In the Red Wing



"This is a bad idea," I said softly as we walked toward the grand entrance of the Amorperdita Club.

Elaine squeezed my hand and gave me her shy smile. She was the reason I had agreed to this visit. We had been dating for most of our senior year and while we were not yet what I would consider lovers, she clearly thought we were. I knew she was going to be disappointed soon and had decided to give in to this request.

Lexi and Trevor walked in front of us with the arrogance of high-school royalty. They were the reason I thought this was a bad idea. Elaine nearly worshiped Lexi, and would do almost anything the tall blonde asked just to stay in her good graces. Trevor was a typical jock boyfriend of the prettiest girl in school. They both looked down on Elaine and me when they thought we would not notice, or maybe they just did not care if we knew what they thought. I just shook my head.

Elaine had guessed that my family were aristo. Normally, her guess would have had repercussions, but my parents had simply shrugged and said I only had two more months until graduation, to not directly confirm anything until I was eighteen, and then try to get Elaine to keep it quiet. I understood their thinking.

In our stratified society, aristos were near the top of the hierarchy. We had reasons to pretend to be guilders. It was part of our family's special status. I had been raised mostly as a commoner. My first school years were in a distant city, interacting with plebes and guilders as my parents lived the humble life of a plebeian couple. By year five, we moved and they became guild members and I learned the social norms for low and high guilders as I developed a new collection of school friends. Year eight had us moving again and taking up the facade of high guilders in a much nicer neighborhood in the capital city. I knew once I enrolled in a collegium, we would take our rightful place as aristos, and mother and father would move back to the house in the district that we had visited infrequently over the years.

They had carefully explained why I was raised as I had been. I now understood why it was important that I be able to move across the levels of our society. I also knew that graduation would be the end of many friendships and relationships, including that with Elaine. Father had suggested ending it when she guessed our real stature. Mother cautioned against that, suggesting instead that we let the summer separation be the break we needed. By waiting a few more weeks, no other classmates would learn and try to take advantage of our status.

Of course, Elaine had her own ideas.

She wanted to show Lexi up, I think. She'd made a few comments in school. Nothing obvious, but hints that I could get things and go places most of our classmates could not. Then I think she became a little jealous when I was whisked away for my birthday weekend by my parents. Last week, Lexi had decided to call her bluff.

"If you really are what Elaine claims," she had said haughtily, "Take us to the Amorperdita Club. Guilders and plebes are only allowed as guests. If you take us, I'll believe Elaine's whispers."

I was surprised Elaine had said so much. I must not have been paying attention closely enough since my birthday. It was a lesson to consider. Lexi also did not really know what she was talking about. Guilders with enough money could buy membership in the club she wanted to visit.

Lexi leaned in to me in the school hallway. "And if you can't take us, I'll know she is just a jealous low guilder and her life in school will reflect that station."

Lexi was vindictive enough to do it. For a moment, I considered ending my relationship there and letting the chips fall where they may. I might have done that smart thing if Lexi had kept quiet, but she didn't.

"And everyone knows what happens to pretty low-guilder whores. Trevor's team would like a new plaything, I'm sure."

I had arched my eyebrow at her and then gave her my best cold stare. That had been on second-day. Now on the evening of eighth-day, we were walking up the marble steps of the club as slave doormen hurried to open the heavy wooden door for us.

I guided Elaine around Trevor and Lexi as they stopped and stared at the towering statue that filled the entryway. It was a beautiful sculpture of a naked man and woman, embracing with hands and arms entwined above them, kissing with abandon. Elaine looked up in awe as well but kept moving as I spotted the concierge and guided her toward him.

"Good evening, sir. How may I assist you?" he asked.

I handed him a small chip of silver and onyx. He smiled and nodded.

"Very good, sir. You and your guests are expected. If you would collect them and come with me."

Lexi and Trevor had arrived just in time to hear him call me 'sir' in his deferential tone.

I motioned them forward to follow the man into a small alcove that hid an office door. The office was just as luxurious as the entry hall, but on a smaller scale. He moved behind a desk and motioned me into a chair to his side. The others stood before him.

"You are aware of the rules, correct?" He asked me.

I nodded. It was not my first time at the Club. Also, my parents had made clear their expectations when I told them of this evenings plans. We had a station and a quiet reputation to maintain.

"And do your guests understand?" He asked, looking at my schoolmates and girlfriend.

"Perhaps you would review them," Elaine said softly. She looked nervous. Lexi on the other hand was eyeing me suspiciously.

"Your patron tonight is responsible for you, and you will be here at his discretion only. As guests, you do not have any rights, except what he allows. Is that understood?"

The three nodded.

"Also, as guests, you will place yourself at the disposal of members and other patrons. If they direct you to do something, you will do it, unless your own patron intercedes. Understood?"

Trevor and Lexi looked nervous now, but nodded.

"Very good. Now, part of his intercession for you will be to determine your own limits and levels. We will then ensure you are attired correctly, so other members and patrons know what is permissible for you."

"I don't understand," Lexi said. "What do you mean by limits and levels?"

"Are you a virgin?" he asked coldly.

Lexi blushed but shook her head. Trevor smirked while Elaine became a little paler.

"Pity. If you were, and wished to remain so, we would place a limit protecting that gift unless you wanted to leave here without it. I will question you each to determine the limits and levels and then we will get appropriate attire for you, so others know your station."

He glanced at me, and I nodded. I had undergone the same questioning when my mother first brought me to an Amorperdita Club.

"Very well, my dear. We'll start with you. You've said you are not a virgin, but we like to be clear here. Oral, vaginal, or anal?"

Lexi's blush deepened. as she replied, "I've done all three."

The concierge nodded and made a note on his tablet. "And during your visit, what areas will you be exploring?"

"What do you mean?" she asked.

I raised a finger. "We'll stroll past the white, green and blue wing, but most likely end up in the red wing," I said. My mother had given me an assignment for the visit.

The Concierge nodded.

"Very good. Any limits?" he asked.

"We have school next week, so nothing that would prevent attendance."

"Very good. And you, sir," he asked looking at Trevor.

"What?"

"Are you a virgin and do you wish to remain one?"

Trevor smirked and glanced at Lexi. "No. I've done it all as well," he said.

I suppressed a smile. Trevor was an athlete, and attractive, but not always the smartest. He answered what he thought the question was. I decided not to correct his mistake.

"Very well. And you, my lady?" he asked Elaine.

"Um, yes and maybe?"

"Yes, you are a virgin?"

She nodded. "I've done oral," she said softly. "But that's it."

"And do you wish to remain in this state?"

She glanced at me. "Maybe?"

The Concierge gave her a moment and then nodded before turning to look at me. "Black and Gray for these two," he said as he waved toward Lexi and Trevor, "And blue and gray for her?" he asked.

"I think so."

"Very good. This weekend is Bacchanalia. I would suggest traditional garb for your guests. Your attire is suitable as is," he said.

"What's he mean?" Trevor asked. We were dressed similarly in slacks, shirts and blazers, though mine was of a finer cut and finish. The girls were in fashionable dresses, suitable for a cocktail party or a regular Guilder club.

"Only members and patrons wear street clothes, here," the Concierge said. "As his guests, you will wear the appropriate costume to let other members and guests know your status, limits and levels. Did you not explain this to them, sir?"

"It might have slipped my mind," I admitted. "If you don't want to follow the rules, we can always go somewhere else," I said.

