intensifying whirlwind.
But where a storm
is brewing…destruction and devastation follow.

goes from prodigy to party girl in this sexy full-length prequel to Platinum in

Excerpt
Trihn sighed and
sank back into her seat just as the first ballerina floated on stage. As she
reveled in the performance, Preston ran his hand up her arm and to her
shoulder, sending shivers down her spine. She glanced over and him and he had
this dirty smirk on his face. He wasn’t even watching the ballet. His eyes were
solely trained on her.
She swallowed and
stared back at the ballet in front of her, but her attention was torn. His
fingers brushed her long tresses off her neck. The palm of his hand pushed flat
against her skin and up into hair. He pulled it gently, and as her head dipped
backward, her eyes closed of their own accord.
With his other
hand, he laced their fingers together, bringing her hand to his lips. He
tenderly kissed each knuckle before drawing her thumb gently between his teeth.
She inhaled deeply.
He seemed to be
enjoying himself as he kneaded the muscles in her neck. He leaned forward
toward her and planted a soft kiss on the sensitive skin.
“Keep your eyes
open. You don’t want to miss a second of this,” he breathed softly.
Dear God! He was
teasing her. This was sweet blissful torture.
She could hardly
concentrate. Keeping up with two things at once, when one was tempting her with
everything she wanted, was harder than it seemed. She was glad that as the
ballet drew to a close that she had seen it before or else she would have been
entirely lost to what was happening much of the performance.
His touch was
captivating, and she found she was a lost cause when it came to this man. She
hadn’t just forgotten the ballet that was in front of her face; the world had
disappeared all around her. In a sea of people, there was just him.
The curtain dropped
unexpectedly, bright lights flooded the auditorium, and Trihn jolted upright.
Preston sat up straight as if he hadn’t just been working her into a frenzy
with the lightest touches imaginable. The smirk on his face was the only
indication that anything was amiss.
As the curtain was
raised and the dancers began to take their bows, Trihn rose on shaky legs to
give the ballet that she couldn’t remember a standing ovation. Preston stood by
her side, applauding. They clapped until everyone left the stage and people
started filing out.
She exited into the
aisle, and Preston grabbed her hand again.
“Hey, we’re not
done,” he said. The words were suggestive and were accented by his hand
squeezing around her waist.
“Oh?” she managed
to get out.
“Come on. I think
you’ll like this surprise better.”
“Why is that?” she
asked.
“Because I like to
finish the things that I start.”
