  Prologue

  S uzie stood for a few moments after Laura and James had left the room. It had been a beautiful collaring ceremony. The BDSM lifestyle was still very strange and a bit scary to her, but she was starting to think she could grasp some of the appeal.

  The slender redhead James had been talking to came up to her. "Are you all right, dear? You look a bit lost."

  Suzie tried to remember her name. This was Kate. Kate from that munch her sister had attended. "Er, yes, thank you, Kate. I'm a bit overwhelmed by all of this. I mean, the ceremony was beautiful and I can see how much James loves my sister and Laura loves him, too. But I really don't get this BDSM stuff."

  Kate linked her arm around Suzie's and took her to a red leather couch in a quiet corner of the club. "Let's talk a bit and maybe I can explain some things. Over here, we won't have to deal with the music and we can hear each other." The music had switched to the provocative sounds of Enigma and while not overly loud, it was distracting. Suzie sank down, feeling at ease with Kate. But wait, wasn't Kate a sadist? She stiffened, and Kate chuckled. "Don't worry, dear. I won't start whipping you out of nowhere. Every scene is negotiated. But it wouldn't be wise for an unattached, attractive submissive to hang around in the club unless you want the attention." Suzie casually glanced around, and Kate chuckled again. "Don't worry, the Doms won't come jumping out at you. Besides, sitting here with me means you're under my protection. No Dom will approach right now."

  Suzie sighed in relief, but then her mind whirled back to something Kate had said. "What makes you think I'm submissive?"

  Kate paused for a moment and pursed her lips. "It's a lot of little things. The way you act and react. For instance, if a virtual stranger had taken me by the arm and ordered me to sit, we wouldn't be sitting here right now."

  Suzie mulled that over. "Okay, well, maybe I'm not dominant. But I can be just normal…" She winced at the word 'normal.' Damn, she had put her foot in it, hadn't she?

  Kate didn't act insulted. "You're referring to what we would call 'vanilla.' You didn't see yourself while your sister was being collared. You liked it. You touched your neck as if trying to imagine how it would feel. You've also missed at least four or five Dominants who were eager to get to know you."

  "What do you mean?" Suzie was confused.

  "A new submissive is like a magnet for a Dom. Sometimes it seems like radar. I certainly haven't seen submissives paying attention to you. Luckily, James asked me to keep an eye on you."

  Suzie looked perplexed. "He did?"

  "Of course. You're Laura's sister. He wanted to make sure you were okay."

  Suzie nodded in understanding. "I guess I can understand that. They might not have married today, but he's like my brother-in-law now, isn't he?" Kate inclined her head and Suzie continued. "But I don't get why that makes me a submissive? I was very happy with my husband and he wasn't dominant at all."

  Kate patted her hand. "I believe you loved your husband. But isn't it possible there was something missing in your relationship?"

  Suzie thought about that for a moment. "Well, it sometimes felt like I had to take on all the responsibilities and make all the day-to-day decisions for our family."

  "Wouldn't it have been wonderful if he would have taken more responsibility?"

  "Okay, maybe you're right about that. I can see why being tied up and not being able to move could be hot. But what about punishment and pain? I really don't get that part. Why would a submissive let someone willingly hurt them? Maybe I should ask you why you like to hurt people?"

  Kate had been watching Suzie with laser-like focus and nodded. "Those are all valid questions. I think we can both agree that you're interested—more than interested—in the lifestyle. I'll try to answer your question about me." Kate settled herself more comfortably. "First of all, I only enjoy inflicting pain the submissive enjoys. I work as a massage therapist and I know how one kind of pain can ease another, release tension and strengthen a body or a person." She paused to collect her thoughts. "I like the power it gives me, especially when I get to dominate a man much bigger and stronger than I. It's a heady experience. In some ways, it's like an art to me. The human body is my canvas. I love creating patterns with ropes, markings or wax. I think the appeal to me is all these things and more. Most masochists don't just want pain for pain's sake. I can't think of anyone who gets off when they hit their thumb with a hammer. It's the combination of pain, lust, power and beauty that works for me." Kate had been looking in the distance while explaining, but now her eyes returned to Suzie. "Do you have any other questions?" Suzie shook her head. "Great, I have a proposition for you. Why don't we do a scene together?"

  Suzie frowned. "While I might be submissive, I'm fairly certain I'm one hundred percent straight."

  Kate threw back her head and let out a laugh. "Don't worry, dear—nothing sexual, nothing intense. BDSM doesn't have to be about sex, but you might find the answer to why someone would willingly submit to pain." With that, she patted Suzie's arm again and left her sitting on the leather couch.

  Suzie stared after the woman in confusion. Was she really submissive? Granted, that book Laura had loaned her was pretty hot. She loved the way James was with Laura. She had seen how her sister had changed. Laura was so much stronger now. Okay, so the lifestyle had its benefits. But why couldn't she be the one wielding the whip? As soon as the thought crossed her mind, she dismissed it. She couldn't imagine herself hurting someone deliberately. Did she want to experience a scene? Suzie couldn't believe she was considering it. But she was, wasn't she?

