“So they are voyeurs?”
“I had a feeling you knew more about this lifestyle than you ever let on.”
“I may have dug around a little online over the years. But never anything like this,” she said as they made their way to the bar.
Ozzie pulled a stool out for her and ordered them drinks while Sofia’s eyes roamed the club. It wasn’t overcrowded, but there were people gathering around the stage. Some were dressed in a range of nearly nothing, to three-piece suits. One woman was not only wearing a collar but a leash and when the man she was with took a seat, she sat on the floor next to him. Sofia couldn’t see herself ever willing to try anything that extreme, but it seemed the woman was more than pleased with their current situation.
“Are you doing okay?” Ozzie asked as he handed her a vodka and water.
“Yes. I’m good, more than good actually. This place is kind of amazing.”
“As amazing as chocolate cake?”
“Let’s not go overboard,” she said with a laugh.
“Do you want to stay and watch, or would you like to look around?”
“Let’s look around. I’m interested in what else this place offers.”
The large room had a few different hallways that were all lit with lamps, keeping things dim and sultry. Ozzie moved her from room to room and she observed more than she had bargained for. Each room had a theme. Some were more risqué than others, but the layout seemed to work well. If you were someone with specific needs, all you had to do was make your way to the room that catered to you. She saw everything from dungeons to medical offices, even a room with a small pool and spa set up. When they got back to the main room, he escorted her down another hallway. Each of the doors was closed, and they had numbers on them with locks that looked like they were hotel rooms. Ozzie pulled his phone out of his pocket and pressed a few buttons. A green light lit and she heard it unlock before he pushed it open.
“This is ours for tonight.”
“You can rent rooms?”
“Yes.”
“Are they all this nice?” she asked after they stepped inside.
“Do you remember when I told you The Citadel was whatever a person needed?”
“Yes.”
“These rooms are a perfect example of that. When I booked the room, I requested a king-size bed, the toys I’d prefer for the night and a bar with water and snacks for you. Other rooms could comprise just toys or different apparatus for people to play out the scenes they wish. These rooms are one of a kind. No one does anything like this. No one but Roman.”
Sofia made her way over to the bed and sat down. “How long have you been a member here?”
“About five years.”
“So you come here to... to sleep with women?”
Ozzie crossed the room, sat down on the bed, and pulled her into his side. “Not in the way that you might think. I have certain desires that I come here to have met. Sometimes it was with another member of the club, sometimes I just came alone to watch. I like to watch. It’s one of my favorite parts of this lifestyle.”
“So you are a voyeur too, then?”
He laughed, “Yes, along with other things.”
“What kind of things?”
“I think you already know some of them.”
“Breath play. You want to choke me, don’t you?”
Ozzie’s hand ran up along her side until his finger grazed her neck. “More than anything in this world.”
“But why didn’t you... why didn’t you do it yet?”
“Sofia, I would never subject you to something I wanted without you knowing what it was all about. Your compliance or submission isn’t something I’d take lightly. Tonight I want to show you everything and then you can decide what you will do and what you won’t do.”
