“She says she’s positive.”

“Thanks, Jeff.”

I hang up and take a deep breath.

Time to hunt monsters.

I could saythat the ends justify the means. I could blame the period approaching at the end of my sentence. Still, neither of those makes this okay.

I straighten my black cocktail dress and my mask before I take a deep breath and walk through the unassuming front doors of Club Venom.

It’s not my first time here.

It’s myfourth.

I’m not a member. At least, Tempest Black isn’t a member. But I’m not Tempest Black tonight.

I smile as I approach the concierge desk, where a pretty young woman with dark hair—Jeff’s contact, I suppose—smiles at me.

“Good evening, ma’am.”

“Good evening.” I slip the membership card out of my clutch and pass it across the desk to her. She looks at it, then me, teetering in the tallest heels I own, as I tuck a lock of the red wig behind my ear.

She smiles at me. “Welcome back, Ms. Crown. Please, right this way.”

To quote Dwight Schrute, “Identify theft is not a joke, Jim”. But tonight, same as the last three times I’ve been here, it’s necessary, even if it makes me a terrible friend.

Taylor keeps her Club Venom membership card in her desk at Crown and Black, probably because she never comes here unless it’s for a work-related thing, and plus I’ll bet she doesn’t want anyone in the know to spot it in her wallet or something.

Discovering this is how I was able to start coming here, prowling for monsters. I know Club Venom is not the clubhouse for the men who attacked Nina and me that night. But it’s a place that mightappealto men like that: rich, powerful men who don’t fear consequences, and might like the sexual dynamics that places like Venom allow its members to enact.

So tonight, same as before, I used Gabriel’s code to get into Crown and Black after hours, let myself into Taylor’s office, and snagged her membership card from her desk. Then I put on the tallest heels I could to get close to her height, donned a black cocktail dress and a redheaded wig, and took a taxi here.

The last three times were just me aimlessly looking for clues. This time, thanks to Jeff’s contact, I’ve got a solid target.

I just have to find him without anyone realizing I’m a fraud—namely the grumpy jerk who runs this place, that I happen to be married to.

…I’m guessing he would be, shall we say,less than pleasedto find me here.

I follow the concierge into the next room, past two security guys in black suits with gold and black carnival masks covering the top halves of their faces. My mask is already on, but I still instinctively reach up to make sure it’s secure.

Another door opens, and a stunning blonde in essentially nothing but a mask and the world’s most see-through golden mesh cocktail dress—with nothing on beneath it—slips into the room, holding a wooden box. She lifts the lid wordlessly, revealing an array of bracelets in gold, green, blue, white, and other colors, accented with gold and black in various combinations.

It’s the club’s kink signifiers, so that potential playmates can look for a suitable partner. Red, for example, means you’re into sadomasochism. Red with black lines across it indicates you’re a Dom; gold lines, a submissive.

In my previous visits, I’ve always chosen white with gold, showing I’m just here as an observer. But tonight, I pick something different: light blue with gold.

It means I’mopen to persuasion.

“Enjoy your evening, Ms. Crown.”

I follow the gorgeous girl in the see-through cocktail dress down a dark hallway with matte-black walls and gold sconces. Sultry club music thuds through the floor as we enter one of the smaller side rooms.

There’s no stopping the blush that spreads across my face.

On a small couch, a naked brunette with bronzed skin and gorgeous tattoos running down both arms bounces on the lap of a muscled, even more tattooed man. It’s almost impossible not to stare at where they join, her pink pussy stretched around his girth as she rides every impressive inch, her breasts swaying.

Next to them, a dark-skinned girl has her face buried between the thighs of a blonde, making the girl squeal and moan around the thick cock fucking her throat.
