“Don’t be too scared,” Piper says with a smile. “These guys will boss you around, tie you up, and spank you, but most of them are real sweethearts.”

“So I’ve been told.”

The truth is that I still don’t know if this whole “kink lifestyle” is for me. Of course, it’s only my first time, so I know I have plenty of time to think things over, but there’s so much happening here that I really do feel overwhelmed.

“Piper is right,” Odessa says. “And there’s one thing you need to know. You’re a sub, right? I assume you’re a sub.” Christina and Lily both nod on my behalf. “Well, us subs stick together,” she smiles. “If you ever have any questions, or you’re nervous, or you just need someone to talk to, you can come to us. Any one of us would be happy to help you, okay?”

“Really?” It’s almost too good to be true. The sense of community here is incredible. Lily and Christina have told me this before, but I’m not sure I really understood it until now.

“Of course,” Piper says. “We were all new once upon a time. Coming to a place like this can be terrifying. You’re very brave, you know. Don’t be under this impression that you have to participate in something extreme or daunting in order to be considered brave. You don’t. Just coming here shows that you’re courageous.”

“Absolutely,” Lily agrees. “Trust me,” she says. “When we go out there, you might feel a lot of different emotions, and none of those feelings are wrong. Just take a deep breath and remember that everything is going to be okay. You might hate it, but you might love it, and that’s all right, too.”

Christina touches up my makeup and Lily fusses with my hair a little bit, but then it’s time to go. With a deep breath, I stand up and head out of the locker room and into Anchored.

It’s time to take a chance.

Chapter 4

Anthony

“Who the hell is that?” I’m standing with Zack and Jaxson, chatting about stupid work things, when three women emerge from the locker room. Christina and Lily I both know, but the third woman is a mystery to me, and she’s perfect. Her soft makeup accentuates her eyes and makes her lips look full and plump. Instantly, I want to wrap her in my arms and kiss her slowly, tenderly.

“Macie,” Zack says, looking at me. “But don’t you have a regular sub?”

“I do not.”

“What about that one girl you were playing with?” Jaxon starts snapping his fingers, trying to think of her name.

“She moved,” I tell him. “And we weren’t serious. We just played together.”

Jaxson shrugs, and we stand still as the women make their way over to us.

“Ladies,” I say, greeting them. Lily and Christina both look lovely, as always, but Macie is the one who has captured my attention tonight. Her eyes keep flitting to and fro, like she can’t quite take everything in, like she can’t quite figure out what to look at or what to focus on.

“Master Tony,” Lily and Christina both bow their heads demurely, but Macie looks right at me.

“Hello,” she says shyly.

Oh, yes.

She’s very new.

Lily nudges her in the side, and Macie bows her head.

“Master Tony,” she murmurs quietly, and I step forward, invading her space. I reach for her and lift her chin so her eyes meet mine. She blinks, surprised that I’ve touched her.

“It is a pleasure to meet you, Macie,” I tell her, and I’m not lying. Zack chuckles quietly from behind me, but I ignore him. “May I accompany you tonight?” I ask her.

“Oh,” she says, suddenly breaking eye contact and looking to Zack and Jaxson. Then she looks at her wrist. “I, um, I’m new,” she holds up her wrist. “I can’t play tonight.” Then she nods, as if she’s satisfied with the answer she’s given me, and I smile. She looked to her temporary Doms for permission and guidance, which I appreciate. Many new subs would have simply answered for themselves, but she visually checked with them first.

“Zack, Jaxson,” I turn to my friends. “May I have the pleasure of showing your sub around Anchored this evening?”

“Macie,” Zack looks at her. “Would you like to spend the evening with Tony? He’s a close friend of mine and I trust him completely. He won’t harm you, but if you’d prefer to stay with us as a group, that’s all right, too.”

Macie looks from me to Zack to Jaxson to Lily to Christina. Then she bites her bottom lip and it’s the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. She thinks for a minute, and then she nods.

“Yes,” she whispers. “I think that would be all right.”
