Chapter One
Sitting in the club at the subs’ tea, Lennox watched her from across the room. She sat in a group of other subs. They chatted and laughed, and she sat and smiled and joined in the conversation. What had Angus seen in her? She wasn’t young. She was passably pretty but nothing special. So why had he fallen so hard for her? She looked up and saw Lennox regarding her, and smiled at him. Her whole face lit up. She was transformed before his eyes. Yes, he could see why a man like Angus would fall. She beckoned. He stood up and walked over to her.
“Hello, I’m Lennox Greene.”
“I’m Jane Scott. You’re new here aren’t you?”
“It’s so nice to meet you, Jane. Yes, I am. It’s the first time I’ve been to the club. Angel suggested I come to a subs’ tea to get to know people.”
“Do you know Angel well then?”
“I wouldn’t say I know him well. I work with him. I’ve just got a job in Parkgate Cutlery.
“Are you from Sheffield?”
“Yes, I’ve lived here in Shiregreen all my life. What about you?”
“Me, too. Do you like the club?”
“Yes, I’m not sure about BDSM yet, but this club looks to be an excellent place to start.”
“Yes, it’s very safe. You’ll be able to explore without risking yourself.”
“Do you like BDSM?”
“Well my husband is a Dom, so yes I do.”
“Have you been a member long?”
“Only a couple of years.”
“Did you go to other clubs first?”
“No. This was the first club I came to. I liked it, and I met my husband here. Forgive me, but have we met before? You remind me of someone.”
“No, I don’t think so. I’m sure I would have remembered you if we’d met.”
“Jane, how nice to see you. Come on over and say hello to your grandson,” Gloria called to her.
“This is your grandson?” Lennox asked.
“No, Gloria is my next-door neighbour. I’m his honorary grandma.”
Jane hugged Gloria and accepted the little bundle she was handed. Rhys was a blue-eyed, black-haired, carbon-copy of his father, Llewellyn, who Angel had introduced him to earlier. His little mouth puckered into a smile as Jane tickled his cheek, kissed him, and cuddled him close.
“I’m sure he’s grown, and it’s only a couple of days since I saw him.”
Gloria laughed happily. “He eats like a horse and has an appetite like Master’s. I expect he’s going to be a big man.”
“Llewellyn, as you know, Lennox, is the Dom in charge of training at Prometheus in Chains. He’s very strict in the training of Doms and subs but a pleasant companion, and he dotes on his slave, Gloria, and now his baby son. Gloria lives with him in a twenty-four seven D/s relationship. But I’m forgetting my manners. Gloria, love, this is Lennox Greene. This is his first visit to Prometheus in Chains. He works with Angel.”
“Lennox, this is Gloria, Master Llewellyn’s slave. You will meet him in the club as he’s in charge of training Doms and subs. This is their son, Rhys.”
“Nice to meet you, Gloria and Rhys. Angel introduced me to Master Llewellyn, earlier.”
“Nice to meet you, too, Lennox. Do you like what you’ve seen?”
“Yes, I do.”
“I was just asking him if we’d met. He reminds me of someone,” Jane said, cuddling Rhys close into her
arms and raining butterfly kisses on the top of his head and his face, to his delight. “Rhys is as charming as his dad.”
“Oh but he has a loud wail if he’s hungry.”
As if on cue, Rhys’s small face puckered up and a loud wail rent the air. It seemed far too loud for such a small baby.
“Hungry, is he?” Jane passed him back to Gloria, who collected him and went off to change him. On her return, she seated herself on the sofa by Jane and proceeded to breast feed her infant. Lennox felt uncomfortable, and it must have shown.
“You’ll see a lot more than that in the club. Best get used to nudity, or you are going to be more than uncomfortable.”
“Yes, it’s just… Oh I don’t know. It’s a natural process but not one I’m familiar with.”
“You have no family then?”
“I’m not in a relationship at the moment,” Lennox said and could not help the wistful tone in his voice.
* * * *
Jane did understand. Lennox was maybe looking for a partner and thought the club was a good place to find someone. She smiled reminiscently. It had worked for her and her Master, Angus, who was part owner of the club. Master Prometheus, who was the other partner and managed the club, sometimes grumbled that he seemed to be running a marriage agency rather than a BDSM club. He couldn’t complain as he’d found his own wife-to-be, Jenny, in the club. It did seem as if there was something in the air in the club. No it wasn’t that. It was the people involved in the club that made it what it was. They cared about each other and helped out when they could. Now it seemed as if they had a new young person to take under their wing. She hoped that they would be able to help him to find happiness. She was so happy herself and liked nothing better than to see those around her as contented as she was. Now if I could only rid myself of the idea that I know Lennox Greene from somewhere.
Chapter Two
Lennox was well pleased with his first visit. He’d got to know the one person he’d been hoping to meet, and she’d been very friendly. It was going to make his job a whole lot easier. It had taken him quite a few months to get that job in Parkgate Cutlery. His research into Prometheus in Chains and its patrons had taken some time, as they guarded their secrets well. In the end he’d taken to parking on the street outside and following a different car each night. When he discovered that one of them belonged to Adrian Webster, son of the owner of Parkgate Cutlery, his next step had been obvious. He applied for the first job in the firm that came up. Being a qualified accountant did help, and he could turn on the charm when he wanted to. He got the job then began his campaign to get acquainted with Adrian. It wasn’t an easy task, and the head of human resources was a busy man. Then they’d met at a work-do and hit it off. When he’d been introduced to Adrian’s partner, Catriona, his name had intrigued her and they’d talked for a while. Things had moved slowly from there, but eventually he’d managed to get a recommendation to Prometheus in Chains. Now he had the entrée, and he could proceed cautiously with his plan. The one thing that did worry him was Jane’s insistence that she knew him from somewhere. She didn’t, but there was a good reason for her thinking that, a very good reason indeed. He wanted to take his time over this, and if Jane realised, it would spoil his agenda.
