Iain had talked about his life in Scotland and why he came to America. She loved sitting there listening to him tell her about his life. His accent had come out then and she knew she wanted this man more than she had ever wanted anyone. His voice slid over her body and turned her on all on its own.
Kelsey watched the man come back and smiled, happy when she realized that he had brought her tequila. “How did you know?”
“I know a lot of things.” Iain watched her over his glass as he brought his to his lips. “Well?”
"Well…of course…I have fantasies. Lots of them. Doesn't everyone?" Kelsey laughed and took another sip of her tequila, feeling pleasantly warm and relaxed. She sat so comfortable with this man…this man she hardly knew in so many ways.
"Yes, I can imagine," Iain smiled. “But I want to hear them…,” he reached his hand over to cover hers. “…all of them.”
Her crotch tightened as if he had touched that little nub of desire nestled deep in her. “All of them?” she squeaked.
“All of them. When you’re alone and want release…what do you fantasize about? Exactly what would it take to get you all hot and bothered?”
Kelsey laughed nervously and ran a finger along the rim of her glass. “Well…okay…I don’t know,” she confessed.
“Look…a deal is a deal,” he said smoothly. Bringing his glass to his lips, he wished that her fingers were around his cock and not rimming the glass that he had brought her. He didn’t want to push her too far but he needed to know. And he needed to know soon.
“All right…all right,” Kelsey said, sighing. “I guess one of the things that really turn me on would have to be forced sex…you know, where the guy ties up the girl and does unspeakable things to her.” There she had said it...it was over.
But Iain wasn’t going to let her off so easy. “Is that all?”
“Isn’t that enough?” Kelsey laughed.
“No…it isn’t enough…I want to know everything.”
Kelsey could feel the heat emanate from her pussy just thinking about the scenario she could see in her head. A tingling deep within her body began and she wondered what it would feel like if Iain were that man. She looked at him and unconsciously licked her lips.
“You want more…,” she whispered leaning in close to him, allowing him full access to look down her dress. She didn’t care…he had pushed her too far. “I think that a lot of women have thought about a man snatching her off the street or from her home, restraining her and using her for his pleasure.”
“And what kind of sex is that?” He kept his voice as even as he could.
“You know…the down and dirty kind. Oral…anal…threesomes…you name. I want something dark and almost sinister...haven’t you ever dreamed about the forbidden and doing it?”
“What do you mean forbidden?” he questioned, intent on her answer.
“All those fantasies that are too fantastic to be real…vampires, elves, werewolves…oh my.” She sat back and gauged her answer…that should make him think twice before asking what she desired. Kelsey knew no one could ever fulfill those dreams…they were impossible to fulfill.
Surprised to see the fire in her eyes, Iain felt his own pupils grow larger with desire. “Have you ever done any of that?”
She leaned back in her chair. “Who me?” Kelsey looked at him and gauged her answer. “No…I’m in total control of my life. Soon I’ll be finished with my Masters degree and the door of opportunity will be open. I love what I do and I’ve never taken the chances…the sexual chances…that a lot of women have taken. I would have to be very much in love with that person or at the very least very much in lust with them.”
Iain chuckled then…a deep, resonating sound. “Have you done anything?”
Kelsey waved her hand. “I don’t mean that I’m necessarily the standard missionary position type person or anything. I supposed that I’m as interested in sex as the next woman. I’m just not all that adventurous in bed. I like sex to be safe and pleasant.”
“Maybe no one has ever turned you on enough.” His dark eyes bore into her very soul. “Wouldn’t you rather have it hot and fantastic?”
His question intrigued her…she never really thought about it. She had always lived her life just this side of being a goody-two-shoes. She narrowed her eyes and wondered exactly what he sought to gain from this conversation. She sipped her tequila and again wondered just where this was going to lead.
“Now let me ask you a question,” Kelsey stated, sitting her glass down.
“And what would that be…,” Iain began. “Is it going to be sexual in nature?”
“Maybe,” she whispered, splashing a little tequila on one of her fingers. Without thinking, she put the digit in her mouth drawing in it out slowly, savoring the taste of the expensive liquid. A sharp intake of breath made her realize exactly what she did. “Sorry.”
Iain looked at her wishing it were his dick that her lips around. He wanted this woman. Soon. “What is your question?”
“What are you looking for?”
The question surprised him and one that he had heard many times over his lifetime. But it always came from his male friends and never once from a female who he desired. “Why do you ask?”
“Because I want to know.”
“Are you wondering if you measure up?”
“Maybe,” she answered, her eyes getting all dreamy and seductive before she pulled them away from his gaze.
“I want a woman who will excite me for a lifetime or two,” he purred.
Kelsey blinked her eyes. A lifetime or two? That wasn’t the answer she was expecting. “Wow.”
He tapped a finger on the table and watched her. He didn’t want to spook her but he wanted to know more…much more. “Let’s get back to you. So…you want the man to take the control so that he has the responsibility. You want him to force you to be that 'bad girl'…that little ‘whore’ you’ve always wanted to be…the one you’ve dreamed about. You want to bare your soul to him and have him be the one to twist it a little and put it back." He took a breath. “And you want it with a forbidden type of lover.”
