Pucked Up Love — Lili Valente

When I see the ad in Portland Alternative's "Love Wanted" section, I can't resist the urge to respond. Yes, it's dangerous--as a star forward for the Badgers I have a reputation to protect--but I miss the thrill of calling the shots in the bedroom and reading this ad is the first time I've laughed in months.Wanted: Discreet Dominant gentleman to teach maybe-submissive woman the rules of the game. No whips, chains, paddles, ropes, or toys. No nookie. No creepy stuff. No butt stuff. No gluten. Just the facts, Sir.Serious inquiries only. -CuriousCat4So I reach out to Curious Cat about the "educational" opportunity...A few sizzling--and hysterical--emails later we arrange to meet. I'm hoping we'll have chemistry, and I might finally be on my way to getting over my ex-girlfriend.And then the gate to the beer garden swings open and in walks Hailey.My ex is Curious Cat, and this experiment just got a hell of a lot more complicated. But I never back down from a challenge--on or off the ice.I keep my educational offer on the table--six weeks of submissive lessons. Six weeks to learn how to drive a Dominant man crazy, and then we part ways as friends.What do I have to lose? Except what's left of my heart?
