Chapter Four: Decoration
--------------------------------
It was only about 2pm when Riley arrived at the dining room for a late lunch. Chef was waiting and brought out the Caesar salad, pasta and fresh fry she'd selected earlier with Farah.
She spent lunch scrolling on her phone then lounged for a while on the veranda. She had about 45 minutes before her spa treatment and enjoyed relaxing with the cocktail chef had brought out to her.
She'd told her friends and family that her business trip had been extended to help her work on a special project for the company. A couple of her friends asked why she wasn't updating her socials, but she just told them she was taking a break.
Work had left her alone entirely. She wasn't sure how involved they really were in her situation and didn't want to ask.
As she relaxed, looking out absently at the well manicured gardens, one of the gardeners walked by. She'd only seen them around a few times. They mostly worked early in the mornings when it was coolest.
She started wondering how big his cock was. He wasn't very tall, but seemed muscular. He was carrying what looked to be a heavy bag of something-- She stopped herself. Why was she even thinking about him? A week ago, that thought would never have crossed her mind. And now, it was the first thing she thought about someone she'd just seen for the first time. Nothing about who he was or even his name. Just his cock size.
And here she was drinking as well. She didn't even know what it was, but could smell the faint whiff of alcohol. This place was having an effect on her.
Riley shuddered.

Her mysterious appointment was scheduled for 4pm. Riley went down to the spa a few minutes early and was happy to catch Addie at the little reception desk. The door to the therapy area was closed and Addie was idly scrolling her phone as Riley entered.
"You early. She still getting set up."
Riley say down in one of the three chairs in the waiting area. It seemed a bit officious for the villa. But, the place seemed to want to be kind of like a hotel.
"What is this appointment for?"
"She no tell you?" Addie shook her head. "Malik Basma want to get you some piercings."
"Piercings?"
"Yes. She want to 'decorate' you for the competition. No worry though--nothing crazy and everything can grow over. Nothing permanent. Like the henna."
Riley nodded slowly.
Just before 4pm, the hall door opened and a Goth looking young Japanese woman stepped out. She wore black jeans, a sleeveless rock band t-shirt and heavy black shoes. Her jet black hair was highlighted with blue and pink and she had a number of tattoos and piercings.
"Are you ready?"
"Yeah." She looked at Addie who stood up and the three of them walked across the hall to the doctor's office.
Riley was surprised they had access to this area, but the doctor's private office where the drugs were kept was secure.
The woman introduced herself as Hana and had Riley sit on the exam table. She'd laid out a few portable bags with several plastic boxes containing a range of piercings in them and had a small collection of tools on a white towel.
"Here's what I've been told to do. Basma gave me a list of piercings she wants you to have. You can say no to anything you don't want me to do. She told me to give you this note before I start." She handed a sealed envelope to Riley.
She was surprised and curious. She opened the envelope and read the handwritten note inside--
"R--
Let me decorate you? If you do, you'll be richly rewarded! If you must say no to something, there may be consequences when I see you tomorrow.
❤️ MB"
Riley shuddered. It was a coded way of saying do it or else. It also sounded like another payment was being dangled in front of her.
She looked up, but neither woman tried to read the note or ask what it said.
"I leave you here. Come get me if you need me. I be just across the hall in the spa."
"Thanks, Addie."
She smiled, then left her alone with Hana.
"What do you have...uh...on your list?"
"We'll start with the easy stuff. I'll only do what you're ok with."
