"A great quickie from Ellora's Cave"

As a little girl Sam had felt different from other girls. One day she writes a story where the heroine is tied up at one point. She shows the story to one of her friends who promptly calls it yucky. From that point on, Sam kept her secret desires deeply hidden.

Sam is now grown up and attending college. She's one of the more serious students and doesn't spend her time partying. One day a gorgeous guy walks into her class. Immediately Sam finds herself attracted to him but feels that he's not even going to look her way. He smiles at her but the popular girls in class surround him and Sam thinks that it's for the best since she just wants to concentrate on school.

Peter was not just your everyday man. He has secret desires that he wants to share with Sam but he feels that Sam has hidden her natural desires from the world. As time goes on he makes his move hoping that Sam will be able to overcome her inhibitions. Will Sam be able to forget the past and let Peter close? Will they be able to have the relationship that both of them desire?

A great quickie from Ellora's Cave. I really enjoyed this one. I found it to be well written and thoroughly enjoyable. The subject matter in this quickie does contain some bondage.

Summary

As a young girl, Sam fancied herself a writer. Excited, she showed her first story to a classmate, who labeled it "yucky" because Sam's female protagonists had been tied up when they were captured by the bad guys. Abashed, Sam spent the next decade caging her vivid fantasies of being tied up, and cultivating the good girl image that society expected.

Until she met Peter. Sam didn't understand why her body responded so violently to his kiss, only that when it did, her fantasies banged at the bars of their cage and threatened to break free.

The night they finally escaped, Sam's life changed forever.
