The Deal — Elizabeth Reed

This is a steamy romance short story (word count 5,604)

Scarlett finds herself at the total mercy of Chris!
She has always been frightened of Chris, due to his raw sexuality combined with his intense, admitted desire for her. She believes that he will be too much to handle and takes the easy option to run as far away from him as possible.
But now she can no longer ignore Chris: her brother and his family need her help, and Chris is the only one she can turn to make things right.
So she strikes up a deal with him: if he grants her a favour, she will give him what he has been questing for such a long time, even if this means that she must get rid of her own inhibitions to see her part of the bargain through!
