“I see no one here.” Where were the cars? Where was the long line of people?
“This is a very discrete place. You’ll see.”
The moment he stepped out of the car, two valets appeared out of thin air. One took the keys from Hunter and the other helped me get out of the car. Ok, maybe we were in the right place after all.
Hunter came to my side, holding something in his hands.
“What is that, Mr. Knox?” I was done with surprises after that leash.
“Masks. We wouldn’t want anyone to recognize you here.”
“Oh, so you’re undercover?”
“Not me, kitten. They all know who I am.”
The masks were matching, both black—which seems to be Hunter’s favorite color—and covering the top of our faces, and he helped set mine after placing a kiss on my forehead.
Hunter walked me inside the building by pulling gently on the leash, and I followed. I wasn’t bothered by the chain around my neck, but I was mad at the fact that my reaction was so mellow about this. Hunter told me I was submissive, but that sounded weak, and weak meant people could hurt you. I was done being hurt.
My start in life taught me a great deal, the most important being to guard yourself and neversubmitto anybody. Now Hunter Knox came along and whatever he wished seemed to be my command. I wanted to roll over and say yes to him because that would get me his attention—that’s what he said, and I wanted said attention. The problem was every time he looked at me, his eyes were digging deep. I felt exposed. Hunter knew nothing about me or my past, he didn’t know who I was. All he saw was a pretty face and a body he wanted in his bed, but his eyes had a drilling intensity and I couldn’t help but feel like they’d uncover all my secrets. That wasn’t an option, my secrets were too painful to ever see the light of day. It was anguishing. Hunter Knox was making me tear inside.
I took a deep breath and shook my head to clear my thoughts.Block it out, I whispered to myself. I was the best at that, and tonight I was keen on locking everything away, so I could enjoy Hunter’s presence and whatever he had planned for me.
To seal my thoughts, Hunter stopped in front of a heavily guarded gilded door and kissed me harshly.
“What’s your safe word?”
“Thunderstorm.”
“Good. Say it if you want me to take you out of there.”
“What’s behind that door, Mr. Knox?”
“You’ll see.”
One of the men in front of the door stopped us and stretched his insanely thick arm in Hunter’s direction.
“Invites?”
Hunter handed two envelopes to him with a fluid movement and the next thing I knew, we were inside a large hallway with tall walls and black-and-white floor tiles. There were quite a few people scattered around, going in and out of rooms—a man was yelling something in German at his phone, there were two women hanging on an older gentleman, one asking to go in the club, the other saying she wants to go home, but mostly there were staff members carrying coats and fluttering around. At the end of the hall there was a two-story tall double door and there was no doubt the party was behind it, because the music was vibrating through the wall.
Hunter yanked my chain and I followed him. When we were a few feet away from the doors, two men opened them and it was like we stepped into another dimension. What was happening inside had nothing to do with the building I saw from the outside. The space was huge, lighted by streaming neon lights that wouldn’t reveal too much. The bar was in the middle, above there was a sign that readKinbaku,and all around there were tall stages that looked very much like pedestals where very sexy, verynakedwomen were dancing for their life. And I mean naked. No bikini, no garters, nothing. Of course, many eyes were on them, but it didn’t seem to bother anyone.
Everything around was seductive and intimate, decorated in luxurious shades of gold and posh red, but I couldn’t concentrate on the design. I was more focused on the clientele. Now I understood why Hunter didn’t see any problems with me walking around in a leash and collar—because everyone else looked like they escaped from a porn movie set. There were men and women around wearing suits and gowns, but I also saw a dominatrix dressed in all latex, a man walking around with a gag in his mouth, and a woman who had nothing on, but her panties, and she was very tightly tied with a rope. The image made me swallow so hard, Hunter might have heard me over the music.
He turned to me and spoke into my ear.
“Are you ok?” I nodded. “You know what you have to do if you want me to take you home.”
“Yes, sir.”
He wanted to say something else, but someone—a massive man in a white shirt and jeans—barked his name over the music.
“Knox!” He came to shake hands. “Is that you, mate?” I was close enough to hear he had a slight accent that I couldn’t quite place.
Hunter turned away completely, giving me his back.
“It’s me, you got that right. Long time no see, my friend.”
