      Every relationship has its limits. What is theirs?

      Unravel Me is a short erotic novella that deals with trust, BDSM, and if love can truly conquer all.

      One

      Cathedral Springs was a foreign place like no other. The homes looked modest, but they were all worth well into the millions. Families were diverse, and the neighborhood was quiet. It was a secluded place, just miles away from Los Angeles, yet close enough to be near the hustle and bustle.

      It was her second home.

      The cacophony of downtown Los Angeles sounds was heard a brief distance away. The air was as clean as it was going to get in L.A., but she didn’t feel like she was choking. Instead, she took a deep inhale and exhale, letting the wind circulate through her body.

      As sunlight crept into the blinds inside the posh residence, Mariana Harlow slowly opened her eyes and yawned inside the California King bed. She didn’t bother to turn over to see if her boyfriend was in the room. He was already awake and closing deals before she had her morning coffee.

      She slowly rose up from the bed and stretched. She took a shower and dressed for work before she went searching for him. She chose tweed gray slacks and a pink blouse. Her standard heels were always in the car and she often went to work wearing her Sketchers.

      She missed the days when he would carefully pick out her wardrobe, making sure it complimented her body the best. She knew she had to earn his trust again, yet she wasn’t sure how. The therapy sessions they both took part in were intense, yet needed. No more pretenses. No more wondering. No more accusations.

      Raw and ethereal, just like how they both were.

      Mariana went searching for her boyfriend in the midst of his sprawling estate. Five bedrooms, and four bathrooms, with a Jacuzzi and pool. There was a newly added basement just for the fellas to come over during game day, with a monstrous flat screen TV and wet bar.

      The very back of the home was where the master bedroom was. It was open and wide, with lots of natural light. An expensive, imported rug laid beneath the bed, which was covered in Egyptian cotton and satin.

      In the corner of the room, on the bedside along with other books, was a picture of the two of them together. She smiled at the Valentine’s Day memory, when he’d surprised her with a Mariachi band and heart-shaped petals. They were wrapped into a loving embrace, and she could still remember the emotions of that day.

      The home was modern, yet the extravagance of the owner clearly showed. It was clear good money was spent, yet he also found a good deal in many bargain items. When it came to her, and to them, then she realized he would spend every last dime to make her happy and keep her there.

      She found him in his usual space, staring out the window in his home office. He was negotiating a deal and she was careful not to interrupt. She knew how precious time, business was to him, and she dared not waste a second of neither.

      So, Mariana just stood and watched, in complete amazement of the man everyone knew as Scott Reed.

      He was an advertising wunderkind, a philanthropist who donated millions of his money, and a calculating executive who didn’t take no for an answer. Incredibly ambitious, drop-dead gorgeous, and the man who’d fucked her into submission the week before; Mariana was forever in awe of him.

      Scott held out a finger behind him, silently requesting she gave him a few more minutes and Mariana quietly obliged. She tiptoed her way to the corner sofa and laid down. The last few days were a rollercoaster of emotions and Thanksgiving was just around the corner.

      She made a mistake becoming intimate with another man, though no sex had occurred. It didn’t matter. Mariana had crossed a line and she wasn’t sure if all was completely forgiven between her and Scott. He purposely stayed away from her during his birthday weekend, and she suffered with little contact.

      The therapy session proved to be just as intense as they both accused of each other of purposing hurting the other, yet they both knew it wasn’t true. Still, it wasn’t fun to listen to how she’d almost destroyed the trust they’ve worked so hard to rebuild over the year. She would have to try harder now.

      Mariana watched Scott’s body flexed underneath the sharp business attire. He never wore suits unless he absolutely had to. Instead, he preferred to wear dress shirts and slacks, with his choice of expensive designer shoes.

      The majority of his clothing usually came from Target or some mall department store, and he preferred it that way. No one could tell if he wore a Gucci shirt or something from JCPenney’s. It made him more relatable to his employees, and those he’d inspired on a daily basis.

      His voice was low and clipped, and a little of his Georgia accent came out. He wasn’t the type to yell or get angry at his employees. All he had to was to change his tone, choose short, staccato-like sentences, and everyone knew he meant business. Scott never tried to change who he was. He recognized his faults and his strengths, and simply told everyone around him to keep up or be left behind.

      Scott finally turned his attention towards his girlfriend; his lips curving upward into a delicious panty-wetting smile. He took long strides over toward her and hovered over her as she glanced up at him. She hadn’t done her makeup yet, but it didn’t matter. She was the most gorgeous woman he’d ever seen and she wanted to devour her.

      He nestled himself between her thighs and Mariana accommodated him by spreading them open and wide. It was a position they’d done many times over the years and it still felt new every time. He stared down at her soft brown eyes and felt his breath caught at her stunning beauty.

      I’ll see you next Tuesday, he spoke into the headset, I can’t wait to see the RFP. He discarded the headset and caressed his girlfriend’s face. Good Morning, baby.

      Mariana looked up at him and smiled. Scott Reed was a truly gorgeous man. Sculpted cheekbones, shoulder-length brown hair with sun-kissed blond highlights. His lips were full, kissable, and very sensual. Mariana’s thighs tingled just thinking about how Scott had his lips everywhere on her body the week before.

      A week. A full, whole seven days since they last made love. Both knew it was because of scheduling conflicts and just pure exhaustion. At least that’s the lie she told herself. Mariana knew it was because of her betrayal; Scott wasn’t sure if he wanted to touch her without visualizing her with another man.

      It was a mistake Mariana felt she was going to be in debt for the remainder of the relationship. She had to keep earning her trust with Scott, and he was reluctant to give it due to being burned on an international level from a previous girlfriend. Now Mariana just did the one thing she vowed she would never do – humiliate Scott in a similar way his ex-fiancée did before.

      Guilt rose up in Mariana’s throat like heavy bile and she swallowed it back down. The comparisons to her and Scott’s ex were inevitable. Now she had to fight for his trust again, though she was never quite sure if he’d ever given it to her from the start.

      She pushed all insecurities and doubt aside as she studied his face. A
