Jennifer Dawson
Valentine’s night. Three women. A hot new club where anything can happen.
After a life changing tragedy Layla Hunter is finally happy. Michael Banks has pulled her back from the dead and given her a love she’d thought was lost to her forever. Now, all she wants is to return the favor and give him the one thing she swore she’d never do again.
Jillian Banks is up for absolutely anything and her smoking hot fiancĂ©, Leo Santoro, is determined to give it to her. After exploring her fantasies in the privacy of her own home, Jillian’s ready for more and Leo is going above and beyond to make her happy. In return, she’ll do anything to make him proud.
Ruby Stiles isn’t sure what she’s doing at a sex party at one of Chicago’s most anticipated new clubs. Currently she’s blaming it on curiosity. All she wants is to disappear into the background, only her emotions have decided to go on a roller coaster ride and the last thing she expects is for Chad Fellows to pick up the pieces.
Sometimes even the best laid plans unravel…
*While Unraveled can be read as a standalone for fun, it is best read after reading CRAVE and SINFUL

Ruby
I don’t know what I’m doing here. I almost turned around and
went home about a hundred times on the Uber ride over. The only thing that
stopped me was Layla. She invited me to this party and I don’t want to
disappoint her.
It’s not like I’m a prude or anything, but sex parties
aren’t really my thing. I agreed because I was curious, and have second-guessed
my decision ever since.
Michael, my best friend Layla’s boyfriend, lets me in. He
smiles and wraps me up in a big bear hug that makes me feel like a miniature
person. I’m only five-three, practically tiny next to Michael’s tallness.
“Ruby, glad you decided to come along. Come on in.”
“Thanks for the invite,” I say in my most breezy voice. I’m
beyond nervous to be doing something so outside my comfort zone, but I don’t
want anyone to notice.
I walk into Michael and Layla’s living room to find Layla
kneeling on the floor, wearing an obscene white dress that hardly leaves
anything to the imagination. Unable to hide my shock, I let out a surprised,
“Oh.”
Layla flashes me a sly little grin before giving Michael a
dark look.
Michael laughs. “Layla’s working on a bit of an attitude
adjustment right now, what can I get you to drink?”
I bite my bottom lip as a stab of jealousy twists in my
chest. A jealousy I don’t understand or want, but seems to grow every time I
see Layla and Michael. Even engaged in their kinky behavior, they are just so
together. So very in love. It’s a stark reminder that Layla has managed to
share this bond with two men—her fiancĂ© that passed away and Michael—while I
haven’t managed to find it once.
I clear my throat and try to pretend it’s perfectly normal
that she’s kneeling on the floor, patting her dog, Belle, and scowling at the
love of her life. “I’ll take whatever you have. I’m not picky.”
I turn to Leo and Jillian, who’ve I’ve gotten to know quite
well over the last nine months. They’re also in the so-called “lifestyle” and
look positively gorgeous together with their dark hair and olive skin.
Like
Michael, Leo’s wearing all black, and Jillian is decked out in some sort of red
dress I can’t even figure out how she got on. The top is a tight corset she
looks sewn into and the skirt is a flirty little fabric that barely reaches
mid-thigh on her ridiculously long legs. She’s tall—at least five nine or
ten—and looks like an Amazon warrior princess.
Leo strokes his hand down her rubber-encased hip and Jillian
gives me a glassy-eyed, slightly unfocused smile before waving hello.
Leo winks at me. “You’re looking lovely tonight, Ruby.”
“Thanks,” I say, the response automatic, although I’m not
sure it’s true. I’m pretty enough, but in my short, black skirt, studded belt,
and black tank top I’m dressed all wrong.
Layla and Jillian look like sex and sin. Every man that sees
them tonight will want them. Lust after them and covet what Michael and Leo
have. I, on the other hand, look like a pixie rock princess. Like I’m dressed
for a Halloween party instead of to be ravished on Valentine’s Day.
