Sensation, Louisiana 1
Training an Unruly Submissive
Spider shifter Sienna Haze is a dominant and sensual woman who believes all subs should be treated with a firm hand. However, when her mate catches her with another woman and walks out on her, she lets her leave. Eight months later, Kallie Checkwing returns to Sensation after her mother’s death and finds herself as drawn to Sienna as ever. Wary, she tries to keep as much distance between them as possible, but an attempt to kidnap her throws Kallie into Sienna’s arms and training as a submissive.
Undisciplined, Kallie resists the discipline Sienna imposes on her. In spite of that, she finds herself irrevocably drawn into the sensual world of pain and pleasure. With each moment, Kallie falls deeper in love, and danger closes in on them with another strike. So, to protect her, Sienna goes hunting with a deadly vengeance determined to stop the merciless evil before it can make its last strike against Kallie.

Chapter One
Kallie Checkwing stared around the spacious, sun-drenched lavender-and-pale-pink parlor filled with rosewood Victorian-era-style furniture that she used to race around as a child. Magical texts decorated the antique Shaker-style table along with volumes on ancient Incan civilizations, ancient Quechuan, and coasters held sweating glasses filled with chunks of ice and sweet tea. The music from a cassette player hidden in an antique armoire filled the room along with the conversation of her mother and her friends.
A smile touched her lips as she watched the six year old race from the room in a hurry to get outside. She was clad in her favorite dungarees and pink shirt with her long hair in two braids. Her footsteps came down hard on the hardwood floor in the hallway followed by childish giggles.
“Kallie! No running in the house.”
“I’m not running!”
“I know. You’re just walking very fast.”
She slowed to a fast walk, gliding with the grace of the butterfly shifter she was. She had a big grin on her face. The allergies she suffered from, uncommon in butterfly shifters, had finally cleared up for good, allowing her the luxury of playing outside.
The slamming of the door jolted her out of the memory, bringing her back to the stark reality that her mother had been dead for a week now. Murders weren’t common here. Sensation was a safe town that predators didn’t just wander into and attack random citizens thanks to the hard stance the sheriff and the mayor took on interlopers who dared invade their territory.
She wanted answers and would stay until her mother’s murder had been solved. In the meantime, she planned to sell the house even though nothing was keeping her from staying here permanently. After all, a trivial argument with her mother and a wounded heart were the only things that had kept her from her home these last eight months.
She sighed softly, and that’s when she picked up the heat and energy that told her she was no longer alone. It held a steady, strong beat with an air of darkness and danger. However, there was also something warm and familiar, something hungry about that energy. It made her body react with a flush.
“Hello, Kallie darling.” The warm, silky tone caressed her.
She would know that voice anywhere. It was the voice that had sparked heat and desire in her at seventeen and full-blown hunger when she was twenty-one.
Kallie turned slowly, and her teal-green eyes landed on the paper bag brown-skinned woman with black wavy hair, cut short and curling at the collar of her polo shirt. The style looked good on her, emphasizing the heart shape of her face while calling attention to
her full-lips, the sharp cheekbones, and warm caramel eyes with their red flecks.
Heat sparked low in her belly and bloomed like a flower opening to the sun as those eyes caught her in their snare like a spider in its web. This was the other part of the reason she’d stayed away.
All the while she’d told herself it was because she loved her job. Her career was on the fast track with her on the verge of making partner in the accounting firm that had hired her fresh out of college.
“H–hi.” Looking at spider shifter Sienna Haze, she was as sure as ever of one thing. She wanted her. And Sienna smiled a slow sexy smile as if she’d read her mind. Her pussy heated and her pulse sped up.
“I’ve missed you.” Sienna glided toward her, and Kallie creamed her panties just watching her walk. “I hope you’ve come home to stay.”
“I–I’m not home to stay.” Sienna was looking at her with warmth, but she could feel the passion and dark hungers of the spider breed pulsing just beneath the surface. She slammed up a psychic wall of energy between them.
She was a strong empath with the ability to read anyone’s emotions. As a result, her psychic shields were very strong, but they never kept Sienna out for long.
“What I mean is I’m here to sell the house, and to see the investigation through.” She had resigned before she left, not sure what she would do or where she’d go once things were settled. She just knew she couldn’t remain within a few hours’ drive of this woman.
“Oh. That’s too bad.”
Was that disappointment she heard in her voice?
“Umm has the sheriff learned anything while I was gone?”
Sienna shook her head. “No. He talked Ella, her boss at the museum, but she didn’t know anything.”
Kallie nodded. “Do you have any ideas about what could have happened? Was there anything going on with her at the time that sent up red flags?”
“Well, as I told the sheriff, she’d received a few calls that upset her, but she told me they were concerning exhibits for the museum. Ella said she was putting together some new exhibits that were causing her some frustration.”
“That’s all?” Kallie asked, seeking to grasp onto anything that might clear the confusion about why her mother had been killed. “Might it have something to do with her trip to Peru?”
“I don’t know,” Sienna answered, her expression filled with sympathy. “Maggie didn’t confide in me except to say her trip had been successful.”
“Oh.”
“You can talk to the sheriff about the case tomorrow, but right now let’s get down to work,” Sienna said in a tone that was all business.
Sienna worked for Haze Construction and Design which was owned by Sienna’s father. The company had been contracted to upgrade the Victorian that was way too big for one person. Her mother had talked of turning it into a bed and breakfast almost two years ago, which had been more Kallie’s dream than hers.
“O–okay, um, well, last time I talked to my mother she mentioned doing some things to upgrade the house. Although from the looks of it she built an entire addition.” She laughed nervously.
