This is great! I love stories with this premise; where one character sets the other two up. And super bonus-points if they already know each other. That they were starting to negotiate the terms of a D/s relationship at the same time as getting to know each other was refreshingly original, although it made me really, really want to see more of how this relationship plays out... good work, mystery author! I enjoyed this story immensely, on many levels. *G*
