Pretty Please With a Cherry On Top

“I don’t know why I like this, but I do”.

This is what the narrator of “The Sub Fairy” by Mercy Loomis ponders after discovering that she likes her husband to give her permission to have an orgasm.

And this is just one example of many scorching hot stories in Rachel Kramer Bussel’s  new anthology Please, Sir.

Who can really explain why they like to be ordered around, or why they like a firm hand? Or paddle? Or belt?

Rachel touches on possible reasons in the introduction to the book.

The lesson there, and in all of these stories, is that there is risk involved in submission. I don’t mean the physical risks, but the emotional ones, the ones that require a leap of faith, a knowledge that what you are doing may unnerve you, confuse you and scare you, even while it makes you wet and eager and ready for more. As we see in Shanna Germain’s opening story, “Anticipation,” merely thinking about what he might do next, playing with power in one’s own mind, can yield profound results.

Indeed surrender can be a very sexy thing.

Look out for my full review of Please, Sir coming soon. For now, enjoy the book trailer. You can purchase here.
