A Dom and a switch making a bet, but of course the Will( the Dom) it's super out of touch with his emotions and fucks things up
This was hot, but damn I wish they went further into how Will needed to work on his issues to be with Pen.

Will(sir) and penelope (pet)
Penelope’s Safe word: Dracula
Wills safe word: falcoln
We know Will as Garretts twin brother. The brother that Ridley originally thought she was seducing. Will is also Sarah’s brother, Sarah is Ridley’s best friend. We were introduced to penelope in the last book when she came over to Ridley and Garrett and acted like her and Will shared a sexual history and made moves on Garrett which pushed Ridley right into his lap. We know Ridley and will share the same job of helping businesses get back on their feet that are failing. They are rivals. They’re in constant competition for the same accounts. They are both at serve at the same time. He struts over to her and she asks why he seems so confident she figured he’d be down in the dumps over losing Johns account but he tells her he knows he has it in the bag and she asks if he’s willing to bet on it and he says of course he is. She says perfect, if I win you’ll wear my collar for a week. Will is a Dom. He does not like playing sub especially to her. He tells her he’ll take that bet but same goes to her, if she loses she’s submissive to him. She stutters but will realizes he sees desire on her face. As far as he knows penelope as never played anything but Dom but she looks excited at the idea of being his sub. Will gets the deal with John and he can’t wait to spend the next week with penelope as his sub. He has her meet him at serve and that makes her relieved to be in that environment. She doesn’t know where to start as a sub. She tells him her safe word is Dracula and he tells her she holds him in such high regard he knows she’s referring to him. Penelope continues to fight against Will but he likes that, he likes her fight. He tells her he knows she’s used to playing with submissive girls and she says she likes them because they’re soft. He sees her pussy is pierced. She tells him she got it for herself after college. He asks her to stand and she refuses and he spanks her. He tells her if she obeys, he’ll reward her. He tells her to show him what she likes and she realizes she’s started to finger herself without a fight and tells him she has had enough for the night but will tells her they haven’t. He paddles her in the public room and then rewards her there as well by licking her. He now knows she likes light paddle play. After he pleasures her he has Nolan make sure she gets in a cab safely. He shows up to her work the next day and she tells him she wants his fingers, mouth, and his dick. And to fuck her in her office. And he does. He didn’t allow himself pleasure. He was holding back to keep his control. They went out for dinner and then went to serve. He told her to strip in public. He wanted her privately but knew that beat the purpose of going to serve. He used a vibrator on her and started with a flogger and he thought he heard a sob and checked on her and then she said Dracula, she was in her bonds. He hurried to get her out of her bonds, and dropped the vibrator to the floor and carried her into an empty private room. He held her and wrapped her in a blanket. Will feels so bad. He tells her he knew she was mouthing off when she told him she wanted all 3, but he thought they were well within her boundaries but he pushed too far. She said she was fine and then, he just held her close. (Okay I won’t lie I’ve done a lot of listening without documenting in here so I might miss some things) will and penelope have started having some form of sex every night whether it be at his house or serve. She tells him she’d like to extend it past the 7 day period and he agrees. He realizes how much in his feelings he’s getting with her so he forms a surprise. She has a date with her friend Addison and on that day will had surprised her at work and gave her an orgasm and her assistant made a comment about the perks and she fired him. She realized maybe wanting more time with Will wasn’t good for the company. Her father had always said her and her mother were the worst distractions for his company and she worries about that. She had went to his house that night and begged not to talk that she just needed a distraction and he gave it to her. The next night he had hee meet him at serve for her surprise. He had her in handcuffs and a spreader bar and then she felt 2 sets of hands on her. She didn’t like it but she just had to keep telling herself they were just an extension of Will and he wouldn’t allow anyone to touch her that he didn’t trust. Will fucked her while she sucked the man’s dick and then the man left. He said he hoped he enjoyed that because he’ll never get that again no one else is ever touching her that he was not okay with him licking her pussy. Afterword they were talking and he had invited her to his family dinner the next day. After the scene they also went back to his house. The next day whike at work she called him but no response. That night she started getting ready for his family dinner even though she hadn’t heard from him. He called and