Lilith
The Sensations Sub Academy, Forest Avenue, Mercer Island, WA…
“I can’t believe I’m finally here,” Delia gushed as she hooked her arm excitedly into Lilith’s upon her arrival at the glass and steel office-like structure. The overall aesthetics of the academy from the outside was modern and sophisticated. “I’ve dreamed of this for so long.”
“This or getting into Castle Sin?”
“Well, come now, girlfriend! The two, go hand-in-hand.”
“Maybe for you. All I’m interested in is this initial BDSM 101 course. Once I graduate from it, I’ll be going my merry way.”
Delia looked at her askance. “Only the 101 course? Since I’m quite experienced in submission, I’ll probably be placed in the final advanced class. If I were in your shoes, I’d definitely aim to complete all three, even if you have no interest in being selected to get into the Castle Sin Academy, especially if you intend to actively be involved in the lifestyle.”
“I suppose you’re right. I’ll have to see how I feel once I graduate.” Even though Lilith fully intended to continue her journey into the lifestyle, once her deceit came to light—and she had no doubt it would—she wouldn’t be allowed to continue training here. The thought that Master Crow would find out what a fraud she had been from the moment she entered the club brought a knot to her stomach. The connection she had made to that man still left her feeling fragile and vulnerable.
Keep your eye on the prize, Lilith. You know why you’re here. Yes, you don’t agree or believe the shit Gustav and Rocco spun, but you have a duty to your brother.
It’s not as though Rocco gave me any choice. If he ever releases that video, I’m done for. No one will ever respect me again.
For the umpteenth time since Rocco uttered the threat, she wondered about the authenticity or even the existence of the video. She should have demanded seeing the damn thing. Yes, he looked and sounded convincing, but she knew him better than most. He knew how to manipulate people.
“It’s neither here nor there,” Delia’s voice yanked her attention back to the present. “That’s for future decisions. For now, let’s go hither, fair maiden, into the inviting hallows of submissive training.”
“Lemme guess,” Lilith laughed. “You’re a Shakespeare fan?”
“However, did you know?” Delia rolled her eyes dramatically. “I am an actress, after all. Stage performance is my preference, but it’s a pity there are so few productions opening up every year.”
“Wow, are you sure we’re at the correct address?” Lilith gaped around as they walked through the revolving doors. “This place is amazing.”
The outside aesthetic of the building continued on the inside with a sleek and contemporary design, with clean lines and an open-floor plan. Large, tinted windows invited natural light to flood the interior space.
Lilith felt small in the double-volume lobby, beautifully enhanced with white marble tiles leading to a steel reception desk and a seating area for visitors with comfortable white-and-gray sofas.
“Goodness,” Delia whispered as they looked around, wide-eyed. “There’s even a bistro over there. Ehm… I’m starting to wonder if we’re at the right place, too.”
Through the floor-to-ceiling windows facing the back of the building, Lilith was awestruck at the gorgeous mini-forest, with a plethora of colorful flowerbeds, shrubs, and trees surrounding a large fountain in the center.
“This hardly looks like a BDSM training academy,” she said behind her hand. “Can you imagine the neighbors’ reaction to the screams when the whipping starts?”
“Morning, ladies. Please sign in here.”
“Oh, of course,” Delia said and dragged Lilith with her to the reception desk where a tall brunette, dressed in a tight red leather catsuit, waited for their approach.
“Just to confirm, this is the Sensations Sub Academy, right?” Lilith asked, although the woman’s dress code was sufficient proof.
“Beautiful place, isn’t it?” she confirmed in a smooth, musical voice. “The owner had it specifically designed to ensure a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere where every sub who enters feels welcome. He even ensured the entire building is soundproof.”
“He definitely achieved his goal,” Lilith smiled.
“I am Mistress Ruby, and I’ll be one of your trainers during the next couple of weeks. You may address me as such, or as Ma’am. Never just Ruby, understood?”
“Yes, Ma’am,” they responded in unison, immediately drawn into the confidence that oozed from the Domme.
“Names, please.”
“I’m Delia, and this is Lillian.”
Mistress Ruby tapped her long fingernails on the marble surface of the reception desk. Dusty, beautifully even eyelashes swept up in a warning look.
