After a twenty year marriage a husband finds his wife cheating on him. He decides to leave. She begs him not to leave.  For Gina (their kid).  He's angry. She's begging. He tells her that she will obey him in all matters because he doesn't trust her. If she fails, he will leave and in a few years tell their daughter why.  She agrees to obey him.

An angry little story filled with angry sex.  He's a mixture of turned on and enraged. She's a mixture of turned on and ashamed/disgusted. He fucks her a lot.  Angrily.  End story.

I found the story on Smashwords. Hadn't played on there before.  Found that I could search for BDSM stories and, coincidence, I had a BDSM challenge over on GoodReads.  This story was the first one on the BDSM list of free stories.  Newest upload.

I'm not exactly sure how, though, this fits into BDSM. There's domination and submission, but twisted. He doesn't really want to dominate her, and she doesn't really want to submit. There's rough sex, but rough sex in and of itself doesn't equal BDSM.

I don't know what to say.  Ok-ish story. Didn't arouse much in the way of interest from me. I read it more because it was there than because I thought I might like it. Writer was competent, but competent in writing about something I didn't really want to read.  The consequences of a cheating wife. Angry and betrayal. Begging and submission. Not really that interesting to me.

This story gave me brief pause, a brief moment of frustration.  A moment when I thought it was going to be like all the others vaguely similar set-ups.  A dominant strong woman who ends up being taught to be a submissive.  But that didn't happen.  And a little light somewhat went off in my head, as the saying goes.  A lot of BDSM stories frustrate and annoy me because of that dynamic.  Plus the simple fact that there are so few dominate women out here in the BDSM fiction world. Who actually work are Mistresses.  I've seen a few, but they are almost always side characters.

Hmm. Exit to Eden had one, a Mistress who was more of a switch than a dominant. The Office Trilogy by N.T. Morley had a side character who was allowed, at times, to be dominate (and another who the reader was teased with the idea she was, but most of her scenes were off-stage). Yvonne: A Courtesan's Compulsion had a rather interesting female dominate, and probably one of the main reasons I gave that one as much as 3 stars. But she very much was a side character.  Only a brief moment on stage. I initially overrated Being the Submissive - Lesbian BDSM Erotica for the mere fact that it was the first time one of the main characters was a female Mistress with a female submissive. Point of view of the submissive, though. Morley's Library series flirted with the idea of a dominant female character, but mostly just teased the reader with her.

So, long and short of all these words is the simple little matter that I might again have overrated because of a female dominate with a female submissive, though I don't think so. Finally, I found a story from the point of view of a female dominate.  And it made me happy, it did.  I suspected that this was the reason BDSM works kept frustrating me.  Nice to know my suspicions were correct. Too bad there really isn't a F/f genre in published form.

Though, now that I think about after using that 'F/f', there are stories in the past I've read in that genre. I didn't think of them while going through what I'd read since those had been free stories strewn among hidden pockets of the internet.

A funny collection of essays. Probably would have been 5 star worthy with fewer scenes of vomiting, and if the obsession with poo was dialed back. 

Was more than vaguely amusing. Had some moments of laughing and giggling.
