Safe words are fundamental to any healthy kinky relationship. Ben Ballard *knows* this. So why can’t he bring himself to *use* his? Safe Word is a 10,000-word extra exploring the first time Ben called ‘Odyssey’ on Xander Romano…and why it took him so long. Note: This story is set early in the series and takes place during the period of Taken by Him: Rough Love Part 2. They’re not officially going out yet; it’s pre-subspace; and Xander has yet to discover the deliciousness of cookie things.
Author
Leighton Greene has been writing stories since she was old enough to hold a pencil. Her first book was a choose-your-own-adventure style book about deciding what to eat for breakfast. It didn't shake the New York Times bestseller list, but she still has a copy of it. After spending some time writing in academia, fanfiction and corporate reporting, Leighton decided she should probably do what she actually wanted to do, which was to write commercial fiction. So she did. She writes gay romance and, when the mood strikes, erotica as L.J. Greene. Leighton lives with her partner and her cockatiel on the east coast of Australia. (Source: Amazon.com)
