"XX-Hotel is one of the most prestigious hotels on the outside, supported by all kinds of celebrities and rich people. It is because of its ’hidden’ side that fills these people with thrill."
Damian seed to be beating around the bush, and I had a hard ti following what he wanted to tell .
There could be a lot of ’hidden sides’ he was talking about, and I had no idea what he ant.
Seeing my expression, Damian sighed and decided to just tell outright what he ant.
"The place that makes XX-Hotel special is its mber-exclusive S&M club. Hey, are you alright? Do you want to head back now? I had a feeling this would be too much for you."
His concern sounded genuine, but there was tension beneath it.
I choked on the water I was drinking as soon as I heard Damian speak about an S&M club.
’T-That’s where we are headed right now? I... did not expect that twist...’
Damian’s hands rubbed my back to help stabilize, and I felt grateful for his help. His touch was helping calm down a lot.
"I-I am fine. That just took by surprise. I did not expect us to head to a... S&M club. They are operating it in the open?"
Wasn’t that a risky move? The public would love to tear the XX-Hotel apart if they ever caught wind of this. I won’t kink-sha anyone for their choices, but it was certainly not sothing people needed to be caught up in.
"Well, I won’t say that they are operating in the open, since there are... restrictions on who can beco a mber. But that is not a problem for . But I did not want to drag you in here with either..."
Damian muttered as he looked at . His hands paused as they rubbed my back and instead lingered there for a few seconds.
"So, you wanted to co here with soone else to investigate?"
I asked, and Damian suddenly looked aside before he nodded.
"N-Not really. I was thinking of coming here alone to investigate. But I would admit that having a partner does make things easier for as well..."
//His honesty surprised .//
My mood suddenly felt sour. An S&M club was simply not a place anyone could enter and sit alone. Especially soone like Damian.I could always imagine people throwing themselves at Damian to try and gain his attention. And that did not sit right with .
"Damian, since we are here already, do you want to go in as partners? That would make things easier for both of us, right? People won’t approach us, and we would be able to investigate things easier."
As soon as those words were out of my mouth, I wanted to smack myself. Just what nonsense was I sprouting here?
Going in... as partners? Sure, we had fooled around a bit, but this was a lot more intimate. Besides, I had never played with myself, never mind S&M play.
Would I even be able to do anything if Damian asked to? Was he even into such play in the first place?
’I... definitely overstepped here. I should tell Damian I was joking and take my words back...’
//Regret crept in too late.//
I opened my mouth to tell Damian exactly that. But he spoke up before I could even get a word out.
"That... is not a bad idea. Taking you in as my partner would make things a lot easier for , and I won’t have to risk losing my reputation over any affair news. It will... also protect from the other situations that could occur. As long as you are willing to help out, I see no reason not to accept this arrangent."
Damian’s eyes looked... a little scary when he told this. His hands also slipped slowly away from behind my back and toward my waist.
I could not help but feel like I was caught by a predator, and I had not even realized this yet.
’G-Get your head back in the ga, Jenna. You are the one who asked for this, rember? It is your idea. You need to take responsibility and not chicken out.’
I reminded myself before I turned to look at Damian and passed him a smile.
It took effort to keep my composure.
"I am glad that I can help you out. But... what exactly do I need to do? I can’t say that I have much experience with these things..."
Maybe it was my hallucination, but I swore that Damian’s smile went a little bit wider at my admission before he turned around and pulled sothing out from the side of the car.
"Don’t worry about it. I know what we need to do. You... just need to follow my lead for now, and everything will be fine."
Damian told , but I had a sudden feeling that I... should be afraid of him and his intentions. Especially once I spotted the collar in his hands.
’Why do you have a collar? And in your car like this? Just... what were you expecting to do...?’
I could not tell if I felt scared or annoyed by this. The thought of Damian collaring soone else and behaving intimately with them did not sit well with .
It made my insides burn with jealousy, and before I knew it, I had extended my neck forward for Damian to lock the collar around .
His hands closed around my neck, and I felt the pressure of his hands blocking my airflow for a few seconds. The pain made jolt, and breathing beca harder. My eyes started to tear up as I panted.
But just as I started to feel light-headed, Damian pulled his hand back and fastened the collar around . It was neither too loose nor too tight for .
"Are you alright? There is no need for you to fear . Just... trust for the next few hours."
Damian told as I panted and ca back to my senses. Oxygen started to return to my lungs slowly, and I finally felt like I could think. When I reached out to touch my neck, the collar was already fastened around .
"So, does this collar make yours now?"
I could not help but ask Damian, and his eyes darkened imdiately at my question.
