“Yes.Until Sunday for Submissive Discussion night.”Ella laughed.“We have three new submissives coming, obviously recommended by members.”
Club Bandit had tried to open its doors to the public a smattering of times over the years.
The last attempt was having public play parties.
But it was so much work to screen non-members that Ella was relieved when the founding members voted against it.Guests of members were welcome, but they had to be pre-screened.
“Oh, I love newbies,” Helena said.“They scare so easily.”
“That’s not the point of Submissive Discussion Night,” Ella said.“The topic is nonverbal safety cues during a scene.”
“I have a demo planned if we have time” Helena smiled, her eyes bright.
“Your demos are always good,” Ella said.But her heart wasn’t in it.
She loved co-hosting these submissive discussion nights, but this was the first one where she hadn’t put a lot of energy into planning it.
Ella hadn’t ordered catering for the night, hadn’t sent an email reminder to the registered guests who were coming, and she hadn’t checked to see if one of their helpers had availability that night.
Ella cleared the teacups, trying to shake off her moody thoughts.
Her phone beeped, with a text from Zee.
Get over here, dear heart.
Totally silly how her pulse jumped at the text and the grin on her face spread.
“I’ve been summoned,” Ella said, putting down her phone.
“Then let’s not keep your Master waiting.”Helena grabbed her bag from the coffee table, walked with Ella to the front door and slipped on her heels.
“I thought of buying myself a plane ticket and going out there.Isn’t that naughty?”Ella grabbed her jacket, throwing it on.
Helena’s rich laugh made Ella grin in return.
“No.The difference between you and me is I would already be on that plane, not here serving.”Helena held the door open for Ella.“But that’s why you’re his faithful slave and I’m a Domme.”
“Yeah.”Ella set the security system, locked the door and followed Helena to her car, pushing away her jumble of emotions.
She bit the inside of her cheek, knowing that if she told her best friend Nora what happened over the plane ticket, Nora wouldn’t get it.
Ella was grateful Helena understood even if she wouldn’t live the way Ella does.
“Ella, even if something is distracting Zee, you know he only has heart and eyes for you.Maybe he’s not done processing it, whatever it is, and when he’s ready, he’ll tell you.”
“I know.I want to nag.”Ella shook her head, the thought silly.
“But you won’t,” Helena said.
“I won’t.”
Rolling down their estate to Club Bandit, Ella glanced out the window, taking in the twilight sky, the forest in the back lot, the fields they hadn’t gotten to yet along with the three cabins.
Zee had given her adventure over the years.
He was a great husband and father, and if she got overwhelmed by the 24/7 role, she knew her Dominant did too.
She trusted Zee, and all her thoughts were probably a needless exercise causing her worry.She could do what was expected of her and ask for what she needed.
