Agreeing to work for him was impulsive.
Agreeing to be his submissive? Reckless.

When my happy—if not bland—life imploded around me, the last thing I needed was more chaos.
And chaos might as well have been Tripp Carter’s middle name.
From our first meeting on a roof, I felt a connection to the famous actor. Beyond his easy charm and devastating good looks, there was a loneliness that mirrored my own soul.
That was why I agreed to be his personal assistant. As it turned out, I got more than just a paycheck.
I got an introduction to Gilded—the secret adult club for LA’s elite.
The rules were simple.
Outside of Gilded, I used my type-A skills to organize Tripp’s life and keep it running smoothly. But inside those wicked walls? He controlled me.
Completely.
When we were at the glamorous club, I didn’t have to think or overthink. I didn’t have to make decisions. I didn’t have to be exhaustingly perfect all the time.
Our arrangement and the power he wielded over me was casual. Temporary. No-strings was far safer for my already bruised heart.
Because after a lifetime of bland, spice could burn me until there was nothing left.

Blind Items

Prologue

1. This nepo baby B-lister’s small birthday bash turned into the event of the month. His rising star is burning bright and far from an… Old Flame.

2. Speaking of the B-listers bash… Rumor has it, there was some drama toward the end. Maybe the open bar wasn’t a good idea…

3. We hear change is in the air for the nepo baby…

4. Does a certain B-lister know he can’t have his cake and eat it, too? Doubtful

5. Odd that the B-list nepo baby didn’t extend his birthday into a weeklong extravaganza like last year. The drama must have him in hiding.

6. According to an anonymous source, a certain B-lister is a disaster to work with. We can’t help but wonder how long before the offers run dry…

7. Another weekend, another set of tagged photos of the nepo baby

8. The rising B-lister is booking roles, but he isn’t having the same luck with parties…

9. And his luck with dates is even worse since he’s flying solo these days…

10. Or maybe not flying solo

11. The b-lister is riding his high until the flame extinguishes. But his co-star isn’t too happy

12. The nepo baby is getting locked in for his next role. Hopefully, it’s worth it

13. Has the B-lister gone into hiding?

14. And is he hiding alone?

15. Maybe the nepo baby is preparing for his new role

16. But word on the street is his next film isn’t the only new thing in the nepo baby’s life

17. There must be something happening because everyone knows the B-lister loves to see and be seen

18. Who knew the B-lister had so much control?

19. Maybe there’s some truth to the rumor that the B-lister and his co-star are more than fictional exes.

20. Another Friday night without a legendary party at the nepo baby’s place? Makes us wonder what club he’ll be stumbling out of instead.

21. The nepo baby hasn’t even been seen eating out. What kind of contract did he sign for the new movie?

22. No club or party for the B-lister? Sources say something is definitely up

23. If anyone has a lead on the suddenly absent nepo baby, we’re all ears

24. A source says the B-lister is being forced into treatment for his powdered snow problem. Explains his absence on the party scene.

25. We guess there won’t be a repeat of the nepo baby tackling any holiday displays this year. Disappointing.

26. The prodigal nepo baby returns!

27. And aren’t they the picture of holiday happiness?

28. Who has the nepo baby’s hands tied, forcing him to behave?

29. And how long until it all comes crumbling down?

30. Wait, who is that with the nepo baby?

31. Seems like the B-lister’s Christmas was interesting in a new way

32. We thought there was a scoop to be had, but nothing? No info at all? You gossip whores have let us down.

33. Seems like the rumors were wrong. Boring

34. False alarm! Our boy is back, and the tea is hot

35. Correction. It’s hot, and it’s messy

36. We’re asking the question everyone wants to know… Who is nepo baby’s new woman du jour?

37. We’ve got a name for the mystery woman, but not much else. We’re not gonna lie, it’s pretty underwhelming.

38. Is she why the nepo baby was on his best behavior? For a while at least. But nothing lasts forever…

39. Or maybe it can…

40. With all this buzz, we don’t think we can keep calling him a B-lister anymore. The freshly minted A-lister must be loving the attention.

41. We’re getting whiplash, too, my darling little gossip whores. Will they? Won’t they? Are they?Did they? Is he? Will he? Whoever is behind this push, I love you and I hate you.

42. Things are certainly getting shaken up. Anyone else feel uneasy about the change in the air?
