On the day I was married, I promised to love, honor, and obey my husband Stefan Little did I know how literally I would mean obeying. Stefan tells me what to do, and I do it. There are questions asked, but I always submit in the end. It would hurt less if I hadn’t started falling for him. It was supposed to be pretend. But the secrets we now share are too real, and they’re crumbling every piece of who I thought I was. If only Stefan was the man I thought he was. If only I weren’t so powerless. But there’s one thing I have that he wants. My body.  And I’ll do anything it takes to right the wrongs I’ve discovered.

He can still heat me up in minutes. He shows me a world I never knew existed. A world filled with passion and desire and the freedom of sex in all forms.
