    Alison wasn’t sure how much time had passed when she finally moved again. And while she would’ve loved to stay in Aaron’s arms, there were toys she had to put away and two bodies that needed a good scrubbing.
    Alison rolled off her side of the bed, grabbed the cane and padded down to the chest to put it inside. Aaron joined her with the cuffs she’d used on him, along with the lube and their leash and collar. Without thinking, Alison bent over to place the cane with the other treasures inside the chest.
    She sucked in a breath when her hand accidentally brushed against Aaron’s, and for a brief moment, neither one of them moved. Heat flooded her cheeks even as a chill rippled up and down her spine. She’d just made love with her Dom, and yet the tension she felt just then was almost as if the two of them had just met.
    An awkward, strangling silence filled the space between them, and when Aaron laced his fingers with hers, Alison jumped. He made a sound of approval, the same noise he made when he was pleased with her submission. She swallowed and lifted her gaze, exchanging glances with Aaron. His fierce eyes bore into her, and she averted her eyes.
    “Master, I…” Alison paused, biting at her bottom lip. “I’m sorry.” She wasn’t sure when they’d changed roles, but the sub who had joined her at the toy chest moments ago was long gone.
    Without saying another word, she took the cane and handed it over to Aaron. As a sub, she wasn’t allowed inside his chest of toys, even if they had walked in each other’s shoes for one night. Aaron wrapped his hand around one of her wrists before she could stand up. She froze.
    Icy panic swept through her veins as her heart crashed against her ribs. His grip told her he wasn’t pleased, but when he pulled her into his arms, whatever she’d felt before melted away.
    Lifting her chin, Aaron looked right into her eyes and smiled. “Why are you apologising to me?” His voice was calmer than she had expected. He didn’t sound like her Dom at all.
    Alison licked her lips. “I…” She sighed her frustration when the words didn’t come.
    “You’ve done nothing wrong,” Aaron assured her, brushing a few strands of hair from in front of her face. “In fact, you’ve done everything right.” He trailed his fingers down the back of her neck, pulling her in close to his chest. Resting his chin on her head, he said, “If I asked you to be my Domme again, would you do it? For me?”
    Alison frowned at him. “You mean full-time?”
    Aaron laughed and draped his arms around her. “No, I would never pressure you like that. Besides, I like being a Dom so much more. But, I also like being your sub. So, I ask you again, would you be willing to be my Domme again?” His last question came out in a growl and made the hairs on the back of Alison’s neck stand on end.
    She dropped her gaze, knowing that voice better than any other. “Yes, Master.”
    “Good girl.”

    Excerpt
     
    Chapter One
     
     
    A chill wind bit at Tara’s face as she descended from the shadowed plane into her lesser human form. The world had changed since her departure nearly a month before—her safe haven of a home had burnt down during her absence. Heat brushed her cheeks, and she forced back her anxiety. The home had very little meaning to her. By now, she’d learned not to get too attached to this world or the material possessions most humans tried to collect.
    She raised her eyes to a moonless sky, envisioning the new moon and the power it held behind her xaran curse. Tara bit her tongue—she knew better than to second-guess the decisions of the Divine. You need to play your part just like everyone else.
    She clicked her tongue. It didn’t matter if her being human now kept balance between both planes. The shift always made her uneasy, especially
