Winner Of The National Leather Association's 2008 Pauline Reage Novel
Award!
Take two caring, thoughtful individuals with some highly unusual sexuality,
let their paths cross, and watch how far their obsession takes them. That's the
essence of this story about an intense bdsm relationship: extreme, loving,
creative, steeped in imagination, embedded in the real world. What emerges
is a passionate, private sexual reality, in which the balance of power tips
only one way.
Maia and Anders want nothing less than total power exchange, without
games, negotiations or safewords. Any pretence is out of the question; for
both of them the power relationship has to be as genuine as it is absolute, but
Anders is more than aware of the risks to inexperienced Maia if she should
be wrong about what she can handle. Early on, he steers a careful line
between games and gobbling her up. His ownership is established step by
step through conditioning, painful consequences, humiliation and constant
bondage, and before long, Maia finds walking away has become
inconceivable.
Anders keeps his slave increasingly 'like an animal on a very short tether'
something to which she struggles to adjust, in a continuous state of terror
and joy, his love of technology takes some interesting turns, particularly
around orgasm control, teasing and denial. The intensification of Maia's
enslavement is balanced by the pair's affection, sense of humour and
intelligent conversation, and by the real world of work and friends. Some of
these friends become integrated into the meage one way and another, and
help Anders create the setting in which Maia's uttermost submission can
flower.

As She’s Told – Anneke Jacob
Chapter One
Shadow
The flotsam on the front desk didn't need any more rearranging. I'd done
that three times already, with hands more tense and jittery by the second.
Each impatient tick of the clock nudged me; I wanted to heed the exit sign's
word of command and get out the door. At last my colleague of the
afternoon shift arrived to relieve me. Dear Vera. Five minutes late, again.
Before her coat was off I had her filled in: assorted information requests, a
new student coming in at three, and that shipment of energy-saver kits only
half processed. I hoped she'd put my breathlessness down to irritation. If she
did, there was no flicker of an apology; there never was. She just nodded her
imperturbable head and went to hang up her coat. I struggled a little
awkwardly into my boots, straightened, took a couple of much-needed
breaths and flung my coat on. Then I was through the door; under the clock
and exit sign and into the snowy street.
The sun was glittering on patches of brilliant white on the roofs and
windowsills. The snow at street level was the colour of car exhaust. It was
ten after one and the temperature had inched above freezing. I just avoided a
wet attack from the tree branches above me. Later the sidewalks would be
pure ice. Not my problem.
I heard the streetcar before I saw it – that unmistakable metallic roar
accelerating through the traffic noise – and cursed under my breath. The
spreading puddles around the curb were ankle-deep. No time for
circumnavigation; I splashed through regardless.
Luckily the light turned red and caught the streetcar for me. I searched
with a little edge of panic for my token, the one thing in my possession
resembling money. Oh, I couldn't have lost it…no… Then I felt it, wedged
into the furthest corner of my pocket, and the red tide receded. At that time
of day there were empty seats; I perched on one with care, trying to pant
quietly. My ribs strained against tight bands, leather pressing into my flesh.
But I wouldn't be late.
Research questions and collegial irritation trailed after me for a block or
two, and then fell behind in the slush of the streetcar's wake. My covert body
inventory took over instead: a check on each hidden place held captive. Held

as if by hard, untiring, single-minded hands. The heat under my usual
simmer turned up a notch, and then another. I sat quietly, looked out the
window and hoped for the hundredth time that no one on the streetcar could
read minds. The three blocks from the streetcar stop had to be taken more
easily; I didn't want to be sweating when I walked through the door. Traffic
noise receded behind me; I threaded through quiet residential sidewalks,
between snow neatly piled or left in slushy ridges, past the driveway and up
the walk. I let myself in, and closed the door behind me. Then I sank to my
knees.

Anders got into his pickup. In the house behind him was a deconstructed
kitchen, half a truckload of cabinetwork, and his crew sprawled on tile
boxes, eating their lunch with the radio cranked to Q-1-0-Zeppelin. He
pulled his laptop out from under the passenger seat and booted it up, angling
it so that passers-by couldn't see the screen. Sandwich in one hand, he
pressed some keys with the other, stroked the mouse, and made a careful
check on his property. The phone on his belt bleeped.
"Thygesen," he said.
"Hey big brother!"
"Hey Svend! Are you back? How was Greece?"
"Really good. Fantastic, actually. Invite me to dinner and I'll tell all. The
guy who sublet left the place in a nightmare – "
"Let me take you out. You want Italian?"
"Ugh, no, I'm sick of restaurants. Haven't you got some new dishes to
try out on me? Or this new girlfriend of yours, does she cook?"
"Um – no, actually." Anders looked at the figure on the screen,
retreating out of range. He switched to a different image, and watched her
breasts framed between her arms as she passed through a doorway into
brighter light. "Svend – not tonight."
"Oh, come on. I'll even do the shopping. Don't you want to show me
this house of yours?"
"There's something I'm going to have to explain before you come over."
"What? What's wrong?"
"Nothing's wrong; it's just –"
"Wait a minute…. Something tells me…. You kinky degenerate, you
got lucky, didn't you?"
