Lionel Hobsworth Middleton, in public life a banker to the privileged and the wealthy, leads a secretive private life of sexual perversion. Secretive except to the woman who nurtures his addiction and who chooses to film it.
Sadomasochism is in full color high definition. Lionel, serving as “Leroy the boy” on weekends, finds he has entered a relationship with no limits. Governess Elsa revels in the artistry of cinematography and shares her talent in a most unique manner. She informs Lionel that he will be “tagged” so that his fans will be able to scan his tattoo with their Smartphone’s to watch his canings, suspension and whatever other torture the wicked Elsa can devise. Nothing is private once he steps into her apartment. There is always a camera pointed at him. Even while he is prepped by having his entire body shaved, during humiliating enemas and as Nurse Hopkins constructs a chastity device with piercings and cable ties, Lionel is constantly recorded.
As the library of debauchery grows, Lionel finds he on a course of depravity he cannot reverse. When his personal assistant, Miss Teasdale receives a cryptic piece of mail with his “tag” on it, he lives in fear of her discovery behind its true meaning. If the prestigious firm of J. Covington and Associates were to find out about his surreptitious lifestyle they would fire him immediately; there are things that are just not done at a banking firm.
When Heather Covington, granddaughter of J. Covington, takes Lionel on a business trip to Arkansas, he learns she knows all about his degeneracy into the BDSM world. She shows him her favorite videos from the site, and compliments his mistress on her editing abilities so only Lionel’s identity is known. Dreading losing his job, he submits to Heather immediately. Taking him to a property they are handling in a business venture, she shows him how to be a proper pony boy and rides him bareback.
As more people learn of Elsa’s videos online, Lionel lives with constant anxiety of the wrong people discovering the truth about his being “tagged” and what it really means. There is nothing the governing women of Lionel’s life will not subject him to, including the ultimate male sacrifice.
Classic Chris Bellows... D/s erotica with a thoughtful story line and intriguing ending.
It is unique within the world of D/s writing to find something intelligent, written above the eighth grade level with intriguing plot and good character development.
It's strong as with all Bellows stories, but certainly worth the read.
Chris Bellows proves, once again, why he is a master at Femdom. Not only does he combine awesome technology, blackmail and bdsm, but add in a ponyboy and you've got everything you need!
Very well written story. Clearly this guy knows exactly what he is doing. This is the first book I have read in its entirety by this author and if you don't enjoy extreme female domination fantasies you may not enjoy some of the scenarios. Personally I do, but the castration is not "my bag", and as the narration is male first person and we are taken through the story in the place of Lionel/Leroy, the reader most likely would like to imagine his balls are intact for the duration, so we may enjoy and be turned on by the experiences Mr Bellows invents. I understand the reasoning behind castration as a fetish, but my maybe unfair question when reading was, surely if the narrator's/reader's libido is thus taken away, where is his/our libido to be turned on by the events in the story... how does the author continue to arouse us? A strange question yes, and perhaps I take it too seriously. It depends of course to what degree we put ourselves in the narrator's place and see through his eyes -- and the blurb does give the potential purchaser warning by mention of the "ultimate male sacrifice".
The story is in other regards one of the most erotic I have read, credit to the author's honed elegance, his use of words and dialogue, and especially the authority and deviousness of his female characters. There are a number of high quality femdom authors writing but this author is perhaps the most refined, and this might be what sets his female creations apart. In this tale, masturbation, humiliating CFNM (clothed female naked male) and the careful documenting of this by the female characters for enjoyment and blackmail, make an addictive experience for the reader. The protagonist is forever being dragged deeper little by little and kept on the edge by the machinations of the ladies who control his life and hold the power to ruin him. They really do have him "by the balls" as he is manipulated further and further by the helpless addiction they exploit. Which is why to me, retaining his gonads would have made this the most tormenting and erotic, because it is in fact his submissive sexuality and cock and balls which lead to his downfall, and the story itself.
There is also forced M/M action to some extent in the later scenes which acts to further humiliate our hero and serves to increase the kinky downward spiral.
I enjoyed the book immensely and would love to see the author apply his gift for femdom and bitchy, alluring female characters to other stories which feature less body modification, because it seems a pity to confine his talents at this extreme. However there is ample enjoyment to be found regardless of this. This author is clearly experienced in kink and highly intelligent, knowing exactly what works erotically and when to employ a phrase or even a word or description. So a pleasure, marred (to me) only at certain points by feeling the need to push things and "be different"/extreme, but there is warning of this and the writing is as high quality femdom as available. Outstanding work.
