The three of them left my office discussing a color scheme and how they wanted to dress the gate keeper up as Mrs. Claus. I love the thought of seeing the club’s front desk admission receptionist’s reaction when they told her their bright plan. I’d never seen her dressed in anything but a shirt and slacks. This I’d have to see.
I stood and headed out to the reception area to watch the epic fail unfold. I stopped at the bar to get some sweet tea and nursed it as I made my way to see the action. I stood in the doorway and watched as Amy told Tiffany her brilliant plan. Tiffany nodded in all the appropriate places as she listened. I sipped more tea and glanced into the main room to watch one of the scenes that was playing out nearby. When I turned back to Amy and Tiffany, they were hugging. I squinted in disbelief.
“Tiffany, I’m so happy that you agreed to be Mrs. Kinky Claus. We can get together and go shopping for something really sexy,” Amy plotted.
Was she always this convincing? I needed to consider hiring her to work for me somehow. I didn’t have any positions open, but I’d make one for the kind of influence that she easily exuded.
Sampson leaned on the counter with his curly black hair pulled back off his face. His eyes always seemed mischievous as if he was up to something that no one suspected. His caramel skin next to Amy’s pale complexion brought back the question that I’d wondered since they became members. I knew that Sampson was Amy’s adopted brother. They seemed close, as if they’d known each other for their entire life. The bond that they shared could never be denied. But what was the story there?
I looked over at Alisha and instantly she blushed. Her bronze tone darkened and I smiled. She was probably thinking about the last session that we’d had together. It was intense and she was still probably feeling the sting from the spanking I’d given her with my bare hand. I’d enjoyed it just as much as she did.
“Boss.” I turned to see Aiden approaching.
We nodded in greeting.
“Hey, Aiden.”
“I was just coming to ask you to supervise a scene for me while I head upstairs to check on the guests up there.”
I drained the contents of the cup and threw it into the trash. “Sure thing. Who’s playing?”
When Aiden didn’t respond, I looked over to see him observing Sampson unknowingly. Sampson, Amy, and Alisha were still chatting with Tiffany and unaware of the two of us.
“You going to keep staring at Sampson or do something about it?” I asked Aiden.
Finally hearing me, his eyes darted to mine. “What?”
I chuckled. “Nothing, Aiden.”
At the mention of his name, Sampson looked back and froze. After a second, he shyly smiled and waved at Aiden. I loved how Sampson didn’t shy away from danger. He faced it head on and waited for the consequences. It was an admirable trait. Boys weren’t my thing, though. I was too into the curves that women provided to consider men. They didn’t offer the same softness and beauty.
Aiden turned and walked off toward the stairs. I glanced back at Sampson to see him fanning his face.
“Master Howard, Master Aiden is the most beautiful god I’ve ever seen. Thank you for gracing us with him as a Master at Club Illusions.” Sampson sounded like a paid commercial.
“No problem. Next time, I’ll have to charge you for the entertainment,” I joked.
“To watch him, you can have all my money,” Sampson supplied.
I laughed. “I’ll keep that in mind if I ever go broke.”
I turned and headed to the area that Aiden had approached from. He never told me which scene I needed to watch, but I’m sure that it had to be the one in the corner. I left the group of submissives to their own devices and prepared myself to watch the scene.
As I headed over, I stopped to gaze around the club. With the help of a few friends, I’d managed to bring another dream of mine to life. At times, I wondered if I was asleep and I feared that at any moment, I’d awaken and everything would vanish. I had a few businesses under my belt and they all ran smoothly. I had a family that I loved and friends that I adored. There was only one thing missing, and I wasn’t sure who she was or where to find her.
