You might pick up on the subtle cover vibe that suggests this tale contains themes of bondage and female domination. And indeed, it does. Sam is a strong-minded woman who knows what she wants - which is her lover, Adam, the archetypal alpha, bound and helpless and submitting to her tender mercies. The trouble is, he, in turn, wants none of it.
“No,” Adam said, the word definite and final, brooking no further discussion. He re-raised the newspaper with a flick.
But Sam hadn’t lasted this long in their relationship for nothing. She knew better than to fall at the first hurdle. “So, you’re breaking your promise?”
Adam froze and Sam could almost hear his brain ticking over. “What promise?” he all but snarled at her.
“The promise you made to give me anything I need this weekend.”
It only took a second before Sam saw the dawning realisation on his face. With a sharp snap of the pages, he closed the paper and turned to her again. “Don’t twist the context of my words, Samantha, you know what that offer implied, and it sure as hell wasn’t anything like this.”
“Maybe not,” Sam persisted, forcing herself to hold his annoyed glare. “But the fact remains, you stated that you’d provide me with anything I might need.” She paused for a second to let the implications of his own words sink in. “And the bottom line is that this is what I need, Adam. This is what I want from you.”
He continued to argue, of course, accusing her of seeking to objectify him, of cheapening their relationship for the sake of titillation, but Sam persevered, making sure he understood that this was about deeper things like trust and equality, and letting her have her own way for once, damn it!
“You’ll have to choose another way,” he finally ground out, jaw set, teeth clenched, nose almost touching hers, “because this one’s a dead -end.”
