Nathan Jones was born in San Diego, California, in 1957. His father worked as a Coast Guard and his mother stayed at home to raise their two boys.
By the time Nathan was 12, he was parentless. His father died while on duty, as he attempted to rescue two young boys who had been out windsurfing during a ferocious storm. His mother died shortly thereafter from a broken heart. Nathan had no choice but to live with his ill-tempered uncle, in Cincinnati, Ohio, while his older brother went to live with his grandmother.
Nathan graduated from high school and decided to make the navy his career. He enlisted in United States Navy Academy and after graduation he slowly began ranks up the naval ladder.
By the time Nathan was 25, he was promoted to Second Officer. He married a woman who he had known for a very short time. He felt pressured into marriage because the Navy had expected all naval officers to have a wife by their side. Their marriage was not a happy one, and to add insult to injury, they could not produce children.
Nathan's wife was frustrated not only because she was unable to bore him a child but also because of Nathan's long absences from her. She eventually found solace in a local ne'er do well, and, as a result, became pregnant. She knew that it was hopeless to deny any involvement with her lover, to Nathan, and quickly filed for divorce.
While Nathan came to terms that he was most likely the reason they could not have children he still breathed a deep sigh of relief when he received the divorce documents and rapidly signed the necessary papers. Their marriage had lasted a total of three years.
One weekend while on shore leave in Vancouver, Washington, he had been invited by a fellow officer to attend a BDSM club. Nathan was not prepared for what he had witnessed in the club but he was without a doubt very much impressed by how others presented themselves. This was a different world and one he would explore with eagerness. Many club members were dressed in attire which was strictly enforced by the management. No street clothes of any kind with the exception of black suits or dresses. Latex and leather were highly encouraged.
As time went on, Nathan tried to find a club or munch in the area he was in, but was not always successful. He began to realize that his Dominant side reflected his career. He was a Master of his ship, and now could be a Master to any female he wished. But first he needed to settle down into a permanent location before he could even consider taking a submissive.
As Nathan's 38th birthday approached he grew tired of the constant travel. Through an old acquaintance from the navy, he was offered a position for the Detroit Paddlewheel Company. The only drawback was that it was landlocked and in Detroit, Michigan. Nathan accepted the position with some hesitance but soon he was on his way to begin a new life. He didn't realize he would soon begin a new adventure.
Nathan unpacked his personal belongings and strolled about his new ship. He smiled to himself, knowing that he had indeed made a sound decision. Detroit had many things to offer--nightlife, sports venues, recreational parks, and several BDSM clubs.
While he lay propped up in his bed, Nathan flipped through a local underground newspaper and read with interest about a club called Devil's Gate. The advertisement described an upcoming munch to be held on the Friday following. The theme for this night was "Cum Tethered in Leather". He chuckled to himself and thought about the floggers that would most likely redden the flesh of many willing submissives and slaves. Oh yes, he would definitely be there on Friday night.
Nathan chose a black suit and dark gray shirt as his attire for the club He was greeted with warm smiles and firm handshakes. The club manager, Tony, had introduced himself and, much to Nathan's delight discovered Tony too was an ex-naval officer. The rest of the evening was spent being introduced to other club members as well as witnessing public scenes between Dominants and their submissives. Nathan knew he would be a regular member over time.
Halloween Night at the Devil's Gate was one of the big events of the year. Members were expected to wear masks but not necessarily costumes. This festive evening was filled to capacity with revelers and Nathan couldn't help but admire the spectacular masks worn by the most patrons.
One female, who caught his eye, wore a black mask embellished with black sequins and silver chains. She introduced herself as Rhaeven and said she had been a member of Devil's Gate for five years. Her warm smile put Nathan at ease and soon they became inseparable.
Rhaeven was a little older than Nathan however he would have guessed her to be 33 not 39 as she told him. She was lithe, which attracted Nathan, because he could lift her easily and restrain her in any way he chose. He learned quickly and over time incorporated these skills for his own personal enjoyment.
Rhaeven introduced him to knife play, wax play, and the art of Japanese bondage. To show his appreciation for all that she had shown him, he collared her. Rhaeven was definitely far more experienced than Nathan was. Whenever they attended Devil's Gate together she would wear her collar with pride.
He bought Rhaeven many gifts during their relationship and she delighted in flaunting them whenever she could.
Six months later Nathan found out about Rhaeven's true character. Tony had revealed to Nathan that whenever Rhaeven attended the club alone her collar was absent. Nathan confronted Rhaeven and asked her to explain why. She flippantly replied that it made her neck sweat and it was "too uncomfortable."
