My nipples pebbled beneath my dress and my inner thighs were damp with my arousal. I glanced up at him through my lashes, surprised to find his heated gaze on me, one side of his mouth quirked up. It was as though he could read my thoughts. One song melted into the next and the only thing between us now was our clothing and his incredibly hard, exceptionally long cock. We danced for hours until I could barely stay upright.

“Holy shit! Its 2 a.m.!” I exclaimed in shock.

“Time flies, sweetheart,” he grinned. “What are you doing tomorrow?”

“I’m actually having lunch at a restaurant down the street with Sasha.”

“Let me guess… Seduction?”

“You’ve heard of it then?”

“I sure hope so. After all, I own it,” he chuckled.

My jaw dropped. This seriously hot, sexy man somehow managed a huge club, was a restaurateur, and, from what I saw in his private room, played very hard.

“How the hell do you find time for it all?”

“I manage okay. Maybe I’ll see you tomorrow. I know you came here with a date. Do you have a way home?”

“Yeah, I’m just going to catch a cab. Thank you for tonight,” I said, leaning up to kiss his cheek.

“I had a wonderful night, Leah. I hope to see you again soon.”

He leaned down, kissing my forehead gently, and headed to the back of the club. I waved to one of the cabs along the curb and climbed in. After a short ride, I walked through my front door, not at all surprised to see Raven asleep on the couch. I smiled down at my best friend and pulled the blanket off the back of the couch, carefully covering her with it before heading to get ready for bed.

I pulled my car into an empty space and walked to the entrance of Seduction. I went in, eager to see my new friend and curious about the demonstrations she spoke of. Tad had been a complete waste of my time, but I was fairly certain his choice of venue was going to become a big part of my life. I couldn’t help but wonder how Jason might factor into it as well.

“Hi there, table for one?” asked the perky blond hostess.

“No, I’m meeting…”

“Leah, I’m so glad you could come,” grinned Sasha, walking around the hostess’ stand

“Hey, Sasha. It’s good to see you.”

“C’mon, our table is this way.”

I followed her toward the back of the restaurant, looking around as I went. There was a combination of tables and booths, most of which were full. The back wall was mirrored, giving the illusion that the already generously-sized restaurant was even bigger. I was confused when we reached the mirror, bypassing any of the available tables. She led me through a door that was well-camouflaged to the side of the wall.

I was stunned to find that the restaurant didn’t stop at the mirror. Instead, there was an entirely separate room behind what I now knew was one way glass. The noise from the front room all but disappeared behind us and I soon figured out why there was a separation between the two areas. Beside some of the tables and booths that populated the room, were a combination of men and women, kneeling on cushions on the floor. Some of them actually had collars with leashes attached. As in the club the night before, the attire of these patrons certainly didn’t match those in the main dining room.

“Come sit and I’ll explain what you’re seeing,” Sasha laughed.

“I’ve never seen anything quite like this. Obviously, this part of the restaurant caters to people in the lifestyle,” I said.

I slid into the booth opposite her, noticing that the back of the booths went all the way to the ceiling. Sasha waited as the waiter came over and we ordered our drinks.

“That’s exactly right. Jason wanted people to have a place they could go to that didn’t demand they had to conform to certain societal expectations. Here, we get to have a nice meal out and chat freely. It also allows for those who had more of a M/s dynamic, as you can see by the men and women that are using the cushions beside the tables.”

“This is phenomenal, truly unique. It’s clearly popular too. I only see two free tables and it’s only lunchtime.”

“Yup, Seduction is always busy. The food is fantastic and the staff are amazing. Members of the club also get a discount here. So, did you end up staying at the club last night?”

“I did. It was 2 a.m. before I finally left. I admit, I went snooping around after you left and stumbled across one of the private rooms with the door open.”

“Curiosity can bite you in the ass sometimes. Was there anyone in it?”
