Thank You, Sir.
In truth i didn't make the connection to The Thousand and One Nights, but i can see it now. And yes Sir, it is very natural for Humans (especially Men) to seek power over others, just as it's natural for women to be aroused by Men who have power over us. It's a basic biological tendency for women to find stronger, more Dominant Men as more viable reproductive partners out of an instinct that They will produce stronger offspring. Humans are not that different from animals in that way.
You are also right that there are parts of the world where this is a way of life. Even in the developed world, i live this way, as you can see from my introduce yourself post.
In any case, i am glad You liked the story. With any luck, i will have the next chapter posted this week.
