Jennifer sat in a darkened room and reached out with trembling hands as a contract was slid across fine oak table.
"One signature and all your problems are over." Promised Maho, licking her lips with anticipation.

Isao Ito had been working at Core Tech solutions for a couple of months now and still had no idea what the company did. All he knew is they needed a hotshot programmer and didn't know enough about computer programming to realise they were grossly overpaying him. He mainly kept to himself, the building was filled with loud management types who he had no interest in socialising with. Isao far preferred a quiet night at home with his girlfriend over being corralled into strip clubs with forty-something executives.
Nevertheless since he started one of the managers (Isao was unsure which department he managed) had taken it upon himself to make friends with Isao. It was completely out of the blue, a large blonde man in his mid-forties came to Isao's desk, introduced himself as Ed and then never left. Isao didn't mind the company but Ed's loud way of living grated on him and so far he had resisted taking the friendship outside of work. Today Ed came to Isao desk looking even more cheerful than usual.
"Isao, my partner in crime! Tonight's the night." Ed announced. "I'm not taking no for an answer, I got us two tickets to the Rubber Duck for dinner and a show. I'm telling you man, if Elvis came back from the dead and fellated the club owner he still wouldn't get his hands on these. This is going to be the greatest night of our lives."
"Sorry Ed, I've got plans for tonight." Isao replied formulaically.
"Whatever they are cancel them, these are non-refundable and I had to give names to go on the ticket. Listen to me, of everyone in the office you are the person I chose to go with me to a club that once refused entry to Winston Churchill. These tickets probably cost your annual salary, don't make me start crying at your desk." Ed spluttered. Isao had endured his tantrums before, but this was on another level. Remembering that his girlfriend said she would be working late tonight setting up the open day for the nursery she worked at and desperate to have some peace to get his work done he reluctantly nodded.
Ed practically danced across the office and squirrelled himself away. Isao was not looking forward to tonight, but he hoped it would help him get out of future trips without looking unsociable.
...
The day had gone extra fast for Isao and before he knew it he was climbing into Ed's Jeep and being driven into the night. Ed parked fairly close to the city centre, and led Ed down darker and darker alleyways before arriving at a small unassuming door, above which was a small neon sign announcing it as "The Rubber Duck."
Ed knocked in a strange way that Isao assumed was a secret knock and a small slit opened in the door.
"Password?" Asked the deep voice behind the door.
"Oedipus sent me" replied Ed with swagger in his voice. The door swung open and Isao was confronted by 3 bouncers larger than anything he thought possible. They checked their tickets, they checked their ID, they even made them sign disclaimers and hand over their mobile phones. Isao wondered what kind of club took this much effort to get into, then he stepped through the final set of doors and had his answer.
The club had the layout of a vintage dinner theatre, with tables circling a stage and waitresses eagerly buzzing among the crowd. Isao immediately noticed that all the waitresses were completely naked. Their hands were tied behind their backs and they had trays that were attached by a short chain to nipple piercings. They were well made up, with waitresses of all shapes, sizes and colours buzzing between the tables as fast as their obscenely high heels would allow them.
On the stage there were 3 girls strapped into a horizontal triangular apparatus that held them in place with protrusions that went into their intimate areas, they were facing each other and two were kissing while the third screamed and moaned. A scrolling banner sign above explained that the girls were work colleagues from a nearby estate agents, they had been tricked into doing this by their manager, who said it was a teambuilding exercise. Each of the 3 girls had recently had their tongue pierced, their new piercings had light sensors and proximity sensors in them that could tell if it was touching another piercing. Electricity would emit from the apparatus' protrusions inside the girls if the sensor detected it wasn't both touching another piercing and in the dark. This meant that at any one time two of the girls had to open mouth kiss while the third got shocked. It looked like they chose to rotate which meant that every so often they would change so they would take turns at being electrocuted. Isao could feel their deep shame as they looked out over the audience that was watching them intently, occasionally cheering and taunting the unfortunate girls.
Isao was so mesmerised by the sight on stage he didn't notice that he and Ed had moved to the front of the queue and a bleach blonde Indian girl standing in front of him, up close he really drank in the unique look of girls having their hands tied behind their back and a tray attached to their nipples.
"Hello Isao and Ed, my name is Tricia and I will be your table slave tonight." she announced bouncing in front of them. "Please follow me for your table."
