Miki bristled at the tone of command in his voice. “I am perfectly capable of getting out of a vehicle myself.” “Indulge me.” Diarmid grabbed his garbage, shoving the SUV door open. He stalked around the vehicle where Miki waited for him. She didn’t know why she waited, but she did. He opened her door and lifted her to the ground. He grabbed her garbage along with his and she moved out of the way so he could close the door. He stopped at the back of the SUV to grab his kit then headed for the front entrance. Miki ran to keep up as he crossed the street. He slowed to accommodate her shorter legs and from that moment on, she didn’t have to run anymore. “Sorry,” he muttered. “No problem.” She glanced at his kit. “You weren’t kidding about keeping it stocked were you?” “No, Mikaela, I wasn’t.” Diarmid raised a red-gold brow at her as his lips twisted into a wicked smile. “I keep my weapon clean and ready for use whenever it’s needed too. You’re welcome to inspect it at length if you’d like.” Miki blushed a fiery red from his suggestive banter, almost tripping up the stairs as they climbed the steps to the entrance. “Yeah. Um… Right. I’ll take your word for it, Diarmid.” Miki could almost visualize his weapon ready for use and had to look away when he chuckled at her as he pulled open the entry door to allow her to precede him. “Too bad. I was looking forward to showing it to you.” His gravelly voice sent chills down her spine making her clit throb in response. Damn him, he was enjoying this. She stopped to slug him in the shoulder before breezing past him through the doors. His laughter echoed behind her. Half a dozen cops stared at her as if she had two heads when Diarmid followed her inside. He tossed the garbage into a trash can, motioning her toward the elevators. Miki sucked down the last of her shake and threw it away. She glanced around the lobby. Miki had the impression the cops in view wondered how she was still alive after whacking him. She raised her brows at one or two of them. They looked away, pretending they had other business to conduct. She shook her head. “Do they think you’re a god or something?” Miki asked curiously after the elevator doors closed behind them. “No, but I do outrank them.” “Your rank wasn’t the reason they looked at me like I’d just taken my life in my hands by smacking you, though I think you will admit you deserved it.” Miki turned to him. Diarmid pressed the stop button, set his kit on the floor and stalked her into the corner of the elevator. “All I did was offer to let you inspect my weapon.”

Controlling Interest - new cover, new release!

I received the rights back for my story Controlling Interest. It's part of the sexy Erotically Bound series with Hanky Spanky.

Here's the blurb and an excerpt along with the cover reveal of the new cover designed by Dar Albert at Wicked Smart Designs!

Controlling Interest

Francesca Hawley

It's hard to keep things strictly business when the naturally submissive Mozelle “Mouse” Vincent challenges Torin Stuart at every turn and he finds there's more at stake than a controlling interest in the exclusive BDSM club they now share. Because love is the ultimate prize in their power exchange.

Note: This title was previously published.

An Excerpt From:

CONTROLLING INTEREST

Copyright © FRANCESCA HAWLEY, 2011, 2016

She looked beyond Mouse and smiled. “Perfect. He’s right on time for once.”

“He who?”

“Torin.”

“Oh my God…” Mouse shivered and ducked her head, adjusting her mask to make sure her face was completely covered.

Mistress Zarah surveyed her. “Oh, now that’s just not fair. I bet you creamed your panties, didn’t you?”

“Mistress, could you please keep your voice down?” Mouse hissed, heat filling her cheeks.

Zarah chuckled. “Oh, I don’t think so. But for your sake, I suggest you don’t speak much when he comes over here or he might recognize your voice.” She turned her head to look behind Mouse. “Ah, Torin. How are you, dear?”

He came around Mouse and gave Zarah a brief hug and a kiss on the cheek. “Well enough, considering.”

“It’s such a loss. We’ll miss Regine terribly, you know that, don’t you?”

“I do. Thank you.” Torin turned and looked Mouse over from head to toe. “Very nice. Is she yours?”

“No, darling. A guest who wants to explore the dark side.”

“As a submissive or is she a Domme in training?”

“Submissive.”

Tor turned the full force of his gaze on her. Their eyes met briefly before she dropped her gaze to his shoes. Please let him not recognize her. Please.

“Yes, definitely a submissive,” he purred. He lifted his hand and paused, glancing at Zarah. “May I?”

“The choice is hers.”

“Do you have a name?” He asked, brushing a strand of hair off her forehead. Normally, she kept her bushy hair pinned severely back, but the letter that arrived with the clothes ordered her to let it fall around her face naturally.

She glanced at Mistress Zarah, begging for help. Zarah smiled. “Her name is Minnie.”

“Minnie? Unusual.”

“That’s her name tonight. Who knows? Her name tomorrow might be Mickey.”

Mouse glared at Zarah, who just laughed.

“Do you want to play with me, Minnie?”

Mouse’s eyes flew to Tor’s. Did he know? Surely not. And what the hell did he mean by play?

“Play?” she squeaked. Damn it. Why did she always have to squeak like a mouse when she was anxious? At least Tor was unfamiliar with her nervous habit because by the time they’d met, Regine had worked the squeak right out of her.

He chuckled, his fingers trailed along the bare skin of her arm from her shoulder to her wrist. Gently, he encircled her wrist and rubbed the vulnerable skin there with his forefinger.

“Yes, Miss Squeak. Play. That means you and I go someplace private and I give you a spanking you’ll never forget. A spanking that will have you begging for more.”

Mouse couldn’t catch her breath as he lightly ran his fingertips up to her elbow. He leaned close and brushed his lips along the edge of her ear. She jerked when his tongue flicked against her lobe.

“Sensitive, aren’t you?” he murmured.

“Yes.”

“Yes, Sir.”

“Oh sorry. Yes, Sir.” Her voice was barely a whisper.

He chuckled in her ear. His hand moved from her elbow to her waist while he tormented her by trailing the fingers of his other hand from her wrist to her shoulder. Then he brushed a finger along her shoulder and up along her neck. Mouse couldn’t stop the shiver that coursed through her at his touch.

“You haven’t answered my question. Would you like to play with me?”

She closed her eyes at his purr. God, she wanted him. But what was she letting herself in for if she agreed to this? She opened her eyes and she saw Mistress Zarah grinning at her.

“The choice is yours. What do you want?”
