FORWARD
This is a record of a fantasy, not an attempt to describe a real life dungeon, about which I know almost nothing.
Also, the story is heavily influenced by classic French erotica and so does not dwell on the main character's inner thoughts and feelings. It may not be for everyone.
THE BEGINNING
He looked around his spacious, sparely furnished, perfect office. One of the perfect things was the large picture window overlooking the park across the street, just now leafing out for spring. Another perfect thing was the executive bathroom, roomy enough for a closet and shower.
Life was good. He relished his job. He had enough money to comfortably pay for a new, strange experience. And it was five o'clock, time to get ready for that experience. He stood up from his desk and went into the bathroom. A shower was required just as it was before a physical. Only this time, presumably, there would be many strangers examining him.
He soaped well, front and back. He looked at his reflection in the large mirror as he toweled off. His looks were another perfect thing in his life. Tall, but not grotesquely so. Well muscled, but not bulky. Masculine hair in all the right places, and in none of the wrong places. The suit he put on was, of course, perfect.
He chuckled silently to himself. Then there was his modesty.
As he left his office he looked over to his right where there was a large open plan area of desks. Pederson was, as usual, at the front desk. He was always struck by the misfortune that Pederson was the first employee the public saw on this floor, with his straight bangs, dumpling face and soft build. A good worker but not a good image. He couldn't even remember Pederson's first name. A defect in his character that he should attend to.
At the bottom of the wide curved stairway to the lobby was another slightly less than perfect employee. Stephanie was a good receptionist, but it always seemed to him that she was chewing gum. She wasn't, of course. She just seemed that way.
He took some comfort in the knowledge that neither Pederson nor Stephanie would suspect he entertained such petty thoughts about them. He was well liked by his staff.
When he opened the door to the street he inhaled wonderful late afternoon spring air. The faint aroma of car exhaust added piquancy. He'd experienced a heightened sensuality all day and took pleasure from the feel of his suit along the length of his legs as he strode down the sidewalk.
He'd never been inside The Association's building on Maxbridge, but he'd passed it often. One block up along the park and then another block and a few more paces. Three steps led down to a massive wooden door with a shiny brass handle. It opened easily.
A short carpeted set of stairs led down to a reception area defined by the same red carpet. On the left its curved edge marked the beginning of the parquet floor of a large hall. Just how large was impossible to tell because the lighting left the edges in darkness. Three sizeable round tables, about fifty feet apart, sat in circles of light, the table on one edge of the light, and mysterious structures on the other.
Ah, those, whatever they are, are for me.
The muscles between his legs contracted in a pleasant way, and his breath briefly became a little rapid and shallow. He paused for a moment to savor the sensations.
On the right of the reception area was a counter, a little above waist high.
There were a dozen or so people in the area, mostly couples, dressed in suits and cocktail dresses. He took in as many faces as he could without being caught staring. These were the ones. He stepped up to the reception desk where two were talking with the receptionist behind the counter, a young fresh faced woman, girlish. The woman patron said, "We have tickets for the bondage station, but we'd like to switch to punishment, if there are openings."
"Are you certified?"
"Yes, we both are."
"OK. Yes, there are two openings. I'll switch you."
Bondage. Punishment
. The muscles between his legs contracted again. Ever since he'd begun the process of signing up for The Association, his body had begun to give him these pleasant little gifts. Muscles would contract... his sphincter, his thighs, various places in his abdomen or lower back when he reflected on what he was up to. Now it was no longer reflection, it was real.
The couple moved on and he stepped up. "Hi, John Faranger. I want to check in."
