    Everyone liked the beginning of the weekend. The
kids had left so quickly they could have left faint shadows like some
television cartoon. One minute they’d been there, the next gone in a blink of
an eye. Nola Pryce tried not to take it personally. She would have been out of
the door first if something wasn’t holding her back.
    Nola pulled her dark hair over her shoulder and
rubbed the bridge of her nose. How was it possible that the stack of paperwork
felt like it was getting bigger? There had been a faint glimmer of hope that
most of it would have been done before today. Unfortunately, that hadn’t been
the case. Come on, Nola. Alex is waiting
for you . She mentally tried to cheer herself on. At least the thought of
her boyfriend made her smile. Alex Winchester was tall, dark and so handsome
she barely believed he was hers.
    It wasn’t the most conventional of relationships.
Alex co-owned The Black Rose, a fetish and kink club based in New York. With
Nola’s job teaching English, they rarely saw each other. It was all about
grabbing time when they could, which was why this weekend was important.
    There was only one way to describe Alex, besides the
most obvious and that was ‘powerful’. Everything about him, the way he dressed,
the way he walked, made Nola weak in the knees.
    Alex was a Dom, a man who had power down to a fine
art. The only downside was he hadn’t shown her any of the lifestyle he lived
before he met her. They’d talked about it, but Alex had made it clear the
relationship between Dom and sub was built on trust and that took time to
build. They weren’t ready to take the next step. Nola knew that it had
something to do with her. Not that she had the faintest idea how she’d know when
she was ready to take that next step. A part of her was intensely curious, but that
wouldn’t be enough for Alex. She had to be more than curious.
    The classroom door opened and Nola glanced up from
her paperwork. She nearly dropped her pen. There were a lot of people she would
have expected to see before her unannounced guest. Santa Claus, the Easter
Bunny, maybe even Jack Frost. It didn’t escape her notice that all of those
were fictional characters but they still would have made more sense.   Lilith Yee was beautiful. Nola didn’t know
much about her except she co-owned the Black Rose with Alex. A smiled played
across her lips but Nola knew it could vanish in an instant. Lilith’s black
hair fell in waves over her shoulders, the light from the window catching a
reflection off the silver hairclip in her hair. The sound of her black four-inch
heels as she walked towards her echoed off the classroom walls. Nola had always
been a little envious that Lilith could walk in those heels, whereas Nola would
have looked like a newly born deer.  
    A tight black pencil skirt that ended at the knee
and a crisp white blouse meant Lilith was on her way to the club. Nola had seen
the beautiful Asian woman in an outfit much more revealing as her alter ego
Madame Tease. She’d been dressed in a black PVC cat suit teasing a man with a
flogger. The woman knew how to make a lasting impression.
    Nola put her pen down on top of the paperwork in
front of her. In the six weeks since Alex and Nola started dating, Lilith had
said maybe six words to her. They certainly weren’t friends, which didn’t
explain why she was carrying two takeaway cups. The smell of coffee drifted
over and teased her nose. “Is Alex all right?”
    Lilith raised a perfectly plucked eyebrow at Nola’s
question, bemused. “Of course he is. Why wouldn’t he be?”
    “Trying to figure out why you’re here. Don’t get me
wrong,” Nola added hastily, “I don’t make a habit of refusing free coffee. Do
you want to sit down?”
    Lilith didn’t simply walk, she stalked, her
movements fluid and graceful, like a cat. The Dominatrix placed
