Power
and Persuasion:
A
Gilded Age BDSM Romance
By Lisabet Sarai
Synopsis -
She’s his natural enemy – and the only woman who can satisfy his perverse sexual needs.
Andrew MacIntyre, heir to a vast empire of railroads, mines and mills, is by far the most eligible bachelor among the society folk summering in Newport, Rhode Island. His mother has filled their opulent mansion with the daughters of bankers and industrialists, but Andrew knows none of these callow young women would ever consent to being bound and beaten, to serving and obeying him the way he craves. His money gives him the freedom to purchase anything except his heart's desire: a submissive partner to share his life.
Labor activist Olivia Alcott is dedicated to helping the exploited factory workers responsible for Andrew’s wealth. The strike she organizes triggers a confrontation between her and the handsome billionaire. Although their disparate backgrounds and values make them natural foes, something stronger draws them to one another: his need to command and hers to surrender.

Excerpt – R
Olivia perched on the satin coverlet of the
carved canopy bed, surveying the impossibly opulent bedroom where she had been
installed. The chamber had to be at least thirty feet square, with a
gilt-encrusted ceiling that soared ten feet above her head. Tall windows framed
in emerald velvet looked out upon a verdant lawn that stretched to the ocean.
Distant sails danced upon slate-blue waves and the breeze wafting through the
open casements carried a hint of salt. The late afternoon sun sparkled among the
crystal tears of the chandelier, casting shards of rainbow upon the polished
oak floor. Nearer the bed, a plush Chinese carpet soothed the residual blisters
on her bare feet.
She wore one of the delicate silk camisoles
Andrew had selected for her as they’d passed through the town. Nothing else.
The other garments he’d chosen hung in the rosewood wardrobe, all but the ball
gown, which would be delivered, the dressmaker had promised, by Saturday noon.
Cocktails would be served at seven, Andrew
had told her, and dinner at eight. In the meantime, he’d instructed her to
await him here, in her current state of undress.
She’d never even considered disobeying.
Fingers entwined upon her lap, she breathed
deeply in a struggle to calm her racing heart. Her nipples knotted against the
silk, aching for stimulation. Her sex was as moist as the humid summer
afternoon, her juices perhaps staining the pale green satin beneath her bare
bottom. No matter. Andrew MacIntyre could afford to replace it.
Her entire body hummed with anticipation.
He would be here soon, or so he’d promised, and the waiting would be over.
She’d wanted this for so very long—long before she’d encountered the masterful
young billionaire. They had not spoken openly of what was to come. She hoped
she had not misunderstood his intentions. If she had, she’d die of
embarrassment—or disappointment.
With her back to the door, she watched the
snowy clouds drift and reform into fantastic shapes. Breathe. Relax. Open. She
remembered perfectly, despite the years.
The hinges were soundless, but she sensed
his presence as soon as he entered, the new aura of power that shimmered in the
room. The lock clicked, shielding them from interruption and preventing any
possibility of escape. She swallowed hard. The moment of truth had arrived.
He stood before her, silent, and she bowed
her head automatically, her eyes on her clasped hands. Still, she knew he was
gazing upon her near-nakedness. She felt the weight of his attention like a
physical caress.
“Olivia.”
With one word, spoken low and sure, he claimed her. Heat rushed to her pussy
and the bed cover grew damper.
“Yes,
sir?” It felt easy, natural—as though she’d never stopped.
“On
your knees, girl.” She slipped to the rug, boneless and loose already, his to
command. Did he find her compliance strange? No matter. She had been right
about his desires and that was all that mattered.
“We’ll
start slowly, this first time. Don’t be afraid.”
Afraid? The only thing that scared her was
the intensity of her own dark desires.
