Anchor Me teaser 7

 

I stand there for a moment, enjoy the view and letting my imagination fill in the blanks. But I want more than imagination, and so I peel off the nightgown and let it drop onto the floor. I don’t usually sleep in one unless there are guests in the house, but I’d been wearing it on the couch last night, and Damien hadn’t undressed me when he put me to bed.

Now, I stand naked and watch the shape of him move in the steam. I’d been aroused even before I entered this room, simply from the thought of him. But now, seeing him in this wet heat, my body is on overdrive. My nipples are hard, my sex clenching with need. I want his touch—and I damn well intend to have it.

His back is to me when I open the door, his face in the pounding water. I’ve let a wash of cool air in, though, and he turns to face me. As he does, I see the heat flare in his eyes. More interesting, though, is the way his cock hardens, the immediacy of his reaction making absolutely clear that Damien has no objections to my joining him here this morning.

He opens his mouth to say something, but I press a finger over his lips, then step closer. He’s almost finished his shower, so his body is no longer slick with soap. I consider that a good thing, because as I kiss his chest, he tastes fresh and clean.

I move slowly down, licking his skin, teasing the light smattering of hair on his chest. I flick my tongue over his nipple and am rewarded by the way he grabs my hair, his body stiffening beneath my hands that are sliding down his body, too, keeping time with the progress of my kisses.

I go lower, dropping to my knees as I reach his navel. His abs are rock hard and the muscles quiver under my lips. I can tell I’m driving him crazy, and he tightens his grip on my hair even as his other hand reaches for the side of the stall to steady himself.

Lower and lower, my lips teasing his skin, tracing that magical line of hair that leads from just below his navel all the way down to his cock. And when I reach it, thick and wet, I draw my tongue along the velvet steel as Damien moans under my ministrations.

With purposeful slowness, I lick around the head, then flick the end of my tongue over the tip, tasting the pre-come. Then I draw him in, and as I do, the hand that Damien has twined in my hair shifts to the back of my head. At first he just holds me steady, but as I suck in long, deep strokes, he groans with satisfaction and longing, and tightens his grip.

Right now, I’m the one in control, but I can feel that control slipping from me. No, not slipping. Damien is grabbing it by grabbing me—by holding tight to my hair and keeping me in place as he fucks my mouth, totally turning the tables on me.

But I don’t care. I’m too turned on to care, and as his cock fills my mouth and water pounds down over us, I slip my hand between my legs and touch myself, then whimper softly. I’m slick and swollen and so turned on it’s painful, and as I suck my husband’s cock, I tease myself, seeking release.

I’m close, too, so close I can feel electricity filling my body like an approaching thunderstorm. I can feel the tension building in Damien, too, and I know the explosion is coming.

Doesn’t matter. He pulls back, leaving my mouth open in surprise. Then he pulls me to my feet and turns me around, his hands gliding over my wet skin as he spins me. “Hands on the wall,” he demands, and I comply eagerly as his fingers slide over my ass to find my core. And then his cock is there, and he’s pounding inside of me, his hands tight on my breasts as he orders me to “finish what you started, baby. Touch yourself. I want to feel you come with me.”

I don’t hesitate, and as Damien’s wet body slaps against mine—as he thrusts deeper and deeper inside me—I tease my clit, feeling the shockwaves gather inside me, readying for an explosion.

And when Damien’s body goes rigid—when he thrusts hard that one final time—when he releases completely inside me, that’s when I finally go over, my deep cry of satisfaction ringing out in harmony with his as our bodies shake and quiver together from the force of our simultaneous release.

When the shockwaves have faded, he turns me gently in his arms, then rinses me off before shutting off the stream of warm water. He opens the door, and steam curls into the rest of the bathroom.

He leads me out onto the fluffy bathmat, then uses a thick, cotton towel to dry me off.

Only then do I lean my head back, smile, and speak to him for the first time. “Good morning, Mr. Stark.”

“Yes,” he says, matching my grin. “It is.”

my review beach banner

I love J. Kenner and love Damien and Nikki even more. I have enjoyed their ongoing story that started with Release Me. This novella, Deepest Kiss, can be read alone, but don’t cheat yourself. At least read the first three books in the series to understand the dynamics of Damien and Nikki’s relationship. Julie Kenner has a remarkable talent in her writing to keep the reader wanting more from this story without it feeling old or over done. Every new novella or book shows the reader another facet to Damien and Nikki’s love.

