Chapter Eleven

Everyone Loves a Party

GWEN

I gave Ricki the orientation checklist when we had lunch the day of the party. We were sitting at the kitchen table where we could grab a quick bite without the help of any staff. On party days they were all sent home early except for Jamison, who manned the door, and our security staff.

I pointed to the section on the paper about rope suspension. “I wasn’t exactly sure what to put here.”

Ricki took a pen out of the caddy on the table and wrote something.

“What are you putting down?”

“That no one should try to use the suspension rig in the Inquisition Room without first having a one-on-one training session with an approved senior member, and there must be one monitor on duty during any scene.” She met my eyes over the top of the paper. “Though no one but me and Axel have dared to use it so far.”

“Well, this group is mostly older. You have to be kind of in good shape for rope suspension,” I said, knowing that probably wasn’t the reason they avoided rope.

Ricki wrinkled her nose but didn’t argue. We’d always known our mother had died in some kind of accident, but we hadn’t learned that it was a bondage accident until several months ago. Ricki had been really shaken by it. I had a feeling a lot of the reason she and Axel had gotten into rope was that it was helping her work out her issues about it.

I hadn’t felt the impact as hard because I didn’t have any memories of our mother at all, really. When we’d found out, I’d already long since explored my kinky side. If anything, finding out my mother had been into bondage had given me something to feel kinship with her about, and it had validated my feelings a lot. You know, the acorn doesn’t fall far from the oak.

But rope suspension wasn’t particularly an interest of mine. Obviously there were safety concerns, too—not because rope suspension was so much more dangerous than other things, but because it would have seemed extra tragic if an accident were to occur, given the family history. I didn’t like tempting fate.

Speaking of which: “So, we didn’t have any rule at all concerning fire play, but I thought we should put one in prohibiting it.”

“Oh, has someone asked about doing it?”

“Um, no,” I lied. “I just saw a how-to on YouTube, and it seems to be getting popular.” Well, it wasn’t a total lie: I actually had watched a YouTube video to find out more about it and concluded that generally speaking, Mal had done almost everything right. The way I remembered the accident, I’d kicked my leg and jostled his arm holding the flame and that’s what had set my wig on fire. If we were ever going to do something like that again, I’d know not to wear a flammable wig and to keep still if I wasn’t tied down.

But what were the chances I was going to convince Mal to get over himself enough to try it again? Slim, perhaps.
