Yes, she’s a very lucky woman,” Virginia said, hoping she’d succeeded in keeping the envy out of her voice.
“So are you, Virginia.”
“Am I? What do you mean?”
“All the time I’ve been here, subs have cast out lures for Valkyrie. He’s never taken any of them up for more than an hour or so, yet you are, living in his flat. He looks at you as if he could devour you with his eyes, and he’s been that way for a long time. True, he didn’t let it show until recently, but I saw it when he looked at you as you served the refreshments. He couldn’t take his eyes off you.”
“Is it really so?”
“Yes, it is. Why would I lie to you?”
“Sorry, I didn’t mean you are lying, just that you might be mistaken. Why would he want me when he could have any of these younger women?” Virginia asked.
“He wants you. Love doesn’t obey any logic. Look at Master Lucifer and myself. Why would he pursue me all over Europe? Because he loves me, of course, and no other will do for either of us. What’s more, you want Valkyrie, I saw the way you watched him as he left you. You’re head over heels in love with him.”
“Yes, I know I am. I’m just afraid it won’t last,” Virginia admitted.
There was a snap of fingers and Devil was kneeling on the floor, his head bowed and his hair flowing over his shoulders to the ground. Virginia kept her eyes lowered, as Valkyrie had warned her to do. She saw black boots and leathers.
“Up.” The word was enough to bring Devil to his feet, and she risked a peep. What she saw made her pant, and moisture collected in her pussy. Devil was kissing Master L, who held him by the neck with one hand whilst the other grasped his behind and pressed him to his Dom. She saw the play of the taut muscles in his lower back and buttocks as he ground his erection against his Dom’s. She’d never seen anything hotter in her life. They were the centre of attention, but neither seemed to know or care. They parted at last.
“That will have to do for now, love. We’re going to watch the demonstrations. I have a couple of things in mind I’d like to try.” Master L laughed, but his voice was so full of affection it sounded like a caress, and as Devil smiled at him, his love shone out of his eyes. They walked off together. Devil followed his Master, his back straight and his head held high.
Well, that leaves me. They’re all so very happy. From what Devil said, they had a stormy beginning, but now they have worked it all out. So why can’t I? Do I want Valkyrie? Yes, I do. What if he gets tired of me? If he does, I shall have lost him and the job I love, because I will not stay in the club and watch him with someone else. I wish there was a cast-iron guarantee that we would be together forever, but there can’t be. I just couldn’t start again if he left me. Oh, what the hell am I going to do?
She got no further, because she saw him striding toward her. He looked neither to the right nor to the left, but straight at her. She heard rather than saw the other subs whispering and giggling. He stopped in front of her and held out his hand. He didn’t need to speak. She took it, and he pulled her to her feet and into his arms. He bent his head and his lips met hers, and her head reeled. He held her tightly and claimed her mouth in a passionate kiss. She tangled her fingers in his long hair and held on for all she was worth. When he broke the kiss, he didn’t let her go, and she was grateful for that, as she wasn’t sure she could stand on her wobbly legs.
“The demonstrations are ready. Come along, let’s go and see if there’s anything that takes your fancy, my pet.”
The raised area had been cleared, and a sub was being attached to the St. Andrew’s cross. He was a small, tubby man and his Dom was tall and very thin. Virginia wanted to laugh at the contrast, and she had to bite her lip. Valkyrie must have noticed.
“Good girl. You see, Virginia, BDSM is not just for the young and beautiful on the outside. What matters most is what’s inside. These two have been a couple for years. They have a deep connection. Jasper would do anything for Master Anton. The Dom cares deeply for his sub, and when they do a scene it’s as if they were alone. For each of them, there is only the other. No-one else matters. Now, watch carefully.”
Virginia watched as the tall Dom tested the cuffs that held Jasper in place. Only when he was satisfied that his sub was comfortable did he walk over and pick up a whip. Virginia flinched and would have hidden her face in Valkyrie’s broad chest, but he wouldn’t let her.
“No, pet. You must look,” he said softly, but firmly, in her ear.
