Play Pretend
By Emily Alter
Kara only had one rule: no more Dommes.
Kara
When I put an ocean between my ex and me, I made myself a promise. No getting closer to Dommes again. Ever. There was no way I’d put myself back in the same situation.
So of course my new boss is the epitome of one, and of course I find that out when I was having a panic attack in a BDSM club. I should’ve run away then, but… I couldn’t, not when I’d just gotten a glimpse of what my life could be.
Mónica
I liked to keep my life as headache-free as possible. Which wasn’t always easy when working in a male-dominated field with my four brothers. Still, dealing with my brothers was nothing in comparison to having to talk my new secretary through a panic attack in the BDSM club I helped fund.
I tried to reason, to negotiate how to keep my two worlds separate—the way I liked them. The last thing I’d ever do was put her in a situation where she was even more vulnerable but… I was going to become the cliché boss who fell for her secretary.