In the “Deepest Kiss”, Nikki seems to take the center stage as this story revolves around her and a mysterious new client named Frank. Does Frank really want her to design an app for him or does he want more? He is quick to want to settle into the same town as Nikki. Just what does he want from her? I love how other characters from previous stories are intertwined into this one like Jackson and Sylvia, Jamie and Ryan. It makes me believe that Damien and Nikki have settled into their lives and roles as a family with those they love around them. Nikki is protected by those alpha males around her and in turn, Nikki and Damien come to help Jackson and Sylvia in their moment of need. I suspect there is another novella in the works as the questions weren’t all answered in this one. I am sure there is more to the story for Frank, Damien and Nikki.

Damien’s love for Nikki is so endearing to read about. He will do anything for her, never giving up on her and wanting to protect her at all cost. He never smothers, giving her room to spread her wings but he is always in the background to come to her aid if and when she needs. Their love and hunger to devour each other is written so beautifully and always exciting to read! Julie Kenner has such a talent to make the reader want to go through the pages right into the book itself.

EXCERPT

 

“You wouldn’t,” I say, though I can’t keep the genuine worry out of my voice.

“Wouldn’t I?”

I shake my head, trying to appear more certain than I feel.

“Why not?”

“Because that wouldn’t just punish me. It would torture you, too.”

“It would,” he agrees. “And while I’m not usually averse to self-sacrifice for a good cause–and,” he adds as his eyes skim over my body, “you are a very good cause–tonight I have something else in mind. Take off your jeans, baby. Take off everything and get on the floor. I want you at my mercy.”

“I’m always at your mercy,” I say as I begin to comply, and from the gleam in his eyes, it’s clear that he knows it.

“You are,” he says, a softness sneaking in to dull the sharp edge of his voice. “As much as I’m at yours. But I’ve been thinking about you all day, hot and naked and wet for me. And tonight I’m taking what I want. And baby? I promise you’re going to enjoy it.”

I’m on the floor now, my clothes abandoned, and I whimper a little as his words caress me, making my nipples peak and my clit throb. I have absolutely no doubt he’s right. But enjoy is to mild a term. Whatever he has planned, I’m going to fucking love it.

“Roll over and get on your knees,” he demands as he unbuttons his shirt, then tosses it aside.

I do as he says, then look over my shoulder to see him, looking magnificent with his broad shoulders and tight abs. He’s strong and lean and hard, and there’s no question that he used to be an elite athlete. I don’t care about tennis at the moment, though. On the contrary, right then all I want to do is taste every delicious inch of him.

my review

If you have read the Stark Trilogy Series then you know Damien and Nikki. This was a sweet, sexy, hot story about their first Valentine’s Day that certainly didn’t disappoint me in any way.

Damien and Nikki return from the honeymoon, back to the real world but still very much in love. A bit more relaxed too I would say. Damien loves to show Nikki his love and this Valentine’s Day, he sends her on a scavenger hunt for her present. This was fun. Nikki gladly accepts the challenge and with Jamie’s help she solves most of the clues. It wasn’t easy. Damien REALLY put thought and work into this hunt. Does the man ever sleep? Always the thoughtful one, Damien relishes in Nikki’s happiness.

If you remember the story of Damien and Nikki, there is a black cloud that lingers around Damien. He is rich and popular. Someone is always out to extort money or blackmail him. This time Nikki’s BFF Jamie is involved along with Damien. He struggles with paying the person or calling their bluff since Nikki, and now Jamie are family and his to protect. Interesting how he handles it. I was certainly surprised.

The love scenes between Nikki and Damien are well written. When Damien needs a release from tension and anger, Nikki gives herself over to him. All of her. When Nikki is scared and upset, Damien is there for her release instead of a knife. They are so good for each other and compliment one another knowing what the other needs. Sometimes no words are exchanged, just actions. It is beautiful to read.

I love J. Kenner’s Stark Trilogy series and will certainly read more books by her. Her characters are believable and fun mixed with danger and excitement. While I wasn’t on the edge of my seat with this novella, I know that I have been before with Damien and Nikki. I enjoyed their beautiful Valentine’s Day story with a hint of danger.
