Harlow Vance has spent twenty four years feeling invisible. Her younger brother is the success story, the one her father brags about, the one who can do no wrong. Desperate to feel something, to feel wanted, she decides to lose her virginity. Not to some boy her age who will fumble and forget her by morning, but to a man. A dominant she has been chatting with online for weeks, someone who calls her a brat and makes her pulse race with every message. She agrees to meet him at Radiant, an exclusive BDSM club in Pittsburgh. She uses a fake name. She plans for one night, nothing more. But when the door opens, it is not a stranger staring down at her. It is Kael Hawthorne. Her father's best friend. Her father's business partner. The man she has been secretly aching for since she was old enough to notice the way his gaze lingered on her a moment too long. Kael should push her away. He should call Julian and tell him his daughter is in a place she does not belong. Instead, he pulls her into the room and shuts the door. But secrets have a way of slithering out. And when Julian walks into Radiant and finds his daughter on her knees for his best friend, everything Harlow has built with Kael threatens to shatter. What do you think will happen? Read to find out!

The vanilla and leather hit my nose the second I stepped through the black glass doors of Ember. Pittsburgh’s most exclusive BDSM club hummed around me, all red velvet and dim light and bodies pressed together in ways that made my cheeks burn. Half naked women twisted around silver poles near the back. A couple on a black suede couch traded spit like it was going out of style. I pulled down my skirt and kept walking. Not many newbies like me came here. Except my best friend Sage, who was probably already upstairs with her professor. But I was only here for one thing tonight anyway. To lose my virginity. “Can I help you?” A waiter with honey brown eyes appeared at my elbow. “You look lost.” My face went hot. “I’m new here.” He chuckled. “I can see that. Anything I can help you find?” “The owner.” His eyes went wide. “The owner?” “Yes.” I scanned the crowd, heart hammering. “I have an arrangement with him tonight.” “Are you Miss Raquelle Chambers?” “Yes.” No. That was just the fake name I had been using for weeks with the man on the other end of those messages. The one who called me a brat and made me press my thighs together at three in the morning. I had not told him my real name. He had not asked. This was a one time thing. Lose my virginity. Thank the man for his time. Get the hell out. “Right this way.” The waiter set down his tray and led me past the bar, past the VIP sections where men in suits watched me with hungry eyes. I pulled my skirt down again. Up a set of stairs, past private rooms with numbers in gold, until we stopped in front of a large black door with the number four in the center. The waiter knocked twice. “Come in,” a voice called from inside. He gave me a small smile and the key, then disappeared down the hall. I gnawed on my cheek and stepped closer to the door. A group of women in lace stumbled out of the room next to me, giggling. “Come on, Harlow,” I whispered. “One night.” I pushed the key into the knob. The door swung open before I could turn it. Kael Hawthorne stared down at me through wide eyes. Kael Hawthorne was a lot of things. The owner of the most popular BDSM club in the city. The sexiest fifty six year old man I had ever laid eyes on. A dominant playboy who made women beg. And worst of all, my father’s best friend. Tonight I was supposed to lose my virginity to him. “Harlow.” His voice was low, rough. His gaze moved down my body. From my lips to my chest to my hips. He stayed there a moment too long, then dragged his eyes back to my face. “What are you doing here?” “You’re the owner?” My heart pounded so hard I thought he could hear it. “One of them.” He glanced down the hall. The women from earlier waved at him. I glared at their retreating backs, jealousy burning in my chest like a stupid child. He looked back at me. “You did not answer my question.” This was it. Time to come clean. Tell him I was the one who had been chatting with him online. The one who had put up such a bratty front for three weeks. The one who had lied about knowing anything about BDSM. “Nothing,” I said instead. Confusion washed over his face. Then his eyes turned dark. “Do not tell me you are the woman I have been speaking with online.” I pursed my lips and shifted from foot to foot. He stepped closer. Wrapped one large hand around the front of my throat. Not tight, just there. A warning. “You will answer me, Harlow.” “And if I do not?” I did not know what I was getting myself into. But I had come here for a reason. I was not backing away. My friends always talked about how good it felt. My vibrator was not doing it for me anymore. Kael chuckled darkly and shook his head. “Fuck. I am going to get myself into so much trouble because of you.” Instead of pushing me away, he pulled me into the room, shut the door, and pressed my chest flush against it. I inhaled sharply. His body pressed against my back. His belt buckle dug into my lower spine. “You should not be in a club like this,” he said. “You should not stare at me every chance you get.” He tensed behind me. His fingers strummed against my throat. It was true. The past few weeks, I had caught him looking at me during dinner with my father. It was not one of those innocent looks either. It was the kind of look that said he knew exactly what he wanted to do to me. “Your father can never know,” he growled into my ear. My breath hitched. “What happens if I tell him?” Instead of answering, he pulled me off the door and thrust me onto the large black bed in the center of the room. I landed on my back, nipples pressing hard against my lace bra. He stalked toward me, pulling off his belt. “Take off your clothes.” I pressed my thighs together. This was it. Tonight I would lose my virginity to my father’s best friend. “Take them off,” he said, voice harsher. “Now.” --- Kael