Dominance & Submission

Hello, I'm R. A. Kennison, and I'm excited to share my work with you all. I apologize for not having anything posted until now.  Please note that there will be explicit content. This is my first b**m erotica, and as such, I'm open to feedback from my readers and future followers. This is also my first story not based on fanfiction, and again, I am open to critique. I hope you enjoy reading as much as I enjoyed writing. -~-~-~-~- Masquerade - Part I New York City.  It was lively: bright with lighting. Lighting from the street lamps, lighting from the business signs, even lighting from the other residents of the city out and about on the town. There were a few people traveling the streets alone, such as herself, walking to wherever they were going. Some were traveling in groups of two or three, yet, most of the parties Lina passed by were in groups of four and more.  New York City; it was the city that never slept. It was already nighttime, approximately an hour and a half from New Year’s Eve, which meant that any and everybody who was somebody, or perhaps a nobody, was out and about.  However, Lina knew that in the dark was when all the players came out of their hiding holes to play their little games and to suck up whatever pleasure they could from their boring, miserable lives. Lina paid them no mind as she walked to her destination. She was more so focused on two things: one being not wanting to freeze her ass off, which she was failing horribly at if she may add, hence her hankering to walk quickly; the second being her destination, DON.  A gust of wind blew past Lina, forcing a curse to form in her mind at the weather and her own foolishness for getting out of her ride a few blocks away from her destination. She was so worried about wanting to keep the cab driver, who seemed more interested in doing her than doing his job, out of the loop on where specifically she was going that she completely forgot that the weather was smack-jab in the middle of winter. Well, it wasn’t so much that she forgot; it was more so that she honestly believed that she would be able to withstand the cold air, given that she traveled in a cab most of the way.  She shivered when the low-temperature air hit her face, causing her to lift a part of the large, violet colored fur and suede shawl that was draped around her petite frame closer up to her exposed flesh; which in turn, successfully blocked out anymore cold air that she might have possibly felt. As Lina walked, in an attempt to take her mind off her frozen ass cheeks, she thought back to how she found herself, walking through the city on a late-December night. ---[Earlier that week]--- “I’m telling you, Lina, that place gave me ultimate creep vibes,” Lina’s roommate, Joy, dramatically stated. She had just placed more wood into the pit and was idly poking at the roaring fire in the fireplace. She did that for a few moments before standing up and plopping down next to Lina, who was currently curled up on their living room couch, under a fleece blanket. Her computer was propped up on the arm rest while her fingers moved fluidly over the black keys. "Are you even listening to me?" Joy asked as she mindlessly fiddled with one of the various throw pillows when Lina didn't reply after a few moments. She gave a small grunt of affirmation in response, to which Joy scoffed out loud with disbelief in return. Lina stopped typing and looked at her roommate with narrowed eyes, taking in her features. Chu Jun Hee, “Joy” as she liked to be called, was of Korean-Chinese descent. She had a set of dark eyes, which had a natural squint to them, with a thin, black cat liner going across the upper eyelid. Her nose was fairly normal; not too big, not too pointy. It was perfectly sized to her face, accentuating her high cheekbones. Her lips were plump and held a red tint to it and just beneath them, a pair of buck teeth poked out slightly. She had pin-straight black hair, parted in the center, that fell between her shoulder blades in a straight, blunt cut. One side of her hair was pushed back behind her ear, showing off her square jawline and large, round ears. Her eyebrows were perfectly plucked and arched and her clear olive complexion had a rose-y tint in her cheeks.  "I am listening." Jocelyn crossed her arms and shot up an eyebrow, as if to say she didn't truly believe Lina.  "I am!" Lina exclaimed after a few seconds of Jocelyn merely sitting there, staring at her in the manner she did. She truly was listening to her friend, she just wasn't focused on her; at least not entirely. In her defense, it was early, very early, in the morning; 2 AM to be exact, and her paper was due in just a few hours. It was already complete, Lina was just making final adjustments on it such as editing and grammar checks. And if she were being completely honest, she would rather her main focus to be her work than on her roommate's incessant complaining.  "Then what was I talking about?" Joy asked with a particular tone in her voice.  "Are you serious right now?" "Very." Suppressing the urge to sigh loudly, Lina let out a calming breath and replied, "You were talking about how uncomfortable you felt tonight at that 'weirdo club' as you put it."  