At a sex-positive convention, Bella--an artist and secret heiress--sets up an exhibition modeled after her future BDSM hotel. As she navigates new partnerships, sells provocative art, and tests a billionaire playboy's ability to dominate, she discovers that pain, like art, is best when it's shared.
Who's Who
This is a story for the
Virtual Literotica Convention 2025 Author Challenge
(LIT CON 2025).
The idea is to take characters from other stories and let them travel to a convention on sex-positivity (LitCon), and meet each other. My story is about Rodrigo and Bella, with appearances by Cassie, Victoria, Marlowe, Tiafell, Hiraya and Freya.
Bella
is the heiress to a hotel dynasty. However, she rebelled against the rigid hotel life to live as a bohemian artist near Portland's dockside, She found a home in Portland's BDSM scene and her paintings explore her kinks. Recently she reconnected with her family and took over her father's old hotel
The Rosy
, intending to transform it into a BDSM resort under the new name
"Hotel Roissy"
. She is in her twenties. Her backstory is here:
Hotel Roissy Part 1
. This story happens between part 1 and 2 of the Hotel Roissy series.
Rodrigo
The epitome of the daddy type: calm, assured, very strong, protective. Very rich. Even if he did not have all that money, girls would still be all over him. Large, handsome man. Round face, light brown skin, curly hair cut short. Pencil beard running the jaw edge. Gym goer. Great dancer, club goer. Ladies' man, playboy. He appears in

Victoria and Marlowe

Tiafell
is an elf, highly androgynous and easily passes for a woman as he enjoys cross-dressing and acting like a woman, something that Rodrigo finds very attractive.

Preparation
It was the first hectic time after she had been given reign of the 'Hotel Rosy' with the intention of turning it into a BDSM resort.
To relax Bella scanned one of her favourite websites, Literotica.com for some interesting erotic stories to read. In the forum she came across an announcement:
Literotica Convention 2025
A weekend of talks about all facets of eroticism and a chance to live them out.
'This could be fun, and maybe I can find inspiration on how to design the Roissy.' she thought.
Then an idea struck her, 'what if I don't just go there as a visitor? I could take my paintings and exhibit them there. It's in Grand City, there should be many rich and perverted people there.'
The gears of her mind started rotating, 'maybe I can do even more? I could set up the exhibition like a makeshift dungeon like the special private BDSM-suites I am planning. Kind of a test, what do people like? It's in a few weeks time. Perfect!'
Decision was quick, but of course organizing took some time. She emailed back and forth with Freya Gersemi who had created the event. While doing so, another email popped up. It was from a guy called Rodrigo, and it was sent via her sales website where she displayed her paintings.
"I like your painting style and your works. I am considering to buy one of them."
She answered quickly because many asked her such questions in spite of the high prices she listed on the site.
"You can order them through the site, or you can look at them here in my studio in Portland."
"Too far, and your prices are too high to just order online. If you're asking the price of a luxury car, I expect a test drive at least."
"Unfortunately, I can't load my paintings onto a truck and drive around like a traveling salesman."
"Hey, here I'm really interested, but you must be a bit more accommodating."
She now googled his name, and oh, that man would indeed be able to afford her paintings. "Self-made billionaire, known for his lascivious lifestyle. Seen with many different beautiful women and sometimes also with young men... Renowned art collector."
The last words woke her up. She changed her tone And he lived in Grand City!
"Actually, I can bring all my paintings to you! I will have an exhibition in Grand City in June. Isn't that where you live?" She showed that she had done her homework now.
"Ok, when and where?"
"The exhibition will be June 6th - 8th in the Grand City Hotel during the Literotica Convention."
A few hours later he wrote, "What is this convention? It sounds like an intellectually idealized swinger-club to me."
"Could be. You will definitely find the atmosphere erotically charged there. And which paintings are you most interested in? I will make sure to bring them, this way you get to become the curator for the exhibition."
The weeks went by quickly. The truck expediting her images came and picked up the wooden crate with the images.
She sent Rodrigo a selfie of herself in front of the selected paintings as they went into the crate.
"Fine, see you in two weeks. Can we have a private viewing apart from the convention?"
"I'll set up on Thursday and Friday before the convention opens. You want to come? The convention starts at 7 pm. Enough time before that."
"Ok, I'll be there at 5 pm. And then we can stroll over the convention opening. The food at the GC-Hotel is said to be fine. You will be my host." He did not ask, he stated.
He had done some googling too. First, it looked as if she operated a cafe near Portland's docks and lived in a shabby studio above it. Digging deeper revealed that she was not a poor artist living a bohemian dream. It turned out she was the third generation heiress to a well-established family of hoteliers. He saw the Atlantic Hotel and the Rosy. The website of the Rosy said it was changing its name to Roissy while undergoing extensive renovations under the supervision of the owner's daughter Bella. A floor with fantasy-themed rooms was due to be opened later this year. To see the rooms and their themes, you had to become a friend of Roissy. It cost you a whopping grand to join, but you would get a free weekend in one of the rooms.
"Is it worth becoming a friend of Roissy?" he wrote.
"Definitely, but you don't have to. The exhibition in GC will be decorated like one of the new rooms. But to give you a hint, they are all private dungeons."
"Dungeons?"
"Yeah, dungeon like in BDSM. Ropes, chains, cages, whips, etc. Got exposed to that?"
"Not really. I always thought this BDSM stuff was stilted and theatrical."
