    ~~~ Prologue ~~~

 
 
    Just as Laura Harrington was about
to give up on the failing bookstore she’d inherited and return to the unfulfilling
professional and personal life she had placed on terminal hold, a tall
mysterious woman walked in and consumed her body and soul.
    Laura soon learned there was much more to the relationship
and the woman than she’d imagined. As she became captivated by the knowledge of
what it was she wanted, she also found everything she needed. She struggled to
accept that this woman was very different and expected a level of commitment
far beyond Laura’s previous encounters. Her physical desire still fights a fierce
battle with her emotional acceptance of what she is becoming, but following her
heart would certainly be what’s best for her in the end.
    Fighting to maintain control over both her passion and her
independence teaches Laura to look deeper at who she really is. As she discovers
her true self, she grows more comfortable with her submission and her strength
in all areas of her life. Her confidence and ability to accept what makes her
truly happy has built with each former lesson; and what she learns next will
require the inner strength and commitment she and her Master both know burns
just below the surface.

    From the very first look into those
dark captivating eyes, I’d been intrigued by her quiet strength. Not as much
the physical – obvious in her fit frame and assertive manner – but
by an unspoken command of her surroundings and anyone that dared linger within.
    I wasn’t sure anymore if I pursued her or if she slowly drew
me in by the very nature of her aloofness and my desire to discover what was
behind her intensity. As each layer unfolded, my craving to be with her only
grew stronger. She wasn’t my typical choice of lover. Dinner and going to
movies and sleeping in on Sunday mornings were unusual encounters with her. I
would often wake to find her gone. But there was more to this; more than I want
to admit aloud. Her ways were different and strange to me. I had never been with
anyone that required – or, should I say, demanded – that I behave
in a particular way. I was strongly independent on my own, but when she was
present I bent to her will. It felt bizarre and exciting at the same time. My
mind and body often disagreed on the extent of my willingness to conform, but
she quickly gained the ground needed to bring me back to her desired compliance
… and I let her.
    Her lessons , as
she called them, had been difficult at times, and I resisted some of her
physical and emotional demands – but only to the point she allowed. I
challenged her with my own stubborn will by resisting her command, trying to regain
the control I felt slipping through my fingers; patience still was not one of
my better qualities. Her hand was always swift when I failed to show the proper
restraint. Realizing her limits should have curbed my insolence, but somehow I
managed to dismiss the knowledge of her inevitable response.
    Was it rational for a grown woman to be spanked for her
behavior or for me to allow her to dictate my behavior at all? Could I ever go
