“Of that club? No. It’s abandoned.”

“You mean there are others like it?”

The look on her face mirrored the shock in her voice. Emma hadn’t been ready for this conversation, but it was too late to turn back now.

“Yes. There are BDSM clubs all over the world.”

“Areyoua member of one of them?”

“Yes, I am.”

ChapterEight

Emma

Blade’s confession sent the shock, curiosity, and arousal swirling inside me soaring to a whole new level. Like New Yorkers packing the subway, questions crowded my brain.

I’d discovered the BDSM lifestyle at sixteen when all the girls were going gaga over a taboo, trending book. Not wanting to be left out, I secretly downloaded it. After devouring it multiple times, I covertly filled my e-reader with every BDSM book I could find.

I still did, well, before my car got sucked away.

Though I’d never engaged in any kind of kinky sex, or actually known anyone who did, I constantly fantasized about being commanded by a strict, unrelenting Master.

“I can tell by your silence, I’ve shocked you. Don’t worry, I won’t tie you up unless you beg me to.” Blade smirked.

“I’m not shocked. Well, okay, maybe a little. But only because I’ve never met anyone in the lifestyle before. What’s it like…I mean, what do you do?”

“You want to know whatIlike?”

Though I hadn’t meant the question to come out like it had, I nodded. I was dying to know what kind of kinky things turned Blade on.

“It depends on what the submissive needs.”

“Wait, I’m confused. You’re a Dominant, right?” He smiled and nodded. “So why worry what the submissive needs? You’re the one in charge…the one giving all the orders. She simply has to do what you tell her to.”

“Who told you that?”

“Nobody. I’ve just read about it.”

“Okay, first…forget everything you’ve ever read.”

“You mean it’s not like in the books?”

“Not even close,” he replied. “What’s your definition of BDSM?”

“Kinky sex.”

“That’s a common misconception, but in reality, sex has nothing to do with the lifestyle.”

“I know you told me to forget everything I’ve read, but why are all the stories full of kinky sex?”

“Because a lot of Doms and subs incorporate sex into their BDSM relationship, but it’s not the basis of the lifestyle. Have any of the stories you’ve read mentioned the term power exchange?”

“Some, but I don’t really know what it means.”

“Since it looks like we’re gonna be stuck in traffic a while, I’d be happy to explain it to you, if you’d like.”

“I would, very much.”
