Kate's muse has left her and she's viciously cursed him to all sorts of tortures. But Corban isn't taking her abuse any longer or he'll become a laughing stock. No, he intends to show Kate a thing or two about how to take proper care of your muse.

“You’re fired, damn it!” Kate shouted at the ceiling, slamming her fists on the desk for emphasis. “You’ve done this to me for the last time. I’ll find myself a new muse and to hell with you!”

Kate Sterling tossed her pen across the room and barely restrained herself from making the laptop take the same flying arc. She wanted to make something smash into the wall, needed to break something. Like her damn
muse’s neck.

Pushing away from the desk, she spun around on her chair and glared at the potted palm in the corner. Shame it wasn’t a little taller. Though, she did have nine-foot ceilings… That would be high enough to make her muse dangle from a noose with his body jerking as the rope tightened until he couldn’t breathe any more. Or maybe his neck would snap when she pushed him off the stool.

“Damn, stupid muse. I hope you burn in the deepest pits of hell, your screams echoing in your ears as you burn for eternity, never finding peace from the agony of melting flesh and popping muscles and bones.”

“That’s a mite harsh, isn’t it, Kate?”

Kate shrieked and fell off the chair as she turned to look behind her. The man leaning against the wall looked exactly like her wayward muse. The one she’d just been cursing.

“What have I ever done to you, love?”

“Jesus Christ!” Kate scrambled backward as he leaned forward, his face highlighted in the glare of the light. He was her muse in living, breathing flesh. Impossible!

“No. If I remember correctly, you condemned me to burn in hell with Satan.”

“But you…you can’t be real.”

“I’m as real as you want me to be, love.”

“No!” Panic flared. Her throat tightened, and her heart beat frantically in her chest. “You can’t be real. You’re a picture I swiped off the Internet. You’re a real man who has a life somewhere out there, but you can’t be here. You’re a figment of my imagination.”

The figment of her imagination smirked and pushed away from the wall.

“Then why are you on the floor, shaking in fear?”

“Oh!” Kate growled and scrambled to her feet. “You’re just something my imagination created to give me an outlet for my frustration.”

“If that’s true, then why are you still shaking?”

“I’m shaking from barely controlled anger.” Kate glared and walked toward him slowly. She lifted her hand and pointed her finger at him. “If you were real would my finger go through you?”

She jabbed her finger into hard male flesh. A jolt of electricity sparked and shot up her arm. With a gasp, she jumped back and shook her hand. Desire soaked her core as she breathed in his scent and absorbed the heat from his body. She sucked on her still tingling finger and glared at him.

All six foot, six inches of muscle laughed at her reaction. Kate glared up into bright blue eyes that reflected his mirth. Damn. Have I finally lost it? Had her imagination finally done what her sister teased her about? Toni always said that that her overactive imagination would push her over the edge, and right now it looked like she was right.

“No, love. You aren’t insane. But you managed to provoke me enough to get me to respond.”

“Are you ready and willing to be learn?” His eyes darkened as they raked over her body, and she shivered again. If he didn’t touch her soon…
He slid his hands up her legs as he climbed on the bed and hovered over her. “Well?”

“What?” Kate bit her lip. A multitude of sensations cascaded over her. Desire, so thick and heady it clouded her mind, weaved through her, making her breasts feel fuller and more sensitive. She arched her back hoping he’d move his hands up higher.

“Are you ready and willing to learn what I need and want in a woman?”
Finally, he slid his hands up and brushed his thumbs back and forth across her rib cage.

“God, yes.”

Corban grinned and then captured her mouth with his. He ground his erection against her as he kissed her. Desire threatened to overtake her at his actions. She was already wetter than she’d ever been in her life.

Over and over he rubbed against her while plundering her mouth, exploring and claiming every inch before he broke the kiss to nibble his way to her ear.

“I hope you’re ready for this.”

“Yes.” Kate moaned and arched as he bit her earlobe.

“Good.”

In the blink of an eye all her were clothes gone. Startled, she stared up at him.

“I’ve got some tricks up my sleeve, love. There’s plenty more where that came from.”

“I can hardly wait.” Kate purred and rubbed against him. “You don’t need the handcuffs. I’m not going to fight you, or this.”

“You don’t know how glad I am to hear that.” He smiled and whisked away the cuffs as fast as her clothes had vanished.

“Yes, I do. I can feel it.” Kate grabbed his shoulders and rubbed against his erection. “Now tell me, no, better yet, show me what you want, need in a woman.”

Corban’s grin couldn’t get any wider as he leaned down and captured her mouth. As he deepened the kiss, she sighed and buried her hands in this thick blonde hair. Moisture soaked her as he moved over her, simulating an act she didn’t want to wait any longer for.

“This isn’t fair, Corban. I’m naked, and you’re still half dressed.”

“Something I can easily rectify.” In a flash he was as naked as her.

Kate stared at his impressive erection. He was long and thick, and hard. She licked her lips imagining what he’d taste like. Her mouth watered as he reached down and wrapped a hand around his length.

“I really like it when a woman goes down on me. I like it almost as much as going down on her.”

“Then why don’t we? Sixty-nine, that is. Maybe I can show you that I can pleasure you without instructions.” She laughed at his smug smile.

“Woman, if you can make me come before I make you come, then you win this round.”

“You’re on. What do I get if I win?”

“What do you want?”

“Hmm.” What did she want?

“Kate?”

She gasped as he slid his hands down her arms, grabbed her wrists and raised them over her head. He slid one arm under the iron bar at the head of her bed, and the other over it. Then he handcuffed her hands together. Where he got the handcuffs from, she didn’t know, but they were covered in soft material and made her heart kick into overdrive as she realized where he was headed.

“Remember that dream you had where I restrained you before spanking your perfectly rounded ass?”

Oh, God. Oh, God. Is he going to reenact that dream?

Trying not to hyperventilate, she stared up at him. Corban was here, in her bedroom. Finally. And she was going to get him the way she wanted him. The hows and whys could be figured out later. There was no way she’d pass up the opportunity to have sex with the man of her dreams.

“From the way your eyes lit up, I’m guessing that’s a yes.”

Kate nodded and stared up into his face. Should she mention she was facing the wrong way to be spanked?
