Excerpt:
Chapter One
The metal was cool, shockingly so, as it came into contact with the sensitive skin of her neck. His fingers barely touched her, and yet even that small caress made her shiver. Goosebumps rose in a wave over her entire body and she felt even more bare than she already was, if that was possible. The lock closed with a quiet ‘snick’ and the joy that bubbled up from the depths of her soul shone from her. She knew she was glowing, could feel it emanating from her skin.
“You’ve come to me, and you’ve bared your body, and your mind, and your soul. We have explored many things, both pleasurable and painful, and I am honored to collar you today. We will travel this part of the journey together, confident in our trust, secure in our love. I claim you as mine.”
Tears welled up in Katie’s eyes and flowed over her cheeks at his words. In her position kneeling at his feet, she bent over and reverently laid her lips on first one boot, and then the other. She lifted her face to look up at him, and as she spoke, his hands came up to cradle her damp cheeks.
“You found me, and didn’t just mold me into what I am now. You urged me to find out who I was for myself, and no one else. You accepted me, even when I was afraid. You were even willing to let me go, if that was what I needed. You encouraged me, and you guided me, and now I accept your claim. You will be my master, and I will be your slave, happily. I choose you, Sam.”
Her words wavered as his hands lightly glided over her cheeks, down her neck, over her shoulders and all the way down to her hands to help her stand in front of him. Katie fell into his light green gaze and his head dipped down. His lips touched hers, gently at first, and she responded even to that tender touch. The kiss went on, and as it did, his tongue slid into her mouth, silkily dueling with hers until she pressed her body to his, small whimpers released from her throat.
Katie came back to herself when she heard the others in the room softly clapping for them. She could feel herself blush from her cheeks above to the cheeks a little further south, and knew that her embarrassment could be seen by all. When her master turned away for a moment, she let her fingers come up to stroke her newest adornment. Her hands were toying with the lock at the back of her neck when her wrists were firmly gripped.
“It’s time to play now, my beautiful slave.” Sam chuckled in a dark, sensual way that sent desire ripping through her, and Katie’s wrists were bound behind her neck.

5 Hearts from The Romance Studio!
When Katie finally achieves the status of slave to her master, all their friends are there to share the moment. But when her master promises to fulfill the fanstasy she’s had for a long time, bringing another woman to their bed for a night of passion, she is suddenly nervous. Will her fantasy be more than she can handle in real life?
Her Master’s Gift could be so many things, but for Katie it is all of her dreams and fantasies come true. In this peek into the BDSM lifestyle, Ms. Celeste shows us that the relationship between Master and Slave is about more than just sex. It’s about every aspect of life and what two people can be to one another.
As a person who knows almost nothing about BDSM, I was fascinated and touched by the relationship between Katie and her Master Sam. I wanted to read on and see how they would attempt to bring Katie’s fantasies to fruition despite her self-doubt. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to read about how much two people can love each other and express it in a very different way. While I wasn’t sure what would happen with Katie’s fantasy, I was immediately sure that here were two people whose love for each other were warming the pages of this story and my heart.

Special Content Alert: BDSM, F/F/M menage.
Review: I’ve read other stories about BDSM, yet never with this much explanation into the actual Lifestyle. I was truly impressed with the way Sam handled Katie as his submissive. The level of trust in their relationship was a lot more than I see in most relationships today. The way Katie let Sam guide her with his gift to her was breathtaking.
I have found a new respect for this Lifestyle and understanding. I hope more people will look at this way of living with a new appreciation. Each person needs to make their own judgments on how they want to live their life and not feel guilty about it.
I thoroughly enjoyed my introduction into Dena Celeste’s writing. I hope to read more of her work in the future. Please pick up this story, you will not be disappointed.

Now that Katie’s been collared, she’s settling quickly into life with her master, Sam. But she thinks she’s ready to expand her experiences and he’s quick to help. In fact, Sam has a special gift planned that is sure to delight her, if only she can gather the courage to move beyond the past and accept it without regrets.
To collar a slave is a huge event in the BDSM lifestyle. It signifies a willingness to give everything into the care of another–life, love, pleasure, and pain. Her Master’s Gift begins with the collaring ceremony of Katie to her Master, Sam. Upon the night’s conclusion, Sam tells Katie he has a gift for her. She’s always fantasized about making love to a woman, but a horrible experience with a female switch has left her unable to see it to fruition. Now, Sam wants her to show him that ultimate display of trust by making love to a woman of her choosing in his presence. Katie will have to trust Sam enough to keep her from harm, and Sam will have to prove there is no danger in letting go when you have the right Master to protect you.
This is a very fast paced BDSM story that you’ll enjoy from start to finish. Katie is relatable as a woman that thinks she knows her limits but is still afraid to reach out to obtain them while Sam is memorable as the man that loves her enough to push the issue and force her to face her demons. I enjoyed the interplay between them. He’s her Master, but it’s obvious that she has a firm grip on the reins. He’ll push her, but only so much as she’ll allow it. There is also a good deal of BDSM play offered within the pages that will more than satisfy any craving a reader might have for floggers and cuffs.
A wonderful story for those in the mood for a quick read that sizzles. Be sure to check out Her Master’s Gift.

Collared and cherished, Katie loves her role as her master’s slave; unfortunately, her past has made her afraid to face her own desires. Despite her insecurities, her master knows what she longs for and wants her to push past her fears, but will his strength be enough? Can she trust him to keep her safe and allow her to fly secure in his sweet dominance?
Dena Celeste offers readers a glimpse at the lifestyle that moves beyond the sexual to the truly intimate. The most astounding and pleasant part of this story is the ever present tenderness that flows between Katie and her master. I enjoyed this short story and believe other readers will too. It showed me a side of domination and submission that I had heard about but never really understood. If you want a gentle look into the life of a submissive, Her Master’s Gift provides the perfect opportunity. Nicely done, Ms. Celeste.
