Meet the Mistresses

Where their power comes from

The catalog is built around where a woman holds power, because that is what the genre is really about. Some hold it in the world: Margaux runs a logistics group, Ayanna founded a tech company, Jia is a law partner. Some hold it in a house of their own: Folake and Kyoko own private clubs, Ottavia has a studio in Milan. Some hold it in the body: Dominique and Brynja coach strength, Catalina leads every tango step. Some hold it in art and attention: Florencia owns a gallery, Zlata and Esmeralda tell you exactly how to stand, Femke receives audiences, Anouk runs an estate. Ophelia and Cass rule the hours after midnight, Tamsin rules a microphone, Devika rules the card table, and Jordan and Nadia rule the home.

Three ways to filter

By kind: the boss Mistresses of the boardroom, latex and leather, goth, and the ones at home. By origin: Asian, ebony and Latina. And by style of command, which changes a session more than anything else: Ice Queen, Strict, Velvet, Tease, Regal and Mischief. The first two rows lead to pages of their own; the third simply narrows the cards on this page.

Six of the twenty are European and have no page of their own yet: Margaux from Paris, Ottavia from Milan, Zlata from Prague, Femke from Amsterdam, Anouk from the Ardennes and Brynja from Reykjavik.

Before your first session

Whoever you choose, she starts by reading your limits: a short list you tick once, from orders and praise to worship or a chastity game, plus how a teasing session may end. Red stops any scene at once and yellow slows her down, and both are printed above every conversation.
