Manhattan Bound Series #2
By Juliette Braddock

Synopsis

Sweeping through the glitz and glamour of New York’s high society and the drama unfolding in the dressing rooms of Broadway, Wrapped, by Juliet Braddock, continues the journey of a young theatrical publicist’s foray into submission under the tutelage of a dashingly dark star of the stage. Wrapped—the much anticipated sequel to Braddock’s critically acclaimed erotic romance Weakened—is the second book in the Manhattan Bound series.
When Drew McKenzie presents Maxine Kirk with an ultimatum, challenging her to engage in his wanton brand of desire, she readily embraces her awakening hunger for a lifestyle that defies her perceptions of romance.
Entranced by Drew’s charming appeal and by his sensual assault to her senses, Maxine clamors to discover every nuance of this new relationship, ravenous to explore verboten fantasies that seem possible to fulfill only with Drew.
Along the way, he introduces her to his glamorous world of wealth and celebrity—where lavish galas and luxurious gifts are the norm—and entices her into his realm of control with his tender mode of domination.
All the while, however, they both grapple with painful emotions brought about by the extenuating circumstances of their separate pasts.
While Drew remains both confident and conscientious in his parlay of power over Maxine, his own tragic secret lurks in every shadow upon his path in life. Behind the façade of his stage persona and the origin of old Manhattan society, he struggles to hide the unforgiving reality he faced as a child.
Just as Maxine finds the strength to conquer her own torment with Drew’s patience and guidance leading her toward closure, terrifying truths begin to chip away at the surface of his composure.
As the nightmarish details of Drew’s unimaginable life emerge, he fears that this new world he’d begun to build with Maxine will crumble around him.
As Maxine finds herself embroiled in the battle to save Drew’s tortured soul from the atrocities that continue to stalk his every move, two lost souls struggling to find comfort and completion converge.
However, as Drew opens his heart to Maxine’s unwavering support, he questions his own bravery, wondering if she’ll take a bow and make her exit…or if she’ll stick around for the encore?

Lead and Follow by Cameron Skye

A little unknown fact about me….I used to be a dancer. I studied ballet, contemporary and jazz for most of my life. And yes….I even was an exotic dancer.
It was my dream as a little girl to move to New York, to become a prima ballerina and to dance my life away. Sadly…that didn’t happen.
I’ve found myself recently thinking about taking a dance class. It’s been awhile (a long while) and I really miss dancing. It’s one of the joys of my life. It’s always been the way I work through life’s problems.
While sipping on coffee, looking through a course catalog at a Community College, I found myself thinking of the dynamics of couples dancing. It got me then thinking about the dynamics of a dom/sub relationship.
I could not believe I found myself sitting there actually finding seminaries between the two.
I know...WHAT?
Wait. Hear me out.
In most mixed couple dance forms, there is a Lead and a Follow. The Lead is traditionally the male and the Follow is the female.
The Lead (male) is responsible for guiding the Follow (female) through transitions of different dance steps. He choses the dance steps performed, not her.
He conveys his choices and direction to her through subtle physical and visual cues, thereby allowing for smooth transitions. A more experienced Lead knows (possibly on an unconscious level) the most effective transitions happen by his preparing the movements even before the dance even begins.
He knows without a shadow of a doubt, his Follow has complete trust in his ability. She does not question either him or his strength.
She knows he’s the one responsible for catching her. She trusts without a shadow of a doubt, he will do so.
She knows he’s the one responsible for supporting and lifting her. She trusts without a shadow of a doubt, he will never drop her.
The Lead knows he best supports his Follow by giving clear direction. There are no ambiguities to his directions. They are…what they are. By his doing so, it allows for her to help maintain a centered, ready him. It also allows for her to be ready for his cues, and for her to know exactly what to do.
I remember a lifted hand meant an upcoming turn, for example. A hand brought in front of the abdomen meant a send-way.
Sometimes, of course there are miscommunications between a Lead and Follow.
The general rule in dance is for the Lead to increase his grip and to take control. The Follow is not to wrestle and she is never to stop dancing, unless of of course she is hurt.
If that’s the case, she is to say so immediately. At that point, the Lead stops the dance.
I found all of this to be the same dynamics between a Dom and Sub. There’s trust, communication. He’s responsible for leading with clear precise direction. She is responsible for knowing his cues and for following them. If there is hurt, there is a word said and the dance stops.
If done right….it works.
To me being a Submissive, much like being a Follow, means encouraging a Dom/Lead into eading you into something fun and exciting. The difference… one dance is erotic in nature, done in private…the other usually public and on a stage.
As a woman who has been abused, I would NEVER…NEVER advocate for any woman to allow a man to lead them into being beat on. There is a definite line from a bit of erotic fun and a man who wishes to dehumanize a woman.
I read some place that in BDSM a single word stops the act. In domestic violence, no words will stop it. I’ve found that to be true. Nothing I said….no single word stopped him.
I have to admit, through the journey of writing this book, I found new meaning into what it truly means to have this type of relationship.
My preconceived notions…were wrong.
Sometimes….it’s good to have an open mind.
I welcome your comments and feedback.
Take care
~Cameron
