Her Wish is Your Command: Twenty-One Erotic Fem Dom Stories Paperback – February 7, 2014

Great read

Thank you

hooray for D.L. King!!!!

D.L. King is probably best known as the editor of several award-winning erotica anthologies. She is also a superb erotic raconteur in her own right, and this collection of twenty-one well-crafted short stories reveals an impressively prolific and perceptive artist with a teeming and colorful imagination.Bondage, female domination and voyeurism are the author’s unifying themes, whether pursued as a profession (“The Tao of Lust”, “Mistress of Carabas”) or spiritual passion (“Perhaps—A Worthy Offering”), a lark for curious tourists (“A Different Kind of Reality Show”, “Private Viewing”), therapy (“Mr. Smith, Ms. Jones Will See You Now”), or the creative pastime of adventurous married couples (“Festival of Lights”, “Big Night”). King has a gift for revealing the sensual essence of the commonplace.Most of these stories feature contemporary urban settings. King is very much at home in the clubs and converted loft apartments of Brooklyn. Her characters are more often than not relatably bourgeois, occupying a world somewhere halfway between the sterile high-rise heaven of New York’s most extravagant conspicuous consumers, and the ant-like working stiffs who struggle in the streets below, whose unstinting—and mostly unremarked—efforts truly make the city run.One of the most imaginative, deeply engaging stories in the collection—one of the best I’ve read in some time, in fact—is the absolutely superb “Perhaps—A Worthy Offering”; atypical in terms of setting and atmosphere, it delves more deeply into spiritual and philosophical space, while offering delightfully sensuous entertainment as well.“Some say Melinoe and Hecate are one and the same. Some say she was the daughter of Persephone and Zeus, the co-mingling of light and darkness. Still others say she is the darker aspect of the goddess Aphrodite. Which do you believe, boy? Do you hear the whispers and far-off screams of ghosts, or is it your own whispers and screams you hear?”“Please, mistress.”Mistress Susan, in a black and white gown that shimmered in the light of the torches on the walls, continued to caress Gregory’s smooth chest and prominent nipples with the flat of her blade.“I like thinking of her as the dark side of love and beauty. Please what? I’m beginningto think you’re not paying attention.”Gregory screamed as the blade pricked him under his left nipple. A small amount of blood began to flow.“Oh honestly, don’t be such a baby.” She licked the blood from his chest, swirling her tongue around the nub of flesh, which continued to stiffen, and felt him shudder against both her mouth and his bonds.This is truly great stuff! The author, who admits to suffering a great deal from self-doubt, shows the rest of us how it ought to be done. So far from ordinary, her personal demons, hang-ups, worries, and divers doubts are akin to the irritations that ultimately produce pearls.Recommended.

I first became aware of D.L. King when I discovered her short story “Pick A Color” in a collection of femdom erotica titled “Please Ma’am”, edited by Rachel Kramer Bussel. In “Pick a Color” a submissive male foot fetishist applies for a job in a lady’s nail salon much to the amusement of the all female staff. The salon owner pairs him with a difficult customer who helps him realize the depths of his submissive nature when she invites him to her home for follow up pedicure appointments . In the collection “Yes Ma’am” I stumbled on an equally intriguing story titled “A Different Kind of Reality Show” in which a man signs up to provide stimulating entertainment for a bevy of anonymous ladies via webcam. Both stories enthralled me. I soon ended up purchasing D.L. King’s novels “The Melinoe Project” and “The Art of Melinoe”.I was very pleased to discover that a collection of her short stories had recently been published by Riverdale Avenue Books under the title “Her Wish Is Your Command”. I found some familiar favorites in this collection but also many stories I had never read before. Some new discoveries include Eve and Cute Boy; two characters that come to life on the page with authentic and explosive erotic energy. In “Let’s Dance” Eve seduces Cute Boy in a bar and brings him home to her well appointed loft in Brooklyn where she introduces him to the joys of bondage and submission. In “Cute Boy Gets Squeezed” the experimentation continues when Eve introduces Cute Boy to her roommate Nigel (a photographer specializing in kinky erotica) imprisons him in a vacbed and plies him with electrical stimulation. In “Mr. Smith, Ms. Jones Will See You Now” a loving wife gives her husband an appointment with a professional dominatrix as a birthday present. At the age of 55 he belatedly discovers the joy of submitting to a dominant woman proving you are never too old to live out your dreams. In “The Tao Of Lust” Mistress Carmen dominates 4 slaves via webcam, directing 4 orgasms simultaneously before seeing to her own.Why do I like D. L. King so much? Because she is the real deal; a female dominant with a ton of real world experience who writes astonishingly well. There is nothing forced or unnatural about her erotica. Her characters live and breathe on the page with dialogue that is snappy, evocative and often humorous. No matter how imaginative the fictional backdrops in her stories, the protagonists always comes across as genuine. D.L.King's love for femdom erotica is evident throughout this collection and she communicates that heat directly to the reader, combining personal experience and a fertile imagination to produce a collection of irresistible femdom short stories.If you have ever wanted to get inside the mind of a dominant woman and experience D/s from the other side of the whip reading “Her Wish Is Your Command” is an excellent place to start. As you read these stories you will discover that D.L. King is well acquainted with the submissive male mind and knows exactly what makes you tick.

D.L. King's Her Wish is Your Command is a collection of hot sexy encounters between experienced FemDoms and, often but not always, newbie male submissives.More a collection of vignettes than short stories, each piece helps readers build an understanding of why we (FemDoms and submissives) do what we do. D.L. King, herself a FemDom and experienced top, gives readers accurate and interesting perspectives into the dynamic's appeal. By exploring the thoughts and reactions of the participants, the collection allows readers to taste the psychology of why some women enjoy putting men on their knees and why many men want to be there.Pieces range from hookup encounters, to perverted sex between long-term partners; from hot action in which the participants never come into physical contact, to hands on, skin-to-skin climaxes. D.L. King also pushes the definition of exactly what constitutes sexual intercourse with every type of coitus you may have imagined and some you haven't.Written with equal skill from the perspective of both the FemDoms and their boys, the sex scenes are realistic and sizzling hot. Whether you just want to enjoy the physical fantasy or get a glimpse of how we think; whether you only find the FemDom dynamic tantalizing or you hope someday to try it for real; whether you've never thrown or felt the sting of a singletail or you're an experienced practitioner; you will find something to enjoy in this collection.
