"The worst part of being a Mistress in the world of BDSM is the clean-up after a big event or a particularly fun session," Nadia Hedeid said, speaking to the camera, ignoring the man holding it. The hour-long video would soon be uploaded to YouTube, where her thousands of followers awaited most eagerly. Recently she created a pay site full of steamy videos, and made a ton of cash. At a cost, of course...
Sitting in her boudoir, clad in a black and crimson leather corset, black leather pants and black cowgirl boots, her short, kinky dark hair tucked away under a modest ebony Hijab, Nadia Hedeid definitely looked like she meant business and damn well knew it. Never be what they expect if you want to come out on top, that was the young Black Muslim woman's mantra.
Born in the City of Nouadhibou, Mauritania, and raised in the environs of Newark, New Jersey, Nadia Hedeid is the daughter of two very different worlds, and a living contradiction. Her parents, Mohamedou and Faisa Hedeid left the Islamic Republic of Mauritania in 1992, during the first summer of Nadia's life. Although raised in a strict Muslim household, Nadia Hedeid considered herself equally Mauritanian and proudly American.
"I love what I do and wouldn't give it up for the world, it's okay to be a Muslim woman and to love BDSM," Nadia said softly, speaking directly into the camera. After she finished recording the video and uploading it, Nadia posted some choice pictures on her blog. Pleased with the responses she'd been getting so far, Nadia smiled. It was hard to imagine a time when she lived a vanilla life, and was ignorant of the dark, fascinating realm of BDSM.
The psych grad student at Seton Hall University discovered the world of BDSM a while ago, thanks to her former boyfriend Tariq Machar, and life hasn't been the same since. To a lot of Nadia's viewers, the fact that she was a Muslim both fascinated and repelled them. Apparently, the six-foot-tall, curvy, brown-skinned, Hijab-wearing budding dominatrix didn't fit their idea of a practicing Muslim.
How could a self-proclaimed devout Muslim woman explore such things? BDSM seems so damn haram! That was the series of questions Nadia kept on hearing, from otherwise intelligent people. Nadia often sighed, and reminded herself to be patient with such people. Vanilla people irked her with their moralizing and their presumptions about a lifestyle they knew nothing about. Seriously, when would people get a damn clue? You don't have to like what the other person does, but it's not your place to judge.
"Are you alright, Nana?" came a deep voice, and Nadia blinked, suddenly remembering that her former boyfriend and cameraman Tariq Machar was still in the room. The six-foot-two, broad-shouldered and muscular, mahogany-hued brother with the stylish dreadlocks looked at her, a sinister smirk on his handsome face. From the moment Nadia first laid eyes on Tariq Machar, she could tell that he was nothing but trouble.
Born in the City of Djouba, South Sudan, and raised Atlantic City, New Jersey, Tariq Machar had the unique swagger common to those lofty East-Central African men. Tall, strongly built, with very dark skin and damn proud of it, Tariq was something else. A civil engineering student at Rutgers University's Newark campus, he fascinated Nadia from the get-go. After all, how often does one see a Kufi hat-wearing, Quran-quoting Muslim brother wearing a T-shirt stating "I Love BDSM"?
"Yeah, I'm cool, that video was tight, Tariq, good work," Nadia replied, and Tariq grinned and nodded. Not for the first time, Nadia found herself marveling at how strikingly handsome Tariq was. The brother was darker than Hollywood icon Wesley Snipes, and carried himself like an African prince. Tariq didn't buy into the western world's beauty ideals, unequivocally rejected their racist bullshit and didn't give a damn what people thought of him. That's why he had women all over the University Heights district chasing after him...
"That last session took a lot out of you," Tariq said, licking his lips suggestively, and Nadia felt a shudder down below. Damn you and your inherent sexiness, she thought, more amused than angry. For a brief moment, Nadia wondered whom Tariq was seeing these days. Not that it was any of her business. At least not anymore. Nadia was simply curious, that's all...
After their breakup, Nadia had seen Tariq walk around town with Sarah Delaney, a plump, blonde-haired white chick from the women's studies program at Seton Hall University. A cursory search on Sarah Delaney's Facebook and Instagram accounts revealed that she was a dyke. And a die-hard fan of Pop icon Rihanna apparently. Which brought Nadia back to square one. Who was Tariq boning these days?
"Yeah, well, I'm getting a bit rusty, don't get a lot of practice," Nadia blurted out, and she shook her head when she saw Tariq's wicked, I-thought-as-much smirk. Nadia found herself thinking of that last session with Mario, a mixed-race dude she'd met on an online forum. He'd agreed to play sub for her on video, if she let him wear a mask and paid him five hundred dollars. Nadia agreed, but the video didn't go exactly as planned...
"Fuck this hurts," Mario screamed, and the tall, light-skinned, bald-headed, half-Jamaican and half Puerto Rican dude squealed like a little bitch as Nadia, in full fetish wear, dominated the hell out of him while Tariq Machar filmed the whole thing. The caramel-hued dude was a lot less macho than he first appeared to be, that's for sure. What a disappointment...
Even though Nadia took it easy on Mario, spanking him with her gloved hands instead of using a flogger or a wooden paddle, he proved to be disappointingly averse to pain. Oh, and when she fucked him with her strap-on dildo, the brother screamed worse than some of the female subs Nadia played with from time to time...
"Mario couldn't handle your fire, Nadia, few men can," Tariq said, and he drew closer, much to Nadia's consternation. Before she could say anything, he reached her and gently placed those big, strong yet gentle hands of his on her shoulders. Nadia opened her mouth to speak, but only a happy sigh came out. For Tariq began massaging her shoulders like only he could, and she felt nearly all tension leave her stressed-out body...
"You certainly could," Nadia said, looking up at him, and Tariq smiled and shrugged. Nadia smiled to herself as she recalled one particularly steamy session between the two of them. Tariq had asked Nadia to take him to the edge, and his mistress/girlfriend definitely took him there. Nadia was surprised by Tariq's requests, and by her own willingness to cross certain lines for her man...
"Show me what you're made of," Tariq said in a challenging tone, as he leaned against the Saint Andrew's Cross. Held to the X-shaped wooden cross by firm restraints, he turned around as much as he could, a wicked smirk on his handsome face. Nadia looked at Tariq, admiring his muscular, sexy and very masculine body. Damn that man has a nice ass, Nadia thought admiringly.
"Be careful what you wish for," Nadia said, grinning mischievously as she flexed her arm, and brought the crimson and black flogger onto Tariq's back, taking care to avoid his kidneys. As she began whooping his back and buttocks with the flogger, Tariq endured it all stoically. Most of the other guys she'd played with had demonstrated some endurance, but none could match Tariq's stoicism. In spite of herself, Nadia was impressed.
"Is that all you got, Nadia? My grams hits harder than that," Tariq turned around to say in a teasing voice, smirking at her. Nadia frowned, trying not to smile. Something about Tariq's fearless smile and candor always got to her. Of course, as a dominatrix, Nadia could tolerate no affront to her authority and it was her duty to punish this charming but insolent sub...
"Is that so? Shut the fuck up, Tariq," Nadia said, in her "Domme" voice, and Tariq, noticing the change in her tone and demeanor, fell silent. Smiling wickedly, Nadia went to town on Tariq, lashing out at his back, shoulders, legs and buttocks with the flogger. Indeed, she beat his ass until it was black and blue. After a while, Tariq began to moan and groan, and those moans and groans soon turned into full-fledged screams. Nadia smiled with satisfaction, then whipped him some more...
