Chapter 15

Julian arrived at The Raven Room earlier than he thought he would.

He paused, taking in the vibe of the club. He never ventured more than a couple of steps inside before taking in the scene around him: identifying the genre of music being played, smelling which aromas mingled with the defining scent of the club. The time he took to observe his surroundings, short as it was, always revealed to him what he might expect from the night ahead.

Before he moved into the crowd, Julian flexed his toes inside his black leather shoes. He felt the silky touch of his dress socks against the soles of his feet. He gave the left sleeve of his suit a brisk tug, then the right, making sure the crisp, high thread count white dress shirt didn’t poke too far past the cuffs of his jacket. He glanced at the new timepiece on his wrist. On his drive to the club, he realized he had forgotten his watch at home and tonight, because he had an appointment he couldn’t be late for, he needed to keep track of time.

That forced him to stop at a small Chinese gift shop on South Wentworth Avenue and purchase an analog watch in the only style they had. With its circular white face set against a silver-tone case and black synthetic leather strap, he liked the watch, as long as he forced himself to ignore the colorful Hello Kitty graphics.

Noting the time, Julian tucked the watch under his shirt cuff. If he stayed away from the lower floor, which he intended to, he had thirty minutes to watch strangers have sex, or sit by the bar and drink more than he should. Neither sounded appealing to him.

He caught a glimpse of his reflection in the large vintage mirror. He looked confident and in control—the magic of a good suit.

As he reached the second floor, a woman in black lingerie ran into his arms. Half of his whiskey landed on her breasts.

“We’re playing a game,” she said, flustered and out of breath. “Want to join?” She wiped the whiskey off her skin and brought her fingers to her lips, sucking on them with a smile.

“Sure.” Julian sounded more resigned than excited. He yearned for a distraction from what he had come to the club to do.

“Yes!” she shouted, taking his glass away. She reached for his hand.

Julian let her lead him into the Basilisk, the smallest room in the club. There were several people lounging around, draped over large leather couches and chairs, smoking hookahs. The flavored tobacco enveloped him.

“The rules are simple.” The woman covered Julian’s eyes with a blindfold. “You move around the room. You belong to the first person you touch.”

The lighting, coming from several electrical lamps made to look like gas flames on old light fixtures, didn’t permeate the thick fabric of the blindfold. Julian found himself thrown into complete darkness.

“One more thing,” she said, loud enough for everyone around them to hear.

“Before we start, you need to choose the sexual act.
