“Whatever you need. I just know I need to be here.”

“I understand. For the time being, let’s dance!”

The five of us moved to the dance floor and started dancing together. It was crowded but we managed. I met a dark-haired woman’s eyes on the other side and was immediately drawn to her. I didn’t care that I was dancing with them or that I was supposed to stay with Raven. I had to meet that woman. By the time I weaved my way to the other side, she was gone.

Damn it.

Once I was a member… and I had no doubt I would be… I was going to find that woman.

I spent the rest of the night dancing and chatting with the girls, already feeling like part of the group.

“Hi, you must be Shelby. I’m Jason and I’ll be interviewing you today.”

“Hey, Jason. It’s nice to meet you. You’re Leah’s Dom, right?”

“Yup, that’s me. I heard you’re already like part of the family, so this is really more of a formality.”

“Okay, do your worst,” I grinned.

“Okay, normally I’d ask how you found the club but I already know that. So, why are you applying now?”

“I’m moving to the city and it just made sense to come here. I’m friends with Raven, Seb, and Chase so why would I go anywhere else?”

“You’re right, it seems the most logical decision. How long have you been in the lifestyle?”

“I went to my first club ten years ago when I was nineteen. I never looked back.”

“And you identify as?—”

“I’m a switch. It took me a little longer to come to that conclusion but I had some great friends who helped me through the process of getting to know myself.”

“I’m glad to hear that. So often people are just kind of left floating with no idea how to make sense of things. What do you hope to gain from a membership here?”

“Well, obviously, I would love to just experience the club. There are so many things to consider here. I’m also not opposed to finding a partner.”

“Just out of curiosity, are you hoping to find a Dom or a sub?”

“I’m honestly not sure. Maybe I’ll find two people like Raven did,” I smiled.

“Maybe so.”

He asked some cursory questions and then wrapped up what he called the fastest interview in the history of the club. I had a great feeling about this.

KENLEY

? ?? She’s a good girl on the outside … ???

Ihad been a member at Club Inhibition for more than five years. It was where I had really, truly come to understand my wants and desires. It was where I learned that I didn’t always have to be the good girl that was expected of me in my vanilla world. More importantly, it was where I had found Noah, my Dom for the last four years. Well, my Dom until six months ago when my whole world changed.

I got to the club about half an hour ahead of Noah. I was sitting at the bar having a drink when he walked up behind me and kissed my neck. I shivered, my neck being one of the most sensitive spots on my body.

“Hey, sunshine. How are you doing tonight?”

“Better now that you’re here. How are you?”

“I’m fantastic. Let’s go find a table and talk. I have news.”

“Wouldn’t you rather find a room?” I grinned.
