Book one in the Power series
What’s a sub to do when the Dom he wants looks dejected? Hank’s about to find out as soon as he works up the nerve to approach Master Thomas.
Hank has watched and wanted Master Thomas for a long time. When Master Thomas’ sub leaves him looking dejected, Hank wants to take a chance. Fear holds him back until his friend prompts him to take action and be more forward than he’s ever been before.
Thomas isn’t broken-hearted, but his pride sure took a hit. He’s sitting in the club, doubting himself, as his ex-sub is acting more like a Dom than not.
Then a sub wearing white leather approaches Thomas with some goading from a friend. Thomas has noticed Hank before, but the timing was never right for them to connect—until now.
With one daring move by a sub who knows Doms are only human, the future suddenly looks brighter than Thomas had hoped it could be.
Dedication
Never be afraid to ask for what you need, to reach for what you want.
Chapter One
Why is it that people think Doms don’t have feelings? Not for the first time, Hank wondered that as he unobtrusively watched the dark-haired man slumped on the barstool a dozen feet away.
Despite the dejected look to those rounded shoulders, Hank had to fight not to drool. Those were broad shoulders, Dom shoulders, meant to be held back with pride and confidence.
Yet somehow, somewhere, someone had stripped that confidence and pride away from Master Thomas.
While Hank didn’t know Master Thomas, he knew of him, though he doubted the same could be said in reverse. There was no reason at all for Master Thomas to notice him, since Master Thomas had—as far as Hank knew—been involved with someone else.
That might not be the case anymore. A happy Dom wouldn’t look so dejected.
Hank fiddled with the flimsy straw in his water glass as he considered the situation. What he didn’t know was what had happened between Master Thomas and the pretty little sub he’d been with every time Hank had seen him—well, them—in the past six months. He could imagine many scenarios, but none in which anyone in their right mind would leave a man as sexy as Master Thomas.
Hank glanced around the room of the club and choked on his own spit when he spied what—who—was the cause of Master Thomas’ unhappiness.
That pretty little sub, Kelly, who’d been with Master Thomas for months, was laughing and flirting—no, he was all but fucking some young wannabe Dom over in the corner.
And that was just it. Kelly wasn’t acting very subby, and the wannabe Dom was looking more like a switch. For that matter, so was Kelly, who’d proclaimed himself a sub. Or
