“Kneel, fed. The laces are loose and the leather is dirty,” she says, her voice steel mixed with grit. “Fix it.”

A low murmur rises from the crowd as indignation flares hot inside my veins. I look at the Ivanovs and Elvira, noting the calculating gleam in their eyes, before turning my attention to Sofia, who’s still wearing a haughty smile.

“Priggish tin soldier,” she whispers so softly only I can hear it. “I dare you.”

“Lipstick queenpin.” I fight a smile.

I rise to my full height, watching her vexing lips part when she gazes up at me, an intoxicating blend of arousal, humor, and fear on her face.

“Stop wasting time, fed,” she says loudly for the crowd. “Kneel.”

The auditorium quiets.

“All good dogs kneel,” Boris sneers.

“Only if you trained them well and control the leash. Good dogs are hard to come by.” Sofia doesn’t look at him.

“Careful there,” I murmur only for her to hear. “You just called me ‘good.’ I’d think you like me.”

“On the ground, worshipping at my feet, you mean.” Louder, she says, “Hurry up.”

My pulse riots in my ears as my knees hit the floor with a bang. Heat rushes to my face—anger, embarrassment, and something more—as I wipe down her spotless boot with the back of my hand, then tie her shoelaces.

But I don’t let go.

Because I have a death wish. Because the gardenia in Sofia’s fragrance is clearly a neurotoxin, poisoning my synapses one by one.

Because I want to see what she’d do if I did this.

I love books! I have been reading for as long as I can remember. I was the kid with the flashlight under the covers reading until the wee hours. Books were my refuge. I was delighted to discover tree climbing. I would take a book and climb to the top of a Mimosa tree and read for hours...and of course ignore my mother calling for me to do chores. I was committed to reading all of the Nancy Drew stories. Ned was my first book boyfriend. When I was in my early teens I discovered Harlequin romances. I feel in love and it changed my life. I was in love with Love 💕 That’s something for a girl who hadn’t been kissed yet. When I read “he thrust his throbbing member into her womanhood” I was lost to discovering more about this particular brand of romance. But I don’t just enjoy romance reads. My father-in-law introduced me to the high fantasy genre and I loved it. When I bought my first Nook the world of books really took me by surprise. I was enthralled with all the available genres and to my delight I discovered erotica. In most cases, I was with family on visits to bookstores and you don’t peruse those even if they carried them. Oh the shame of it! ;) Thanks to Nancy Drew I still enjoy mysteries along with romance, fantasy, erotica, paranormal, steampunk, thrillers, and well, most anything except a horror of a horror. My favorite might be romance suspense but it’s hard for me to pick just one. I had a serious health issue a few years ago and was forced to quite working after building a career I could be proud of. It was devastating and depressing. I lost myself in books and now spend my days (and nights) reading. I am so appreciative of authors and the wonderful storytelling I’ve found in books. It takes me away from my troubles and introduces me into a world like no other. I love books!
