But could she handle both of these things being in different states? The day she left Orlando would be the day her heart connected with someone and the beginning of her own personal hell, making her question everything.

The story is more enhanced if read in order.

★★★ WARNING: ADULT CONTENT ★★★

I lifted her chin with my fingers and held her in place, so our eyes met. I noticed her lids were hooded and her eyes dilated with sensual need. “You are my definition of perfection. Don’t ever forget that.” I whispered against her lips, waiting for a response.

If I’d ever had any doubt as to her submissiveness, it was laid to rest with her quiet, “Yes, sir.” Two simple words, but they meant everything to me.

Our mouths melded together, engaging in a passionate dance. Her tongue caressed my lips, and my teeth nipped hers, each of us begging to be inside the other. My lips blazed a trail down her neck, nipping at the juncture of her shoulder. A soft moan escaped her throat, her fingers clenched my shoulders, and she unconsciously rocked her hips against my thighs, making me harden beneath her. Don’t forget this is about her tonight, not you. You need to gain her trust, so she knows you have her best interest at heart.

I brought one hand up to gently brush across one of her breasts, feeling her hardened nipple through the fabric. The other traveled up her inner thigh to rest against her center. I could feel the heat radiating off of her lace panties, which were soaked with her arousal. The scent was starting to permeate the air and forever burning a place within my heart and mind.

I slowly ran a finger along the edge of her panties, but was met with a slap to my arm. Her words were breathy, barely audible, as her head shook. “I can’t Rafe. You promised we’d go slow.”

I held her close to me and gently bit her nipple through her clothes. Her eyes closed, then she threw her head back, my name expressed in a sensual moan that had me so hard I was afraid there would be a permanent imprint of the zipper on my dick. My mouth moved slowly up her jaw line and to her mouth, where I tugged on her lower lip with my teeth, teasing it. “Make no mistake, bella. I. Want. You. But tonight is all about your pleasure, not mine. Let me show you what it can be like with me. Let me give you both pleasure and pain. Together, they elicit orgasms that have to be experienced to believe. I promise to take nothing for myself, only giving you the satisfaction that you desire—that you deserve. Please, may I show you what it’s like to be mine?”

My hand moved higher on her inner thigh, massaging circles into her skin, as I spoke. When I reached her drenched center, I rubbed the heel of my hand against her mound to emphasize my point. “Say no and we’ll stop right now. I’ll return you to your hotel, no harm no foul. What will it be, mi amore?”

She trembled and shifted closer, an impassioned, “Yes!” was her only response.

I thrust my tongue into her mouth, devouring every inch of it, demonstrating what I’d love to do with her in bed. My fingers found their way under the saturated lace of her panties and caressed her warm, slick folds.

I stroked from her clit to her entrance once, twice, and elicited a sweet moan from her lips. “That’s it, bella. Feel me, my touch, focus on this moment, and allow the pleasure to fill you.”

Dawn’s body relaxed into mine, my fingers moved further down to her soaked center. Her smell was intoxicating. A gentle hint of lavender mixed with the subtly of cherries. It was all I could do not to rip open my pants and shove deep inside her. My cock had other ideas, but tonight would be about gaining her trust, show her I was a man of my word. I’d give her pleasure beyond her wildest dreams, but I’d leave her craving more—needing me.

My teeth nipped at that oh so tender spot just behind a woman’s ear that drove everyone nuts, including Dawn. I slipped one finger into her center, as my thumb smoothed over her hardened nub, causing her to rock hard against my hand. I knew there was a little minx in there somewhere. Now I just need to coax it to the surface and encourage it to explore.

Her core was tight, hot, and needy. Her vaginal walls clamped down hard on my finger, sucking me inside. I rimmed her core, trying to stretch her with each pass until I was finally able to push in another finger. She’d be hell on my dick, so tight I wouldn’t even last a second. God, she felt good.

Dawn began riding my hand. My thumb circled her distended clit, and my fingers sought out the bundle of nerves inside that would make her explode in my arms. Her breathing became erratic and soft whimpers escaped her lips as her walls began to flutter against my fingers.

“This is your first lesson in discipline, mia bella angelo. You will not come until I tell you.” Her body became stiff as she tensed. She scrunched her eyes and panted in an attempt to keep herself from coming apart in my arms. I wouldn’t torture her for long.

I kept up my ministrations, as she whimpered and fought to control her body. Her scent, her movements, everything about her solidified it was only her that I needed. And I needed her here, with me.

Her fingers began to dig into my shoulders, signaling it was time to watch my woman come for the first time. My fingers moved in and out of her moist heat at a brutal pace. My thumb pressed firmly against her clit, I whispered against her neck, “Come for me, mi amore,” and my fingers curved inward to press against her g-spot. Her body began to quake in my arms and my mouth covered hers, swallowing her cry of ecstasy.

Sometimes authors tell you that their books can be read as standalones, but they don't make much sense if you haven't read the other books. This is not the case with I NEED YOU HERE. I hadn't read the other books in the Need series, but it all made perfect sense and, as stated in the synopsis, the books can be read alone, out of order, and separately.

I liked the concept behind the story in I NEED YOU HERE. It's a genre I read a lot of so I quickly scooped it up when offered a chance to read and review the book.

Overall I liked both Rafe and Dawn. He is strong, alpha, and Dominant. She is inexperienced in many ways, but she is also strong in her own way. She's had to be strong in her life. Rafe introduces Dawn to the BDSM lifestyle. He sees submission in her and knows already that he's a Dom.

Rafe has always shied away from relationships, but he is drawn to Dawn. From the moment he meets her he knows there's something special there. Dawn is hiding her past (and her present). She's very secretive. She doesn't want help; she wants to make it on her own.

This book switched POV from Dawn to Rafe, but it wasn't confusing to understand. It helped tell both points of view and worked well. The thing I didn't like was that the book kept going from the past to the present. Rafe or Dawn would be talking to each other or someone else and it would switch to the past. It seemed sometimes like, if they were only telling a story, too many small details were divulged. It didn't seem real. I also had a hard time with Dawn's back story. It was too over the top and cliche. Her past wasn't realistic.

Other than those two minor points though, I liked the story and will most likely read the other stories in this series. I give I NEED YOU HERE 3.5 STARS!
