This story is a somewhat bonkers, kinky soap opera with lots of sex and angst. It’s clearly a fantasy, and is intentionally "big" in tone, style and characterisation.

This story is NOT a "how-to" guide to BDSM. I do not enter into discussions about why people enjoy BDSM activities. If you want to know more, please visit sites like www.bondage.com.

If you don't like lifestyle BDSM stories, or you don't like the way *I* write lifestyle BDSM stories, then don’t read it. If you do like them, then slip into your leather harness and let's get started :-).
