"'C' Is for Control" by Dulcinea (Dulcinea97@aol.com). Dulcinea almost invariably labels her stories as "romantic," but she omitted the "rom" from the alphabet soup in the title line of this story. She should have left it in.

Briefly, the man comes home from a hard day of frustration. His wife recognizes this; and instead of pampering him, she makes him indulge her by becoming her sex slave for the evening. A good time is had by all.

This is my kind of bdsm. To be honest, I have never done it the way the couple do it in this story - I honestly find the spanking to be a bit of a turn-off. You can call it a hang-up, but I just don't like hitting or being hit. {Some people don't like anal sex; I do. Some people do like spanking; I don't. It's no big thing. It's simple preference, probably based on something in our backgrounds.} What Dulcinea does well is present mild bdsm in a context that makes the story appear sexy both to people who are already bdsm hobbyists and to those who have reservations.

The preceding paragraph may have been needlessly preachy. This is a very good story!
