Professional Reviews

5 KISSES: "Professional Liaison by Sandy Sullivan will melt your heart. It has heat, excitement and a little twist to keep you reading. I loved the depth of characters that Ms. Sullivan brings to her books. Not only is there hot sex but a rare depth too. Melissa is a CEO first and a woman second, that is, until she has a hot night with a sexy cowboy. Then she revives the woman inside her at a price. Will that price be too high? Drew wants Melissa. From the first meeting he wishes he was what she wanted and not there with unscrupulous motives. Can he untangle himself and still keep Melissa? Watching Drew and Melissa fall in love was an experience I was glad to have. When you want hot sex and a deeply emotional story, you want Professional Liaison." -- Tina, TwoLips Reviews

4 DELIGHTFUL DIVAS: "Melissa and Drew have a very complicated relationship in Professional Liaison, the first in the Between the Sheets Series. Sandy Sullivan does a good job portraying Melissa’s need to be in charge in the work place and her vulnerability and need for submission when it comes to sex. Drew is a dominate man by nature, but his first meeting with Melissa has little to do with fate. To keep his sister safe he is forced to get information from her and never expects to see her again after that first encounter. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, Drew works for Melissa’s brother in law and runs into her again. Their story really is a story about trust, betrayal and really trying to make a relationship work no matter how much time it takes or how stubborn either of them chooses to be. Drew has his hands full trying to convince Melissa that she is a natural submissive and that he’s the Dom for her. It seems like every step forward he gets with her, he ends up taking two steps back. It was a very enjoyable read and I look forward to seeing what else Ms. Sullivan comes up with." -- Karyl, Dark Divas Reviews

Excerpt

STORY EXCERPT

“Who sent you?”

“I can’t say.”

She exhaled with a rush of air and tipped her head back on her shoulders, looking at the ceiling before she met his gaze. “Damn it! Do you expect me to let you walk into my life and turn it upside down without any explanations as to how this all happened? I want answers, Drew and I want them now.”

“Listen. What happened between us at your place wasn’t planned. It just happened. I wanted you and you wanted me. There isn’t anything more to it than that.”

“Bullshit! I sure as hell wasn’t looking for a fuck-buddy that night although you fit the bill pretty well. That is definitely not the way I had planned to spend my evening.”

“I can’t tell you anything more than to say, I did what I had to do. Someone I love is in trouble and what I did, I did for her.”

Melissa felt her heart clench at his words. He loves someone. She shook her head to clear her thoughts. “Her?”

“Yes, her.”

“Do you really expect me to leave it at that? Things aren’t adding up here.”

“You don’t have a choice here, Liss. Neither of us do.”

“How do you fit into all this? Why did you show up at my office to take me home? What about the flowers?”

“Flowers?”

“You sent a huge bouquet to my office the next day. Something about ‘I enjoyed last night more than you’ll ever know.’”

“I didn’t send you flowers.”

“Then who did?”

“Damn it! This is getting nuts. Now they’re dragging my fucking personal life into this.”

“What is going on? Obviously there is more to this and I can’t help if I don’t know.” She touched his arm and he flinched slightly.

“I’ll tell you what I can.” He took her hand and tugged her down onto the leather couch with him. “I found out Mandy had set up your little bath party because I was in the office with Brad when he was talking to her on speaker phone. I heard her plans so I used it to get to you.”

“Why?”

“I needed something from you.”

“Sex?”

“Sex with you wasn’t in the plans.” He chuckled and shook his head. “Not that I’m complaining.” Running his fingers across her arm, he smiled when goose bumps rose in the wake of his hand. “We were pretty hot together and you slipped into the roll of sub pretty easily.”

“Sub?” Her heart tripped over itself.

“Submissive.”

Standing quickly, she moved to the other side of the room as a snort left her mouth. “I’m not submissive, Drew.”

He shifted on the couch and threw his arm over the back. “No?”

“Not even close. I’m always in control.”

Within a heartbeat, he stood in front of her and pulled her tight against him. His full lips hovered over hers and she felt her pussy clench.

His eyes darkened while his pupils dilated. “Shall we test that theory?”

She swallowed hard. “I don’t know what you mean.”

The tip of his tongue ran across her lips and she fought the moan rising in her throat.

“I think you want someone to take control, Liss. That someone is me, babe.”

“I don’t.”

“Yes, you do. You’re hot just thinking about my hand on your ass, spanking you until your cheeks are red and stinging.”

“Sp-spanking?”

One palm found her breast before his fingers pinched her nipple through her tank top.

“Bent over my lap, your bare ass high in the air as my hand comes down firmly on your rounded butt cheeks.” She sucked in a ragged breath. “You’re so hot.” His hand slipped down between them and cupped her mound. “You’re burning my hand through your clothes.”

With a soft moan, she opened her thighs and tipped her head back. He nipped at the soft skin of her neck then licked where her heart beat rapidly. The warm tongue ran up her neck to her ear. “Oh yes, you are submissive, Liss, to the right Dom. I can’t wait to get you under me again.”

His words were like a cold shower, tamping down her sexual excitement in a matter of seconds. She pushed against his chest until he stepped back.

