Day 7: Ethan shows Beth the Inquisitor’s Chamber Like a scene from Alice in Wonderland, they walked hand in hand along the seemingly never-ending landing, until Ethan suddenly stopped outside a large heavy oak door. He moved behind her and circled her waist with his arms, then rested his chin on her shoulder. “Remember what I told you about the Inquisitor, Beth.”“Yes?”“This is where he satisfies his darkest desires.”“You mean—”“Uh-huh, this is the Inquisitor’s Chamber. Step out of line, young lady, and the Inquisitor will provide the appropriate form of correction.”Beth nodded nervously. “I see.” Her voice quavered slightly as she wondered what lay behind the locked door. Appealing to his natural dominance, she lowered her head, and said, “Sir, do I get to see inside?”“Have you misbehaved, my sub?”“No, Sir, not today, Sir.” She thoroughly enjoyed her part in the role-play.“Then this room is strictly off-limits to you.” She wondered if he felt the tiny tremors coursing through her veins as he wrapped his arms around her even tighter. She guessed he did, because he seemed to know what made her tick.He tenderly kissed the top of her head. “Don’t worry, little one. I’m sure you’ll always be perfectly behaved…

Day 6: Beth visits Ethan’s home for the first time Clearly sensing her apprehension, he took her hand in his, calming her, making her feel safe. In the last few weeks she’d come to trust Ethan implicitly. That was why she was standing outside his awesome home at four in the morning.  “We know each other, Beth. You trust me, right?” “Yes, of course.” Once inside, she was immediately overwhelmed by the sheer space available. A large entrance hall flowed seamlessly to a treble-width staircase, which rose majestically to a large galleried landing. It was obviously a building designed by and for a man. As a woman she so wanted to feminize the place with brightly colored curtains and soft furnishings. She preferred carpets and rugs, but every square foot of flooring was covered in a dark, uncaring hardwood. Beth found the never-ending expanse of white paint overpowering and far too masculine for her tastes. The only respite to the stark, bare walls was a collection of life-size photographs brutally depicting Ethan’s time as a successful bare-knuckle boxer. Yeah, this was a man’s domain all right. No woman in her right mind would allow such graphically aggressive images to grace…

Day 5: Ethan asks Beth to mix a cocktail A glimpse across the bar at Club Submission© Nataliya | http://www.stockfreeimages.com/ Ethan had already decided that if Beth could mix a great cocktail, then he’d give her the job. He guessed he was a sucker for a sad story. “I’m not going to ask you any more questions, Beth. I think actions speak louder than words.” “Oh?” “Yeah, slip behind the bar and prepare me a drink, honey.” He loved the way her perfectly shaped brows lifted slightly in surprise. “And what can I get you…Sir?” The way her sexy voice wrapped huskily around that simple three-letter word gave him a hard-on. “You’ve already told me you’ve had some bar experience in the past, so I’m gonna let you decide.” He flashed her a smile, and watched a pretty blush spread across her cheeks. His eyes raked over her svelte body as she rose from the leather stool and elegantly sashayed around to the other side of the bar. Man, what he wouldn’t give for a night of sadistic sucking, and fucking with this living doll. He could almost taste how earth- shatteringly great it would be.More coming soon……….

Day 4: The interview begins in earnest “Are you familiar with our club, Beth?” Wearing black leather pants and vest, Ethan relaxed back in his chair, totally at ease with himself and his surroundings. He idly rested a cowboy boot across his knee and gripped his ankle.“I’ve never been here before, but I’ve taken the opportunity to check out your website. I know all about the separate zones, cool, warm, and hot.”“Excellent, that shows initiative, I like that.” He seemed to stare at her for a long time, his beautiful green eyes holding hers, before finally saying, “So tell me, Beth, what experience do you have of the scene, and do you play yourself? Andrea tells me you originally come from Chicago and are familiar with the scene there.” Ethan spread his arms wide by way of explanation. “I’m aware my line of questioning may seem personal, and have little to do with working behind the bar at Club Submission, but as you’ll be spending your evenings right in the heart of a highly charged sexual environment, I make it my business to know. The last thing I need is a woman freaked out by what she sees. Are you…

Day 3: Beth meets Ethan Strong A series of murals hung from the walls, depicting sexual scenes that she was familiar with. Beth sensed a quickening of her breathing as she stared fascinated at the erotic images. Two powerfully built men, who she guessed were in their mid thirties, sat at a glossy black S-shaped bar. They were both extremely good-looking guys, and she figured they were Club Submission joint owners, Matthew and Ethan Strong. Andrea introduced her to them. “Hi, guys, this lady is Beth Beaumont. She’s come about the bar job.”More coming soon…….

Day 2: Beth enters Club Submission for the first time “That’s right,” Beth replied, knowing full well that probing questions were inevitable when applying for a job in a BDSM club. She didn’t want to dwell on certain elements of her unhappy past, so she already had several preplanned answers at hand. “I had a long-term relationship with a top. We’ve been finished for a while now.” Her response seemed to satisfy Andrea, because the pretty blonde lady nodded her approval. “Well, we’re not gonna shock you here at Club Submission then, are we, honey. Matthew and Ethan always prefer to hire people who are into the scene themselves. That way staff turnover is kept to a minimum.”The slim blonde pushed open another set of double doors, and they entered a large, spacious room. The ceiling was double height, with subdued lighting casting shadows into the small enclaves and intimate seating areas. She figured the layout had been specifically designed to give the best possible views of the revolving stage, complete with an iron fretwork slave cage.More coming soon……
