Iâm naked.
Iâm naked with a collar around my neck and a butt plug attached to a tail up my ass.
I am naked, being escorted by a leash into an old historic bank to what is secretly known as The Vault, full of men who watch our every move as we enter.
There is a man wearing a dark suit, a black cloak with a hood, and a mask standing behind the counter as a bank teller would. The mask is demonic and conceals who the man is behind it.
âThatâs The Vault Keeper,â Apollo says as he guides us in his direction. âGet your secret ready.â
Secret? Iâve heard that giving a secret is the only way in, but I hadnât really planned on doing it, and I have no idea what to even write down. How truthful does Apollo want me to be? I was told that once I marry a Godwin, I never reveal a single secret. Never.
We approach the window, and The Vault Keeper pushes two pieces of heavy card stock and two Mont Blanc pens in our direction. I see dark eyes behind the mask but canât see anything that humanizes this person at all beyond that. Even his hands are covered in black leather gloves.
Apollo quickly takes the paper and pen and starts writing something down. I donât dare try to peek even though I want to. What secret is he writing? What is he willing to tell a complete stranger? Godwins are known for their ability to keep secrets. Itâs one of the main reasons that they donât believe in divorce. Once you marry into the family, you are privy to the secrets that live inside their walls. Never would they allow someone to have access and then leave with the knowledge. That would be them willingly giving power away. Godwins donât give power away.
Before I even start writing my secret down, Apollo folds his paper and hands it to The Vault Keeper. The masked person takes a minute to read it, folds it again, puts it into a safety deposit box, and nods his or her approval. I assume The Vault Keeper is a man, but there is no real way of knowing. They both then look at me, waiting for me to write something down.
I quickly write down that I was the one who turned Apollo in for killing a man. I assume that itâs a secret worthy enough of getting into The Vault, and if it upsets Apollo I gave such a secret, well thatâs on him. Itâs his fault for taking me here to begin with. The Vault Keeper reads it, glances at Apollo, and then nods his head in approval as he puts my secret into the locked box as well. The Vault Keeper then nods his head again and points to a staircase that leads beneath the bank. It appears as if we earned our key into the secret club.
As we walk down the stairs, the only thing that my mind can focus on is the smell of food.
