Brie took a deep breath and let it out slowly. “So…without further ado, I present my latest work with much thanks to all of you.”
She bowed low before sitting down between Sir and Rytsar. Brie had chosen her seat placement purposely so she could observe everyone’s reactions while watching the film.
When Sir pressed the button on the remote and the lights dimmed, Brie held her breath as her film began.
The deep base of the dubstep she had chosen was meant to instantly grab the audience and suck them in. Looking at her friends’ reactions, she could see it was doing just that.
Brie found it interesting how her friends had paired up. She wasn’t surprised to see Tono, Lea, and Autumn sitting together because they were good friends.
She also wasn’t surprised that Captain, Candy, and Baron sat side by side. Although Captain and Candy had no part in the film, Brie had invited them for two reasons. She knew Baron would value their presence here tonight, but she had also done it for Mary and it warmed her heart to see Mary seated in between Captain and Candy.
Faelan and Kylie had chosen to sit a row back, but they still seemed comfortable to be in close proximity to Mary. Brie found that encouraging. The fact that Marquis and Celestia were sitting next to Faelan seemed only natural. The mutual admiration the two Doms had for each other was well known in the community.
Mistress Lou and Boa had paired up with Master Anderson and Shay. Although Shay was not part of the BDSM community, as far as Brie knew, she definitely seemed comfortable sitting next to the Asian Domme and her male sub.
In the farthest row, Ms. Clark had chosen to sit with the Gallants. Everyone in attendance knew that Rytsar had forgiven Ms. Clark, but Brie suspected it must still have been hard for Ms. Clark to come. Thankfully, Mr. Gallant and Ena were the perfect ambassadors, and Ms. Clark actually seemed relaxed as she sat there and watched.
Brie sighed in contentment, thrilled to have their house full of the people who had helped shape her into the woman she was. Each person had played a significant role in her life and had come here now to support her dreams. It gave her happy goosebumps.
With the film starting, Brie was finally able to shake off the nerves. She was proud of this film. This was exactly where she wanted to be, and what she wanted to be doing.
There was no reason to feel anything but excitement.
Sitting back in her chair, Brie watched as the movie opened up with Tono’s scene with Lea, leading with a voiceover as Tono explained the philosophy behind Kinbaku and the vision he had for his unique adaptation of the art.
A tear came to her eye as the haunting flute music filled the room. She watched the scene unfold, ending with Lea flying in the jute. It was that much more moving to Brie to know that Autumn had been present at that filming. Looking at the three of them sitting together, Brie was suddenly struck by the thought that they would make a really cute threesome.
The film continued moving from scene to scene, building in intensity as they watched Master Coen’s spanking session with raven and the sensual oral scene between Faelan and Mary.
Brie snuck glances at them, trying not to be obvious. She noticed Faelan and Kylie watching it with casual interest, while Mary kept shifting in her seat. It was definitely having an effect on her.
After that stimulating scene ended, Baron’s sultry voice rang out in a voiceover as he explained the purpose and correct use of punishment in the D/s dynamic. Brie enjoyed watching the sensual reenactment of her first sex-swing lesson with Baron and smiled at him when it was over.
With the audience warmed up, it was time for Ms. Clark’s session with her male and female sub. Watching the seductive manner in which she played out the scene with both subs was truly inspiring, reminding Brie of why Samantha had earned the devotion of so many through the years.
When Brie glanced at her, she was surprised to see Ms. Clark looking straight at her. The Domme nodded her head. Brie turned back to the film in shock. Ms. Clark liked her scene!
Sir put his hand on her knee and squeezed it, while Rytsar whispered in a low voice, “Powerful.”
Brie felt like her heart would burst with happiness.
Master Anderson’s bullwhip scene with Boa came next. Even though she had spent countless hours editing the piece, it was so provocative that it still had the power to make Brie wet.
She heard several soft gasps while the scene played out, letting her know that the others were being similarly affected. Something about watching Master Anderson’s undeniable skill with the bullwhip automatically evoked a response.
Rytsar grinned when he saw that his scene was next. “I remember it as if it were yesterday,” he murmured to her. No voiceover was needed with this part because Rytsar had done an excellent job of explaining the nature of his dominance over the sub as he scened. Brie could feel the girl’s genuine terror as she looked at the electric instrument he held, but it was clear that her need outweighed her fear, when the audience watched her willingly press her nipple against the instrument as she cried out in pain.
Her submission to Rytsar’s sadistic dominance was unique and fascinating to watch.
Brie smiled when Marquis Gray’s scene began. This was the one Holloway had cut from the film when they first met to talk about it. However, Brie felt it was one of the most powerful scenes in the entire film. The grace of Marquis’ movements as he wielded the eighty-tailed flogger was extraordinary to watch. But, what made the scene even more powerful was the connection Brie had with Marquis. That connection was tangible on the screen, and his voiceover describing the importance of trust was truly moving.
Brie had chosen to end the documentary with her interview with Mr. Gannon, which he had given when she’d visited his commune called the Sanctuary. While he shared his reasons for creating the commune, Brie peppered the scene with cutaway shots showcasing the natural beauty of the large estate and the diversity of people who lived there.
“I used all of my investments to build The Sanctuary in 2001. Our community lives off the grid, and each person is required to help maintain the estate to meet the needs of all of its members.
“The vetting process is quite lengthy to ensure everyone shares my vision and has skills that can be utilized by the community as a whole.
“We share everything together, including our kinks,” Gannon said, smiling at the camera. “You would be surprised by how satisfying sex can be when societal limitations are stripped away.”
