Gabe Ellis knew some people were “like that,” but it never occurred to him those people might include his boyfriend, Tom Hampton. Now Gabe has to deal with the idea his gorgeous, successful lover enjoys hurting people -- and being hurt -- for fun. Worse, Gabe has to come to terms with the fact that so does he.<br><br>Tom was once known in the local BDSM scene as a ruthless Dom, but he left the scene when he realized he’d rather have a vanilla partner than one who can’t deal with the fact that he’s a switch. Those old feelings come crashing back in, however, when Gabe confesses to darker desires.<br><br>Gabe seems made for Tom, a switch who flips between stern Dom and sweetheart sub. But not everything goes smoothly as they explore their new dynamic. Will Gabe embrace the lifestyle, or ask for it all to stop?

Just Say the Word

“True,” Gabe said, his eyebrows going up. “Sir.” That was spoken with extreme gentleness, at complete odds with the sting along Tom’s ass. “Iknow who you are. I’m wondering, however, if you do. Who are you?” And he punctuated that with another snap of the strap, along Tom’s thigh, and that was, God, that was breathtakingly worse, against the tight muscle.


Tom hissed and squirmed a little. “I’m Tom Hampton,” he tried, through gritted teeth. “Sir.”


“Hmm,” Gabe said, unimpressed. “It’s a good enough name, I suppose. Gives you something to sign at the bottom of a contract. Who are you, under that, Tom Hampton? Who are you, really?” His hands went to Tom’s belt, unfastened it. Unzipped Tom’s pants and carefully pushed them down around his thighs.

Oh, this was going to hurt, because he still had no idea what Gabe was pushing for. “Sir, I don’t…I’m a lawyer?”
