Walking down the hallway with one step at a step,a young lady headed towards a room.
She was scantily dressed. Her head was tilted upwards,with an air of confidence surrounding her. After walking for a while,she stopped in front of a door. Raising her head a little,she looked at the name plate,
003, Bondage avenue.
Taking a deep breath,she sauntered into the room.
.....
She was Ria Andrews,a submissive at Luminous; a BDSM house. She was a very beautiful and yet slender lady.
A mesmerizing eyes that seemed to look deep into one's soul.
She was well known by the clients that frequented Luminous. She was an expert in the field...
But..
She was envied by other submissives. However,she didn't care about them one bit.
They could envy her all they wanted!
***********
"You are late." A manly voice sounded immediately she walked into the dark room.
She could hardly make out his figure...
She stood for a moment trying to adjust to the darkness.
There he was...
She slowly walked towards him. On the table adjacent the bed were different BDSM objects.
A rough night as usual...
She climbed on top of his body and with a sensual voice,asked him,
"How do you want it?" She pushed her hair back.
"Steamy and rough." With that he pushed her back.
She sighed inwardly...
A steamy night as usual...
==============
Hulton puffed out the smoke in his mouth,and it came out in circles. He watched the strip dance taking place at the corner of the BDSM house.
Buzz and music filled the air... He felt someone's presence at that moment.
"Are you done for today?"
Without turning to see who it was, he asked.
"Yeah." Ria plopped herself on the chair beside him.
She mixed different alcoholic drinks and downed it in one gulp.
"That was fast." He calmly continued.
"What can I say? I'm an expert,you know. However,I will take that as a compliment." Ria continued observing the rowdiness in front of them.
They were both silent for a while.
"Are you serious about quitting your job?" He turned to face her.
"I've always been serious. I've been working here for eight years,I want to go out and explore the world." She joked. "If there is nothing else,I will be heading home then." Ria clutched her purse and sauntered out of the house.
Hulton stared at her departing figure with a bland look on his face. No one could tell what he was thinking...
A submissive walked over to him at that moment,
"Master Hulton, a client wants to see you. She's waiting at the submissive hall." She said in a sensual voice.
"Tell her I'm busy. Find another Master instead." He said nonchalantly.
He wasn't in the mood to do anything.
By the way,it was already 3:00am in the morning. He wanted to get some rest.
"Noted,Master Hulton." She turned and left.
==============
Ria unlocked the door to the condominium and tiredly walked inside. She flung her bag carelessly on the couch and locked her door.
"Hah... I feel sore all over. That old jerk." She cursed loudly.
"Okay.. Food,a cold shower,then a short sleep." She ticked off what she had to do at the tip of her fingers.
She only had few hours to rest before dawn. She had some things to sort out in the morning... She had to rest...
She dragged her body to her bedroom. She turned on the lights and undressed. Grabbing a robe,she wore it and headed to the kitchen.
Food... There was no way she was going to sleep without eating...
In less than thirty minutes,a plate of pancakes was ready. She took it to the living room and comfortably sat down on the couch.
Her stomach rumbled embarrassingly.
"Shut up, can't you see I want to feed you?" She dug into the pancakes and closed her eyes savoring it's sweetness.
It was at that moment she realized how truly hungry she was...
She soon devoured everything and dragging her weak limbs back to the kitchen,she deposited the dirty dish in the sink.
'I'll wash it tomorrow.'
With that,she turned off the lights and headed to her bedroom.
.......
While scrubbing her body,her mind wandered to Hulton's words and the expression on his face earlier on.
Was he concerned about her?
'Of course not. I'm just a submissive after all.' She chuckled.
Master Hulton was a popular dominant at Luminous. He had that rugged and handsome face which was alluring to the clients who frequented the place.
He was her dominant in fact...
But she had to leave... She had plans...
Her parents were already dead,she was a young billionaire...
Many properties were willed to her.
In fact,she could stop working for years to come without getting worried about money at all.
She wanted to fulfill her dream...
Her dream??...
Becoming an adventurist. She had always nursed the dream even while she was a child...
