A gorgeous hot novella that had me glued to the pages. Aidn is an experienced Dom who's been shying away from commitment for too long. His friends urge him to get involved with another woman, but none have taken his fancy until he recognises a face while out shopping one lunchtime. He's seen her at the exclusive D/s club that he frequents, but never spoken to her until now.<< "Hello."She stopped, stumbled a bit and looked up. Within seconds, a blush stole across her cheeks. She recognized him, and a jolt of pleasure raced through his blood. >>Bailey has lusted after him for months and never been noticed before; she's suspicious of why he now wants to talk to her.<< He wanted to tie her up, bind her, shield her eyes and gag her mouth so all that was left was sensation. What he didn't want was to stand in the middle of the sidewalk, shifting from one foot to the other with the silence growing between them. >>He persuades her to have coffee. It's a disaster.<< The tensing of her shoulders, the stiffening of her movements when she got up to throw her cup in the trash were all telltale signs. She was ready to be away from him and he couldn't blame her. He was ready for their little disaster of a conversation to be over as well. >>Somehow, he retrieves the situation - and miracle of miracles - she agrees to take him back to her place for sex in the afternoon. A one off lust-filled encounter. It's incredible. But it's too much for him and he runs out on her while she sleeps.When he comes to his senses, he goes to see her and finds she's a cake-maker by trade, running her business beneath her apartment.<< There was such a warmth in the bakery, like coming home after school on a spring day to a house smelling of freshly baked cookies. He wasn't a homey kind of guy, he wasn't nostalgic, but one would never have known that if they were privy to his thoughts in that moment. >>He wants her badly... but it's not enough.<< "I shouldn't have come back today. I tried. I tried to stay away. Everything about you isn't for me, everything you make me feel, make me want isn't for me. I...I'm sorry."And, for the second time in as many weeks, he ran. >>They are both miserable. Can Aidn make it up to Bailey? Is she willing to risk her heart a third time?It's a lovely story, hot and emotional in turn, and another great read from Lissa Matthews. 5 out of 5.
