Kneeling before him, she found her freedom
Blurb
Erin’s life has crumbled. Not only has her fiancé run off with another woman, she realizes their entire relationship was a joke. After some soul-searching, and Googling, she jumps head first into a world that only existed in her darkest fantasies.
Bradley Sorenson has come to terms
that he will never have a lasting relationship with a submissive. After all, no woman could see to his darker
needs in the playroom and continue his brand of power exchange outside of
it. But when Erin shows up at his BDSM
club, looking for answers to questions he’s sure she doesn’t even understand,
his resolve begins to weaken.
Bradley opens the door to this new
world and escorts Erin inside, promising to show her everything she wants to
see and more. But just as she begins to find contentment in her true self, she
receives a letter that starts a chain of blackmail that could ultimately end
her new relationship. Between the blackmail and her new self-awareness, Erin
must fight the urge to creep back into the cage she’s so used to hiding in, and
work to liberate her heart.
Excerpt
He had a point, but it wasn't the same thing. It
wasn’t that he wouldn’t help, it was that he couldn’t. They were a temporary
thing, not long term. He couldn't fix that.
“You offered to help, Sir.” She sighed. This was not
like her dreams. there was no fondling, or groping. Just more talking!
“So the next time you start to feel overwhelmed with
fear, or sadness, what should you do?”
The discussion over one little reaction seemed so
disproportional. “Tell you about it.”
“Yes. And why?”
Couldn’t he just start spanking her now? It had to
hurt less than this continual investigation into her psyche. “Because my
worries aren’t just mine anymore.”
“That’s right.” His fingers stroked the back of her
thighs. “When you keep your worries from me, you tell me you don’t trust me to
take care of you. You show disrespect to me by trying to taking care of it
yourself. You show me that you aren’t submitting to my rule, my authority and
protection.” Well damn. He had a good
point there. She had done just that.
Suddenly, she didn’t feel so confident that the rest of the punishment was
going to go well. A sour feeling began to build in her chest. “And leaving the room when you were told not
to unless you had permission. What do you think that said?”
“That I don’t respect your rules.” She sniffled. Hanging over his lap was making her nose
drip. Again, less sexy than previously
thought.
“Did you agree to submit to my rules when you came
home with me last night?” The spoon ran over her thighs and she nodded. “I
can’t hear your head shake.” His voice darkened.
“Yes, I did, Sir.”
“Good girl.” Those two words. His approval sent a warm tingle through her
despite the cool fear of having the spoon dangerously close to her sit spot.
Whack! She jumped, flailing her arms out to the side,
unprepared for the first bite of the spoon. She hadn’t been ready! His hold
tightened around her waist, and he hoisted her further onto his lap, elevating
his knee until her ass was higher in the air and her toes didn’t touch the
ground at all.
