Foreword
hurts so good—at face value, it seems to be a contradic-
tion. But the art of power exchange—the heart and soul of
BDSM—is its own special type of alchemy, creating a dreamy
world where pain equals pleasure and bondage means freedom.
Consider the position a submissive willingly puts himself in:
bound and helpless, facing all of his dreams and fears as well as
his mistress’s lash. Nevermind the leather—clothed or naked,
he is stripped down to his most basic physical and emotional
needs in his quest to relinquish control and expose himself to an
extreme range of feelings and sensations.
As time seems to slow, drawing out the moments between
beats of his heart, he confronts his warring desires and his
world is reduced to what she allows him to experience: the snug
embrace of his restraints, the ticklish tease of her fingernails
being drawn across his flesh, the hot rush of her breath against
the back of his neck. Anticipation is a heady elixir, whetting his
erotic appetite even as nervousness swells inside him.
viii hurts so good
Without warning, the snap of leather against skin offers a
loud report, like a bright flash of lightning before the rumbling
thunder strike. A split second later, the impact of that expertly
placed lash resonates as a sharp spark within him, the heat
building as she takes him higher and higher with each additional
stroke.
And as he accepts her gift of pain—testing his will and striving
toward the bliss of release—he is the furthest thing from weak.
It takes tremendous strength, resolve and trust to put your-
self completely in the hands of another person—one whom you
know with absolute certainty is going to push your limits, physi-
cally and emotionally. But it’s this swirl of sensations and feelings
that combine in a perfect storm of kink and makes the seemingly
impossible not only occur, but happen in a way that creates a
sexy good time for everyone involved. As the editor of Pent-
house Variations™ magazine, I receive letters every day from
readers who not only understand these seemingly conflicting
worlds but experience their pleasures first-hand.
The sensual stories that Alison Tyler has assembled in this
collection delve into the dynamics of relationships filled with
such unrestrained passion, revealing a world of beautiful contra-
dictions that will thrill and inspire you.
Some of these tales show how the everyday can be instantly
transformed into pulse-quickening moments laced with eroticism.
Sommer Marsden’s “Panty Lines” and Jay Lawrence’s “Provo-
cation” reflect the experiences of couples that work episodes of
power play into their daily lives, momentarily enjoying the thrill
of the game and then returning to their usual roles.
Other stories in this anthology, like Morgan Aine’s “Party
Manners” and Xan West’s “First Time Since,” reveal the
emotions at play beneath more intense D/s relationships. These
authors tell tales of deeply passionate experiences, and the payoff
foreword ix
for these characters is directly commensurate with the depth of
their emotional investment. These darker fantasies complement
the light, allowing this collection to reveal a full spectrum of
experiences within the world of S/M.
Read through these sinfully decadent tales and let their
words wash over you. Each story will build upon the next, their
erotic episodes fleshing out a complex portrait of passion as they
embrace the pleasurable paradox of kink and its many luscious
possibilities.
