For some people there's nothing more appealing than the idea
of a man forced to serve against his will, as a second-class citizen: a slave.
Despite the dark history surrounding forced servitude and slavery, there remains
a growing desire for depictions of fetishized slavery fantasies. Like rape
fantasy, the appeal for readers in slave fiction lies not in a desire for the
actual act, but in the ability to explore such things in a safe space. Many
people harbor a secret wish to be forced into certain acts that they know they
want, but have been socially conditioned to abhor. Such is the core of the Serve
Me anthology. Be warned: these are not stories of consensual, negotiated power
exchange. The stories in this anthology focus on true sexualized, erotic
slavery: stories of men forced, coerced, or otherwise bound into a second-class
life servicing another in whatever ways their master sees fit.
Idris is part of The Spoils of war: the last surviving
member of a barbarian clan, he is famed in the gladiatorial arena for his
bloody ruthlessness and outside the arena for his carnal appetites. His inner
beast is calmed by the presence of his slave and lover, Theo, but to be true to
his heart, Idris may have to risk breaking it. Samuel has spent years striving
toward the Viscount's circles, where rich and fantastical parties are given and
elaborate slave auctions held. He thinks he wants a young lover, but when he
buys an Adonis known as Apollo, he realizes what he was truly missing. Now
Apollo gives the orders, and it is Samuel saying, As You Wish. Life is
Unforgiving for Aidan and Aaron, criminals who have been doomed to live as
slaves to vampire masters, whose appetites can be agony... or bliss. When Aidan
is given a new lease on life with a benevolent Master, his relief is tainted by
pain at leaving Aaron behind; pain which only his Master Ryce has the power to
end. Yuta is a gentle giant who joins a local gang for the sense of family that
they can provide, but when they leave him high and dry in the middle of a
failed heist, it's his captor, Takashima, who shows him what family can really
mean as the vicious gang enforcer tenderly turns him into Takashima's Pet.
This collection of short stories definitely explores the
darker side of sexual slavery. None of the men are willing slaves and are used
brutally by their masters as bodies instead of people. However there are some
tender scenes as well that bring the humanity back to these tortured souls
whether it’s a new tender master, a fellow slave turned lover, or being pulled from a miserable life all together. The scenes are intense and succeed in
pulling powerful emotions from the reader. These are well written and each
story left me wanting more.
