Anthony turned back to the computer. He logged into the Pillory website and then into the chat site. He began to scan the user list and found FatherDom. He could tell that FatherDom was in his private room and also in the room where everyone started when they came into the chat site. It was a room simply called "Welcome."
Anthony sat and watched the scroll on the window. He found it confusing and hard to follow the many conversations and the speed of the scroll. He then saw FatherDom speak to someone named "Sweethang". Anthony watched that conversation amid all the others. The man seemed polite, concerned, and helpful to "Sweethang."
Anthony sat for several minutes watching the screen scroll. He finally typed a message and directed it to FatherDom in the Welcome room.
SensualSadist -- Hello. I hope you don't mind. Could I ask you a few questions?
FatherDom -- Of course. I am always glad to help a fellow dominant.
SensualSadist -- I am pretty new to this chat room stuff. You seem to be well informed and well known. Can you give me some tips on getting started?
FatherDom -- Of course. It is really pretty simple. Can you tell me some of your kinks?
That was a question Anthony hadn't really expected. He had to get his thoughts together pretty quickly. He thought back to some of the videos he had watched that Sasha had also watched. He began to type his reply.
SensualSadist -- I am pretty much into all aspects of BDSM. I am particularly interested in the harder and more extreme aspects. I like to play hard. I find the thoughts of forced use of a woman very arousing. I am not sure how well that fits in here.
FatherDom -- Let's take this to a private message. It will be easier to converse without all this other background noise.
Anthony saw a private message screen pop up on his computer. A message flashed onto the screen.
FatherDom -- I think you are going to fit in pretty well around here. You will find a lot of men and women who share your interests.
SensualSadist -- I have had a hard time finding and meeting any female submissives that seem willing to do what I want. Is there some sort of trick to it? I am not the smoothest typist, and I am not sure how to do one of these online sex scenes.
FatherDom -- You sound like a pretty intelligent guy. I think you just need to see how some of this works. Let me invite you to my private room. I have some submissives that visit there on a regular basis and you can see how this works.
SensualSadist -- Thank you! I knew from watching that you were someone most everyone on here trusted. You must have been around here a long time.
FatherDom -- I have been doing this a long time. Go ahead and come to my room. There are some other people there. They may not respond. They tend to just hang out in the room even if they are not around their computer.
SensualSadist -- Be there in just a bit.
Anthony clicked the enter button in the room invitation and a second chat screen opened. He saw five names in the user list including his. FatherDom was quick to respond to his entry.
FatherDom -- Welcome. Just a few rules here in my room. Almost anything goes but if you go over my limits, you will get one warning and then the boot. This is a room for serious dominants with a bent toward Sadism. If you don't find that appealing best you leave now.
FatherDom -- Glad you made it. Things are a little slow right now. Just hang around. Something will pop up.
SensualSadist -- Thanks for the invite. I will hang out a bit and see what develops.
Anthony minimized the screen. He went back to studying that material Angela had suggested. The morning passed relatively quickly. It was about half past noon when Dimitri stuck his head in the office.
"Want to get some lunch. I have a few questions."
"Sure. I can take a break. Want to go now?"
"Yeah. Come on. I'll drive."
They got into Dimitri's little crossover SUV. He drove to a restaurant not far away. Inside they found a table and after ordering, Dimitri plunged right into his questions.
"I know I haven't been here long, but I have noticed a few things."
"Like what?"
"The way you have the staff organized. Could I make some suggestions?"
"Sure. You're the expert."
"Hardly that. But I do think I can find some ways to make things run a little better and improve the efficiency."
"Dimitri, I told you that you are in complete control. If you want to change something in the way we are doing things, feel free. I would ask that when it comes to contracts and plans that if you change anything there you ask me first."
"Oh. I would never change anything about that part. I know nothing about it. But handling routine business operations and personnel issues are my thing. Most people don't understand how much those little things can affect a business."
"You do what you think is best. Just remember that you are tinkering with the business that puts food on your grandkids table. Screw it up and we will all be living with you?"
Dimitri laughed.
"That wouldn't be a problem, but I don't think there is a chance of that. I have looked at your company and it is growing. You have good people and basically a very sound plan. I think we can make things a little better by moving some people around, changing the way things are handled to make them more productive, and tightening up procedures."
"Good. Get it done."
Lunch came and they focused on the meal. Dimitri talked a little more about what he thought needed to be done and Anthony listened. By the end of the meal, Anthony was convinced that if nothing else came out of this project, having Dimitri involved was going to leave his company stronger and more competitive.

Back at the office, Anthony was again working through the material on the websites. He was rapidly getting a whole new understanding of the BDSM lifestyle from people who were committed to it more deeply than he could have imagined. He was gaining insights into relationships and a better understanding of what compelled people to engage in these activities.
The office was closing down rapidly when he left. He drove to Angela's office and went in unannounced. She came from the back dressed in her usual slacks and shirt.
"You are prompt. I like that. Come on in and sit down."
They found seats in her office. Anthony still avoided the couch. Angela started right in.
"Have you gone through that material I gave you?"
