But something that even He couldn't expect happened...ReviewA BestReads Choice Awards Finalist for Best Newly Published BDSM Erotica"An explosive mix of passion and pain, of desire and fear. Watch this title, it has the potential to become a bestseller in the genre!"--Erotically Monthly From the Inside FlapHow well do you know your neighbour?Have you ever wondered what good old Harry and Marge are up to in the privacy of their home? There is an undercurrent in society that only those looking for an alternative ever see. It has grown over the years to the point it has reached today; a LifeStyle inhabited by many thousands, if not millions, of individuals from all walks of life that have come together for one purpose. Self-gratification takes many forms, but within the LifeStyle, it can be loosely broken down into two roles; Dominant and submissive.To be Dominant is to take the role of giver of pleasure and pain, to instruct, nurture, protect and bring order into the lives of those who offer themselves as a recipient of that domination.To be submissive is to give oneself over to receive all that a Dominant wishes and desires, in whatever form that may take. A submissive who encompasses the role totally will offer themselves completely, to the point where their free will is removed in favour of their Dominants' control. This level of submissiveness is not often seen, but it is becoming more prevalent as the "other" society they inhabit leaves them unfulfilled and/or dissatisfied.At first glance it appears that the role of Dominant would be the one of choice; however if one scratches beneath the surface of attitude, role-play and the often archaic mannerisms, then it soon becomes clear who wields the REAL power within the LifeStyle... for one to be Dominant, there must exist one who wishes to be submissive...These relationships, referred to as D/s (Dominant/submissive) within the movement, take many forms, ranging from the purely sexual to a lifetime commitment, all of which are acceptable within the LifeStyle, regardless of the activities in which those relationships choose to indulge. Whilst the common misconception of what is referred to as BDSM (Bondage, Domination, Sado-Masochism) is that it is all about whips and chains, in reality it goes much deeper than that. Those things are often involved, but it is the power of the mind of each individual that creates the overall effect, the head-games they play or allow to be played, ensuring that each of them gets something from the encounter or relationship.What you are about to read is a mixture of true experience and things waiting to happen.
