Chapter One

“Four thousand?!” exclaimed Felix.

Tab nodded. “It’s actually five thousand, but I get a cut.”

Felix narrowed his eyes. “Can we say no?”

“Of course you can say no.” Tab rolled his eyes. “Prince Rainier isn't going to walk in here and demand someone go with him. He wants a pet for six months, and he’s willing to pay to sort of adopt one of you, but you don’t have to dress up and participate. He’s only going to choose from whoever is in the private room.”

“Would we stay here or go with him?”

“You’d go. I’d think he’d prefer to keep his pet somewhere more private instead of scheduling weekly sessions. It's easier. Of course, he might not pick you. A few other guys are willing to do it, but you could put yourself out there if you're willing to give it a go.”

Felix buckled a leather strap onto his left thigh. “Do you happen to know what Prince Rainier's like?”

Tab shrugged. “I never met him, but everyone says he’s quite decent, and you know the Queen is a fair ruler.”

Felix stood to adjust his loincloth which was sheer and left little to the imagination. "A person might be nice in public and different in private.”

Tab leaned against his dressing table. “I’ve never heard anything bad about him. I’m sure he’s been to other houses, and I’ve talked to other owners. They would have said something.”

“Why not find a cat fairy somewhere?”

“I think it’s more about the dressing up."

Felix fiddled with his chest halter in the looking glass. “Okay. I’ll do it.”

“It’ll be next week.” Tab tilted his head. “You might have to accept a gag if he picks you. I don't know if he'd require that.”

Felix scowled. “I hate them.”

“Well, if you want the money, and he picks you…some like to keep their pets quiet.”

“I can stay quiet by myself.”

“I gag mine sometimes because I like the way it looks, and he likes it.”

“He’s a pony. That’s different.”

“It doesn’t matter. I like the look of it, and the Prince might too. So if he picks you and says that's a must, then you probably won't be a good fit. I'm just warning you.”

Felix fiddled with the sheer cloth brushing his thighs. “I-I don’t know.”

“Think about it. Maybe he won’t. You can ask, and think of the four thousand lan’s you’d make if he picked you.” Tab straightened and tugged down the hem of his shirt. “You don’t have to put yourself out there for him, and you could say no last minute if you get a bad feeling about him or something. You know I’d never make any of you do something you don’t want to do.”

“Let me think about it for a bit.”

Once Tab left his room, Felix attached a thin, gold chain to his nipple piercings. He used to be okay with gags, but he’d hated them after one incident when he was new to rough play, young, and stupid. The dominant should have given him a safety signal to do. Felix had been bound in such a way, he hadn’t been able to snap his fingers which was a generally accepted signal.

The dominant had kept whipping him and thought the noises he’d made through the gag were because he was hurting but in a way that was enjoyable.

Felix hadn’t been enjoying it. The pain had been too much at first, and once he had grown scared and truly wanted it to stop, it had all turned into pure agony. Afterward, he hadn’t been scared of whips or pain in bed when it was done right. It was the total loss of control and not being able to speak that had terrified him more.

Luckily, when he got a job at Pierced Pretties, Tab, who owned the place, had been understanding. It was a house for the rich and kinky, but they had rules to follow, and those who didn’t obey were kicked out and banned. Nobody was allowed to force the employees into things they weren’t willing to do, and gags were off the list when it came to Felix.

Maybe he could try again. He had considered it a few times because he used to enjoy it, but he could never quite make himself do it again with another client. If he got lucky, and the Prince picked him…

Four thousand lan was a lot of money.
