Innocent Eyes
ADULT title
by
Gabbi Black
Hardworking university student Tarah Peters has observed
tycoon Sebastian Merrick from her security guard post for weeks. Under his
gaze, she experiences desire for the first time in her life, and his unexpected
proposition both daunts and intrigues her.
Sebastian doesn’t proposition women, but feels compelled
to offer Tarah a place to live and money for her schooling while he introduces
her to his darkly erotic world. Her naïveté calls to him, but he must maintain
an emotional distance while showing her the meaning of submission.
Tarah yearns for Sebastian to admit he wants more than
just a Dominant/submissive relationship, that their enthrallment is mutual. Can
she convince him this might be more than just an affair?
She’s a diligent student.
He’s a masterful teacher.

Like clockwork,
Big Tits reappeared at four a.m. Tarah held the door open for the woman,
watching to make sure she made it to her cab. Although that service wasn’t in
her job description, she believed prudence was important. It wouldn’t do to
have one of Mr. Merrick’s companions get injured and sue the strata
corporation.
After watching
the taxi depart, she took in a deep lungful of frigid air before turning back
to her desk.
Sebastian Merrick
leaned against her console.
She stopped dead
in her tracks.
“Good evening, Miss Peters.”
She froze, rooted to the spot. Never in her
wildest dreams did she imagine he might know her name.
“Good evening, Mr. Merrick.” Morning had almost
dawned, but she followed his lead. “How may I help you?”
His gaze was intense and unwavering.
Maintain eye contact. Don’t let him see how he affects
you.
She tried to
hold his gaze but, in the end, she couldn’t. His eyes were too incisive, too
piercing.
“You get off
work at six, yes?”
She swallowed convulsively. Damn dry throat.
“That’s correct.”
“I’m taking you out to breakfast at
six-fifteen.”
That would give her enough time to change from
her uniform into street clothes. “That w-would be f-fine.” Stammer much?
He inclined his head and strode to the
elevators. Of course, one waited for him. Even an elevator wouldn’t dare defy
him.
When he disappeared into the car, and the doors
slid shut, she let out the breath she hadn’t even been aware she’d been
holding. Sitting because her legs couldn’t hold her any longer, she snickered
because it never occurred to her to say no.
