The bell on the door jingles, welcoming me to the domain of men. Sent here on instruction, and I hoped to a god I didn't believe in that I was in the right place.
Master didn't tell me any details other than to show up and do whatever I'm told.
It was dark, dingy, and stank of sweat. The rows of movies were too close together to avoid a second glance, and the movies seemed to have been thrown onto the shelves.
My tank top begins to stick to my skin. The heat of the place intensifies the claustrophobic feeling.
"Can I help yew?" a man drawls from behind the counter. His eyes graze over my body, slowly, casually. I'm made conscious of my legs, wholly naked but for the tube top used as a scandalously short skirt.
"Er, yes. I'm supposed to ask about the back room?"
He jerks his chin upward, indicating a door in the back right corner of the shop.
I'd stutter out a thank you, but adrenaline floods my system. My legs feel at once cold and heavy. The carpet, trying to snag my heels, is full of holes and suspicious-looking stains.
I open the door into complete darkness and turn around, confused. The clerk at the front waves me on.
I'm not three steps in before the door is closed.
Blackness. Silence. The smell of sweat is even more pervasive, and it's mingled with the musk of sex. No, not sex- hard, loveless fucking.
