Contemporary BWWM BDSM Erotic Romance (Open Door, Explicit) — consensual power exchange · The Obsidian Club
The Standing Yes
She has spent twenty years drafting instruments designed to bind people against their own future selves. She has never once signed one in her own name.
Junia Ancrum is forty-one, an equity partner in the private-client group of an old Atlanta firm, and the calmest woman in any room in Fulton County. She walks into the Obsidian Club in daylight with a legal pad, doing diligence on a dying client's bequest. She files the memo, closes the file — and then she goes back.
What Lucian Sterne offers is standing permission. She grants it once, aloud, for a stated window, and inside that window he does not ask again. One word from her ends any of it in a second, with no explanation owed. He is a perfumer by trade; he can tell her what her morning was from two feet away, and being read that accurately undoes her far more thoroughly than being touched.
Then, keys in her hand in the parking deck, the lawyer wakes up. If she has already said yes to everything, is any single yes still hers? The only way she knows to test it is to make him ask — and every test succeeds, which proves only that he would have stopped, and tells her nothing at all about the yes she gave in advance.
Three hours at a time, in private. Then eight weeks in ink, in front of a house that keeps records. Then a question no instrument on earth can settle for her.
A complete 168,000-word novel in three acts — one couple, fifty-four chapters, no cliffhanger, and an unambiguous happily-ever-after. Set in the Obsidian Club world and written to stand entirely alone.
Open-door contemporary romance: high heat, no fade to black, and consent that is negotiated, revocable, and on the page. Perfect for fans of Tiffany Reisz and Katee Robert.
