Shame Me Not by Fiona Cole

Shame. Panic. Desire. Dominance. Disgust.

All feelings that I was familiar with from the age of sixteen. That’s when I met Ana. The girl next door who became so much more. Until her, I was alone in the dark desires that I didn’t understand, that I couldn’t reconcile.My best friend, she accepted me. Helped me see that there was no shame in the things that we both craved. Her submission was a drug, my dominance over her a high that I’d never experienced. When we were together, I was at peace for the first time in my life.But it was too good to last. Our own guilt over our feelings, of our appetite for pain and pleasure, destroyed us.I was convinced that all I needed was a chance, just one more chance to overcome my shame, and Ana would be able to trust me again.If only it were that easy.
