I enter the restaurant/bar in Key West, wearing a pair of loose fitting khaki shorts, a white polo shirt -- shirt tail loose over the waistband of my shorts, and a pair of sandals. Just divorced, I have taken a short vacation to the island, looking to clear my mind of the past several years of a marriage that, though once hot, had cooled off as she and I had gradually drifted apart.
I take a seat at the bar, not wanting to appear blatantly alone by sitting by myself at the café or in the dining room. As I slide onto the barstool, I look over the bar and silently watch you as you stock the shelf with your back to me. I'm mesmerized as I take in your beauty. You're wearing bright yellow low rise short shorts that cling to your skin like they are painted on and a yellow bikini top that is under a loose, white, gauze like short-sleeved top that you have tied off just below your ribs, leaving your flat stomach exposed so that I can admire the jewelry hanging from your pierced navel.
My mind wanders, watching your shorts ride up to expose that lovely contour between your ass and upper thigh as you bend over to wash some of the barware. I continue watching as your gauzy top rides up to expose more of your skin when you reach up to store the barware in the overhead rack. You notice me in the mirror, turn around with a smile and greet me with "Hey there, I'm Jessica. Welcome to the Key West Café. What can I get you?"
Elsewhere around the establishment was Paul -- the lone waiter on duty tonight -- who is moving about between the outdoor café dining area, the kitchen, and the inside dining room -- which was once the living room and dining room of this former residence, now converted into a seaside eatery.
I extend my hand across the bar to shake your hand and reply "Hi, I'm Eric." Through a bit of small talk, I tell you that this is my first time to the island and came here having heard so much about the interesting combination of a relaxed atmosphere and electrically charged nightlife -- and that the combination of those two seemed to be just what I was needing. "So, surprise me with something tropical that captures that feeling -- both relaxed and electrically charged," I challenge.
"Hmmm," you reply, with a mischievous grin, "I'm sure that I can think of something that will capture the spirit of the area." With that, you pull a glass down from the rack and go about pouring in a measure or two of alcohol, a splash of a tropical fruit juice, and finish it with a spray of some type of soda. Sliding the glass in front of me, you invite me to try a "tropical release." You smile as I lift the glass to my lips and watch my reaction as I taste it. My eyes twinkle as I put the glass down after a rather healthy sip and respond -- "that's exactly the kind of drink that I was looking for."
"It's one of the house specialties," you reply. "I came up with it specifically for people like you, tourists who pass through, wanting a drink that captures the taste of the area." I smile and thank you as you place the bar tab in front of me and then go off to tend to the other customers and service the restaurant clientele.
I immediately feel comfortable in this little place and after a couple of drinks, I order some food from the kitchen and settle in for the evening in this fun little place. You come over from time to time, checking on my comfort and my drink, occasionally stopping to chat a bit when the other bar patrons are all taken care of. Our small conversations go from things to do in the area, stories of how you came to call this place your home, and then a little about how I got here.
**********
My mind and body returned to consciousness with a bit of a jolt -- that is, as much consciousness as I can have without the benefit of sight. Not remembering what has transpired since I left the bar the previous night, my mind races to try to reconstruct the night's events and remember how I ended up in my current state. I struggle to remember anything beyond sitting at the bar, chatting the night away with the attractive bartender and toward the end of the evening being joined at the bar by the waiter, who was killing time waiting for his last table to leave. I knew that I had had quite a few of the delicious concoctions that the bartender had offered, but still could not fill the empty gaps of time between that last conscious memory and now.
Somehow, I had gotten from that seat in the bar to this place, wherever I was. From what I could assess and sense, I had gotten myself into a bit of a situation. By my lack of vision and immobility, I could tell that I was blindfolded with my wrists and ankles sheathed in leather cuffs which were used to bind me in a spread-eagled fashion. I felt a collar around my throat. I definitely had an erection and could feel a restriction at the base of my cock -- I figured that someone had fitted me with a cock ring. My mind races, not at all remembering what had happened between the bar and this moment. I strained to listen for any sounds that might help me remember...anything... Unable to focus, I drift back into unconsciousness...
I have no idea how much time has passed when I am awoken by your soft touch on my upper arm. I feel the warmth of your body as you lean down to whisper in my ear "Are you feeling OK, Eric?"
"I...um....I don't really know...what is going on here?", I reply.
"We have....", she paused to choose her words carefully..."recruited you, Eric. Do you remember our conversations last night? Do you remember telling me how you came down here to cut loose after your divorce? Do you remember how you kept saying that if you got lost down here and never returned, that no one would miss you?"
My mind struggled to remember the conversations of the previous night. I'm sure that the continuous flow of those drinks loosened my tongue quite a bit. The thing is, I must have said all of that stuff -- because all of it was true. "So, what exactly is it that I've been recruited into? -- and, is there any chance that you can take this blindfold off?"
Her warm hands cupped my face and slid the blindfold up to my forehead. Jessica looked down at me as I blinked -- trying to force my eyes to adjust to the light. After a few moments, my eyes were able to take in my surroundings. I could see that I was in a room about the size of an average bedroom and bound to a sturdy four poster bed. I could see an adjoining bathroom and a closet in the room, which was furnished with a dresser, an upholstered chair, a couch and a coffee table. Other than the bound to the bed part of things, it looked to be a comfortable place. Jessica was sitting on the bed next to me, every bit as beautiful as I had remembered her from the night before. She was wearing a black halter top which exposed the tops of her soft breasts and a pair of tight white shorts that clearly showed that there was nothing underneath them. Just the sight of her caused my cock to swell and throb a little in its restraint.
"Eric...", Jessica started. "The Key West Café is a unique establishment. On the street level, we are a restaurant and bar open to the public. Our owner, Mr. Lippincott, is a very influential businessman in Key West. In addition to the café, he operates a private membership club on the premises. This club caters to the needs and comforts of its members, some of who are local residents and some who are people who visit us with some regularity from out of town. Do you understand what I mean by the 'needs and comforts' of the members, Eric?"
