Power Play: No Pain, No Pleasure!

Description

"A great combination of eroticism and storytelling that has something for everyone."- Dark Haven Book Reviews Twenty sizzling stories where control is everything. Whether you like to wear the trousers or be ordered out of them, these stories will have you a slave to your fantasies in no time. Every kind of sexual domination and submission is explored in Power Play, from tongue-in-cheek role play to intense BDSM. In Power Lunch , Claudia is very much in control, not just of her own business, but her toyboy secretary Patrick, while in K D Grace's story, Penny can't get enough of her ex-military personal trainer who's still very much dishing out the orders, both at the gym and in the bedroom! These stories reveal the lives of the 'slaves' and their 'masters' and those who like to swap roles. Acting Tough by Landon Dixon This gumshoe needed a case to work, bad. The Depression wasn't just a financial reality any more, it was a state of mind - his. Hollywood was still shining bright, but he was a reel away from fade to black. Until into his mug moseyed Mack Taylor, he-man star of 145 Rancho Pictures westerns. Push quickly came to shove, and big, tough, rugged Mack Taylor went submissive, as compliant as a bridled sheep, gayer than a Busby Berkeley show-stopper. But the film star had a case, and this dick was all over it. Counting to Ten by Elizabeth Cage Her master always makes her count when he spanks her, and during this latest punishment, she finds herself reminiscing how things have to come to this. When he first asked to strip in a public car park, she had resisted, but only for as long as it took her to realise she'd never been more turned on. Humiliation, pain, total surrender - who'd have thought all these things could bring so much pleasure? No Reservations by Alana James A first-class spanking in standard class ...Paul loathes having to sit in standard class on the train, and feels smugly superior to everyone else in the crowded carriage.

The Best Laid Plans by Alex Jordaine Jacqui's seriously got the hots for Anne, the woman she's temporarily lodging with. She's resolved to have sex with her before leaving her home even though she knows Anne's happily married. It's now or never because Jacqui's due to move out tomorrow morning, and she pulls out all the stops to seduce her. But Anne's having none of it and punishes Jacqui severely for showing such temerity. Jacqui's never experienced such pain. But with the pain comes intense pleasure. She finds herself wanting - no, craving - more punishment from Anne, who certainly doesn't disappoint. Coated by Kay Jaybee Haunted by an image he saw in a porn film as a teenager, he has been on the hunt to find a woman to help him realise that fantasy ever since. When he encounters the silent woman on the bus, he knows that he has found the perfect partner to fulfil his dream; but what disciplines will he have to endure before she allows him to become fully coated...Personal Trainer by K D Grace Penny Davis can't afford to hire a personal trainer to get her fit for bikini season until ex-military hard man, Hawk Sturgis, offers her an unorthodox fitness regimen and an even more unorthodox payment plan, guaranteed to have her heating up the beach in her new bikini just in time for the summer hols. Support Your Local Store by Alex Severn Lazy Sunday mornings are usually pretty much the same, but this particular one is different beyond Gareth's wildest fantasies. Throw in a stunningly sexy older blonde, a dominant young brunette and the local store, and the ingredients are all there for the hottest outing to pick up a newspaper there's ever been! Corner shops really must survive - they provide such a personal service. Waiting in Vein by Giselle Renarde Julie is an impatient sub who's always got an eye on the next sexual adventure. Her domme, Elsha, drives her crazy - not only does she dress like a pioneer, but she's tortoise-slow in doling out the pain. When Julie asks Elsha to get involved in a little knife play, Elsha refuses. Kitchen knives are unsanitary for cutting, she claims; razor blades are better. But, tied up and blindfolded, can Julie really tell what's happening to her body? Or is she at the mercy of Elsha's power of suggestion? The Next Step by Jeanette Grey Quiet, bookish Cynthia is not the type of woman who would wear a short skirt out in public, much less her metal-studded leather play collar.

The Initiation of Lily by Angel Propps In a small house there is a hidden staircase that leads to a dungeon where women play.

Power Lunch by Rachel Kramer Bussel Claudia has never been able to take orders - in or out of the bedroom - so it's hardly a surprise that she's ended up running her own business. And one of her favourite perks of being the boss? Having her own personal assistant to cater to her every whim. Of course it helps that her PA, Patrick, is both well-endowed and a natural submissive, making him highly qualified for the position, or should that be positions...? Amy by Alex Severn It was putting temptation in her way, asking her to keep an eye on her 19-year-old neighbour, Joe - especially when he invites a group of equally hunky friends around for a party. What's a woman supposed to do after all? She's been thinking of taking a younger man for a while and now she's got a chance to have not just one but two - and right on her doorstep! Would they do anything she wanted? There really was only one way to find out ...Highland Games by Bimbo Ross Ian and Carrie are looking forward to their camping holiday in the north of Scotland, as well as catching up on the games they've missed due to their busy work schedules over the previous months.

The Uninitiated Bottom by D L King Laura has always been a top, even before she knew what that was. Her friend, Frank, taught her about power and how to play with boys. He taught her pretty much everything she knows. An innocent breakfast conversation starts the wheels inexorably turning. Now, he's going to teach her something else; he's going to teach her how to be a bottom, whether she's ready or not. Split by Shanna Germain Prose doesn't come around as much as Pater would like. She's got things to do and places to be. But when she does return, she always brings something wonderful and dangerous. This time, she comes equipped with secret knowledge and a secret weapon that will make him kneel before her. It's a reminder that Pater may rule the Underworld, but he will never, ever rule its Queen. Trust Me by Jade Melisande Elizabeth has always loved the games that Eric plays, whether they involve pain or pleasure, but she's never allowed him to bind her - until today.

Can Belladonna chastise him enough to bring him into line? Belladonna is an expert at what she does, so do not doubt for a minute who is in charge...Slam Me Down by Thomas Fuchs It's so annoying when a stud you've crushed on the wrestling mat has trouble delivering the prize that's rightfully yours.

Alex Jordaine is the UK's leading Femdom author and is also a regular contributor to 'Marquis', the most read fetish magazine in the world. In his highly acclaimed 'Mistress' series of books, all of them published by Xcite Books, powerful women are firmly in charge. They control the pleasure and men are there to serve and obey them. All the books in this ongoing series have been published as both paperbacks and e-books. They are also all 'one-offs', so they can be read in any order. 'I thoroughly enjoy turning the usual stereotypes on their head in my writing,' Alex says, 'as well as exploring the psychology of submission, the joys and perils of the BDSM lifestyle, and the redemptive power of love. This last is worth mentioning because, for books so full of graphic discipline, bondage and domination, they are essentially love stories.' Stories by Alex Jordaine have also been included in various collections of BDSM, gay, lesbian and general themed erotica, also all published by Xcite Books. Twelve of his most tantalizing tales have been anthologized in the collection 'Sweet Torments: The Best of Alex Jordaine'.
