The rules are simple at Club Shadows:
Yes means yes, no means no, panties are optional, and bad little submissives are punished.
I’ve been a member of the club for over a year now. More people have seen me naked than I can count. Everyone has watched me completely fall apart on stage, but they don’t know my secret.
Nobody does.
For a year, I’ve done a great job keeping my head and my heart separate from the club. I’ve been able to play the role of bad girl without actually committing to the reputation, but when Aaron walks through the doors of Club Shadows, everything changes for me.
He’s not just tall, dark, and handsome.
He’s my brother’s best friend, and he knows my secret.
I don’t know how he found me here, but this is going to change everything.
It’s going to change my entire world.
And I don’t know if I’m ready for the Daddy Dom.
Chapter One
Mallory
Aaron Winters has no place in this club.
My eyes narrow as I hone in on him watching me. He smirks. Yeah, he sees me. He knows that I’ve caught him leering at me.
He knows that I’m onto him.
A sharp whack on my bottom draws me back into reality, and I’m forced to stop looking at the handsome man who doesn’t belong.
“Pay attention, subbie,” the man behind me says.
“Yes, sir,” I manage to say through the pain, and then I close my eyes. I don’t want Aaron to see me here like this. This is my place: my private haven. This is the place I come to get away from people like him. This is the place I come to explore my own budding sexuality. This is the place where I get to be free from everything else that holds me back.
Here I’m not Miss Franklin: third grade teacher.
Here I’m not anyone’s sister or friend.
Here I’m just a willing submissive who sometimes likes to have her ass beat by the other people who play here.
Yeah, that’s me.
But Aaron?