She raised her hands to do air quotes at the words 'weirdo club' while speaking. Having proved to Jocelyn that Lina was, in fact, listening, she visibly changed her demeanor. Her expression filled with disbelief returned to one of casualness and her fingers resumed playing with the pillow currently occupying her lap. “So what was it like?” Lina asked absentmindedly as she continued editing her paper. For a few minutes, Joy didn’t reply. Lina assumed maybe she had fallen asleep and turned back to look at her roommate, only to find her wide awake, her fingers still working the cushion. Lina gave her a look, partially in confusion for Joy’s silence. The main piece was asking her if she was going to answer her question, especially after Joy had just grilled her the way she did for not listening, which in fact she was.  For a few minutes, the only sound Lina could hear was the going fire a few feet away. She thought it was kind of odd of her to be so silent so quickly; however, she shrugged it off and went back to finishing the rest of her assignment, chalking it up to Joy sharing when she was ready again.  After ten whole minutes passed by, Joy started speaking, “It was overwhelming.” Finally finished, Lina closed her Macbook and turned to face her friend and roommate, “What about it was overwhelming?”  “People were f*****g,” Joy blurted out. A look mixed of shock and disbelief fell on Lina’s face.  “People were f*****g?” She asked repetitively. “Yes.” Joy replied plainly “In the club?” Again, she asked repetitively. “Yes,” Joy replied, this time with mild irritation in her tone. “Actually f*****g?” Lina repeated for the third time. “Yes!” Joy exclaimed. Lina could tell she couldn’t believe it herself, even though she’s the one that experienced it. “How did you even come across this establishment anyhow?” Lina asked. “My agency just booked with this very well known designer and he invited all the models to a private party that night.” Lina’s eyes narrowed, “Mm… I’m pretty sure that's harassment.” “What?!” Joy exclaimed, “what do you mean?” “Technically, this new designer is somewhat a boss of yours now, right?”  Joy nodded. “Exactly. Your boss inviting you to a s*x club. Pretty sure that’s s****l harassment,” Lina stated matter-of-factly. Joy scoffed in response,  “No it is not. I didn’t have s*x, nor was I asked or forced to engage in anything remotely s****l. No one was sexually harassed. My goodness, you law majors irk the s**t out of me.” Lina rolled her eyes, merely brushing off her last few words. “Anyway, they invited me back again this weekend. Come with me please?” “Huh?!” Lina’s eyes went wide. Her friend surely wasn’t serious. “Why should I do that after being told such a contemptuous thing about this place?” “Becauseee…,” Joy dragged out, “I never said I disliked the place.” “You just said it gave it 'ultimate creep vibes’,” Lina replied. “Well yeah, because I was alone. And it was completely unexpected. With you there, I’ll feel more comfortable. Besides, I know you’re a little freak yourself,” Lina’s eyes rolled once again at her friend’s joke.  After a few moments of silence between them, her staring blankly in response to Joy’s pouting face, Lina gave out a loud sigh, “Alrighttt, I’ll go.” A loud squeal of excitement escaped Joy followed by a smile falling on her face, exposing her perfect teeth. “But you have to buy me an outfit. You’ve been there, you’re aware of how they dress.” “Yeah, okay.” “Nothing flashy. Something simple and sexy enough for me to fit in and not ruffle anyone’s feathers.” “Okay,” Joy agreed again. She was just excited that Lina said yes, Lina knew she didn’t give a damn about complying with her terms. “Get some sleep, we’ll go shopping tomorrow after class. Good night fren,” Joy said. “Night fren,” Lina replied with a small smile. Joy smiled back widely as she tossed the pillow aside and made her way upstairs. Lina heard a door open and then close; and once again, Lina found herself surrounded in silence. She sighed lightly and placed her Macbook on the coffee table. She then grabbed her iPhone and set her alarm before she pulled the fleece throw fully around herself and curled up on the couch. Given her fatigue, it wasn’t hard for her to push aside her current thoughts and allow the silence paired with the warmth of the fireplace to lull her into a few hours of peaceful sleep.  ---[Present time]--- Realizing that she was nearing her destination, Lina was pulled from her memories and back to reality. She walked to the side and pulled out her phone and checked her GPS to make sure she was really going in the right direction. After determining that she was, she then checked how far, or rather close, she was. When her GPS showed the club to be down the block she was currently on, she let out a happy sigh. She hadn’t walked far at all, it’s just that she wasn’t wearing shoes meant to be walked in. She was wearing a sit and look sexy kind of shoe. Still, Lina pushed the thought of her shoes aside and returned to what she was really doing. She continued walking down the block, weaving her way through the crowd.  The club was located inside a six story warehouse. It featured large glass-paned windows and nearly all of the exterior consisted of dirty, dark brown bricks. Before coming out, Lina had done her fair share of research and found out that DON was quite a popular club. The lower levels were the actual dance club, the upper levels comprised the lounge which connected to the rooftop bar and pool, the lounge was members-only access. Knowing how raved about the club was, Lina wasn’t surprised to find a long line outside the entrance; if fact, she expected it because Joy told her as such.  “Hey, there’s no cutting, sweetheart,” A random man called out to her when he noticed she was walking past the line. There were a few people that let out sounds of agreement, yet Lina paid them no mind and continued walking to the entrance. Following her friend’s instructions, Lina pulled out her ID and the invitation given to her from Joy and approached the security guard at the front of the line.  She handed them both to the man, and as he looked over her credentials, Lina looked over him. He was large, perhaps close to 7 feet tall if she had to guess, and packed with muscle. His bulked out physique was covered in a long sleeve black turtleneck and black pants. He wore black snow boots, black gloves and a black hat. His outerwear consisted of a large black coat, the words ‘DON SECURITY’ were printed on the back in white. ‘DON’ was printed as the regular logo of the club and ‘security’ was printed in normal block letters. Lina also noticed the logo of the club was stitched into his hat as well.  Lina watched as he looked at her ID, then the invite. He then pulled out a clipboard with a small stack of papers attached. He checked it once before placing the clipboard back under his arm and handing her back her ID and the invitation.  “You’re on the list. Hold out your wrist,” He said, Lina complied, holding out her left arm. He attached two bands to her, one yellow and one orange, “the yellow gives you general access to the main club. The orange gives you unlimited drinks and access to the private lounge and rooftop. Enjoy your night and Happy New Year’s, Miss.” He stepped aside and opened the door for her. She thanked him, bid him Happy New Years in return and entered the club.  Lina stepped into the foyer of the club. There was a hallway to the right leading to the bathrooms. The entrance to the club was off to the left and up a few steps, Lina noted they were made of marble, and three elevators were located straight ahead. Lina decided to head to the bathroom first, wanting to check over herself before meeting up with Joy, who was already there with the rest of her modeling agency.  The women’s bathroom was quite spectacular in Lina’s opinion. There was a main area with a couch and a small rectangular table next to it. A neat stack of magazines rested on top along with a stack of glasses and a pitcher of water. There was also a stack of napkins as well. There was also a countertop, it was bare because it’s purpose is for guests to have somewhere to place their belongings if they need to. A plush rug as well as a few flowers were strategically placed to add to the overall decorum. There were three doors leading to three different stalls, each one of them having a number on  the door. The lighting was dimmed, however, Lina found out she could adjust the lighting inside the stall. Inside the bathroom stall was a toilet and a countertop with a pure white sink. A large floor to ceiling mirror was attached to one of the walls. An electric hand dryer was attached to the wall next to the sink and a plain white plant in a beautiful kaleidoscope vase sat in the far corner, tucked next to the toilet along with a medium sized wastebasket. The floors were made of tan tiling while the walls were a contemporary style black paneling. When the lights were dim enough, Lina could see a sliver of white light peek out around the edges of the paneling.  Lina unwrapped the large shawl from around her body and placed it on the counter. She then walked over to the full mirror and took in her features. She was wearing a plum colored, floor-length dress. The top was a bodice that accentuated her medium sized breasts and slim waist, the middle was form fitting around her hips and butt to just above her knees, making her fairly large ass look bigger than it already was. The lower end of the dress fell into a mermaid cut with a small train. Going over the surface of the dress was a plum colored lace embroidered in a floral design. It took up the entire bodice and became more sparse going down and then became full once more around the hem of the dress.  Satisfied with her dress, she stepped in a bit closer to the mirror in order to check how her make up looked. Her eyes, which were a normal almond size and shape, looked smaller and more intense from the dramatic eyeliner and long wispy lashes. Lina loved wispies, they gave her the dramatic length and thickness she liked from the mix of short and long lashes together. To add to her look, she also added a few individual pieces to her lower lashes and white liner along her water line. Her nose was flat and her nostrils were wide set. She had full lips painted a nude brown, to match her medium brown complexion. Her naturally black hair was braided back under a straight, shoulder length ashy blonde wig. A thin bang fell over her forehead and one side was pushed behind her ear, showing off her two small gold earrings. To tie her entire look together, she had on a pair of silver pumps covered in stones and a mini sized grey Chanel clutch with two jeweled circular handles and the distinguishing double c on the front of it.  Feeling content with her appearance overall, Lina pulled out her phone and facetimed Joy. After a few rings, she answered. “Lina, where are you? Are you here yet?” Joy asked from the other end of the video call. She nodded, “Yeah, I’m in the lobby, not sure where to go exactly.” “Alright. I’ll be down shortly. I’m coming.” The call ended. Lina stood there looking at her phone, she had surmised that Joy was either drunk or nearly there. With a distended sigh, Lina wrapped her plum colored fur and suede shawl around her form and exited the restroom. She had reached the lobby before Joy had, the wait for her wasn’t long though.  