Sienna nodded. “She did,” Sienna told her evenly.
She frowned. “Are the houses connected then?”
“Yes.” Sienna smiled that easy smile that always made her heart flip over. “We don’t have too much left now. Just some floors to replace, some windows need updating, there’s painting to get done, and we need to update a couple of bathrooms. Miss Maggie had already picked out the new furniture for the bedrooms, too.”
She nodded, wondering if her mother had been turning the place into a bed and breakfast after all. “Um, do you know about the real estate market around here?”
“Well, some folks have moved in from the city, and we get temporary renters during summer and winter. Sometimes the fall. You could easily rent out the rooms by the month and have the caretaker live in the new addition.”
“Really?” she asked. The butterfly, spider, and ladybug shifter-witches dominated the town with no mortals living among them.
“Buyers are witches or shifters,” Sienna told her with a little laugh. “The town council still refuses to authorize the sell to non-shifters or mortals of any kind, but we have a big tourism industry now during all the festivals and the High days.”
The Sabbats. The witches festivals or high days of celebration had once been kept secret along with the strong witch and shifter climate to prevent hunters from dying in droves here as they sought to kill witches and shifters. “Really?”
“Some things are still our secret.” She smiled and Kallie shivered, feeling as if she were talking about more than just town business.
“Naturally.” Her breath stalled as she got caught in the current of Sienna’s eyes. “I tried to get into the new addition when I was home for the funeral, but I couldn’t.” Her words came out a breathless rush. The effects this woman had on her were devastating and that was why she couldn’t be too close to her.
Sienna was a spider who didn’t take no for answer when she saw something she wanted. She’d hate herself for giving in to a woman who used women and tossed them out like used-up vibrators.
“I brought you the keys,” Sienna confessed. “It was only just finished the day before Maggie passed away. The place has already been decorated in colors you used to love.” Sienna’s voice softened as her eyes slid over her, making Kallie’s heart beat faster as old desires nibbled at her. “You can live in it while you decide your next move.”
“Why would my mother do that?” She leaned against the doorframe, keeping her eyes on the frame across from her. Looking into Sienna’s beautiful eyes would be so easy and such a mistake. The woman had the power to seduce her with a simple stare.
“She said she was turning the house into a B&B. She’d given me a list of all the things she wanted done to get the house ready for guests in the fall.” Sienna moved to stand directly in front of her then. She put one hand on the doorframe next to Kallie’s head and gripped her hip with the other. “I’m really sorry about your mother, Kallie darling. She was no saint, but I’ll miss her. I know she missed and loved you.”
“Thank you, Sienna.” She looked into Sienna’s dark eyes.
“Why didn’t you come back?” Sienna tugged the cute little button-down blouse Kallie wore up. It barely covered the waistband of her pants. She stroked her hand beneath it, caressing soft bare skin, and Kallie sucked in a breath as the touch sent shockwaves of pleasure through her body that set her pussy clenching in response.
“I—things just…” She couldn’t think with that hand making light circles on her skin. These slightly calloused hands she’d wanted on her body since she was seventeen had the power to make her so much weaker than she knew she should be with this woman, this predator.
“Well, I’m sure you had your reasons,” Sienna murmured. “I think you should consider sticking around. Giving your dreams a try.”
“My dreams?” she asked startled.
“You told me a thousand times how much you wanted to open a B&B,” she murmured in a low tone throbbing with seduction, and Kallie’s pussy just gushed. Her breath came out in soft pants. “Maggie has given you a good start.”
She averted her gaze as she flushed. She could feel Sienna’s lust. It was a slow-moving fog drifting over her. It crawled inside her mind and brought back memories of the day they’d last seen each other. Sienna had made it clear she wanted her in her bed and then she’d proceeded to give her a delicious sample of how good her loving would be.
“I–I did have my reasons.” Kallie tried to fight her way free of the fog trying to commandeer her thoughts.
“Of course you did.”
“Umm, let’s walk through the house and you can explain her plans to me.” She pushed Sienna’s hand away in spite of her need for her touch, for her comfort.
Sienna gave her a smile. “Fine idea.”
Chapter Two
After a walkthrough of the house and
a peek into the new addition, Kallie walked Sienna out to the front porch where the sounds of children playing out in their yards filled the late winter air like music.
Sienna was a strong protector, and she was reluctant to see her go, especially since Kallie had no idea who had killed her mother or why. She could be in danger herself, but she couldn’t ask Sienna to stay. She’d only take it as an invitation to pick up where they’d left off, and Kallie didn’t want a woman who couldn’t be faithful in her bed. So she’d have to talk to the sheriff about having a male enforcer to stay here with her. She was no fighter, and she might need protection.
“Before I go I have something I want to give you,” Sienna said. “I’ll be right back. It’s out in the truck.”
Something from the coven? They had already given her a little help when she’d come home for the funeral by cleaning out the fridge and the cabinets so that the food wouldn’t spoil. They had left her a small basket of fruit with a note promising to call on her when she was ready to receive visitors and there were three invitations to dinner tonight. One of those invitations had been from Sienna’s mother, a coven elder.
But she wasn’t going. She didn’t want to sit across from Sienna at dinner, wanting her and remembering the last day she’d spent here before leaving months ago. Her pussy reacted to the hot moments they’d shared with a violent clench, and cream gathered between the folds of her labia. Her breathing grew erratic, and need, raw and stark, rushed through her. Her mind told her no, but her body wanted to be in Sienna’s sadistic control.
She struggled to get her breathing back under control as Sienna started back toward her. The spider had extraordinary senses, and she would scent her hunger for her as surely as she had in the parlor. And she would take advantage of her weakness.