"No," Lexi said. "I may never get another chance to see an Amorperdita Club."

I glanced at Elaine. She smiled and nodded. I shrugged and nodded to the concierge.

"Very well, sir. If your guests will disrobe, I'll fetch appropriate accoutrements."

"What?" Elaine asked in shock.

I nodded. "You'll find hangars for your dresses and clothes over there," I motioned to the wall of the office. "Along with cabinets for your other belongings. It is quite safe. I'll be leaving my phone and wallet as well. No electronics are allowed inside."

"I'm not stripping while we wait for him," Trevor said.

"He won't return until you are all nude," I said. "If you want to leave, we can."

Lexi straightened at the implied challenge.

"You've got nothing to be ashamed of, Tre," she said. "And neither do I."

She walked to the wall as she reached behind her to undo the clasp of her dress and work the zipper down. Trevor watched her with lust as she stopped and pushed the dress off her shoulders, baring her well-toned, and lightly tanned back and panty clad ass before stepping out of the dress and reaching for a hangar. She looked over her shoulder to make sure she had our attention before pushing down her panties, stepping out of them, and then bending straight-legged pointing her ass at us as she undid the buckles of her pumps.

"Come on, Elaine. I don't want to stand here all alone in my all-together," she said as she kicked off her shoes. "You too, Tre."

Elaine walked over to her friend and began undressing, though not as provocatively as Lexi. Trevor moved to join them. I kept my eyes on Elaine. I had seen her nude exactly once, while she was changing into a swimsuit. She was shorter than Lexi, and not as lean, but had flawless olive skin and dark black hair that contrasted nicely with the light tan of her and Lexi's back and Lexi's blonde hair. Both young women had tan lines where their panties had been, though Lexi's were not as prominent.

"Give Cosimo a good look," Lexi said as she turned slowly and pushed Elaine's shoulder to turn as well.

I smiled as Lexi's thin strip of blonde pubic hair was revealed but licked my lips when I saw the neatly trimmed thatch of Elaine's dark mane of hair. Her breasts were rounder than Lexi's, with darker, larger nipples. They were both beautiful.

Trevor finished stripping as well, and stood nervously, trying to hide his hardon with his hands. I smiled and crossed the room to give Elaine a quick kiss on the lips and then put my wallet and phone in one of the cubby holes which closed automatically as I withdrew my hand.

The others finished putting their things away as the concierge returned.

"Very lovely, all of you," he said as he handed them each a handful of fabric. The ladies quickly determined the cloth to be dresses while the concierge had to instruct Trevor in the wearing of the kilt-like wrap. Trevor blushed as the man adjusted him and tugged at the waistband until it met with his approval. He then stepped back to examine the ladies.

The shifts were a matched pair in a shear, thin tan fabric, with different colored piping. Lexi's was black and gray at the hem and shoulder, matching Trevor's. Elaine's was azure blue and gray. The dresses had a single shoulder with a twist in the draped fabric, that both women found difficult to cover their breasts. The concierge tisked at them and then stood in front of Lexi.

"The cloth is cut to drape like this," he said as he adjusted the twist at the shoulder and exposed her left breast. "It's not intended to cover." He made another adjustment at the waist, lifting the hem higher on her thigh. "With these legs, dear, you should walk proudly. Catch the right eye, and you may find yourself in our club more frequently than you imagine," he said.

After stepping back to judge his work, he made similar adjustment for Elaine. He finished their outfits with soft sandals, that seemed to be perfect fits for them all. The ladies had slight heels on theirs, but nothing extravagant.

"Now, there is one other thing. Since your Patron is responsible for you, you must be able to locate each other as needed." He pulled out four wrist bands of dark, soft plastic. They looked solid but adjusted to each wrist he placed them on. Lexi and Trevor's had a black and gray pattern on them while Elaine's was blue and gray. Mine was all black.

"These are keyed to you and your patron. If you tap them, they will activate a private communication channel. You, sir," he said to me, "can locate them as well." He pointed at the display on mine and I saw small arrows pointing at my guests.

"Finally, let me welcome you to Amorperdita." With solemn precision, he lifted a dropper to my mouth and placed a single drop of liquid on my tongue. Mine was water. He repeated it with Trevor, Lexi and Elaine, but not with water.

"Do you have any questions, sir?" He asked.

"No, thank you," I replied.

"Very good sir. Do you know your way?"

I nodded.

We went out the main door of the office, back into the towering entry hall. Lexi and Elaine seemed to want to hurry away from the main doors, but I kept my pace a little slower, enjoying the sight of their exposed, pointy nipples. Trevor seemed to agree, looking as much at both girls as at the artwork lining the grand circular stairway leading up to the promenade.

Elaine tried to hold onto my right arm, and let it cover her breast, but I moved her to my left as we climbed the stairs.

"What was the drop?" she asked softly.

"It's a secret. It will help you relax and enjoy yourself. Don't think anything of it," I said even as I knew it was lowering her inhibitions. As a patron, I had the option of taking the drug or not. My family had warned me to not indulge. While the dropper had entered my mouth, only water had touched my tongue.

We reached the top of the stairway and passed through a large arch way to enter a long gallery. I pointed out the windows of the Promenade.

"That's the White Wing," I said with a wave. Outside the glass, a mixture of people lounged at widely spaced tables as men and women wearing simple kilts like Trevor's waited on them. All of the staff wore only white while performing their duties. The people they were waiting on wore a variety of outfits. Three women were dressed in black cocktail dresses, while another table had one man in a suit surrounded by four women dressed as Lexi and Elaine were.

"Why do they call it the White Wing?" Elaine asked as we stopped to watch the people.

"No sexual contact is allowed there," I replied. "Think of it as a 'look, but no touch' area. If you want something private, you retire to one of the cabanas or suites over there." I pointed at the far wall. Gauzy tents were visible, with doorways behind them.

"Cabanas? Why not just rooms?" Lexi asked.

"Some people like a show. Others like to be seen. Look there," I said as the three women in black dresses all stood and finished their drinks. They held hands as they strolled to a cabana and all went inside. While you could not see clearly, you could see the outlines of their figures as they all stripped off their dresses and then embraced in a three-way hug. Trevor grinned as one silhouetted head dropped down to the chest of another.

"Looks like fun," he said before adjusting himself unconsciously.

Lexi elbowed him lightly. "Come on," she said, as she appeared to regain some of her confidence.

"There are also a couple of dance clubs and nice restaurants in the White Wing," I said. "You can bring guests in there without going through all the rigmarole we did."

"Then the White Wing isn't that special, is it?" Lexi asked with a superior look before taking the lead to move us along.

"I can't believe Cosimo here is an aristo," Trevor said as we moved further down the glass-lined hallway. "You could have been bringing us here for ages."

I laughed and said, "Hardly. You have to be eighteen to bring guests. I just turned a couple of weeks ago. And, you do know that Guidlers can buy memberships, as well, right?"

"What I don't understand," Lexi said, "Is why you are in our school if you're an aristo. Why don't you go to one of their schools?"

"My parents wanted me to live in the real world while growing up. Aristo's are pampered and shielded. They wanted to make sure I understood and appreciate what most of my peers never will." It was at least part of the truth.

"I'm just glad you could bring us this weekend," Elaine said with a smile.

"What's this?" Trevor asked as we passed through an arch and were now overlooking the lush gardens of the green wing.