Staying back at Luminous might hinder her from achieving what she wanted...
She got out of the bathroom in a light-hearted mood. She could pay whatever money was required of her. But, she had to leave Luminous...
She turned off the bedside lamp and lay on the bed. She was completely naked beneath the sheets.
Ria had the weird habit of going to bed naked. She claimed sleeping with clothes on was a nuisance.
'Ring... ringggg' She jumped up and grabbed her phone almost panicking.
Who the fuck was calling her at this ungodly hour?
Glancing at the caller ID,she picked up the phone and yelled,
"Are you out of your fucking minddd??!!!!! Why are you calling me by this time?!" She was already drifting off when the call came through.
The person at the other end of the line chuckled and apologized.
"Why are you calling me Sam?" She placed the call on loud speaker,and lay down on the bed.
"Wanted to know if you were at home or not." A feminine voice said laughing.
"Really? Well congratulations, you just distracted my sleep." Ria groaned in annoyance.
"You can always go back to sle..." She was still speaking when Ria directly hung up.
She was disturbing her beauty sleep...
'Damn you Sam.'
As her car drove in through the gate,the guards bowed respectfully.
Ria sat calmly on her seat till the car parked at the garage. The driver hurriedly got out and opened the car door. She calmly got out.
The lawyer was waiting for her at the living room when she walked in.
"I'm sorry I kept you waiting." She apologized as she walked into the mansion.
Lawyer Reece sneered inwardly but maintained a calm expression.
"It's fine Miss Ria." He responded.
"Is that why you are calmly and comfortably seated while I'm talking to you? It seems you are looking down on me,Mr Reece." Ria was still smiling but she had a sharp look in her eyes.
Reece remained unfazed,
"What is wrong if I sit down and talk to you? You are just a prostitute,you don't even know how to talk to your elders at all." He sneered.
Her father Leonard Andrews had always been at odds with his daughter due to where she worked. He even threatened to disown her,but Ria hadn't been bothered at all.
Reece continued glaring at her.
"Really?? My bad then..." She calmly walked over to the sofa and sat down. Crossing her legs,she cleared her throat and with a bright smile asked him,
"Tea or coffee,Mr Reece?"
"Nothing.. I'm fine. Why did you invite me over? We have already finalized everything,right?" He questioned impatiently. He wanted to leave.
He couldn't stand her presence any longer, she was just a slut...
"Exactly... You seemed to have forgotten that..." Ria smiled again.
Reece raised his gaze to meet with hers. What was she trying to insinuate?
"I don't understand.. I don't have much free time as you do,Miss Ria." He said irritatedly.
"Of course you don't... Well, like you said,let me just get straight to the point. Mr Reece,you are fired." At that moment,a maid served her a cup of tea.
"Thank you." She nodded at the maid.
"What nonsense are you saying?!" Reece rose to his full heights and thundered furiously.
"Exactly what you heard,Mr Reece." She smiled again. But as she rose,her face closed up and the smile disappeared from her face.
She walked straight to his front and without warning,she landed three hot consecutive slaps on his face.
"I must admire your courage,Mr Reece. The slaps were for calling me a prostitute by the way. It seems you have forgotten that I'm officially your employer,and you are required to give me the full rights I deserve." She spat heatedly.
Lawyer Reece was in a state of disbelief; did she actually slap him?
He raised his hands to retaliate when she calmly folded her hands and said,
"Seems you are quite eager to defend yourself in court right? Go ahead then." A look of mockery appeared on her face.
His hands froze in the air.
"You are crossing your limits,Miss Ria." Lawyer Reece fumed.
"I'm I? I don't think so,Mr Reece. I have the right to choose who gets to be the family lawyer or not. This is your compensation cheque. You may leave." Ria sat back on the couch.
In fact,she felt she was being lenient towards him?
What rights did he have to call her a prostitute?
Lawyer Reece walked out of the mansion,head bent low.
He had been embarrassed by someone younger than him!
He was going to pay back... Soon...
......
Immediately he left,she whipped out her phone and dialed a number.
