Chapter 3 Laura tightens her grip
On Wednesday evening of the next week I got a text from Benjamin, "Hello goddess. I have the winch additions ready for your red room."
I replied, "Great. What time can you be over tomorrow night to put them in?"
He replied, "6:00 pm."
I texted back, "That works as long as you bring Chinese food."
He said, "Your usual?"
I said, "Of course."
He texted, "See you then."
I sent a thumbs up.
The next evening I had Benjamin over to put in the winches. He put one on each end of my cuckold bed. He put the third on the wall. He set it up so I could crank in cables at the four corners of the bed from low or high pulleys. He showed me how it worked. He also bought me suspension rated wrist and ankle restraints. They were large and heavy duty. I had him lay on the bed so I could practice.
First I set it up using the lower cables. Once he was on his back and secured to all four corners I began cranking on the handle. Soon he was stretched tight as his limbs were pulled in four different directions. He was totally helpless.
I took the opportunity to take off his stainless steel chastity cage. I took it up to my kitchen and put it in a bowl filled with ice.
I brought it back down and set it next to the bed. I spent the next half hour teasing Benjamin's tiny erection with a large pink feather. It was great fun watching him struggle. He was stretched so tight he could barely move. I said, "When you want me to stop just ask me to lock you back in your cage."
He said, "Yes goddess."
He lasted another twenty minutes before the frustration was too much. He said, "Please goddess, lock my cage back on."
I smiled and said, "Well, if that's what you want."
I pulled the ring out of the ice water and put it over his cock and balls. I pulled his scrotum through and he winced as each testicle squeezed through.
His tiny erection was pointing up. As soon as I put the ice cold cage over his penis it deflated enough that I could easily lock it. I said, "That worked better than I hoped. That's how we are going to do that from now on."
I used the hand crank to release the tension on Benjamin's limbs. Then I unsnapped his wrist cuffs.
I said, "Take off the cuffs and put them in the cabinet."
As I watched him free himself I remembered my conversation with Grace and I said, "Benjamin, one of these days I will have you service Grace in the oral worship chair."
Benjamin said, "Yes goddess."
I said, "If she's not pleased with your efforts I will punish you."
Benjamin said, "Don't worry goddess. I will not disappoint you or her."
By Friday morning I still hadn't seen Dr. Bradford again. Late on Friday morning I got a text from Alexis. She said, "If you don't have plans tonight it would be a good night to visit The Labyrinth."
I replied, "I'm free tonight."
That Friday night was my first visit to The Labyrinth. I decided to dress down and keep a low profile. I put on very light makeup so it would seem that I wasn't wearing any. I wore simple black slacks and a loose gray shirt that showed just a little cleavage.
I went with another dominatrix from Red Room Studio named Jade. She's a dark skinned African American woman. She is very athletic with a beautiful face. According to her profile on the Red Room Studio website she is six foot two inches tall, a full six inches taller than me.
I didn't know her well but we had spoken a few times in the dominatrix dressing room at Red Room Studio. Her eyes are a striking green color. She has a muscular ass and legs but she is tall enough that she seems slender. She keeps her hair cropped short and she usually shows off her D cup breasts with tight or low cut tops.
Jade and I sat at the bar and I took in the scene. The bar tender came over and said, "Hi Jade, how have you been?"
Jade said, "You know me, betrayin' and misbehavin'."
He chuckled and said, "Atta girl. Who's your friend?"
Jade said, "Elias, I'd like you to meet Laura Steele. She's a pro at Red Room. Laura, this is Elias. He's one of the owners here."
I extended my hand and said, "It's nice to meet you Elias. Quite a place you have here."
Elias shook my hand and said, "Thank you. Every night's an adventure. So what can I get you ladies?"
Jade said, "I have an exhibition session in a half hour so I'll have an ice water but Laura, she'll have my usual."
Elias smiled and said, "Vodka martini extra dry coming right up."
I said, "Wow, getting right to it. I usually drink wine."
Jade said, "Awe you need to toughen up. Besides you're a kick ass dominatrix, you need to live the part. You sure as hell look it."
I said, "I'll take that as a compliment."
Jade said, "It was meant to be."
I said, "I guess one martini won't kill me. So what's an exhibition session?"
Jade pointed across the room and said, "See the stage over there?"
I looked and said, "Yeah."
Jade explained, "Sometimes that's a dance floor. Sometimes they have a band setup. Tonight it's a performance stage."
Elias slid our drinks over and said, "Enjoy!"
Jade said, "Thanks Elias."
I picked up the martini and said, "So tonight you are the show?"
Jade said, "Well I'm one of the shows. I'm doing an advanced bullwhip session with rope bondage and suspension."
I said, "Wow. So do you pick a volunteer out of the audience?"
She laughed and said, "Ah, no. Slave Joshua has sessioned with me dozens of times. In fact it would be fair to say he and I are very close. This is his first public session. We have learned a lot together. It can be dangerous if I lose focus. That's why I'm sticking to ice water right now."
Jade continued, "This session is very advanced and Joshua trusts me. Serious pro domme sessions take a lot of trust. Part of the reason for public display is so everyone can see how well trained he is."
I said, "Yeah I understand the trust issue. In this case it's about dancing on the edge of pain and pleasure. And, of course, avoiding serious injury. In my relationships trust involves maintaining separation between public display and private servitude."
Jade commented, "When you find the right one he, or she, will be willing to submit to you regardless of the surroundings."
That comment made me think. I had always assumed I needed to keep my public life separate from my private.
I must have been lost in thought too long. Jade said, "Laura. Hello in there."
I said, "Oh I'm sorry Jade. I was just processing."
I decided to change the subject and said, "Do exhibition sessions pay well?" I took a drink of my martini.
Jade said, "Well, is $1000 for a half hour good?"
I choked on my drink and said, "Holy shit. That's not good it's great. So The Labyrinth pays you?"
Jade said, "No it's all from the sub. The Labyrinth doesn't charge or pay. These sessions are like free entertainment for them."
I said, "I see, interesting. Well I'm looking forward to it."
I took another sip of my martini and continued, "So, is Jade your real name?"
Jade said, "Yep. Named after my green eyes."
I said, "Wow, I thought you wore green contacts."
Jade said, "Nope, the eyes are natural. The tits, not so much."
I laughed and said, "Well you are gorgeous. I mean, you don't make $1000 per half hour for being average."
