It's taking me awhile to get through this series, partially because it is so huge, but also because it has such meaty world building. There is so much to absorb, and I am reading other books in between the series in order not to get overwhelmed by th ...more | |

Well, I don't get it. I'm not smart enough to understand why this word salad is worthy a Pulitzer Prize and considered one of the greatest pieces of American literature of the 20th century. To me, it was a hot mess. I mean, yeah, I get that authors d ...more | |

“A Master is not someone who merely revels in the benefits that he reaps from the power and control that he wields over his sub. A Master is not just an automaton who emotionally doles out orders and watches with amusement as his minions perform his bidding. A Master is not a person who only relishes the benefits that his superior status entitles him.
Certainly all of these characteristics could and often do exist within a Master. He may be demanding and at times selfish. He may genuinely enjoy and even be aroused by the power that he has over a sub. He may be able to expertly control his emotions, issuing his commands and enforcing his discipline with stone-faced determination.
But a true Master, a Master such as Matt, was so invested in his sub that he was actually in a way a slave himself. He was a slave to his love for me. He was a slave to his responsibility. He was a slave to the passion and the commitment. He was a slave to his overwhelming desire to protect his property at all costs. He was a slave to his slave. I knew without questions that he loved me so much he'd literally lay down his life for me. He owned me, and his ownership owned him”
