There were a few minor things. For instance, I had to pull one of my doms out of a session when the female client expressed discomfort with him.

A male client had to be reprimanded when he propositioned one of my subs for sex. However, he meekly apologized and continued the session without incident.

He was nothing like the German…

Or the handsome Italian.

Strangely enough, I found myself scanning the bar area for him –

Roberto Rosolini.

Once I’d calmed down, I considered thatperhapsI had overreacted.

Okay…

I haddefinitelyoverreacted.

I was prepared to talk to him again and try to smooth things over…

And realized I was the tiniest bit disappointed when I didn’t see him.

My disappointment disappeared when I asked Jiangbei about him.

She told me he’d left with Han a few minutes after our ‘discussion.’

If he’s hanging out with Han, he IS an asshole,I thought, and promptly forgot all about him.

I left De Sade at 4 AM, drove home, ate a microwaved frozen dinner, and promptly collapsed into bed.

I woke around noon, showered, and dressed in normal street clothes. Five minutes later, I was driving down the tree-lined road towards Hong Kong in my silver Bentley convertible.

When I reached the club, I parked in the underground garage and took the elevator.

Bowen, my assistant and De Sade’s daytime manager, was waiting for me with a report on the previous night’s receipts.

“1.87 million,” he said as he held up the zippered pouch we used for the club’s cash receipts.

1.87 million Hong Kong dollars was equivalent to $240,000 US.

“Plus another 990,000 in Bitcoin and Ether transactions,” Bowen said as he tucked a flash drive and a piece of white computer paper into the pouch. Both the paper and the flash drive listed the crypto accounts the 990,000 had come from.

More and more of our customers’ payments were in crypto. Only cash payments were more discreet.

2.86 million Hong Kong dollars total…

So, about $366,000 US dollars.

Not bad.

Of course, a little over half of that would go to payroll. At $1200 to $5000 US dollars per hour, my subs and doms were some of the most highly compensated in all of Asia’s fetish scene – but they were worth it. I only hired the best.

Still, that left around $180,000 in gross profit.

After rent, utilities, support staff wages, alcohol, and other items, I would net around $15,000 US, given my 10% stake in the club.

Not bad for a night’s work.

But for the first time since last night, I thought of the handsome Italian man and his offer to pay me $10,000 per hour.
