Make Me Stay by Ella Jade
Welcome to Wickedly Bookish's stop on the Make Me Stay Release Day Blitz brought to you by Shades of Rose Marketing.
Natural submissive Gracie Miller thought she had found her
other half in Cade Jameson. Not only did he help her through a difficult time
in her life, in the bedroom he brought her more pleasure than she could have
ever imagined. They seemed perfect for each other.
Cade knew what he wanted in the bedroom. Gracie brought out
his domineering side and ignited his passion. But he feared he was too dominant
for this beautiful, naïve girl, who was so young and impressionable, so he
ended their relationship.
Two and a half years later, Gracie returns to town a new
woman. She had moved to the city and found a "Master" who showed her
what she was truly capable of. Now she's back and wants to show Cade exactly
what kind of submissive she could be for him.
But after hearing all that she's experienced, Cade now
wonders if he's dominant enough to satisfy her. Can he be the man Gracie needs
him to be?

Excerpt
Ten minutes later they were seated at a quaint restaurant in
the center of town. Cade had requested a quiet table in the back so they
wouldn't be interrupted. He was confused enough and didn't need any distractions.
Being a well-known businessman, he was always running into people who wanted to
have a drink with him. Gracie's return would probably be the talk of the town
in a matter of days.
Once they ordered dinner and the waitress poured their wine
he'd had enough small talk. He wanted answers.
Why did you come back?
I told you. Gracie sipped her wine. "I took a job
here."
Do you think I'm stupid?
Of course not. She lowered her head.
Don't do that.
Do what?
Just look at me. He was puzzled over her return and her
elusiveness frustrated him.
She quickly raised her gaze, meeting his eyes.
You walked away from this town without a trace. I don't
believe you would come back after all this time to consult. Something isn't
right.
You told me to leave.
Me! He tapped his chest. "I told you to leave me. I
never expected you to disappear. I thought I'd know where you were and what you
were doing." Even though he told her to go, he'd always intended to take
care of her.
Without you, there wasn't anything here for me. You were
everything. I had no family. I lived in your house. Where did you expect me to
go?
We could have figured it out together. I would have made
sure you were taken care of. She'd always been his responsibility and when she
left he panicked she'd end up on the street.
I needed to go. I had to figure out who I was. That's what
you wanted.
I wanted you to be happy.
I am. She smiled. "I told you, I met someone who helped
me."
Then why aren't you with him? He didn't like to think about
her with another man. It infuriated him to know someone else touched what was
his, even if he did let her go. "Are you running from him? Is that why
you're back here? Do you need my help?"
She laughed. "I could never run from Martin."
He hated knowing his name. "So, Martin was your
boyfriend?"
"Not really." She
took another sip of her wine.
Her mysterious behavior pissed him off. She'd better start
talking and fast.
Your husband? He felt his blood boil. Could she have gotten
married?
Cade, she said as she reached for his hand. "I don't
want you to freak, but Martin was my Dom. I was his submissive."
