In a moment of delicate intimacy, Shaunna Renton confesses to her husband Michael's business associate, Ms. Zaynab, that he has been unfaithful to her. While the two women have grown close while they've been living in London, Shaunna is shocked by the woman's immediate response. "Men can be dogs. Sometimes it is best to let them see your anger at their behaviour. Only then can they be trained to know their place... if I were in your shoes, I would start to regard him as a canine in need of training. Until just the mere thought of disobeying you fetches fear to his heart!" The betrayed Shaunna is shocked but nonetheless intrigued by the suggestion. Husband Michael will soon travel to the Middleeast in anticipation of overseeing Ms. Zaynab's huge development in the region, but there is something far more sinister afoot. He may think he'll be handling her development, however, it's Ms. Zaynab who fully intends to oversee him...for life!

From Proud Man to servile canine. A middle-aged English lothario's marriage to a none too beautiful German heiress, many years his junior, does not turn out to be the ticket to riches and independence he was certain he could manipulate it into being. He is about to be led a dog's life. Literally! "Perched on his haunches, he forced his thoughts from the indignity to which the powerful young black girl - scarcely nineteen to his forty-three - had forced him, and prayed she was not serious about the wife who was his no longer, except on paper, requesting he perform the same task for her. As if divining his thoughts, Anobi set her glass down and reached out to stroke him behind the ear, knowing how much he shrank from her touch and was terrified to show it - unless he wished to be taken across her smooth and immense black thighs until he learned to better appreciate her control of him and the few scraps of affection she threw his way."
