pounding painfully in her chest.
    Scarlett
returned then and Carla was startled to see she was completely nude, except for
a slim black leather collar. Strangely enough, Carla had to admit her friend
had never looked more beautiful. Scarlett had always been gorgeous, with her
long legs, beautiful face and long, silky blonde, hair, but she appeared almost
humble this way, with a slight flush to her porcelain skin.  It suited her, Carla
thought to herself.
    Scarlett
knelt at Daniel’s feet, thrusting her breasts up proudly, a content smile on
her face. "May I speak, Master?" she whispered the question
respectfully.
    "Yes
you can, babe." Daniel reached out a hand and lightly caressed her hair.
    "Are
we okay, Carla?" Her eyes lifted to her friend’s, desperate for her to
understand that this what she needed.
    "Scarlett,
I could never not love you." She smiled, fighting the blush that rose to
her cheeks at her friend’s position. "If this is what you truly want, then
you have my blessing."  She meant it, she thought to herself as she kept
her eyes on her friend’s face, not wanting to look at the body on display.
    "This
really means a lot to me, Carla, I would never want to jeopardize our
friendship, but it's been very hard hiding the truth from you."  A
relieved sigh left her lips; it had taken her two years to get up the nerve to
share her secret lifestyle with her friend.
    "Carla,
I'd like to play with my pet, if you're comfortable being here." Daniel
smiled and glanced down at Scarlett with a heated glance.
    "I'm
fine." Though she wouldn’t have admitted it if she had been asked, she was
curious to know what her friend did.
    "Thank
you." Daniel smiled and stood up. "If you get too overwhelmed, please
feel free to return to the buffet upstairs." He held out his hand to Scarlett
and she stood to follow him across the room.
    Left to
her own devices, Carla glanced around the room through lowered lashes.  She had
to bite back a gasp as she noticed a couple on a strange looking bench.  The
male partner had the female bound by her hands and legs and was taking her
forcefully from behind.  She turned her eyes away quickly, feeling as if she
were invading their privacy.
    All around
her people were engaged in sensual acts of pleasure and pain; the smells of sex
and leather were inescapable. She had no idea why, but she found herself
getting excited, and had to cross her legs to stop the strange feelings between
her thighs. Her eyes found Daniel and Scarlett and she thought her heart would
stop.
    Scarlett
was tied to what looked like a cross, her beautiful body stretched taut as Daniel
lashed her back forcefully with a strange whip made from dozens of thick
leather straps. Carla couldn’t take her eyes from the sight; her friend’s moans
of pleasure had her body tingling in ways she'd never known before. 
    She'd
always thought Scarlett was beautiful, and wondered about her own sexuality
because of it, since men didn’t turn her on. She and Scarlett had talked about
it and she had discovered her friend enjoyed both sexes. They’d never done
anything but talk however; Carla had been too scared of risking her friendship.
    Feeling
the strange wetness between her legs she stood quickly and hurried for the
stairs, needing to get out of the room for a moment. She was in such a hurry
she almost slammed into the tall man walking down the stairs. "I'm
sorry," she whispered in embarrassment, raising her eyes to find herself
looking into one of the most beautiful faces she’d ever encountered.
    "Leaving
so soon, princess." His dark blue eyes were filled with humor as he
reached his arms down to steady the slight girl before him. She looked barely
old enough to drink, much less be playing in his dungeon.
    "I, I
just need a drink." Forcing her eyes away from his gorgeous face, Carla
tried to catch her breath. Holy sin, he was beautiful she thought, her eyes
resting on his chest, which was covered by a gray shirt that looked ready
