Chapter 3: Beyond the Black Door

The oak door creaked opened to Madam Cecilia’s touch, and we stepped into a chamber made out to look like a medieval tower, with stone-facing halfway up the walls, the floor tiles a dark slate, cool and smooth beneath my stocking-clad feet. The only light came from wrought-iron candelabra dangling from the ceiling, and heavy black and red rapes covered the windows and ran about the room, counterpoint to the implements and metal equipment on display.

Racks, pillories, padded coffins, whipping posts, benches, spreaders, stocks, cages and all manner of wings, suspension bars and other things I couldn’t put a name too—cruel, wicked things—stacked on tables, fireplaces or hung from pegs on walls and in racks. Oddly, this room was also barren of women, not even the promised Audrey Pussycakes—who was more than likely Regina Waxe, the target of my investigation.

I gulped, feeling trepidatious. This may have been a door too far. These implements looked dangerous, and Regina had gone missing. What if she’d gotten hurt in here—even died? And they’d done away with her body? Suddenly this didn’t seem like such a fun game anymore.

“What’s wrong dear? You look as if you’ve seen a ghost.” Madam Cecilia smiled as we stood just inside the door. “It’s all right to back out if these toys look too intimidating for you, especially on a first visit.”

“No, it’s all right—better have a look around.”

She nodded, approving. “Of course. Now one important rule about this room compared to all of the others is that only a Trained Madam, such as myself or Frances—you met her, she’s watching the door this evening—are allowed to discipline and correct Maids in here. If an inexperienced girl tried to use this equipment, she’d likely hurt herself and her friend. If no Madams are available, the door stays locked, no exceptions.”

“I understand,” I said, eyeing the dangerous gear warily. “Sounds like a wise precaution.”

“Indeed it is. Now, if you’d like to play, I will go gentle on you as it’s your first time, or you can watch me discipline Audrey. I’d been working her over before you turned up, but a proper submissive takes well to the box.”

“Perhaps I’ll watch a bit first,” I said.

“Wonderful.” She went over to a lidded coffin, then opened it. I followed her over and looked inside. Lying within, her hands manacled together, her mouth restrained by an elaborate leather harness and gag, her body otherwise entirely nude save for some straps and contraptions around her groin, lay a fair-skinned, auburn-haired woman.

I looked closer at her face. Sweat covered her forehead and her eyes blinked against the sudden intrusion of light—I assumed that she’d been left in this coffin ever since Madam Cecilia came downstairs to give me this tour, possibly longer. But beside her nose lay a small mole, almost unnoticeable as it nearly matched the color of her skin. Here was the missing Regina!

I studied the contraption around her groin. It looked like a series of leather
