Introduction:

When Lana Matthews, a psychology major at Seattle University, is reluctantly dragged by her roommate to an exclusive S&M club called The Looking Glass, she is mesmerized by the displays of lust, curious about the unconventional props such as a wooden throne, a giant steel spider web, and a giant birdcage, and she is intimidated by the exhibition portion of the evening, a time when each Dom displays his unique talents. She unexpectedly wins an evening with the clubs top performer, the elusive Dom 241, who satisfies her carnal desires and unleashes a primal urge deep inside her, a dark side of her that she never knew existed, and leaves her craving more of him.

Enzio Salazar has been Lanas best friend since they were young, and although he confessed his love for her numerous times, she reaffirmed each time that she wanted to remain friends.

The two of them are now attending the same university, but Enzio seems different at times, and Lana cannot figure out what has changed. When she notices a partially opened package in front of Enzios dorm room, curiosity gets the best of her, and she takes it to her room, discovering a leather garment inside. She puts it on, silently complaining of its tightness, and notices two metal latches. Connecting them, she hears a chime and the latches become locked in place, making the outfit impossible to remove. Wondering why Enzio would order such an outfit, she is stunned to learn that he dabbles in S&M, and she realizes how little she actually knows about him, like where he works, or who he may be, other than her beloved Enzio.

Chapter One:

Dark Desires

That night, like most nights, began rather innocently. Lana Matthews was simply studying for a social psychology exam when her roommate, Marie, sent her a text message.

Hey, what are you doing? Marie

Im studying, why? Lana

My friend Hannah is in town today and she has three tickets to a very exclusive club. Wanna come? Marie

I dont know. I really need to pass this class. Lana

Ill help you study! Please come out! Marie

IDK Lana

PLEEASEE! Marie

Ugh, fine. Whats the address? Lana

As soon as she received the address, she called a cab, quickly put on a nice pair of panties, a tight black dress that highlighted her breasts and tight ass, and with little to no effort, fixed her hair in a tight ponytail and headed out the door while applying her makeup. About halfway down the hall, she stopped in front of a door and knocked. Enzio? She knocked a little harder, Enzio, are you in? No answer. Hes probably working. She gave a small frown and continued to walk toward the elevator just as the cab honked its horn.

The cab took her about seventeen miles from the campus, to the heart of Seattle, and stopped in front of a boarded up warehouse where her roommate, Marie, and her friend, Hannah, a debutante she had met at her fathers restaurant back in New York, were standing on the corner. As soon as Lana stepped out of the vehicle, Marie quickly grabbed her and hurried them inside where there were two buff men, one white and one black, in their early twenties, shirtless, and wearing skinny jeans, standing behind what looked like a coat check room.

The large hallway appeared to be spotless and smelled like a clinic. She looked at the men and women in their tuxedos and evening dresses parting ways to the long hallways on either side of the freight elevator in the center, all of them stopping to say hello to a muscular, shirtless man wearing a ninja mask and baggy light blue jeans. Evening, House Dom, each of them respectfully said to him just before parting down the hallways. Hi, Im Hannah Roberts, and I brought two guests with me. Lana looked at the man in the mask who appeared to be staring at her with wide eyes, almost as if he was surprised to see her, but she didnt know why. Lana then looked over at the two men in the coat check room as they gave Hannah three sets of keys. She quickly turned around and let out a wicked smile, Follow me, ladies, she laughed.

Marie took her by the hand and they followed Hannah as she stopped in front of the man in the mask. Evening, House Dom, she spoke with much sincerity. He nodded and then looked at the two of them. EEvening, House Dom, Lana and Marie spoke at once. Again, the man in the mask simply stared at Lana for a while, making her feel slightly uncomfortable, before nodding at the two of them. The three girls walked down the hallway to the right, which led to a large locker room, but before they could step inside, a young athletic woman with olive skin and long onyx hair appeared.

Lana was taken aback by how beautiful she was. Her body was tight and firm. She wasnt wearing a bra underneath the gray tank top and yet her large double Ds hung perfectly. The woman looked at them before stretching her plump juicy lips into a smile. Hannah stopped immediately in front of her and said, Good evening, Rachel.

Good evening, Ms. Roberts. Its been quite some time since you have been to our establishment, she said, removing a large cotton swab. I see that you brought new friends this time around. Hannah simply smiled and eagerly opened her mouth. Lana watched as Rachel swabbed her mouth, placed it into a tube, and wrote Hannahs full name on it. A second later, Marie was front and center with her mouth wide open, and although it made her feel a bit uncomfortable, Lana did it as well. Then the phone beside Rachel rang and she promptly picked it up, placed the receiver in her ear for a second, and hung it up. She then looked down the hallway. Dom! she yelled, and the man in the mask leaned into their sight. She wants to see you, Rachel laughed, but the man in the mask simply nodded and walked away. Rachel then looked at them, Please enjoy your time at The Looking Glass.

As they entered the locker room there was a large wooden sign that was impossible not to see from all angles. It said: Welcome to The Looking Glass. Before you can enter, please abide by these simple common sense rules:

1. All cell phones and recording devices must be turned off and placed inside your locker.
2. All Guests are required to check all clothing into a locker.
3. All Guests must take full showers before entering The Looking Glass.
