Heart Thief
Released by Romance Unbound
After a stint in the Army, Luke Malone finds himself far from his country roots, working casino security in Las Vegas. Just beginning to come to grips with his submissive side, he doesn't stand a chance when powerful Houston millionaire Glenn Griffin sets his sights on the Texas cowboy.
After one hot night of instant connection, Glenn offers Luke a dream job and a lot more. However, all too soon Glenn tires of his latest boy toy. To clear the path for his next conquest, Glenn sends Luke on a business trip to an East Texas ranch in which he has an investment interest. There Luke meets Sawyer, a man with very different ideas about erotic submission and mixing pain with pleasure. In addition to bondage, suspension and whips, with Sawyer there is also tenderness, affirmation and a deep sensual bond like none Luke has ever experienced.
On his own path in search of meaning through spiritual D/s and erotic pain, Sawyer has had troubles of his own. With Luke, he embarks on a journey that opens both their worlds in ways neither had ever imagined. That is, until Glenn decides he wants his boy back. And what Glenn wants, Glenn gets.

In Heart Thief, Claire Thompson takes Luke Malone on an intensely erotic journey that is as sexual as it is spiritual when he explores his submissive side with two completely different men. ...Heart Thief is a compelling romance with a unique and unexpected plot. Luke and Sawyer are well-developed and sympathetic protagonists and the sex is scorching hot. As with many of her other works, Claire Thompson provides her readers with valuable insight into the BDSM lifestyle.
4.0 out of 5 stars Heart, Emotion & Sexual Discovery
...Claire Thompson always gives the reader a story with emotional and sexual layers that make you feel and think. ... The emotion in Heart Thief was wonderful. I liked the characters of Sawyer and Luke and especially the depths Sawyer was willing to go to help Luke understand and accept his submissive nature. ...For the emotional journey and insight into the BDSM lifestyle I can easily recommend Heart Thief.
...This is a very interesting take on BDSM and I enjoyed it. The men in the story are in every sense of the word, equals. Luke finds that to be a submissive lover, to be who he was born to be, isn't admitting to being a lesser man, it means more. Much more. Claire did a wonderful job with the characterization, the plot, the setting, and though this is a BDSM love story, she kept it lighter than her other M/M BDSM stories. Sawyer is a gentle Dom but make no mistake, he's every bit the Master.

...With Heart Thief, Claire Thompson cannot help but amaze the reader with her depth and knowledge of BDSM...BDSM can be beautiful when done correctly. Claire Thompson shows this wonderfully with the differences between Sawyer and Glenn. ...Heart Thief was at times, scary, and, at times, intriguing, but overall it was a tender, poignant love story of two men who meet connect and help each other. Glenn's presence only served to make it bittersweet. Emotion, action, pain, and love all combine in the pages of Heart Thief to make Claire Thompson's latest a book another must read!

Excerpt
Something about Glenn, about his commanding tone and the certainty that he would be obeyed, stoked the fire already burning in Luke's blood and he found himself doing as he was told. Clasping his hands behind him, he leaned down toward Glenn's cock. He inhaled the heady, powerful scent of the other man's musk as his lips touched the head of his cock. He licked along the slit, tasting the slightly salty pre-come before lowering his mouth to take him in.
Glenn's hand had remained on the back of his head, pushing him slowly but surely downward until he'd taken the full length of the shaft. He held him in that position for several long seconds and Luke let him, his heart thundering against his ribs, his cock straining in his jeans.
When Glenn let up the pressure, Luke began to suck the hard, smooth shaft, gripping his hands tight together behind his back as he bobbed up and down. Glenn hooked one leg around Luke's back, the heel of his boot pressing hard, holding him close. He raked his fingers through Luke's hair. "That's it, boy. Yeah, oh yeah."
All at once he jerked Luke's head up by the hair and gave him a deep kiss, his hot tongue thrusting into Luke's mouth with a fierceness that was almost violent in its power and its hunger. Luke felt as if all the air had been forced from his lungs. He was dizzy with lust and loss of control.
When Glenn finally let him go, it was only to force his head back down. Luke didn't need to be told what to do. Greedily he sought the hard, slick shaft with his mouth, taking it deep and sucking for all he was worth. His own cock was throbbing, his balls aching. Without realizing what he was doing, he reached into Glenn's open pants and pulled gently at his balls. Glenn didn't stop him. His head was back, his eyes squeezed shut, his mouth pressed tight. Luke caressed the silky, heavy balls, easing back some on Glenn's cock to tease the head with his tongue.
Glenn moaned and reached for Luke's shoulder, squeezing the muscle as his body stiffened. Luke lowered his head again, sucking in Glenn's cock as he fondled his balls. The heel of Glenn's boot was digging into Luke's back but he didn't care. Or, to be more accurate, the hard pressure of that boot holding him close only served to spur him on. He worshipped the man's cock, caught in that strange embrace.
Glenn began to pant. "Yeah," he breathed. "That's it, boy. Take it. Take it all for me. Oh, Jesus god, yes." He drew out the last word, his fingers digging hard into Luke's shoulder. Luke kept up the pace, excited by Glenn's powerful reaction. He could feel Glenn moving close to the edge. Not wanting it to end, Luke pulled back again, drawing circles with his tongue around the fat head of Glenn's cock, which gleamed in the reflected light of the Vegas night.
Glenn moaned. "Jesus, boy, you are driving me insane." Again reaching for Luke's head, he gripped a handful of the short hair and, holding tight, forced Luke's head down, and down, until he'd again taken the full length of him. It was Luke's turn to moan, as lust and aching desire arced through him like a bolt of white lightning. Though he couldn't explain why, something about being on his knees, Glenn's boot at his back, Glenn's fingers tangled in his hair, Glenn's cock deep in his throat, thrilled Luke to the very core of his being.
"That's it, boy. Take it. Take it all for me."
It was Glenn now who was controlling the pace, both hands on either side of Luke's head, thrusting his shaft deep and pulling it back against Luke's tongue and lips. All at once he arched his back and shouted, "Oh fuck!" He shot his load with a low grunt and a shudder so strong it rocked them both. With a satisfied sigh, Glenn eased himself back into the leather seat, pulling Luke up with him. Holding Luke tightly between his legs, he wrapped his arms around him and they faced each other, their lips almost touching.
He touched Luke's cheek, a look of wonder settling over his strong features. "That was incredible, Luke. You were born to do that. You were born to serve, and the man who claims you is going to be one lucky son of a bitch."
"Ooh." The word came out low and guttural, almost a grunt. It was pulled from Luke's lips before he realized he had spoken, the syllable drawn out in surprise but also recognition. Born to serve. The words were as powerful as being told to get on his knees. How was it, that words could draw such a strong reaction?
