BY BETHANY BAZILE

HOSTED BY THE BOOK ENTHUSIAST PROMOTIONS

Synopsis:

Avery was unexpected but exactly what I needed. She gave me hope again, made me feel things I thought died over a decade ago.

I was reverting back to the man I used to be. The man who destroyed lives to keep the one person who meant everything to him.

My secrets were piling up. I didn't know how long I’d be able to maintain it all.

But I knew I’d do anything to keep her.

There was only one way to hold on to her. I had to let her see who I was underneath it all.

 

REVIEW

This story was given to me in exchange for an honest review and is the second installment in the Sexual Misconduct Series.

The first segment left on with a bit of a cliffhanger as we realize that Gabriella the stripper, that Xander was sleeping with at the start of story one, the one who gave him the business card for Avery is actually her roommate, little innocent Ellie. Wow, what a secret these two have to keep now. Avery will be devastated to know the truth. But it does provide for some very awkward situations when Xander and Ellie are in the same room.

Avery and Xander continue to get close to one another, physically and emotionally. She is able to get him to open up to her and explain the reasons behind the nightmares. She is understanding him a little bit more now knowing the reason for his demons and works to help him work through the guilt that he is feeling.

There feelings for one another deepen and they are soon exchanging “I love You’s” They are quickly becoming the centre of each other’s lives. Their love is deep and all consuming. The sex between them is frequent and very hot as their deep commitment to one another is shown in their lovemaking.

But all is not as quiet and calm as it appears. Best friend Marcus has been digging into the past of our favourite Dr Avery and what he finds will blow the lid wide open on their relationship. It might be the end. It just might be something that neither one of them can find the courage to get past.

Excerpt:

Let’s Play Doctor

Xander

“I need help.” I licked my lips and smiled at Avery because I knew she had a weakness for my dimples.

“What kind of help?” Avery furrowed her eyebrows, gazing at me over her glasses.

“I have an obsession with sexy doctors who pull their hair up in tight buns but wear sexy garters and naughty underwear.”

“Well, Mr. Pierce, sounds like you need therapy.” Avery came around the desk and leaned her ass on the edge, pulling off her glasses and eying me.

“It’s really severe, Dr. Shaw. My fingers tremble with the need to let her hair down, my mouth waters from her smell, and my dick gets so… hard.”

She stepped forward, bit down on her bottom lip as she leaned over, and rubbed my cock through the fabric of my pants. “It’s not only hard. It’s feverishly hot.”

“What can you do for me, doctor?”

She smiled. A slow, sultry smile. She unfastened my belt, dragged my zipper down, and pulled out my cock. “Maybe I can cool it down.” She cupped my balls in her palm and massaged them, her lips brushing against mine. “With my mouth,” she whispered against my lips.

I hissed.

She dropped down to her knees, looked up at me, then rolled her tongue over the head of my cock. I jolted. It was all I could do not to come. She caressed the underside of my dick, then flicked her tongue into the seeping slit.

Ohh… fuck. She was going to kill me. Hundreds of blowjobs and I never felt anything like this. Once she got her mouth on my cock, there was no such thing as a simple blowjob. It was more like a blast of pleasure, a rush of sensation, and then a series of aftershocks once the earthquake passed.

Her mouth worked me hard and fast. I laced my fingers into her hair and restrained her, because the only way I’d survive this was if I took the bull by the horns and controlled it. She peered up at me, trying to persuade me with her blue gaze to let her drive me mad.

But fuck that. If I was going to pour my soul out to her today, I was going to savor this moment. I guided her up and down my shaft, her lips soft and her mouth hot. She licked the head every time I pulled her back, sucking me almost to the base when I pushed her down.

She’s too good at this. I’m going to blow soon.

The next time I pulled her back, she licked my cock with this wicked smile on her lips. Then she sucked it into her mouth and twisted and sucked and twisted. The pleasure was too much. I fucking whimpered, shuddered, then growled because I was pissed she’d won. She wasn’t going to let me stall at all. I came in a hot rush of pleasure that raced up and down my spine, then shot out into her mouth.

She swallowed it. I think. My mind was in a whirlwind and I couldn’t focus on much of anything that happened after that orgasm.

She sat in my lap and kissed me. Yeah… she swallowed because she tasted like me. She held me until my breathing evened out. Then she stood up and tucked my dick back in my pants.

“Xander,” she said, pushing away my hand as I tried to slip it back up her thigh. “I know you’re stalling.” Her expression was effectively sobering. The room went from reverberating sexual cries to brimming with tension in a few short minutes. “We agreed to meet here because you said you would take this seriously.”

“What just happened here was serious as fuck.” I smirked, trying to lighten up the solemn tone that was setting in around us

She frowned.

“Fine.” I huffed a breath. “But before we continue, I want to tell you I’ve never been good at relationships.

“What do you mean by that?

“I mean I’m controlling and manipulative. I become consumed when I feel something for a woman.

“Don’t worry about any of that. I just want to know who you are underneath all the bullshit. Underneath the asshole persona, who are you?”
