distraction…

So many readers asked for more stories in my bestselling Hard Ink series, and I’m so excited to be able to give you just that in my new, super sexy HARD TO SERVE! HARD TO SERVE is an edgy stand-alone love story about a Baltimore police detective whose red-hot BDSM relationship with a new submissive seems like the perfect distraction from a trumped-up investigation against him until he learns that the woman is his boss’s daughter. Talk about sparks flying! I had so much fun writing this book, and I can’t wait for everyone to read it! And if you enjoy it, you might like to check out the whole Hard Ink series, now complete! Happy reading!
Kyler pressed a kiss to Mia’s forehead. “You can trust me to take care of you.” Sitting back, his gaze swept down her face, enjoying the pleased expression she wore. From the promise of his words or the kiss? He laid his hand against her sternum and slowly slid his palm upward until his thumb and fingers separated around the base of her throat. He applied just the slightest amount of pressure there.
She sucked in a breath, and that one reaction surged blood into his cock. Mia squirmed, rocketing his arousal even further.
“Be still,” he gritted out.
She froze, her eyes on his.
“How important is the breath play to you?” Her eyes dilated, her expression read as needy, and her breathing quickened. Her obvious excitement went a long way toward answering the question. And these reaction were exactly what he loved about it. But did she need it?
“I don’t have to have it, but…” She looked down, her eyelashes fanning out against her skin.
“Look at me and finish that sentence,” he said, his voice full of grit. Because against his fingers, her pulse was flying.
“But it probably excites me more than anything else, and it gets me off faster than anything else,” she said, her cheeks turning beautifully pink.
“Does it now?” Not that he really needed to ask. His grip tightened, just a little.
“Yes, Sir,” she whispered, her voice breathy, full of desire.
“Say my name,” he said, wanting to hear it with all that arousal coloring her tone.
“Yes, Master Kyler.”
Fucking hell.
In a quick move, he slid his hand up her back and fisted her ponytail, tugging her head backward and her whole body closer. Hand still gripping her throat, he shifted them so that she was almost reclining, allowing him to look down into her face.
And he thought her pulse had been flying before.
“You like to be choked?”
“Yes, Sir.”
“Choked to the point of not being able to breathe?”
“Yes, Sir.”
His grip tightened. “Gagged?”
“Yes. Sir,” she added, as if she’d momentarily forgotten protocol.
Jesus Christ, his cock was like fucking steel. “Asphyxiated to the point of passing out?” he asked, his gut twisting.
“I’ve never done that. The idea of it…” He nailed her with a stare, allowing her the time to gather the words the little furrow in her brow said she was looking for. “It both excites me and scares me, but I’m not sure which more.”
“Thank you for the honesty. I won’t go that far, Mia. I won’t put plastic over your head and I won’t duct tape your mouth. I also won’t use any bondage position that hangs you primarily by the throat or neck. If any of those are things you need, I won’t be able to give them to you,” he said, hoping like hell she didn’t need them. Occasionally, he had a moment of discomfort—maybe even cognitive dissonance—about the fact that he was both a cop and a Dom who got off on bondage and submission and spanking and even role-playing scenarios that flirted with non-consent. Because he’d seen the trauma real abuse caused. But what he did was safe, sane, and consensual, and he drew the line where any of those three might be compromised, which in his opinion included the edgier breath play.
A fast shake of her head. “No. I don’t want any of that. I just want—” Her eyes went wide.
“What, little one?” Satisfaction at her answer mixed with curiosity about what she’d not said. He needed to know.
Her throat worked under his hand in a hard swallow. “You.”

I am loving the continuation of this series. I enjoy the different couples and character mentions throughout each book. It's nice to check in with everyone.
Hard to Serve revolves Detective Kyler Vance. Vance was there when the Church Gang tried to take out Nick and his guys. Kyler is a very dedicated detective. He hates that his injury has forced him to sit behind a desk. His release is going to Blasphemy, the club he owns shares of with the other Masters.
Mia Breslin is the director of a hot art gallery. She is a submissive and is looking for a someone that can dominate her the way she needs. When she gets a temporary pass to visit Blasphemy, she’s excited and nervous, not knowing what to expect. The last thing she expects is to fall for the dark, sexy Master Kyler.
This story is very captivating. I was sad to see it end. I wanted more. The sex scenes were explosive. I can't wait to read more about these characters!

This Laura Kaye novella is part of the Hard Ink series, as well as being part of the 1001 Dark Nights family. So you are guaranteed both some deliciously hot erotica, as well as a catch up on our good friends after the adventures that they went through in previous books. Ms. Kaye delivers everything we might want...
Kyler Vance is finally getting over the shooting, and all the rest of the chaos that went down, when the new Commissioner insists that all officers need to be whiter than white – and given Vance was in the thick of it, he gets to be investigated too, much to his anger. Blowing off some steam with a subbie at the club he partly owns, Blasphemy, seems like an excellent plan. And there starts a scene with newbie Mia that is a definite treat (for them and the reader!). Hotness then just spills over and over. I liked the plot, the length, and the outcome. Thank you, Ms. Kaye.