After the subs’ tea, Lennox decided to join Prometheus in Chains. He filled in the forms and signed up for classes with Master Llewellyn. He had no partner to take with him, so he was paired with a new sub. In the classroom waiting for Master Llewellyn, Lennox met her.
“Hello, my name is Lennox Greene. I understand we’re to be paired tonight.”
“Hello, Lennox, nice to meet you. I’m Anna Carruthers. Yes, I’m here on my own, and Master Llewellyn prefers couples. We can see how it goes.”
Lennox certainly liked what he saw. Anna was tall at five ten. Her short blonde hair was spiked with some sort of gel. Her large green eyes sparkled with mischief. Her turned-up nose, rosebud-mouth, and high cheek-bones all added up to a pleasant face. She had a lovely figure, sheathed in a powder-blue corset. It revealed her large, firm breasts, neat waist, and generous hips. Her legs were long and shapely in black fishnet stockings with wide lace tops and a garter belt. He licked his lips in appreciation. He’d always loved stockings on a woman and hated tights. She watched him assessing her and smiled. Was she submissive? It didn’t look like it to him, but then Master Llewellyn walked in and she dropped to her knees, hands behind her back, her eyes lowered. Submissive indeed. It just took a real Dom did it? Lennox decided he’d like to be that Dom. He stood and waited to hear what Master Llewellyn had to say. He’d heard of his reputation, and when he looked at him, he could believe everything he’d heard. Master Llewellyn spent an hour explaining what he expected, what the club expected, and getting them to tell him what they thought the lifestyle was about. Anna seemed to have some idea, but Lennox was sadly lacking. Not only was he not able to explain clearly why he thought he was a Dom, but he even had difficulty explaining what SSC and RISK meant. The big Dom looked askance at him a couple of times. I shall have to do more research, or they are going to wonder what’s wrong and why I want to be a Dom in training when I know so little about it.
Contrary to what Lennox had expected, there were no scenes and no whips or bondage. Llewellyn took all the protocols seriously and expected them to do reading and research in their spare time. The classes would take place three times a week, and they’d be expected to attend every one on time or take the consequences. He asked if they were content to be paired. Lennox waited and let Anna answer first.
“It’s early to say, Master Llewellyn, but we seem to get on.”
Lennox said he agreed with Anna.
“Good, well, try and meet in the club on the nights you have no classes. Anna, I will give you my training collar as a sub and let it be known that you and Lennox are in training under me. No one will ask you to participate in a scene. If anyone approaches you for anything, refer them to me or Master Prometheus if I’m not here. Spend your time in the club observing the other subs and Doms and do stay out of trouble. There are plenty of demonstrations scheduled for this week. Mistress Catriona has one on seme-Kinbaku, which I bet Angel isn’t looking forward to.” His hearty laugh surprised them both and transformed his face. Lennox remembered what Jane had said of him.
“Now, go and explore. I want you to write down your impressions of the club and the people. Don’t hold back. Tell me everything you think and feel. Your journals should be completed after every visit to the club. If you read or do research outside the club, I want that entered with dates and comments, too.” He handed them two note-books with their names on the covers.
“Don’t try to second guess and write what you think I want to read. I shall see through that. Now run along and watch. Keep out of trouble, if you can.” Again the loud laugh filled the room. Then he left them looking at each other.
* * * *
Anna had liked very much what she’d seen of the young man who came into the room where she had been told to wait for Master Llewellyn. He was about six three and taller than she was. His hair was very dark and his brows heavy, almost meeting in the middle over eyes of dark blue with long curling lashes. He wasn’t a handsome man as such, but he was striking. He didn’t look or behave like a Dom or what she, in her ignorance, thought a Dom ought to behave like. He was polite and almost diffident. Is he a sub, too? His voice was deep and smooth, like dark chocolate, and she’d bet he could turn on the charm if he wanted to. When Master Llewellyn came in and she dropped to her knees, Lennox stayed on his feet, so that was that. He was either a Dom-let in training or a sub with a death wish. She was puzzled by some of Lennox’s answers to the simplest questions, and she could see that Master Llewellyn was, too. There was some mystery here. Why was he getting training? He didn’t seem to know a great deal about the lifestyle. She would enjoy finding out. That was the main reason for her saying that she’d stay with the pairing. She was intrigued, and yes, if she was being honest, she did fancy
him. She added a mental “for the moment.” She didn’t know him, but she’d like to. She’d stick with him for now. There was no need to say that out loud.
* * * *
Lennox went into the main area with Anna. The sound from the speakers was very loud. Going over to the uncollared subs’ area, they went down the steps and found seats. Lennox noticed that the subs were not all uncollared, but he was the only Dom in there. One or two strange looks were cast his way, but as he sat and chatted easily with Anna and anyone else who happened to address a remark to him, his status was soon forgotten or ignored. He listened avidly to all the gossip. He believed that there was a lot to be learned from others’ idle chatter. Anna was a great help as she asked questions about the club and its Doms.
“Who owns the club?”
“Well it’s Masters Prometheus and Angus. Master Prometheus runs it,” one of the subs said.
“How many other Doms are there?” Anna asked.
“Not many are unattached now. There were two, Masters Jack and Rafael, but Master Rafael just collared not one but two subs.”
“Those are his subs sitting over there.” The girl who had spoken pointed out a small brown-haired woman and a blond man whose hair was almost white blond. They were sitting close together and chatting. “Johann is bi-sexual, and Thyme is hetero, but they get on so very well and Master Rafael is so attentive.” Clearly the girl had a thing for the Dom herself.
