The Enticement: The Submissive Series by Tara Sue Me Page A

fabulous!”
    “The post generated a lot of hits?” I guessed.
    “It’s beyond that. It
is
a hit. It’s beat the next-highest story on WNN by nearly double the number of hits in its first twenty-four hours.”
    I was stunned.
My piece?
    “You’re speechless. It’s okay. I was, too. Your idea to play up your husband’s wealth was brilliant. People are all about rich, good-looking Dominants.” She took a hasty breath. “If you keep generating this much interest, we’re going to have to rethink your role. But, hell, we’ll talk about that later. Let’s celebrate! Free tonight?”
    I could hardly keep up with her, the way she bounced from one topic to the next. “What?”
    “Let’s go to a club. Me and you. Tonight!”
    “Tonight?” My mind calculated all the things I’d need to do. “Let me call Nathaniel and arrange for someone to watch the kids. What time and where?”
    We made arrangements for her to come by the penthouse and then I called Nathaniel.
    “I think it’s a great idea for you to go out and celebrate,” he said. “We’ll spend the weekend in the city?”
    I thought that would be perfect and we arranged a time to meet at the apartment so he could watch the kids. I buzzed around the house, packing a few things and walking around in a general daze. I still couldn’t believe my piece had generated so much attention.
    “You’re the real deal, Abby,” Meagan had said before we hung up. “You’re the wife and submissive of one of the wealthiest men in the city. Who just happens to be one of the best-looking, too. Of course, your readers don’t know what he looks like, but still.”
    “And you can write,” Nathaniel had added when we talked. “Don’t sell yourself short or think it’s just because you married me. It’s what you’re writing that people are responding to.”
    Once Elizabeth made it home from preschool, I loaded everyone into the SUV and we took off to our penthouse. After arriving, I sent Nathaniel a text letting him know where we were and he sent one back saying he’d be getting home early.
    I tried to keep my mind occupied. Elizabeth and I baked cookies, and after Henry’s nap, we all went for a walk in Central Park. We would pass people and I’d wonder if they’d read my article. Surely the odds were good at least some of them had. I hid a smile as we left the park; it was like I had a secret.
    Nathaniel was home when we made it back. I gave him a quick kiss before heading to the bathroom to get ready. It’d been a long time since I’d been out to a club. I sorted through my closet,trying to decide what to wear. I finally settled on a short, black, one-sleeved lace dress. I loved the way I looked in it and it would be perfect for clubbing.
    I pulled my hair into a loose knot, put on some makeup, and slipped into my heels. On my way out of the bedroom, I twisted in front of the full-length mirror.
    Not bad,
I thought.
Not bad at all.
    Nathaniel was in the living room with the kids and he gave a low whistle when I entered the room. “You look incredible.”
    “Thank you.” I leaned over and kissed him. “Maybe you and I should hit the town soon.”
    “Mmm.” He ran his hand over my ass. “It’s a date.”
    “You’re missing a sleeve, Mommy,” Elizabeth said.
    “Oh no, baby. It’s supposed to be like that.”
    She wrinkled her nose. “That’s silly.”
    “I suppose it is a little silly.” I gave her a hug and kiss and told her to be good for her father.
    “We’ll be fine,” Nathaniel said, as I told Henry good-bye. “Elizabeth is going to invite Henry and me to a tea party. She promised I could wear her purple boa and that she’d serve the cookies you two made earlier.”
    “Sounds like a great evening.” My phone vibrated with a text. “Meagan’s downstairs. I’ll see you guys later.”
    Meagan was waiting for me in the lobby. I was a bit surprised to see her wearing a trench coat.
    “Is it supposed to rain?” I asked, after she gave
