Obey and have fun. If she told herself that enough times, it might become second nature.Obey and have fun. The door beside her opened, a valet extending his hand to her. Obey and have fun. She quietly thanked the man as she waited for Danica to join her on the busy sidewalk.Obey and have fun. She trusted this woman. It was the other people she wasn’t sure she trusted to be good to her.
“Right this way, Ms. Moreau.” The bouncer opened the main entrance to Midnight, a short landing giving way to a staircasethat dipped down into the earth. Music thrummed from within. “Ms. Colbert.”
Alicia stepped back at how easily this man, whom she had only met the one day she worked at the club, said her name. What was his name again? Joe? He had quipped about her pretty hair when they briefly met a month ago. Now he recognized her as the boss’s girlfriend.
Life sure changed quickly.
“Ms. Moreau!” Shit! Now it was one of the coat check girls. “Would you care to leave us your coat tonight, ma’am?” The young woman glanced between her boss and old coworker.
“Alicia,” she said softly. As if jabbed in the ass by her word, Alicia untied the front of her coat and let it drop off her body. The coat check girl noticed Alicia’s naked midriff and arms as she took the coat. “How do things look in there?” Danica then asked the young woman.
Her full attention went to Danica when she wasn’t hanging up Alicia’s coat. “The place is rather busy, ma’am.”
“Bringing in good revenue, I should hope.”
“I should think so, Ms. Moreau.”
Danica turned Alicia’s head in her direction. “I want you to pay special attention to this club tonight, my pet. More so than when you worked here. I want to know your thoughts later.”
“Why, ma’am?”
“You’re questioning me?”
“No…” She had almost forgotten they were deep in what Danica called a “scene.” The woman wanted a more lifestyle type of BDSM relationship with her, but calling something a scene made it easier for Alicia to slip into the mindset. “Just wondering.”
“Trust me, Alicia. There’s a lot you’ll be able to take away from tonight. Let’s get going so these fine people behind us can check in.”
Alicia bit her lip. “So you can make more money off them, I’m sure.”
“See? You’re catching on already.”
She couldn’t help but wonder how much these people really spent in one night at this club.Thousands, obviously. Tens of thousands? Money matters hadn’t concerned Alicia during the short time she worked here. She didn’t conduct transactions. Her only job was to get guests settled and make sure they stayed comfortable throughout the night.
Alicia stopped wondering when they halted outside the main gallery, and Danica pulled something from her inner pocket.
A long, silver chain.
“Ma’am?” Alicia took a step back.
“You must understand, my pet.” The chain snapped between hands. “Once we walk into that room, you are my pet, and I am your Mistress. That brings with it a certain image. I didn’t get you a collar with a ring by accident.”
Alicia touched the ring in the center of her collar, eyes never leaving the end of the leash.
“Any humiliation you feel can be transformed into power.” The end of the leash tickled Alicia’s cleavage. “We feed off each other’s power.”
She said nothing as Danica snapped the leash into place. Her gentle tug against the throat sent a wild shiver down Alicia’s spine.
“You belong to me. Don’t you?”
Hard to argue when she implored like that. Alicia flicked the leash dangling between them and motioned to the other room. “You can parade my body around all you want, Mistress,” she whispered. “Know that your heart belongs to me.”
Danica kissed her, desperate to have her right now before Alicia even made her grand, kinky debut. Alicia barely registered the other couple walking by them, taking in the sight of the clubowner and her brand-new pet making out as a leash dangled between them. Did someone giggle? Did Alicia care?
“You’re damn straight my heart belongs to you.” Danica pulled away, leash still in her hand. “Be sure that you take good care of it, and I’ll be sure to take good care of all of you.”
“See that you do, ma’am.”
“See that you’re the most obedient, beautiful submissive woman out there tonight. We both have an image to maintain.”
