Synopsis
The stunning
conclusion to the New York Times
Bestseller.
There’s one,
unbreakable rule in the game.
Stay collected. Compartmentalize.
Think your next move through. Never let your heart dictate your tactics.
The heart is
impulsive.
The heart makes
bad decisions.
The heart doesn’t
see the long game.
Because the heart
may have decided to get Adam back, but when the endgame comes, the heart’s
going to be the first thing to break.
Excerpt
Adam pulled me to
the next door to the left. It opened into a small theater with about two dozen
red velvet seats with lights at the bases.
“There was this guy in Marine Park
who collected vintage pornography. When he died, one of the clubs uptown took
it and preserved it. When all the clubs merged, they reels moved here.”
“We’re going to watch porn
together?”
He guided me down an aisle.
“Yes.”
“How adventurous of us.” I smiled
at him, flirting.
He smiled back a little, but was reserved in
his enthusiasm. We sat in the center.
“Now I’m sorry I wore pants,”
I said.
The lights dimmed to black. I
took his hand, and he paused before dropping our entwined fingers in his lap.
“I’m trying to illustrate
something. I want to talk. So I’m glad you wore pants.”
The bullseye countdown
appeared. Adam leaned his head back, closed his eyes, and exhaled. They went
back to the screen as if all necessary strength had been gathered.
She’s
blindfolded, arms tied above her. He’s lashing her.
“These are from the late
sixties,” he said as the picture flickered. There was no sound. “The stuff here
is very real. There’s no retouching. It’s 16mm, so there’s none of the porny
quality of video.”
He’s wrapping her
tits in black tape.
“I see,” I said.
He was right. The frame was
raw. The beauty of her submission wasn’t on the film. I didn’t feel as though I
was watching something. I felt as though I was witnessing something.
He’s
clamping her nipples until they’re elongated meat.
“This is called tit torture,”
he said matter-of-factly. “Every step of this was worked out beforehand. You’re
not seeing the dozen things he’s not doing.” He twisted in his seat to face me.
He was backlit, so I couldn’t see his expression. “Give me an adjective. What
do you think of it?”
“Is this your thing?”
“Answer me first.”
I loved him. I wanted him. I’d
get on my knees and submit to him.
“It’s gruesome.”
“It’s not my thing.” He sat
back and faced the screen. The light flickered on his face. “There’s so much
more though.”
He’s putting the
business end of a hairbrush in her anus.
I’ve never seen
skin that shade of purple.
What is she
eating?
In all of them, the submissive
may have cried or screamed, but she always came back for more. She kissed the
Dominant’s hand or looked at him admiringly. Her lips did a dance of gratitude.
Thank you.
Ten minutes in, I couldn’t hold
my questions anymore. “Why are you showing me this? You don’t want to wrap me
in duct tape.”
“Someone might. I want you to
know what it looks like first.”
“Adam Steinbeck!” I stood and
put my fists on my hips. “You fucking shit!”
He crossed his legs, shrugging
as if it wasn’t his fault. He just worked here. “What?”
“You’re trying to scare me.”
“I’m trying to inform you.”
“To hell with this. I’m going
out there right now and getting someone to fuck me with a wooden spoon.”
I stomped down the aisle. He grabbed
my arm. I spun around to face him. Behind him, a woman was getting choked, and
every time she breathed, the ecstasy on her face was unmistakable.
“Let go of me,” I growled.
“Look at it. You weren’t meant
for this.”
But he was? But Serena was?
Was I too good? Too weak? Too strong? None of that mattered.
“You love me. Say it, Adam.”
“I’m keeping the love I have
left.”
“Why can’t you love a
submissive?”
“I don’t know.”
“You can’t love weakness?” I
asked.
“I said I don’t know.”
“You’re unworthy of a woman
who would kneel for you?”
“What do you want out of me?”
He was hurting me. I jerked my
arm away, and he let go.
“I want you to leave me for a
reason. A real reason. I left you because I was unhappy. I thought we were
incompatible. You’re leaving me because you asked me to submit to you and I
love it. You’re leaving me because you love me a little but not enough. What is
all that? It’s not a reason.”
“I’m protecting you!”
“You’re protecting you.”
About the
Author
CD Reiss is a New York Times

fine print. Her lawyer is working it out with God but in the meantime, if you
call and she doesn't pick up she's at the well hauling buckets.
Born in New York City, she moved to Hollywood, California to get her
master's degree in screenwriting from USC. In case you want to know, that went
nowhere but it did give her a big enough ego to write novels.
She's frequently referred to as the Shakespeare of Smut which is
flattering but hasn't ever gotten her out of chopping that cord of wood.
If you meet her in person, you should call her Christine.
