Dean told me "not to fret the language barrier too much." The truth is, I'm frequently hiding behind it, which is just stupid. I shouldn't aim for second place just because it's my second language.
No it's not part of the story and in retrospect I feel stupid for saying it. The reader should make his own judgement.
It smells like a switch, yes. But are you sure? I never said for whom the chair was intended or who was going to suffer in the basement. Isn't it normal for the dom to prepare the setting and the toys? And worshipping the ground your lover is treading on doesn't necessarily mean you are submissive. It would make you a good sub for sure, but it just might make you a perfect dom. Who was serving whom? That's easy. But who was domming whom? Who knows? (God, I feel stupid for this "not a switch story comment".)
This was the effect I was going for, and it might be the reason why the story is so short. Maintaining that ambivalence was awfully hard.

PS: This had nothing to do with tolerance, just with me trying to think for the reader, WHICH I SHOULDN'T. Can we please forget about this?