"I'm at the mansion,you may come over. Don't overdress... hahahaha." She hung up.
Thirty minutes later,the door to the living room flung open.
"Hey girlie... I've missed you so bad... Sob..." Sam clutched her chest and cried dramatically.
"Stop it.. It sounds creepy coming from you." Ria said in a dull tone. She was lying lazily on the couch flipping through her phone.
"Shut up,I feel bad,no hurt in fact." Sam sat on a sofa opposite Ria's.
"I'm leaving Luminous soon." Ria announced.
"What?! Why? You always wanted to work there in the past. No,what prompted your decision?" Sam fired her with questions as she adjusted her position on the sofa.
"A question at a time,miss." Ria chuckled helplessly.
"Whatever... Answer my questions." Sam folded her arms with an indignant look on her face.
"Wipe that look off,you look ugly." Ria chuckled.
Sam said nothing,she pouted her lips as she waited for her friend's response.
Ria cleared her throat and sat up straight on the couch.
"To answer your question, 'why?' Cause I want to pursue my dream. What prompted my decision? Remember I wanted to become an adventurist? I've decided to quit my job." Ria watched as complex emotions crossed her friend's face.
"Hahaha... What's with that look on your face? It seems you are more saddened by the fact that I'm leaving Luminous,than I am." Ria laughed.
"If it were any other average person,I would have scoffed at the person. But,you are a young billionaire through and through." Sam smiled.
Sam was the owner of a famous boutique in City A. Influential clients and popular celebrities were her customers...
So, both friends were quite rich...
"I fired our family lawyer today." Ria said.
"Thank God..." Sam chuckled.
"For what?" Ria was amused.
"Because I don't like him... He's too arrogant and full of himself..." Sam scoffed.
"Good for him." Ria shrugged.
"But... Won't your decision affect the activities at Luminous?" Sam was curious.
"Affect? Do you think Luminous is a small BDSM house?" Ria laughed.
"No,not that... You have a lot of influence over the activities there, aren't you aware of that?"
"Sam... Life at Luminous will go on with or without me. Even if I quit,it wouldn't have any effect at all..." She clasped her hands and placed it on her knees.
Sam shrugged; it wasn't as if she understood how it worked,so why bother?
Luminous had a strict rule which includes keeping the secrets of the house... No confidential information were to be taken outside the club house. The customers always wore masks and didn't reveal their faces...
Everything was kept confidential..
"So, soon we would be flying across the world; going on expeditions. What do you say?" Ria looked at her expectantly.
"Is that even a question? Of course I'm in..." Sam could feel the adrenaline rush surging through her veins....
CHAPTER THREE: AN EXPEDITION
It's been few years now since Ria officially left Luminous.
She had been quite happy, going on expeditions and living life to it's fullest.
"Hey girlie.. What are we having for breakfast?" Sam turned and grumbled beside her.
They were both on bed. Sam had permanently moved in with her at her mansion.
"Whatever you prepare, I'm fine with it." Ria smiled.
"Are you out of your fucking minddd?!!" Sam yelled.
"Hey, calm down. I only told you to make your choice." Ria stifled a laugh.
"Don't cook then. I will order takeout for myself." Sam lay back on the bed and closed her eyes.
"I will fix something for both of us then." Ria stood up and headed towards the door.
"Don't you dare!!" Sam ran over and blocked her way.
"Move... Aren't you hungry?" Ria folded her arms and smirked.
"Don't worry, I will order takeout for both of us." Sam dragged her back to the bed.
They were both bad cooks; terrible ones in fact.
The only dish they were confident in cooking was; nothing. They couldn't cook at all...
"Alright, alright... Let me go. I wanna take my bath." Ria got up and waltzed into the bathroom.
"Make sure you include soda in your order. We are out of stock." Ria added and humming a tune, she closed the door to the bathroom.
"Whatever... Aren't we going to the trip anymore?!" Sam yelled loudly enough to damage one's eardrum.
"Are you talking to me, or to the whole nation?!" Ria yelled back, though not as loudly as Sam did.
"Shut up and answer my question." Sam said.
