Discovering Us Spin Off: The Dominant

Discovering Us Spin Off: The Dominant

K. L. Jenkins

Atticus knows what he wants—and he's never been shy about chasing it. As a Dominant, pleasure is power, and control is comfort. But balancing desire, duty, and family? That’s where things get complicated. One night changes everything, leaving him tied to someone he never planned to keep close… and still drawn to another. Between secrets, shifting roles, and unexpected feelings, this journey isn’t just about dominance—it’s about love, trust, and navigating a world that doesn’t play by simple rules.

B. Luna

“I can feel you. All of you.”

His fingers creep down my body, leaving goosebumps in their wake.

“For millennia, our people have believed in a bond stronger than love. Stronger than life. And I know that’s what this is.” I let out a soft moan as his lips brush my neck.

“And you, Poloma… You are mine. My destiny. My starbound.”

Poloma is a member of a First Nations tribe who believe that each person is blessed with a sacred soulmate called a “Starbound” from birth. She doesn’t believe in the bond.

Until she meets him.
