Being Hers (Irresistibly Bound, #1)

by Anna Stone

No one seemed to know who he was, and none of the staff had ever met him. As the manager, James was the exception, but all he would

I bet the owner is a woman

As the crowd thinned in front of her, Mel’s heart skipped a beat. It was her.

Ooof ive felt this before

The woman was a regular at The Lounge, coming in around once a week. She always came alone and sat at that table by herself, watching the crowd but never speaking to anyone. Unlike all the other regulars, none of the staff knew anything about her.

Gurl thats either the owner of a mystery shopper

The woman gestured for the man to lean down closer. She whispered something into his ear. Slowly, his face turned redder and redder. Then without another word, he stood up and scurried off.

Wait i love her

“What did you say to him?” “He tried to impress me with his name and his job. And he had some rather vulgar words for me. I told him my name, and that he should pray that we never cross paths out in the corporate world, because after speaking to me like that, I would make sure that no one does business with him again.”

Oh i am in love

Before she could react, a voice rang out from behind the man. “Take your hands off her. Now.”

HELL YES

“Get out,” the woman said, her voice cold and clear. “And take your friends with you.” The man looked her up and down. “Who the hell are you?” “I’m the owner of this establishment.”

UGH I LOVE WOMEN

The woman stared at the man, her face set like stone. He stared back at her, eyes narrowed. He was easily twice her size, but she held his stare.

“You’re not going anywhere until I’m sure you’re okay, Melanie.” “I’m fine.”

can tell you from experience that it isn’t easy being a woman in a male-dominated profession. Not to mention a gay woman. Which I’m sure you know already.”

Vanessa leaned forward, her eyes locked on Mel’s. “And I’ve seen the way you look at me.”

For when I have company. I don’t like to take women back to my home, so I bring them here instead,” Vanessa said casually.

“Yes, my pet.”

NAH SAFEWORD ACTIVATED, IM OUT

“You don’t need to thank me,” Vanessa said quietly. “I would do anything to keep you from hurting.”

This is cute but youve only known her a few weeks van

“Oh yeah, subdrop.” Jess propped herself up on her elbow. “It makes everyone feel needy and depressed. It’s totally normal.” Mel gaped at her.

“She did. I didn’t know you were into that kind of thing.” “Don’t look so shocked, Mel. Do you think you’re the only girl who likes getting tied up and spanked?” Jess grinned.

LMAO

“My student loans. Someone paid them off. Completely.”

SHUT THEBFUCK UP OMH

Mel followed Jess’s gaze across the lawn. Vanessa had come to pick her up again. And this time, she was holding an enormous bouquet of yellow and white daffodils. Mel had made an offhand comment about how much she loved daffodils once before. She never expected that Vanessa would remember it.

Omggg

“And I seem to remember saying ‘nothing over the top,’” Mel said. “Is booking out an entire restaurant your idea of low key?” “Trust me, this isn’t over the top,” Vanessa replied. “If I had my way, we’d be on a flight to Paris right now.” “You’re not even joking, are you?”

WHENS IT GONN BE MY TURN

“He also gave me a bit of a lecture about you. He went on and on about how amazing you are and told me never to hurt you. I think he’s taken quite the liking to you.”

Awww

“He’s been known to come out singing, so I suppose this is him being discreet.”

LMAOOO

“Is that it?” Jess picked up the empty jewelry box, frowning. “No necklace? That’s weird.”

Oh no, here comes the collar

was subtle enough that it appeared to be nothing more than a fashionable necklace. But Mel knew what it was. A collar.

Fuckibg knew it
