When I first met Emily, I thought I'd met the love of my life. She was gorgeous, sweet, and brilliant. Plus our love life blew away anything I'd experienced before. But then she started confessing things about her past. Scandalous stories that left me shocked and jealous. I wondered what kind of girl I was dating. But there was something fascinating in her depraved tales. And when we took our first trip out of town together, a fall getaway to the Blue Ridge mountains near Asheville, her confessions became a dirty game for us. A game of escalating teasing and denial. And before long, this game goes beyond mere words, and we find ourselves swept away in a dirty escape of public exposure and partner sharing that permanently changes our relationship.A sweet and kinky femdom romance that includes teasing, denial, chastity, crossdressing, humilation, cuckolding, exhibitionism, and lots of dirty talk.Excerpt: Her dirty stories from before were still on my mind, and I wasn't sure how to feel about them. There was something so wrong about knowing those things about her past. And something very wrong about how much they turned me on. But Emily was so gorgeous and so sweet. I was caught up in my desire for her and the undeniably arousing image of her in the throes of passion. Even the part of me that reacted with jealous frustration at the thought of someone else enjoying her somehow just fed into my attraction to her. My need to have her. It was all confusing, but I knew that I could accept anything as long as I got to have her.