I watched her scramble to obey. Harlow pulled off her shirt, shimmied out of her skirt, until she sat in nothing but a skimpy lingerie set. Her curves spilled over the lace. Her fair skin looked almost translucent under the dim light. Freckles scattered across her chest like someone had painted them there on purpose. I had wanted her for years. Every Christmas party. Every family dinner. Every time she walked into a room wearing something that made my mouth water. I had looked. I had imagined. I had fucked other women while pretending they were her. And now she was here. In my club. On my bed. Looking up at me with those big eyes that said she had no idea what she had walked into. I let my shirt fall off my shoulders. Then my pants. My briefs. My hard cock hung between my legs, and I watched her eyes go wide. Good. She should be nervous. She should be terrified. Because I was not going to let her leave. “You have no idea what you have done,” I said, crawling onto the bed and pushing her back against the mattress. “Coming here. Lying to me. Pretending to be someone you are not.” She opened her mouth to speak. I shoved two fingers between her lips. “Shut up.” I pushed my fingers deeper, watching spit roll down her chin. “You wanted to play games with me. Fine. We will play.” Her pussy was already wet. I could smell it. I could feel it through her thin thong. I pulled my fingers out of her mouth and shoved them between her legs, rubbing her through the lace. She whimpered. “You are going to regret every bratty message you sent me,” I said, pushing her underwear aside and sinking one finger inside her. She was tight. So tight. “By the time I am done with you, you will be begging me to stop. And I will not.” “I do not beg,” she gasped. I pushed another finger inside her. “We will see about that.” Her legs spread wider. Her hips lifted off the bed. She was already close, already trembling, already falling apart on my fingers. A virgin. I could feel it in the way her body clenched around me, uncertain and desperate all at once. I did not know yet. But I would. And when I did, everything would change.HARLOW'S POV I should not have sent the picture.But I was bored. And lonely. And Kael had been gone for hours, trapped in meetings with my father and the other executives. The penthouse felt empty without him. Too big. Too quiet.So I stripped off his shirt that I had been wearing. I posed in front of the bedroom mirror. One hand over my breast. The other holding my phone. I took the picture and looked at it. My curves spilling over my arm. My fair skin glowing in the afternoon light. The collar not around my neck yet, but soon.I typed out a message.Me: Bet you cannot guess what I am doing without your permission.I hit send before I could change my mind.Then I waited.One minute. Two. Five. Nothing.I scowled at my phone. He was probably in a meeting. Probably sitting across from my father, pretending to care about quarterly reports. The thought made me smile. He would have to keep a straight face while reading my message.My phone buzzed.Kael: Where are you?Me: Why do you not
HARLOW'S POV The Grindstone was packed for a Thursday afternoon.I squeezed into the corner booth beside Sage, who immediately grabbed my left hand and stared at my bare ring finger."You are not engaged," she said."I never said I was.""Then why did you drag us here with such urgency?"I pulled out the contract from my bag. The signed copy. Kael's name was on every page. I had spent an hour last night with a white out pen, covering his name wherever it appeared. It looked messy. Obvious. But it was the best I could do."I need you to look at this," I said to Sage.She took the contract and flipped through it. Iris leaned over her shoulder. Soleil sipped her tea and watched."This is a BDSM contract," Sage said."Yes.""With Kael Hawthorne?""His name is whited out."Sage held the paper up to the light. "I can still read it.""Then do not look so closely."Iris grabbed the contract from Sage. "Full time submissive? Harlow, this says you have to live with him.""I know.""And let him
HARLOW'S POV The contract sat on the coffee table between us.Kael had printed a fresh copy. No white out. No missing pages. Every clause visible in black ink on white paper. I had read it three times. The words full time submissive no longer looked scary. They looked like a promise."Are you sure?" he asked."I have never been more sure of anything."He handed me a pen. I signed my name on the last page. Harlow Vance. Looping letters. Firm pressure. When I finished, he signed beside me. Kael Hawthorne. His handwriting was sharp and controlled."It is done," he said."It is done."He set the contract on the side table and pulled me onto his lap. His arms wrapped around my waist. His chin rested on my shoulder."You live here now," he said."I know.""Your things will arrive tomorrow. I hired movers.""You hired movers without asking me?""Yes."I should have been annoyed. Instead, I felt warm. Cared for. Like someone had finally decided to take the weight off my shoulders."What abou
Harlow's POV Kael did not take me home after the office.He took me to Ember.The club was empty during the day. No music. No bodies. Just black glass and red velvet and the smell of cleaning solution. His footsteps echoed off the walls as he led me to a private room.A room I had never seen before. Smaller than the others. With a large mirror on one wall and a single chair in the center."Sit," he said.I sat. The chair was cold against my legs. Kael stood in front of me, arms crossed, his dark eyes unreadable."You have been saying things about yourself," he said. "Things that are not true.""I do not know what you mean.""You called yourself stupid. You said you were not good enough. You told me you did not deserve me."My cheeks burned. "I was upset.""You were honest." He walked to the mirror and tapped the glass. "Stand up. Come here."I stood. Walked to the mirror. Stood beside him."Look at yourself," he said.I looked. My reflection stared back. Curves and freckles and tired
