30 year old Charlie layed restless in the bed of his apartment. He could not take his eyes off of the email he had just received. A notice from one of his favorite BDSM news sites stating that Mr.Gray was going to be re-opening his kink factory for 4 lucky guests for the first time in 20 years for a special tour. Charlie had heard many tales about this place from others in the kink community. That the stuff that took place there was beyond the real of possibility. Magic. He had always wanted to see for himself. The end of the email stated that 4 tickets would be sent through the mail. Charlie turned his phone screen off Trying to get some actual sleep and calm down his hopes and excitement.
Charlie woke up and turned on the news and much to his dismay had seen that 3 people had already won.
First was a man from Georgia. A middle aged heavy set bear type guy named Adam. He bragged about being the first to receive one. He stated in the interview that he was more curious to see what was so special about Mr.Gray. he was a Dom himself.
"I don't really buy into the magic mumbo jumbo you hear about that place. If anything I'm going just to entertain myself and get a good laugh" he told the man interviewing him.
Next was Willy from Los Angeles. He was 28. Purple haired twink. Lots of energy and excitement. He was discovered as the winner after taking selfies to boast on twitter to his followers. He seemed to be an influencer of some sort.
"I can't wait to share this journey with all of my fans" he said to the reporter as he blew a kiss at the camera.
The 3rd was Victor. A handsome 21 year old preppy boy from Washington. Charlie thought he came off as very snobby and spoiled.
"I don't get into any weird kink stuff...I'm actually normal. I just wanted to be able to say I got to experience something that others may not get to see. Ill admit, my family is pretty well off so I've gotten to experience so many great things at a young age. This sounded different so I thought why not"
Charlie felt down having not received anything yet. He went to check his mail the next morning and low and behold...the ticket/invitation was there. Charlie contacted the news and did his interview.
"I've heard so many great things about Mr.Gray I can't wait to meet him! I feel really lucky and grateful for this opportunity" he told the reporter.
That night in bed Charlie heard noise in his apartment. He saw his window was open. It all happened so fast. He saw a figure dart towards the window and climb out. Charlie turned on his light and looked at the top of his dresser to see the ticket was gone. The man had stolen it. He threw on some shorts and ran outside trying to catch up with him. Charlie used to run track and was still pretty in shape and was able to catch up. He grabbed the man. The man spun around and punched Charlie in the gut, knocking the wind out of him. Charlie fell to the ground looking up at the young man smiling down at him. "
That's too bad isn't it" the man said cockily. "Don't follow me. Just accept it for what it is" he said before spitting on Charlie and running off laughing.
Charlie was embarrassed, angry, and sad. He did a walk of shame back to his apartment. Their was no way to prove the ticket did not belong to the man who had taken it from him as he had already discarded the envelope.
Charlie saw the young man giving an interview on tv. His name was Trevor. 25 year old punk looking guy.
"It was so crazy man. I opened up my mailbox and the ticket was there. I'm SO grateful. I had thought they were only giving away 4 of these" he said, almost mockingly...
Charlie was making himself a coffee when his doorbell rang. A good looking guy was there. He was a clean cut guy, had the look of a salesman. Charlie was already annoyed and didn't want to be sold anything.
"Hey I'm Nick, I am the assistant of Mr.Grey".
Charlie looked shocked and confused.
"I was sent here because Mr.Grey wanted to personally invite you to his factory after hearing what had happened" The man said with a smile. "Will you accept this invite? He only planned for 4 people but wanted to make a special exception".
"Of course!" Charlie said.
"Great! we will see you this Friday. Nice to meet you Charlie" Nick nodded his head and walked back to his car.
Charlie could not believe it...A personal invite to the factory.
The Gravity Machine
Friday came and Charlie got dressed in a simple jeans and T-shirt. He drive to the factory which was isolated in the middle of nowhere. He saw the other 4 were already there. Trevor looked completely stunned to see him. He smiled embarrassingly and put his head down as Charlie approached them all.
"I thought their were only supposed to be 4 of us?" Victor asked.
"It looks like someone's sob story worked" Adam replied.
Charlie just laughed unsure if he was just joking around. He didn't know if he should confront Trevor but opted not too, not really being the type to like confrontation. Willy was streaming for his viewers on his phone....holding it to the door waiting for Mr.Grey to come out.
The door opened and a handsome older man came out. Mr.Gray was mid-fifties but could pass for younger. Very much a silver fox.
"Nice to meet you all he said smoothly, before you come in I ask that you not record or take pictures. I have staff that work here who are discreet".
Willy groaned and put his phone away. They all walked into a giant room full of bdsm type equipment. Lots of men in blue latex, work gloves and face shields building different equipment on the floor.
"This is our tech room, we create all types of bondage restraints, toys, ect. You guys are free to walk around and look at everything. Please don't touch any of the equipment that is marked "Do not use" as we are still testing and working on them".
Charlie roamed around looking at the different equipment. Stretching racks, bondage chairs, Vacbeds, and vaccubes. The group came across 2 of the tech guys working on what looked like just a giant slab of metal.
"What is this supposed to be?" Adam asked.
The techs were taken by surprise and turned to him to happily explain.
"This is the gravity machine, When you lay down on it someone can control the dial to make the gravity more or less strong" He pointed at a dial at the very bottom of the metal square. "The other dial next to it is to control sensitivity, We can make the person laying upon the gravity machine more or less sensitive to touch. Too just slightly ticklish to its more strong setting where just a poke would make the person shiver".
"Impossible" Adam said as he dismissed the explanation. "Let me try for myself and see if this is for real".
The two techs looked at each other unsure of how to respond and then at Mr.Grey.