“Keep your hands off me,” she hissed and stepped around him to quickly whip open the door.

He chuckled softly behind her and leaned against the desk when she peeked back over her shoulder. “Not a chance, baby.” The confidence he exhibited with his arms crossed over his broad chest and the smirk on his lips, sent her anger souring almost out of control.

How dare he!

“I’m going to love taming you, teaching you and curtailing your controlling personality with a firm hand.”

ADULT EXCERPT

"How about we find that bubble bath?"

"Down the hall and to the left is my bedroom and bathroom," she murmured and smiled when she heard his deep groan as she ran her tongue across the skin of his neck.

The candles were lit in here too, bouncing radiant light off the mirrors on the walls. Mandy had scattered them around Lissa's huge tub and the scent of lavender filled the room. Drew dropped her legs and she slid down the length of his body. Her breasts brushed against the hair-roughened chest of her lover until her heels clicked against the tile floor. Fingers unfastened the garter belt at her waist before he rolled the sexy nylons down, following their path with his mouth.

Threading her hands through his hair, she held his head against her stomach when he laved at her belly button with his tongue. He slipped the lacy underwear down over her hips and let them fall at her feet. One hand skimmed up her leg and she whimpered when his thumb glanced against her swollen clit before wandering back down the other thigh.

The diamond stud in his earlobe winked in the light when he tipped his head up to meet her gaze. Warm palms on her ankle had her shivering again until he slid off her shoes. When he stood, she grabbed the button at his waist and slipped it free. Her hands found his ass and she pulled him so his cock was cradled to her stomach.

"Mmm…someone's up for a little fun."

"Oh yeah." He rubbed his impressive length against her. "Think you can handle it?"

"I'm looking forward to it."

"Me too, babe. I have a feeling you're all woman."

She trailed a fingernail down his chest and said, "How about you get the wine in the other room and I'll warm up the water?"

"My pleasure." He turned when he reached the door and shot her one of the hottest grins she'd ever received.

"Why don’t you leave those sexy leather boots in the other room, handsome?"

"I'll be right back."

His ass leaving looked mighty tempting. Even loose at the waist, his jeans molded to his tight butt cheeks. With a small sigh, she turned on the water in the tub full hot to warm it up. Her fingers trailed through the bubbles a moment as she bent over the rim to test the temperature. The next thing she knew, his naked pelvis and rock hard cock fit perfectly between her cheeks. Lips trailed down her spine and she shivered.

"I could take you just like this with your pretty little ass stuck in the air." Palms and lips cut a path down her back, shooting desire straight to her center.

God, the man's good.

Her pussy clenched and cream slid down the inside of her thigh. Slowly, she stood and turned to face him. Catching her bottom lip between her teeth, she chewed lightly while she surveyed his body clear to his feet. Without taking her eyes off him, she sat on the edge of the tub and swung her legs around before she slid beneath the bubbles.

Palm up, she challenged him with her gaze and said, "Join me?"

With a wicked gleam in his eyes and a tempting bob of his cock against his stomach, he slid into the water and stopped in front of her, nose to nose. She grasped his proud shaft in her hand and stroked up and down. Eyes rolled back in his head and his jaw ticked with the need to fight for control. He let her play for several moments before he grabbed her hand to forestall her movements.

"This will be over way too soon for both of us if you keep that up."

"Don't want that now, do we?"

"No way. I want to feel that sweet pussy of yours gripping me tight."

Her breathing sped up and her heart slammed against her ribs. His lips slanted across her mouth, sucking her bottom lip between his teeth and nibbling softly. Tongues entwined. He set her on his thighs, his cock nestled between them. Calluses rasped over her nipple almost sending her into orgasm at the sensations he caused. Worker’s hands. No sitting behind a desk here. She arched toward his touch, wanting more, needing more. Her fingers gripped the solid muscle of his biceps when his mouth left hers and skimmed across her cheek then down her neck, replacing his palm with his warm mouth.

"Ah. God."

His moan hummed against her skin, sending vibrations straight to her pussy. One hand found the curls at the juncture of her thighs, sliding through them and diving between her pussy lips straight into her vagina.

"Please…"

"Drew. Say it. Say my name, Lissa. I want you to know who's fucking you."

"Drew." The words came out in a breathless whisper.

"Good girl."

Powerful thighs flexed sending the water sloshing around them when he lifted them both out of the tub and her butt hit cold tile.

"Lie back."

Anticipation and need zinged through her at his commanding tone. No one had ever talked to her like that and she found it thrilling and exciting.

"Open your legs. I'm going to eat you up."

A soft whimper left her mouth. With legs spread wide, she fought the immediate orgasm that whipped through her at the first brush of his amazing tongue against her engorged clit. She threaded her fingers through the hair and gripped his scalp as he pleasured her beyond anything she'd ever experienced. The first rush of her orgasm built from her toes and started to wash over her in a raging wave. He stopped sucking on her clit and raised his head. The tortured sound that came from her lips didn't sound like her own.

"Patience, love."

"I'm not a patient person, Drew. I need you to fuck me—right now!"

The tone of his voice dropped and reverberated along her nerve endings. "Oh no, baby. We do this on my terms. You come when I say you do."