  Before Suzie knew what she was doing, she rose from the couch and walked to where Kate was standing. As she stood in front of the redhead, she didn't know what to say or do. Kate smiled and held out her hand. Suzie felt a weight lift from her shoulders and she placed her hand in Kate's.

  Kate walked her over to an apparatus that looked like a spider web on the wall in t
he main room. "Suzie, you've decided to do a scene with me. We have to discuss a few things before we start. Are you comfortable taking off your dress?" Suzie chewed her bottom lip and nodded. "Okay." Kate continued. "Are you okay with me touching your breasts and any part of you above the middle?" Suzie nodded again. "Legs and buttocks?" Kate inquired.

  Suzie hesitated. "Can I keep my panties on?"

  "Of course," came the quick reply. "I won't touch your pussy, either."

  Suzie exhaled slowly. She would have been very uncomfortable if a woman touched her there. "In that case, legs and buttocks are fine with me."

  Kate looked pleased. "I would like to give you two safewords. How about 'mercy' if you want to stop and 'time out' if you need me to slow down?"

  Suzie blinked. "I thought they would be red and yellow."

  Kate nodded. "Those words will always work and will be recognized in every BDSM environment. You could use either those or the ones I gave you, if needed. Last question." Now, didn't that sound ominous? "Would you prefer being bound or would you be able to keep still by yourself?"

  Oh, okay. Bondage. Suzie didn't need to think about that. She actually felt herself getting aroused by the thought. "Bondage, please."

  Kate smiled. Suzie couldn't pull her gaze away—she was completely mesmerized by the woman.

  Kate ordered her to strip and bent to pick up something from a big black bag. When she straightened, Suzie had taken off her dress and could see Kate holding black leather cuffs. It reminded her of the bracelets around the arms of the heroes in 'Spartacus.' Automatically, she held out her arm for Kate to fasten the first one. Kate tested the snug fit. "How does it feel?"

  "Good." Suzie didn't hesitate to answer, because it did feel good, like the feeling of calm and peace she felt from the moment Kate had held out a hand to her was amplified.

  Kate didn't answer, just proceeded to put on the other cuff. When that one was on and the fit was to her liking, Kate touched the band of Suzie's bra. "Would you mind if I take this off?" she asked.

  Suzie shrugged; it wasn't like she needed the bra. Her breasts were small and firm, even after two children. It wasn't like she was the only one without clothes—maybe half of the crowd had lost their attire by now. "Okay, I guess."

  Kate took her chin between forefinger and thumb. "From now until our scene ends, you'll answer either with 'Yes, Mistress' or 'No, Mistress.' The only exception is if you need to use your safeword. Am I clear?"

  Suzie gulped and squeaked, "Yes, Mistress."

  Kate smiled and let go of her chin but held her gaze. "Good." Kate stood back, so Suzie could take off her bra, then she pressed her backward to the web. Suzie moved until her back was against it. Kate pulled two items from her belt and held them up for Suzie to see. "These are quick release hooks. If needed, I can press this button and you'll be free in seconds."

  Suzie started to nod and remembered her orders. "Yes, Mistress." She was rewarded with a smile before Kate's face turned serious again.

  "Hold your arms out to the side, a little under your shoulder in height," Kate ordered and used the hooks to attach the cuffs to the web. "Can you move?"

  Suzie tried. She had some freedom but not much. "No, Mistress."

  Kate stroked her arms, and Suzie let her head fall back. She was supported by the web. She couldn't move, could only submit to the experience. She closed her eyes.

  For the next couple of minutes, she experienced different implements, starting with a soft fur glove that had scratchy points in it. It was a strange combination of sensations. Then Kate used a leathery thing, slapping her hips and upper legs until she was standing on tiptoes.

  After the stinging smacks stopped, Kate's strong, slender hands stroked the abused skin, and it felt wonderful. It was even better when Kate pressed down on a tender spot. Suzie was disappointed she had restricted the scene to no sex. Damn, she wanted to get off. She couldn't remember ever feeling this aroused.

  She heard a melodic chuckle and opened confused eyes. She stared down at the Domme who was kneeling at her feet. Didn't that seem wrong, somehow?

