I take a step forward and hold my hand out, moving my coat to the crook of my arm. “Madam Lynn?” I say, although it’s a question.
The woman pauses, accepting my hand and smiling with a twinkle in her pale blue eyes.
“You’ve finally come.” She says accepting my hand shake and taking me in. “Alena, correct?”
I nod my head and return her smile although my heart’s still pounding in my chest. “Yes, I’m here.”
“I’m glad you’ve accepted the invitation.” She looks at my coat and then back to my eyes. “May I?” She asks while reaching out for it.
“Oh sure, of course.” I hand her the coat and she immediately takes my hand and leads me back out into the lobby.
“I know you’re going to want to look around and,” she looks over her shoulder at me with a mischievous grin, “have some fun.” She stops at the desk and waves over a young woman in a silk black jumpsuit, “but let’s get you checked in first.” My cheeks color with slight embarrassment.
“Yes, Madam Lynn,” I say just beneath my breath.
She looks back at me with slight surprise and tilts her head. “Oh he was right about you.”
I take in her words, letting them resonate in me slowly, as she walks behind the desk with the other woman tapping on keys at a computer.
Who is ‘he’ and what the fuck was he right about?
JOSHUA
Iwatch on the screen in the security room as Dominic let’s Alena in from the cold and takes a deliberate look at her ass. It would piss me off if I wasn’t feeling so fucking confident.
She’s here because she wants this. She wouldn’t have come otherwise. She had one day off this week and she chose to use it to come here.
I should be ashamed that I hacked into her emails, but I’m not. It’s something that’s almost natural at this point. With every application we do a background check. And that includes some digging that’s on the other side of the law. But we have to be careful.
And with Alena, I had to make sure she was single and that she was still the same woman I once loved. The thought strikes me like a hit to the chest. Love. It’s been a long time since I’ve said that word. With no family and no relationship, I haven’t had a reason to. I huff a small laugh as I realize the last woman I ever told those three little words just walked into my club.
I remember her whispering it with such sincerity after I took her for the first time. It was slow and sweet and I hadn’t revealed how much more I needed from her. I was desperate to have her and I wish I’d told her sooner. Regret starts to creep up on me, but I shake it off.
She’s here now and that’s what matters.
I watch the screens in the control room as she walks into the dining hall. She’s beautiful in her cream chiffon pleated dress. She looks innocent and naive wearing that in here. If it were any other time, she’d be struck with surprise at how out of place she is. We usually don’t let anyone into the building this early. Some Doms have keys to the private rooms that work from the entrances outside, but not in here.
When she emailed back asking to come, I allowed it. I’m already breaking rules for her. I’ll break them all to get her to submit to me.
Madam Lynn is getting her set up. Watching the two of them interact makes me uneasy. Lynn knows how much this means to me. I turn on the volume for the mics and listen in as they walk through the hall and into the play rooms. There are several on the first floor, and even more in the dungeon.
Alena never struck me as a woman who’d care for the dungeon. She doesn’t want pain. She just wants to give up control. Even if she doesn't realize it.
My thumb rests on my bottom lip as I watch the screen.
They’re quiet as they walk into the first play room and she eyes the Andrew’s cross in the back of the room.
There are two crosses as well as some other furniture meant for BDSM interaction.
I can see her tied to one. Bound and helpless. Her eyes widen slightly and I can see her breath hitch as she realizes that’s what it’s for. She pauses mid step and looks at the dark raw wood beams as though they may bite her.
I lean forward watching her every move and willing her to explore.
I don’t want her to be scared off just yet. She would enjoy it.
As if hearing my thoughts, she takes a few steps forward and gently touches the wood. Running her fingers down the side of it and eyeing the leather cuffs attached to it.
