Chapter 28 #3
“Just a little shopping. Had to bring my lovely wife to get some new toys.”
I elbow Massimo, and he lets out a humorous grunt, which Cassius laughs at.
“Well, if you’re done in here, you should check out the club.”
“Always appreciated, but we need to get home. It’s not really my wife’s scene.”
“Excuse me?” I interrupt. “How would you know if it’s my scene or not?”
Massimo raises a brow as he looks down at me. “I assure you, it’s not.”
“And I assure you that you don’t know what is and is not my scene,” I say, challenging him.
What on earth am I doing? Coming to a sex toy shop, let alone a sex club, was not in the plans tonight, but for some reason, having Massimo speak for me as if he knows what I do and do not like rubs me the wrong way.
His smile never fades. In fact, it seems to broaden at my words. He gives me one last look, as if to say Are you sure, and when I don’t say anything, he turns back to Cassius. “Well, that settles it, then. My wife has spoken. Looks like we’ll be doing a little playing tonight.”
My stomach hollows out. Wait, did I … What the hell did I just get myself into? Virgins don’t belong in sex clubs. What am I supposed to do in there? And with Massimo?
Cassius’s mouth breaks out into a smile, and he says, “Well, alright then. Follow me this way.”
My heart hammers in my chest as we make our way back out to the hallway. As Massimo leads me toward the other hallway that leads to the club, my mouth dries up.
Before we get to the door, he stops me, turning me to face him. “You do understand that on the other side of that door is a sex club, right?”
I nod.
“Words, mia moglie. You need to use your words or else I’m turning you around and taking you out of here.”
“Yes,” I breathe out. “Yes, I know there’s a sex club on the other side of that door. One I’m very interested in experiencing.”
I don’t know why I said that. I have no business being in there, but also, there’s a part of me that’s a little curious.
“And you’re sure you’re okay with that?”
I tilt my head up at him. “Perfectly so, but with the way you’re acting, maybe I should be asking you if you’re okay with it.”
“You’re a virgin, Liana. Have you ever even been in a sex club before?”
“Have you?” I say, quirking a brow at him.
“Of course I have.”
“Figures,” I mumble under my breath.
“It was several years ago. I was much younger, and it wasn’t this one. Cassius and his brother just opened this spot a few years ago.”
Taking my face in his hands, Massimo angles me toward him and looks deep into my eyes. “I don’t know why you’re doing this, but we don’t have to go in there. Just say the word and I’ll take you home.”
I should probably take him up on that, but the curious side of me takes control. “No, I already told you. I want to go.”
He looks back and forth between my eyes as if he’s trying to read through my words, but he finally says, “Alright, fine. We’ll go in, but I want you to have a safe word.”
“A safe word?”
“Yes, in case you want to le—”
“No, I know what it is. I might be a virgin, but I don’t live under a rock. I’m just … Do you think I’ll need one?”
“Listen, nothing bad will ever happen to you in there. Not only do Cassius and Caspian have the best security and only the highest clientele that have a lot to lose if anything bad were to happen here, but I will be with you the entire time. You got it?”
I give him a nod.
“Words, mia moglie.”
“Yes,” I breathe out.
“Whenever you want to go, just say blue, and I’ll take you out of there.”
“Okay,” I say, not sure how to take this protective, nurturing side of him.
“You also need to know … There are rules when it comes to sex clubs.”
My eyes widen. “What do you mean?”
“They’re to keep everyone and everything safe and clean.”
“You two ready?” Cassius asks.
Massimo pauses, trying to get a good read on me once more. When I nod at him, he drops his hands from my face and turns around. “We are.”
Pushing the door open, Cassius holds it open for Massimo and me to walk through. It opens into an area where a man and woman stand at a tall desk.
“Mr. Sulla, how are you tonight?” the young woman greets.
“Amazing, Nadia, and you?” Cassius says.
“Very well, sir.”
“I need to meet with my brother, but can you please make sure my friends, Mr. and Mrs. Bonetti are taken care of tonight? This is their first time, and I want you to make sure their experience is one to remember.” He gives her a charming smile, and she nods in return, almost as if she’s captivated by him.
“Of course, Mr. Sulla.”
“Great.” He claps his hands and turns back to Massimo and me. “Nadia will go over the rules with you, and if you need anything, don’t hesitate to ask any one of the attendants inside. I need to meet with Caspian, but if you need me, you have my number.” He nods to Massimo.
“Appreciate you, Cassius.”
“Enjoy your time,” he says, then gives us both a wink before disappearing down a hallway off to the side.
“Would you both like a tour of the facility?” Nadia asks.
“That won’t be necessary,” Massimo says.
“Very well,” she says with a smile. “The women’s area is to the left, and the men’s is to the right.
There’s an attendant in each that will get you anything you need.
We have all fresh lingerie, shoes, robes, and an array of different outfits.
It’s truly a shopping experience and you get to take home anything you wear tonight. ”
“There are showers back there for you to use prior to getting on the floor. It is a requirement. Once you’ve chosen your outfit, you can exit on the opposite side of where you enter.
There will be a sign. There are no requirements to your outfit.
You can wear as much or as little as you’d like.
Robes are back there if you’d like to wear them over your pieces. ”
Wow, this actually sounds … amazing. I never knew a sex club could be so extremely thought-out.
“The attendant will also hand you a bracelet that lights up. If you choose to turn it on, that means you’re available to participate in play—other play seekers can approach you. If you leave it off, that means you’re not interested in having anyone approach you. Any questions?”
Massimo and I both say, “No.”
“Perfect. If anything comes up, please do not hesitate to ask one of the attendants back there. They’re discreetly placed, but they’re all in black and wearing headsets, so you will know who they are. Whenever you’re ready, you can head on through your respective doors.”
I go to take a step toward the women’s room, but Massimo grabs my hand before I’m able to.
“I’m going to ask one more time …”
“Please don’t,” I say, rolling my eyes. “I promise I’m perfectly fine going in there, and if I get uncomfortable, I’ll say blue.”
A smooth chuckle comes from under his breath, and he shakes his head. “You’re something else, Liana. I’ll see you in there.”
“See you in there.”
When I walk into the women’s room, I’m immediately met with a sweet but clean aroma. The inside is decorated similar to the boutique, the red hue giving it an equally sexy vibe.
I find the attendant who’s standing in a room that looks like it’s just a more condensed version of the boutique.
“Good evening, Mrs. Bonetti,” she says.
I don’t even bother correcting her because I’m so taken aback at how well these people do their jobs. I point to her earpiece. “Did Nadia tell you who I am?”
She smiles. “She let me know we were expecting you. Please, come on in and take a look around. You can pick anything you’d like. We have lingerie, shoes, toys …”
“Anything I’d like?”
“Yes, ma’am.”
I’m seriously impressed with how well-run this place is. Had I known sooner, maybe I would’ve had sex at this point in my life. This place makes it so much more … intriguing … and fun.
Looking around, my eyes are drawn to a simple but sexy black lace lingerie piece. I grab it and the matching lace robe and a pair of strappy black stilettos.
After taking a shower and putting on the new lingerie set, I slip into the robe and heels, then put on the bracelet. Pressing the button, it lights up red around my wrist.
I make my way to the other side of the women’s lounge where the door is to enter the club. I can practically feel the powerful current as my blood gets pumped to my heart. The thrumming in my ears gets louder with each step forward.
Is it excitement? Nerves? A combination of both?
I don’t know. But I’m about to find out.
