Venus in Hell: The Bull of Heaven

There's no such thing as "no strings attached" in the Venus in Hell cycle.

Success came easily to Alan Brooks, but nobody knows that his power over the world comes directly from the Wall. To Alan, the Wall is everything. His obsession with the Wall gives meaning to his life... even as it leads to his ultimate destruction.

The Bull of Heaven is a short story that takes place in Valerie Dahmersdottir's Venus in Hell cycle, where submission is the only pathway through desire, but every desire is dominated by masters without mercy.
