Securing His Star. Leather Persuasions, #10

The SadistPatrick O'Shaughnessy ran his family's business with a firm hand and an ironclad control that had given him the reputation of a fair, but hard boss. He worked 60 hour weeks every week, except for twice a year when he took a ten-day vacation that allowed him to decompress in a place where very few knew who he was. On the Island of St. John, behind the walls of the Leather Persuasion Resort, he can shed the business suits and politics.
There, he can indulge the sensual and sadistic needs that he suppresses the rest of the year. The SubmissiveDanica Stern had spent five years being the perfect personal assistant to one of the top legal minds in the state of Florida. She'd negotiated the office politics and fielded calls while setting appointments and keeping her boss's schedule running with the precision of a drill sergeant. And she'd earned her law degree while doing so.
Now, she was two years out from that position, back on the low rungs of the ladder in the firm, and completely unable to forget about those two vacations she'd scheduled for him every year. The PlanDanica never anticipated what she would find when she looked up the LP Resort. She'd assumed it was a place to relax, blow off some steam, and just generally get away from the constant chatter of Miami.
She had no idea that she would find herself not just intrigued by the Lifestyle, but embracing it in ways she didn't know she needed. But despite the dropped hints and hopes that he would take notice, nothing ever happened. She's done waiting; she's booked herself a vacation to coincide with his. She's leaving it to chance - or rather, Lance - to connect her with the man she believes is just the Sir she needs.
The question remains, however, is she the submissive for him?
