Marie and Jackson are taking the next big step in their relationship and moving in together. Understanding that Jackson is feeling down about losing the place he called home for almost a decade, Marie intends to make his last day in the apartment as sizzling as possible. She's eager to explore her role as a soft Domme more. Together, they wade a little further into the world of kink. Marie's new art book arrives right under the wire, getting there the day before her next craft show. She has no idea that some of her friends have a big surprise waiting for her. Lots of love and support in this book, along with some wonderfully steamy scenes. *** Content warning. In the second last chapter, I just want people to know that a past event from a character's life is told and it involves violence. It is a retelling of what happened to them by a family member. I tried to go light on the description of violence, but it's still a very emotionally impacting chapter and there is some description of violent acts. This character's loved ones are always there to help them try to heal from this event as much as they're able so that the future is bright and wonderful.
