Chapter 16
“Sure Sandy, is everything ok?” I ask nervously. This is only the second time she’s asked me and the first was about my probation finishing.
“Everything is absolutely fine, Roxy. I just wanted to have a catch up is all, and check in on how you are doing?”
“Ok, no problem, see you at noon Sandy.”
I serve the members like usual, the club becoming busier as the warmer weather approaches with Spring in Melbourne.
I still look around and see if there is anyone I know and try to guess what kinds of kinks they’re into.
You can never look at anyone and tell of course.
It would be amazing if the members could wear different colours to show what they’re into, but of course what purpose would that serve other than to put my curiosity at bay.
Sophie hustles and bustles with me around the café, we work like a team—the dream team as we like to joke.
I really enjoy her company and it’s what I have been missing in my own little business—colleagues.
Coming to work at the Clarendon Club is becoming more appealing than going to work in my own business.
Maybe working for myself wasn’t everything I’d have wanted it to be.
Or maybe it’s the best of both worlds, working here and then my own business.
But with being a playmate, do I need three jobs?
That is what it is becoming. I file those thoughts away for another time.
Right now I have the meeting with Sandy to worry about.
“What do you think she wants to talk to me about?” I ask Sophie when we’re finally both in the same spot at the same time with a moment to spare.
“Exactly what she said, she wants to see how you’re doing is all. Sandy likes to ensure the staff are happy. Happy staff, happy members. Plus, you’ve had a few playmate jobs now, maybe she just wants to see how you feel about them?”
“Have you had meetings like this with her?” I enquire.
“Oh sure, every few months—even though I’ve been here nearly two years. It’s nice. I don’t mind it.”
“Have you or anyone had any meetings about stuff that has been bad, like a client gone wrong or something? What if one of my club members complained about me?”
“Is that what is getting you all knotted up right now?” she asks teasingly.
“Well yes. I hate to think I’ve done something wrong. I mean I don’t think so, but what if I did…”
“You need to relax and have some self-confidence. I know you haven’t done anything wrong and I know you would have been amazing.
Plus, Sandy would have called you into her office straight away and been much more discreet.
Those things don’t really happen around here, but if they do I can assure you they are dealt with professionally and in my opinion kindly. Sandy is the best.”
“Have you ever met the ‘management.’” I say making air quotes.
“No I have not. I’ve even given up guessing now. That is one secret I have not cracked nor anyone else. I don’t even know if Sandy knows them or not.”
“Really? This whole place is one giant secret, isn’t it?”
“Yes, and I’m ok with that. I don’t want my parents or my neighbours knowing about this place. I don’t want my real-life colliding with our secret life here. Management probably feels the same. They are probably MP’s or owners of huge companies who cannot be associated with any kind of scandal.”
“Yeah in fairness, not one of us nor the members would ever like to be exposed so I guess that is why it hasn’t come out and likely won’t.”
“Plus I’m under the impression no one would dare leak anything about this club. So maybe they’re mafia running it.”
We laugh together. And then a chill runs down my neck making the hairs stand up on end.
“People can leave on their own accord though, right?”
“Yes, yes. No murders or disappearances from here. Well, now there was that one girl before you…”
“Stop.” I elbow Sophie. “Unless you’re telling the truth?”
“I’m kidding. Nothing unhinged has happened on my watch. Everyone just wants to keep their dirty little secrets a secret. Management has a way of ensuring that happens and everyone is happy. Including me. And so should you.”
“Oh I am happy. Imagine if the mums at the school gate knew what I did in my ‘other job’.” I shudder at the thought of how quickly that rumour would travel around the school like wildfire. “I’d have to move.”
“You and me both. So chill. Sandy is a good egg. It’s nearly time now anyways.”
She’s right, I check my watch. Ten minutes to go. “Would you mind if I dash to the loo before I head up to meet Sandy, I suddenly need a nervous pee.”
“No worries at all. I’ve got everything covered here my friend.” And with that Sophie shoos me out from behind the bar and I scutter towards the staff bathrooms before heading upstairs to Sandy’s office.
I knock lightly before I hear Sandy’s voice answer, “Come in Roxy.” I push the door open and enter her bright office overlooking the golf greens. Sandy pats the spot next to her on the sofa, “Here take a seat.”
