The Ties That Bind (Brie's Submission Book 22) Read online

  His manly groans sent a second orgasm crashing over her and she came more powerfully than the first time. The intensity of her climax consumed her—just before she felt the warm gush of her watery come.

  “Yes,” Sir murmured huskily.

  Brie let out mewing noises afterward, totally spent by their sensual power exchange. Sir pulled out slowly, weak from the encounter.

  She looked back at him and smiled, noticing the look of vulnerability in his eyes. It was the same look she’d seen that first night.

  “I love you,” she said fervently, grateful for this scene of remembrance.

  Sir met her gaze and smiled. “I never told you, because I refused to admit it to myself at the time, but that night I knew I would never let you go.”

  Late in the night, after Penny left and Brie had checked on both children, she curled up against Sir’s naked body.

  Brie lay there in pure bliss, thinking back on all the people she’d spoken to that evening. Their enthusiasm for her documentary left no doubt that this unprecedented collaboration was going to be something truly extraordinary.

  “Best night ever,” she murmured dreamily.

  “Exceptional,” Sir agreed, pulling her closer to him.

  But, as perfect as the evening was, Brie knew things were not over with Greg Holloway. The man was used to getting his way, and he was especially cruel in his revenge whenever he didn’t. Brie knew he would be gunning for her after the spectacular way he had been dethroned in front of all his peers.

  It gave Brie great comfort to know Mary had the protection of the Submissive Training Center behind her now. The trainers at the Center were a wall of protection that Holloway could not breach.

  But something else needled at Brie’s heart, and she struggled to fall asleep despite her exhaustion. “Sir?”

  “Yes, babygirl.”

  “I missed having Rytsar and Faelan there tonight.”

  “Their absence was unfortunate but understandable.”

  She snuggled against him. “Still, I feel…” She searched for the right word. “…unsettled by it.”

  “If I’m honest, I felt troubled by it, as well.”

  Time passed slowly as she lay in the dark, fighting to sleep.

  Wondering if Sir had succumbed, she whispered, “Are you still awake?”

  “I am,” he answered in a serious tone. “However, I know what will help us both fall asleep faster.”

  She turned in his arms to face him. “What?”

  “We will make a stop in Russia before we visit Nonno and Nonna.”

  An acute sense of relief flooded through Brie. “That would ease my heart.”

  “Go to sleep now,” he commanded gently, kissing her forehead. “I need you to be well-rested for what lies ahead.”

  I hope you enjoyed The Ties That Bind!

  Hey Everyone!

  I’m Red Phoenix, an author who also happens to be a submissive in real life. I wrote the Brie’s Submission series because I wanted people everywhere to know just how much fun BDSM can be.

  There is a huge cast of characters who are part of Brie’s journey. The further you read into the story the more you learn about each one. I hope you grow to love Brie and the gang as much as I do.

  They’ve become like family.

  Dedication

  I dedicate The Ties That Bind to my muses!

  They took me on an incredible journey I wasn’t expecting. I thought I knew where we were headed, but then the story took beautiful twists and turns that completely awed me. However, it was the tender moments in this book that took my breath away and melted my heart.

  After we all survived the unexpected death in Her Sweet Surrender, we needed a book full of hope, inspiration and love.

  The muses knew this and took us along for the ride!

  My muses were not only tender, but sexy as heck in this book.

  For me, the best part is near the end. My friends, this is something we have waited a long time for and it is spectacular and glorious.

  Heck to the yeah!

  Of course, I must thank you for your unwavering support and patience, my dear fans.

  Big hugs to my editor Kh Koehler and my wonderful betas, Brenda, Becki, Marilyn, and Kathy.

  Extra huge hug to Pippa Jayne who agreed to help me release the audiobook at the same time as the book. You and I have created memories through this endeavor, my courageous friend.

  Much love to MrRed, who is forever my knight in shining armor.