"I will shut up then." The sound of the shower drowned her voice.
"Answer me, before I cancel the order." Sam threatened.
"Was that a threat?" Ria chuckled.
"Whatever you see it as..." Sam shrugged even though Ria wasn't there to see her.
At that moment, Sam's phone rang.
'Ring... ringggg.'
"Just a minute, I will be back for you." Sam picked up the phone.
"Hello?"
She was smiling initially, but her expression changed when she heard what the caller was saying.
"Are you out of your fucking mind? I'm your girlfriend, how dare you talk to me in that manner?" Sam's chest heaved up and down in anger.
"Ohh? You want us to breakup right? Of course, if that's what you want, how can I deny you the pleasure of having one?"
She hung up and flung the phone on the bed.
"Jerk!!" She screamed.
Ria rushed out with a towel draped around her body. Water was dripping down her body from the bath she just had.
One glance at her friend's face, and she could roughly guess what happened.
"Reece?" She went to sit beside her friend and patted her shoulders sympathetically.
Sam nodded without a word. Although she had acted defiant over the phone, she was hurt.
How couldn't she be?
"That jerk... He wanted us to break up." Sam sobbed.
Ria held herself from cheering in excitement. This was good news...
In fact, it was the best news she had heard throughout the week.
"His reason?" She calmly asked. She had always been against the relationship between her friend and Reece.
Reece was a playboy; in fact, Sam had caught him a couple of times. However she didn't want to let him go.
Sam had been hopelessly in love.
"He said I had been neglecting him for sometime now... When have I ever done that?" Sam raised her teary eyes and fixed them on Ria's.
"You know I have always been against your relationship with Reece. He had never loved you right from the start, girlie."
Ria herself didn't believe in love. Love was nothing but a farce,to her.
She was a submissive... Perhaps, that was what twisted her view on love.
But seeing her friend like this, she believed she couldn't be more correct than she was...
They had been dating for some years now,and he ended things on this note?
What a jerk!
"Wait... Are you done bathing?" Sam suddenly questioned.
"Nope. I rushed out immediately you shouted." With a laugh, Ria got up and went back to the bathroom.
Ten minutes later, Sam yelled,
"Do you want to permanently live there young lady?! Get your fucking ass out of there?!"
"My ears are clogged, I can't hear you!" Ria yelled back.
She soon came out and headed to the walk in closet to get dressed.
Sam scowled at her and went into the bathroom...
≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠
A cave.
Both ladies stood outside the entrance of the cave taking several photos.
"One more time..." Sam stuck out her ass and assumed a posture.
"That's what you have been saying... Let's head inside." Ria groaned.
"Whatever... Such a killjoy." Both of them walked into the cave.
It was quite dark, but they were prepared for it as they had brought flashlights. They also brought sleeping bags, food, and swimming trunks.
Yeah, swimming trunks.
Ria had discovered there was a beautiful lake in the cave. In fact, that was why she chose it.
They soon got to an open space where the lake was and Sam mouthed a 'wow.'
"This is soo beautiful..." She opened her eyes wide.
"I know, right?" Ria chuckled.
Glittering crystals shimmered on the lake from the ceiling, creating a dazzling effect and beauty.
"Hurry, let's swim." Ria began unpacking their bags and brought out their swimming suits.
"Why don't we swim naked? After all, there is no one here." Sam suggested bright eyed.
Ria laughed at how enthusiastic she was.
She agreed and they were both naked in minutes.
They both plunged into the lake at the same time making the water splash.
Sam closed her eyes and savored the cooling sensation she was feeling at that moment.
"This is heavenly... I could live here." She breathed.
"We..."
"We could live here." Ria corrected.
All of a sudden, there was a rumbling sound from the ceiling.
'Grrrrr...rrrrrr.'
Both ladies were startled as they hurriedly jumped out of the water, and wore their clothes.
"What was that?!" Sam panicked as her eyes went wide like saucers.
"I don't know too." Ria tried to remain calm.
Both of them ran towards the entrance and gasped when they got there...
The entrance to the cave had closed in on them...