"The green wing, is perpetual summer," I said as we looked out on the lush, domed garden. Since we were above most of the foliage, we could see the winding paths and small glades. "There are open areas and even an amphitheater there. I'd guess that a lot of folks from the White Wing will make their way here sooner or later."

As if on cue, a couple appeared on the path. She was the patron, dressed in a loose green skirt and white blouse. She was dragging a young man dressed like Trevor by the hand. We watched as they turned off the path and into a glade below us. She wasted no time freeing herself from her clothes before lying back on the grass and spreading her legs. Her lover dropped to his knees and then knelt between her thighs as she grabbed the back of his head and guided him in his task.

"That looks like fun," Lexi said with a smile for Elaine and Trevor.

Trevor shook his head. "Maybe later. I'm sure there is more to see."

"Aside from the gardens, why do they call it the Green Wing?" Elaine asked.

"Out there, the slaves are only for waiting and safety. Contact between patrons, members and guests is allowed, but not with the slaves," I explained.

"Why not?" Trevor asked.

"I don't know," I lied. "It's one of the rules of the house."

We walked on, pausing to look at different couplings of lovers. A small group of men and women, all nude lounged at one pond, eating fruits and sipping from silver cups. A pair of house slaves waited on them. Once again, the workers were in white kilt-like skirts, regardless of their gender.

We passed through another large arch way and the promenade opened out on both sides. The walkway continued, but without walls or windows. On both sides, it was obvious we were walking above a Romanesque bath area.

"This is the blue wing," I said. "Here, slaves can fulfill some of the desires of members and guests."

I motioned them toward the side and pointed at the stairs going down. "We can go down and have a refreshment or take a dip if we want."

Trevor was staring at the small group of women playing tag in the pool below. Suits were not allowed in the water. Lexi was watching the two male attendants massaging a patron. She was lovely with mocha skin. The oil from the slaves' hands made her shine. Lexi watched with rapt attention as one slave worked her breasts and the other stroked her pussy. Elaine gave a small gasp and I turned to see her staring at a male house slave sucking a male patron's member. While I was hardly surprised, she seemed shocked. I knew she would see more, soon.

"Do you want to stay here and watch a while?" I asked.

Trevor caught sight of the male-on-male action and shook his head. "There's more to see, right?"

"Yes. I thought you might want to take in the Red Wing. It's just ahead."

"Is that the last one?" Lexi asked, tearing her eyes away from the oiled woman.

"No. There is one more, but guests aren't allowed."

"Why not?"

"It's called the black wing. There are no limits there." I made my tone as cold as possible. The city gave over those people and slaves with no chance at reeducation to the Black Wing. Patrons took care of them, letting their basest fantasies play out. Some of my training had been in the Black Wing.

Elaine shivered against me. "So, what's the Red Wing?"

"Our next stop," Lexi said.

I nodded. "Remember the rules. You'll probably interact with other patrons and guests there. Be careful and ask me if you have questions. Understand?"

The ladies nodded, but Trevor smiled. "I'm sure it can't be that much more than what we've seen," he said.

I shrugged. He would learn. His looks and the black and gray piping would see to that. We continued on the walkway until we came to an archway with a door in it. I led them through without pausing.

We entered a very well-appointed lounge or library. The carpet was plush to dampen sound and rich leather furniture was placed around the room. A bar was along the wall to the right while book shelves and doorways lined the walls. A dozen people were there, most of them guests.

"Let's get a drink," Trevor said as he spotted the bar. The ladies followed him, and we soon found ourselves seated on a love seat and two chairs. Elaine and I were on the love seat. I gave them all a toast with my glass and then let my eyes wander the room.

"This looks pretty tame," Trevor said.

I smiled. "Go take a look through that door," I said with a tip of my head. "But come right back."

Never one to shy from a challenge, Trevor stood. Lexi followed him. I kept Elaine with me, taking the opportunity to give her a slow kiss and trace my finger down her bare shoulder and across her nipple. She shivered as our friends returned.

"Holy shit," Lexi said as she sat and took a long pull from her drink.

"What was it?" Elaine asked.

"A full-on orgy. Is that happening in all the rooms?" she asked. Trevor's grin was irritating me.

"No. There are other entertainments in other rooms."

"Like what?"

"Go see. Just don't get in over your heads," I cautioned. They looked at each other and then linked arms to go look around.

"Do you want to go as well?" I asked Elaine.

She blushed. "I don't know what I want. I hope you're not mad at me for telling Lexi. Coming here was actually her idea, not mine."

"I know. I'm more interested in how you want to leave, than your wanting to come."

"What do you mean?" she asked, blushing.

"What state do you want to leave in? Will you still be a blushing virgin by the end of our stay?"

She looked me in the eye. "Do you want me to be?"

I smiled. "That needs to be entirely your decision. As my guest, your virtue is safe until you state unequivocally that you wish to surrender it. You have set your limits and levels. I must protect them."

"What is all the limits and levels? I get that I'll remain a virgin if I want to, but what about Lexi and Tre?"

"They both said they were not virgins, so they are obliged to surrender such favors if asked by a member or patron."

Elaine gasped. "You mean you could fuck Lexi right now and she would have to?"

"She could decline. If she did so politely, or deferred the decision to her patron, me, she would not have too. But if she is rude, she may not have a choice. In the green or blue wing, 'no' means 'no'. Here, 'no' may only be for show."

"So, you could take me, even if I said no?"

I shook my head. "You are wearing the blue. Blue tells others that you are not allowed penetration below the waist. Green would indicate no oral sex as well."

"So black means anything goes?"

I nodded.

Elaine's eyes widened. "Trevor is wearing black."

I nodded.

"So, someone could do that to him? I mean, what we saw in the blue wing?"

"He said he was not a virgin. He said he had done it all. He just didn't listen to the question. Doing it is different from having it done."

Elaine blushed, but then grinned, realizing what might be in store for our classmate.

"What about the gray?"

"No permanent damage. We all have school again in two days."

A woman walked by, dressed identically to Elaine, but with black and red trim. She had her raven hair pulled back into a ponytail. A matching ponytail protruded from the back of her skirt. I smiled at the symmetry.

"What does the red mean?" Elaine asked, without seeming to notice the second ponytail.

"Blood. That one is willing to bleed and possibly scar. Whoever she is here with, needs to keep a close eye on her."

"So, you could order her to do something with you?" Elaine asked after sipping he drink.

I nodded.

"Would you?"

"Do you want me to?"

She looked away for a moment and then returned my gaze before nodding.

"What would you have me do?"

She blushed and looked away again for a minute. "Ever since your birthday, I've thought you seemed less interested in me when I...." her voice trailed off.

"Give head?" I asked with a smile. Her shyness was one of the things I found attractive in her. The fact that she seemed to enjoy giving me pleasure with her mouth had been one of the reasons our relationship had lasted as long as it had. While she had yet to allow me to return the favor, the night did seem to have promise.

"You came here on your birthday weekend?" she asked with more surety than she should have.

I chose to agree with her. It was close enough to the truth.

"You had someone give you better head than I did. I want to see what they did."

I smiled at her determination. I tapped my wrist to summon a house slave. The patron bands were much more complete than those of the guests.

A moment later, a stunning, pale slave with straight red hair stood before us. Her chest and arms were dusted with freckles and her nipples were pointed at me. I smiled at her. She was certainly attractive.

