Lot Nine

Samantha is twenty-seven, a freelance designer who works until midnight and dates men her mother would adore. There’s Ryan, a kind, handsome doctor who remembers her birthday. The trouble is that when she thinks about sex, she isn’t thinking about Ryan.

One sleepless night of browsing leads her to the Velvet Labyrinth, an exclusive private club where desire comes with rules, safewords and rings that say yes in advance. On Newcomers’ Night she meets the eyes of a domme with a gleam of pure mischief. She looks away first. Her body doesn’t get the message.

Marissa Noire is thirty-four, a litigator who wins for a living and ended her marriage the way she ends everything that stops performing: promptly, with no regrets. At the club she’s Mistress Noire, and she keeps a list in her phone she thinks of as inventory. She came to the Annual Charity Auction for someone else entirely. Then a surprise late entry steps into the light: an unlisted novice in a white collar, known to the crowd only as Lot Nine.

For twelve hours, Samantha belongs to the woman who outbid everyone. She’ll be pushed further than she ever imagined, in front of an audience, with a bell in her fist that she can drop at any moment to make it all stop. She never wants to let go. And the woman holding the leash is about to find that a night she planned down to the last detail is getting harder to walk away from.

Lot Nine is a scorching, slow-burn sapphic BDSM romance about surrender, trust and the thrill of finally being known.

For adult readers 18+. Contains explicit sexual content and consensual BDSM, including bondage, impact play, orgasm denial, public scenes and group sex.
