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

Load-Bearing

She has spent thirty-six years proving nothing she builds will ever fail. She never once tested whether she could stop holding herself up.

Simone Adeyemi is the structural engineer everyone leans on — the reliable eldest daughter, the load-bearing lead on every project, the woman who has never let a single soul see her need a thing. So when she books one anonymous session at The Cinch, a discreet rope studio, she calls it research. A controlled experiment. A fear to conquer.

Then Elliot Marsh wraps the first line of jute across her collarbones, reads the exact moment her control breaks, and offers to take the weight instead of making her carry it — and the calm Simone has never felt at her drafting table floods in like relief she didn't know she was starving for.

Terrified that needing this makes her structurally unsound, she safewords out mid-tie and walks. But a white-knuckled week teaches her that her own grip is the cage, not the rope. To breathe again, she'll have to return and say the one thing engineers never say out loud: catch me.

A steamy, open-door BWWM rope-and-surrender novella about trust, consent, and the freely given yes. Perfect for fans of Katee Robert and Talia Hibbert.
