Highs and lows Standing in the atrium of the city skyscraper, Ava stared nervously out of the window, fiddling. Chasms of sheet lightning rent the leaden sky and the winter rain curtained down, electric flashes fashioning a scintillating portcullis of electric wire. The weather reflected her mood, remembering how she had abandoned Lorenzo, at their wedding. Now she was standing here, in his office, having driven hundreds...

Changing sides Josie sighed. She hadn’t intended to tell Ava but there was no going back now. She might as well know the whole truth. “Yes, I’m married. To Ben, who you met tonight. My parents were, are, very rich. But they’re also very strict. Ben and I got married in a high society wedding in Monaco, believe it or not.” “This is all getting a bit weird, Josie. But if you’re married to Ben, how come you go to The Den? Wh...

The barn Since Ava jilted Lorenzo at their wedding it had been tough. Her parents forgave her, eventually, but only by explaining in light terms some of the milder submissive sexual activities she had practiced with Lorenzo, repositioned as him coercing her into depraved sexual acts. Ava felt incredibly guilty in making out Lorenzo was some sort of sexual control freak, as she’d freely given her consent, but she could see...

Acceptance Ava spent the next few days with her mind in turmoil. Her head told her to leave Lorenzo, to find someone who could love her for who she felt she was, a sexual submissive. Not what they wanted her to be, a slave at their beck and call. But every time she thought of the things Lorenzo had done to her, her anger and aversion was overcome by her heart, racing with the anticipation of what she’d felt when he’d perf...

The restaurant They drove down along the coast road in his Alfa Romeo Spider. The light was stunning, with the sun's morning rays shimmering off the sea and the whole beach area permeated with the smell and sound of the surf. Ava's hair rolled in chestnut waves in the breeze as he guided the beautiful sports car expertly at speed along the warm highway. Lorenzo had booked a table for them for a late lunch at a bright sunn...

Preparation As the car passed by the familiar city buildings Ava came to a momentous decision. This meeting would obviously change everything for her future. For her compliance to Lorenzo's will. The start of a whole new life path, leading her towards becoming a true slave for her one chosen master, if she agreed to the conditions he gave her, of course. Being honest with herself, this is what Ava believed she needed, in...

The big question Ever since Ava was young, she’d felt an emptiness inside her. It exhibited itself in an unconscious desire to please men, something that that went well beyond being a good and responsive sexual partner. That summer she was reading a magazine when she found an article that stopped her in her tracks. About Alpha submissives. “An Alpha submissive female can only be attracted to a strong, powerful, confident...

The test That week Ava and Lorenzo entered a frantic new period in their relationship, one of enthusiastic experimentation on each other’s bodies. Increasingly, they also began to discuss far more complex BDSM. They jointly ordered more online equipment purchases, thoroughly enjoying trying out new things, to research sensitively their individual personal limits to both pleasure and pain. This meant careful preparation th...

Homework That Friday at lectures, Ava told Lorenzo she wouldn’t be coming round that weekend. She was staying in to do some reading and research. He’d looked at her knowingly and smiled, kissing her hand. Back at home in her own small apartment, Ava’s thoughts were still in wild confusion. It was one day on from the powerful spanking session that had been so surprising and yet incredibly erotic and freeing. Stripping out...

Submission As so often happens in college, things moved on rapidly between Lorenzo and Ava, and her sexually arousing library experience encouraged her to go on the pill. In those early, heady days of their relationship, she spent much of her time at his. They became lovers inside two weeks, spending hours relentlessly exploring each other’s bodies, valuable time when they should both have been working on the assignments...

Return Ava stood gazing out of the tall broad office window, surveying the bustling city. She had to admit the view from this vantage point, thirty floors up, was magnificent. She walked closer towards the smoked glass, peering at the small figures moving around the busy streets below. Her heart skipped a beat, feeling the sense of vertigo she’d experienced as a child, times when her father had taken her climbing in the s...
