Her first night there, she matches with an amazing man. Dark, mysterious, and totally anonymous, the man in the mask brings her to heights of pleasure she could only imagine in her darkest fantasies. Too bad Chloe’s mystery man is Jayson Reynolds. Arrogant billionaire. Notorious playboy. And Chloe’s boss. Her boss is the man who’s been making her fall to her knees, to call him sir, to bend over and beg for release as he spanks her hard. Chloe doesn’t even realize how much trouble she’s in. Because you know what they say about the truth. It always comes out. And when it does, Chloe will be begging for more than just pleasure. She’ll be begging for her heart.

    It is a collection of poignant stories told by the women themselves about how they were enslaved, how they ended up in there, what they think of it, and where they were before. A few are in love with him; an equal number are plotting to assassinate him. Most have dejectedly resigned themselves to being completely cut off from the world and confined in the suffocating environment of a harem.Some recount chilling stories, such as the one who used to belong to a sheikh who flunked out of medical school but decided to operate on people anyway. He set up a "clinic" in his basement, bought slave "patients," and regularly performed surgery. Of course, he butchered most of them, but he was able to indulge his desire. Or the one who had been in the laboratory of a scientist who experimented with gags, dildos, and body glues. The experiments kept going wrong and dozens of subjects had to be put down, but were immediately replaced by fresh ones. Or the fussy prince who owned a crocodile, and if his slaves didn't perform the way he wished, he would have them fed to the crocodile on the spot.Many tell similar stories of being lured with promises of glamorous jobs as models, musicians, or movie roles, then trapped and sold into slavery. Two actually entered servitude voluntarily. More than a few have gone quietly insane (violent insanity means a transfer elsewhere). Some responded to propositions online. Others were simply victims of opportunistic kidnappings. Fathers, brothers, step-fathers, law enforcement officers, clergy, school counselors, as well as professional traffickers, have all been involved in this unspeakable crime.

    If you are new to dominance, still figuring out just what it’s all about or what you want it to mean to you, then this book will provide you with a solid foundation from which to start. If you already practice dominance and are interested in improving your ability to create deep and lasting power dynamics then you’ll find many advanced concepts and concrete techniques to integrate into your own personal style. What consensual dominance means here is any kind of intentional, mutually desired, mutually fulfilling exercise of power and control between partners. There are a lot of different kinds of connections that fit that broad definition, and the fundamental principles that this book explores can be applied to any of them. So it should be just as valuable whether you practice dominance in occasional intense evenings within an otherwise egalitarian relationship, in a full-time power exchange relationship, in long distance or online relationships, in pick-up play with strangers at BDSM clubs, or anywhere else. This book also doesn’t assume that you fit any stereotype about what a person who dominates should look or act like. It looks at dominance as a practice -- as something that any person can learn to do, rather than something that some people are -- and it is meant for anyone with a desire to learn to practice dominance well. It is written to be accessible to absolute beginners, as well as to switches and primals and tops and mommies and daddies and bigs and masters and trainers and Goreans and heads-of-house and owners and label-defying powerplayers. (And don’t worry if you have no idea what any of those labels means – dominance has nothing to do with labels.) If you have an interest in the bedrock principles of inspiring, deepening, maintaining and enjoying control over a person who dearly, desperately wants you to control them, then this book is for you.

    Stranger still, the room is decorated as though it were meant for a small child but the bed is adult-sized. Her curiosity turns to shock when she discovers that not only is the nursery attached to a large stately home, but a man named Edward lives in the house and has apparently been expecting her. To make matters worse, when Kathryn demands an explanation of the situation, Edward merely pulls her over his lap, bares her bottom, and spanks her soundly. Lord Edward, the Earl of Kendrick, and Doctor Phillip Gates live together at Ferngrove Manor as both close companions and lovers. While they find deep happiness in their relationship, both men desire a woman to share and enjoy together, and thus they elected to contact Miss Pritchard’s Training School for Little Ladies in America to ask that a woman be sent to them. Though Edward and Phillip find the circumstances of Kathryn’s arrival odd, from the moment they meet her they are completely smitten by her beauty and her obvious need for discipline. She seems confused about some of the details of her contract with them, probably as a result of falling ill during her journey from America, but both men are confident in Phillip’s abilities as a doctor. It may require more than one thorough, intimate examination and a variety of treatments which Kathryn will no doubt find quite humiliating, but she’ll be healthy in no time. As she learns to be a good girl for Edward and Phillip—with the help of a bare-bottom spanking whenever she misbehaves—Kathryn finds that their firm discipline and loving care soothe a part of her that she’s kept hidden away her entire life. But is she truly prepared to leave behind her life in the twenty-first century and become their little girl?

    Deleuze's essay, certainly the most profound study yet produced on the relations between sadism and masochism, seeks to develop and explain Masoch's "peculiar way of 'desexualizing' love while at the same time sexualizing the entire history of humanity." He shows that masochism is something far more subtle and complex than the enjoyment of pain, that masochism has nothing to do with sadism; their worlds do not communicate, just as the genius of those who created them - Masoch and Sade - lie stylistically, philosophically, and politically poles a part. Venus in Furs, the most famous of all of Masoch's novels was written in 1870 and belongs to an unfinished cycle of works that Masoch entitled The Heritage of Cain. The cycle was to treat a series of themes including love, war, and death. The present work is about love. Although the entire constellation of symbols that has come to characterize the masochistic syndrome can be found here - fetishes, whips, disguises, fur-clad women, contracts, humiliations, punishment, and always the volatile presence of a terrible coldness - these do not eclipse the singular power of Masoch's eroticism.
