Generally, for emphasizing authority dynamics, the dominant has to want the submissive to do something. The authority dynamic is most obvious when the submissive doesn't want to do it. What does "authority and power play" mean to you--that is, what goal do you have in mind that makes you want to do authority and power play? The top doesn't necessarily have to lead the negotiation (although if a person cannot run a negotiation effectively, I would argue that that person probably isn't a very developed *dominant*), and service topping (where the bottom is dominant) and egalitarian SM (where there isn't a power dynamic) are fine things to do, but typical dominant top/submissive bottom power play doesn't exactly work in that situation. Also, your second message seems to indicate that you are assuming that your playmate likes to top using the same activities she enjoys when she bottoms--that's often not the case. There are lots of quiet SM activities. Most "small" non-impact play, often genitorture-style stuff, is quiet in the application--whether the bottom can keep quiet during the application of clamps, needles or abrasion to tender areas like genitals and tongues is a matter of self-control. Electricity is often quiet and can be very painful. Difficult bondage doesn't make noise, and if you want to emphasize obedience, the top can ask the bottom to assume a difficult position, and the bottom remains in the difficult position out of self-discipline and obedience, not because of ropes or cuffs.