Grateful for the relaxed nature of the meeting, I sit on one side of the comfy beige sofa and look at Sandy expectantly.
“How are you Roxy?”
“I’m well thanks Sandy. How are you?”
“I’m really good, thanks, I hear my intuition paid off when we hired you. You’ve had three Playmates jobs and all have returned extremely positive and enthusiastic feedback. Management are pleased and I’ve secretly patted myself on the back. How are you finding the Playmates jobs?”
I blush. Sandy would know the jobs I’ve taken and the things I’ve done. I suddenly feel embarrassed and she sees it.
“No need to be shy, Roxy, everyone is a playmate here my love, even me. There is no shame or judgement from anyone. Never. Not on my watch. You can be open with me.”
My shoulders lower a hair. I know I have no need to be embarrassed, I have no doubt Sandy has seen and heard it all. I just don’t speak to many people about it, only Sophie and my husband.
“I have enjoyed my jobs, Sandy. Each time I have not known what to expect but when I’m there with the club members in their homes I feel at ease like it’s a role that comes natural to me.”
“Indeed, this does not surprise me in the slightest.” Sandy smiles knowingly at me.
“Playing along in other people’s fantasies unlocks something within ourselves, something we didn’t know was there until thrown into the situation and the fantasy.
I speak for myself, but I feel like the kink jobs are a bonus of finding out our true selves and desires.
Hidden amongst societal constraints in the outside world but in here we offer a safe place to find out our own truths, whatever shape or form they come in. ”
“How long have you been a playmate Sandy?” I ask not sure if that is a personal question or not.
“Over ten years”
“And you don’t get sick of it?”
Sandy giggles. “Not at all Roxy, the type of people we are gravitates us to the jobs we apply for and then we stay because we like to play just as much as our members.”
I nod, I think I’m catching on.
“Has there been a job you have enjoyed more than you were expecting?” she asks with a knowing look.
“Yes.” I look down at my hands. “I had a submissive job recently and I had to lean on Sophie a bit after because it shook me to my core how much I enjoyed it.”
“Ah yes, the reason we assign a buddy/mentor to everyone. The Clarendon is unlike any other establishment in the world. It’s hard to be understood unless speaking to someone who knows exactly what you’re experiencing and feeling.
I know Sophie will take care of you, she’s a beautiful girl inside and out.
I had a feeling you’d find your calling with that kink.
I hope you find plenty more also. Some of our playmates stick to just their own kinks whilst others explore.
There is nothing wrong with either, although I imagine each Dom/sub experience will be different with a new partner and the same can be said with different kinks. ”
I nod, enthralled by Sandy’s words. I am beginning to enjoy being a part of this secret club and any insight and experience offered I’ll lap up greedily.
“That brings me to another reason why I asked to meet with me today. Management believe you are ready to have access to the Amber kinks. When you log in today, you’ll see that job board is now open for you to apply also.
I hope you have just as much fun if not more with this new selection of kinks and fantasies. ”
“Thank you so much Sandy. I can’t wait to have a look and apply,” I say not tempering my excitement this time.
“See you again soon Roxy. Take care. And don’t forget to keep up your medical screenings each week.”
I nod and say goodbye to Sandy and go back down to finish my last half an hour with Sophie in the Marion. I squeal as quietly as I can when I get to her and whisper, “I’m onto the Amber job board.”
“Wow already! That’s awesome! I thought you had to do six months, but you must be crushing your jobs.”
I clap my hands in glee. “I cannot wait to get to my office and see what jobs are posted.”
“Oh you’ll have fun seeing them. Eye watering but fun! Just don’t take any jobs until you’ve thought properly about them and spoken to your husband—and me if you need to. Some can be a lot, but nothing near the red jobs. Just give me a shout if you have any questions, okay?”
“Ok, I will do that I promise.”
The last thirty minutes are over so quickly and Ava and Thomas turn up to relieve us of our roles so we can leave. I hop into my car and drive to my office where I cannot wait until I can load my laptop up and login to the Playmate Portal.
When I’m online I don’t click on the Green job page because the Amber job page allows me to click straight through and there are all sorts of kinky jobs waiting to be applied for and booked.
