Page 28 of The Assignment: Room 3

I handpick every employee for my firm. As a Navy SEAL, I was used to dealing with the best of the best. I can identify a threat a million miles away, and that’s how my guys are trained. I guess my meeting with Jenna just got pushed back. I’ll need to make time to see her next week. The timing might be a blessing. I’m trying to keep my word to Dalton and Nad.

While I’m here in Boston, I thought I might as well drop by the local BDSM club and see one of my old friends, Theo Randall. He’s the Dom in Boston who has submissives lining up to train with him. It dawns on me that this could be kismet for Venom. Maybe I can convince Theo to come and do a demonstration on opening night for the training suite.

The last time I was here, I was quite impressed by the setup, but seeing it now, after creating Venom from the ground up, I get a kick out of seeing how superior Venom really is. I defy anyone to find a better kink club in the US.

“Flex Navarro. How the hell are you, man?” Theo greets me at the bar. “Have you been waiting long? Sorry. If I’d known, I would’ve finished my session earlier.”

It makes me chuckle as I look around the bar. There are couples fucking in every position you could imagine and some subs being led around on leashes. I do enjoy a good leash if the sub warrants it. Dalton would hate it in here. Naked submissives everywhere you look.

“Not a problem. There’s no shortage of entertainment to watch.”

He sits on the barstool next to me and signals for a drink. “It’s good to see you. What brings you to Boston?”

“Business.”

“You’re not going to try to buy my club, are you?”

I rest my hand on his shoulder. “Don’t worry, Theo, I’m not coming to franchise you… yet.” I’m half kidding. The location is great, and there are a million potential changes I can see as we speak. The space is big enough. I could definitely work with it.

“Never, man. I love this place.”

“When was the last time you were at Venom? A year? Eighteen months? You had a sub at the time because I remember you being all loyal and shit instead of joining in the fun.”

His smile drops for just a second, but it was long enough to know I must have hit a nerve. “That ended. She was worth keeping my dick in my pants for.”

“Jesus. That’s high praise from you.”

“I miss her. You might have met her by now. I gave her my Venom card.”

“Nice. What’s her name?”

“I don’t kiss and tell. Besides, if I give you her name, I know you’ll go straight back to New York and fuck her seven ways till Sunday. She’s way too good for you, man.”

“Thanks for the vote of confidence, bro. Say what you really mean.”

“Am I wrong?” he says before slinging back his drink.

“Probably not.” I burst out laughing. Have I become that predictable?

“How are things at Venom? I’ve been hearing good things.”

“Funny that you mention it. We’ve been expanding. Added a voyeur level and just about to launch our comprehensive training suite. Would you be interested in coming to the grand opening and doing a demonstration?” Theo is an excellent trainer, so I know it will go down a storm, no matter what he does.

“Anything in mind?”

“There’s a lot to choose from. Logan Fitzgerald will be doing the Shibari demonstration.”

“Good choice. He’s the best I’ve ever come across. He’s widely known, even in Europe.”

“What if I send you a list of what we’re going to have on offer, and you can get back to me?”

“Sounds good. I’ll definitely come down for the unveiling, either way.”

“Perfect.”

We shoot the shit for a couple of hours, catching up and reminiscing over old times. It’s nice to relax after an intense week. Now that I’ve stepped up security for my client here, I can feel the tension leave my shoulders.

“Do you want to play tonight? You can use my room, or…” he gestures around us, “… take your pick in here.”
