Volume I: Coming Out on Top","description":"\u003cp\u003eFiction, essays, and observations about the art of discipline, from Cassandra (Sandy) Park, New York City's number one specialist on what bad boys and girls really need. Ms. Cassandra, a writer who's been in the kink community for over 25 years, talks about her experience of moving from being exclusively a bottom to eventually owning her \"inner sadist\" and relishing her domme side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"I’ve always played hard, and I’ve used a lot of what has pushed my buttons as a bottom in my own topping scenes. But I kept wondering if I was “just” a service domme, just doing it because it was what would please someone else, rather than pleasing myself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Over time, I began to see and accept my role as a domme. Now I feel a thrill within me to be able to control a scene, the knowledge that if I ask a sub to do something, he probably will, and if I ask a sub to take what I’m about to give him, he probably will. I like being a little ‘cruel to be kind.’ ... I watch the suffering of the sub and I get pleasure out of it. I want to see how much he can take.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis eBook is a fully revised version of the 2010 print publication, with new stories, new essays, and several guest blogs from bottoms who have had the pleasure of playing with Ms. Cassandra.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cassandra Park","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47121835720944,"sku":"2940033284894","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940033284894_p0.jpg?v=1763659709","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940033284894","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
