“For tonight, yes.”He gestured for her to precede him down the hall.
They passed a large set of double doors, the bathrooms, another doorway, and entered the office at the end of hallway.
“You’re the only applicant tonight, so I figured we could be a little more informal.”Max gestured to the chair in front of his desk.
“I could come back another night.”She wasn’t sure if it was a good sign or not to be the only one there.
“It’s fine.Tonight is really about paperwork and rules.”
“Okay.”Ellie sat down, setting her purse next to her leg.“I hope you and Sierra had a good honeymoon.”She hadn’t talked with Sierra since they got back.
“We did.”He grinned.“Why don’t we dive right in.Why do you want to join Wicked Sanctuary, Ellie?”
“I need someplace to relax.”She wasn’t surprised by the question.Sierra had told her about the classes and the first night; Max would make sure she was a good fit.He regarded her with dark eyes.
“How much do you know about the lifestyle?”
“A little.”She’d done some research, but not a lot.“If you count reading erotic romances as research.”
Max grinned.“Depends.They can be good or bad.”He pushed a folder across the table to her.“Why don’t you fill out the first couple forms.Also, we do a complete background check.Are you okay with that?”
“Of course.”There was nothing in her background to be ashamed of.Unless they counted a divorce and parents who’d been married several times over.She opened the folder and began filling out the paperwork while Max looked over some work of his own.
The NDA and information needed for a background check.Those were easy.Although she found it interesting about the NDA.It was really to protect other members, not the club itself.She closed the folder and handed it back to Max.
“Thank you.”He glanced over the paperwork in the folder and handed her another one.“This one has your application, club rules, and a detailed questionnaire you might need to take home to complete.”
Ellie nodded.She opened the folder.Name, date of birth, phone number, emergency contact, gender identity, preferred pronouns.Those were easy.Next choice: Dom, Submissive, Switch, Unsure.
She nibbled on her nail, then circledUnsure.She’d read about male and female Doms and submissives, but she wasn’t sure she could order someone around or allow someone to order her around.That was the part that worried her the most.
The next form was a liability disclaimer, and then Bylaws.Initialed and dated.
Club rules.Four pages of rules.She’d never remember them all, but she started reading.No cell phones or electronics allowed in the club.
She looked up.“What do we do with our phones and purses while we’re in the club?”
“Sierra showed you the bathroom, right?There are lockers there you’ll secure your things.”
She’d forgotten about seeing them.That was good to know.She kept reading, most were straightforward.Initialed and dated.
She flipped to the next page.The questionnaire.Her heart stuttered.There were…she counted…twelve pages?Ellie glanced at her watch.She’d been here at seven on the dot, and it was now a few minutes after eight.There was no way she’d get through this questionnaire tonight.
Ellie read the instructions twice: Choices were yes, no, and unsure.If the applicant circled no, they were to note hard or soft.Okay that shouldn’t be too hard.She started with the first question.Anal play.Her face heated.Maybe this wasn’t such a good idea.
“Are you okay, Ellie?”
She jumped at Max’s voice.“Ummm…”
He sat back in his chair.“Didn’t mean to scare you.”
“It’s okay.”
“Are you having trouble with the questionnaire?”
How the hell did he know that?Probably because my face is the color of a dark red rose.“I wasn’t expecting something so detailed.”
He nodded.“The questionnaire is the hardest part of the process.You need to be honest with yourself.Don’t shy away from your needs and desires.”
