Obedéceme: Una historia romántica de BDSM
by Denisse RoseLa mejor forma de comenzar las mañanas era con la dulce e inocente sonrisa de Jenny. Harry no sabía específicamente por qué la había contratado, pero había algo en ella que le dibujaba una sonrisa en su cara. No estaba seguro si eran sus modos poco convencionales o su vivaz personalidad, pero lo hacía sonreír. Y para un empresario tan estructurado, no era algo fácil de cumplir. En el pasado, había tenido muchas asistentes que habían intentado coquetear con él o ambicionaban tener algún vínculo para acceder a su dinero o popularidad, pero Harry sabía que Jenny no era así. Presumía que tenía novio ya que no miraba a nadie en la oficina y tampoco se arreglaba para impresionar. Bonitos vestidos florales y cardiganes con medias gruesas y cabello atado, no era exactamente la idea de sensualidad para Harry, pero ella no era una distracción, no como lo eran sus anteriores asistentes o colegas. Él podía reconocer chicas desesperadas a kilómetros de distancia, ese tipo de chica que piensa que teniendo sexo es la forma de llegar a la fama. A veces, Harry les hacía sutiles insinuaciones para acostarse con ellas con el propósito de su propio placer. Era un experto en seducir sin dar promesas y esperaba que alguna chica sea lo suficientemente ingenua para caer en su malicioso juego. — ¿Quisiera algo para beber, señor Stone? —preguntó Jenny con esa dulce sonrisa que solía darle. — Sólo café, por favor —le respondió.

She’s grateful for what she’s been able to accomplish so far, since it allows her some economic stability and lets her help her little sister pay for college.

Her mother was made miserable by her father, a man she loved with all her heart who wound up destroying her. But destiny has a surprise prepared for her, and when she least expects it, she finds herself arriving in an era not her own, in the house of a man she has never seen in her life, with a gruff, bossy personality. All she has with her is a letter in her hands directed to him, informing him that she is the mail-order bride he’d written for some months earlier. 1880: Phillip is a responsible, hard-working, and very handsome man who lives alone and feels the need for a wife. A woman to take care of him and his house, who is obedient and does what he tells her to. Someone strong, who can give him healthy children and not go running at the first difficulty. When he realizes that this skinny woman in strange clothing is the bride they sent him, he is furious and wants to send her away, back to her city, but something in her touches his heart and makes him change his mind. Maybe with a little instruction she can grow to be the kind of woman he’s looking for, but what worries him most is that she seems to be a bit wrong in the head; she keeps saying that she’s from the future. Ellie just wants to get out of there, and Phillip just wants an obedient wife. What will come out of this mess?
