At twenty-four, Vanessa is highly intelligent, driven and beautiful. She works as a Clinical Assistant to Dr. Peter Miles, a Sexual Psychologist. The two hit it off personally, but after their first date, she's insulted when later he demands she take off her clothes. Although he explains that he's a Dominant and wants her as his submissive, she's not ready and asks him to leave. Titillated by the incident, Vanessa spends hours researching BDSM, finding that the idea of punishment excites her. Knowing that Peter isn't the kind to hurt her, she hatches a plan to win him back. Arriving early at the office, she strips naked and binds herself to Peter's patient couch, leaving her body wide open. As he walks in the door, she offers herself to him, uttering "Master, may I speak?" Her life as a BDSM lifestyle sub has just begun. Peter will spank, paddle, crop, whip, bind, cage, and publicly exhibit his new submissive. And as the story unfolds, there will be a kidnapping plot and Peter's plans to launch an institute, all with Vanessa as the centerpiece of the action.
