The Story of Odette - Product Description

Her ordinary devotion to her lover now took on a new form which pleased her; she was happy to suffer so that she could satisfy the companion with whom she had linked her life without recrimination or regret. And moreover, the shame of being corrected as a little girl might be nurtured between them a delicious, amorous secret which united them the more. Rene's sentiments evolved in the same manner; this young woman whom he held bent under his arm was indeed his possession. Of this he had the tangible proof in her docility in bearing pain; moreover, he had the clear sensation of dominating her with all his male power. Soon exhausted by this excessive physical action, he set her down on the floor and breathlessly turned around to seat himself in his armchair again. Odette stood there motionless, trembling, her skirts lifted, caressing with a timid hand her swollen and inflamed bottom. She didn't know what method to use to alleviate the acute burning, and so contented herself momentarily by rubbing her moist palm over the naked flesh. She was sobbing and with her free hand she tried to wipe away the tears which ran down her cheeks.

Monsieur Fontaine's Establishment - Product Description

Toward the northern end of Courtney Street, in New York City, one can find —or could find in years gone by—the antique shop run by Monsieur Andre Fontaine. From the street it was an innocent-looking establishment. But the room behind the shop was given over to a business far less prosaic and more lucrative than antiques—for M. Fontaine was a man whose slogan, in business as in pleasure, was: Everyone to his own taste. The customer would come in, select a mask from a cabinet, which contained a stock of them, and ring for the attendant. When the latter arrived through another door, which led to the chambers of Paradise and which was always locked, the client, assured by the mask that his identity was a secret, would inform the attendant of the particular joys desired. It was not long before Patrolman Walsh, the policeman on the 8:00 P.M. to 4:00 A.M. beat, noticed the unusual nocturnal activities at M. Fontaine's establishment and decided to investigate. What he discovered were goings-on that shocked even him. How he, and his equally jaded superiors, dealt with the scandalous situation will enlighten one and all on the pregnant matter of “law and order.”
