Austin smiled. “I think that’s really cool.”
“Now, don’t get me wrong, I enjoy being tied up and other kinky things, but my submission revolves more around service than sex.”
Austin couldn’t be sure she fully understood it, but she did get the submissive mindset of wanting to make a Dom happy. She just preferred things that ended in orgasm.
“Master Garrett is going to let me prepare the suites and cabins on the weekends since I’m local. I’m excited. There are some really nice things we could do for the members to give them that extra special touch.”
Austin touched her shoulder. “Now that is a sweet idea, Isabelle. You really care about the community. I think you’re going to fit in well.”
“You’ve been here since the beginning, haven’t you?”
Austin nodded. “Just about but I got my start in kink while I was in college. A Dom I dated at the time took me to one of Hunter Novak’s parties in Vegas, and that’s where I met a lot of the people who founded Solitaire. Oops,” she said with a giggle. “I guess I should say, Master Hunter.” She shook her head. “Sometimes this is weird for me because I was friends with them before I became a house submissive.”
Isabelle laughed. “Oh girl, I know exactly what you mean. I was collared to a couple, but before that I was college roommates with the wife. It was so strange having protocols with her.”
“Oh wow,” Austin said with a grin. “I didn’t even know that was a thing.”
Austin giggled. “Just about everything is a thing in this lifestyle. I love it. So many diverse things to do and learn. And I learn so much about acceptance and diversity from this community that I wish could be passed on to society as a whole.”
That was certainly true. The kink community had its issues, but they could teach the world a thing or two about tolerance.
The rest of their shift flew by with the girls chatting between checking in guests. When they finished, Lance came for both of them.
“Isabelle, Master Garrett would like for you to spend some time with Simon behind the bar and learn a bit about drink service for the high protocol dinner next month.”
The girl’s eyes lit up. Austin had heard of the high protocol dinners, but they didn’t sound like her thing. Apparently, it was right up Isabelle’s alley.
“And you,” he said, turning to Austin, “should come with me so we can talk about the demo.”
“Yes, Master Lance,” Austin said as Olive came to sit behind the desk.
“Olive, I’ll be back later to check on you,” Lance told her.
Lance offered her his arm and Austin accepted. “Do you want an out on this demo?”
Austin shook her head. “I think I need it. I enjoy dungeon play, and if Patrick can’t lay with me like he normally would, I’ll take a demo for the members.”
Lance pulled his arm from hers and smacked her on the ass, hard. “What do you call him?”
Austin sighed and rubbed the soreness from her butt. ‘Master Patrick.”
Lance chuckled as he tucked her hand in the crook of his elbow again. “Much better.”
“I don’t fully understand the insistence on that protocol,” she said as they walked through the bar.
Lance was quiet for a minute but eventually said, “House submissives are here to be examples of a submissive. Obviously, there is no one way to train a sub, but we picked a few very common protocols to enforce for all of you so members who might be curious about submission or having a submissive could have something to see. That’s also why we tailor the program to the submissive so that members can see the uniqueness that each D/s relationship can have. We want to model consent, respect, and ways to build a good foundation.”
Austin smiled. “Thank you for explaining it to me. I just thought you were all a bunch of egomaniacs who enjoyed bending subs to your wills.”
“Trying to goad me into spanking you harder during the demo?”
Austin’s heart thudded into her throat. “Shit, you’re spanking me too?”
Lance grinned as he tugged open the dungeon doors. “Master Patrick and I are going to take turns.”
“Turns?” she squeaked. “As in multiple turns?”
Lance nodded. “Yep and the more snark you give us, the more turns we might take.”
