The desk clerk made her way around the counter and then picked up the ringing phone. She introduced the hotel in a professional tone and waited for the reply.
"Yes, sir." she paused, "Yes, yes there is..." she continued.
Denna picked up her day planner, standing by the large sectional in the hotel lobby, she was about to leave when she looked up.
"Are you Denna?" the desk clerk asked, in a polite tone, standing in front of her.
"Yes." Denna looked at her puzzled.
"Come with me, please." The desk clerk smiled and then turned waiting for Denna to follow.
They arrived at the front desk and Denna stood at the counter as the desk clerk walked through another door, returning with a bag that had been zipped to a close. She placed the bag on the counter, typed on the computer keyboard and then scanned a key card.
Denna stood quietly and stared at the bag, wondering what it would have to do with her.
The desk clerk handed her the key. "Your guest has already checked you in and is waiting for you. Here's your bag, enjoy your stay with us." She smiled politely, lifting the bag up waiting for Denna to take it.
"Your room is located on the top floor, you take those elevators," she pointed. "...and then it's the 5th door down on your left." The desk clerk drew a line on the map of the hotel, showing her the way.
"Thank you." Denna smiled, trying not to look surprised and then turned to walk toward the elevators.
Once in the elevator she felt her heart start to race. When she arrived at her floor, she took a deep breath. Now standing in front of the room, she slipped the key into the card slot, releasing the lock to the door. A few short steps in and she faced a large bed. The blinds were pulled almost to a close, as Denna looked around the large, penthouse-style room.
"Hello, my little pet." Denna sucked in a breath, half startled.
She glanced toward the corner of the room from where his voice came. His face in the shadows, only the crossed form of his legs had shone.
She answered without hesitation. "Hello, Sir."
"Go into the bathroom, put what's on in the bag and return to the middle of the floor." He paused.
Denna bent down to picked up the bag, as she started to turn. She hesitated for a moment and saw another pair of crossed legs which were on the opposite side of the bed.
"Scoot, right now! Don't keep me waiting." He bit out firmly.
"Yes, Sir." Denna answered, taking her eyes away from the mysterious guest, as she headed toward the bathroom which had shone a hint of light coming from the door.
Denna entered the soft-lit bathroom and then closed the door behind her. An oval shaped mirror hung over the sink and behind her, a full length mirror was mounted on the wall.
Denna unzipped the bag and reached for the silk, coiled ribbon. She laid the shiny, thick, red material on the spacious counter top. At the bottom of the bag, her black velvet collar lay next to two short wooden sticks. She smiled brightly and then took them from the bag, laying them next to the ribbon, as she quickly undressed and placed her folded clothes in the bag.
Denna stood nude, trying to gather her thoughts as she stared into the mirror. Her nipples were hard; a dark red from her obvious excitement. She picked up her collar and put it around her neck, attaching the clasp, as she smiled proudly in the mirror at the double, silver heart-ring that hung from the apple of her throat.
Twisting her hair up above her head, she stabbed one wooden stick through her hair. The other slid in behind it, placing an X at the top of her head, holding her hair tightly in place. She turned and looked down at the different sized, red ribbon. Moving her fingers through it she knew she had to be quick, he was waiting.
She tied one short piece of ribbon to each wrist and then took two more short pieces, tying one to each ankle. Grasping the rest of the ribbon off the sink, she then laid the rest of the long ribbon around her neck.
Leaving the bathroom, candles were now lit on a small dining table off to the left, when she entered the living room part of the penthouse which had six high-back chairs pushed under it. Subtle music was playing and the blinds had been pulled to a complete close. Sandalwood, vanilla and the fresh scent cinnamon filled her senses as she came to a stop in the middle of the floor. She folded her wrists behind her, placing them at her lower back, and then stared at the head board, waiting.
"I wondered how and where you'd place the ribbon, my little pet. I'm very impressed." He said, in a low heated voice.
"Thank you, Sir." Denna replied with a smile, listening to his boots, scuffing against the floor toward her.
"Feet shoulder length apart." He said in a low tone beside her ear. "Bend over a touch your toes." He continued.
"Yes, Sir." Denna replied as the ribbon around her wrists gathered in a pile at her feet while she slowly bent down to touch her toes.
"Did you enjoy your task, my little pet?" He pulled the ribbon from her neck, as she bent over, and then he knelt down on one knee.
"Mmm, yes Sir, I did." Denna answered softly, as she watched him grab the ribbon on her wrist and tie it to the ribbon on her ankle, repeating it with the other, leaving enough space between them to move, but not enough for her to stand up.
