He lifted one shoulder. “If you want to. No pressure.”

It had never occurred to her to interact with cam girls online. She figured half of them were scammers, and it would be her luck that’s the kind she would pick to talk to.

“So, what is my assignment? Just to wear this?”

Gage laughed. “You’re not getting off that easily, little imp. You’re going to text me as you watch the party, and your assignment is to describe the things that you like the most so I can get a better understanding of what turns you on.”

“People won’t be worried if I have my phone out all night?”

Gage shook his head. “We vet our members in such a way that we trust each other. And we adhere to the responsible adult policy. Some clubs don’t allow phones and that’s reasonable. We’re careful at my club because we have so many politicians and journalists in town. But we don’t ban them completely, we just have designated spaces where they can and can’t be used.”

She thought for a minute. “I guess that makes sense.”

“So, you’re down to play long distance?”

She grinned. “Yes, Sir. I would love to.”

“Good girl. We’ll put this in right before I leave, and the battery should last my entire flight.”

For another ten minutes, he asked her questions about the kinds of things she’d enjoyed so far this weekend, and about her schedule back in New York for the next few weeks. When they were done with their beers, he picked up the pink toy again and reached for her hand. “Come on.”

“Where are we going?” she asked.

“Your choice. We can either go into the dungeon and you can bend over one of the couches so I can put this in, or we can go into one of the reading rooms and do it. But if we go into the reading room, I’m also going to give you a spanking.”

She stuck her lip out in a pout. “But why?”

He winked. “Because I can. And because it’s fun giving you choices that might require a bit of discomfort no matter what you pick.”

She wrinkled her nose. “That doesn’t seem fair.”

He squeezed her hand. “It’s not about fair. It’s about how hard it makes my cock to watch you squirm.”

She huffed and looked at the ceiling, but he didn’t let up.

“What’s it going to be, little imp? Are you going to let everyone watch me put a toy in that wet little cunt, or are you going to have a nice sore ass?”

She surprised him and herself when she asked, “What if I want both?”

His face split into a wide grin, and he hauled her to him in a one-armed hug for a kiss.

“You’re damn near perfect. Let’s go.”

He pulled her into the dungeon and looked around for a place they could play.

“Another choice for you,” he said in her ear so she could hear him above the music. “Do you want to go over my knee, or try out a spanking bench?” He pointed at a contraption in the corner, and her curiosity was triggered.

“Let’s try the bench.”

He patted her behind and nudged her in the direction of the play space. “Atta girl.”

When they got to the two-tiered rectangle made of leather and wood, he pulled her in for a tender kiss. The kiss lasted only a few seconds, before he stepped back and pulled her skirt up around her waist and lowered her panties. She stepped out of them as she stared down at his broad shoulders.

Gage winked as he stood and patted the bottom step of the spanking bench. “Up you go, pretty girl.”

He helped her climb up and showed her how to lean over the raised portion of it so that she was mostly comfortable, but her ass was definitely sticking out for everyone to see.

He pulled up a set of cuffs that were dangling from the sides of the bench and showed them to her. “I won’t use these yet, but if you try to move, I will. There’s a set at the back for your ankles too.”
