As Mr. Pettifor's personal assistant, muse, and plaything, Bella had always been content with their unconventional yet mutually-satisfying arrangement. She had never wanted or expected more. That is, until the day she heard passionate cries that didn't belong to her coming from his office. Deeply hurt by his indifference and blatant disregard for her feelings, she turns in her resignation. The textbook definition of an alpha male, Mr. Pettifor is demanding and stern, qualities that serve him well as a Dominant and CEO. Though he may seem distant and apathetic, when it comes to Bella, he's anything but. When she abruptly decides to move on, he's left reeling. With the threat of losing the woman whom he trained to be everything he wants looming, all that he's worked so hard for seems suddenly insignificant. Warning: Written for mature and open-minded individuals. Contains detailed sexual encounters, including mild discipline.