told her, dinner, one drink and then she needs to fake a headache so they can leave. They get to the family dinner and Will knows he should have thought this through. The house just keeps making him think of his mom. And her leaving. He’s cold at dinner and to penelope. When Sarah asks what they’ll do about their careers when they get married, penelope fakes her headache and it’s time to go. She asks him to talk to her and he tells her no and she says he needs to be honest with her and he says as her dom she only needed to be honest with him. She tried to stand her ground and told him she knew feelings were scary and he said did you honestly think I was falling in love with you. This was just a 7 day agreement and now it’s over. And then he walked away leaving her there with her heart broken. She even called out that he’s more like his mom than she thought and he just kept walking. Garrett corners will after 5 days and asks what’s going on. He tells him that he knows their mom leaving really fucked them up and will tries to deny it but Garrett admits how it messed with him too and how love can change a person. Will says he can’t be in love in a week but Garrett says otherwise. Will tells Garrett he had lied to him that he had never talked to dad or got closure on mom leaving like he claimed. He had said those things before so Garrett wouldn’t screw up with Ridley but now will is going to screw up with Penelope. Garrett tells him he’s never regretted taking his leap of faith with Ridley. Will realizes he’s in love with penelope and he has to get her back. Penelope walks out of her office and thinks it’s will but it’s Garrett. He tells her her Dom is requesting her presence she tells him she doesn’t have a Dom anymore and if he wanted to see her he could have gotten her himself. Garrett asks her Safe word which is Dracula and then he scoops her up and puts her in a car Ridley is driving and they drive her to serve. When she gets there will gets down on 2 knees and tells her he loves her and he’s not taking this lightly. This is him submitting to her to prove his love. She asks his hard limits and he says anal and group play. She asks his safe word, he says falcoln. So she says okay follow me. She takes him into a private room and shuts the door. She can sense wills confusion and she tells him it he’s going to submit to her she’s not going to do it in front of an audience and he tells her not just a scene, he’s giving her a full 7 days. She had him hold the bar and she flogged him and then she made him lay on his back while she stripped and rode him. And he told her he loved her and was sorry and she told him she forgave him and they went back to her being the sub. 6 months later she comes into the room and sees Will with another woman and thinks he wouldn’t hurt her this way. And he tells her he wasn’t sure her preference but she’s a gift for her. He knows she’s a switcher and that she likes to play Dom so he gifted her a sub. He tells her he knows she didn’t usually sleep with her subs and she says she never did. She thinks back to their three some who she still doesn’t know who the third was. It was fun but never again. She flogs the girl and then she has her sit next to will. Penelope climbs onto wills lap and makes out with him and tells the girl to watch and finger herself til she cums. Once she does penelope wraps her in a blanket and snuggles her next to will. Once the girl has calmed down and left will and penelope have sex and then he asks her to marry him. He tells her he meant to ask her tmrw at the opening of falcoln but he can’t wait any longer. He knew the second she took him back he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. She says “yes sir”. I really really loved penelope and will. I loved getting glimpses of Ridley and Garrett as well. Since penelope played a big part in them finally giving in to each other. I loved wills dominance but also his way he gave himself over to penelope to show how badly he wanted her back. I don’t particularly love the sharing parts of their sex which I don’t think they liked either but besides that their sex was pretty hot too. Betting on fate was the perfect title. They never would have ended up together if will and penelope hadn’t made that bet about the deal. They were competition and hated each other in a way. But once they were commuted to each other for 7 days, all bets were off and they fell in love. They bet on fate and didn’t even know it.

Katee, my queen. You got me again with the enemies to lovers! Definitely a great installment to the Serve series. I'm glad I got to read Will's story after seeing him a bit in Garret and Ridley's story.

IR romance with a bit of BDSM. This is a fab erotic romance. It is fast paced, well written and a damn good story. This may be the 4th in the series but it can be read stand alone. So break out a cold drink ( I recommend a good red wine) a fan and put the lock on the door because you won’t want to be interrupted.

I was really looking forward to reading Will's story but it left me a bit disappointed because I don't feel like he lived up to how he was portrayed in Garrett's book. I also didn't feel like the issue he struggled with was really resolved.
