This is not something I’d normally do. Grabbing my phone, I pull up the Den of Sin website, and the first page I go to is about consent.
The safety of our patrons is our highest priority. All activities are consensual. If you are suspected to be involved in non-consensual activities, your membership will be revoked immediately. There will be no refunds of membership fees.
I go look at the membership page, and nearly stroke out, when I see the non-refundable application fee of one-hundred thousand dollars. That’s a lot of money. It said that’s for men, and there’s no fee for women, but I’m going to make sure, because I don’t have that kind of cash.
CHAPTER 4
LINCOLN
December 23, 2025
As I’m goingthrough my order of items I purchased for tomorrow night, my phone chimes with a text alert. I look at it and can’t help the grin that overtakes my face.
Ella:Thank you for the package, sir. This dress is so beautiful. I do have a question, though. There are three sets of lingerie. What do you want me to wear?
I’m lost for a moment, as I imagine how gorgeous she’ll look in all three.
Me:You’re welcome, sweetheart.I’m hoping you’ll let me take photographs of you in all three. If you’re open to that, bring them with you. If you’re not, that's fine. You can choose which you wear under your dress. Surprise me.
When a picture comes through, I nearly lose my fucking mind. It’s a photo of her sitting on a bed, but it only shows her spread thighs with the black lacy lingerie on one leg, and the red on her other.
I groan as I squeeze my hard length. It’s been a long time since I wanted a woman like this. The last time was a fuckingdisaster, and the reason I only do one night hook ups. If it weren’t for what Rebecca put me through, I’d want more with Ella. I already know one night will not cure my craving, but it’s all I’m capable of.
Me:Fuck, sweetheart. I can’t wait to have your pussy dripping for me.
Four words from her have me salivating, and ready to say fuck my plans and drive to her now.
Ella:It already is, Sir.
Me:Get lots of sleep tonight, Ella, because tomorrow you’ll get none.
Her response is quick, and only makes me harder.
Ella:Yes, Daddy.
Fuck. I shouldn’t like that because, for my personal preferences, that’s only a term used in long-term relationships. A Daddy takes care of his submissive in all ways. I can’t do that with her, or anyone else. Not anymore.
While I should text her back and correct her, I don’t, and I’m not sure why.
I sigh and text my buddy Sin, who owns the BDSM club.
Me:Heads up. A young woman named Ella Jacobs will be coming tomorrow night. She’s not a member, but she’ll be with me.
Sin:For a man so obsessed with his own set of rules, it’s amazing how you can’t follow mine.
I send him a middle finger emoji instead of an actual response. He knows I’ll follow his biggest rule, which is consent. Having her fill out the official membership application is ridiculous. Ella will only be with me, and honestly, I don’t want her to be a member. Seeing her with other men, after our night together, is probably more than I can handle. I fucking tried to get her out of my mind but I couldn’t. My assistant suggested I get rid of the pictures of her that line my office walls. I couldn’tbring myself to do it. Will once be enough? I don’t know, but it’s all I’ve got.
CHAPTER 5
ELLA
December 24, 2025
I glanceat my cell phone and begin to panic, when I realize I have ten minutes before I’m supposed to be waiting for him downstairs. He promised me if I wanted to leave, his driver would take me home. Maybe I’m naive, but I believed him.
I apply my red lipstick and toss it in my red clutch. L made sure I had everything for tonight. Three sets of lingerie, a red lace halter dress, a purse, andLouboutinsthat probably cost more than I spent on my car. The diamond jewelry is making me question if this is only for one night. Who spends this much on a one night stand?
I take one last look in the mirror, inspecting my smoky eye makeup, before I put on the mask he sent. It’s gorgeous, with red lining the edges, the rest I’m fairly certain is rose gold, with gems across the top that look suspiciously like diamonds. If they’re real, I have to wonder if L is in the mob or something. It’s all so much.
