When a recently divorced and retired fortysomething ex-tax assessor is confronted by the African neighbour opposite regarding his profile on a fetish-site catering for men with a taste for the more assertive woman, this very private man is horrified. And then begins to feel differently when the widow from The Gambia points out that she might be just the non-threatening outlet he needs to experience his long-held-fantasies of submission to a powerful woman. Ways that eventually begin to seem a whole lot non-threatening when he takes the widow up on her offer and they agree on a temporary role-play arrangement. An arrangement the large, dominant, and extremely devious woman from Africa will use to suck him into her web until that temporary arrangement isn’t temporary at all. And neither will it be anywhere near role-play! Harland Emerson is the writer of “Obsessed in Thailand”.
