Two nights later I was dressed in another tiny skirt and too tight top, sitting at that same booth with Dominic and Leon. I was anxious to find out what we’d do that night. Would it be the night I finally lost my virginity? Or would we do more of what we’d done the last time? I couldn’t sit still. I was just eager to get to it.
Dominic was nursing a drink while staring at the stage in thought but I didn’t let it bother me that he wasn’t as focused on me as he usually was. I took what Leon said to heart. They had things going on I didn’t know about. Maybe Dominic was thinking about a work issue or something. A guy I didn’t recognize had come over just as I sat down and whispered something to him, so it probably was a work issue. It was fine he was distracted. Especially since Leon had pulled me into his lap and was idly chatting to me about the demonstration taking place that night.
I smiled up at the camera, knowing Theo was watching, and leaned into Leon so I could whisper to him.
“Did Theo ever like being down here with everyone?”
He didn’t get to answer me, though, because suddenly Dominic stood up and looked down at me.
“I’m leading the demonstration tonight. The dom who was supposed to do it couldn’t make it. It’ll be over soon and then we can carry on with our night. Okay?”
Leon stiffened under me. “Dom…”
I shrugged, not understanding why they were both so tense. “Sure. Okay.”
He slowly rolled up his sleeves and cracked his neck before walking towards the stage. The crowd went quiet as he moved past and I could feel a new energy take over. They were excited to see him taking the stage.
“These demonstrations aren’t something we typically do, Sutton. When we first got involved, we did, but this isn’t something that happens a lot anymore.” Leon’s grip on me had tightened. “Just remember that.”
I shot him a nervous look but then Dominic was on stage and talking about canes. The idea of being caned sounded horrible to me but I’d read a few books with scenes about caning which hadn’t completely turned me off. I was excited to hear Dominic talk about it in his deep voice.
My stupidity was further proven when Dominic looked down at the audience in front of the stage and motioned to someone. He held out his hand and a beautiful woman took it. She was thin and had perky little boobs I could see because she was in just a sheer robe. A sheer robe which Dominic immediately helped her out of.
“Lauren volunteered for the demonstration tonight.” Whatever else he said was lost to me.
She’d volunteered? Why hadn’t he asked me to volunteer? Had there been an open call for volunteers I’d missed? The idea of Dominic standing on stage with another woman, a naked woman with a perfect body, had me struggling my way out of Leon’s arms.
I stood up and raised my voice over the excited murmurs of the crowd, so against the idea of Dominic having to perform the demonstration with a woman he hadn’t chosen that I found a whole lot of braveness I didn’t typically have.
“I volunteer. Sir. I’ll do it.”
“Sonofabitch.” Leon growled and tried to pull me back down but I stepped away from him.
Dominic’s face hardened on stage and when he spoke again, all friendliness and warmth was gone.
“Sit down. Do not interrupt again.”
I sat down so hard I bounced a little. While the bench caught me, it did nothing to stop my heart from sinking further and further down. I couldn’t look away as he dropped the coldness he’d shot at me and helped the other woman, Lauren, onto a large wooden cross. His movements seemed gentle and reassuring as he strapped her in and I could almost feel his hands softly brushing the hair out of her face as he spoke confidently about the structure and the correct way to strap someone into it.
I barely noticed Leon sitting next to me, leaning over to speak to me. I barely noticed when Theo showed up and sat next to me in the place Dominic normally sat. I was so focused on the way Dominic was treating Lauren I couldn’t see or hear anything else. The harsh bark of his command to sit down and to not interrupt kept playing in my head and it made the way he talked to her seem even softer. Sweeter.
When he picked up a long cane and caressed her body with it, I tried to stand up and leave. I didn’t need to watch him touch another woman like he was. I couldn’t.
Leon and Theo both grabbed my arms and pulled me back down. Leon’s voice was hard as he growled into my ear.
“Whether you like it, or not, your master told you to sit and to not interrupt.”
Theo’s admonishment was kinder but the sentiment was the same.
“It’ll be over before you know it. It’s nothing, Sutton.”
It wasn’t nothing, though. It was something and they were going to force me to watch it. Dominic ruled the stage. Everyone watched and listened to him with rapt attention. So, when he flicked the cane and lashed Lauren for the first time the entire room inhaled sharply and then leaned it to hear the responding moan from her. Another lash and moan. Another. The cane whipped faster and struck harder. Lauren writhed and moanedwhile Dominic praised her ability to take the pain. Red, angry lines appeared across her body, but she was practically begging him for more.
The room grew tense as he stopped talking and focused on Lauren. He caressed the skin he struck and when the strikes and moans came faster, he focused the cane around her inner thighs and chest. It grew in intensity until finally he sent the cane across her sex and she cried out and came. She orgasmed for Dominic right there in front of everyone, in front of me. He made her orgasm in front of me.
Leon and Theo still had their holds on me but they didn’t need to worry. I was frozen in place. I didn’t think I’d be able to move if the building caught on fire.
It wasn’t over, though. The worst was yet to come somehow.
