Pain and Worship

Henry twisted his neck back and forth, trying to get some relief from the tightness of his collar and tie. Usually, he enjoyed cocktail parties, getting dressed up, mingling and carousing, but that evening he just wanted to be home in bed. It had been a horrible day,...

Name Tag

The key, Kelly found, was forgetting about the little red “G” on her nametag. Forget about the negotiation and the conversation and all of the agreements and safewords and so on. Walk into the party with a blank mind. Be in the moment and be at the party. Pretend the...

Only a Doll

We always want what we can't have.  Sophia came to the Order’s Dollhouse for very specific things; to be undressed, made up, and re-created as a doll.  She would arrive in a whirlwind of messy hair, jeans, and ill fitting blouses and in an hour’s time she...

The Lead

It was 10:15 am and from the corner of my eye I saw Sophie check her phone again. Same little smile, same red in her cheeks, as her face was illuminated by the faint blue glow for the fifth time that morning.  “I’ll be right back, Lily,” she said without looking...

The Mark

Sometimes Dee liked to fuck men she didn’t find attractive. If she was at a party and there was that one guy who talked a little too loud or made jokes that were a little too rude or perhaps just wore an ugly suit, she couldn’t think of anything but sucking their...

The Card Game

It was Saturday night at the club under the Library. It was a Members Only night. Audrey had been a member for a year, and she finally felt like she understood things. As she walked through the crowd, she was starting to see that there were actually two parties going...

The Gilded Library

Mona checked her phone for the seventh time.  Unlike the orderly numbered streets and avenues of midtown Manhattan, the wilds of Downtown Brooklyn quickly descended into a chaos of randomly named roads and dead ends, with the bookstore she sought nowhere in...