  Kate rose and stepped so close, her body was less than an inch from Suzie's. Suzie could feel Kate's breath and feel her body heat. She thought the other woman could probably hear her heartbeat, it seemed so loud in her chest. "You, sweetheart, aren't just a submissive; you get off on pain." Suzie started to shake her head, but Kate continued. "Don't try to deny it, Suzie." She stepped away and Suzie started to sob from the loss of the connection. Her head slumped down and she closed her eyes, willing the tears away. The next moment, she felt a wealth of little pinches on her breasts, armpits and the undersides of her arms. Her eyes flew open. Kate was putting small clothespins in a beautiful symmetrical pattern around her breasts. Clothespins? Her mind screamed. There was something odd about them—they were connected by a string. She'd never seen such a thing. She gasped and made eye-contact with Kate as the sadist held one of the clothespins between her long and slender fingers and pinched down hard as she applied it. Suzie yelped at the pain. The Domme looked her square in the eye and lifted an eyebrow. One corner of her mouth tipped up as she continued to put them on. Suzie was barely aware when Kate picked up the cord at the end of the line of pins and pulled. The clothespins attached to it came off like opening a zipper. The sensation was unlike anything Suzie had experienced before. She couldn't decide if it was pain or something else. With no warning, Suzie climaxed.

  The next sensation she was aware of, Suzie was sitting on a cushion leaning against something and heard a man's question, "Does she need something to drink?"

  A woman, maybe Kate, responded, "Not yet. Give her some time."

  She continued to float, hovering in the twilight between being awake and asleep—that tranquil place she seldom experienced for long.

  Pity she wasn't interested in women, Kate thought, looking down at the masochist at her feet. Because she was indeed a masochist. Suzie's reactions had been beyond Kate's expectations. It was not often a woman could get off without direct stimulation to her clit. Suzie's reaction to pain was the arousal Kate loved to see in a woman. She accepted the bottle of water Chris handed her. He had cleaned the scene area for her while she kept a close eye on Suzie. Aftercare was always important, especially with a first timer and most certainly when someone reacted as Suzie had. Suzie stirred and Kate adjusted the blanket that gave both warmth and security to a sub after a scene. Chris made eye contact with Kate, and she understood the unasked question. She nodded for him to go ahead.

  Chris took back the water bottle and knelt before Suzie. "Drink," he ordered, holding the bottle to her lips. Obediently, she opened her mouth and swallowed. Submissive all right! Chris followed the water with rich dark chocolate.

  How had they known it was her absolute favorite? she thought. When she had finished the bite, he let her drink some more. Suzie started to show interest in her surroundings. She was leaning against Kate's legs. They were solid and warm against her back. She was wrapped in a soft blanket, with Chris kneeling in front of her.

  "How are you feeling?" he asked.

  "Great," Suzie said with a breathy voice and a lazy smile.

  Kate stroked her hair. "You did so well, sweetheart. I'm so grateful you were willing to share this first time with me. You're beautiful in your submission."

  Suzie felt safe and happy and cared for. It reminded her of an event from her childhood. She had been separated from her mother while they were out shopping and had been convinced she had been abandoned. When her mother had found her, she'd been filled with relief and contentment. What she was experiencing now was almost the same.

  She tried to get up but staggered. Both Chris and Kate reached out to steady her. She moaned as Kate touched a particularly tender spot at the side of her breast.

  Kate chuckled and whispered in her ear, "You're even lovelier in your masochism." Suzie's pussy wept with moisture as the Domme kept pressure on the sore spot.

  "Come here, sweet thing,
" Chris said as he picked her up and carried her to the couch with Kate close behind. The three of them sat down on the couch to talk until Kate was positive Suzie would be okay after their scene. Chris offered to take her home.

  "But what would we do with my car?" Suzie inquired.

  "No problem, sweet thing. I came here with James and figured to go home in a taxi. I can take one from your house instead." Chris winked. "I could stay over if you like?"

  Kate swatted his arm. "You incorrigible flirt. You couldn't resist, could you?"

  Chris grinned. "I promise to behave like a perfect gentleman."

  Kate scoffed but turned to Suzie. "What about it, Suzie? Either Chris or I will take you home. Although the scene wasn't long or intense, sub drop can happen and I would like for you to have someone with you. At least for the ride home."

  "What's sub drop?"

  Chris jumped in before Kate could answer, "Sub drop is something that can happen after an intense scene or any scene, really; it all depends on the submissive. Anyway, scenes can bring out deep emotions, not right away, but a little after. Then the sub may drop into a depression and it can take days to get out of it. But if you have someone with you who can help you through the initial feelings then it's much less likely to be a problem.

  Suzie thought about it for a moment before she answered, "The children are with my father and Mary. If it wouldn't be an imposition, I'd like to have your company, Kate." She turned to Chris. "No offense, Chris, but Kate was the one I did the scene with."

  Chris took her hand in his and kissed the top of it. "None taken, sweetie." He kissed Kate on the cheek and sauntered away.

  "Chris," Kate called after him, and he stopped in his tracks. "Take my car." She unclipped her keys from her belt and held it up.

  Chris swaggered back and took the keys from her. He smirked, "How you always take care of me. You really want to serve me, don't you?"

  Kate shook her head. It was a running joke between the two of them. She didn't know what to make of their strange attraction. For now, she needed to concentrate on Suzie. She and Chris would address their issues later. With that resolved, she stood up and urged Suzie to do the same. "Let's get you dressed and home, dear."
