do that. She wanted to
relax against this very comfortable chair and experience everything they
wanted to give her. “No.”
“Good girl.” He alternated the feather
with what felt like sandpaper, although he didn’t press it hard against
her skin. Once she got used to the two sensations, she liked the
difference. Merrick used the Wartenberg wheel on her arms and legs, and
then he moved it over her neck, and between her breasts.
She moaned as Tom moved to using the
feather and sandpaper on the insides of her thighs, teasing the area
just short of touching her pussy lips. Merrick did the same thing with
his wheel, stopping short of rolling it over her breasts each time. It
had the intended effect. The closer they got each time, the more Ivy
wanted them to use the implements on her nipples and pussy.
She moaned softly, writhing as much as
possible against her cuffs in an effort to direct them where she wanted
them to go, but she also suspected they were prolonging this on purpose.
It was exquisite torture, and so much more sensual than the impact play
had been. Although she had really enjoyed that and hoped for more in
the future.
When they finally used the wheel, the
sandpaper, and the feather on her breasts and pussy, their touch was
delicate, as if testing her limits for each. She moaned louder, shaking
her head back and forth as her arousal built.
“I think she likes this,” said Merrick.
His voice was seductive and teasing, and Ivy was out of her mind with
need at the sound of it.
“Definitely,” said Tom, pushing a bit
harder on her clit with the paper. “Look how wet she is.” He slid a
finger into her pussy, and Ivy cried out as he moved it in and out a few
times. When he withdrew, she couldn’t take any more.
“Please…”
One of them kissed her on the nipples,
first one, then the other. “No way,” said Merrick. “We’re not even close
yet. But perhaps these will help?”
Ivy yelped as something pinched one nipple
then the other. The sharp prick of pain subsided right away, but there
was definitely something on her nipples. “What did you do, Sir?”
“They’re nipple clamps. What do you think?”
“I always thought they’d hurt.”
“They will when we take them off, but that
won’t happen for a while yet, and we’ll help you through it. They
enhance orgasms that way.”
“Oh…” She giggled as decadent images raced
through her head, but her silliness soon turned to groans of pleasure
as they alternated brushing their fingers over her breasts and pussy
lips, then the toys, then licking them. Each pass across the clamps sent
a tiny jolt of pain through her breasts as well, but Ivy loved the
sensation.
They varied the pattern so she never knew
what they were going to do next, and within a few moments their fingers
were moving in and out of her pussy and now her asshole, as well, at
random intervals. She was so ready to come she thought she’d burst.
“Please…”
“Beg all you want,” said Tom, planting soft kisses on her clit. “But we control it, Ivy.”
She smiled and leaned her head back as she
floated away into a blissful state once more. It was very close to the
one she’d been in Wednesday and last night, and she never wanted it to
end. Gradually, their mouths and hands replaced the toys, and when one
of them sucked her clit, an orgasm crashed over her that she was sure
would make her faint.
One of them removed the clamps, and Ivy
cried out in pain until he rubbed her nipples. The pain subsided, and
Merrick hadn’t been kidding about it enhancing her orgasm. It was
powerful and explosive, and she was certain she’d faint before it ended.
The other man kept up his finger fucking
and licking until the contractions finally stopped, and then one of them
grasped her hair and tugged on it, hard. “You’re in trouble now,”
hissed Merrick. “Did we give you permission to come?”
“Oh…No, Sir. You didn’t. I’m sorry. I
couldn’t help it.” The endorphin rush coursing through her body at his
words, and at his hand on her hair, was almost enough to bring on a
second climax.
“Too bad,” he said. “We have to punish you.”
