Dark Submission

Rate this book
Kyler’s fantasy is to be bound, gagged and forced to submit…a dark submission.

In the middle of the night, two men, Masters, enter his home, his room…and his bed. And they are about to make his fantasy reality. Only he doesn’t know who they are.

Behind the slave hood, it doesn’t matter that in his mind and heart he would never cheat on his partner, Brian. His responses reveal just how much he aches for the pain and pleasure of BDSM. But in surrendering he’ll betray his lover because Brian could never be his Master, would never understand his submissive needs.

Or does Brian have secrets of his own?

This title manlove, ambiguous consent, multiple partner.

If only someone would break into my house and force pleasure on me.

They don't want money or goods just Kyler's sweet rump. Kyler doesn't want to cheat on his lover Brian, but who wouldn't get excited over two Dom's wanting him to please Brian?

This story was very short so I didn't really get a sense of who the characters were but I did get the feeling that they both cared deeply for one another. Kyler had not been able to embrace his dark desires because he assumed that Brian would not approve. What Kyler did not realize is that Brian wanted Kyler's pleasure as well as his own. Then two Dom's break into the apartment. What are these boys to do?

I think the secrecy presented at the beginning of this story gives it an exciting little twist. Kyler has no idea who these two guys are in his room but he quickly recognizes one thing -- they want more than just a few dollars. They want his body and he is helpless to do anything about it. These two strangers also awake something inside of him he had been trying to hide and not knowing who they are added to his arousal. As a reader I was both appalled and exhilarated all at once so I can imagine how Kyler felt.

I have included spanking as a tag for this story, but it's really whipping. This whipping does not draw blood but it is part of the foreplay. So if whipping is not necessarily your kink, you may want to skip past that part. Also I want to clarify that this is a forced seduction scene not a rape scene. When I read the blurb and started the story I was a little worried that the scene would start as rape prior to Kyler consenting to his assailants but that is not the case.

It is a shame this is such a short story because with the storyline he had the potential to be a great full length story. I also think the author left enough room for them to create a follow-up full length story so hopefully we will see that in the future. In the meantime enjoy this quickly just as I did.

I was expecting much more from this story: power play, a strong Master, a real sense of surrender... I found these in the first couple of pages, but then Brian entered the scene and sort of ruined it for me with his doubts and inexperience. A pity, that.

The lead-in to this story made me think "rape". Kyler gets tied up in his own bed by two strangers, just like in the fantasies he's shared with a few people in a chat room. His desperation of not wanting to betray his lover Brian when it actually happens was palpable. The whole situation was so real, it made me cringe.

This is quite a brutal story, but there comes a point (before everything is too late) where Brian reveals himself - and that makes all the difference for Kyler. He still ends up having sex with a stranger, but at least it is semi-consensual. I can't say I liked the story, but that is for purely personal reasons. If you like this sort of scene, you will probably love it.

A short BDSM story for when you're in the mood for a mental quickie. For those who like the bondage stuff, this would be, err...fun? I'm not a fan of short stories and when I do pick up a BDSM-themed book, I do like it longer. But this didn't hurt. It's a hot, erotic sample of a common sexual fantasy. Made a great nightcap.

Ok kinky short m/m scene about a guy who's been participating in an online bdsm group because he's sure his boyfriend wouldn't understand his desire to submit. One night he wakes up to find two strangers with bondage gear in his bedroom... and they know his online identity.

This was sweet and wicked! The beginning of the scene might be a bit shocking, but I loved every minute of the unknown. It made it hot and unpredictable enough to keep things interesting in such a short story.

It's short. It has BDSM. As well as menage. It's pretty hot. Good for quick read but nothing more to it. Then again, sometimes in life you need snacks. Treat this as one.

If the scene would have played out without showing that his lover is behind all of it, I would have liked it more. The book got way too fluffy too fast so I didn´t finish it.

1.5-2 stars.

Not really that interesting. Sadly so. But very quick read. Only sex, unfortunately not very hot sex. The idea was an intriguing one, but not done too well.

Loved this short story...wished it had been longer. Kyler is in a vanilla relationship with Brian but knows he needs more. He's been visiting an Internet chat room, talking and confessing his secret desires. Then woken from sleep he finds himself attacked, bound hooded and prepared for what appears to be rape. However, someone knows his desires and intends to explore and exploit them...learning about his own needs in the process. A good three stars....with good standard of English too. I will be looking for more of A J Hardcourt's writing.

I had just a little extra time. I didn't feel like starting something in which I wouldn't get very far, nor did I want to reread part of a favorite. This extreme short was the perfect little filler. In the end, it was a sweet, hot, tension filled sex scene. If that is what you are in the mood for than this will fit the bill nicely. If you are looking for a full on story for your $, then this isn't it.
A man steps out of his comfort zone to give his love what he needs, and he did it safely. It is BDSM light, so if squeamish or sensitive to it this story shouldn't be a problem.

☆ rounded up to ★

How can a book about simulated rape keep the reader yawning? Seriously? An interesting skill for an author! Short & shitty...bondage didn't sound anatomically possibly for anyone not made of rubber...couldn't work out who was doing what to whom...characters were unlikable...thank god it was so short.

I want to give this somewhere between 3.5 stars and 4 stars simply because it was hot and steamy and fun but also started out a little creepy. But, for a 27-page short story without any real plot, you do get a nice feel for the two main characters and want to know more about them and their relationship. That was a nice surprise.

Not a bad, short, loving, BDSM scene, medium-grade.

I read this several months ago and reread it for the review because, despite remembering the basic twist, I couldn't remember any details. It just wasn't very memorable... not enough character development.

A quick sexy read.

Interesting story. Don't mistake this for a plot driven story...it is about the sex. There is a committed couple but it is still a change up in their sex life. I enjoyed it but it was just that.

A very short scene. Kyler's sleep is interrupted by two men with sex toys and he has a secret fantasy come true.
