Michelle was feeling a little drunk, but nothing too serious as we walked up the street looking for a bar.
I had a piece of paper with a time & nearby address written on it which was given to me by a lady masseuse who had earlier that day given Michelle a massage at our hotel. I happened to secretly walk into the room at the moment this hot little Asian woman gave my even hotter blonde wife a happy ending.
Afterwards, while Michelle was in the shower, Sandy the masseuse took me aside and told me to be at this address at 8pm sharp if I wanted to see more. I have no idea why I decided to go through with it, but seeing Michelle who is normally so conservative and for a better word, frigid... This was too good of an opportunity to pass up.
"This town looks dead." Michelle said as we walked along the main street. "I don't think we'll find a bar here."
"Lets try up here." I said as I gently, as I pulled her arm and turned right up a laneway. "Maybe there's a jazz club or something up here."
Unbeknownst to her, I had led Michelle towards the address on the paper. The laneway was long & well lit at the start where there we a couple small restaurants, but the lights started to dim as we proceeded farther in.
"That looks like a bar on the corner down there." I said reassuring her "Maybe they're open still."
"Geeze I hope so!" Michelle mocked in an exhausted voice. "My feet hurt & I really want a cocktail."
We approached the red brick stairs & walked up to this large antique looking oak door with a huge brass dragon-head knocker. I knocked once on the door as a loud bang echoed down the laneway. There was no answer so I reluctantly knocked again, but a bit quieter this time.
"Come on honey, they're closed" Michelle said as she started to turn. "I'm sure we'll find another place."
Disappointed, I reached for the knocker and went to give it one more hit. Just as my hand touched it, the door opened and an eery dull red light shone through. It opened all the way and a large man stepped out wearing a white mask similar to the one used in The Phantom of the Opera.
"We've been expecting you" he said in a deep monotone voice, as we stepped into the foyer. "Please wait here and someone will be right with you"
The weight of the door caused it to slam shut in a dramatic style, which made us both jump a little.
"What the fuck?" Michelle mouthed at me silently looking confused. "Expecting us... What is this place?"
"I have no idea" I said. "I thought it was a jazz club."
"If this is a jazz club then I'm drunker than I thought". Michelle whispered at me laughing. "I just wanted a drink."
A woman entered the foyer now & held out two masks and a small card with the number sixty-three written on it.
"You must wear these before you may enter." She spoke in a clear & proper tone. "I'll take your coats to the cloakroom. Hand your card to the attendant to collect them when you're ready to leave"
I looked at Michelle with her mask on. It was a half-face black mask which covered her eyes & nose. There were several feathers standing about 30cm high and the outer rim was lined with gold glitter & fake crystals.
My mask was the exact same white mask our greeter was wearing, which was slightly less interesting but much more intriguing.
The woman returned with a drink for us both. Large martini style glass with red margarita mix which tasted like berries.
"Now we're talking." Michelle said as we followed the woman into the main room. "What is this place?"
The room was large like a hotel lobby. The dark polished floor boards reflected the light coming from the crystal chandelier hanging from the high cathedral style roof. Directly under it in the middle of the room was a large table filled with a range of desserts & fruits.
There was a rather large bar in the back right corner & the entire back wall was one big mirror, making the room look even bigger. The music playing was an operatic drum/base mix, but nothing too over the top or loud.
Above us, a few people stood looking down from the mezzanine which circled the entire room. They were all in masks so I don't know for sure, but it felt like they were staring at us.
The room had a couple large red antique couches & bar had several stools, but aside from that there were no other chairs. This was surprising because there were about nine smaller glass dining tables, scattered throughout the room.
Above the entrance was a big clock which read 8:13pm. The huge double doors at the entrance looked thick & heavy. It took three guys in white masks to close them.
The guests all appeared to be well dressed. There was about 30 men in suits & all wearing the same white mask as me. The women were dressed up in summer & cocktail dresses, but I could only see about nine including Michelle.
There was a dance floor on the left side of the room where one of the women was dancing with four men. "I'm going to dance!" Michelle said smiling as she finished her drink and skipped towards the dance floor.
I found myself a nice cosy spot in the back corner and watched her as five more guys walked onto the dance floor. Of course they went straight to my wife and started dancing close to her.
Michelle doesn't mind the attention. She is a good dancer and loves to do it, but rarely gets the opportunity because I hate dancing, so when she gets the chance to let go & shake her ass she jumps at it.
It was weird seeing two women surrounded by so many guys on the dance floor, but I guess that's what happens in this place. One of the guys had now moved directly behind Michelle and put his arm around here waist. He was pressing his groin into her ass as they both danced in time with the music. Another guy approached from the front and as they danced he managed to work his right leg between hers.
Michelle's dress had ridden up with the dancing and I could see the tops of her black thigh-high stockings & garter straps. With the movement of the dance and the pushing from the guy behind, Michelle was now grinding her crotch into his leg.
The front guy put his hand on her cheek and started to move in to kiss her, but she turned away. He tried again about 30 second later, but this time she pushed him away looking very annoyed and said something which I couldn't hear. When he tried a third time she just walked off the dance floor and came over to me.
"I need another drink." She said obviously still irritated that her dance had been ruined. "I'll go back when there are less assholes around."
We got to the bar and ordered some drinks. I got my usual bourbon and Michelle was presented with the most ridiculously large green cocktail.
"What the fuck is that?" I asked
"It's a Five Island Extacy!" Michelle said with a huge smile on her face. "I didn't know it was going to be this big though."
We both laughed as she took a sip from her dessert bowl size round glass. "Mmmmmm! This is good." She said offering me a sip. "You have to try it."
I took the glass and we found a stool at the end of the bar near the back wall. There was only one free so Michelle sat down & I stood next to her as we talked about the strange room & continued to drink for a while.
"I've got to go to the bathroom." I said, "I'll be back in a minute."
I headed to the back of the room & walked up a dark corridor to the bathrooms to relieve myself.
When I came out there was a masked lady standing in the corridor. "You like to watch?" She asked blocking my path as I just stood there with a confused look on my face. "You like to watch her yes?"
"Sandy" I questioned "Is that you?"
"Yes." She answered. "But you can't use names here."
"What is this place?" I spoke quietly so no one would hear, but sandy just motioned for me to follow her.
