Hero: Austin Rivers. Owns Gamers Magazine. Creator of a very popular video game. Likes to be in control in the bedroom. Has a secret crush on one of his editors.

Heroine: Marley Lake. Editor extraordinaire. Gets caught looking at a tumblr porn gif at work by Austin. When Austin sees the gif and says “Do you like that?” – they both realize something naughty is about to go down.

He raised his right hand slowly, waiting to see if she’d flinch, but she didn’t. She only stared back at him with those beautiful almond-shaped eyes. He wrapped four fingers around the back of her neck, starting with his pinky and then the rest in succession, like a scale on piano keys. At his touch, she sucked in a breath, the skin of her neck pebbling with goose bumps. He wanted to latch onto it, lave the skin with his tongue until it was smooth again. He settled his thumb into the hollow of her throat, feeling the pulse beat there and then laid his palm flat on her collarbone.

The flush on her face deepened, her eyes glazed, and her breath escaped between her parted lips in gasps.

He caressed her skin with his thumb. “You like my hand at your throat?”

She didn’t answer and doubt crept over him. Maybe he’d misinterpreted, maybe—

“Yes.”

The answer was so soft, so barely spoken, that he thought maybe he hadn’t heard it. He needed more. “Say it.” His voice was hard, flinty, like the striking of a match.

Her eyelids, which had sunk, fluttered open.

“What?”

“Say the words.”

A longer pause, but he was more confident this time, because her body was pliant under his hand.

And when her voice came, it was everything he’d thought it would be. “Yes, I like your hand at my throat.”

That was really all he needed. Moving fast, he turned her so that her back was against the wall in the alcove, his body blocking her from view even though no one could see them unless they purposely meant to be there.

Her hands flew to his biceps and rested there. He waited, wanting to give her time to say no, to stop him if he made her uncomfortable. One word and he’d back away, even if it would feel like peeling his skin off.

And then, with her eyes directly on his, she dropped her arms and laid her palms flat on the wall.

The sight of Marley, submitting to his control, her full breasts and hips on display under a thin dress, had his cock swelling and lengthening in his jeans.

It was painful. But he ignored himself and focused on her. He leaned in and ran the tip of his nose up her neck, angling his head so his tongue followed the same path.

This book is sooooo sexy. The hero is intense, yet kind and warm. I adored the heroine. Changing His Game by Megan Erickson releases Tuesday. We’ll be doing a dirty quote review on Wednesday *grin*
