About the Editor

INTRODUCTION: THE MANY MEANINGS OF SUBMISSION

S
ubmission means so many different things to different people, which is why I'm delighted to present to you sixty-nine varieties of serving, spanking, obeying, taunting, teasing, worshipping and more. These very short stories offer a glimpse into the mindset of those who live to serve, who desire to be bound or spanked or told what to do—or perhaps all three. They get off on giving themselves over to the men and women who control them, whether in the bedroom or the world beyond.

When the narrator of Corrine Arundo's “Unanchored” is ordered to masturbate, the “submissive vixen” shares some of the magic of the command: “I love the words, like sharp pokes into my cerebral cortex, tricking me into forgetting everything else but
this moment.” In many of these stories, a pet phrase or command is enough to trigger the submissive's desire.

What many of these submissives want is to be seen, acknowledged, known and valued precisely for their eagerness to give every part of themselves over to another person. “I want to never be able to hide from you,” Joy Faolán writes in “I Want to Feel You,” which perfectly encapsulates the way the tops in these stories exhibit their mastery from the inside out.

You'll find so much here, from naughty professors to sadistic former students to sex clubs, art galleries, photo shoots and more. Wherever the setting, the submission exhibited in these stories runs deep, far below the surface of the recipients' tender skin, far louder than their cries of pleasure (and pain). Whether you read one story a day or devour them all at once, I hope these quick and dirty stories turn you on to new authors and new naughty possibilities.

I WANT TO FEEL YOU

Joy Faolán

I
want to feel you.

Not just physically. I don't just want to feel your cock inside my cunt or your hand in my hair or your breath hot upon the shell of my ear as you whisper to me. I do want those things, but I want
more
than those things. What I want is deeper and bigger than us both.

I want to feel your power from across the room. I want to know, when I feel your eyes digging into the back of my head and your gaze chasing me through the crowds and finding me despite my attempts to hide from you, that I've become the object of your desire. I do not want to feel that I am someone you have to convince of something. I don't want you to “hit” on me. I don't want you to walk up to me and charm me or tell me jokes or offer to buy me a drink. It's not that I don't
enjoy that sort of behavior. I take it as a compliment when men do this to me, but you and I both know that there is something much better, much more
powerful,
to be had. I want you to pursue me. I want you to hunt me down and make me your own. I want to know that you are convinced that you own me long before I even decide if I
want
you. I want to be your
prey.
