She’s my forbidden obsession. 
 
With tenure in my grasp, I refuse to put anyone’s success above my own, but that doesn’t stop Mara from challenging me.
 
Mara’s secret desire to obey fascinates me. She wants to learn about dominance and submission, and I want to teach her every lesson.
 
She’s a blank canvas begging to be marked, but she’s also my student.
 
If we do this, we could lose everything. I won’t let that happen.
 
Even if that means hurting her.
