This duet of stories walks the razor's edge of the real BDSM scene.
Dominance, by B. D. Dark A man indulges in his long-held secret desire to exercise power and control over a woman. He meets his perfect match in Kim, another newbie to the scene, who wants to give herself to a master. Together they experiment, pushing sexual boundaries to the limit. What is his role as a Dom? Should he end the torture even if his submissive begs for more?
Submission by Roxy Harte Julia is the grieving submissive of Master Jasper. After two years, three months, and eighteen days of crying she decides enough is enough and decides to get laid, even if it means nobody is going to get hurt. What she doesn't expect is to be set up by her friends on a blind date with a professional Dominant who goes by the name of Lord Draco. The question is, how far is Julia willing to go for pleasure...and pain?

How did it come to this? How did I let it get this far?
The X-shaped crosses, hard cocks aching for sinister exploits , perfect mounds of brazen protuberances, the Shibaru-Kinbaku knots, piercing leather clasps, lavish dungeons and those explicit imagery of Yoo Ji-Tae from Secret Love. Was I searching for such lust when I entered the store? I knew the recognizable twinge springing through my warm body when I saw it lay amid the boisterous articles; the quintessential oddball. Was I truly prepared for the experience once again? The unbearable sighs in the offing for a consequential release; the chronic tapping of feet on the cold floor; was I geared up for all? The thought of constricted bondage enraging the power of an imminent DOM was more pleasurable than diamond fields and spouter whales. “Bashfulness is a fool’s play and carnal desire the game of the brave” said the effervescent estrogen. I quickly made a run for it before anyone could glimpse my restlessness. Ecstasy swayed in my cold perspiration. Do I wait till I reach my bedroom; I deliberated, or audaciously curl on the orange sofa right here. Why is that man staring at me? Did he sense my uneasiness, like a wolf vigilant at the hint of raw blood? Steve was a bit apprehensive too, until Kim liberated his inner dominance into a marvelous competent DOM. Kim was reckless or perhaps a passionate SUB who went to lengths to please her Master. The subjection of bondage and the rapture of throbbing pleasure pulling lustful bodies into a labyrinth of sexual supremacy shadows uncontested sanity. Kim yearned to be bound, caned and fucked so did Julia, who longed for a submissive control after her previous Master’s death. Did Julia find her Master who could bestow the gift of a mindless orgasm and was Steve fated to be captivating DOM prudent in his role of generating boundaries to a zealous SUB?
"The vessel receives whatever is poured in it. It doesn't complain that the contents are too hot or too cold, but accepts what is given without question. The vessel then holds the liquid until the provider chooses to empty it again. It is up to the provider to judge when the vessel is full and to stop before it overflows, spilling and wasting the precious essence of life".
A Dom/Sub can truly enjoy a consensual rewarding BDSM relationship when he/she adheres to responsible boundaries, safeguarding it from a callous sphere of violence.
"Ma’am, can I help you with something?"; the strange man was few breaths away and audaciously gawking at my hand. "Is that all or do you want to look for some more?" More!!! He thinks I’m into some kind of perversion. Does denying to vote against pornography misrepresents your sexual intentions? If someone likes to be fucked wildly, well go ahead by all means as long as it does not involve a hamster molesting a cilantro. Politely, I excuse myself from his offered help and dash to the wooden desk hoping I do not see him again. Like a half-lit Marlboro waiting to be smoked, there is he again waiting for me with a bunch of questions. As I slowly unzip he blurts out, “Plastic or paper?” Excuse me! It’s a bag, you sillies!!! Subsequently, after paying for my purchase I zip up my purse and as I exit the bookstore all I have is an titillating erotica and a pack of Marlboro geared up to fill my fantasies with an alluring smoke.
A man knows his secret desire is to dominate a woman sexually. New on the scene, he wants to take his time, and find the ‘right’ submissive for him. He finds her in Kim, a newbie like himself. Together, they begin their exploration of the D/s relationship. Limits are pushed as trust and complicity build between them. But then, what exactly are they doing, he asks himself. What should he be doing? And more importantly, is it his duty to draw the line when his submissive wants to push it even further?
SUBMISSION by Roxy Harte
Julia is a submissive grieving the loss of her master. But she’s decided she’s had enough of crying, and the past shouldn’t be looked back upon. The future is what beckons. But what future will it be for her? She knows she will never find a relationship like the one she lost. Resigned to go ahead with her existence, however dire and vanilla it may be, Julia is however tricked into a blind date by her friends. The man she meets is no ordinary man, for he is a dominant who goes by the name of Lord Draco, and he is looking for a submissive. Is he the one? Will Julia find out? Will she give in to her yearning for pleasure, and pain?
This duet of stories explores the two sides of the dom/sub relation, with a point of view from both sides. It was intriguing and interesting at the same time to have these two viewpoints and to find out what goes on in the minds of each. The stories are hot, edgy, and definitely not for the faint-hearted.
But what really captivated me in those two stories is the physical and mostly emotional dimension the authors manage to infuse into their protagonists. Set up as it is in 1st person point-of-view, it is easy and enthralling to literally be in the head of the person recounting his or her tale. It’s another side of the story, in a way, close to what a BDSM relation is about, but at the same time, far from what many imagine it to be.
If you want hot, go for this. But expect a good deal of life and reality too in those stories. This, I believe, is truly to be applauded.
The first part of this book was just ok I could of done without it. The second half was good I wish there was a little more very ADULT and BDSM so take care before reading!
