BLURB:

After securing contraband cargo, including sex toys and two boxes of black market pleasure cuffs, Concordance Inspection Agent Marik Sinstark knows he’s on the fast track to a big promotion. But he’s always been curious about the cuffs’ legendary qualities.

Testing them with the hot attaché to the Ambassador of Kreshna Colony, Elaura Janis, would bring them both a night of pleasure. And he knows exactly how to gain her cooperation and her silence. For using the cuffs constitutes an illegal activity, and with one too many black marks on his record, Marik can’t afford to get caught.

But then again, neither can Elaura.

Yet Elaura’s involvement runs deeper than Marik knows, and in a secluded suite, Elaura explores her submissive desires. The truth can’t come out… if it does, she’ll lose her chance to have Marik for a lifetime.

Reviews

 ”I was enthralled by Illegal Holdings, the new novella by Mary Winter. Ms. Winter has a marvelous ability to describe her characters and tell their story. I found Elaura and Marik to be fascinating. Elaura was enchanted by Marik and once they got together, their sexual activities were unbelievably erotic. I was shivery and sweating as I read. Most of their activities fell into the BDSM lifestyle, so beware if you dislike reading such activities. There were only a couple of secondary characters and I did not feel their loss in this well plotted book.  Marik and Elaura were wonderful together in all of their activities and I was astounded when Ms. Winter dropped in an unexpected twist. The ending of this story was fun and exciting. Ms. Winter, I hope that this novella is just the first in this exciting world.”

Excerpt

Elaura struggled to keep her expression innocent as she watched Marik’s body tense. She shrugged her blouse from her shoulders. A tap of her finger on a hidden button in her desk locked her office door. No good in having her employers walk in and interrupt what would prove to be a very interesting afternoon. After all the work she’d gone through to make sure her brother had those items, and the fact she’d booked a very exclusive suite for this weekend to test them all, she’d hate to have her work ruined. She stood, a flick of her wrist opened her skirt and sent it to pool around her feet. Wearing only her matching ivory lace bra and panty set, her stockings held up with garters, she strode around her desk. Though she had hoped he’d stretch her out on the plush carpet, against the wall had possibilities too. Frankly, they’d danced around each other enough. It was time for Marik to put up or shut up. From the look of the bulge in his pants, he certainly was up for the job.She grinned. Reaching behind her, she unhooked her bra. She shoved first the left, then the right, strap down, enabling the garment to flutter to the floor. The bot buzzed next to her left nipple, a happy little noise that had zings of pleasure racing straight to her wet pussy. She picked up the clamp.

“You going to show me how these work?” She licked her finger and swirled the wet digit around the tight nub. “I hear they work better when your nipple is all… wet.” She drew out the last words, watching as his gaze fastened with laser precision to her nipple. She stopped directly in front of him and pressed the clamps into his hands.

She’d played him, and he knew it. A hint of anger flashed in his gaze. Marik wasn’t a man who enjoyed being the pawn in someone else’s game. She languidly stretched against him. The hard ridge of his cock pressed insistently against her belly, and she knew his body had taken all the control out of his hands. Sliding her fingers into the hair at the nape of his neck, she nibbled along his jaw line. “So what will it be, officer. Are you going to cuff me?”

“Yeah,” he admitted.

Elaura circled his wrist with her fingers and brought his hand to her breast. He stifled a groan as he brushed against her soft flesh. She struggled not to grin at how well her plan worked. Slowly, oh, so slowly her entire body aching with it, he fastened the clamp onto her nipple.

She moaned, the briefest twinge of pain pulling straight to her cunt. She sucked in a breath, focusing on the man in front of her. She unbuttoned his shirt, one button at a time, revealing his sculpted chest lightly dusted with hair. She curled her fingers into it, his flat pecs with their male nipples beckoning her to lean forward and lick one.

She breathed deeply, loving his masculine scent. She swirled her tongue around his nipple. The salty taste of his skin filled her mouth like an elixir. “I think you might have to arrest me, officer,” she breathed against his skin. Then, she dropped to her knees in order to better follow the trail of hair leading to the waistband of his pants.

He moved his fingers. The bot’s buzzing increased. It slid from her nipple, making her cry out with the loss. The tiny device slid over her stomach, down beneath the pale ivory lace of her panties, and found her slick labia.

Elaura moaned. She spread her legs, feeling the bot hum its way between her lips to circle her engorged clit. “Marik, please.” She unfastened his pants.

“Please what?” He asked. He looked down at her, nostrils flared. From the size of the bulge pressing against his fly, he was fully erect.

She opened his pants, stroking her fingers along the length of him as she did. She gently pushed his briefs down. His cock sprang free. Thick and long, it made her mouth water. With a wide mushroom head and a shaft roped with veins, it looked perfect for sucking. She grinned, looking up through lowered lashes to see him starting at her, mouth parted.

Elaura wrapped her lips around him. Mmm, he tasted so good, she couldn’t help but lick his satiny skin as she worked her mouth down his shaft. She hummed in the back of her throat, then reached around to cup his ass. Yes, this was exactly what she’d been waiting for. Her pussy creamed thinking about his rod filling her. Risking censor for the illegal objects was oh-so-worth-it if it meant licking and suckling this magnificent piece of male cock.

Marik groaned. His fingers speared through her hair, holding her there while she worked his shaft.

The bot found her clit. It vibrated directly against her swollen nub, the tiny buzzing noise nearly drove her to orgasm. Elaura sucked harder. Hollowing out her cheeks, she drew him as deep into her mouth as she could. His head brushed against the back of her throat. She relaxed her muscles to let him slip past the tight ring. She curled her fingers into his buttocks. Hard muscle jumped beneath her finger tips.

Elaura whimpered. The need to make Marik come before she did burned through her veins. She rocked her hips, the tiny bot teasing her nearly to the point of pain. Her juices ran down the insides of her thighs. All she could think about was that this was the least of the items she’d put into the box. Just thinking about trying everything with him had her ready to explode.

Marik fucked her lips. She drew her tongue down the length of him, swirling it around the sensitive knot of nerves right beneath his head.

“Oh yeah. Elaura,” his husky whispers imbued her with a sense of feminine power. She couldn’t help but grin around his shaft as she worked him into a frenzy. Sliding her hand from his buttocks, she reached between his legs to fondle his balls. She stroked her finger along the length of his perineum.

“I’m going to come,” he announced.
