Jenna uses The Aerie to exorcize some old trauma, but when the sexy blond Dom, Kai Johanssen, cuddles her after a scene, he breaks through her defenses in a way neither was expecting. She wants him to teach her how to submit sexually without pain, but can she keep the super-sexy surgeon from breaking her heart?

Kai needs to have a sub with him in order to hang with his friends, but when he gives in to the desire to play with Goth-girl Jenna, he discovers she's different. He's entranced by Jenna's courage and flawless skin, but his usual casual way of playing with subs doesn't feel right with her. The sex is the best he's had, but he wants more than the occasional encounter at the club. He wants to date her...only neither of them knows what the protocol is for romance.

Warning: This novella contains smoking-hot role play, sexy costumes, and BDSM equipment, but at its heart, it's an old-fashioned love story. Approximately 33,000 words.
