“I think the reason you’re feeling the way you are is nobody has taken your hand and led you through this. Dr. Bastian is a great man. He will make one hell of an owner, but you have to be willing to accept your role here.”
“What is my role…exactly?”
“Be there for him. That doesn’t mean slave after him or take beatings or any of the wicked stuff you might imagine. It simply means that you’re there for him and won’t leave him. You’re…kind of…like a wife…only we don’t really believe in marriage. We believe in owners and pets and swinging as a way of life.”
“Swinging? Like we’ll have different partners?”
“Yes, dear. That’s what E. Mayberry is all about. It’s total immersion in pleasure. Pleasure of the mind, pleasure of the body, pleasure of the soul…it’s like having a spiritual awakening where all you need to do is be happy and make othe
rs happy. What could be wrong about that?”
Wow. She had a point. How could anyone argue with her? But still. I was supposed to share Bastian? I mean, I’d had sex with so many strangers, some of which were married now that I think about it. So their husbands or wives had accepted the lifestyle they were into. Some of the adult actors and actresses were married to each other. I supposed this was sort of the same thing. Sex was just about pleasure. Had I died and gone to heaven…or hell?
“I just…I feel…”
“I know who you are,” she said. “I’ve seen some of your films. I’m like you here. I might look all uptight in this office and in this suit but you better believe when I get home, I take my pet and he fucks me like you wouldn’t believe. Every…single…night. And whenever we want, I let him go play with other owners and pets and I do the same. It’s an UH…mazing way of life, let me tell you.”
“So I won’t be forced to do things with other men?”
“Or women,” she added. “You’ll never be forced. But one of the things you need to learn to embrace here in this community is complete openness, no judgments, all pleasure. If you find a man to be overweight and he wants you, why deny him? Find the sexiness in it. If you’re not into women but a female woman wants you, why not give it a whirl? It’s not about love or commitment to anyone other than your owner. It’s about…”
She leaned closer to me and whispered as loud as she could, “…Coming…”
She leaned back in her chair and her hand slid down beneath her desk. Maybe it was my imagination but I was pretty sure she was touching herself, getting off on the thoughts she’d had to conjure up to try and help me have a breakthrough.
“It’s about having the best orgasms you can ever imagine…alone…in front of everyone…whenever and wherever you want,” she said.
“And if I’m not comfortable sharing Bastian with the rest of the community?” I asked.
“Sweetie, this is our way of life. I’m going to try to say this as nicely as I can but you’re going to need to accept it and have some fun of your own, or you need to…you know…get the fuck out.”
She launched into loud boisterous laughter and slapped the desk at her own joke. At first I thought she was being a serious bitch but then it seemed more like she was being blunt and wanted to say it like it is. Finally she calmed down and took a deep breath.
“Baby girl, listen. I’m here if you ever need to talk. I might even call you out for some play time if you don’t mind…” she said.
I didn’t know how to respond.
“Read through that rule book again and again to make sure you totally get it. Remember, pets are never allowed to play with other pets unless both owners agree to it and it’s for their viewing pleasure or it’s a group thing or part of a game at a party or something. In group things, all bets are off. Everyone gets to have a good time. Oh and you’re gonna need to start your classes tomorrow,” she said.
“My classes?” I asked.
I must’ve missed that part somewhere along the line.
“It was in the welcome package,” she said.
“I didn’t get a welcome package,” I replied.
“I am going to kick that Bastian’s ass!” she yelled followed by more laughter. “He acts like you’re his first pet or something. Come on!”
This was the first I’d heard about any previous pets. I wondered how many he’d had in the past and why they were no longer with him.
“I’ll make sure you get a welcome package before you leave here today. Anyway, yes, you’ll need to take some classes. You’ll have four of them and you’ll find a schedule in the package but you’ll definitely be starting tomorrow. The classes are to make sure you know how to please your owner. I’m sure you’re good with all your movie experience and stuff but some people come in here having never given a fuckin’ blowjob. Can you believe that shit? Some of these owners go out lookin’ for fuckin’ virgins to bring into a place like this. If you think you’re freakin’ out, imagine how a virgin would feel. You’d be shittin’ bricks after seein’ that scene out at the pool!”
I thought back to when I’d lost my virginity at fourteen. Yes, I would’ve freaked the fuck out if I’d been brought to a place like this. Yet, even before my fifteenth birthday I would have been totally psyched by it all. I’d quickly gone from virgin to experienced lover in less than a year.
Vivi slapped her desk again and laughed along to the beat. I was trying to concentrate on all the things she was saying but all that kept going through my mind was her previous statement about me not being Bastian’s first pet.
“So yeah, the classes are easy, they’re gonna teach you how to give head, show you how to do a proper handjob,” she continued. “You’ll be assigned the latest edition of the Kama Sutra, filled in on some of the latest kinks, taught how to use all the toys and bells and whistles…you know. Basically, the teachers will make sure you don’t totally suck at being a pet. You won’t after these classes. Believe me.”
