As opening day approached at our new club near AlmerÃa, our preparations became more urgent, and I decided to take Martina into my confidence as a sort of second-in-command, to fulfil the role I had started to take on under Doña Francisca at the club we had so recently left behind. Sergio was in full agreement, especially as it meant the three of us sleeping together frequently, which he liked.
But we also had to summon Inge and Amity to our bed for a night each, so that we could check them out before letting them loose on our new clients, so time was crowding in on us.
Sergio wanted to put on a 'spectacular' for our opening night, and had sent discreet word around all the influential local businesses and dignitaries as to what was about to take place. He knew from experience who to invite, and, more importantly, who to avoid.
We were anxious to do something different from the shows at the parent club, especially as our owners, Mario and Marta, together with my old boss, Doña Francisca, were going to be present. I was very nervous as I prepared myself for the evening, and just hoped it would work as planned.
I dressed with great care, choosing a backless long velvet gown. I had Eva help me put up my long black hair, and knew she was envious of us as we prepared to welcome the guests.
'Your turn will come, darling, don't worry, ' I told her, recognising myself in her – we were physically quite alike.
Once ready, I went to help Sergio with the arrangements in the theatre, and prepare the other girls and Daniel, who, apart from Sergio, was to be the only male participant in our show.
The stage of our theatre was a little larger than the one at our parent club, which would help what we had in mind, and I went up on to it to make sure all was well. As requested, there were two St. Andrew's Crosses, one at each side of the stage. They were equipped with snap-links at all four extremities. In front of each was an upholstered couch. Between them, heavy chains hung from the ceiling, again ending in snap-links, and matched by similar attachment sprouting from the floor. In front of this array was a table, on which was set a tray containing a variety of whips and other instruments of pain and torture. There was a many-stranded leather flogger, and long riding-crop, a great leather bull-whip, a leather paddle, a thin leather belt, a long leather thong which had metal insets like teeth set into it, two thin, vicious-looking canes with leather handles and two huge dildos. Directly in front of this, steps leading down into the auditorium would be revealed when the curtain went up.
Cars started to arrive, and it was time, at last, to welcome our guests. I had Eva, and another very pretty girl, Naomi, in their skimpy maids' uniforms, stand at the entrance, taking guests' coats, and directing them to their seats, and I myself greeted special ones, like Doña Francisca, and our owners, who all seemed very pleased to see what we had so far done. 'I hope you will enjoy the show,' I said nervously.
'I'm sure we shall,' said Mario, patting my arse. I think he would have preferred to take me up to bed there and then. Marta looked disapprovingly at him, though she knew him well enough, knew he had fucked every girl on the staff at some time or another. 'Come on, let's go and see the show,' she said.
Sergio had been organising the show meanwhile, and had everyone in place. I nipped around backstage, and took in the scene. Martina and Inge were clipped to the St Andrew's Crosses, both stark naked, which I thought would be a wonderful impact, when the curtain rose. Both girls had lovely bodies, and I had made sure they had been prepared well, their nipples and labia rouged, their faces made up perfectly, their hair immaculate. Spread-eagled as they were, they couldn't have looked more vulnerable, and when I told them to look terrified, it was hardly necessary. I left them alone on stage, gave the signal for the music, a solemn, vaguely ecclesiastical chant, to start, and the curtain rose. They tossed their heads around on cue, as I watched from the wings, and on walked Daniel and Amity, hand-in-hand. They both wore close fitting latex body suits, and in their free hands held riding crops. They came to the front of the stage, still hand-in-hand, and then the audience could see that both body-suits were crotchless. When they released each other's hands, Amity stroked Daniel's naked prick in the lewd gap in his suit, getting an instant response, as it reared up to her touch, while he thrust his hand into her slit through the open crotch of her own suit, and she opened her legs slightly in answer to his touch. They didn't dwell in this position, but, as the music swelled, they kissed and parted, the audience applauding spontaneously now, as they made their way, Daniel to Martina, and Amity to Inge.
They had both been well-schooled in theatrical moves, and made a great show of stroking their respective victims with their crops, feeling their cunts, probing them with the handles of the crops and tweaking their rouged nipples, then as the music gave them the pre-arranged signal, they both started to whip their chained and helpless prey. Both screamed out, much more loudly than was normal. Although the crop undoubtedly hurt, I knew that Martina, at least, had a taste for the whip, and had several times begged me to punish her.
I looked down at the audience, and saw many open mouths, and already some masturbating going on. I saw to my considerable satisfaction that one well-dressed lady had her husband's shaft in her hand, right there in the front row.
As the music faded, I gave the signal for the lights to be dimmed too, and it was Sergio's turn to make his brief appearance. He marched on, in a cowelled monk's robe, and, as the lights came on, it was clear that Martina and Inge had been taken down from their crosses, and were now reclining on the upholstered couches, where they were both quietly masturbating themselves for the audience's benefit, their busy fingers darting into their pink pussies, holding their labia apart so that those close by could see clearly.
