    Summary

    Tav has always kept her fantasies separate from her real life. But ever since she stumbled across his videos—the faceless man with the rune-like tattoo on his forearm, dulcet whispering voice, and the way he makes his lovers unravel with nothing but the cadence of his praise—she hasn't been able to look away. Yet the introduction of her new trainee swings her desires into something far more dangerous, because opening the door for another very real heartbreak is the last thing she wants to do.

    Astarion's been leading a double-life for years, nine-to-five on paper, mysterious pleasure dom after hours. It's always been just a superficial side-gig meant to bolster his earning. But when he finds himself enthralled with his trainer, the ensuing flirtation feels harmless until it isn’t, and something in him struggles to keep it together.

    His usual detachment doesn’t hold. He's thinking about her when he shouldn't be and hearing her voice instead of the script. And it's fine. It's under control—not that it means anything. Naturally.

    She was never supposed to know.

    He was never supposed to feel.

    And now neither of them can stop.
