Erotic Contemporary Romance - Short Story

 

Present Day

 

After fainting at lunch, Dr Lara Brunner’s best friend Sam basically blackmails her into taking a weekend off.  If the university found out that their organic chemistry professor had a habit of fainting, Lara’s bid for tenure would be over in a minute.  If spending the weekend at Maison Domine, the BDSM club that Sam visits, is what it takes to keep her quiet, Lara is willing to go.  Besides, this will give Lara the chance to explore the lifestyle that so intrigues her.

 

Of course, she hadn’t expected that the man chosen to train her would be Jaxon Greene.  A best-selling author and screenwriter who has recently started teaching at the university, Lara has had several run-ins with the man, and none of them good.  She can’t deny that he turns her on, and that he has starred in more than one of her submissive fantasies, but a man used to Hollywood starlets is not going to be turned on by a zaftig science geek like Lara.  But when he makes it clear that he has every intention of being her trainer, Lara is willing to do whatever he wishes.

 

An intense, career-driven woman, Lara learns what it’s like to give up the control she is known for at MAISON DOMINE.  She’s been so focused on reaching the next goal that her personal life is non-existent, and the few men she’s been with approach sex like a scientific experiment.  She’s curious about submission, but hadn’t thought she’d be able to go through with it – until Jaxon.  A bad experience in his past has left Jaxon with no desire to keep a submissive, but training a newbie is something he enjoys.  He knows immediately that Lara will be a challenge in more ways than one, and for the first time in years, he wants to get to know Lara as a woman, not just a submissive.

 

The relationship between them is incredibly hot, and quickly goes beyond casual, but there are some obstacles in their path.  An entertaining and erotic short story, make time for a visit to MAISON DOMINE.