Sergio went to the tray on the table, took up one of the massive dildos, and strode over to Inge. Without ceremony, he bent down and rammed it hard up the Swedish girl's cunt, then turned away, and repeated the process for Martina. Side curtains closed across the two girls' positions, and they both got up and scampered into the wings.
'How did I do?' asked Martina, breathlessly.
'Just great,' I said, 'you were fantastic.'
While this was happening, Sergio had gone to the back of the stage and returned, dragging an apparently reluctant Ursula with him. She was dressed in a long sheer white negligee and stilettos, with a silver chain around her waist. Her nipple-rings, and the ring in her clitoris-hood could be seen through the thin material, under the lights. She made a show of resistance as Sergio cuffed her wrists to the chains above her head, and fastened her ankle-restraints to the clips in the floor. With one sudden movement, he tore her negligee from neck to ground, ripping it from her body. The, picking up a long, thin cane from the tray, he sent it whistling audibly through the air, and lashed her dispassionately across her upper back, raising a bright red welt the whole width of her white back. She neither cried out nor flinched.
Sergio took a step forward. 'I will introduce you all to Ursula,' he said, in a clear voice, 'whilst all our girls here are accustomed to punishment, and, indeed, learn to enjoy it, Ursula has a capacity for pain which goes beyond the normal. I now invite any three of you to come and whip her, using whatever implement you choose from our selection here. You can have five strokes each, and they can be as hard as you like. Ursula can take it.'
Sergio then went and sat on a chair at the back of the stage, and watched as first a young guy got up on stage, accompanied by much ribaldry from his friends, and used the riding crop, three to Ursula's arse, and two across her tits, which I thought might have made her wince, but she looked disdainfully after him when he left the stage. An older guy got up and tried his hand with the bull-whip. It was impressive-looking, but I knew from personal experience that it was not as fearsome a it looked. Then the last guy stepped up, and called to Sergio, 'Can my wife have a turn?'
'Certainly,' said Sergio, and a slightly past-her-best blonde stepped up, wearing a good leather suit and silk blouse. She looked at all the instruments on offer and took up a thin cane. She walked slowly around Ursula, as if to look for points of vulnerability, then nodded slowly and lashed her hard, twice, across the inner thigh. I thought I saw the German girl actually flinch just a little, and when she repeated the dose, just a little further back, a tiny 'Oh' definitely escaped her lips. The woman threw down the cane, and said, 'Four's enough, darling, but we'll come and see you here soon.'
The show drew to a close, and all the girls came on naked to take a curtain call, to considerable applause, then we served dinner.
Later, Sergio and I had a meeting with Marta, Mario and Doña Francisca.
'Well, what did you think?' Sergio asked.
'It was very good,' said Marta, 'but are those the only girls you have?'
'At the moment, yes.'
'Then, judging from the number of people in the audience, I think you had better get some recruiting done. You need two more, at least, and soon.'
I had been coming quickly to the same conclusion, and already had an idea.
'I've got a girl lined up,' I said, 'she should be fine.'
'Good,' said Sergio, 'I think I know who you mean, and I agree. Perhaps our talent scout Daniel can find us another – we'll send him off to the discos.'
When everybody had gone, I rang for Eva.
She arrived at my office, looking nervous. 'What have I done wrong, Miss Renata?'
'Nothing, so far as I know,' I said, 'you live at home, don't you?'
'Yes,' she said.
'No boyfriends or anything?'
'Not at the moment.'
'Could you move into the Club?'
She looked a little taken aback. 'I suppose so,' she said, after a moment's hesitation, 'my foster-parents don't really have enough room for me anyway.'
'Do you remember once asking me about my nipple-clamps?'
'Yes'
'And do you remember saying you would like to try them – be trained?'
'Yes,' she said, her voice clear of any doubt, her big dark eyes regarding me with something close to awe.
'Well, Eva, the time may have come.'
'Oh, Miss Renata, I've lived for this day. I know all about what you do. I'm not a child, just give me a chance – I won't let you down.' She took my hand in hers and kissed it, and, as she was about to leave, she turned to me and said, 'Just one more thing. I wonder if.....if one day, I could be.......could be.....er.....branded, you know, like you?'
I was left speechless as she went out of my office, but in no doubt that I had my new recruit.
Next morning, Eva was waiting at tables, as usual, dressed in her black minidress and little white apron, and I called her to me.
'After breakfast, Eva, to my office, please.'
She gave a little curtsy and said, 'Yes, Miss Renata.'
She had obviously been waiting for me to get there, because no sooner had I sat behind my desk than there was a timid knock on the door.
'Come in,' I called, and Eva appeared.
