November 2nd -- Present Year
On the eve of their forty-fourth wedding anniversary, Diana had sent him a text and told him to meet her at the bar in "The Club". The Club, as it was called was the local BDSM club. Its formal name was "The Grotto of Pain and Pleasure".
They had been members here for slightly more than two months, and in that time, it had become one of their favorite places to visit. Located twelve miles to the south of the city and situated in a heavily wooded area, the club building itself was surrounded by a ten-foot-high fence. Nestled among the pine trees, it looked like it might be anything from a warehouse to a farm-implement storage building.
But once through the gate and into the building the innocent looking facade quickly dissolved away, and its true nature was revealed. The Club catered to both masters and mistresses and there were numerous themed areas within its walls. These areas catered to the varied whims of its clientele and ranged from single private rooms for the discreet master or mistress to train their slave in a secluded setting, to elaborate large public play areas. The Roman Arena with its columns, baths, and amphitheater settings was a favorite for many of the club's clients. Another was the old western corral and saloons. There were other themed areas as well.
Diana's favorite was simply called "The Dungeon". The dungeon was by far the largest and most elaborate of all the club's areas. It was a large space, maybe one hundred feet long and seventy-five feet wide and had at least a twenty-foot ceiling and looked strikingly like what one would imagine a medieval dungeon would look like. The floor was covered in what appeared to be ancient hand-hewn stones arranged in no particular pattern yet covering the entire area. The walls were covered in rough fieldstones. Along the walls at about six-foot intervals were large iron-work candle sconces. These sconces provided the only light to the dungeon, except for the stage lights that were used as they were needed. There was nothing to define the ceiling, except blackness; unseen in the dark shadows were various lights, cables, and pullies that could be brought into use as needed.
He was to go to the club's bar and order his favorite drink. He was also instructed not to interact socially with anyone. He was simply to sit at the bar, drink his drinks and think of her, and nothing else. He had complied completely with her instructions, and after one and a half hours he was beginning to feel a bit tipsy. But he continued to obey her instructions.
Finally, an hour later, she appeared. She was a thing of beauty. Dressed in skin-tight black leather pants, a black silk blouse, and black stiletto heels. Her blond hair bounced around her face and shoulders. Her lips and nails were a deep shade of red that bordered on black -- like that of Black Cherries. Her deep Azure Blue eyes sparkled in the light. Then she saw him and walked, with extreme confidence, towards him.
"Hello my pet," she said. "Are you ready for your journey to begin?"
"Yes princess," he answered. "I am ready, I'll do whatever is necessary."
She smiled as she sat next to him and motioned for the bartender.
"I'll have a margarita, made with PatrΓ³n, on the rocks, and no salt," she said. "And bring him another of what he's been drinking".
"Yes Mistress," he said. The bartender, undoubtably a male slave of one of the members was easily identified as such by his slave collar and barcode tag. He hurried away to fulfil her order, and in a few minutes, he returned with their drinks and set them on the bar.
They drank their drinks, and Diana ordered another round. By this time Dave was well on his way to being intoxicated and did not see her slip the innocent-looking powder into his drink. They continued to chit chat and drink for several minutes. After their second round of drinks together, Dave asked her for permission to go to the restroom, and she granted it. As he started to get up to go, he suddenly felt his legs give out and he fell back into his seat. He was fully conscious: He could see, hear, and feel; but he was totally, and utterly unable to move or speak.
She took his head and gently held him as she looked into his eyes. "Don't worry my pet. This is what you have fantasized about for such a long time. From this day forward this is no longer your fantasy, but your new reality.
"Remember this is what you asked for," she said as his eyes grew heavy and closed.
Then there was only blackness, and silence as he slipped into unconsciousness...
November 3rd -- Present Year
Dave tried to answer her, but he couldn't...
Diana looked at him, and retrieved a small remote-control device concealed somewhere from within the confines of her form fitting black leather bustier. She smiled as she clicked one of its buttons, and instantly the winch came to life and started pulling the cable and his wrist towards the ceiling far overhead.
Slowly he felt himself being pulled aloft. His feet were still chained together and attached to the ring in the stone floor by the two feet of slack in the chain. Once his feet were off the floor, and the chains were drawn up tight, she released the button on the remote and the winch ceased trying to lift him any higher. His body was stretched taught and suspended in the center of the room. His arms were stretched overhead, and his legs were held firmly in place by the chains locked around his ankles. They were stretched downward and rendered useless as he could barely move them. Unaccustomed to carrying the weight of his body, his shoulders ached.
She stepped out of the cone of light that was focused on her, and as she started to move about, the heels of her shoes clicking against the stone floor echoed throughout the room. She went to a table behind him. There she started retrieving objects from shelfs hidden in the shadows and placed them on a cart. He could hear a metallic jingle as she carefully set each of the objects in place. When she had finished selecting and carefully placing her implements, she slowly pushed the cart across the stone floor. The only sounds in the rooms were the click-clack of her heels against the floor, his labored breathing, and the soft clanging sound as the wheels of the cart bounced against the cobblestone floor. She brought the cart around and into the brilliant cone of white light so that he could see it.
"I asked you a question," she said. "Are you willing to surrender completely to me?"
Again, he tried to answer her but was unable to. He was still struggling to recover his voice and to remember where he was and how he had gotten here.
Slowly, ever so slowly, the fog in his mind began to lift and he started remembering.
He was beginning to remember the sequence of events that led up to his awaking here. Foggy at first, but becoming clearer by the minute, he began recalling...
Four and a half months earlier
In the ensuing two weeks since Dave's submission had begun, he had divulged all his innermost secret fantasies to her. Diana had insisted that he prepare a detailed list of desires and wants and to present that list to her.
A few days later, he had finished the list. He was naked, except for the stainless-steel cock cage that imprisoned his cock. This was his new norm. Her first directive, after his submission was that he was not allowed to wear clothing when they were alone. The second was that he was to wear the chastity cage 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It was not to be removed, ever, unless she dictated so.
Dave found her sitting on the sofa in the media room watching something on television. It was yet another drama of some sort, the kind of mindless detritus that seemed to capture her attention from time to time. She looked up at him, and then went back to the mundane acting and tedious dialogue of the program she was so enthralled with.
"Princess, here is the list that you wanted me to prepare for you," he said as he kneeled before her.
She looked at him with a hint of annoyance briefly visible upon her face. She took the list from him and set it upon the table without giving it a second glance.
"Rub my feet," she commanded.
Dave got up immediately and retrieved her favorite lotion and returned to keeling before her. He gently took her right foot in his hands, gently and with worshipping adoration, kissed each of her toes. Then he applied the lotion to her foot and began to work it in. As he massaged her foot and calf muscle, he could feel her starting to relax. After he had finished with her right foot, he proceeded to lavish the same attention to her left one as well.
