The Tantric Principle

The Tantric Principle - by Jennifer Probst
Grant had been burned years ago and learned his lesson about mixing business with pleasure. When his wife accused him of having an affair with a student, he lost everything and had to start over. But his want for the hellion in the little black skirt was worth breaking the rules. When the door closed, he taught her the ancient practice of tantric sex. A world where a woman's pleasure is primary. A world where an orgasm doesn't end in seconds but lasts for hours. A world in which he is in control with one goal: to wring as much sexual satisfaction from her as possible.

Their relationship grows but when a female student interested in Grant becomes suspicious, Grant is suddenly faced with an old dilemma. Arianna is confronted by her own choices - she has just received a major promotion and needs to transfer to Chicago. When Grant confesses the truth of their relationship to the student, Arianna realizes she is in love with him. She wants to stay and give their relationship a chance. But Grant is not ready for her to make the choice - he tells her he can't ask her to stay. Devastated, Arianna tells him it was her decision but he refused to let her love him. She walks away and Grant is suddenly afraid he lost the only woman he'd ever love.

The night before Arianna leaves for Chicago, she realizes Grant has never let himself lose control. His practices of yoga completely contradicted his actions. During their lovemaking, he refused to come inside of her, citing his practices of tantra. She creates a plan to force him to confront his emotions.

That night, Grant wakes up and finds Arianna in the doorway with handcuffs. She binds him to the bed and treats him to hours of tantric lovemaking, forcing him to come under her ministrations and let go of all control. During the dawn hours, Grant confesses his love for her and asks her to stay. Fighting back tears, Arianna tells him she has to go, that it's too late. She leaves and Grant is shattered, realizing he had lost her from his own selfishness.

Arianna is shocked when Grant visits her office in Chicago. He confesses his love for her and asks her to ask him to stay. Grant tells her he sold his yoga school and wants to move to Chicago. He wants to settle down and make a life with her. He wants to get married and have a family.

He wants it all.

To My Reader:

I have always been a sucker for a good love story. Let's begin with a modern day warrior working her way up the corporate ladder. She's smart, sexy and knows what she wants. Enter a man who bases his life upon his yoga practices, where control is released in the yoga studio, but tightly commanded in the bedroom and his personal life. Completely different, they embark on a secret affair. Lust turns to love, but choices must be made. Does she give up her entire career for the possibility of love? Does he let go of his past and take a chance by releasing his control on a woman who may leave? Let's find out. I loved writing the Tantric Principle and hope you enjoy it!
