I
can’t believe it has been two years this June since Maggie’s Secret Wish, my first release with Decadent Publishing,
came out with the 1Night Stand Series. Where, oh wher,e does time go?
When
we last saw Maggie and Ian, she had gone to Scotland to see if the stubborn
Scot could fulfill more of her dreams…the rest of their lives kind of dreams.
After he’d nearly hugged her to death on his doorstep, he vowed to never let
her go again. Did he hold true to that promise? I’d like to take this
opportunity to share in Maggie’s surprise for Ian to celebrate their second
anniversary together.
Maggie’s
heart skipped merrily about as she prepared to welcome her husband home after
his recent book tour. She had trouble believing they’d been together for two
years. So much had changed in their lives. She’d moved all the way from Kansas
City to Scotland. She still did some website designing, but she could afford
now to be real picky about whom she took on as clients. Ian had become her
biggest and most important client. She had taken over his websites and most of
his social media work, all chores he detested. She had also become the heroine
in his new erotica series, something which had taken a little getting used to
at first. But that fact really was their little secret.
She
glanced at their enormous bed with four thick rich mahogany columns stretching
from the floor nearly to the ceiling. Halfway up one of the bed posts was a big
velvety soft ribbon, tied in a bow, waiting…
A
shiver of a delicious memory crawled over her. She could be so “naughty”
sometimes. Or was it Ian who behaved so naughtily when he tied her there, when
he did such very wicked things to her. God, she loved her big, bad Scot.
She
hurried over to the camel-backed antique trunk that had once housed small weapons
of his Highlander warrior ancestors. Now it held their stash of goodies they’d
been collecting. She’d added a few items while he’d been gone the last month.
Excitement
tearing through her, she picked up the pink and black fluffy flogger. The downy
softness of the faux fur sent a quiver over her buttocks. She could envision
herself bent over the end of the bed, bare bottom out for Ian’s sensual attention.
He would like this…so would she. Once he’d lashed her a bit beyond the light
play and applied just enough sting, he would move on to something else. And she
would lie there eagerly anticipating…
Next
she picked out the little purple feather tickler. Ian would shift her legs
apart, nudge her further forward, and
then he would tease her sensitized body. She would tremble and struggle for
breath as he tickled her between her thighs, over her already moist lower lips,
and flick her hardened clit.
Pulling
her from her pleasant musings, she listened to the first of Ian’s heavy
footsteps on the stairway. Home! Oh,yes!
He
called out in his deep, husky brogue, “Maggie! My sweet Maggie, I’m home!”
She
scurried across the room and tossed her toys on the bed. Then she moved to the
doorway and said breathlessly, “I’m up here, Ian, waiting for you.”
His
steps came more rapidly and she hurried over to the bed. Sitting down, she
arranged her gifts to him, and sat naked on the edge to await her lover. At the
last second, she reached up to her neck and fingered the soft white leather
collar with “Maggie” emblazoned on it. He’d gotten it for her last Christmas
but hadn’t worn it yet. He hadn’t pressed her to do so, knowing she would put
it on when the time was right. To her, it was a symbol of her giving herself totally
and forever to him, although she would only wear it when they were together in
private. She’d made the decision while he’d been away.
Ian
stopped in the doorway, filling it almost completely with his big body. His
thick, wavy dark hair brushed his shoulders and he wore it loose in the way he
knew she liked, making her fingers ache to thread through it. And he must not
have shaved in the last day or so for he had a nice growth of beard stubble.
But it was his eyes that captured her focus. They mirrored his desire for her,
were heated with the promise of an intense reunion, something she would long
remember.
He
swallowed hard as he spotted the collar she wore. Immediately tears glistened
in his eyes. “Oh, my precious lass, you’re wearing…” He choked up and walked
slowly toward her.
She
jutted out her chin and stood to face him. She took his hand and together they
touched the collar. “I belong to you, Ian, only to you. Always.”
