Chapter One

Ellie Tanner grinned as one of the male strippers pulled Sierra on stage.She’d been a little doubtful about having the bachelorette party at The Oasis, but all seemed to be going well.Max Preston, Sierra’s fiancé and owner of the local BDSM club, apparently hadn’t objected.

“Great party,” Tessa, one of the bridesmaids, commented.

“I’m glad it’s working out.”

“We’re loving it,” Crystal said.She was the other bridesmaid.Both had contacted Ellie and asked her to have the party here.Ellie had done her due diligence and checked the place out, chatted with the owner, and made the decision it would be okay.Some might think she was going overboard, but she liked providing the best experience she could for her clients.

“Let’s dance,” one of the other women called out.

Sierra left the stage and joined the women on the dance floor.Ellie couldn’t stop smiling as the music grew louder.She started cleaning up the table, throwing away the paper from the presents, penis shaped plates from the cake, kinky presents in bags, and other things.

All in all, this was successful party.

“Come on, Ellie.”Regina tugged at her hand to get her out on the dance floor.

“Sorry.I’m the planner, not a guest.”This was her standard line.She stood on the sidelines, watching the women.She didn’t involve herself in her clients’ lives any more than necessary, although, with Sierra, it was a little harder.In between meetings with her, Crystal, and Tessa about the bachelorette party, she’d also planned Sierra’s wedding.

They’d had several get-togethers at Max and Sierra’s home and at the club.Ellie had been curious about Wicked Sanctuary, and Sierra had been gracious enough to show her around and talk with her about the BDSM lifestyle.

Regina opened her mouth.“Oh shit.”

“What?”Sierra yelled.

“Turn around,” Regina said.

Ellie turned, following Regina’s gaze.

“Shit is right,” Sierra commented as her eyes grew wide.

“Wow,” Ellie said under her breath.She could only stare at the line of men standing shoulder-to-shoulder with their arms crossed over their chests and staring at the group.The men were similarly dressed in jeans and t-shirts, their unwavering gazes on the women.Damn, they looked impressive.

Their testosterone and dominance filled the air.A shiver snaked up Ellie’s spine.She recognized Max, Jordan, and Damon, but not the rest of the men, although she suspected they were attached to the other women still here at the party.But when she counted men, there was an extra.

He stood at the end, however, there was something about him that screamed,I’m in charge.His short dark hair gave off thedon’t mess with mevibe.He was tall with wide shoulders.Dressed much like the others in dark clothing, he looked… Ferocious wasn’t the right word.He didn’t look angry or upset, more intrigued than anything.Maybe it was the way he stood.Legs apart, arms crossed over chest.Just like the other men.No, it was more than that, because all the guys held the same stance.He only had eyes for her.That was the difference.That and the intensity of his gaze made Ellie’s heart flutter.Those dark brown eyes never left her face, and Ellie couldn’t glance away.

Her breath caught in her throat, and her lady parts started to tingle.That hadn’t happened in a long, long time.What the hell was wrong with her?

The club had gone silent, the music shut off, and the male strippers melted away.Ellie blinked as one by one, the men marched to their respective women.Except him.He stood staring at her.

She forced herself to turn away and finished packing up the presents, with help from Sage, who seemed to want to steer as clear of the men as Ellie did.

“Who planned this?”Damon asked.

“That was me.”Ellie turned to face Damon.

“You’re the wedding planner,” Max stated.

“Obviously,” she muttered.

“Party planner as well,” Sierra said.“Don’t pick on Ellie.”

“I’m not.”Max shook his head.“Ellie surprised me, that’s all.”

“Besides it was Tessa’s and my idea,” Crystal said, hand on her hip.

“You and I are going to have a very long talk,” Jordan promised, his voice low.
