She tilted her face to the sun, pausing before she walked through the next patch of overgrown weeds.
When they first bought this house she kept thinking this secluded property would make the perfect bed-and-breakfast, a kinky escape that would give guests a chance to explore their desires, a place to run workshops.
They’d have room for a walking garden, a couple of outdoor play areas, and a garden kitchen.
Back when they first bought this property, the girls were still living at home, and Zee was determined to open Club Bandit.
At the time he pointed out that it was easier to hide one sex club on their property than it would be to manage multiple cottages scattered across the land.
He was probably right.
Still, Ella secretly thought the girls must have at least some inkling about the old building at the front of their property.
Zee’s reasoning for placing Club Bandit at the front of the property made sense—far enough from their main house to keep things discreet.
Their house sat on a slope with a perfect view of the club, while there were already parking spaces ready to go.
If they put the kinky bed-and-breakfast back here, though, they’d have to add more parking, and it’d be an enormous construction project.
Ella snipped through a patch of stubborn twigs, clipping away furiously, letting herself imagine the space she’d dreamed about.With the woods and the stream that trickled through this part of land, it would be the perfect spot for a kinky retreat.
And when the ground is covered with snow?Ella shook her head, smiling at her own silly daydreams as Zee’s voice in her head crashed through her thoughts.
Okay, so they’d have to deal with walking to the different buildings in bad weather, but she still thought there was something to her idea.
Their members had asked for more nights where Club Bandit was open and more private rooms, so they expanded Club Bandit by renovating the third floor for a glass cube viewing room.
There was no reason it couldn’t work, and she couldn’t wait to talk about it with her friends.
But she had details to add to the anniversary dinner plans, and speaking of friends, her phone buzzed and she smiled, seeing Ivy Powell’s number.
“Hi Ivy, I was just thinking about how everything was going for the dinner.You and Gabe are still coming in, yes?”
“Ella, I wouldn’t miss this for the world.That’s what I’m calling for.I told Zee I’d keep the members informed of how the evening was going to go, and there was a question if you’d have corsets for sale?”
“I have a few ready.I can talk to my website person, and ask if she can make a pre-order page if they want something custom but it won’t be ready in time.”
“It does give people an option.Okay, I’ll pass on the word.”
“Ivy, you’ve heard me say that I want a kinky bed-and-breakfast, but so many people have asked us to expand over the years.
What if we were to build new facilities on the back lot of our property?Would you call it a bed-and-breakfast or a club?”
“A luxury BDSM club that offers guests a hidden escape,” Ivy said, her tone thoughtful and warm.“A bed-and-breakfast doesn’t quite have the right ring to it.But, Ella, if you do this, it has to be exclusive.No events open to the public.”
“It’d be exclusive.I want pathways, gardens, and an outdoor stage.I want the woods manicured enough for guests to play outside but still to have enough privacy.I still want cute cottages for people to stay in.I want a communal space for eating, where Doms can relax, a space just for submissives, and interconnected dungeons for every taste.”
“That sounds like a dream,” Ivy said.“But if anyone can pull this off, it’s you and Zee.”
“Just something I think about from time to time.”
“I like it!”Ivy’s cheerful tone made her smile.“I can’t wait to see you!”
They said goodbye, and Ella cleared another bundle of weeds until her arm felt tired.
She fired off a text to Zee and then started gathering her tools.
Miss you.I want to expand Club Bandit and make it bigger and kinkier than ever!
