Shattered Bonds: Book Seven of Wicked Play (32 page)

“What are you watching?” Bowser asked when he trudged into the kitchen. At five foot ten and lean, he was one of the smaller forwards, which meant he had to be crazy fast on his skates to stay ahead of the bigger guys. He looked over Dylan’s shoulder. “That last night’s game?”

“Yeah.”

“Colorado lost, right?”

“Two to one,” Dylan confirmed. The Glaciers played Colorado at home the next day, which gave them ice advantage but nothing more. “You in the lineup tomorrow?” Bowser had spent most of this season as part of the Glaciers’s twenty skaters who dressed for each game, but as a third-line winger, his spot was questionable every game.

“As far as I know.” The man shrugged as he poured himself a cup of coffee. “I always assume I am and hope I’m right.”

Dylan followed that philosophy himself. His second-line defense spot was a bit more secure than Bowser’s, yet anything was possible in a game that changed nightly based on injuries and luck—good or bad. That was precisely why he was studying the other team. Chance wasn’t a game he liked to play.

He checked the time and stopped the game. “Any of you hungover slugs up for a bike ride?” he asked as he passed the sprawled-out men.

“Outside?” Shaffer whined.

“Downstairs,” Feeney answered for Dylan. “Cowboy has a fuck-awesome gym down there.”

Karver was already moving to stand. “I’m in. I need to sweat the alcohol out before practice.”

“Shit,” Bowser moaned. “I guess I have to if the rest of you are.”

“You bench riders have such a hard life,” Karver mocked.

“Like you can talk.” Bowser smacked the man on the back of his retreating leg.

Dylan shook his head and disappeared down the hall to his bedroom. Working out wasn’t an option for him. Not when the average retirement age for pro hockey players was twenty-five. This season was too critical for him to fuck around or fuck up, and the pressure of that weighed on him every damn day.

Deklan Winters has had his eye on his attractive neighbor for months, but only senses Kendra is no stranger to the BDSM scene when she walks into his club. And he can tell that’s not her only secret.

After his bad experience, Tyler has no interest in being with another Dom. Yet he can’t deny his attraction to Master Seth. When Seth offers him a place to stay, Tyler agrees—if Allie will stay too. But what good is a
chaperone who adds to his temptation?

Bonds of Denial

It’s been twenty years since Rockford Fielding’s father punished him for kissing another boy. Now a grown man with a military career behind him, Rock continues to deny his true desires, even while working security at The Den, the most decadent sex club in town. But after a year of watching gorgeous Carter Montgomery come and go on the arms of other men, Rock can no longer resist the cravings he’s denied for so long.

One charmingly awkward date turns into two and soon the men are meeting off the clock. But with Rock in the closet and Carter unsure how to pursue a real relationship, how can they build a future both in and out of the bedroom?

Bonds of Courage

Book six of Wicked Play

Pro hockey player Holden Hauke has kept his sexual needs buried for years. But with the season over, he’s ready to surrender control. And he’s found just the woman to help him. Vanessa Delcour—aka Mistress V—is a full-time rep for pro athletes, a part-time owner of exclusive sex club The Den, and an experienced Domme. But when Holden Hauke comes looking for a discreet partner, Vanessa’s concerned about his motives. Touching his training-toned body during a scene wouldn’t exactly be a hardship, but taking him on crosses barriers between work and play that she’s had in place for years.

From their first intense encounter in Mistress V’s playroom, Hauke knows he can’t let this chance slip away; he’s found the woman he’s always needed. Submissive or not, he’s willing to push her every limit to prove how good they can be together.

About the Author

Lynda Aicher has always loved to read. It’s a simple fact that has been true since she discovered the words of Judy Blume at the age of ten. After years of weekly travel as a consultant implementing computer software into global companies, she ended her nomadic lifestyle to raise her two children. Now, her imagination is her only limitation on where she can go and her writing lets her escape from the daily duties of being a mom, wife, chauffeur, scheduler, cook, teacher, volunteer, cleaner and mediator. If writing wasn’t a priority, it wouldn’t get done.