He discovered later that Rhaeven had also serviced other Dominants, and many times became a Domme. It was at this point where Nathan understood her vast experience in teaching him about dominance.
Nathan became disenchanted with the lifestyle. Rhaeven's deception towards him made him feel this was the norm of a seemingly fantasy world. To him she was nothing more than a whore and slut, someone he did not want in his life or by his side. From that moment on, the constant barrage of accusations and scream fests became too much for Nathan. Nathan had also discovered that Rhaeven's real name was Jayne Doolittle and that she was in fact 30 years old. He wondered what else she had lied about.
He returned to Devil's Gate after he found out Tony had revoked Rhaeven's membership and banned her from returning to the club. For the next year Nathan only attended special functions. Eventually he stayed away.
Nathan spent the next four years devoting all his time and energy to his paddlewheel ship. He had built up his business by incorporating weekend getaways for passengers, who simply wanted to be pampered and enjoy the gentle cruise of the ship. He held special theme nights, and with the help of Tony's niece, promoted each event complete with costumes and décor. He was visibly upset when she told him she would be attending college, and she would be unable to assist with future ship board functions. Nathan knew it would be best to place an ad in the newspaper and hopefully find someone who could fill her shoes.
Tonight, that someone stepped from the bathroom and walked toward him. Kira looked bewitching in the black silk dress given to her by Nathan. She held out her hand and displayed the lovely silver collar, asking humbly, "Would you please place the collar, Sir?"
Nathan smiled moved behind and fastened the dainty clasp. She watched in the mirror as the metal shimmered and sparkled under the bedroom lights. She shivered when he leaned close to her ear and rasped, You look delicious tonight, little one. I look forward to introducing you to some of my friends at Devil's Gate."
Kira turned around to face him then brushed her lips over his until their kiss became urgent and passionate. Both of them had difficulty restraining themselves, however Kira broke their embrace and slipped into her feet into her fashionably black slides.
"Shall we go, little one?" he said.
Devil's Gate seemed foreboding on the outside, and the soft booming of music could be heard just outside the entrance. He held the door open for her and she stepped inside. Her eyes widened at the magnificence of the club's interior.
Crystal chandeliers hung elegantly from the ceilings, gold railings adorned each staircase, and the rich red carpeting in the foyer warmly welcome visitors and members.
They proceeded into the main social room and were quickly greeted by Tony.
"Nathan my good friend. It is wonderful and indeed a pleasure to see you again," as his eyes traveled slowly over Kira.
"Tony! It has been too long. I can see that you are very well," they shook hands.
Tony licked his lips and smiled, "I can also see that you are very well, my friend. Please introduce me to your guest."
Nathan introduced Kira to Tony, and as she was reaching to shake Tony's hand, Nathan playfully pinched her ass cheek. Tony smiled and held her hand a bit longer than needed. Reluctantly he released her hand and invited them both to mingle in the crowd and help themselves to refreshments.
Nathan whispered in her ear, "Did he excite you, pet?"
Kira purred, "Only you excite me, Sir."
Nathan smiled then led her towards the bar where he ordered wine for both of them. Kira fingered her silver collar knowing that it sparkled under the bright chandeliers.
As she sipped her wine, Kira was amazed at some of the outfits worn by other women. One woman wore a black latex dress where holes had been cut to expose her nipples and her ass. Nathan chuckled as he nudged Kira and remarked how the slave's ass should be reddened, thus completing her ensemble for tonight's theme of "Black and White and Red all over".
Kira took a bigger sip of her wine and laughed nervously, "Well, this red wine is making my nipples and clit harden, and I dare say they are most likely pink at this point."
He pulled her in front of him and began to stroke her ass cheeks with one hand, while he sipped his wine with the other. Kira took his lead and pretended to drop her drink napkin on the floor. Bending over seductively she slowly picked up the napkin while everyone watched. Nathan grinned at the crowd and lovingly spanked her right ass cheek, until she stood back up.
Kira put down her wine glass and whispered in his ear to announce she needed to use the Ladies room. She swung her hips and ass and gave Nathan a good view of what he owns then disappeared out of the social room.
As Kira sat on the toilet, she heard two women enter the Ladies Room. The two women began to speak.
"How have you been? I haven't seen you here for a long time," one woman said.
"I've been away, but I didn't want to miss tonight for the world," the other replied, then chuckled, "I wonder if Nathan still remembers the special piercing on my clit and nipples."
