Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Which do you prefer? Being in control? Or giving it to someone else?” She began to tap the whip against her palm. “Being in control means having all the power. But it also means responsibility. Giving up control means you get to let go completely. But it requires you to place yourself in someone else’s hands. To trust them. It can be terrifying.” She stilled the crop in her hands. “And it can be exhilarating.”
“I’ve wanted you since the first night I saw you in my club. And I always get what I want.”
“If you let me, I can show you what it really means to submit. I can make your darkest desires reality. I can grant you your wildest fantasies. Do you want that?”
“If I’m going to give you what you crave, you will have to give me something in return,” Vanessa said. “Complete and utter surrender. You will submit to
me. You will obey me. You will belong to me in every sense of the word. Do you understand?”
“How does it feel to be at my mercy?”
“Being submissive in bed has nothing to do with who you are out in the world. And submission does not equal weakness. In fact, it takes a great deal of strength to do this.”
What I do gives me complete power over another person in the most intimate of ways. I become her Master, her whole world. Her everything.”
All you have to do is close your eyes and let me take some of the weight off your shoulders.”
“You don’t need to thank me,” Vanessa said quietly. “I would do anything to keep you from hurting.”
“You deserve the world. And you don’t have to go through life alone.”
“You have far more power over me than you know. I’m yours as much as you are mine.”
