Yet after years of hard work, therapy and friends, she is standing on her own two feet, somewhat comfortable and in control of her own destiny...Or so she thinks. When her boss and good friend of fifteen years chooses to sell the company, it sets Coral's small world spinning, shattering her carefully constructed routine - and places her in the sights of business mogul Tristan Freeman, a man too handsome for his own good...And her new boss. But with the ghosts of the past still haunting her, can Coral finally exorcise these demons, face her darkest fears and allow the irresistible Tristan into her heart?

Then just when Coral thinks that things can't get any better, danger weaves its way around them...With her happiness and their very lives on the line, how far can she go to protect the one she loves?

As she begins to recover from her ordeal, she must learn to let go of her need to control, and allow Tristan to take care of her, for he is the one that managed to break down her walls, whilst patiently wearing down the barriers she threw between them - until Coral's heart was firmly caught in his grasp.

Explicit age play erotic story. From the # 1Erotic Short Story Best Selling Author Jessie Carr. DICTIONARY: Age play the act of an adult pretending to be much younger than they are, usually for mutual sexual gratification. Taster. I stood outside the burger place, the chill wind blowing around my bare legs and up the school uniform skirt. If it had just been a bit longer it wouldn't have been so bad, thankfully I only had to wait a minute or two before he pulled up in the car. I jumped in. "Hi Daddy!" I called out, knowing he loved it when I spoke in a shrill playful voice whilst biting my lip. "Hey princess." "Can I have a sweetie please?" "Not yet wait till we get to the park,'' He said using his daddy voice. "Ohhhh." I said back pouting at him. "Put your seatbelt on." He said as we drove off. I pulled the long strap across me and plugged it in. I looked down at myself, I barely took up half the seat. I was so skinny, I didn't care how small I looked, my daddy loves me and that's all I care about. He must've been eager today because he drove quickly and in a few minutes we arrived at the park. He turned the engine off and sat looking down at me. He's big but not massive even so I looked like a pixie doll compared to him. My heart was beating really fast. "Can I have a sweetie now?" He twisted his mouth like he was trying to chew away a smile. "They’re in a bag on the back seat." I put my hand on the handle and as soon as I did he coughed, one of those false coughs that people do to get your attention, I knew exactly what he meant by it, it made me smile, I knew what to do. I undid my seatbelt and twisted my body between the seats stretching to reach the bag at the back. I knew without looking that he was staring at my legs, and my long socks and my skirt was just long enough that he wouldn't quite be able to see my panties but the hope was there.
