In this story of temptation and total surrender for
readers of Sylvia Day and J. Kenner, a powerful master gives his dream girl a
new beginning in the dungeons of decadent ecstasy.
Running from a
troubled past, Sandra Barry spent years hiding out in New York City’s BDSM
scene, finding satisfaction and even a sense of community as a sub at a large
dungeon. But when a stalker joins the dungeon posing as a Dom, he crosses her
personal boundaries, giving her no choice but to return home to Arizona.
Seeking refuge once again in the kink lifestyle, Sandra meets a sexy new Dom
whose tutelage drives her wild—although there’s something familiar about him
she just can’t place.
As a teenager, Brent Weston
was a nerd. Now he owns the hottest dungeon in Phoenix, enjoying the power and
success he’s always craved. All that’s missing is the right woman to share it
with. Then one day Sandra, his secret high school crush, walks into his club.
She’s just as beautiful as he remembers. She’s also scared as hell. Brent has
been waiting for this moment, and now that Sandra’s in his sights, he’ll do
anything to protect her, pleasure her—and prove that he’s the only master
worthy of her devotion.
“We
have cameras in all of the common areas. There’s no crime in watching¾especially here.”
He looked away, but not before Sandra caught sight of the smoldering heat in
his gaze. She wondered what angle the camera captured and how much of the
specifics he’d seen while she was in the waiting room. . . . She supposed it
didn’t matter. There was no disguising what she’d done. And if it caused the kind
of searing look she’d just seen in Master Brent’s eyes, she was glad he saw
her, and wouldn’t mind showing him again in person.
He
continued, “Here, most things legal and consensual are possible. And there are
those of us who like to watch.” His quick conspiratorial wink surprised a smile
from her before she could stop it.
“Watching
is one of my particular favorites, which is why I designed the basement levels
this way.” He shrugged nonchalantly. “I was lucky the corporation who owned
this site before I bought it had already done quite a bit of blasting and
excavating down into the mountain for whatever project they were planning. It
was still incredibly expensive to clear enough space for four full basement
levels, but I think you’ll see that the final result was more than worth it.”
A
soft chiming had her looking around for the source of the sound.
Master
Brent turned the key in the panel and then slid the key back out, pocketing it
as the doors whooshed open.
Sandra
looked out into dark gloom, and fear snaked along her spine, tensing every
muscle and kicking adrenaline and the urge to flee through her system. She
backed up, hugging the wall of the elevator as if it were a lifeline.
What
had she done? She’d come down here with a man she barely knew, and she was
alone.
Alone,
but not helpless. She raised her chin and mentally firmed her resolve. She
wasn’t helpless. Never again. She’d sworn that to herself when she’d left
Phoenix after high school to take NYU up on their full scholarship.
She
took deep breaths and sighed as the fear slowly receded.
Brent
must have noticed her discomfort because he murmured, “I’m sorry. Let me get
the lights. Basement 4 probably wasn’t the best place for us to start, but I
wanted to show you the setup.”
“It’s
all right. Really,” she mumbled as she heard his footsteps head off to the
right. She forced herself to take a few steps forward to at least look out of
the elevator before the doors closed and sealed her inside. She gripped the
side of the door and peered into the gloom, looking both to her left and right.
A
small row of lights snaked along the floor, like the kind you would find in a
movie theater. Just bright enough to help you find your way.
From
the pattern of the lights, the hallway curved around on both sides, and made a
giant circle.
She
could imagine the floor above with a large circular gallery allowing members to
look down and watch whatever was going on down here on the Big Top of Basement
4.
A
spotlight flared to life to her left and she blinked hard, letting her eyes
adjust. The light centered over a St. Andrew’s cross and a large nearby table
with drawers underneath.
Another
spotlight to the right of the first blinked on and showed a set of hanging
bondage hooks suspended from large beams. Chains and various rings hung from
the beams off to either side of the hooks, just waiting for various types of
play.
More
spotlights flickered on in quick succession. Without leaving the elevator, she
really couldn’t see what each play area held.
She
huffed at her ridiculous fears and forced herself forward, heading to the
right, where Master Brent had gone.
As
she followed the curving path, play areas were sectioned off on her left. As
she advanced they became larger, and the equipment more ominous. She spotted a
spanking horse, a set of stocks like those she imagined would be found in a
medieval town to punish the disobedient and lawbreakers, a few bondage beds and
tables, and even a hot tub with bondage hooks and various large rings suspended
over it.
She’d
seen equipment like this at the other dungeon, but unease pricked along her
spine at the possibilities of what could go on down here. Master Brent had said
most things legal were fair game, but she knew that even legal things could
encompass a very wide range of kink.
The
imagery of being a fairy princess carried off to her doom returned, and she
shivered as she remembered her silent wish for an erotic doom. But oddly, even
with the ominous assortment of equipment down here, she suspected Master Brent
would turn any play erotic and fun.
The
thought stopped her and she turned to face the play area on her left. A
spanking bench was positioned next to what looked suspiciously like a coffin,
and several electronic devices she couldn’t even begin to identify.
Just what went on down here
under the superexclusive Big Top?
