His presence filled the room. It was similar to Damian's but somehow the smoldering electrical current was just...more. I followed every sexy inch of his body when he crossed the room and stopped about fifteen feet away. TROUBLE! He was the epitome of what I needed to avoid.I knew this had to be Krispin Righteous, and I knew righteous trouble awaited me if I got within arms distance. My heartbeat picked up and for a moment I squeezed my eyes closed and counted to ten. Then, I purposely concentrated on my job and refused to look. He was THE bad boy personified and the type who took me to my lowest level. I'd been here before and if I fell into the cavernous pit with him I would never manage to find my way out. Been there, done that, have the t-shirt, and turned it into a rag to wipe my broken heart off the floor again and again. Now the shirt was nothing more than stringy fibers. I turned my thoughts to Mistress and even without her presence, she calmed me. I pulled in a deep breath a
Keeping my mind off the hot cocktail waitress wasn't easy. But the club offered some interesting side attractions and I realized how much I needed this kinky world. It called to the primal Dom inside of me, the one I needed to find again. I managed to stay engrossed in the scene being played in the Tower of London torture room. The Dom knew what he was doing and managed to put on a show for his audience. The screams of his willing subject added nicely to the overall effect.From the corner of my eye, I caught a flash of red hair and turned toward the woman on whom Damian's eyes were already focused. It took me a split-second to put two and two together. Lydia led a naked male sub on a leash. He wore a shiny metal cock cage secured tightly around his dick, yet his posture was full of obvious pride. How I mistook Lydia for a sub was now beyond comprehension. Hell, I wasn't even sure if she was a switch for Damian, and my smile reflected the images running through my brain."My bad,"
Nicole was not exactly what I needed, but she was close. Damian made sure I sat and spoke to the eager sub and reviewed her wants and needs as well as her hard limits. She had few, but I was comfortable with only going so far. I remembered what Lydia said about her career and asked her questions during aftercare. It was the first time I worked on enjoying the experience. I was glad I did. Nicole was a medical examiner. I found it fascinating and my usual fifteen minutes turned into an hour.She spoke softly about her work and obviously loved her job. She never asked about my band or for me to sing for her. It was surprisingly pleasant and made me forget the gorgeous brunette sub for a while.Unfortunately, when I left Nicole at the club and went to my room, my dreams were filled with every conceivable first meeting I might have with the mysterious, green-eyed sub. I woke up with a throbbing hard-on and equally throbbing headache. I stepped into a hot shower hoping for relief from at
My sleep was surprisingly uninterrupted and I felt refreshed when I woke. Mistress knew, even in her deviousness, exactly what I needed and she never failed to give it to me. I made coffee in the small kitchen and then carried it to my desk where my laptop rested. I was on a mission, and just before my brain shut down the night before, I decided to spend some time getting to know my bad boy - computer style.It wasn't hard to do. I entered his name in the search engine and one through twenty of sixty thousand links popped up. Sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll; it listed everything. I didn't believe each and every article, but pictures didn't lie and in most of them, Krispin Righteous was high as a kite. It made me wonder about his relationship with Damian.I grabbed my cell phone and dialed Kevin's number.He was awake. "Hi, dear.""Hi, Kevin. I have a question.""Shoot.""How much alcohol did Mr. Righteous drink last night?""That's easy. None. Mr. Righteous is a recovering addict an
I'd been to the lounge before and knew the Bosendorfer Imperial waited for me. My fingers couldn't have Lydia's sub, so they craved the next best thing: making music on a beautiful instrument.I was thankful there were few people in the lounge. The Bosendorfer called for Sinatra, as it so often did. My fingers ran across the keys and then I moved the seat to a more comfortable position. The music took over and my voice crooned the classic song using my voice to its best advantage. I lived for music. My personal ensemble consisted of the greatest sounds from every decade; from classical to rap, my gift was memorizing every chord and each word. I went from the baby Abigail induced "Ain't She Sweet" to "Everybody Loves Somebody." The faint applause at the end surprised me. I'd lost myself in the music again and my lips quirked. A waiter stood to the side and I looked at him inquisitively."Sir, there's a lady in the corner and I think you made her cry."Well damn. My eyes went to the c
I stood during the last verse and then walked out of the lounge. He never stopped watching but he didn't follow. My heart wouldn't quit its frantic gallop as I made my way back to my rooms.By the time I reached my door, my giddiness had turned into pain. Pain from the inside, needing to get out. I walked into the kitchen and looked at the butcher block filled with knives. My hands gripped the counter and I closed my eyes. I needed to scream but not here. It would bring hotel security running.I was walking out the door again before I even realized it. The elevator opened into the low light of the club. Sydney stood behind the bar, but she was busy polishing glasses and didn't see me. I walked straight to the back rooms and opened the last door on the right. I closed the door behind me and walked into the bathroom. I turned the cold water on full blast in the walk-in shower and stood under the spray, clothes and all.I screamed.I don't know how long I stood under the water, but st
I paid no attention to the whispers as I stalked through the lobby and into the ground floor bar. The drink clinked down in front of me minutes after I placed the order. I removed the cutesy toothpick and downed the liquid. Then I ordered another."Do you really think two wrongs make a right?" Damian asked.I laughed. It wasn't funny.The next drink slid in front of me but before I could grab it, Damian grabbed and swallowed."Christ, what is this shit?" I was surprised he didn't spit it out."It's warm Mountain Dew with a hot lemon twist.""Is my vodka too high class for you?""I don't drink alcohol. Or, did you forget?""I didn't but that fucking shit needs to be chased with alcohol. Sorry I can't join you in your sobriety but I really need a cold one.""At least you can't be kicked out of your own club.""That's what you think. My wife would kick me out of the hotel using her spiky high heels and not look back. I'm only glad our baby needs a father. Lydia is pretty pissed
I had my own room in the penthouse but Damian took me into his bedroom. I'd slept between Damian and Lydia twice before but that was over six months ago. It wasn't about sex then, only safety. It always amazed me how accepting Damian was of his wife's sub.I heard him speak softly on the phone to the doctor before kissing his wife and walking away."Did you go to your therapy appointment today?" Mistress Lydia asked."No, Mistress.""Then we need to talk about that first.""I cleaned my apartment." "You should have called me.""Yes. Mistress. I should have.""You didn't cut yourself.""I kept my promise.""Not completely, but you tried.""I'm sorry, Mistress."Her hands went to my shoulders and I felt instant relief at her touch. "Did you see Krispin outside the club?""Yes. Mistress. He was in the lounge but I was there first and couldn't get past without him seeing me. I tried to hide.""What did he say to hurt you so badly?""He asked to take me out on a real date. O
