Office Intrigue Duet

Do you get up every morning, spend close to an hour or more getting ready, pick out the perfect outfit, make sure your makeup is suitable, then style your hair just so? Do you slip your feet into your favorite heels, lock your modest one-bedroom apartment, climb into your practical car? Do you drive 20 minutes to downtown, find a spot in the company parking garage? If you do, then you're very much like me. However, I think our stories will differ significantly once you get to your office and I get to mine.

Having spent the last two and a half months with my bosses, the thought of spending the holidays alone isn’t ideal. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what I feared I would be doing. Or so I thought. I probably should’ve learned long ago not to underestimate the men I work for. They do have a way of surprising me when I least expect it. While I find myself immersed in a lifestyle I am still getting familiar with, spending time with my bosses is proving to be more than I originally anticipated.

Have you ever wanted something so badly that you would do just about anything to get it? Have you felt as though you weren't quite good enough, so you deserved what life eked out? So much so that you've endured things you knew were wrong, but weren't sure what to change to fix it? If you have, then you're very much like me. That was exactly how I've been living my life, suffering for reasons I couldn't explain. I wanted something I couldn't seem to find, something I doubted I deserved. Until one day, I was in exactly the right place at the precisely the right time.

My name is Trent Ramsey. It's possible you've heard of me. I'm one of the highest paid actors in Hollywood. Not only that, but I've built a vast empire of businesses, including two of the hottest BDSM clubs on the map. My face has been plastered on big screens and magazines for over a decade. Plus, I've got more money than I know what to do with. At one point in my life, I thought that was enough to make me happy. So, why am I not? Why have I found myself at a crossroads? It's not like I don't know what I want. I know exactly what I want. Or rather who.

By definition, a sadist is one who receives sexual gratification from causing pain and degradation to another. That's me, to a T. I only play with those who understand what it means; those who are willing to indulge my devious desires. Any masochist who seeks me out knows that if they trespass, I will gladly shatter them and walk away, leaving them for someone else to put back together. Yet the cowboy and the pretty boy have given themselves to me. They have agreed to play by my rules and there is only one: There are no rules.

Have you ever wondered who holds the ultimate control in a relationship? More specifically, who wields the power when it comes to domination and submission?...And who better to give me a lesson than Gregory Edge, the tall, dark, and stoic Master who manages the infamous fetish club known as Dichotomy.

Have you ever felt incomplete? As though, happily ever after is a fleeting, unattainable concept? Not that I haven’t had memorable experiences. Because, I have. Plenty of them. It’s more like what’s necessary to check off all the boxes for a successful HEA hasn’t been defined yet. At least not for me. To say my desires - not to mention my expectations - are complicated would be putting it mildly. It’s bad enough I’m in love with my best friend, despite the fact we can’t give each other what we both need: a dominant who can tame our inner submissives.