The Dom raised the whip and Virginia held her breath. The “crack” as the first blow fell, and the low moan of the man on the cross, fell on the silence in the club. He raised the whip again and placed a second stripe just below the first. Jasper moaned, but he didn’t cry out. Virginia now discovered that she, like all the rest, couldn’t take her eyes off the scene. After the sixth blow, the Dom walked over and spoke to his sub. What he heard must have reassured him, because he returned to his place and delivered a further six blows. Then he coiled his whip and replaced it in his bag. Walking over to the sub, he released the ankle cuffs first, then the wrist cuffs. He caught his man as he fell back into his arms. Lifting him, he strode off to a secluded area, and a sub followed with his bag, and then was sent off. Virginia watched as Master Anton wrapped Jasper in a soft blanket and held him in his arms. The sub came back with water and a towel. Master Anton held the bottle to Jasper’s lips and helped him drink. Jasper must have asked a question, because his Dom nodded and one hand opened the folds of the blanket, grasped his cock, and pumped up and down until Jasper arched his back and called out his Dom’s name. He came into the towel his Dom held. Master Anton gathered him into his arms and kissed him softly. He began gently to clean him up.
Virginia saw no more, because Valkyrie was urging her to look at the pair that now took to the stage. The sub was a striking redhead, with green eyes and a pale complexion. She was totally naked apart from leather wrist and ankle-cuffs, but she seemed not to mind that all eyes were upon her. She lay down on the bed that had been placed on the stage, and her Dom busied himself with his preparations.
“Safety is paramount. You mustn’t attempt this until you have had instruction. Any old candle won’t do. If anyone is interested, I will answer questions at the end of the demonstration. I shall blindfold Janetta, as it heightens the pleasure for her. Thank you,” the Dom said and turned to his sub. He placed the blindfold on her eyes, clasped the cuffs at ankles and wrists onto the restraints on the bed, and then he tested them for comfort. Her legs were spread wide apart, and Virginia blushed at the sight of the red and engorged lips of Janetta’s pussy. She was already aroused.
Virginia was fascinated, but she couldn’t help flinching as the hot wax dripped from the candle onto the body of the young girl. First, her Dom covered one breast, then the other in the hot wax, the dark-red contrasting with her pale skin. Janetta began to moan and arch her back. Valkyrie chuckled and whispered to Virginia, “He will make her wait.”
“Wait for what?” she asked.
“Patience, pet, and you’ll see,” he replied.
Virginia watched as very slowly the Dom dripped wax onto Janetta’s taut belly. He was taking his time, and the more Janettta writhed, the slower he went. As he approached her shaven pussy, Virginia saw that she was wet, and the girl began to pant. The Dom circled her pussy lips and dripped wax onto her upper thighs, and still she struggled against the restraints, arching her back and offering her pussy to her Dom until finally he dripped the hot wax onto her clit and she shrieked as she came. As orgasms went, it was a spectacular and long-lasting one. When the spasms were over, the Dom released the cuffs and helped her off the bed. He summoned a waiting Dom, who picked her up and carried her off to attend to her.
“Normally I would see to my sub’s after-care myself, but as I am to answer your questions, a brother Dom is taking over for me. Now ask what you want to know.” After he’d taken care of all the usual questions about burning, dangers, types of candles,
if it was suitable for male subs, et cetera, the crowd dispersed. There was going to be an interval of ten minutes before the next demonstration.
“Well, Virginia, have you seen anything you’d like to try?” Valkyrie asked.
“Not the whip. I couldn’t stand the pain. How can Jasper put up with it?” she asked, shuddering.
“Jasper enjoys it. After a few blows, he’s in sub-space. He doesn’t feel the pain then. Afterwards, Anton will take care of him and bring him down. Jasper loves that. His skin wasn’t broken, as Anton is very skilled, and in a couple of days there will be no trace at all.”
“Nevertheless, I really don’t want to do that,” Virginia said firmly.
“What about the hot wax?”
“I thought at first it must be horrible, but Janetta loved it. How can she lie there, so intimately exposed to everyone’s gaze?”
“She’s young and she laps it up, as you saw.”