Kelsey’s mouth dropped open…what was he talking about…was that what she had said? “What? I’m talking about sex here…nothing else.” She shivered then as the words sank in…it was as if he thought she wanted the man in her skin. “I get a little excited about a man getting a little rough, taking me against my will and doing those things that I might have thought about but wouldn’t even consider on my own. And who wouldn’t fantasize about a lover she could never have. But what the hell are you talking about?"
Iain looked at her with amused eyes. "Domination…sweet domination…and even sweeter seduction. All with that forbidden lover.” His eyes became a shade darker in the night if that were possible. He saw the horrified, yet curious look on her face. “Nothing so bad, Kelsey. I mean we’re not talking about sex with animals or anything like that here…are we?”
She laughed then…the tension broken. “Of course not. I’m not into kinky, weird or painful sex at all.”
"There will be some pain if a man is forcing you, gaolach.”
The word sounded like music to her ears…it rolled off his tongue again caressing her like silk. “That was Gaelic…wasn’t it?”
Iain started. He hadn’t realized that he had slipped into the old tongue. “Yes…that was. Do you have nothing else to say about the subject?”
"From what I hear, some pain is good.” Kelsey gulped down a swig of tequila…damn she needed some more. As if reading her mind, Iain brought out the whole bottle of tequila. “Have you been hiding that all along?” She smiled. If she talked about sex, she had to drink tequila. But three shots were her limit…she would have to go home sometime very soon.
"Okay…you’re right…there will probably have to be some pain.” She swirled the amber liquid in her glass and looked out over the city. It certainly was beautiful tonight…even though an air of mystery always shrouded that beauty. Slowly, Kelsey took another sip. “I guess that a little pain excites me…but surely kinkiness has its limits and its place. I hear that you’re supposed have some kind of rules so they each know when it’s time to call it quits. Besides, I don’t want any marks left on me at all.”
Iain leaned forward suddenly intent on what she was saying. “So we’re talking a little pain here. Since you don’t want any marks on your body would that include something…such as…spanking?” He smiled a lazy, dazzling smile at her then. “You must give me some kind of hint as to what part of the fantasy really sends you over the edge. Is it the act or the lover?”
"Both and spanking might be nice," she purred at that thought, rolling the words around on her tongue. "The restraints would have to be really soft…no biting into me at all…remember no marks.”
“What would you let this mystery man force you to do? What is it exactly that you want which you think you must be forced to do?”
Kelsey watched Iain. His interest in what she said made her wonder. She knew she wouldn’t even get past first base with him if past history indicated anything. “For God’s sake, Iain…we’re talking fantasy here. It’s not like this is going to happen! There are no vampires or elves or werewolves.” She laughed somewhat nervously still wondering where this would lead.
"Still…I am very interested in what you have to say, Kelsey.” Her name rolled off his tongue like an endearment. “Do you want him to force you to have oral sex? To suck his cock until he comes?”
“Not so loud!” she whispered and looked around to see if anyone watched them. She quickly took another swig when she realized that no one had heard his comment or any other part of the conversation as far as she could tell.
“Come on," Iain laughed gently at her embarrassment. "We can say these words…it is only between us…we are adults.” He sat back with a grin and Kelsey just knew that there was more coming. "Do you want him to force his dick into that beautiful ass of yours?"
Kelsey nearly choked on her tequila. She couldn’t believe that he just said that.
“I am sorry, gaolach. I do not mean to get you flustered with this conversation. I only want to know…,” he paused and watched her, ”what pleasures you.”
“Just what do you mean?” she asked, cautiously. “I mean it’s not like I will ever act on this with you or anyone else. It’s like I told you…I like things nice and safe…and those type lovers only exist in people’s fantasizes.”
Iain sat there with a gleam in his eye. “Are you so sure about that?”
“Yes,” she hissed, “I am. I know myself…tequila or not…and I know my limits. And I do know what is real and what isn’t.” She slowly stood up and the time for her to go had come.
“I’ll walk you to your car.”
“Thank you…I prefer to walk alone if you don’t mind.”
Iain stood. “I’m not sure that is such a good idea.”
“Why?”
“I would prefer if you let me drive you home. You’ve had a few drinks.” He gently put his hand at her elbow.
Kelsey pulled her arm from his grip, knowing if it had been any other time that she would have savored the touch. “I said no.” She turned and walked quickly around the pool and into the house.
Iain dark eyes never left her.

Kelsey wants Iain in the worse way, but something about him is a little more intense than what she wants. She is looking for the man who can take control and give her an erotic night she will never forget. Being held captive is one of her favorite fantasies and when Iain takes up the challenge; she may find herself in deeper trouble than she thinks?
Iain knows Kelsey isn't his type, he has had many women and none have ever affected him the way she does. After talking to her he wants to give her exactly what she craves, a hot and intense interlude. He is more than willing to play the capturer to her captive, but will he find himself wanting to keep her when the night is through?
This story is definitely not for the faint of heart. The love scenes are explicit and contain bondage and captive situations. The heat in this book is totally extreme and erotica fans will certainly want to give it a read. Kelsey is willing to take a chance and trust Iain. Iain wants to show Kelsey the night of her life, but his emotions gets involved and sparks really start to fly. This is the first book in the Captive Illusions series and judging by this book, I can't wait to see what the next in the series brings.
