“If I am going to break convention by… assisting you. I would like something out of it as well.”
Evan sat forward ever so slightly.
Here goes nothing.“I want to try something different. Have you heard of Ravish?”
“I have.” He answered cautiously.
“Well, I would like to go there, explore, and perhaps play. I feel I’d be more comfortable doing that if I had someone I know to accompany me.” She had come this far. Other than Roxanne, she had never discussed anything like this. Not even with the few partners she had. They were so conservative. Seraphina didn’t know why she took the chance with Evan. Maybe he would judge her and rescind his offer. Is that what she had hoped for? No! She very much wanted him to say yes. Besides, he gave off the vibe he would happily take you over his knee.
“Mm.” He tilted his head as if in deep thought. “Even under normal circumstances, Ravish would not be my club of choice. Especially with my loss of sight. No, I definitely don’t want to go there.” Well, she’d taken her shot. Disappointment washed over her in waves. When she asked, she hadn’t prepared herself for his refusal. Now she wondered if she had missed out on the chance to be with him. Then hope returned as he continued, “Would you be open to my suggestion of a more exclusive club that can suit both of our needs? One where I can provide the experience you are looking for?”
Seraphina hadn’t considered Ravish’s dynamics. She could kick herself for not being more thoughtful.Whew.Evan wasn’t turning her down. He was simply providing an alternate location. “Well, that sounds promising.”
Evan smiled. It was downright predatory, the way he displayed his pearly whites. “Ideally, I think you would be more comfortable at the club I have in mind. Tell me Seraphina, do you have your passport?”
“Yes, why?”
“It’s in Chicago.”
“That’s a big trip for an… encounter.”
Evan sat back in his chair. “From what you said, this will be your first experience. It is well worth it to make it the best experience possible. I’ll send you a form to fill out so I can better gauge what your interests are. That way, we can ensure you have the most fulfilling experience.”
“Oh. You seem to take this situation seriously.”
“Very.” Evan’s voice seemed to get deeper. “Your comfort and pleasure are my primary goals.” The intensity of the way he said those words had her crossing her legs. Her body seemed on board. If she had any reservations, that was enough for her to push them to the side. She could do with a man paying her that kind of attention. Even if it was only for one night.
“Is this your thing?” She asked.
“Yes, among others, but I will send you my answers to the form you’ll fill out. It will be easier for both of us if we know what to expect.” She couldn’t help but wonder what the form included. Could she fill it out honestly and bear all her deepest desires to him?
Oh my God! Seraphina was actually going to do this. She was going to sleep with Evan Yang. On the ride back to her office, she finally asked what she should have before agreeing. “What’s the name of the place in Chicago?”
“Club Desire. I’ll be in touch with arrangements once you have finished filling out the form. You should have it by the end of the day.”
His parting words to her as she exited the car were, “And Seraphina don’t take too long to fill out the form. I can’t stress how imperative it is for you to be completely transparent with your responses. For your safety, please don’t hold anything back. The sooner you finish, the sooner we can go on our adventure.”
It was so hard to concentrate the rest of the afternoon. It wasn’t every lunchtime she went out to one of the most exclusive restaurants in the city. Then agreed to let a former client take her to a sex club. She wanted to search the club but didn’t feel comfortable enough checking it out, even on her phone, while she was still at work.
Just as she exited her office, her cell phone chimed, indicating she received an email. Her breath caught in her throat when she saw it was Evan. Seraphina was going to take the subway home, but the anticipation of looking at the form won out and she splurged on a solo ride-share trip. Even though she couldn’t wait to see the form. She followed her usual ritual when she got home.
Once she showered, and her dinner was in the oven. She finally allowed herself to open the email. One glance at the form, and she realised it was too extensive to fill out on her phone. Seraphina should have known that Evan Yang did not do things by half measures. She scrolled through the pages. There were… so many. The questions were so…what did you expect? This man wants to know what makes you tick sexually.The email also included his completed form. She was tempted to look at his answers first but was afraid it would influence her own responses.
This could be the only chance to explore this side of her sexuality. So Seraphina was determined to answer the questions as honestly as possible. The questions were thorough. It was a learning experience. There were some things that were an absolute no for her. Her willingness to try, or at the very least discover more about so many things, surprised her. Then there were other things that she never considered, but the idea of which excited her.
Once she was finished filling out the form, Seraphina was reluctant to go ahead, and press send. Instead, she started to eat her dinner, which she ignored in favour of the form.
A few minutes later, Roxanne called. “Are you eating?”
“Yeah,” she answered around a bite. If it had been anyone else, she wouldn’t have bothered to even answer, but they were super close. More like sisters.
“You brought your work home with you again, didn’t you?”
“No, not really.”
“We have laws in this province about people working after hours. All to prevent burnout.” Nothing would get Roxanne on a soap box quicker than that work-life balance. She endured the lecture because she wasn’t ready to share what she was up to with her friend. They spoke for a while, but she couldn’t keep her mind off Evan.
“Roxy, have you ever heard of Club Desire?”
