Unfurl

For lovers of Sierra Simone, a high-heat romance about a young woman breaking free from her father’s patriarchal grip by embarking on a journey of sexual awakening with the help of her older, experienced neighbor.

You’re an innocent until you let him unfurl you.

An upbringing steeped in purity culture has saddled me with three things: an intact V-card, enough Catholic guilt to fill a cathedral... and a raging priest kink.

My religious extremist father is intent on preserving my virtue, but when I meet my magnetic older neighbour, Rafe, it seems the universe has other plans for my body... and my soul.

He’s the precise opposite of me: a man who views sex as a commodity, whose club caters to the wealthiest, most debauched clientele in London.

But when I discover the club offers a programme to “unfurl” inexperienced women like me in a safe space, I’m in. Even the entry questionnaire has me aching with desire. It seems I’m about to get schooled in every delight I’ve been missing.

Rafe makes it his mission to bring my wildest fantasies to life. When he and his friends don their dog collars, they put the hot into hot priests. He’s so attentive, so possessive, and I have to remind myself that a boring little virgin like me could never make a man like him happy in the long run.

So when all the religious BS I’ve been battling comes to a head in the most horrifying way, what right do I have to think he’ll stick by me?
