When Sophie Jameson first became a domme at Club 1740, it was more out of financial necessity than it was for personal pleasure and sexual exploration. But over the years as she rocked her leather corsets and boots while wielding every crop and flogger imaginable, she grew to love the thrill and adulation that her clients brought her. But all along, her path in life and her heart was with a different profession—one she was planning to embark on at the summer’s end.

And then he changed everything. Tall, dark, impossibly built—William was the complete opposite of whatever image a male sub conjured up. After all the subs, Sophie finally felt true lust and desire. Although he was the proud stallion who needed breaking, he became the one to make her break all her rules and let down all her walls.

But it was just supposed to be for that one night, but an accidental encounter days later outside Club 1740’s protected walls had the two seeing each other in a different light—as simply Sophie and William, not Domme and sub. While they should have parted ways, they couldn’t. While they should never have gone back to her place, they did.

And that simple mistake has a serious price for both of them.

Excerpt

My steps faltered as I did a double take at the sight of what appeared to be a shirtless and shoeless Henry Cavill standing before me. The idea wasn’t entirely far-fetched since we’d had a few celebrities in the club. But as one of the strobe lights flickered to illuminate more of his face, I realized he was just a look-alike. His hair was lighter while his eyes were dark brown, rather than blue.

He was impossibly tall, and I couldn’t help staring at his muscular chest with its dusting of dark hair that led to an oh-so-happy trail that ended at the low hanging waistband of his jeans. He had an aura of importance about him, and I couldn’t help wondering who he was in real life.

He held my gaze for a moment before averting his eyes to the ground. “Good evening, Mistress.”

A submissive? I would have never imagined it in a million years. Even though I knew from my own clients that submissive men weren’t simpering pussies, there was something about this man that screamed dominant. Of course, the fact he was shoeless should have given his sub status away, but he wasn’t wearing a collar. A prime piece of submissive man like this usually belonged to someone. And if he didn’t, he would normally be snatched up by a domme practically before he got through the door, least of all across the dance floor. I couldn’t help wondering what his story was. More than anything, I wondered what it might be like to have a session with him. I so rarely took anyone on outside my usual clients. But it might be something fun for my last night in the club.

To test his true submissiveness, I commanded, “Look at me.”

He jerked his gaze from my boots to meet mine. “Are you looking to play tonight?”

“Yes, I am. And if it pleases you, mistress, I would be honored if you chose me.”

His voice. Sweet Jesus, was it was panty-melting. It totally went with his body—strong, firm, and deep. Although he had answered my question well, I still had my doubts. With all the strength I had, I reached out to firmly slap his cheek. The resounding smack echoed around us. A man playing at being a sub would have a distinct reaction. His eyes would darken with the rage seething within him at being treated so disrespectfully.

Oh, but not him. His face remained impassive. Yet at the same time, he shuddered, and his dark eyes flashed with a combustive mix of lust and desire. His reaction caused moisture to pool between my thighs. He reminded me of our horses back on the farm. He was a spirited stallion who needed a firm hand to break him, and damn me to hell if I didn’t want to be the one to do it.

Wanting to build the anticipation, I patted his cheek where I had previously slapped him. “I’ll think about it.”

“Yes, Mistress.” He bowed his head before backing up.

Damn, someone had truly trained him well. I stepped past him to head to the bar. My mouth had run dry, and I desperately needed a drink.

My Review

I really enjoyed this book however for me this was the saddest, most heart wrenching BDSM book I have ever read. Sophie is a working Domme only, she isn’t into the life style. She was approached by a fellow class mate and offered an opportunity she couldn’t pass up. For the last five years she has worked as a Domme to help her family. They have no idea where the money comes from and she always finds a way to say how she got it that’s leads them not to ask questions. She just graduation from college and it is her last day working as a Domme. She has never taken pleasure from her clients only gave them what they needed. Since its her last night she decides to go upstairs to the club area; hang out a little on her last night. She sees a male sub and is suspicious at first they have had male doms pretend to be subs but she realizes that he isn’t playing. He is stunning and she can’t believe he isn’t taken already and then she finds out why. The one girl who hates her used to be his Domme and they broke things off. Sophie decides to give in have one last play with him. There is something different about him and she finds herself breaking all her rules with him. Then she runs into outside of the club and he asks her to have breakfast with him. He wants something with her and would like a chance to see where it could go. However he needs a lifestyle Domme and that isn’t Sophie. After some talking he convinces her to just give them a try that with her he doesn’t need the Domme all the time. Then a few days later she learns that he is her new boss. This changes everything for Sophie. She thought things were difficult before now they are impossible with him as her boss. Despite how William makes her feel she needs for things to be easy right now. She is so scared that she says they can’t try for anything with him as her boss. William wants to find a way for them to continue being together but respects Sophie’s wishes. Will Sophie give into her feelings for William? William continues to find way to show her how it could be with them? Sophie has been through so much in her life already. He father is getting closer to his end every day and she fears that. She has never felt what she feels for William ever before and that scares her too. What if one day she isn’t enough for him; what if he realizes he needs the lifestyle not just what she can do? William hasn’t had the easiest life either. One of the things they bond over is their past. William finds his way under Sophie’s skin without even truly trying. Sophie is worried about her job, what people will think of her dating her boss. Sophie fights her feelings for William the entire book. This book is moving, emotional, steamy, and so much more. I can’t say enough about the book. I don’t want to give away to many spoilers so I will stop now. Lol. I look forward to reading more books by Katie in the future.