"How may I serve, sir?" she asked in a soft voice.

"My guest feels she could use some instruction on how to give better head. Show her."

Without hesitation, the girl knelt and began opening my trousers. I put my arm around Elaine and gave her a kiss as other lips engulfed me. Elaine pulled back and turned so she could watch. I leaned back and closed my eyes, then opened them to watch Elaine.

The slave lavished my dick with her tongue, licking with long strokes until I was fully erect and then popping it in her mouth and slowly sucking me deeper. As I felt the back of her throat press against the head of my cock, she pulled up and off to return to licking. Elaine watched closely as she shifted attention to lick my balls before returning to my dick.

"She looks like she is really enjoying it," Elaine said softly.

"I am," the slave said as she paused in her work. "Bringing a patron such pleasure with my lips and mouth is a gift of service." Her mouth dropped lower again, and I sighed in pleasure.

"Let me," Elaine said as she moved beside the slave. I smiled down at her as the slave moved aside and she wrapped her fingers around my shaft before licking her lips and then began licking me. Her pace began picking up almost immediately, but the slave put a hand on her back.

"Slowly, to start," she said as she guided the pace. "You want to mix speed and depth and sensation to make it longer and better for him."

Elaine's pace slowed, and she pushed herself deeper on my cock. I stroked her hair, resisting the urge to thrust against her face. She pulled up and swirled her tongue around my shaft as she looked up at me with her hazel eyes. Keeping eye contact as long as she could, she lowered her lips once again.

"Oh, baby," I moaned.

I closed my eyes, enjoying the feel for a minute before I felt Elaine jerk upright and off my cock. I smiled when I saw the reason why. The slave had reached under Elaine and was obviously stroking her pussy. Elaine's blush was endearing. She smiled coyly and then lowered her head again.

"She is wet with pleasure, sir," the slave whispered as she raised up to kiss my neck.

"Ensure she enjoys it," I said.

"Certainly, sir," she said as she lowered herself and sucked on Elaine's exposed nipple. I watched the slave play with Elaine while keeping her pace slow and deep on my cock. Just as I thought I was getting close to cumming, Elaine stopped, stiffened, and rose off my cock. Her hands held my thighs as she shook delightfully. I could guess from the slave's movements that her hand was still busy stroking Elaine's pussy. Finally, she pushed the slave's hand away.

"I can't take any more," she said with a gasp, dropping her head to my knee. I smiled at the look of pleasure on her face. Seeming to feel my gaze, she opened her eyes to the sight of my still hard, spit-slicked cock.

"Oh, I'm sorry," she said before reaching me. "You must be close."

I nodded.

"Allow me," the slave said. She helped Elaine back onto the love seat and then lowered her face once again to engulf me in her warm mouth. This time was different. She must have known I was close before. There was no build up, just straight down to the root of me as my head pushed into her throat. She held me deep and then rose just enough to get a breath before bobbing up and down as my orgasm rose.

She pulled up just as I came, sucking on my dick and working her tongue along the sensitive underside of my head. I shuddered again, firing another spurt into her mouth and then another. Slowly, her suction and tongue action subsided until she let my still stiff prick slip from her lips.

She looked me in the eye with a smile. I nodded and looked at Elaine. The slave leaned in slowly and kissed her, full on the mouth. Elaine resisted at first and then let her mouth open and accept my spend from the sexy redheaded slave. I reached over and ran a finger up her thigh and under her skirt to stroke her sopping pussy. Carefully collecting some of her own spend, I lifted it to my lips and licked a finger. Elaine blushed when she saw me, but the slave finished the exchange by pushing her own moist fingers into Elaine's own mouth. Finally, I kissed Elaine.

"Thank you," I said.

"I think I should thank you," Elaine said as the slave stood and began straightening my clothes. "Thank you for the lesson," Elaine finished.

"My pleasure, sir," the slave said to me while looking at Elaine. A moment later, we were once again alone on our small couch, sipping our drinks.

"Did you like that?" I asked as I ran my finger over her nipple again.

"You know I did. Can you imagine if Tre and Lexi had come back during that?"

"Can you?"

She blushed once again.

"Maybe we should go find them," she suggested.

I glanced at my wrist. Their arrows were both pointing the same direction. I rose and held out a hand for Elaine. She was a little shaky and held my arm as we moved across the room.

"Oh my," she said stopping to look at the raven beauty we had admired before. She was bent over a chair and her skirt was around her waist now. It was obvious the second ponytail was attached to a butt-plug, well seated in her ass. A strawberry blonde female patron dressed in black leather pants, and a loose red silk top was spanking her ass.

I admired the rosy glow the patron was creating and then moved Elaine along. Our red headed slave was hurrying toward the scene with a riding crop in her hands.

I glanced at my wrist and headed toward a side door.

Lexi and Trevor were with a crowd around a sand pit. We moved closer to see what held their attention. Below us, two men, wearing the kilts of guests were wrestling. Lexi saw us and shook her head a little while rolling her eyes at Trevor. I watched the fight for a few minutes. Both men were strong and but seemed to be playing more for the crowd than to win at the moment. I looked around and then recognized another patron and thought I understood why.

Suddenly, one of the wrestlers dropped low, snagged a knee and quickly flipped his opponent before pinning him. The watchers clapped politely while one patron smiled and another frowned.

"I could do better than that," Trevor said more loudly than he should have. He was on the far side of Lexi, with Elaine between she and I. There was nothing I could do to help him.

"A challenger," I heard a strong woman's voice call out. The people closest to Trevor stepped back.

"Trevor, stop," I said softly.

He paid no heed.

"Yeah, I can beat him," he said confidently.

I shook my head. It was out of my hands, now.

The woman patron walked around the pit with a smile. I knew who she was. She glanced my way and made it obvious I was beneath her notice. That was a good thing. She had no idea of my name, family, or lineage. She had short, blonde hair and strong features. She was lean with not much of a bosom beneath her white blouse and short, black military style jacket. Her skirt matched the jacket, but gold piping traced up one hip. She was General Annia Paculla. She was the leader of one of the thirty aristo families, and the head of the capital defense forces.

"Patron," she said to me as she looked at Trevor. "Your guest has issued a challenge. I will accept if we can come to terms."

"What terms?" I asked.

"Our stay," she replied.

"One moment," I said as I pulled Trevor back.

He kept looking at the General and her fighter. "Do you really want to do this, Trevor?" I asked. "I can probably get you out of it, but you'll have to apologize."

He scowled. "That guy is not even good enough to wrestle on our school team." Trevor was the captain of the team. He should know better than to judge fighters so quickly. "I can take him. What does she mean about the terms?"

"If you win, one of her guests is mine for the duration of our stay in the club. If you lose, you are hers until she or I leave."

"I can beat him."

"And if you can't, you'll be hers for the night, at least."

"She's a general, right? What's the worst that can happen? I don't have the options you aristos do after graduation. Maybe if I beat her man, I can join the force."

I shook my head. The stupid boy had no idea. I felt obligated to try one last time.

"You know where we are, and what the stakes are. If you lose, you are her slave until she kicks you out, or I take you home. I'm not leaving here tonight. Are you sure you're ready for that?"

"I won't lose," Trevor said with a nod. I sighed and stepped back to the General.

"Our stay, as proposed," I said.

"And which of my guests are the stakes from my side?" she asked.

