This was surprisingly pretty good, lol.  Surprising because it didn't open very strong or clear and I don't usually enjoy short, erotic stories all that much and tend to whine about what they lacked.  As it turns out, when they're done mostly well and aligned with your tastes then the genre doesn't really matter.  This is definitely a sexy little ride with a power dynamic twist that really turned me on.  And it definitely gets better as the story progresses.Here we have an employee (Rose) with a long-standing professional relationship with her 50 yr old lez boss (Katherine).  The break up of her 20 year relationship seems to have broken Katherine's spirit and she doesn't exude the power and confidence she used to.  Although Rose is leaving the company and heading for a new life in Greece... she decides to take a little initiative with her boss before her exit.  The result has an unexpected effect.Sure, we want stories we like to be longer... but for what it was, I liked it. You may want more from this ending, but I thought it suited the story.  There were a number of sentences here I just couldn't make sense of, but nothing out of control. Maybe a couple of physical actions that had me scratching my head on how a character managed that, lol.  I also couldn't picture Rose enough.  I got that she was more feminine than her boss, but I want more to visualize when it comes to femininity.  In Katherine's case, I couldn't say for sure if she was just kinda dykey or pretty darn masculine... or had that older and more neutral thing going on.  Her power and control (or lack thereof) was more the defining focus.  I guess I just wanted these characters described more.Took me about an hour or two to read.  Each Kindle page is about 2% of the story.There is some anal and strap on play.  Definitely recommended if you enjoy some very light power dynamics.  Nothin' heavy.
