My husband and I have been dabbling in bondage for a while. Bathrobe ties around the wrists. Silk scarves to secure ankles at the corners of the bed. We’ve had a lot of fun figuring out what common household items can double as props for our kink. After a bit of experimenting, we both felt we had found our personal preferences and quirks. We had only one problem — we both craved a domme who would bring us to heel.

Enter Lady Xena, a commanding woman of Amazonian proportions. We met her during a visit to a sex club in the city, and after a bit of play and a lot of chatting, we realized she was what was missing from our sex life.

Although the club is a fun place to push boundaries, we quickly decided we would feel more comfortable submitting to Lady Xena in the privacy of our own bedroom.
