By
all appearances, Shyla Ball has an enviable life: a loyal boyfriend, a great
job, and family that loves her. She doesn't realize how deeply unsatisfied she
is until she has an embarrassing encounter with a handsome stranger at a coffee
shop. Taylor Holden, a successful businessman, takes a sudden special interest
in her and offers her a job she cannot refuse. Soon after, she learns there is
much more to this intensely private man than meets the eye. He is hiding many
painful secrets, including why it is that he has seemingly plucked her out of
obscurity for such a lucrative position. Shyla tries her best to resist, but
eventually they cave into their intense mutual attraction. Her
"perfect" world is turned upside down by her infatuation towards
Taylor and in just a couple of months, her life looks nothing like it did
before. While she is frightened by the changes she sees in herself, she cannot
resist the lure of Taylor Holden and continues to delve deeper into their
relationship. As Shyla slowly gains Taylor's trust, she learns of his complex
history and how it has molded him into the person he has become. When elements
of Taylor's secret past resurface and threaten to destroy them, Shyla finds out
there may be more to Taylor's story than even he is aware of. Strapped is a story of passion, manipulation,
obsession, and family secrets.
“Shy,”
he says, barely getting my name out. I look at him and nod my head, which
ignites a powder keg. He grabs me by my backside, pulling me just enough off of
the ground so that my toes graze the floor and drives me so hard onto the
backside of the elevator that it nearly knocks the wind out of me. I run my
hands through his soft hair as I pant for air. He kisses me so intensely, I
think he might devour me. I have so badly wanted to do that since the day I met
him. I can smell his clean scent filling up my nostrils, as he kisses my neck,
sucking on it, hard. There is a slight pain behind it, but it feels so good. I
know where he is coming from, there have been so many pent up emotions, and
this is our chance to finally let it all go.
“Shy,
I have wanted you since the moment I saw you.” I nearly pass out, even his
words arouse me. He kisses me again. He tastes amazing. “Do you want this Shy?”
He asks, his voice is so low and raspy. I nod. “I need to hear you say it.”
“Yes,
Taylor. I want this.” It is like I set a wild animal free. He pauses just for a
second to take me in and rips open my blouse. The little buttons dance on the
floor until they become still. He pulls down my bra cups and begins to suck on my
nipples, hardening them. I let out a groan. I can’t contain myself anymore. He
tugs one between his teeth.