"Will it matter?"

She smiled at my understanding. "Excellent. I hope your boy shows as well as he talks. He is a cute one," she said as she patted his cheek. "Young, dumb and full of cum, just like I like them."

Trevor blushed and then moved to the edge of the pit. He dropped down to the sand floor, a meter lower than where we stood. Two female slaves descended retractable stairs and began oiling up the combatants. Lexi and Elaine came to my side.

"What's he getting into, Cosimo?" Lexi asked.

"I've got a feeling he is going to get his ass handed to him," I said with a sigh. "I tried to talk him out of it."

"Will they hurt him?" Elaine asked.

"They'll respect the gray," I replied, "but yes, I think they will hurt him. If not in the fight, then after."

"What do you mean?" Lexi asked softly.

I explained the wager. Lexi actually smiled. "Do you think he'll win?" I asked.

"No, but I know what he's going to lose. Everyone with half a wit has heard stories of the General and her honor guard. That idiot is going to be used by them all, isn't he?"

I nodded. It was both my fear and my hope. Some lessons had to be learned the hard way. Trevor was about to get his.

I squatted at the edge of the pit, near Trevor's head. "Trevor," I said softly. "No matter what you think, don't underestimate him. He's one of her soldiers. He knows how to fight, no matter what you think you saw."

Trevor smiled at the slave rubbing his chest and shoulders before responding. "I can take him," he said with confidence.

The fight lasted less than a minute.

Lexi's eyes shown with glee as Trevor laid on the pit floor, unconscious, but not obviously hurt. I shook my head.

"He was fast, at least," his opponent said with a grin to the general. "We'll have to make sure he goes slow on you, ma'am."

The other soldiers laughed at his wit and the general dropped to the sand and squatted next to him before slapping his cheeks lightly.

"Wake up, pretty boy," she said just before another soldier threw a cup of water on his face.

Trevor woke up sputtering.

The General laughed. "I hope you have as much gusto in a few minutes, friend," she said. She motioned to her fighter. "Truss my prize up, Jamison."

"Yes Ma'am," Trevor's opponent replied.

With military efficiency, Trevor soon had his wrists and elbows tied behind his back. The soldier, Jamison, guided him up the stairs to where the general had taken a seat. I moved to her side, with Lexi and Elaine behind me.

"Your guest was foolish," the general said at my approach.

"Clearly so," I replied.

Her eyes narrowed at my tone.

"I cautioned him," I said. "Repeatedly."

She studied me with a cold stare. I returned her gaze.

"A bet is a bet," she said at last.

"So it is." I tapped my wrist before extending my arm. "I give you my guest, as agreed."

She extended her own arm and our bracelets touched. The circuitry within them exchanged data and the small sigil pointing toward Trevor faded from my band.

"You look familiar now," The general said, looking at me closely. "Do I know you?"

"My mother, perhaps," I said. "Livy Rhingold."

The general paled. She glanced at Trevor again, obviously thinking she should return him to me. I gave her the slightest of shakes of my head. She arched her eyebrow and then looked behind me at Lexi and Elaine. She smiled.

"Give your mother my regards. I knew her years ago."

I nodded. "My friend wears the gray. Please keep that in mind," I replied.

"Oh, I will. He'll be sore and tired, by the time we leave on tenth-day; but he'll be able to attend to his duties." She glanced at the trim of Lexi and Elaine's outfits. "It looks like you'll be busy with your other guests, so don't spare a second thought. I'll treat him as well as he deserves."

She stood and gave me a ceremonial kiss on each cheek and then moved to stand before a kneeling Trevor. "Your mouth got you into trouble, friend. Let's see how it can get you out of trouble now. I hope you can use it in a useful manner."

She motioned to her soldier as she unwrapped her skirt and planted her naked ass back in her chair. "Help your victim over here," she ordered.

The soldier dragged him closer as the general spread her legs and grabbed his head. "Let's see what that tongue can do right," she said with a grin.

Lexi laughed, but I silenced her. We drew back as we watched the general mash his face against her crotch.

"You can lick me, or you can suck off Jamison, but you had better get that tongue to work, boy," she commanded.

Lexi raised a hand to her mouth, suppressing a laugh.

"What's so funny, Lexi?" I asked.

"Tre loved to force me to give him head, but always refused to return the favor. I hope the general makes him gag on that soldier's cock."

Lexi had not whispered, and the general had good ears. She stopped the struggling Trevor and pulled him away from her crotch. "Is that true, boy? You think licking pussy is beneath you?"

Trevor still had defiance in his eyes, and the general saw it for what is was. She leaned closer to him, forcing him to meet her gaze with her fingers entwined in his thick hair. "Listen carefully and know my words for the truth that they are," she said coldly.

"Jamison, if I've not had an orgasm from this whelp's tongue in five minutes, he is going to suck your dick after you shove it up his ass. Since you fought so well, you can decide if you want to lubricate him first, or not. Is that clear?"

"Yes Ma'am," the soldier said.

The general looked down at Trevor again. "I suggest you get busy," she said with a smile as she pulled his face forward once again.

Lexi managed to hold her laugh in until we had turned away and were nearing the door.

"Oh, I wish I had a picture of his face," she said. "Can we stay and watch?" she asked.

I shook my head and guided them toward the bar. "It would be bad form," I said. "He is hers now. Staying, even to watch, would imply I doubted her word. This is not the place to make such an insult."

"Will she really do that?" Elaine asked once we all had drinks in our hands.

"Of course, she will," Lexi said with glee.

"You seem happy for the outcome," I said.

"I am."

"I thought you liked Trevor," Elaine said.

"He served a purpose," Lexi said. She seemed much less inhibited than normal; less in control.

"He is your boyfriend," Elaine reminded her.

"Not after tonight," Lexi replied. "He might be the big man at school, but we just saw what a boy he was in there. In this real world, there is more to a man than being athletic and good looking." She gulped her drink. "I really do wish I could see him," she said. "I want to know how he feels having a cock shoved up his ass for a change, or having his head held down as he gags on some prick."

Elaine put a hand on her friend's arm. "You mean he forced you?" she asked with concern.

Lexi gathered herself and then smiled her fake smile. "Let's just say my introduction to passion was not always pleasant." She sipped her drink again, seeming to regain her composure with the cocktail. "But that's the past. Let's think about the future. We still haven't' properly thanked Cosimo for bringing us tonight."

"Well, you haven't," Elaine said with a self-satisfied grin.

Lexi glanced from her to me and then back. "You did? How? When?"

"In here, right over there," Elaine said with a smile as she pointed to the love seat now occupied by an older couple. They were watching a pair of slaves fuck on the small table in front of them.

Lexi looked at us both again. "You actually sucked him off in this room, with other people around?"

Elaine blushed but nodded.

Lexi finished her drink and then looked at me. "So, what should I do to thank you?" she asked with a smirk. "You've heard what I've already done. What's your pleasure, Cosimo?"

I could read Lexi like a book. She knew Elaine was not going to be able to give me the same pleasures she could, even if she decided to give up the protection of the blue piping. But that was not the only game Lexi was playing. She knew I was an aristo and thought she knew what that meant. She was mistaken. I had not forgotten her threat to Elaine. I had seen the looks she gave me as we walked through the club. She thought she could seduce me and be in control. She was mistaken.