“Yes, it mustn’t be so bad if you are young and beautiful,” Virginia said wistfully.
“You may not be as young as her, but you are beautiful.”
Virginia was about to make a rude noise when she remembered why she was wearing no knickers, and stopped herself. She didn’t want to lose any more items of clothing.
“Look, why don’t you give it a try? He’ll blindfold you, and it’s the interval, so everyone will be at the bar getting a drink.”
Virginia thought about it. What have I got to lose? She seemed to enjoy it, and I am curious to know how it feels. There’s no-one here, so this is as good a time as any.
“Yes, okay I’ll try it,” she said, greatly daring.
Before she realised what was happening, she was on the bed, naked and restrained. Valkyrie stood by her head, and she was grateful for that. Then, the blindfold covered her eyes and the Dom was asking for her safe-words. She gave them, and, when he’d made sure she was comfortable, he began.
At the first drop of wax, she jumped and squeaked. Mainly because she expected a lot of pain, but after the initial hot sensation, it cooled very quickly. Her breasts had always been sensitive, and by the time he’d covered them in wax she was aroused, panting, and wet. He didn’t play with her as long as he had with Janetta, but as he approached her pussy, she could feel the tension gathering. She moaned, and her back arched, seemingly of its own accord. The trail of hot wax slowly circled her pussy, over her upper thighs, and back to her pussy, and then, as it came into contact with her clit, the orgasm that had been gathering burst over her. Her head thrashed from side to side, as waves of exquisite pleasure flowed over her and her body shook in release. She felt the cuffs being removed, and Valkyrie gathered her in a close embrace. She took off the blindfold and blinked. There was a crowd around the raised area. They were all smiling, and Rose waved to her, then gave her the thumbs-up sign. Virginia opened her mouth to give Valkyrie a piece of her mind, but he silenced her with a finger placed over it.
“Think first, pet. You’d never have done that if you’d known. Now you have. You were beautiful in your arousal, and when you came. You mustn’t be ashamed of your body. Please, Virginia, don’t let him win.”
Damn the man, he’s always right. He’s said the one thing to me that justifies his deception, and I suppose if I’m honest, it did work. I would never have done it, had I known. I thought it was just the three of us and so I could relax and enjoy it. I did enjoy it, and I would like to do it again, so where’s the harm?
“I suppose so,” she said slowly. “I did enjoy it, and this must be what you said Doms did, helping their subs to face and overcome their fears.”
“Exactly so, my dear. I’m glad that you enjoyed it and can see the intent behind my deception. I will always take care of you and see that no harm comes to you, Virginia.” The tone in which he said her name sent shivers along her spine. “Come along, we have still time to get a drink before the next demonstration.”
When they returned to the demonstration area, Master Lucifer and Devil were waiting. Virginia had seen the harness that Devil sometimes wore. It was a beautiful confection in dark-green rope. Devil wore it with pride. Now it seemed that she was going to find out exactly how his Dom tied it.
“This tie is called a “water caltrop” tie and is based on the design for an anti-cavalry weapon, a small four-sided spike that was thrown on the road to impede a horse charge during the age of the samurai. It’s tricky to tie, but it looks good on both men and women. You’ve seen Devil wearing it before. The dark-green rope enhances his colouring, but tonight I’m going to use red, as it stands out better on his body.”
When the demonstration had come to an end, Virginia looked at Valkyrie.
“That’s amazing, so intricate, and such intimacy between Devil and his Dom. All three demonstrations have the same characteristics, in that the two taking part seem to be in their own little world. Is it always like that?” she asked.
“Well, no. It’s always better if the sub and Dom have a very close connection. You need to come and observe Lucifer when he’s tying a client. He’s very professional, but the intimacy he shares with Devil is only with him.”
“How can he tie others, then?”
“It’s his job to tie others and to instruct others how to tie well and safely,” Valkyrie said.
“So…” Her question trailed off.
“Remember what I said. Finish your question, Virginia.” Valkyrie spoke firmly, and she took a deep breath and continued.
