I sniffle and bump him with my arm.
“You’re actually quite sweet when you want to be.”
“You better not fucking tell anybody.”
“My lips are sealed.”
“Good, now let’s go back inside. I think your mom made cheesecake.”
I laugh and nod my head, because honestly, cheesecake sounds amazing and any more introspection I might just combust.

HONEY
The locationfor the Key Club is wholly separate from Avalon. One guest will enter through the current pathway that I’m entering from and the other entrance is on the other side.
Clara gives me a warm smile as she leads me down the hall and directs me to two doors. Both of them are black, one with a gold circle and the other with a heart.
“The heart is for the larger glory hole that a potential partner’s bottom half can go through. The circle is just the signature glory hole experience. I know your preference is for women, but if you are interested in pegging, you can also partake in that section.”
I blink at her, and she just nods, opening the door and leading me inside.
“This would be your side of the entrance.”
The room is simple. Dimly lit, a table on the left and a panel with buttons on the right. The walls are black with gold light fixtures and nothing remarkable in the space. It’s simple, direct, and most of all, discreet.
“The most ideal position for this type of glory hole would be her legs pushed back against her own body. A bit of an air-tight seal,” Clara jokes as I inspect the half-heart shaped entry.
“Your partner for the evening will be first to arrive. Your door will not unlock until they hit the green button. Announcing that they are ready. You will also be the first to leave after your scene is finished. We understand that anonymity is our clients’ highest concern with being a member of the Key Club and we want to make sure we help keep the mystery alive.”
“Limits?” I ask and Clara leans against the dark wall, her tablet in hand.
“Current membership includes use of the Key Club twice a week. When you log in to the portal, you will be able to see your selected scene partner’s limits before requesting to book with them. We will provide a list upon arrival as a reminder as well. Guests are allowed to bring in any additional toys or items as long as they are approved by your pre-scheduled partner.”
Clara is efficient and direct with her answer. She’s part of the reason I finally caved and got a membership. She’s no bullshit and a hell of a saleswoman.
“You mentioned a green button?”
“Each side has safeguards,” she points to the three buttons. “Simple red, yellow, green to signify limits if needed. There is also an alert button on both sides if you need someone from the club to step in. Music is optional, but the wall is thick enough it’s hard to hear the person on the other side. The preference is up to you.”
I nod my head and inspect the room. Everything Avalon does is luxe, and well thought out—this space is no exception.
It’s clean, simple, and straightforward.
Exactly how I want it.
No feelings, no niceties, just raw fucking.
“Have you uploaded your profile?” she asks.
“Not yet. I’ll do it tonight.”
“We’ve gotten multiple new members because of this new room. We already have sixty people in the database.”
“How many of them are men?”
“I’ll have to look when I get back to my desk,” she replies with a cringe.