"There are other things to do," I suggested. "You and Trevor found the fights. They'll run most of the night both between guests and some professional bouts. The orgy you stumbled into was probably a more private affair, just a group letting loose at the end of the week. The Red Wing has a casino as well, though if you two want to gamble, we should probably go back out to the White Wing."

"Why?" Elaine asked.

"Out there, it is play for money. Here, there may be more a stake."

"Like one of us?" Lexi asked.

I nodded. "Among other things. Some people bring their own slaves here as stakes in games."

"What else is there to do?" Elaine asked.

"Food, drink, dancing, pretty much anything you could want to do."

"Now that you mention it, I am a little hungry," Lexi said.

"But you haven't thanked Cosimo, yet," Elaine replied with a glint in her eye.

I couldn't let it become a dominance game between them.

"Lexi needs to thank you, Elaine. After all, she wouldn't be here if not for you."

Lexi's face fell for a moment, but then she smiled back at me. "I can hardly show my appreciation out here," she said.

I tapped my wrist. A moment later, a house slave arrived.

"Sir?" the handsome young man asked.

"My guests would like to lie down someplace a little more private. Is there an alcove available?"

"Certainly, sir."

"Very good. She--" I motioned at Lexi. "Owes her--" I pointed to Elaine. "A sincere show of appreciation. I want you to watch over them until I join."

Lexi looked at me in shock. Elaine had a coy smile.

"Lexi, you said you were hungry. Eat Elaine until I get there, and maybe that will take the edge off. You've had her do it to you often enough. It's time you returned the favor."

Lexi was shocked, as was Elaine. Silly of them, since they had given me enough hints over the months. I stood up and gave Elaine a long kiss, fondling her breast and then her ass.

I did the same to Lexi, leaving her no doubt that I would soon sample her charms with more than my hands.

They followed the slave away. I watched them for a moment and then turned back to the bar.

"Pretty, young guests you've brought," The blonde in red and black said as she moved down the bar toward me. "Any interest in a trade of friends, friend?"

I looked at her more closely. She was attractive, but not beautiful. Her blue eyes shown with a hint of mirth, but her nose was just a little too pointy and her jaw a touch too angular for her to be considered beautiful. Of course, she did have a natural charisma that made me smile. She appeared to only be a year or two older than me.

"Perhaps. They are first timers, though, so might not be up for some of the pleasures you seemed to enjoy."

She looked at me and then smiled. She was beautiful when she smiled.

"You mean that little spanking I was giving out?"

I nodded. She laughed.

"That was nothing. Jayne is actually a member as well but gets her kicks by coming as my guest. She is such an exhibitionist, always prancing around in the shortest skirt with her tail plugged in."

"Really?" I thought back to the scene I had witnessed. She had been wearing an all-black band on her wrist, despite the guest garments.

She nodded. "You must be young. I haven't seen you here before."

"Oh, I've been in several times, but am hardly a regular. This is the first time I've brought guests. You?"

She smiled again but looked away.

"I come in almost every other weekend, unless something at school or home prevents it. Most of my friends are members, but I do bring an occasional guest, if I find them interesting."

"What are you studying?" I asked.

"Political science, statistics, and drama. How about you?"

I smiled. "I'll most likely study business, and physiology. I'll be in the collegium next year. After I get a year under my belt, I'll figure out the arts requirement. Drama might be interesting."

"Next year?" she asked with a look of surprise. "You carry yourself better than most your age. Your two friends, I would believe are not in school yet, but you seem older."

"Thank you. I try. I'm Cosimo, by the way."

She smiled again. "I'm Aurora," she said.

"It's a pleasure," I replied with my own smile. She extended her hand which I raised to my lips for a kiss.

"Oh, you are a charmer, aren't you?" she said with a smile.

I returned her smile, but also spotted the silver and purple band on her finger. Like myself, she was more then she appeared to the casual observer.

"Shall we go see how your guests are doing?" she asked. "I'd hate for them to think you were neglecting them."

I agreed with a nod but paused long enough to orders some refreshments from the bartender. She assured me they would be sent along shortly. With that, Aurora and I began strolling in the direction the girls had been led.

"So, what do you like about the club?" I asked. "Aside from some of the obvious attractions," I added with a smile.

Aurora swatted my arm with a smirk. "You know how it is. I go out to the regular clubs occasionally, but would rather know I'm safe, here. If I want to gamble, the casinos here are as fair as they get. Dancing here is safer than having someone slip something into my drink at a plebe's place. If I want to pick up a man or woman, I know the people here won't have anything catching. All in all, it's just easier to come here and pay my membership fees. How about you?"

"I like to mix it up occasionally but have not really developed a taste for the night life yet."

She laughed. "You will once your real education begins. You need to develop some ways to cut loose and blow off a little steam. The pace at the collegium will surprise you. During exams, I sometimes drop in late at night mid-week just for a little stress relief."

I smiled again. She saw and read something into it.

"I'm not sure you could manage what I need," she said, laughing.

"I didn't mean ...."

She laughed. "I like you, Cosimo. You're so easy to tease."

Aurora put her hand on my arm to stop me just short of the alcove tucked into the far corner of the room. A wispy, translucent curtain was drawn barely blurring the two figures on a chaise lounge, but we could hear Lexi's voice easily.

"I can't believe you told Cosimo about us."

Elaine laughed. "I didn't. I've told you he pays attention to everything. Something told him, but it wasn't me."

"Do you think others know?" Lexi asked. "It's not like we made out in the halls of school or anything."

"Who knows? Does it matter? I think you're putting off properly thanking me," she added softly. "Cosimo was pretty specific in his instructions."

"Well, he also said I hadn't done it to you before, and that's not entirely correct, is it?"

"But it has been a while."

I watched through the gauzy curtain as Lexi bent lower over Elaine to suck on her exposed nipple. Aurora and I watched the display for a minute before Lexi began kissing her way lower, presenting her nicely toned ass to us as her skirt rode higher.

Lexi's head dipped lower and she moved her hands down Elaine's sides and then reached under her legs to lift her knees. Instead of applying herself directly to Elaine's spread pussy, she kissed her way down her inner thighs and to her knees. I was curious if she was teasing Elaine or doing the same thing she had accused Trevor of, refusing to eat pussy.

Before I could find out, a handsome ebony house slave arrived with the refreshments I had ordered. With a nod, he led the way beyond the curtain of the alcove with his tray of fruit and cheese. Elaine moved to cover herself as Lexi smiled at me. Her smile lost its charm when she spotted Aurora.

The slave set the tray down on a sideboard and asked if we needed anything else.

"Not at the moment," I answered. He left as efficiently as he had arrived and pulled the curtain back in place. From the inside, it was hard to see beyond the curtain thanks to strategically placed lights.

Aurora helped herself to a piece of fruit as I looked at the two young women I had brought. "I thought you would be ready for a second course by the time I got here," I said with a smile. Elaine blushed.

"A girl doesn't like to be rushed, Cosimo," Lexi said.

Aurora snorted softly. It was hardly in keeping with the image I had built of her in my mind, but it did make me smile.

"I just think it means you're not very good at giving head," Aurora said. "I bet I could get two orgasms out of her before the blonde could give you one, Cosimo."

"How dare you!" Lexi said in tight tones before I could give her a warning look. By the time she saw my eyes, she realized she might have made a mistake.

"A bet?" I asked. "What are the stakes?"

