Megan thinks she knows
all about the BDSM lifestyle. Her best friend is active in it and she is an
erotic romance author who writes about the lifestyle. So when Megan decides to
explore it first hand, she learns quickly that everything she thought she knew,
she didn’t.
Greg isn’t your
typical Dom. He’s an artist and his life is anything but organized. He likes
Megan from the start. She’s honest and he sees something in her. The more time
he spends with her, the more he finds himself acting in ways he never has
before. He decides to see if she might feel the same way, but the more he
pushes to get her to open up, the more it seems she’s stepping away.
Can Megan sort out her
feelings before it’s too late?
Excerpt:
Turning off the car,
Megan grabbed her purse. She quickly checked her makeup and hair in the
rearview mirror. It was now or never. Taking a deep breath, she climbed out of
her car and headed for the front door. The house was gorgeous and the yard was
well taken care of. Once she made it up the stone walkway, she saw that the
door was ajar. Strange.
She pushed it open and
called out and was greeted by a deep voice that echoed from somewhere in the
back. He directed her to go to his study which she would find to her left.
Well, she had made it
this far, and he knew she was here—there was no turning back now. Once again
she took a deep breath, and she made her way to his study. The door was closed
when she found it, so once inside the room she made sure to shut it back.
Megan couldn’t believe
the sight of his office. It was in complete disarray. Not one bit of
organization. There were half started paintings on canvases scattered here and
there, and piles of paper stacked on the bookshelves and desk. Perhaps it was
best to get out of there. She couldn’t understand why Dawn had recommended him.
This was not what she’d expected at all.
Right as she was about
to leave she heard the doorknob jiggle. Her eyes widened as she wondered what
to do next. Should she meet him on her knees? Or simply take a seat in a chair
since this was only an interview? She opted for the chair and sat just as he
walked in.
It took every ounce of
Megan’s self-control not to let her mouth drop open when she saw the man who
presented himself in front of her. Once again, this was not what she had
expected. In strutted a man in loose, ripped jeans and a baggy t-shirt. He had
sandy brown hair that was long and tied back in a ponytail. His eyes were
crystal blue. A gorgeous smile was plastered on his face as he took a seat
directly in front of her on a bar stool.
“You must be Megan,”
he said.
“I am.” She had no
idea how to address him or what to say.
“I apologize for keeping
you waiting.” He reached over and took a piece of paper from the pile on his
desk. “I looked over your application, and I see that you only have a little
experience in this lifestyle. Have you ever had a Master?”
“No,” she responded.
Greg’s eyes drifted up
and down her body. If she wasn’t feeling self-conscious before, she definitely
was now.
“Is something wrong?”
he asked.
“No, why?”
“You have to be honest
with me or else I won’t even consider you. Trust is very important in a
relationship such as you’re wanting to enter into.”
Taking a deep breath,
she blurted out, “To be frank, you’re not what I was expecting.”
He chuckled.
“Continue.”
“You’re so laid back,
your office is not organized, and well, as I said, you are not what I was at
all expecting.”
“Tell me then, what
were you expecting?”
“A
businessman with a powerful job.”

Happy Release Day!! Great scene! I love how Megan's misconception is seen. I think this is always the misconception of a Dom. We want them to be the same as what we read.
