Unexpected Present

Rate this book
Unexpected Present is a romantic femdom story. It begins on Christmas Eve with a young married couple, Paul and Kate, who are in a vanilla relationship. They are in love, but Kate has secretly wanted to add BDSM elements to their sex life, with her as the dominant. While Paul is not an active submissive, he likes that Kate often initiates sex, and he has had occasional fantasies about being helplessly teased by a beautiful woman.
They have decided to exchange symbolic gifts over the Twelve Days of Christmas. The theme of Kate's gifts is that she wants to add femdom elements to their relationship. Finding what he thought was the perfect present, however, had driven the agreement out of Paul's mind until the last minute. He scrambles to put together twelve presents, and fatefully decides to give her a chastity cage he had bought on an impulse, as her first gift, and the keys to the lock as the second.
This sets a pattern, and after they exchange the first two gifts, Kate interprets every gift as symbolizing Paul's desire to submit to her. Because he loves her and doesn't want to disappoint her, and because he doesn't want to admit he has no theme for his gifts, Paul does not correct her assumptions.
With each day, they go deeper. The chastity cage and keys lead naturally to teasing and denial. They move quickly on from there to spanking, bondage, discipline, financial control, and on New Year's Day, Paul agrees to become Kate's slave for a trial period.
As day by day Kate becomes more dominant, they find their feelings for each other growing stronger. Kate is deeply moved by the trust he shows in her, and being able to engage in the dominance she had only fantasized about before makes her love him more. Paul knows that she would understand if he told her he forgot their agreement, but he doesn't want to hurt her. He also finds the new, more dominant Kate, sexier and more exciting. And by New Years, he is disturbed by how naturally he submits to her. Is Kate's unexpected present going to vanish before the 12th day is over? Or is it a present that will last a lifetime?.

I just couldn't finish it it was that naff. How a couple could kept misinterpreting each others feelings, thoughts, wants and needs, well it just got on my nerves. There's only so much "I didn't want to hurt their feelings an person can read before it gets stale, boring and, just too hard to believe could happen.

Romantic femdom story

This was a really good, romantic and sensual story. Although I prefer harsher stories which are fantasy based and that caters to my most depraved cravings, I can also appreciate those more loving, healthy and sensible.

The premise was intelligent and surprisingly different than what we are used to see. The story was well edited with very few typos and errors which made for a smooth and pleasant read. The length of the story, to my opinion, is perfect. Long enough to build the characters and not too long to get bored.

I liked to see the duality of wife/husband and mistress/slave. How both of those can be manageable in one relationship. She can be strict but forgivable, he can be submissive but also strong. I noticed the descriptions of the scenes focuses on the physical sensations but in a sensuous way. As in a firm and and deep massage instead of in a series whip strokes.

You will enjoy if you are the romantic kinky type.

This is a story I found erotic and even realistic. Paul and Kate both want the same thing--they just have to find their paths to saying it. The plot centers around the couple's decision to give each other a Christmas present on each of the 12 days of Christmas. The presents should all relate to a theme. (You see this coming already, don't you?) Kate knows what she wants and her gifts are designed to facilitate an occasional walk onto the wild side. Paul is less aware of his need to be an active submissive, but his gifts are "read" by Kate as a more active endorsement of the lifestyle than Paul intended--but he doesn't want to break the holiday spirit. The plot falters a bit when the pieces slip too neatly into place, but Paul's reluctance to stop Kate's enthusiasm still rings true (especially for someone who *does* have a desire to submit). This story is more erotic than blazing hot, but Paul and Kate are an entertaining couple to spend time with.

Erotic domination

I do not understand the philosophy behind why someone would want to be that subservient, but it is a turn on in a way.
