Chapter 1: An Introduction
All that surrounds you is darkness. Blindfolded and chained in place, all you can think about is the proverbial ticking clock and counting in your head. And the pleasure, so much pleasure. You're scared of what will happen if you fail your Master; scared, but also aroused.

Chloe had been working at this furniture store for a few years now but had never met someone like him. She knew that men would usually buy more because of her curves. She tried not to play on it too much because sometimes they could get a bit overly touchy. But Sean was different. He was beautiful, and this time she actually wanted him to ask her out. This time she would happily say yes, unlike all those other times losers asked her out and she would say no.
For Sean, she would bend or lean over as many couches as needed to get him interested. Unfortunately, he seemed to be nothing but a perfect gentleman. He kept everything professional and above board the entire time, never seeming to take the hint. Eventually, he finished purchasing everything he came in for. Dejected and a bit sad, Chloe expected him to walk out of her life forever.
But, as soon as the receipt was in his hand, his entire demeanor changed. He looked at her differently. He looked at her like a lion would look at a gazelle. Her heart began to pound.
"Excuse me, Chloe, I'm sorry if this is too forward, but would you happen to be free tonight after work?"
Her body froze from shock, and it took a few seconds for her to realize what he had just asked.
"Uhh, sure. I'm free after this."
"Great. When do you get off work?"
"My shift ends at 6."
"Then I'll be waiting outside at 6, or will you need some time?"
"6 will work."
"I'll see you then," he said as he walked away and out the front door.
Chloe spent the rest of her shift half in a daze. Did he actually ask her out? She wanted nothing more than for him to do just that, but for someone like him to actually ask her out like that? Hell must be freezing over.
But when she left the store at 6:03, just like he promised, he was sitting in his car waiting for her. Sean took her to a restaurant she could never have afforded on her salary. Yet Chloe walked in wearing her cheap dress skirt and button-up shirt. In a sea of beautiful women in beautiful dresses, he only had eyes for her. Eventually, during the appetizer, Chloe began to relax and enjoy herself. They talked into the night about work and what they do for fun.
Once they were back in the car, she seemed to get nervous. He could tell that something was bothering her.
"Is everything okay?"
"No... Yeah, I just... So I don't normally do this, but do you wanna take me back to your place?"
His smile spread across his face as Sean responded, "Sure thing."
On the drive, she started to realize what part of town they were driving toward. The cheapest apartment around there would easily be twice or three times what she's currently paying in rent. His building did not disappoint. The lobby was massive with an absurd amount of marble. When they got into the elevator, he pressed a button for one of the top floors.
Sean's apartment was gigantic, with a living room twice the size of hers, and if you add in the space from the kitchen and dining room, it would easily be larger than her current apartment. And yet, he apparently also had a bedroom and home office. She continued to ogle the amount of living space he had while he went to mix them some drinks.
As the night went on, Sean mixed them a second and then a third round of drinks. This loosened them up a bit more until Chloe finally asked, "So when are you going to make your move?"
