Rule #1: Never disobey master’s commands.
Rule #2: Always strive to please your master.
Rule #3: Don’t ever kill your master.
Breaking the rules is the ultimate sin.
All I am is a servant. Rules like these keep me alive. They’re all I’ve ever known.
Until him.
My new master: Marcus Knight, the charismatic and ambitious leader of an underground empire.
A man with a history he vows to destroy.
With his newfound ownership over me, he seeks to atone for his crimes … and to satisfy his wicked needs.
With love, he shows me what it means to belong to him … and it makes me question everything.
I don’t know why he chose me, but it feels too good to be true.
And it is.
Because I’m going to break all the rules.
“Turn around.”
I shift positions and feel him squirt some liquid over my back. The sponge gently touches my back, and he caresses me with it, carefully moving over each and every one of my scars, almost as if to outline them.
“How did you get your scars?” he asks after a while.
“Lashes. Many of them.”
He squeezes the sponge out over my shoulder and continues to massage me with it.
“I think they’re beautiful. Do you know why?”
“No,” I answer, feeling the warmth of his touch.
“Because they make you who you are. And I like you … just the way you are.”
I glance over my shoulder, a sudden rush of heat gathering at my cheeks. He smiles, and at that moment, I feel the butterflies flood my stomach.
“Thank you …” I mutter.
He places the sponge on the side of the tub and then wraps his arms around my shoulders, his chin leaning on me. “You know … I didn’t just liked fucking you … I mean it was amazing, but I don’t just like you because of that. I like you … because of who you are. I like you as more than just … a servant,” he whispers into my ear.
I take a deep breath as his lips part and he places a gentle kiss underneath my ear.
It suddenly feels so hot and steamy in here, I forget how to breathe for a second.
“I like you for you, Ava. Just you.”
He plants another kiss right on my neck.
It feels so good … but sinful at the same time.
Like we’re not supposed to be doing this at all.
Master Marcus isn’t here. He didn’t give us permission.
Yet I want nothing more than for him to continue.
For a moment, I even wish he’d just take me away so that I didn’t have a choice. So I didn’t have to make an excuse as to why I shouldn’t do it … it would be so simple not having any responsibility for my actions.
But I know that’s not how things work.
“Daniel …” I mutter.
“Shh …” he whispers into my ear, creating goosebumps all over my body. “It’s okay.”
“It’s not,” I whisper. “Master isn’t here.”
“Exactly.”
He continues to kiss me anyway, and I can’t help but close my eyes, my head leaning back because it needs more. I need more.
I need everything. “Turn around.”

I haven't read anything by Clarissa Wild before, but I now intend to look for everything I can find by her. Ultimate Sin is dark, twisted, exciting, and wild.
While the synopsis might make you think this is a story of two people, it isn't. There are three people involved in Ultimate Sin. It's the story of Marcus, Ava, and Daniel and Ava's love for two men. Ava has led a horrible life, but underneath everything she is innocent and naive. She has no idea how the world operates. Her one goal in life is to be loved.
Daniel is similar to Ava, but he is somewhat jaded. He doesn't trust easily and wants more from life than it's given him.
Marcus knows exactly how the world works. He's Dominant and alpha, but he doesn't want to hurt anyone. He's trying desperately to make up for past mistakes.
Both men fall for Ava, but in different ways. Usually I can predict a book fairly well, after having read so many, but this ending was not what I expected. The book had a happy ending, but it was not what you think will happen.
I can't say much more without completely giving away the plot. You really need to read it to see what I'm talking about. If you like dark romance you won't be disappointed, but you will be surprised. I give Ultimate Sin FOUR STARS!
