Carnal Pleasures is the most exclusive BDSM club in the supernatural world. Renowned for their specialized Dominant and submissive training, people come from all over to explore what the club has to offer.
Cold and commanding, Adam Archer is the club manager. Though he hasn’t taken on a submissive in years, he agrees to see to the newest member of the club.
After surviving a horrific attack, Bane is left broken. The lost wolf is sent to Carnal Pleasures at the bidding of his Pack Alpha. Wrapped in pain and self-doubt he doesn’t want to be there. After all, who would help a damaged beast?
Their attraction is instant, but Bane is distrustful of the demanding vampire. Not used to following the orders of anyone but his Alpha, he fights against his temporary Master at every turn.
Determined to make him let go, Adam submerges Bane in a world he never thought to dream of. A place where trust and submission go hand in hand.
Both men are stubborn and fight tooth and nail to make their arrangement work. When they do figure it out, they find they have more in common than mutual attraction. Together, they might heal more than just Bane's broken confidence.
*The Carnal Pleasures series will be a mixture of various M/M and M/F pairings following the lives of the employees and patrons of the club. Due to language and explicit sexual interaction it is recommended for readers 18 and up*
Excerpt
Adam
I read over the paperwork Mystic forwarded me. It’s a standard short-term contract. One I’ve seen hundreds of time. However, nothing about this situation is ordinary.
I don’t take on clients, at least I haven’t in a very long time. But Mystic pleaded with me for days. Claiming I was the only one whom she trusted to make this successful.
The Dominatrix knows just the right buttons to push to get me to do her bidding. Bitch.
As I read over the application my interest spikes. This man, this sub, is unlike any I’ve ever seen. And I’ve seen all types in my line of work.
He’s never subbed before. His list of limits is extensive; I can’t wait to work a lot of these ‘nos’ into ‘yeses.’
The club is a sanctuary for all those in the Supernatural community. Where one is free to let go and just be.
It was Carlos, Mystic’s sub-slash-assistant who had the idea to offer this reintroduction of BDSM to its members. A safe place for Doms and subs who spent years out of the scene to reintroduce themselves with an experienced mentor guiding their hand.
I was one of Mystic’s top mentors for years, but now I mainly do demonstrations and act as the club’s manager.
This is a special case.
And the more I dive into the paperwork the more I see just how special it is.
The reason for this wolf needing a Dom is unknown to me. I always prefer getting my submissives to open up to me the natural way, through trust and communication. Whatever his reasons are I won’t find the answers staring at his pathetic excuse of an application.
I need to see who he is, and just exactly what he is into. Because though I’ve dabbled in many things, there are some areas I’m stronger in than others, and the type of BDSM that is on his application is something I haven’t had much experience in. Why Mystic would choose me instead of Ken or Jenna I won’t know until I meet the man.
Hell, I don’t even know his preferences, the sexual orientation part of the application was left blank, which I find very interesting. Mystic is usually very strict.
I print the application and list of limits, close out my email then stand.
Buttoning my suit jacket I grab the documents from the printer, then snatch the folder with the consent forms and my personal contract and head to the fourth floor.
*
I prefer to work with clients out of the comfort of my condo, Mystic knows this, so the fact that she checked Bane into one of the private rooms kept especially for this side of the business is intriguing. And frustrating as all hell.
The more things I learn about this case the less I like it.
Mystic owes me, big time.
I rap on the door and then turn the knob. He didn’t lock it, good. That would have gotten him punished before we even got started.
I wonder if Carlos warned him.
Pushing my way into the room I am assaulted with his scent. Aspen, smoke, and man. There’s a hint of something primal. The beast lurking within him isn’t as strong as the other scents in the room. Interesting.
The main room is empty, a quick sweep tells me that he bypassed the living area and kitchenette. The bedroom door is shut.
Setting the documents on the island I make my way to the room when the door suddenly opens and a beautiful sight fills the doorway.
Tall, with dark skin, muscular arms, and dark hair my new pet is the prettiest thing I’ve seen in a while.
His hazel eyes widened and then narrow. “Who the fuck are you?”
Naughty pet.
“That’s rule number one. Disrespectful language will get you punished. My name is Adam Archer, but you, pet, will call me either Master or Sir. Depending on how formal our play gets.”
“The fuck I will.”
That’s two. I mentally count.
“You are here to submit, are you not? You are here to let the control go. You are here to obey.”

Bane - one very growly bad boy, has been tasked to be "tamed" at the hands
of one very demanding Master - Adam
Can two complete opposites find common ground? Will Adam turn from Bane upon discovering his darkest 'secret'?
If you are looking for dark and gritty IMO this is not it -
If you are looking for a romance that has all the feels and this would be it
Bane has suffered a loss and trauma that has left not only him but his wolf in a very dark place. Modern counseling and medications have not worked and things are getting darker. As a last resort, his Alpha refers him to Carnal Pleasures. Enter Adam. Adam is not looking for anything permanent but something about the broken man standing in front of him calls to his protective side. When secrets are revealed both men must reevaluate their beliefs and chose a path.
I really enjoyed this first in series. The cast was so charismatic! Some of the characters are in your face hilarious and others you can feel their auras emitting from them like tendrils seeking out its prey. This being a first in series a lot of future plot lines are hinted at and we are briefly introduced to characters but not really given a lot of detail regarding them - for obvious purposes. The story line was easy to follow and kept my heart engaged. I really fell for these two.
I need the next in series
