Contemporary BWWM BDSM Erotic Romance (Open Door, Explicit) — consensual power exchange · The Obsidian Club

Ask Out Loud

She has spent her whole adult life being guessed at. Tonight she says it out loud, in a sentence.

Nyla Aldridge closes a nine-figure campaign on the Thursday. On the Friday she walks into Atlanta's Obsidian Club, crosses the room to Auden Fairbairn — forty-nine, Scottish, a furniture maker who reads where a joint will fail before it splits — and asks for the thing she has never once said out loud: to be told what to do, and then told she did it well.

Auden will not take the ask as given. He makes her negotiate it clause by clause, the way she negotiates money. And the twenty years between them start to feel like the very thing that makes surrender safe — until the night he quietly declines something for her own good, and Nyla hears what she has been doing: handing him the choosing, which is not surrender at all.

So she takes it back. She puts his collar on the table on her own terms, out loud, where her board chair can hear it. And he says no.

A fully explicit, open-door BWWM age-gap BDSM romance about negotiation, praise, and the courage to want in your own name. Perfect for fans of Sara Cate and Tiffany Reisz.
