but slightly vulnerable. As a sub,
she’d be perfect if that was her inclination. He didn’t like subs who had no
mind of their own. They were overly dependent, needy. Too bad she had no
experience.
    “Hey, Emma.” Carter walked over and gave her a kiss on the
cheek. “Meet our friend, Adrian Cayne.”
    They shook hands and exchanged greetings. For a newbie she
didn’t seem that nervous or managed to cover it up well.
    “Emma is a caretaker at an animal shelter,” Carter said.
“And Adrian’s a doctor.”
    “What specialty?” Emma asked.
    “Neurosurgery,” Adrian said. “What kinds of animals have you
cared for?”
    “Mostly dogs and cats. When I worked at Animal Kingdom, I
had a chance to work with all types.”
    “What brought you down here?” Adrian asked.
    “It was… A number of things brought about the relocation.”
She didn’t explain.
    Maybe she moved with a boyfriend and it didn’t work out. He
wasn’t going to press.
    “I just love this room,” Cynthia said, changing the subject
as she gazed out toward the ocean. “It’s still quiet, but on busy nights, this
room is full of guests. You usually won’t see couples or groups having sex out
here, just touching, sometimes getting naked. Hard-core stuff goes on in the
rooms.”
    “Has anyone explained the rules yet?” Carter asked Emma.
    “Not completely.”
    “An open door is an invitation to watch,” Adrian offered.
“Those playing inside a room must invite you in. Guests can’t just waltz in
during a group scene. It’s rather rude and you’ll probably get thrown out. If
there are enough complaints, a guest can be asked to leave the club.” He
watched her expression. A Dom could pick up the smallest telltales. He focused
his attention on her soft, hazel eyes. She was looking at him and around the
room, alert, taking in every detail. The muscles in her jaw and long neck were
relaxed but she gripped the strap of her purse with a tight fist.
    Adrian had numerous encounters in here over the years. Eager
subs anxiously anticipating a scene. Could she be his next eager sub? Or was
she a newbie who thought she might like bondage only to freak out the moment
she had to give up a little control? That was the disadvantage of taking on a
new submissive.
    “Dark Odyssey was overdue,” Carter explained to Emma. “The
one semi-bondage room with a restraint table and swing was very popular.
Patrons kept requesting more rooms with better bondage equipment.” He pointed
the way toward a long hallway where the old playrooms were. He described the
rules—how no meant no. If any guest approached her and she told him no and was
still pressured, then tell one of the guys in the black TropiX T-shirts.
    Adrian stood beside her. “You’re not saying much?”
    She jumped and looked up at him. “I’m taking it all in. This
is new for me.”
    “Adrian!” a woman called from across the room. It took him a
moment but he recognized the voice. Every muscle in his body tensed. If he had
known she would be here, he wouldn’t have come.
    Jill strutted across the room in killer platform heels and a
slinky silvery-white dress that was practically see-through. Her brown hair was
longer since he’d seen her last, pulled back from her shoulders. More of her
breasts hung out of the dress than were contained. Her rosy areolas showed
through the flimsy material. Sliding between Adrian and Emma, her back rudely
facing Emma, she put her arms around him and kissed him. “I’ve missed you,
Master. So glad to see you’re back. Will you take me to Dark Odyssey this
evening?” She lowered her head and slid her hands down his chest.
    Grasping her hands, Adrian gently pulled them away. “Good to
see you, Jill. I’m with friends this evening.” He stepped back to introduce
Emma, Cynthia and Carter.
    Jill gave Emma a quick up-and-down glance and apparently
decided she wasn’t competition. “Would you like me to give you all a tour of
Dark Odyssey?” She hooked
