Cover Mastering Her Senses Erotic Short Story, Mastering her Senses is one of the best Short Erotic Fiction books, Short BDSM Novel which is worth reading

This expansive love story centers on two equally intense characters, Cassia Locke and Quinton Ross.


Cassia has unwillingly developed a phobia of the dark or anything related to it after a devastating accident. Hoping to help herself, she visited Blasphemy, a BDSM club. At Blasphemy she believed she would try to work through her fear and overcome it.


And while it’s not the most conventional way to cure a phobia, it’s certainly a lot more fun than spending hours lining the pockets of a therapist, right?


However, she ends up somewhat reconnecting with Blasphemy co-owner Quinton Ross. Cassia and Quinton have an interesting and colored past.


Quinton is a dominant man while Cassia would never admit, even on pain of death, to seeking him out: she’s desperate to cure what ails her.

And if Quinton is the only one who can help, she’ll swallow her pride, this one time. It’s obvious to anyone who sees them together that their attraction hasn’t faded a bit despite their complicated beginnings.
