Fiction, essays, and observations about the art of discipline, from Cassandra (Sandy) Park, New York City's number one specialist on what bad boys and girls really need. Ms. Cassandra, a writer who's been in the kink community for over 25 years, talks about her experience of moving from being exclusively a bottom to eventually owning her "inner sadist" and relishing her domme side.
"I've always played hard, and I've used a lot of what has pushed my buttons as a bottom in my own topping scenes. But I kept wondering if I was "just" a service domme, just doing it because it was what would please someone else, rather than pleasing myself.
"Over time, I began to see and accept my role as a domme. Now I feel a thrill within me to be able to control a scene, the knowledge that if I ask a sub to do something, he probably will, and if I ask a sub to take what I'm about to give him, he probably will. I like being a little 'cruel to be kind.' ... I watch the suffering of the sub and I get pleasure out of it. I want to see how much he can take."
This eBook is a fully revised version of the 2010 print publication, with new stories, new essays, and several guest blogs from bottoms who have had the pleasure of playing with Ms. Cassandra.
