Chapter 8

Shikari

Now, here I am about to see him again and my nerves are fried and all over the place. Breath Shikari. Remember what you decided. Use the emotional pain to inflict the best pleasure you can. Use it. I chant the mantra over and over, so much so that it was like a song playing on repeat. I feel the car start to slow and I know we are close. Mer softly rubs my hand and gives me a questioning look. I know she can feel my nerves, so I close my eyes, take a deep breath and center myself. I open my eyes, my mind is clear and focused. I look at her and smirk, letting her know it's time. Game on Asshat.

The limo stops and the door opens, I step out first. I look up and see what looks like a small historical castle instead of a club. My eyes follow the steps that lead to the main entrance. The entrance was tall with a curved doorway and two taller towers on each side. The grey stone looks old, like it was built in the 19th century, and truly breathtaking.

Mer steps out and stands next to me before we head up the stairs. We both stride with confidence, as if we were royalty and everyone else was beneath us. Just as we reach the door it opens, and I see Alexia.

"Welcome, Mistress." She addresses me first before looking at Mer and greeting her. She isn't being rude, and Mer knows that. We all have our roles and in a club like this, the head dom is basically the head bitch. A role I have become great at playing.

We make our way into the foyer and a man takes our coats. A rush of lust thrusts itself upon me so suddenly it almost makes me lose my balance. I look around and identify the source of the delicious heat, Alexia stares at me in my "uniform" for tonight. I opted for simple and forceful in a black lacquered leather corset cape and a black garter, black sheer stockings with a matching black thong.

The corset pushes my tits higher up making them look like they were two sizes bigger than the DD cup I normally wear and stopped just below my belly button. The attached cape part was long and came down past the back of my knees. The sleeves were tight and elbow length allowing for little arm skin to be shown. I tied the whole ensemble together with my matching black lacquered knee-high six-inch high heeled boots. My hair was left in its natural brown curl and had applied little make up other than a black eyeliner to bring out my hazel eyes and come fuck me red lipstick. I knew I looked hot and by Alexia's reaction, I was correct.

She visually devoures every inch of my body and when our eyes met, I smirked. Letting her know I felt her desire and enjoyed seeing the blush that crossed her face. I couldn't resist the pull of her lust as I stepped up close to her, invading her personal space with my body. I pushed her hair back behind her ear as I leaned in and whispered, "Soon, I'll enjoy making that creamy skin blush under my hand." Another rush of heat came from her and I smiled as I used my tongue and licked the edge of her ear making her shudder.

A deep cough broke us out of the moment, and I looked up and saw the one man I never expected to see again. Our eyes met and I gave him a wicked grin as I gave Alexia a gentle kiss to her neck and whispered, "Soon", and pulled back. I take my place back next to Mer and I see her trying to hold back her own grin.

Birsha was now accompanied by another man. He's dressed impeccably in his black Armani suite with a deep red tie. He's handsome with his blonde hair tied back, but his blue eyes show his true self, and this man…is evil. I can feel his essence and I know without a doubt he's someone we need to get close too. I lean into Birsha, careful not to actually touch him, to greet him.

"Birsha, how lovely to see you again." I say as I give him a chaste cheek kiss on each side of his face and quickly pull back. I was surprised to feel his desire seep into me as if it never left. It always tasted of home, like going back in time and tasting the one meal you loved the most as a child, That is his own personal flavor, the desire he carries that seems to still soothe my inner beast completely.

"It's a pleasure as always, Mistress. My father sends his regards." His greeting is stiff and business-like, as it should be.

"I miss him dearly. I'll have to meet up with him soon. It's been far too long.How are things in his world?" I make small talk, playing my role as I have practiced and worked through.

After a moment of small talk he straightens, "This is my partner, Zaneon." He guestures to the man next to him.

"Oh, how lovely. I didn't know you had a partner after all this time. It explains so much." The moment the words left my mouth, I immediately regretted it. I knew he meant business partner; however, I couldn't stop the words before they came out. Oh well. Too late now Shikari, just play dumb.

"I apologize, you misunderstand. He's my business partner." He said with an awkward chuckle and I saw Zaneon shift his legs clearly uncomfortable with being considered anything more to Birsha.

"Oh no, my apologies for my mistake. It's an honor to meet you, Zaneon. I've heard many wonderful things about your club." I turn my body slightly away from Birsha and turn my full attention to Zaneon. He looks me up and down, as if he is inspecting every inch of my body. I step back slightly to give him a better view and do a slow turn so he could get a full view. When our eyes met, he smirks, and I meet his smirk with my own.

"I've heard many wonderful things about you as well Mistress." His voice is deep, husky, and harsh, and although it's sexy, it has a dark undertone to it. His desire starts to slither around me like a slithering snake in the grass and the taste is as bitter as stale beer. The feeling gives me a chill to the core that makes me take a step back to break the connection. He must have noticed because his smirk turned into a nasty grin and I could see the darkness cloud his eyes.

Knowing I must not show any signs of weakness, I step up to him and run my fingers down his tie, never breaking eye contact. I lean in closer, and allow my seductive powers to come out. I ask, "Will I get to play with you?"

I see the look of pleasure cross his face but before he could respond, Alexia used that moment to say, "Actually Mistress, your trial will be with me." My eyes don't leave Zaneon's until he breaks eye contact first. I know that he was trying to see if I would buckle under his pressure, however, what he doesn't know is I will never bow for another man again. He's nothing compared to my determination. After a moment I can see he realizes he will not win, and he breaks the connection first looking toward Alexia. I turn a second after to follow his gaze.

"Well, now that's a delight. I have long awaited the feel of your skin beneath mine. What a treat for me." I give her a quick wink and turn back to Zaneon and ask, "Shall we get started?" I need to get out of this foyer as soon as possible. The disgusting feel of his desire is stuck on my skin like a thin layer of sap is covering me. I need a long hot bath, YUCK.

"Mistress, please follow me. Merianna please follow Birsha, he will show you to the bar and introduce you to the bar manager, and staff. If you need anything at all, please come to me directly. I'm the Mistress as well as your personal assistant during your time here." Alexia tells us as she starts to lead us through the foyer.

I nod a goodbye to Zaneon as we walk past him with Birsha following behind us. As we walk, I think about how good he looked in his grey suit and black tie. He hasn't changed one bit, still dark and sexy. Fuck, stop thinking of him. I scold myself as we pass multiple rooms. Birsha, takes his leave with Mer and Alexia leads me into the main hall that leads to what they call the "playroom".

"That was an interesting introduction. I'm impressed. You truly have changed these years." Alexia comments as we walk. I know she isn't wrong and there isn't much to say in response, so I simply shrug.

I follow just a step behind her as I let my eyes wander on her hips as they sway back and forth as she walks. She's wearing a loose fitting long black dress that dips so low in the back it hardly covers the tip of her ass, before a long slit opens at the bottom of her ass. Allowing for a divine show of her sexy legs. I watch her back flex as her hips move and I feel the first strokes of excitement hit me. Her long slick black hair falls down gracefully upon her back. I can't wait to fist that hair between my fingers as I pound her from behind.

"I look forward to that as well," she says with a hint of amusement in her voice.

"Ah, I forgot you can hear thoughts." I smile to myself knowing I didn't forget. I want her to visualize her desires. Once she does that I can tap into those images and turn them into her reality. It's one of the few gifts I have that I never shared with anyone, as well as my gift to shield my thoughts from any creature.