Aurora smiled and walked closer to Lexi and Elaine. Lexi stood at her approach. Aurora looked over her shoulder at me as she reached out to lightly pinch Lexi's nipple. Lexi swatted at her hand. I wanted to cringe but remained stoic.

"Oh, she has a little rebellion in her," Aurora said with a smile. "I like that. How about I get to direct for four hours if I win?"

"And if I do?"

"The same, of course."

I pretended to consider it for a moment. I stepped closer to look down at Elaine. Her cheeks and upper chest were flushed, and her exposed nipple was standing tall, begging to be sucked. She gave me the slightest of nods.

"Very well. Any rules?"

Aurora smiled at Lexi and nodded. "No hands. In fact, we'll use these to make sure everyone obeys the rules." She turned and opened a drawer in the sideboard. Several items were arranged there, but she quickly grabbed two pair of cuffs. One was firm metal, the other soft leather.

"Remove his pants, wench," Aurora said to Lexi. I moved to sit on the end of the lounger as Elaine swung her feet to the side. Lexi hesitated for a moment.

Aurora smacked her ass hard enough to leave a hand print, making her jump.

"When I tell you to do something, you had better move faster than that. It might turn out to be a very long four hours for you otherwise."

Lexi rubbed her ass cheek but moved to stand before me and began undoing my trousers. She smiled as my semi-erect cock sprung free. She even gave me a quick kiss as she bent over to help me step out of my shoes, socks and pants.

Aurora smiled and moved next to Lexi. "Get on your knees and put your hands behind him," she ordered. Once Lexi complied, she put the soft leather cuffs on her. Lexi leaned in and started to rub her exposed breast against my knee.

Aurora moved to kneel before Elaine. She reached around her and quickly snapped the metal cuffs in place, binding her own hands behind Elaine. Without further ado, she leaned in and kissed Elaine full on the mouth, working her tongue until Elaine reciprocated.

Lexi leaned forward and caught my cock in her lips. She applied suction to try and get me erect quickly, but the visual sight next to me of Aurora licking her way down Elaine's neck and breast did more the make me rise than Lexi. Elaine scooted back and lifted her feet to the edge of the lounger, spreading her legs wide and displaying her neatly trimmed triangle of black hair above her exposed pussy lips. Aurora wasted no time accepting the invitation splayed before her. I saw her tongue dart out and begin licking along the smooth lips and then circling at the top of her slit.

Elaine moaned and grabbed Aurora's hair, deftly guiding her.

Lexi sucked and then loosely formed a seal around my shaft and began bobbing her head quickly. I thought about guiding her or even just grabbing her head and thrusting, but realized she was not very good at giving head, regardless of what she thought or said. I suspected Trevor had been quick on the trigger.

"Oh, gods!" Elaine moaned as she threw her head back and flexed her stomach.

The sounds seemed to make Lexi try harder. She took me deep, holding the head of my cock at the back of her mouth, and then sucking while her tongue stroked up the underside of my cock. If she had just continued to do that for a few minutes, she might have won. Instead, she sucked twice and then went back to her near frictionless bobbing routine.

Meanwhile, Aurora had shifted her tongue back to long laps along Elaine's now glistening pussy. Elaine fell back flat and lifted her bottom off the couch in time with the licks. I saw Aurora's tongue dip lower, dancing across her asshole, resulting in a shudder and flush across Elaine's breast. It wasn't the second orgasm, but I knew she was going to go again soon.

Lexi pulled off me and looked over at Elaine and Aurora. She looked up at me, with an accusing stare before returning to her task. The sight of Aurora's nose buried in Elaine's raised snatch while working her tongue into her was nearly enough to make me cum despite Lexi's lackluster efforts. I closed my eyes to remove the added stimulation.

"Um ...oh!" Elaine grunted, and I looked over to see her stomach clenching again as Aurora lifted her face and continued to lick slowly along Elaine's soaking pussy. Elaine dropped her rear to the couch and gasped for breath with her eyes closed while caressing Aurora's hair.

As the last shudder of orgasm passed through Elaine, Aurora looked up at me and smiled. Lexi stopped her efforts and glared at me and then Aurora. The look made Aurora scowl.

"Keep working on that reward. If I have to take care of your master here as well as your mistress, I'll be taking it out of your hide in the next few hours."

Lexi frowned and began licking my cock. Ironically, her less frenzied efforts were more pleasurable than her previous lackluster performance. Aurora slipped her arms from beneath and under Elaine. She stood and went to the sideboard and deftly unlocked and removed her cuffs before turning back to Lexi and I. Elaine rolled to her side and watched her friend's performance while reaching for my hand.

Aurora wiped her face with a warm towel and then dipped her fingers in a bowl of scented oil before coming back over and kneeling next to Lexi. She reached one hand to the back of Lexi's head and slowly pushed her head down, forcing the head of my cock deeper than Lexi had taken it before, pushing into the tight opening of her throat. Lexi raised up, struggling to breathe. Consequently, she raised her ass off her heels, and Aurora slipped her lubed fingers between Lexi's asscheeks.

Lexi's head lifted all the way off of me. She tried to twist around, but Aurora grabbed her hair.

"Stop!" Lexi said as Aurora's hand moved more quickly against Lexi's ass. I could not tell, but suspected a lubed finger was in her ass, or her pussy, or both.

"I'll tell you when to stop, wench," Aurora said with a laugh. "You're going to thank your master properly before our real fun begins. Since you can't seem to really apply yourself, I'm helping you."

Before Lexi could respond, Aurora forced her head down again.

My cock pushed into her throat. Aurora held her down firmly and stroked Lexi with her other hand. The blonde arched her back and tried to lift her head, which was finally enough stimulation to bring on my orgasm. I pumped a load directly into her throat before Aurora let her lift her head enough to catch the remainder in her mouth. Finally, Lexi lifted completely off me. Her eyes were tearing and red, but that did not prevent Aurora from grabbing her hair and kissing her forcefully, sucking some of my come out of my schoolmate's mouth.

"Tasty," Aurora said with a smile. She stood and moved around me to kiss Elaine as well. She looked at us all and then nodded to me. "Let's have a moment to relax and then we'll go somewhere a little more private for round two."

"Elaine," she said, "Help Cosimo get dressed. You," she pointed at Lexi, "get him a drink and some fruit."

Lexi gave us both a sullen look and then moved to comply, her wrists still cuffed together. Aurora removed the cuffs only after I had a drink in my hand and my pants back on. She gave me a silent toast and sipped her own drink before continuing.

"Elaine is going to be a challenge for me," she said conversationally. "Wearing the blue is going to put a few limits on my usual routine and approach. I might have to get a little inventive. Cosimo, friend, what do you think the start of the time should be?"

I shrugged, keeping my gaze on Aurora while watching Lexi and Elaine from the corner of my eye. "You mentioned going someplace else. How about when we get there?"

I knew she would lead us to either the dungeon or the aerie. I was more than a little curious as to which path we would take.

"Perfect. That means I can take a few preparatory steps."

She moved back over to the cabinet the cuffs had come from and opened several additional drawers. She hummed to herself as she rummaged through the contents before standing straight with a smile of triumph.

"These will be perfect," she said as she held up a pair of black cowls. She crossed over to Elaine and slipped the mask over her head and positioned it, so the top half of her face was covered. A small buckle fastened at the back, holding it tightly in place. Lexi's eyes got wide as a second cowl was produced for her, but breathed a sigh when Aurora only sat it on the lounge.

