Chapter 5 welcoming the new couple to The Facility
It is no surprise that several like minded professionals in the area got together and purchased a fitness building that was being moved to a new location so the property became available. The major tragedy in the United States is the failing of most retail stores and the vacant structures left behind in the old shopping malls and strip malls without tenants. Most of which took a domino effect of one closing right after another and began to look almost like a post apocalyptic movie set. This leaves the landlords with a desire to lower rent just to keep some cash flowing in which allowed the creation of The Sanctum. The idea was for like minded adults to explore their sexuality in a judgement free environment for hedonist. The group of owners saw a vision of mixing the Playboy mansion and the Kink armory. It began at first as a gym like a cross fit, MMA workout routine with a spa and pool area. Various exercise machines were added and it grew from that point. Then further renovations of restaurants, clothing stores, sporting goods shops, and event beauty and tanning salons into what exists now.
I met Susanne and matt at the diner across the street from The Sanctum and watched people going in and out. I asked matt how he and Susanne slept after getting home. For them sleep really did not happen because Susanne was super horny when they got home and matt's cock strained against the chastity device so he ate her pussy for almost a hour without release. I explained to him he better get accustomed to that because that is the only way to earn her approval for release and neither Mistress Kathryn or myself will allow him to cum until he truly understands her needs come first.
The people were mostly fit individuals with a few exceptions after all exercise is a journey not a destination. Everyone definitely was looking like they were going to the gym for their exercise the ones that planned to be present for a while parked in back in the parking garage. Most arrived in workout clothes others with clothes from work and a gym bag and carried yoga mats, towels or other items for exercise. On the outside the complex looked just like a normal renovated strip mall. What was underneath was far more complex. The owners wanted a place of sane, creative and safe environment for people to share ideas. I was explaining to Susanne and matt that The Sanctum has only a few rules and they would be discussed again at orientation in a few hours, but to allow for the repetition to sink in I explained it to them so by the second time they should not forget.
1. ABSOLUTELY no one under the age of 18 years of age is permitted.
2. NEVER permanently harm, brand, scar, or damage any slave or submissive.
3. No money for services is to be exchanged person to person by electronic transfer, cash, or any other medium EVER.
4. The safe word for everyone at the club is MERCY. If the safe word is used the activity will be stopped and will only recommenced after the person who used the safe word is comfortable to continue or not continue based on THEIR decision.
5. Use and/or distribution of Illegal or wrongful use of prescribed drugs will NEVER be tolerated.
6. No recording devices of any kind are allowed other than the permanently installed devices for safety and security purposes.
7. RESPECT each others boundaries and limits and ask to take part in other peoples play space.
8. All laws of the surrounding governing body still apply. (Theft, assault, rape, property damage, etc.)
9. Firearms are either left in a locked bin at the front desk or left in the persons vehicle. (Some members understand the need for security so armed security is provided by members who are local off-duty police officers or veteran military members.)
10. REMEMBER this is a place for people to safely come together so keep it safe. Do not stalk, harass, or threaten anyone. If any doubt exists bring it to the attention of security personnel.
As new patrons to this facility they are usually given opportunities of forgiveness. Upon entering a waiver is given to each member at orientation with the understanding that in this club that certain rights are signed away and that the purpose is for sexual exploration and sharing of ideas within a set boundary. Any serious rule violation is sent to the Council for judgement. The Council consist of 5 people who are elected by members of the club every 2 years and are assigned to pass judgment on any serious infraction or enough small infractions that warrant a discipline review. Discipline can range from a simple caning in front of the membership to a sentence of incarceration. Incarceration is in every way a BDSM jail which is located in the basement and is very rigorous and is designed to break the individual no matter their threshold.
I remind them it is a very exclusive club and membership requires an active member to arrange a 2 month trial membership and at the end of each month the Council meet to decide by 3 of 5 majority if the new applicants are to finish the trial membership and be denied full membership or be allowed to stay and start paying membership dues. The Council take inputs based on the information of the other members and staff of the facility.
We all finished our late breakfast and walked across the parking lot to the main entrance. The reception desk was the usual half circle design that was about 4 feet high behind it was a message board with activities listed and times. As we entered the main reception the petite red head behind the counter looked like what one would expect at any other fitness club. She wore the basic clothing; black spandex shorts, athletic shoes, hair in a pony tail, wearing a violet polyester breathable polo shirt. The club emblem of Adam and Eve outlines holding hands with the title of Elysium written over the figures and rested on her left breast. Next to her was a large muscular dark skinned man, with a clean shave, short cropped hair wearing the exact same shirt as the woman sitting behind the desk. He looked up at us, looked us over, and went back to watching the video monitor very intently.
She greeted us with a smile. "Good morning are you all members here?"
I remove the silver dog tag from my pocket and present it to her. "I am and these two are guest and will be heading to orientation."
She scans the bar code on the tag and says, "Okay I have these two guest passes make sure you wear them at all times. The orientation will be in room 101 do you remember where that is?" She hands me two lanyards with the word "GUEST" on the badge.
