giving you your room assignments. There
are several Masters working tonight and they’ll be ready to step in and help if
needed. They’ll have shirts on like mine.”
It
read “Master Marcus” in red embroidery, clear as day over his heart. It was a
sign. She’d be just fine. A smile warmed her from head to toe. She’d never met
Master Marcus, but had heard enough about him to know he was the best of men.
Heat flushed through her as she walked past him and climbed the stairs. He’d
been Ivy’s trainer before she met Mr. Marsh. Shit. She pinched her thigh. Upstairs Mr. Marsh needed to be called
Master Seth. Ivy warned her a few times. Any show of disrespect could earn her
a spanking or worse.
Dang.
What would a spanking feel like? It made no sense that what was known as a
punishment would turn her on. A million little things were keeping her thoughts
off center. She felt like she was riding a Lazy Susan and the trip was making
her dizzy.
Now
that she thought about it, Master Marcus’s shirt was the same one he had on
earlier. She hadn’t even noticed. Normally, she regarded herself as quite
detail oriented, but not since she decided to attend tonight. Her thoughts had
only been scattered, part on her task at hand, part on her infatuation with
Brad that she still couldn’t let go of, and part on Mistress Charlie’s match.
The more she thought about the match, the more it bothered her. Sure, the
Mistress thought they’d be great together, but this man hadn’t picked her,
hadn’t had the chance to say she was the one.
Regardless,
tonight was a new beginning. She needed to take back control of her life and
move forward. If her first encounter with Charlie’s match showed a glimpse of
her future, it would be delicious.
Damn,
she was about to see him. She walked in a haze through the last door and into
the club. This was her moment to ruin. Whoever her match was they clearly had a
physical connection … in the dark. What if that disappeared once he saw her, when
he realized that she wasn’t some kind of unique beauty?
Master
Marcus waited until the last of the group had left the stairwell. “Follow me
and keep close.”
The
vibrations in the room were heavy. Loud music filled the room and sent a pulse
along her legs through the floor. Distractions were everywhere, from the striking
dance moves on her left to the intensity from the stations holding several
different scenes to her right. The smell of sex hung thick in the air. The room
was alive.
Candy
returned her concentration to Master Marcus, knowing she’d have plenty of time
to explore the club in the weeks ahead. Right now, she needed to stay focused
and prepare for what was about to happen. It was time to meet her date. The
whole night was so backwards.
Chapter Three
In no time, they were across the room and
into another hallway. Mistress Charlie held her arms open and the three of them
ran to her.
“It’s
so good to see you ladies again.” She kissed each of them. “So, tell me. How is
it going so far?”
“It
was too quick,” the woman on her right said.
“It
really was.” Candy agreed.
“That’s
good to hear.” She backed up a step. “Come and practice your kneeling position
for me. Take the moment to center yourself and open a space for the next step.”
Candy
and the two other girls spaced themselves evenly, like Mistress Charlie had
taught them. Then Candy knelt down, keeping her knees spread, she sat back on
her heels. A slight pull stretched along her thighs as she took a deep breath
and rested the backs of her hands on them. Additional slow deep breaths calmed
her raging nerves.
She
was here in this moment.
“Well
done, my dears. I’m quite impressed. Not only with this proper display but also
with the first impressions you’ve made on the gentleman waiting for you. They
are all eager to continue the night. Take another deep breath.”
In
and out, she let her shoulders fall.
“Do
you have any questions?”
