    I have a secret. I still have my V card, and I'm on my first road trip across the country. Is the smoldering hot trucker with the melting smile a knight of the road, or is he the bad man I've been warned about? Buck has plans for me. By the time I find out what he expects my curvy body to endure, I'm not sure there's anything I wouldn't let him do, including everything risky with his silver fox buddy and their mammoth Black best friend. Even when I'm reluctant, Buck knows just how to master me to get everything he wants. If you're up for this, come on Gia's first ride! This erotica is for readers 18+ due to strong sexual content, language and dark themes. Truckers contains BDSM, sharing, interracial group action, a hard and unprotected first time, ownership, age gap relationships, and may disturb some readers. The intense activities are fantasy only and not safe or possible in real life. This is a complete standalone novelette, about 10,000 words, with no cliffhanger. A novelette is longer than a short story and shorter than a novella. :) It's Dark Fantasy erotica with scary-hot moments to make you squirm in all the right ways. Plus, you get bonus previews of two of my other books in this edition. Please Note: Truckers is included in the collection, Taking Curves. If you have that bundle, you don't need this single. Adventurous readers, let's roll. Q.

    As in ever.I’ve had enough problems with women. And I’m a single father.This curvy goddess has me forgetting my own rules.She’ll be mine.VICTORIAHe’s older. Rich. Hot as hell.And he’s a daddy.We’re too different.But when I’m next to him, all I can think about is sweet sin.

    These magicians are much older and physically larger than the woman linked to them at her conception as their destined one. It is the sorcerers' pleasure to take complete care of all their needs. Here's a taste of Violet's story: A deep voice came from the arched doorway to her right. “I wondered when you would arrive. It is 7:23. One minute after your birth, twenty-two years ago.” She twisted her neck quickly to look at him. He was massive - at least seven feet tall with a wide chest and shoulders. A black beard and mustache covered the lower third of his face. His black shiny hair was braided intricately down the back of his head and the tail of the braid lay thick and heavy over his shoulder. Dangling from his left ear was a polished, intricate steel earring. “Ummmm, I’m not sure where I am. There must have been some mistake. I know this is going to sound crazy, but I just touched the surface of my old mirror and…” Violet attempted to explain. “And you fell through the mirror landing here in my study,” he completed easily. “Welcome to your new life,” he said dryly. “I have been waiting for you to become an adult and come to me for many years, Violet. Now, let’s get you settled in,” the man began as he waved his hand in an intricate pattern through the air. Violet felt her clothes begin to slide from her body. She attempted to hold on to each piece, but they slipped through her fingers. Finally, she stood in front of the strange man wearing only her white lace bra and panties. Wrapping her arms around herself to shield herself from his view, Violet blustered, “I don’t know how you did that, but you have no right to take my clothing, sir. Give them back immediately. Who do you think you are?” With a casual wave of his hand, her arms straightened and froze by her sides. “Your old clothes are no longer necessary for you. You’re not in Atlanta anymore. Here, I decide what you wear or don’t wear.” He flicked his fingers and her bra and underwear disappeared. The characters from the twelve novels in this series reappear to continue their stories. The novels are all complete stories. You do not need to read them in order, but Pepper thinks you may enjoy them more fully if you do! The books in this series will feature invasive medical treatments, including thorough examinations and enemas when required, as well as diaper changes, spankings and other punishments. If you are offended by age play (adults who choose to live as a Little or a parent of a Little), or dubious consent, this is not the book for you.
