I recently had the pleasure of reading Abigail Armani’s new novel, A Taste of Loving Discipline. As always, Abigail has provided a delightful cast of characters, from the free willed and stubborn protagonist to the unusually assertive dominant patiently pursuing her to the tactfully nosy neighbour. With all the personalities involved, it is no surprise … Continue reading Review: A Taste of Loving Discipline by Abigail Armani
“It’s just that I don’t think in terms of expecting anything from anyone.” -Seregil of Rhiminee* (I got a few worried messages the last time I visited this subject. Everything is fine- I'll try to explain again.) Learning to trust is hard. Particularly for the little things The big things are easy- for all those … Continue reading Independence, Revisted
*** Inspired by Don Croyle’s “Research Proposal” available at LSF *** “Kim! Thank goodness you’re back, I was just about to come looking for you. Didn’t you get my text?” a worried Jess asked as her roommate casually flopped down on her bed. “Oh, that, I’ve already taken care of it.” Kim replied nonchalantly, tossing … Continue reading The Experiment
Back when I first started this whole blogging thing, I came out to a vanilla friend. I was about to get together with a man I met online and needed someone to act as a safety call. It seemed a good idea to clue her in a bit, though this was not a decision undertaken … Continue reading The View from There

It was like a scene from a bad horror movie, or perhaps a video game. She had been cleaning, no- waging battle on, the apartment for the … Continue reading Much to Learn: Housewarming

While that wilfulness definitely has it's appeal, I'd like to say that it is far from a requirement in all cases. Submission does not always need to be a battle. There are dominants who … Continue reading A Quiet Kind of Fire
Her thoughts weren’t toiled or roiling, nothing as violent as that. Just gently lapping waves, unrelenting in their movement and somehow completely incapacitating. Her laptop screen remained blank before her, finally giving into the black darkness of electronic hibernation as her mind floated along with the music, each track dredging up new old memories from … Continue reading Finding Home
Kyria's story began here Kyria woke early the next morning. She mentally surveyed herself before she rose, surprised that she felt no different from the day before, other than the aching throb in her bottom, of course. But she was an apprentice now- the position she had sought for so many years was now hers. … Continue reading The Apprentice: Graduate Work, Part 1
Note: to some, the material to which I refer would be better described as “erotic literature.” However, as the line between the two is hazy at best, “pornography” is the term of choice for this particular rant as its connotation better suits my self-declared strop of a mood. Pornography can be a wonderful thing. Enjoyed … Continue reading The Evils of Pornography
Kara had wanted to be a watcher ever since she had first been allowed to attend the meets. She remembered frolicing around the great fire with the other children, caught up in the revelry, but she also remembered standing on the outskirts of the gathering. She had been enthralled by the sight of the watchfires … Continue reading Watchfire
