“What if the problem is with a DM?”
“Max would have their ass.DMs are well vetted and have been with the club for a long time.Max takes the safety of his members seriously.”Rose let out a small cry, and Ellie jumped.“Easy.What do you see?”
“She cried out, but she doesn’t seem scared or hurt.She’s smiling.”
“Right.She’s not crying in pain but because of the pleasure Oliver is giving her.”He guided her away from the flogging scene and moved on to a bondage scene.They continued around the club for another hour before Logan took them back to the sofa.
Ellie’s skin was flushed, her breathing rapid, her eyes wide.“Are you okay, Ellie?”
“Yes… No…” She blinked several times.“This wasn’t what I was expecting.”
“What were you expecting?”He wanted to know what she thought the club would be like.
“Darker.The club has good lighting.Women on their knees waiting for someone to pick them out.Less…I don’t know…permission.”
“Remember what I said about consent?”He wasn’t surprised by her expectations.Many had misconceptions about the lifestyle.
“I do.”She twisted her hands together in her lap.“Sage with Brady, they were…beautiful together.”
They’d stopped to watch Sage tie Brady up and then torment him, but Ellie was right; it was beautiful.“Those two love each other.”A true power exchange in his mind.He’d seen it many times with the committed couples in the club.Maybe one day he’d find the right woman.He looked at Ellie.Maybe he had.Only time would tell.
“One of the things I’ve noticed is that when partners trust each other to such a degree that control is surrendered from one to the other.”He was surprised how easy it was to talk to Ellie.“The dominant partner is given, with fully informed consent, nearly complete control and responsibility over the submissive partner.To build such trust requires a degree of communication and give and take few relationships are able to achieve.There can be no secrets, no withholding.”
“Is it the sub who always gives in?”
He shook his head.“No.It’s about compromise, again, mutual give and take.Both parties give to each other and take from each other based on mutual agreement on what suits their dynamic the best.”
“I think I get it.”
“It’s all in the partner negotiations.”
“That all makes sense.I think.”She yawned.
“And on that note, it’s time to get you home.”He stood and helped her to her feet.
“This has been wonderful, Logan.Thank you.”
“Thursday night we’ll be in the club again.But with fewer people here, you can explore more.”He stopped in front of the ladies’ room.“I’ll be waiting for you when you come out.”
She flashed him a grin and disappeared through the door.Logan made his way into the men’s room with a lightness he hadn’t felt inside him in a long time.He needed this.Wicked Sanctuary.Just being here tonight had helped him unwind.And Ellie.
Ellie was still a little bit of a puzzle to him.Maybe puzzle wasn’t the right word.More of an exciting unknown he couldn’t wait to dig into.But she seemed eager to learn about the lifestyle, and she’d listened and didn’t jump to conclusions.He had a feeling this was a great start for the two of them.
Chapter Five
Ellie blew out a breath as she walked into Wicked Sanctuary with Logan on Thursday night.It had been a busy week, and she’d been looking forward to this.After Saturday night, she’d called Sierra Sunday and asked if she could buy Sierra lunch to talk.
Sierra told Ellie to meet her at Sweet & Savory at two and hung up before Ellie could remind Sierra it was Sunday, and the café was closed.When she arrived, Ellie was surprised to find Sierra and others at the café.
Once inside, Sierra explained that every Sunday, if needed, the subs of the club got together to chat.It helped not only the newer subs, but the older ones as well.Even Brady was there, and Ellie had a great time talking with everyone.
She learned a lot.They gave her a list of books to read, and Tessa told her to come to the bookstore attached to Kleinman’s Monday evening, and she’d help her find everything.
Kleinman’s was an adult store.Damon owned it.She shouldn’t have been surprised after finding out about Damon’s adult toy business at the bachelorette party, yet she was.But Tessa met Ellie at the bookstore and found everything Ellie wanted.Destiny, who managed the two stores, was a hoot.With purple hair, fishnet stockings, and a body Ellie envied, she kept Ellie laughing.
The adult store was nothing like Ellie thought it would be.She actually enjoyed herself and was pleased that the mask she wore was slowly coming off.She’d been on her own for a while and had built up some hefty protection.Sierra, Crystal, and Tessa had been getting behind her mask since day one, and Ellie was more than grateful.
She changed and wondered what Logan would think of her outfit.When she walked out of the ladies room, his eyes widened, and he grinned.
