Bristling, I finally found the courage to ignore his sexual prowess, ducking under his arm and immediately heading for the elevator’s entrance.
He obviously didn’t like being ignored, snatching my arm before I had a chance to step off. As he pulled me closer, he lowered his voice. “You need to understand something, Selena. The only guests I’ve invited to either one of the islands are those who pay a significant amount of money for a three-day vacation and a guided tour of the island and every facility. Outsiders aren’t welcome. Reporters aren’t allowed. For all practical purposes, and to the lay person, the two islands are still uninhabited. Hence the need for privacy, especially considering the membership options. Reputations can be ruined quickly, even in this day and age.”
I found myself sucking in and holding my breath.
“My clients expect anonymity, privacy, and they refuse to tolerate anyone attempting to derail their exclusive vacation. One they paid handsomely for. On staff are the most well-trained guards in the business, masters of enforcing the rules and extermination if necessary.”
“Extermination?”
He lifted a single eyebrow, the effect highlighting his chiseled features. “My brothers and I do what it takes. Our clients expect no less.”
Why did I have the distinct feeling the man was just trying to intimidate me?
He pulled away, taking my hand into his. I marveled that the elevator doors were still open, half laughing when they closed as soon as we walked out.
“You will follow the rules as they are provided without question. As far as everyone here is concerned, I am your master. Do I make myself clear?”
“Master?”
Everything about the man was authoritative and as he led me in through set of double doors, I was shocked that it wasn’t dark and the people weren’t dressed in fetish clothing. In fact, the room was bright, the music light jazz, and the people were dressed as if attending a ball, not a kink club. The room was huge and beautifully decorated, people doing nothing more than enjoying spending time together while others were engaged in acts of voyeurism, participants of sex and kink acts performing on slightly risen stages, every location highlighting a different look, a different feel and from my limited experience, completely different acts.
Including orgies.
“Fuck,” I whispered, fighting nerves I didn’t know I had. I was ripped with anxiety but the environment, the people, and even the music were exciting.
“Not what you expected?” he asked, highly amused as he glanced at my face.
“Not even close. Where are the dungeons, the flogging?”
He laughed as if I had to be making a joke. “Flogging is encouraged. The dungeons are by special request, but they do exist. I’ll be happy to share every act, every room with you if that’s what you’d like. For now, you will act as my submissive. And you will call me your master. Appearances are everything.”
“And if I don’t?”
The way he pinched my chin between two fingers created a flutter of butterflies in my stomach, but it was what he said that created a wave of electricity.
“Then, my tasty treat, you will be punished severely. Only this time, it won’t be with just my hand.”
Why did that excite me so much?
CHAPTER 19
Selena
“You will be punished severely…”
The brusque statement lingered on one side of my brain, the command that he’d issued on the other.
Master.
The word alone represented so many things I hated. What I learned after only a short time was that it meant something different to every couple.
It also angered me.
However, not enough that I wasn’t tingling all the way to my toes.
As Valerio had guided me through various areas, I learned quickly that things weren’t always what they seemed. Plus, intermixed with the guests dressed to the nines, as my mother would call it, there were others where the submissive partner was wearing costumes. Some were kitties. Some were dressed as puppies. There were also witches and rabbits but almost all were wearing a collar of some sort, leashes attached to a huge ring.
“How big is this place?” I asked, sounding so innocent I wanted to cringe.
