I waved a servant over. “Why don’t you take her to a play room?” I suggested to Baba. “She seems your type.”

“Yes, I think I will,” he replied, without ever taking his eyes off of her. “I’m going to teach you to like anal,” he said directly to her, and her eyes widened in fear and surprise.

“Take them up to play room two,” I told the servant. “It should be open. If not, try four.”

The young man nodded, and held out a hand to invite Baba and Number Three to follow him.

“So much for breaking in the new girl,” said Mark with a touch of regret as we watched Baba eagerly lead the small, naked girl away, and Sir Vicious made his exit.

“We are the hosts,” I reminded him. “Our members’ pleasure comes first.”

“Yes,” he said resignedly. “I know. It’s just been so long since I had something… I don’t know… new and exciting, if that makes any sense.”

I nodded. Immersed in this world as we had been for more than fifteen years, we sometimes took things for granted. Eventually you needed to push more boundaries, break more taboos. Eventually you needed to go further. I knew it all too well.

“I’ve put in my appearance, but I’m going to go back home and work,” I told him, rising from the couch.

He nodded, eyes skirting around the room, looking for the new plaything that would catch his interest for the night.

I walked back through the house to the rear entrance. Vicious had a point, I mused. We were at full capacity, with several members in each room, and initiates everywhere. We were lucky to have lots of initiates to serve our guests, but we needed space.

And there was only one space that would do, in my opinion. I couldn’t stop thinking about it. Chateau Andilet was a rarity. A huge, full-fledged castle that perfectly represented the kind of lifestyle we wanted to sell to our members. The fact that it was positioned in the middle of a large, remote acreage and was part of a legitimate business made it even more perfect - members could be assured greater privacy in their comings and goings, but their visits could also easily be explained as an interest in the wine business. As consumers themselves - and shippers and distributors - they would gladly help build the business through their networks to maintain their cover. It was a win-win.

We needed Chateau Andilet.

And to get it, I needed a controlling interest in Jordan’s family business.
