✨EXCERPT: TAKEN IN SEDUCTION by @authorvictorialum releasing November 13th!
#PreOrderHere
“Kneel, fed. The laces are loose and the leather is dirty,” she says, her voice steel mixed with grit. “Fix it.”
A low murmur rises from the crowd as indignation flares hot inside my veins. I look at the Ivanovs and Elvira, noting the calculating gleam in their eyes, before turning my attention to Sofia, who’s still wearing a haughty smile.
“Priggish tin soldier,” she whispers so softly only I can hear it. “I dare you.”
“Lipstick queenpin.” I fight a smile.
I rise to my full height, watching her vexing lips part when she gazes up at me, an intoxicating blend of arousal, humor, and fear on her face.
“Stop wasting time, fed,” she says loudly for the crowd. “Kneel.”
The auditorium quiets.
“All good dogs kneel,” Boris sneers.
“Only if you trained them well and control the leash. Good dogs are hard to come by.” Sofia doesn’t look at him.
“Careful there,” I murmur only for her to hear. “You just called me ‘good.’ I’d think you like me.”
“On the ground, worshipping at my feet, you mean.” Louder, she says, “Hurry up.”
My pulse riots in my ears as my knees hit the floor with a bang. Heat rushes to my face—anger, embarrassment, and something more—as I wipe down her spotless boot with the back of my hand, then tie her shoelaces.
But I don’t let go.
Because I have a death wish. Because the gardenia in Sofia’s fragrance is clearly a neurotoxin, poisoning my synapses one by one.
Because I want to see what she’d do if I did this.
