| Teague had promised Jakarta a Christmas she would never forget and takes her to the Castle Phantasie. Jakarta is delighted with the restored German castle. The twenty-foot candlelit tree that dominates the hotel lobby and the deluxe suite at the top of one of the castle's towers are perfect but their first evening becomes bittersweet when Jakarta refuses Teague's marriage proposal, again.
They had met two years earlier when Jakarta hired Teague handle her divorce from her abusive husband. Teague had been there for Jakarta throughout her divorce offering both his protection and support. After the divorce, Teague's support never wavered, only changed to help Jakarta grow emotionally stronger and independent. Although Teague knew Jakarta loved him, he begins to believe she will never trust him or their future together. For Teague it is not enough for Jakarta to say to words, she needs to demonstrate that trust by submitting to an evening of sexual dominance. But can Jakarta put aside her fears and give herself completely over to Teague's hands? Day 8 in Ellora's Cave 12 days of Christmas quickies, A Christmas Phantasie is a fantastic story about trust. The tale is very hot and spicy with an emotional intensity that helps the erotic scenes to stand out. Teague and Jakarta are a wonderful, well-matched couple. The story is a reminder that love and trust is about more than saying the words. A splendid Christmas story of hope, trust and love.
