The Club Sin Series 4-Book Bundle by Stacey Kennedy

the scene if he thinks he can push you past your worry, or he’ll go on to something else and maybe have you add it to your hard limits.”
    Easy enough, but…“Will it make him angry if I use the safe word?”
    Cora shook her head, dropping the hair from her finger. “That’s why the safe word exists. To keep you safe. Club Sin is big on having a safe word, and if a Dom ignored it, he’d get the boot, no questions asked. But Dmitri will read your clues, and I doubt you’ll even think of pulling a safe word. He’ll be careful and won’t take you so far that you’d even consider it.”
    While that relieved Presley—it meant she wouldn’t get in over her head—she wasn’t settled. Giving up complete control to someone else was scary, no two ways about it, and once she filled out the limits section of her agreement tonight, she’d have no say in what he did to her. “What if I want him to do more of something? Can I just tell him?”
    “Ah, no.” Cora snickered. “Never ask for anything, because you won’t get what you want, and he’ll punish you for topping from the bottom.” At Presley’s obvious confusion, Cora added, “Which means you’re giving him orders while pretending to be the submissive.”
    Right. Dmitri had said to her, “At Club Sin, you are the submissive and are treated as such.” Presley concluded that bossing
him
around wouldn’t be a smart move on her part and instantly pushed the thought from her mind. She hesitated a moment, then got right to the deeper concerns: the insecurities that had been plaguing her all day. “What if I get nervous?”
    “He’ll comfort you.”
    Okay, terrific, however…“How will he know what I want and don’t want?”
    Cora shifted on the couch, bringing her feet up and wrapping her arms around her knees. “You’ll set out your limits, and he won’t overstep them. Besides, Dmitri is an amazing Dom—he’s been living the lifestyle a long time—and he’ll know what you need in a scene.”
    Good and all, but her mind still worked a mile a minute, and worries made her voice sound clipped. “What if I change my mind? Like I thought I wanted something but I decide I don’t like it.”
    Cora’s brows drew together as she rested her chin on her knee. “Use your safe word.”
    Presley’s muscles tensed as thoughts of her under Dmitri’s command overwhelmed her. Hearing of his experience didn’t help much, considering that not only would this be her first scene, but she’d slept only with Steven. Compared to Dmitri, she lacked any skill at all, or so she assumed. “What if I’m not enough for him? Or I’m doing it all wrong?”
    “Deep breaths, girl, you’re overthinking this.” Cora took her hand and squeezed. “Dmitriwill tell you what he expects from you. He’ll lay it all out, so stop stressing.” Her head tilted and her expression softened. “He’s one of the best Doms I know. You’re lucky to get not only one night with him, but more, until he thinks you’re trained. There is no one better, honestly.”
    Presley wished she could switch off her head and listen to what her body told her, but an ugly thought grating her all day had spilled from her lips before she could stop herself. “What if he doesn’t like me as a submissive? Like I’m not good at it?”
    Cora’s eyes crinkled. “You’re sexy as hell, Presley. What won’t he like?”
    “I don’t know.” She hated to admit this, since she sounded so damn insecure—leftovers from Steven’s betrayal, she was sure—but nonetheless it was something she couldn’t ignore. With the comfort of her friend, she spelled out the truth. “What if he gets me into the scene and realizes I’m boring?”
    “Honey…” Cora gave a shrewd grin. “A D/s relationship is intense. Believe me, Dmitri won’t allow for you to be boring.”
    Presley could only hope she didn’t take the award for the worst submissive of all time. Before she could spit out another round of questions,
