by M. C. Cerny
“I don’t know that I can be what you need all the time.” For a moment, my insecurities flared within and my mother’s spiteful voice echoed that I wasn’t good enough. I struggled to submit during the last thirty days, at times feeling like a failure.
However, I reminded myself that as the days passed, I spoke less frequently with her and gained more confidence able to submit more of my free will into Sloan’s care and capable hands. Grateful for the respite and criticism, Sloan helped me blossom into who I was supposed to be on my own.
“I don’t know that I need that all the time. Maybe I’ve found the one person I can give more to, give my submission to.” His hands gripped my waist and pulled me closer to him. Never had Sloan been on his knees for me. It was almost funny when I thought about our arrangement.
Underwear had to be earned. Living at the Rocking Star Ranch left me completely at his mercy, and yet I had agreed to be here. I came of my own volition, allowing Sloan to push the limits of my boundaries. I was always safe. I was always cared for. Despite his need for dominance, I was always in control. I was always a priority and because of those things, I trusted him.
Sloan leaned his head into my soft belly kissing me over the cotton dress. He looked up and said, “Stay, Langley.”
And I did.

Acknowledgments
There are, as always, a lot of people to thank and embarrass with stories at the end of the book. Needless to say they all know where I live, so I won’t tattle on them too much. My book wifey, my girls with balls, and the many colleagues who take this daily journey with me as authors.
About the Author
M.C. Cerny fell in love with books after experiencing her first real ugly cry reading, Where The Red Fern Grows. Her debut romantic suspense novel, Flashpoint, was written in a series of post-it-note ramblings that would likely make her idol Tom Clancy and her mother blush. She is a post graduate of NYU and calls rural NJ home with her menagerie of human and feline fur-babies. When M.C. is not writing, you’ll find her lurking in Starbucks, running stupid marathons, singing Disney show tunes, and searching out the perfect shade of pink nail polish.