“So, do Doms fuck their clients?” There, I asked it. He made me ask. If he doesn’t like it, I can’t help it, but I do so want to know. He was silent for a while. Oh goodness, what have I done?
“It all depends. Some Doms fuck every sub they can, others occasionally, and others only their sub. Before you ask, with me it’s only one person and that’s you, Virginia.”
She was trembling with relief, when suddenly he took her hand and towed her out of the club and up to their bedroom. Slowly, he unfastened her corset, all the while gazing into her eyes and ramping up the tension. Her breasts ached and moisture pooled in her pussy and ran down her leg.
“On the bed on your back, pet,” he said.
She complied, and he took her wrists and clasped soft cuffs on them one by one, and then he attached the cuffs to the rings on the bed-post. He crawled up the bed toward her and bent her legs back over her head.
“Hold your legs there, pet.”
She did as he asked, and then she felt his hands part her pussy lips. His fingers held them apart as his mouth descended on her. He licked his way up her slit and to either side of her clit. The feeling was amazing. She forgot the discomfort of the position, as the pleasure built up. His tongue never let up. He laved and flicked his way up and down her pussy without ever touching her clit. She felt her orgasm begin to peak, and then he stopped. Ohmygodohmygodohmygod. Why has he stopped? Just when I was about to come.
He chuckled and began again. After driving her to the brink again, he stopped and let her come down. He did that so many times she lost count. He took no notice of her pleas and curses. When eventually he bit down on her clit and allowed her to come, she screamed his name. The best orgasm she’d ever had rolled over her in wave after wave of exquisite pleasure that was so intense it bordered on pain. Her legs collapsed on the bed as she lost control of her body. Multiple climaxes tore through her. Her blood felt like fire and ice in her veins. As the after-shocks gripped her, she felt Valkyrie’s cock demanding entrance and summoned up enough energy to wrap her legs around his waist. As he pumped in and out of her, her inner muscles gripped him and he groaned. His heavy balls slapped against her bottom, and his dick stroked over her G-spot. Unbelievably, she felt yet another climax gathering as Valkyrie began to speed up. His hips bucked, and she felt the supreme pleasure of her release as he came inside her. He fell on top of her and she clasped him to her, not wanting him to withdraw yet. He lay on top of her for a short while, and then he rolled over, pulling her onto her side and holding her close.
“I want you to move in with me, Virginia,” he said.
Chapter Seven
“I can’t move in with you yet. It’s too soon. I have enjoyed all you’ve shown me.” Virginia’s voice was firm, but he heard the regret.
“I’m not like him, you know,” Valkyrie said.
“I do know that, but it’s too soon. I have to have some independence. I want to see if I can succeed on my own. He always said I wouldn’t manage. I just have to prove him wrong. Can you understand that? I need this for myself. I have to see if I can survive.” Her voice was reasonably firm, but there was a bit of a wobble. Valkyrie took her in his arms.
“Yes, Virginia, of course I understand. You would always doubt yourself if you moved straight from one man to another. He really did a number on you. You have to get rid of his conditioning, and then we can move forward.”
In his arms, she squirmed a little until she got her arms around his waist. He felt a damp patch on his shirt and realised she was crying quietly. He just held her tight and waited for it to pass. She recovered her serenity and pulled out of his embrace to blow her nose.
“Well, I have found a small ground-floor flat, just off Warwick Road. I can live there for the present. I’ll leave some of my things here, if you don’t mind. It’s very small, and being on the ground floor, it’s not that secure.”
“Stop. If it’s not secure, you’re not living in it.”
“I only mean it’s on the ground floor, so I don’t want to leave my treasures there until I’m sure it’s okay.”
“Before you move in, I shall do a security check and add some window bolts and suchlike. That’s not negotiable.”
“Very well, I’d like that. Thank you, Valkyrie,” she said, smiling at him. It was all he could do not to scoop her back into his arms and tell her in no uncertain terms she wasn’t going to live in a poky little flat. I can’t do that to her. She must prove to herself that she can live alone and survive. Most of all, she has to refute all that bastard said to her. Until she does that, we can’t be totally happy. So, I’ll smile and go along with it, for now.
