A sexy narrative about pleasure, pain and the sometimes fine line between the two. Our heroine is in control of the amount of pleasure or pain she receives. Or is she?
First off, I must say I adore the specific, different aesthetic, voice that Dylan brings as a male writer of erotica. I know with Dylan, I'm going to get a word choice that I enjoy that many women authors shy away from. The build is amazing, with pornography and bondage. I can just imagine the room filled with all the porn noises, battering at the bound woman's mind and lust. Of course I always enjoy the immediacy of a story told in you/I, no character names, and in present tense. Then when the project is finished and the man brings the woman to orgasm so much she begs for it to end, just before the introduction of the "science experiment." In specific the phrase "The end result: you look like some x-rated science experiment gone bad." Great turn of words! And finally the introduction of the other woman and the back story of the characters' interactions. Beautiful, thoughtful touch. I loved how Dylan ended the short story on the cliffhanger of which woman would win the game and what the loser would experience.
