Starboard: Anchored, #1

By Sophie Stern

Christina hasn't had a regular Dom since her husband died in Afghanistan. She's a war widow with a daughter: she doesn't have time for relationships, but she does make time to play.

Christina goes to Anchored to unwind and to have her submissive needs met. Whether she's playing with a Dom or Domme, Christina's partners all know one thing: she's there to serve, not to find love.

It's all fun and games for the Damsel of the Dungeon until a new Dom arrives and he sets his sights on her.

Only, he's not just interested in scening with Christina.

He's interested in everything.

Zack has always considered himself a good lawyer, a loyal friend, and an observant Dominant. When his business partner and best friend, Tony, invites him to visit a local sex club, Zack's ready for anything.

Except the feisty brunette who doesn't want to be taken care of. 

After the third time he sees Christina refusing aftercare, Zack decides to do something about it, only Christina isn't like other subs.

It's a good thing he loves a challenge.

Christina

A re you ready? Odessa’s shoes click loudly as she makes her way across the locker room floor. She’s wearing five-inch bright-red stilettos tonight and honestly, I have no idea how the hell she manages to walk in those things. I prefer to be barefoot, myself, but that’s probably just because I don’t have half the grace Odessa has.

Just about, I tell her. Let me finish my mascara. I twirl the mascara brush over my eyelashes one last time. I really should invest in falsies, but I’m just not confident enough in my ability to put them on. Besides, the double-dark mascara I’m wearing tonight makes me look incredible.

Kissable.

Fuckable.

It makes me look unstoppable.

You look great, love, Odessa kisses me on the cheek and manages to pry me away from the vanity mirror. But it’s time. The night is in full swing and if I’m not mistaken, you have a date with Destiny tonight.

Her name is Mistress D, I smile, but Odessa is right. We both know Destiny from outside the club. It should make playing together a little weird, but somehow, it doesn’t. Somehow, playing with Mistress D is different than working with Destiny.

Odessa just rolls her eyes and gives me a once over. She reaches out and adjusts the corset I’m wearing, pushing my breasts up just a little higher. Then she walks around me, smoothing out the miniskirt I’m wearing and making sure each part of my outfit looks good, perfect. She makes sure I look complete, and for that, I am grateful.

I’ve been playing at Anchored for months now, but sometimes, I
