EWEN
Music thrummed through my club. Partially clothed bodies writhed in the coloured lighting as the night wore on into the late hours, where deviance prevailed. The edge of the bar dug into my hip as I rested against it, listening to Adam, my bar manager, waffling about a patron he was obsessing over.
Scanning the main playroom and bar area, I paused to revel in the sight of a leashed submissive on her knees, sucking off her partner with vigour while being completely ignored. I wouldn’t take my eyes off of her if she were mine. My fingers tightened into a fist, imagining her silky hair between them. Her dark hair was in a low, messy braid that screamed of already having been pulled. Wisps fell about her flushed cheeks, grazing the heated skin as her head bobbed. I’d want to see every little gasp and cry as I tormented her, not letting a single moment of it go to waste.
‘Are you listening to me?’ Adam asked, dragging me back into reality.
‘I am now,’ I replied, flicking my eyes to his exasperated face.
‘Rob’s phoned in sick, and he’s supposed to perform with Ruby tonight on the main stage.’
Rob was a pain in my fucking arse. I’d have sacked him if it weren’t for the fact that patrons absolutely adored him. The things he could do with a length of rope and some supple flesh blew my mind–when he showed up.
‘Who have we got spare that can join up with Ruby?’ I asked, rubbing the back of my neck. Ruby was pretty put prickly. While she loved to fuck, the kink side wasn’t her bag. She tolerated the ropes okay if it meant she’d get an orgasm out of it, but on the whole, she was more likely to be in one of the orgy rooms or performing more standard sex acts—not the things I enjoyed. I liked to let my darkness seep into a scene, to see a woman pant and beg while letting me do anything I pleased. To suffer until I made her explode.
‘No-one. The flu’s taken out a handful of performers, and the rest are already busy.’ Adam wiped down the bar as he spoke, ensuring it was kept squeaky clean. One thing I couldn’t tolerate was my club looking anything less than perfect.
“We’ll just have to pull the performance.’
‘Or...’ Adam looked at me. ‘You could do it.’
‘Me? With Ruby? I don’t think so.’
‘It’s just a performance. I’m not saying you need to screw her. Just grab a crop and get her to tease the crowd.’
‘She wouldn’t agree to it,’ I said.
‘She already has. You’ll have to pay her double and keep the strokes mostly superficial.’ Adam winked as I sighed.
I could have refused. It’s my club, and they were my employees, but I also knew that people chose The Loft over other establishments for its luxury and top-class entertainment. They wanted to be tantalised by performers being put through their paces, sighing and moaning for their amusement.
‘Fine,’ I said at last. ‘But I’m going to dock it from Rob for being a bellend.’
Ruby waited at the edge of the stage, slapping the leather end of the leash handle against her palm as she rolled her eyes. With her hip cocked to one side and a bored expression on her face, she was anything but submissive.
‘About time, Ewen,’ she said before pressing the handle of the leash into my hand, the metal chain leading to the collar surrounding her throat. ‘What’s the plan?’
‘Get in and out as fast as possible while giving them a show.’
‘Are you going to fuck me this time?’
I cringed internally before shaking my head. ‘I’m not.’
‘Honestly, I’m beginning to think you’re celibate.’
Might as well be, I thought. It wasn’t that I didn’t have the chance; it’s just that most women weren’t into the same things as me. Pretending to be someone else just to get my dick wet left me feeling emptier than going without. I needed a partner to want the pain I gave her, not to be pretending for my benefit, and definitely not pretending for mine.
‘Not everyone is desperate to fuck you,’ I told her.
‘Don’t know what you’re missing.’
‘Just follow my orders, and it’ll be over soon enough.’
‘Are you going to crop me?’ she said, eyeing the leather end of the black riding crop I held.
‘Yes.’