"I want you to see the complete outfit," she said in a stage whisper, "so you know exactly what you'll look like for Cosimo."

Aurora went back to the cabinet and returned with a few other things. While the cowl stayed off, Lexi soon found her wrists behind her back once more wrapped in soft leather cuffs. A matching strap was used to pull her elbows together, forcing her shoulders back and her chest to be pushed out. With ease, Aurora pinched her jaw and inserted a ball gag, strapped it in place, and then pulled the guest shift off her.

"Do you think she looks attractive like this, Cosimo?" Aurora asked. Before I could respond, she shook her head. "No, she needs some jewelry, I think."

She went back to the cabinet. Silver chains dangled from butterfly clips. Aurora held them before Lexi with a smile. "I wonder what you'll think of these," she said in a conversational tone before tweaking one of Lexi's nipples to the point she could affix the clip. She increased the tension until Lexi tried to pull away.

Smack! She slapped her bare ass with an open palm. "Stand still, or you'll get much worse," Aurora commanded. Lexi forced herself to stand still, and the second clip was fastened in place.

Lexi gave me a pleading look as Aurora returned to the cabinet. I considered giving her a smile of sympathy, but decided the night called for a different response, especially in light of her threats to Elaine. I stepped closer and stoked my hand softly over the red hand print Aurora had placed on her ass cheek.

"Arrogance, ambition, and ignorance are a dangerous combination, Lexi. You've ended up exactly where you thought you wanted to be, but it's not going to be anything like you imagined. If I were you, I'd give into the fact that you are no longer in control. If you do that, you have a chance of learning more than how much an aristo can hurt you if you threaten something they view as theirs."

I felt Aurora return as I looked Lexi in the eye, and then gave each clip an additional turn to tighten the pinch.

"I thought those might be a little loose," Aurora said as she grabbed the chain connecting them and gave an experimental tug. Lexi leaned forward slightly, bending at the waist, and Aurora pushed her back against the lounger, catching her off balance. Lexi sat down hard and was pushed all the way back until she was lying flat. Aurora stood between her legs and pushed her knees apart.

"Cosimo, do you think you can fasten this?" she asked as she held up another clip on a longer chain.

I sat next to Lexi and stroked my fingers through her dark blonde pussy hair before parting her lips and stroking along her slit. Despite the pain from the other clips, I felt her getting moist as I teased her clit. I continued until she was lifting her hips a little on each stroke. Then, I grabbed her protruding clit and slipped it between the plates of the clip before they snapped closed and she shrieked into her ball gag.

"Well, done, Cosimo," Aurora said. She took the longer chain from the clit clip up and beneath the ones connecting the two nipple clips. She pulled Lexi upright and then attached a silver weight to the end of the chain before forcing her back to her feet. The weight pulled on the chain, tugging on both her nipples and her clit with each motion.

"Think about how that's going to feel as we walk you through the club and up to my special room in the aerie," Aurora said. "Everyone we pass is going to see the moisture running down your legs, and the tears on your cheeks, and know they just have to make Cosimo or me an offer and we can be rid of such a lazy fuck and ungrateful guest. I bet you really wished you had thanked your friend properly or demonstrated some skill to Cosimo earlier."

Lexi's eyes went wide again, before Aurora slipped the cowl over her head and covered her eyes. A supple black collar was the last element of her new outfit.

Aurora admired her handiwork for a minute before moving back to Elaine and whispering something to her. Elaine nodded her head once, and then Aurora slipped the cowl from Elaine and stepped from in front of her, so she had a clear view of Lexi's bondage. Aurora took a leash and attached it to Lexi's collar before handing the other end to Elaine. My timid girlfriend smiled as she stood in naked glory before her clamped and bound friend.

"I think we're ready to take a stroll to get this party started," Aurora said.

She took my arm and looked over her shoulder at Elaine and Lexi. She spoke for Lexi's benefit, pretending to be the holder of the leash. "If I need too many tugs to keep you moving, I'll put the lead on one of the chains instead of your collars," she said. "Nod if you understand."

Lexi nodded, and Elaine smiled. We then exited the alcove.

We could have taken an elevator the to the aerie, but instead took a long walking route through the common lounge, before ascending the long, curved stairway leading up to the exclusive apartments of the Red Wing. It did not surprise me that Aurora had access to one of the private retreats. Given her status and tastes, it would have been surprising if she had not been provided with such accommodations.

By the time the long walk was over, I knew Lexi was approaching that delicate balancing point between pain and pleasure. She could hear the people we passed pausing their conversations to admire or pity her. Not being able to see their expressions had to be magnifying her perception of what they were thinking or where they were looking. Elaine's posture had stiffened as we approached the first cluster of people. She straightened her spine and lifted her chin as she held Lexi's leash in one hand. Aurora and I smiled. When asked about wagers for either of our guests, we simply replied, "Perhaps later."

"So, four hours after we enter?" Aurora asked.

"A bet is a bet," I replied.

She kissed my cheeks. She took the lead from Elaine and tugged Lexi into the room. Elaine and I followed. The room was spectacular. It was one of the corner rooms in the tower with windows overlooking the city on two walls. There was a large bed to one side, but the padded bench with a sturdy pipe arch at one end was the centerpiece of the room. Aurora moved Lexi to the bench and sat her down. She undid the elbow tie and then released the cuffs from one another before pushing Lexi flat and attaching the cuffs to convenient rings at the head of the bench. Once her hands were fastened, she pulled the cowl off and removed the ball gag. As soon as the gag was out, Lexi sobbed.

"Cosimo, I'm so sorry. Please, please forgive me," she said with what sounded like real feeling.

"Cosimo is not in charge for the next few hours, my little whore. You should be begging me," Aurora said.

She moved to the foot of the bench, lifted Lexi's knees and slipped a cross member beneath them. With a practiced move, she swung a strap around and soon fastened one, and then the other, knees to the padded piping. She raised the bar, forcing Lexi to scoot her ass down until she was barely on the end of the bench. Her pussy and ass were on lewd display for us.

Aurora stepped back to admire her handiwork. She lifted the chains, tugging on the three clips and eliciting a moan of pain from Lexi.

"Would you like these taken off?" she asked.

"Yes," Lexi cried.

Aurora gave them a firmer tug. "If you fail to address me as Mistress once more, I'll hang you by these," she said. Lexi tried to move to ease the pain unsuccessfully.

"Please, mistress, I'm sorry."

"You will be," Aurora said, dropping the chains. "Elaine!" she commanded.

Elaine hurried to her side. Aurora guided her to the head of the bench, facing the foot and had her lift one leg over until she was standing astride Lexi's face.

"Whore, I'll remove the clamps once your friend orgasms on your tongue. If I don't think you're applying yourself quickly enough, I'll find a way to encourage you."

Lexi lifted her head and snaked her tongue across Elaine's pussy. Elaine smiled and leaned forward to support herself with her arms at Lexi's sides as she lowered her pussy against her friend's lips and tongue.

Aurora came to my side as we watched Lexi work on her friend. I was torn between the eroticism of the sight and the blatant power abuse the situation represented. My mother had insisted I get over my soft-heartedness, especially when it came to what she considered 'fleeting attachments'.

I was startled when Aurora slipped one arm around my waist and then cupped my balls and semi-erect dick through my pants.
