Welcome to the world of Realtor Games.
If this is your first visit, you might want to start at the beginning... part 1. While each part can be read as a stand-alone story, they will make a lot more sense if you read them in sequence. To get to part 1, click on my pen name - "Aaroneous" - and it will take you to a list of all my Literotica stories.
If you are a returning reader, welcome back. This chapter takes a playful look at yet another genre of erotica. I hope you have as much fun reading it as I did writing it.

Flogger Way
Since we spent a lot more time on Full Moon Court than I expected. I suggested we delay our next appointment to the following day. Not to be. Mark was a man on a mission. He was hell bent on buying every available piece of property in town and apparently screwing every available woman ... except me. So, we drove to a two-story colonial in a nice neighborhood on the east side of town.
Mary Catherine Pope met us at the door wearing a conservative dress which hung well below her knees. A row of buttons started at the waist and extended all the way to her neck. Nary a button was undone. Her hair was done up in a school marm bun, her face completely devoid of makeup. Her only jewelry was a small diamond ring snugged up against a thin wedding band. The thirtyish woman peered at us through wire rim spectacles, like she was appraising whether we should be allowed in her house.
"Janis Moorehead... from Southside Realty," I said with my hand outstretched. She didn't shake it or respond in any way. "I called earlier," I added as she continued to inspect me, a frown indicating she either didn't approve of the length of my skirt, the cut of my blouse or realtors in general.
"Come in if you must," she finally said.
I introduced Mark and tried to say something nice about the house, but nothing came to mind. Walls of a nondescript color surrounded a large entry which featured a half dozen poorly framed pictures, all of a religious nature.
"My husband's not here," she blurted out. "Gone to a prayer meeting. But he said you could look around, just make sure you don't touch anything."
Mark took that as an invitation to go exploring and disappeared upstairs, leaving me with the socially challenged homeowner. Mary Catherine led me into a side room right off the entrance which was furnished with a piano, two chairs and a wall of built in bookshelves... half of which appeared to be bibles, the other half hymnals.
"I sing in the choir. That's why there's so many song books," she explained. "You should go. To church. Maybe it would make you change your ways."
I choked down the impulse to say something extremely snarky and, instead, just nodded my head. Like I agreed with her. Which wasn't a total lie. I probably should have considered both going to church and changing my ways.
"That man upstairs--" she began.
"Mark?"
"Yeah. I bet you think he's pretty good looking."
"Yes, now that you mention it, he is rather handsome."
"You should be careful. The devil is deep within him. I can sense it. If I was you, I'd let one of the men realtors show him around the houses from now on."
"I'll keep that in mind, but for the time being, he's my client and so far, he's been a very good one. As a matter of fact, there's an excellent chance he'll make an offer on your house before he leaves."
"Not likely," she said. "Several people already seen the house and none of them want to buy it. Some even had the nerve to say it was haunted."
"Is it?" I asked, half in jest.
"I only believe in one ghost. The Holy Ghost. Being haunted by Him is a good thing."
"So why are you selling?"
"Same as all the rest. There's no jobs in Merryville."
Thankfully, Mark came down the stairs to rescue me from the inane conversation. He poked his head into the room and motioned for me to follow him.
"Excuse me for a minute," I said to Mary Catherine. "My client wants a word in private."
"There's something wrong with this house," Mark whispered once we were in the living room.
"Yeah. It's owned by a complete wacko."
"Besides that. They're missing a room."
"It's listed as a four bedroom. Did you only find three?"
"No. There's four bedrooms upstairs; all nice sized. But look at what they got downstairs. A kitchen, small living room, laundry area and the music room. There's a lot more square-footage upstairs than down, which shouldn't be possible."
He went back to the entrance hall and paced the distance from the front door, through the living area, to the back door. Then he paced the living room, wall to wall.
"I think I got it figured out," he said and led me to the music room where he repeated the maneuver, pacing the distance from one wall to the next.
Mary Catherine nervously nibbled on an unpolished fingernail as she watched in silence.
"Five paces," Mark mumbled to himself. "We're missing five paces, that's about thirteen feet."
He went up to the wall of bookshelves, visually inspected a few, and then pulled a large one off its shelf."
"I told you not to touch anything," Mary Catherine yelled. "Get out. You are no longer welcome here."
Mark reached into the space where the book used to be, fumbled around for a second or two, and then stood back as an entire section of shelving rotated towards us. It was a secret door, leading to a hidden room.
Mary Catherine ran to the rotating shelf and tried to close it. But Mark was already inside.
"If you don't leave immediately..." she began.
"You'll what?" Mark said. "Call the police? I'm sure they'd love to see what you've got in here."
She turned to me. "You brought him here. Make him leave," she begged. "He's got no right to be in there."
"First off, I can't make Mr. Seiman do anything. And if he's going to buy your house, he's entitled to see it all, every room."
"Miss Moorehead," Mark called through the half-opened bookshelf. "You've got to come and see this. You too Mrs. Pope. I want you in here as well. As much as I wouldn't mind spending a few hours in here alone with Miss Moorehead, I don't relish you closing the door behind us."
I waited until Mary Catherine reluctantly trundled into the mysterious room and then followed.
Unlike the rest of the house, this room had a fresh coat of paint. The flooring was upgraded to a highly polished hardwood finish and, instead of religious pictures, the walls, ceiling and floor were covered with whips, chains, cuffs, and other assorted sadomasochistic paraphernalia.
"Oh my God," I said after taking it all in.
"Do not blaspheme in my house," Mary Catherine said.
