Although each main character will only have ONE book, they may appear in others throughout the series. Some stories will also have BDSM elements, but these stories are NOT BDSM.

The more hurt she gets, the more venomous she grows.-Emily Bronte, Wuthering Heights Prologue MISTRESS B-0042 Garden of the Gods Colorado Springs underground facility What started out as forty-four Mistresses had now turned into more than I could count. One hundred? Two? The Main Master’s voice echoed through the speakers from the large auditorium, but I stayed just outside one of the entrances with my only remaining slave. We were near the room we’d been assigned to for the males and others like him. I could have gone inside, but I was too captivated by our handsome Main Master who walked the stage. He had such charisma, and he knew just how to capture an audience. “Welcome to the second auction for the Garden of the Gods. For those who didn’t make it to the first, I’m going to recap this as quickly as possible. You’ve taken the classes. You’ve learned the rules.

I was already buzzing pretty good, but that didn’t stop me from finishing off the Vodka and Sprite. “Another.” One word was all it took for the tall, deeply tanned male to turn and head back to the bar. My gaze lingered, taking in the width of three-eleven’s shoulders in the fitted suit. I’d never dressed him up outside of jeans and a t-shirt, and he’d only just started going outside with me the last few weeks. But I didn’t want to think about what led up to that, or why I needed him to begin with. The thought ignited the aching hole in my chest. It was a reminder of the laughter. The whispers. Three-eleven was my armor in more ways than protection. I’d grown close to him since it’d become only the two of us, but I didn’t want to think about that either. “For those new to us tonight, I
