Madame (Salacious Players' Club, #6)

by Sara Cate

Some people go to confession or say their Hail Marys—and some people come to me.

Is loving a person truly enough when existing together requires so much more?

think becoming a sex worker was the last great liberation from the life I used to live and the small-minded world I grew up in.

I was finally free and in charge of my own life. There was no shame. No fear.

plenty of people seek out professionals to fulfill needs their partners either can’t or don’t want to fulfill. There’s nothing wrong with that, but I’ve never had to explain it to someone’s girlfriend before.

I became addicted to how she made me feel, and now I’m like a recovering addict, stuck in withdrawal.

He’s growing too fast, his life flashing by like a gust of wind I can’t seem to catch.

Then I expect you to take care of what’s mine. Hydrate. Eat well. Exercise. Understood?”

“Dominance is about so much more than control. It’s about connection and trust. It’s about pleasure and knowing what you want.

You grew up in a world that conditioned you to believe that men are more sex-driven than women and that any woman who enjoys and values sex is a whore, slut, et cetera. So, our first lesson is going to show you what an empowered, sexual woman looks like.”

“If you’re going to be a people pleaser, then the first person you need to please is yourself.”

Before you can ask for what you want in the bedroom, you have to learn how to put yourself first.”

I like Jade too much. It would be very, very stupid of me to develop feelings for my ex’s new girlfriend. But I don’t think there’s much I can do about it at this point.

“That’s not how I want you to treat what’s mine. You should pleasure what’s mine. You should value what’s mine. Never think or talk bad about what’s mine. Understand?”

I don’t want to pry, but I sort of want to know everything about her. I want to crawl inside her mind and know her like no one else does.

This is...strangely relatable

“But what you want and who you are matters, Jade. No amount of love for someone else can change that.”

If you want different things, how is communicating going to help?” I ask. She shrugs. “Because we all want the same thing—to feel safe, satisfied, and seen.

If you’re going to be a people pleaser, then the first person you need to please is yourself.

A bi awakening with Madame Kink surely isn’t cause to panic.

Did I ignore the red flags because I was excited to see her again? Yes, like an idiot.

I mean who hasn't there done this

There’s something powerful and intimate between them. Clay is so naturally submissive to her, and it doesn’t look like weakness. It looks like control, loyalty, and dedication. It’s like he lives only for her, to obey her and please her.

Just because you can carry it all doesn’t mean it’s not heavy.

It’s like she flipped a switch, taking on this sexy-as-fuck persona that’s still adorable and quirky while also powerful and provocative.

Eden has turned Jade into a squirter and me into a two-pump chump. We’ll call that the Eden effect.

It’s like…sweet dominance. She holds her own, demands what she wants, and isn’t afraid to put herself first, all while looking like a bubblegum princess. It’s hot as fuck.

This primal, deep need to do…something. I don’t quite know if that something is to yell at her, hurt her, keep her, protect her, or fuck her. Or all of the above, perhaps.

But it’s like by being with Eden, I’ve met my match. She lets me fight her and push her around, and she does the same back to me, and it’s so fucking hot.

As jealous as I was to hear about it, they needed their moment to be about them, not my voyeuristic gaze. Although…if that’s the case, doing it in the voyeur room might not have been the right choice.
