He nodded and then indicated that all the guys were going to a new club and asked if I was interested. I tell him no, explaining that I already have plans, and then he nods and walks away. I really didn’t have any plans, but I was thinking maybe I should talk with Butch about his offer for security at the club. I watch the last patron leave, and I lock up, turn on voicemail for the main line, and head upstairs to take a shower and change before I leave for the club.
When I arrive at The Velvet Playroom, I am buzzed in. There is a new girl at the front desk, so I introduce myself and sign in. I ask her where I can find Butch, and she suggests that he is possibly in Cosimo’s office. I thank her and headed back to the office. I knock, and I hear Cosimo’s voice asking me to enter.
“Well, John Logan, how long has it been? You join the club, get our Subs all hot and bothered, and then stop coming? The Subsmiss you very much,” Cosimo says. Cosimo then motions for me to sit in the second guest chair next to Butch. “Drink?”
I nod, and then he pours a generous two fingers of his signature bourbon, Woodford Reserve. We all take a sip and then, being the businessman that he is, he asks me if I have thought over Butch’s offer to run security.
“I have, and I just wanted to come by and work out the logistics. I work at the gym until 8:00 p.m. 6 nights a week, one of which I am in charge of closing. What hours were you thinking?”
“This place is slow until after 9:00 p.m. most nights, so let’s say Wednesday through Saturday, 9:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. We could start there and change them as needed. When do you think you could start?”
“Well, how about Wednesday? I could come in tomorrow night to go over everything that is in place currently and watch the other security guys’ routines. Will that work for you Butch?”
“Perfect. I can show you the security room, and where the cameras are located, etc. I will get a security code set up for you that gives you access to all the rooms in the club. I’m glad you can help us out. Maddie and I really need some time together, between our jobs, and this place, I haven’t been able to give her the time she needs. An unhappy Sub isn’t something anyone needs.”
We all start laughing, boy, don’t we know it.
After the meeting, Butch and I head out into the club for a drink and some conversation. About fifteen minutes later, Susan saunters up to me in a drop-dead outfit, holy shit. She proceeds to lean on the bar and whispers in my ear. “Hey stranger, where have you been? Nice seeing you at the gym today, still one fine Dom if you don’t mind me saying Sir.”
“Hello Susan, is that anyway to greet a Dom?” I ask. She immediately stands up straight and lowers her eyes. “No Sir, I am sorry Sir. I have just missed you so much.”
Maybe this is what I need tonight, to take care of a Sub and dole out some discipline. “Susan, I want you to go over to the spanking bench and prepare yourself.”
“Yes Sir, right away Sir.”
“Well, you just made her one happy Sub,” Butch states.
“Someone needs to keep her in check,” I tell him.
With that we shake hands, and I make my way to the spanking bench down the hall. When I arrive, Susan has positioned herself on the bench, already removing her barely-there leather skirt, and is waiting for her punishment. There is a small group of Dom’s and Subs that have stopped to watch. Some of the Subs look as if they are new to the club, and I can see some hesitation in their eyes. I explained to the group that this Sub addressed me out of turn, and for that she should be punished. I could see a few of the Dom’s whispering to their Subs, probably explaining the circumstances surrounding the discipline.
“Are you ready for your punishment?”
“Yes Sir, I am sorry Sir, it won’t happen again Sir.”
I walk to the wall and grab a leather flogger. I ask Susan again if she is ready, and she nods her head.
“Words Susan, or I will add ten more swats.”
“Yes Sir, I am ready for my punishment.”
With that, I don’t hesitate and start to dole out each strike, being careful not to break the skin, but to let the Sub know I mean this as a punishment and not something to enjoy. After the last strike, I turned around to look at the new Subs in the group. One of the Subs has her head hidden in her Dom’s chest, that guy has a lot of work to do. She probably won’t make it from my experience.
I help Susan up, and she thanks me, and then walks away. Thank goodness she isn’t one of the clingy Subs at the club. I walk over and speak to a few of the Doms that were present, explaining that I have been asked to be the new head of security so Master Butch can have a little bit more free time. We say our goodbyes, and I head back to the bar for a cup of coffee before heading home. That felt good, and I think taking this job might help me get back into the swing of it. I really hope Gia is open to trying this lifestyle. That woman never leaves my mind, and working with her and not touching her, is driving me crazy.
Chapter 8
Gia
Ican’t believe two weeks have gone by and the grand re-opening is tomorrow. When I enter the new studio this morning to make my final touches, the beauty of the room takes my breath away. Kenzie was so generous in giving me the reins to make my dream come true. The room is so serene. I chose a very soft and subtle beige for the walls; the floor is wood, which complements the walls. The room is longer than it is wide, with the double doors at one end and a beautiful pink lotus flower painted on the wall at the other end. There are two-foot-wide faux shelves, which sit about a foot down from the ceiling on the left and right walls, with soft lighting reflecting upwards. I havelined the far wall with battery-operated candles. Today, the mats and pillows will be delivered. I have chosen a soft mauve, which will complete the look.
Ashley stops by to offer any assistance, but I let her know that everything seems to be going well, but I do appreciate the offer.
The sound guy finished yesterday, so today is the final test to confirm everything is working correctly. He is to be here in about an hour. In the meantime, I just stand at the doorway in awe of this room. So inviting and relaxing.
“Gia, there you are. I figured you would be here. Did you forget about our meeting to finalize the new hires?” Kenzie asks.
“No, I was just getting ready to come to the office. I just wanted to take one last look before the sound guy gets here. I really hope those mats and pillows arrive before noon as promised.”
