The Gravity Between Them

Elias Ward and Ronan Vale were many things-
business partners, best friends, enforcers for the Syndicate, and co-owners of The Obsidian Room, the most exclusive BDSM club on the East Coast.

To most outsiders, The Obsidian Room was nothing but a rumor whispered behind heavy doors.
To insiders, it was a sanctuary-dark, velvet-lined, governed by rules stricter than any law.

Consent was sacred.
Control was earned.
Secrets never left the walls.

Elias and Ronan were opposites in every way.

Elias was fire-quiet, smoldering, dangerous when provoked.
Ronan was ice-sharp, calculating, a man whose voice alone could make a room fall silent.

But inside the club, they moved like two halves of the same force.

They didn't share partners.
Not ever.
Not in this world of desire and discipline where boundaries meant survival.

Until the night she walked in.
