Plus, he was a cop and Aidan’s friend. That helped, too.
Dmitri opened the door, and the second he did, the sounds of pleasure mixed with screams that rang with something that sounded suspiciously like pain brushed Ella’s eardrums. An odd sense of excitement mixed with nervousness engulfed her.
This she had to see.
She entered Club Sin and the sensual noises further engulfed her, kicking up her heart rate to match the beat of the hard-rock song. She must have absentmindedly stopped walking, because Kyler tugged her forward. And she was only too glad that he held her hand, because she surely couldn’t look in the direction she was walking.
She scanned the dungeon, barely taking it all in. The large room was simple enough, with numerous black leather couches that had chandeliers over them. The space wasn’t entirely dark, but the lighting was low and intimate. Sconces hung against the stone walls, giving a soft, romantic glow.
The décor of the club held her focus for only a millisecond, as her gaze landed on a bench where a woman was placed over the top of it. Tied down with ropes on her wrists, legs, and back, she couldn’t move as a man used a black wooden paddle on her bottom.
Ella’s eyes widened and her face flushed. She’d heard of BDSM and the kinky lifestyle during college, so she wasn’t completely clueless to it all. Still, taking all this in was a mental adjustment that she had trouble processing.
When Kyler had told her he belonged to a BDSM club, it actually didn’t surprise her as much as she thought it ought to. In fact, it seemed to fill in the missing pieces that she couldn’t figure out about him. He did have the whole bossy thing going on, and being dominant suited him.
The spanking, his domineering nature, and the dirty talk … yeah, that’s so Kyler.
When he’d told her about Club Sin she had become
aroused, and that’s what led her there tonight. Had she ever imagined coming to a place like Club Sin? No. Could she see herself doing BDSM? Possibly. She was aroused by the idea of it, and that, along with her challenge, meant she needed to act.
Some things were so complicated. Other things were not.
As they strode farther into the dark club, she glanced from the wooden X with a women being flogged, to another woman suspended in the air by ropes. The woman on the X had red marks along her torso. The one suspended in the air was being penetrated by a tall, muscular man. Ella’s body temperature rose like she had a fever.
The sexual acts going on around her didn’t horrify her.
They revved her libido.
Images of her doing such wicked things, being tied up and spanked by Kyler, rushed into her mind, making her lower half achy. She shivered, squeezing her legs tight against her throbbing clit. Then she found herself plowing into a strong back. “Oh, shit.” She gasped.
Before she could tumble over, Kyler grasped her by the arms and chuckled. “A little stunned, are you?”
“It’s …” She blinked, seriously hating how red her face must look. “It’s a lot to take in at once.”
“It is.” He ran his hands down her arms, bringing heat. The twinkle in his eyes declared he enjoyed her ruffled state. He gestured to his left. “I’d like you to meet Porter and Kenzie, both members of Club Sin.”
Ella looked next to her, realizing they had stopped beside a couch. Dressed in a gray T-shirt and jeans, the man with the soft hazel eyes and stylish brown hair grinned at her, as did the strawberry-blond woman with the darker hazel eyes that held a bit of sass. Kenzie wore red lace lingerie, and that’s it. Ella began to feel like a woman seriously overdressed. “Oh, sorry. Hi, I’m Ella.”
“Nice to meet you, Ella,” Porter said with a low, smooth voice.
“You have that whole dazed look going on.” Kenzie smiled. “You must be new to the lifestyle?”
“Um, yes,” Ella replied.
Was she even new to the lifestyle? Hell, she wasn’t sure what she was with it, other than she was there in the club. She glanced to Kyler with raised brows, wondering what to say next.
He laughed loudly, wrapping his arm around her. “Ella is here to find out if she might like what she sees.”
“Oooh, enjoy yourself.” Kenzie bounced in her seat. “The first look into the lifestyle is always the best. Well, until your first scene, which is much better.”
“First scene?” Ella repeated.
Kyler tugged her toward the couch across from Porter and Kenzie, dropping down and pulling her with him. “When a Dom and a submissive play together, it’s called a scene.”
“Gotcha.” Though she really didn’t understand how the whole Dominant/submissive relationship worked. While she understood the meaning of BDSM, she didn’t understand what was expected of the women in Club Sin.
A gazillion questions hung on the tip of her tongue. She also wasn’t about to ask any of them with two people around her she didn’t know. Don’t look too inexperienced, Ella. She finally looked from Kyler to Porter to Kenzie, who all watched her. What does one say in this incredibly awkward moment? So, you come here to fuck?
