Professional dominant Spencer Smith has great friends, engaging hobbies, and the best job in the world. The fact that his appetite for kink seems to be waning in both his professional and personal life doesn't worry him. Spencer's pretty sure his dating mojo will recover when he meets the right sub for him, and his clients are still pleased with his whip-wielding. Of course, that's before dance instructor Brendon Urie waltzes into Spencer's life. Spencer just can't seem to stay away from him, even though they're incompatible on paper. Spencer can't even remember the last time he subbed for anyone, and he's not sure he's the switch Brendon thinks he could be. As Brendon takes the lead, can Spencer learn to follow--or will they just keep stepping on each other's feet?
