Aubrey has been hurt in the past, discouraged and degraded
by a heartless father. Still, William sees something in her that won't allow
him to walk away. Instantly drawn to her but intuitive enough to take it
slowly, he courts her. Then he bargains, persuades and seduces until he
ensnares Aubrey with his commanding nature. He’s everything she ever needed but
never had the courage to want for. Despite the fight she puts up in accepting
William's lifestyle, the bonds he places on Aubrey give her a freedom she
desperately needs. Together, they heal old wounds and find their perfect love.

Excerpt
© Hold My Hand, Paloma Beck, 2013
When he seated me on the edge of the chair nearest the
fireplace and began to stoke the embers of the fire, I kept my eyes cast down.
He made me nervous, those same nerves I felt once living under my father’s
roof. No, I reminded myself again, not those nerves exactly. William told me I
was beautiful so I know it’s not the same. He was nothing like my father though
that tension –the tiny feeling of inadequacy I can’t quite shake- was so
similar; I shied away from his gaze. Yet at the same time I craved William, his
presence completely overwhelmed me.
He moved behind me, seated himself with his legs on either
side of my body and pulled me down to him. My back to his front. My heat to his
heat. My body to his body. I shivered, wanting nothing more than to be what he
wanted me to be. I assured myself my desire to please was different this time.
I was already pleasing William. He told me as much and I believed him. After
all, I had to believe in something.
His fingers on my shoulders distracted me. “You’re so tense,
sweet Aubrey. Won’t you just relax in my arms tonight?”
“I’ll try. I don’t relax often.”
“No, Aubrey. Your answer to me is yes, sir.”
“Yes sir,” the whisper floated from my lips on a sigh. It
was such a certain response, it left no room for me to fail or disappoint. I
found comfort in the statement and relaxed into his body.
“Good. Well done.” His affirmation bolstered my confidence.
I’ve not received many compliments that I can recall and it felt nice. I
couldn’t help but smile while the pride at such a simple act made my chest feel
tight.
William aligned his body against mine so that I could feel
him as part of myself. Then I realized he could feel every inch of me against
him. He could feel my imperfections. I tensed, wondering what he’d think of me
when he got a closer look. I was no longer overweight but now I was slight and
never held any real beauty. When he realized this, my time with him will most
likely end.
He molded my shoulders and back with his strong fingers.
“Relax into me and let me took care of you,” William tickled my neck with his
words and a tiny shiver ran along my spine.
“I thought it would be the other way around.”
I felt his laugh against my neck. “You think too much. Time
for thinking was over. Now simply trust in me to take care of you.”
