Welcome friends old and new. I’m glad you came. Today, I’m sharing from the second in my Love Projects series, TAKING COURAGE.
LAST WEEK: Janna entered a BDSM club where she’s expected as a guest. She tried to pay attention to the security guard who was reviewing her paperwork when a man entered the club. Once he was identified as a club Master, her thoughts turned all mushy. THIS WEEK: I’ve skipped over a little bit including the note she received from the Mistress responsible for guests at the club. It explained her delay in meeting Janna. The guard speaks first. Enjoy!
“You’ll need to wait here for an escort, unless Master Simon has time to escort you tonight.”
She shoved the note into her purse before it shook and announced her nerves. Her heart stopped mid beat, and she bunched her toes inside her shoes. He was a Master. He’d be perfect. It’s okay if he says no. His wife or girlfriend could be waiting inside. A rejection from a stranger meant nothing. Nothing.
Somebody’s nervous. 😉 So, do you think Master Simon escorts her into the club?
BLURB:
Janna’s ready to make over her life and get out from under the controlling thumb of her father. She doesn’t want another failed arranged marriage. She’s ready to do whatever it takes for the career she wants, enter the lifestyle she craves, and to earn the trust and love of the man that has captured her heart, but heartbreak and career hiccups seem to be her destiny.
Simon’s still recovering after his last submissive lied her way into his life. He’s not ready for Janna and how she pushes against his prejudices. He needs to decide if he’s willing to lose her or if he’ll fight for her love and submission.

Thank you so much for visiting me, it means a lot to me that you took the time to visit my little place on the web. Don’t forget to check out the other Weekend Warriors, the Snippet Sunday Facebook Group, and Saturday Spankings too.
Great depiction of her nerves, S.J. I’m right there with her curling my toes. He’ll say yes, right?
I think he’ll turn up, no problem! Exciting snippet!
I agree only because. . .where’s the story? You’ve written a fine eight, short and strong enough for us to know her feelings of the moment.
Her nervousness comes through very clearly. I’m guessing he must agree to escort her and things escalate from there, no doubt in steamy fashion! Great 8!
Hmmm. what a tease. I’m so ready for more. Great 8!
She’s not a bit nervous…is she.
Love it, a brilliant 8. Really looking forward to reading more. 🙂
Obviously it means a lot to her. Love her nervousness.
My call is that he’ll escort her—eventually—but he’ll also be a jerk about it. 🙂
Is it weird that I like her even more for her fear of rejection?
Oh, she’s so nervous. Yeah, I bet he’ll escort her in.
You described her nervousness well and her worry of rejection.
I might have missed it, but her shoving the note into her purse before it shook did stop me and first question which of the inanimate objects was she talking about shaking, the note or her purse. After re-reading it I assumed you meant the note held in her hand would show her hand shaking which makes perfect sense, maybe some re-wording is necessary for those like me who might be a tad dense ;>
I was afraid that might be confusing which is why I mentioned it in my intro. the paragraphs before this one refer to the note and the message within. If I was able to show more than 8 in the snippet, I’m certain you’d have known. Maybe I should have picked a different 8??? Thanks for stopping by.
Keep telling yourself that, I don’t think you believe it! A stranger’s rejection shouldn’t mean anything, but I think this man’s would.
I know I’d be nervous too! Big step. Does he escort her in? 50/50 I’d say. Can’t wait to find out!
