\nHE PROVIDES SURRENDERED SUBMISSIVES SANCTUARY
\nDarla was one of the few live-in submissives that he'd come to love. Twenty years his junior, she'd finished her course work and the exams for her PhD, then took a leave from NYU without writing the dissertation.
\nFor several years, he'd let her hide in his penthouse: cared for and indulged, disciplined and educated, petted and punished.
\nHe'd lost Darla, or \u2015 more accurately \u2015 set her free, to pursue the life she was meant to pursue, to be the person she was meant to be. That loss had hurt, but it had been the right thing to do.
\nSome time later, she'd sent him a gift, a young submissive she'd named Grace.
\nDamaged and vulnerable, Grace needed help, discipline and control, attention and compassion, healing from the kinds of abuse that often finds natural submissives.
\nIn short \u2015 she needed a good master.
\nBeing a dominant doesn't mean that you don't have obligations. He took Grace in. He provided her with the menu of nurturance and punishment that she so desperately needed. He taught her to understand herself - her needs and desires, her strengths and her vulnerabilities, her blind spots and her personal history.
\nAlmost 20 years younger than the Master \u2015 like Darla \u2015 Grace isn't really suited to being a long-term lover or companion.
\nDoes that mean he's doomed himself to a kind of serial monogamy, a string of younger submissives, an ongoing "catch and release" program?
\nOr is it time that he found someone his own age to play with?
