D.L. King, acclaimed erotica author and editor, brings you the anthology Under Her Thumb: Erotic Stories of Female Domination. Packed full of tales of female domination and those who live to serve, this book is pure Femdom at its very best. Knowing how to dominate, the women portrayed command attention and know exactly what their lover’s need and crave.

Each of the 21 stories is an erotic journey through the world of Femdom that you’re sure not to soon forget.

Mordi, a well respected female rope bondage rigger, sets the tone for Under Her Thumb in the forward. Sharing her insights into being a dominate women, she unveils the often unspoken conflict that arises when embracing your dominate side.

She is a towering idol and a derided caricature. Her presence is desired and denied.

She is glorified and complicated beyond her reality and debases and reduced in spite of her truth.

Her true form, however, stands quietly in the stillness, in the eye of the storm; a storm of opinion, fear, lust, anger,  misogyny, feminism, sexism, power, media, myth, fantasy, religion, arousal, guilt, passion, mistrust, awe, anxiety and yearning. She is the dominate woman.

The opening story Quite by Andrea Zanin, gives you a peek into the world of exhibitionist. At an event she is on display, although her desire, is for him to be the focus of attention. Dressed up he offers himself to her and everyone is there to watch. Purple whelps peeking out from under his skirt are his to proudly wear. Yet, she wrestles with whether or not to keep attending. Desiring to make him feel special after the night’s fun, she pulls him and lets sweet release come before gently caressing his hair as he drifts off to sleep.

She slowly strokes the shaved thickness of his chest, the motion almost creates a purr. She plays her finger tips and soft scratches of her nails against his sensitive nipples, hers his breath go deep as she draws them toward her, twists her knuckles around them, pulls and kneads until she’s stretching his skin into painful points of burning, hurting pleasure. Even in the dark, she can see his arching erect cock making a distorted shape underneath the knee-length black skirt he donned for the evening.

In Hound and Hare, by D.L. King herself, you never who you might meet in a bar and what may unfold latter. For Tom, it was his first mistress. Learning to that he loves to submit himself, Tom is taken on a journey of exploration.

Of course, I knew what turned me on, but watching him discover it, and discover it also tuned him on, seemed to be something very new for him. I suppose he’d been happy fucking the random girl, or being in vanilla relationships before. Somehow, he’d never realized what he really wanted – or maybe he had, but had never had the opportunity to act on it. So, my taking control ended up being a revelation for him.

In Blame Spartacus, by Laura Antoniou, watching Spartacus as a young teen as led to a life of desire to finally find her fantasies being lived out through her two men, Cody and Alvaro.

Tonight I made Alvaro wear the scarlet singlet, boots and collar… … “Next time you will fight harder,” I said, not sure whether it was a command, a threat or an observation. Then I turned back to Alvaro.

“So, gladiator, have you earned the right to pleasure me?” I asked. I stood over him like the conqueror I was – owner of male flesh and bones, director of my own games. He looked up at me from his knees, his eyes bright and cock rampant.

In The chill of Her Displeasure, by Veronica Wilde, closes this journey into the world of Female Dominance perfectly. Carmina and her friends have planned the perfect night to show off their slaves and even interview a few at their salon. On their best behavior the slaves serve their mistresses drinks. When Carmina’s slave Liam makes a mistake the consequences are sever. But when another slave Colton steps out of line, a night of relaxation turns unexpectedly into a play party.

“I’m sorry, Ma’am,” Colton says in an abashed voice that doesn’t fool her. “Good. Then you will be disciplined now, or not invited back.” Colton’s head jerks up with a startled expression. Carima snaps her finger. “Cross the room to the tool bench on your knees,” she commands. “Hands locked on the back of your neck. Then bring me that paddle, still on your knees.” …. …. “My arm is tired,” she says casually, placing the paddle in his hands. “I think it will be much more humbling for you if you spank him, Liam.” Colton’s dark eyes fill with outrage. Liam just looks stunned. “Go on, do as I say,” she orders. “Colton, bend over and grip the cross. And Liam, give it to him good.”
