Free Breathless: Edge Of Submission (BDSM Billionaire) by Katelyn Skye Page B

barely heard Janice laugh as she
too, glanced round and viewed the tall, distinguishably dressed man
who walked in with an equally eye-catching woman on his arm. His
tux was impeccably cut, and his looks were arresting enough to
warrant a second and third look. To be honest, Alyssa couldn’t help
but stare. He was fucking gorgeous.
    Alyssa wrote about leading men all the
time. Excruciatingly handsome, pussy-drenching men who walked into
a room and made everything else fade into the mist. Alyssa created
such perfections on a regular basis but never believed she’d ever
see one in person. A man who could steal your breath and make you
wish you had a genie to magic him in moments to your bed, ready to
ravish you to your heart’s content.
    “Oh my God,” Alyssa
whispered.
    “Indeed,” Janice Potter, her agent,
murmured with humor still lacing her voice. “Lucas Edge, sought
after yet highly unattainable. A billionaire entrepreneur and
corporate takeover mastermind. I’m surprised you’ve never heard of
him, Pam.”
    Lucas Edge and his companion were
already flanked by other important-looking guests, and it was
smiles all round as these people of power conversed, drank and
mingled. Alyssa wanted to look away but couldn’t. The way he held
his head, his presence and just everything about him struck her
from afar. How come she’d never heard of him, either? Well, maybe
it was no surprise since Alyssa was never interested in much
outside her own tight circle. She was regretting that more and more
in the past several months and especially now. There was a whole
world out there and she’d sheltered herself from it for so long.
And now it was affecting even her work.
    For the past two months, Alyssa had
been struggling with her latest offering. Well behind schedule, she
was finding it harder to create the dreamy and dark stories that
were now so popular in its genre. In the beginning, it had been so
easy to churn out the needed titles. Now a year since her rise to
fame began, Alyssa had reached her dry spell. There was a time when
meeting publishers’ deadlines had been no problem at all. Now,
inspiration was wearing thin and it was making even Janice, her
agent jittery. She advised Alyssa that it was vital to stay in
season, as she put it. Alyssa was doing her best but the truth
remained that stimulation in any form was lacking in her current
attempts at a new book.
    Well, she had her stimulation right
here.
    There he was, right across
the room. Seemingly unaware of her gaze, yet making her feel that
he had to somehow sense what she was feeling, even with so much
distance between them. How could he not have an inkling of their
kinetic relativity? Her whole body thrummed for him, and it seemed to
Alyssa that if he could just look her way, he would feel it
too.
    Janice went on providing more details
about the man in question, and Alyssa could tell her sister was
glowing with interest. Pam was barely twenty-three, fresh out of
college and working on an internship in her chosen field of
Microbiology. Like Alyssa, she wasn’t the social butterfly but knew
how to have fun when needful. Both sisters were brunettes, though
Pam was just that much taller and thinner. They could easily be
taken for twin sisters because even with hardly any make up on,
Alyssa looked pretty younger than her twenty-seven
years.
    Tonight, the glamor of the event had
called for more effort with her attire and she’d taken Janice’s
advice to splurge on a fashionable outfit, stylish hair and some
killer heels. Alyssa felt immensely glad now that she’d taken the
effort. Already, there’d been so many photos taken of her and she’d
given a few interviews for articles discussing her most popular
books and the prospect of a new title soon. It had all been
exciting, seeing so many celebs around and being recognized
herself. And yet all that paled next to the thrill of being in the
same room with Lucas Edge, being able to look at him and just drink
in the
