I click on the message, my heart hammering in my chest.

Dear BrokenBee,

A match has been made for you with another Member. You have both been notified. Please use this link to initiate a private chat with your potential partner. Like at the Club itself, we encourage the use of anonymity, as well as open and honest communication. Both parties should discuss hard limits and safe words before meeting. Please enjoy your experience.

For a second, it feels like I’m outside my body, watching myself read the message.

Holy. Shit.

Suddenly, this isn’t just fantasy anymore. I’m not just having dirty daydreams about this kink of mine. I’m literally standing at the front door with my finger on the doorbell. Do I push it?

The seconds tick by as I stare at the words “Please use this link to initiate a private chat with your potential partner”.

If I click it, this isn’t fantasy anymore, and there’s no going back. I mean, yes, I could not ask to meet up with this person. Or I could just say no, should they ask me first. Still, if I click it, I’ll have gone through that door and taken the first step down the rabbit hole.

And I’m not sure you can come back from that the same way you went in.

My thumb taps the link, and a jolt of something electric zaps through my core. Instantly, a chat window is brought up between me and my “potential partner”.

Your safe word is VANISH.

I blink, my heart skipping a beat.

That’s the first message. Not “Hello”, not “Good evening, BrokenBee”. No cheesy pickup line at all. I guess this isn’t Tinder.

This is something much, much darker, and much more real.

BrokenBee

Bold to jump right to safe words

RaisedByWolves

If you’re looking for small talk about our favorite books, we can be done now and not waste each other’s time.

BrokenBee

That’s not what I’m looking for

RaisedByWolves

So why don’t you be a good girl and tell me what you ARE looking for.

Why don’t you be a good girl…

Fuck, that’s hot.

BrokenBee

You know what I’m looking for. It’s in my profile

I didn’t fill out much of the optional information in the portal, because I didn’t want to bring too much attention, or accidentally give out any personal details. But in the “what are you looking for in a partner?” section, I was pretty blunt. And he must have read it…which means he wants me to say it anyway.

Fuck, that’s hot too.
