For today’s Book Hooks, I’ve got an exclusive excerpt from my trope-busting BDSM erotic romance The Gazillionaire and the Virgin. Enjoy!
Blurb
She’s the billionaire. He’s the virgin. Still, he knows how to make her melt.
When Silicon Valley entrepreneur Rachel Zelinsky meets reclusive genius Theo Moore, she has a single objective —a deal to incorporate his AI software into her company’s popular virtual world. She finds Theo to be arrogant, sensitive and socially awkward, but his aura of power speaks to her carefully-hidden submissive side. Confused and aroused, she falls under his geeky spell.
Theo Moore can’t be bought. His past battles with poverty make him deeply suspicious of the billionaire CEO, though Rachel’s voluptuous curves and brilliant mind embody his ultimate fantasy. Too bad his knowledge about sex derives from extensive research and a stash of kinky porn rather than real-world experience.
Rachel may be Theo’s first lover, but Theo is her first true Master. One word from him, one touch, and she surrenders to bliss. It seems that love and complementary desire may harmonize their differing values, until Rachel’s unwitting violation of Theo’s trust tears them apart.
The Hook
I’ve got to find out where we stand, Theo and I. I’ve got to talk to him.
I swipe my phone and redial.
This time he answers on the first ring.
“Hello.”
His voice is flat, devoid of emotion. He also sounds out of breath, as though he’s been exercising. Who knows, maybe he works out. It doesn’t fit my image of him, but that impressive body must come from somewhere.
“Hi, Theo. It’s me, Rachel.”
Silence. Will he hang up on me?
“Are you still there?” I venture, after what feels like thirty seconds of dead time.
“Um, yes. I’m here.”
“Why didn’t you say something?”
“Honestly? I have no idea what to say.” His voice rises, a sign of impending panic. “I’ve never been in this situation before.”
What is he talking about? “What situation?”
“I mean – I – you – I mean, us…” He strives valiantly to continue.
Light dawns.
“Theo – you mean – I’m your first lover?” I remember his grace, his strength, his confidence as he gave me the ultimate in pleasure. It couldn’t be possible!
“My first fuck. Yeah.” He sounds grim. “Pretty sad, right? Twenty nine and still a virgin.” His bitter laughter makes me flinch. “Hope I didn’t disappoint you.”
“Theo – dear Theo – you know you didn’t. I know this sounds sappy, but it was wonderful.”
“Wonderful? Please. That’s a bit overdone, don’t you think, Dr. Zelinsky?”
“No, I mean it. Special.”
More silence, but somehow less threatening. He’s considering my words, trying to decide whether to believe me.
“Thank you,” he says finally, his voice small. “Is that why you called, to tell me that?”
“Partly,” I reply, letting out the breath I didn’t realize I was holding. “Plus I need to know the bank and account number for Code in the Hood. We scored about one point five million dollars last night.”
“Can’t you find that out via your spies?”
I bristle until I realize he’s teasing me. “Probably. So you might as well tell me.”
“Not over the phone. It could be tapped.” I can’t tell if he’s joking or not. “We’ll have to meet in person.”
My stomach does a giddy somersault. “I’d like that. Are you free tomorrow night? Saturday?”
“I’ll have to check my social calendar.” He’s struggling not to giggle.
“If you do have prior engagements, Dr. Moore, cancel them. I’ll pick you up at seven.”
“Who do you think you are, giving me orders?” His voice deepens. An electric thrill prickles between my thighs.
“I’m the one with the money. I doubt you could afford the restaurant where I plan to take you.”
“And you think that makes you the boss, Dr. Zelinsky?” Quiet confidence rings in his voice, the settled strength that enchanted me last night. “Think again.”

I love stories that turn tropes on their head, and this is beautifully done. Love the nuances of power and control between them.
Nice touches of subtle humor
Wow, intriguing! Power, control, and wealth got it all plus a twist! Love it! Thanks for sharing!
I like how he says they'll have to meet in person. :-)
