They looked gorgeous.
Hotter than the filling of a toasted jam sandwich, yet more dangerously streetwise than a bunch of alleycats.
I'd been to see them a dozen times: The Luscious Ladies toured extensively and every show of female domination was crazier and more intense than the last. They were always exceptional: two "slaves" - one male and one female - dressed only in red masks were led onto the stage, and then the five ladies performed all manner of perversions onto the lucky individuals, having them screaming for withheld mercy.
My favourite was Lady Heather: a blonde haired, latex loving bitch of perfection. She had stolen my heart and attention from the moment I first saw her lattice a screaming slave's rear into a bloodied mass of excruciating pain.
Then there was Lady Heidi: the diminutive German wearer of black leather and fishnets while furiously pegging a young man's arse as she cried triumphantly. Is there anything hotter than her reducing a six-foot bodybuilder to a blubbering wreck with her leather paddle, her nipple clamps and her eight-inch dildo strap-on?
I went to see all five of the girls work their magic and their malevolence, and longed to speak to them. I'd tell them how much I loved their work, how I'd bought all their merchandise and how I'd love to visit their dungeon. Two minutes was all I need, just 120 seconds. Alas, the adult venues that hosted their debauched shows didn't tend to encourage audience interaction, but I'd have done anything for their autographs on a Luscious Ladies branded leather paddle. I'd even brought it with me, desperate to have an opportunity for them to sign it.
I wanted to speak to them, and pondered ways of getting access. But alcohol always clouds judgement, and by the time the intermission had started I was feeling the foolhardy side of brave, and poor judgement reined supreme. I decided to knock on their dressing room door and ask them; surely they'd love to hear from a devoted fan?
Slipping past security was easy, finding the courage to knock was much harder; I could hear their sadistic laughter from behind the varnished wood, and listened intently, pressing my ear against the oak door.
It swung open slightly, barely making a sound as the five women drank bottled water and Lady Heather changed; she was even more gorgeous naked. I was spell-bound. Stopped in my tracks by her poise and her nakedness. The gorgeousness of her curves, sliding elegantly along her beautifully tanned body, snatched my attention; I forgot everything at that moment in time: my name, my address and even my reason for being there.
She was sheer perfection: an erection causer at a thousand paces and a delightful minx of sheer maleficent beauty. I adored her.
Which when she saw me, ogling her nudity and poise. Her glowing smile disappeared as her eyes locked on mine: staring and scowling on me. I was startled and shocked, blurting nonsense incoherently as I heard steps from behind me. My mouth motored as my brain panicked; I pleaded for their autograph as I held the paddle while the imposing boots thumped closer and closer.
The unfettered goddess stopped them with a wave of her hand as she crossed her arms over her bare breasts; they were obscenely perfect. Every part of her was, as she demanded an explanation.
I was talking to Lady Heather. My mind could not believe that she was speaking to me, as my stomach whirled itself into a knot and my feet shifted nervously. "This is our private time," she explained calmly; her voice never boomed loudly, but she made me feel a few inches tall as her companions and herself glared angrily at the anxious pervert. "And you've come to peep."
"Peeping Tom, string his fucking balls up," Lady Heidi barked.
"No respect for us."
"I do have respect," I cried, glancing over my shoulder at three burly security men who were waiting to tear my flesh from my bones in front of five women who wanted them to. "I think you are all amazingly wonderful and I'm so sorry, but I just wanted to get your autographs as I've been to twelve of your shows and you are just the most incredible people and I dream so much of you and I'm ..." I trialled off, as Lady Heather's outstretched finger touched the top of her lip, to demand silence.
"You have a domme?" She enquired, waiting for me to mumble. My ex-girlfriend and I used to play, but Lady Heather's smile broadened as she asked for a red hood. "Maybe if you are such a fan of the show then we could find a part for you." She licked her lips, carefully, slowly and with a menacing grimace.
I recognised that look. I had seen the glint in her eye dozens of times, as she planned the torment she was about to inflict. She sized me up, just like she sized up her victims on stage before launching a tidal wave of pain through them with devastating slashes of her weapon.
It sent a chill through my body.
But I was ushered into a tiny adjacent room containing two naked people and had a red hood thrown at me. "Get naked," Lady Heidi demanded. "We are going to beat into you some respect."
I gulped: suddenly very scared and aware of my surroundings. "All I wanted was an autograph," I muttered to the two "slaves"; they were younger than me, and shrugged, watching as I turned away to disrobe.
What had I let myself in for? My BDSM play was limited in the extreme, and Luscious Ladies fuelled my fantasies not relived my experiences. If they did a tenth of what the two people with the reddened skin and bloodied bottoms next to me received then I would be screaming for release in no time.
But arousal and excitement is powerful and it rode roughshod over any sound judgement I had. I was out of my depth, but it was the world I had dreamt of joining for years. I wanted it. And unlike the boys who dream of playing Premiership football, I was about to line up at my Old Trafford, only it wasn't a devil with the trident, but five evil sadists.
A bang of the door was accompanied by some yells, as I slipped the red hood over my head. I felt hands lace it for me and muttered thanks as I stumbled forward into the bright light.
The ladies looked incredible, yet again. The latex of Lady Heather, the fishnets of Lady Heidi, the minimalist armour of Lady Georgina, the red leather of Lady Pauline and the long dark cloak of Lady Jasmine. They looked scary, divine and had my loins a-trembling.
I loved them; at that moment, I loved every inch of them. Looking up into their imposing frames, my insides quivered and my heart pounded.
Walking barefoot to the stage was intense; not a word was spoken and the atmosphere was foreboding. I was about to step towards my destiny and I knew everything and nothing what it contained. I could see the range of equipment on stage and froze as we approached the wings.
I felt my right hand taken from my side and Lady Heather clipped a small button onto the end of my index finger. "Press that and we'll feel it," she whispered. "We may slow down, we may not." I gulped as she glanced at the stage; her companions were striding onto it, shoving their slaves in front of them. "Any limits we should know about?"
I spluttered, looking into her emerald eyes of evil, strangely reassuring me. "Don't ... know."