Joy was dressed in a red draped, knee length designer dress. She had on elbow length black lace gloves, black lingerie and matching black sheer tights paired with red designer cocktail pumps. A mini black Chanel handbag was fastened to her form through a gold crossbody chain, tying her look together. Lina also noticed that she too had both a yellow and an orange wristband on. The elevator doors opened to reveal Joy, all smiles and giggles and drinks in both her hands. One hand held two fancy champagne glasses, one of them was already half drunk; the other hand held a fancy glass liquor glass. It was filled with a dark honey colored drink and a single slice of lime sitting at the bottom.  “Best fren, you made it just in time,” Joy spoke as Lina made her way to the elevator. Joy stuck her foot out to make sure the door didn’t close. Once Lina was on the elevator, Joy pressed the button to the lounge and in a few moments, they were moving upwards. Joy handed her the liquor glass and passed one champagne glass to her free hand. “You arrived just in time, I wanted to wait for you before getting s**t faced as usual, and I had literally just started drinking.” Lina let out a small sound to show her friend that she was listening, for she was more fascinated with her view. The walls of the elevator were made of glass, so she could see the entirety of the club. The dance floor was packed with people and the music was so loud that she could hear and feel the vibrations through the glass. What made her turn away was the roaming strobe lights. They always made her feel dizzy, which is why she preferred upscale lounges when going out. Besides, it made it easier to keep an eye on drunk Joy.  “Oh, cheers real quick,” Joy exclaimed and held out both glasses. Lina couldn’t help but smile and she raised her glass to Joy’s two champagne glasses. “To the new year and new beginnings!” Joy said jovially.  “To the new year and new beginnings,” Lina repeated and clinked glasses. She raised the glass and took a sip through the mini straws. It was made just the way she liked, whiskey neat with a slice of lime and three mini straws.  “Perfect, yes?” Joy asked. Lina nodded and gave a hum of agreement in response through taking a few more sips.  “I’ve never met anyone with such a peculiar taste. And the straws, why the straws?” Joy stated then asked out loud. “I like the straws so it doesn’t mess up my lipstick too much. The taste I acquired over time,” Lina shrugged at the end of her statement. Joy didn’t reply, she just finished the rest of her first glass.  “I need another glass,” Joy said with a laugh. Lina smiled and took another sip; she had a feeling that she was in for a long night.  The floor of the lounge was covered with black velvet carpet. The walls were black and the lighting was dim. As soon as the elevator doors closed, Lina could no longer hear the thumping music of the club below and instead could hear the crisp sound of a woman singing to instrumental music.  To the right of the elevator, a man stood straight and still. He had a plain black mask, a black bowtie, black slacks, black shoes and a black belt. He also had black gloves on, yet no shirt, exposing his slim build. His hair was cut short and gelled to keep a certain shape. One of his arms was behind his back, a towel draped over his forearm. The other arm held up a platter of champagne glasses. As soon as Joy noticed him, she traipsed over to him, placed her empty glass down and grabbed two fresh glasses.  “Mask, miss?” A woman’s voice called to her. Lina turned around to face the person speaking to her. Her hair was twisted up into an elegant bun, and like her male coworker, she too was dressed in all black. Plain black eye mask, black bowtie, black corset, paired with black spandex underwear, black fishnet stockings and black gloves. Lina couldn’t see her feet because she was standing behind a table covered with different masquerade masks, however, she guessed them to be black as well.  “Excuse me?” Lina replied as she walked over to the table and perused its contents.  “Would you prefer a mask, miss? It is the theme for tonight, after all. And they’re free,” The woman smiled at her. Line smiled back, “Sure, I’d love one.” Joy walked over balancing her three glasses, “Oo, I wanted to pick one earlier, I just wasn’t sure which one to go with.” Lina looked her over and then the masks and repeated until she could decide, “I like this one for you.” She held up a mask with large rabbit ears attached and was covered in gold glitter, “I think it goes well with your curls and the red lip.” Giving it some thought, Joy eventually agreed. She turned around and crouched a bit so Lina could fasten the mask around her head. Once done, the both turned back to the table to look for a mask for Lina,  “Oo, I love that for you, Lina,” Joy said and pointed with her pinky at a wired mask. It was in the shape of a butterfly and covered in silver glitter with flecks of other colors sparingly placed in the mix. “I was looking at that one as well,” Lina stated. “If I may, very agreeable,” the woman serving them stated. Lina placed her glass down on the table to put the mask on, to which both women gave sounds of agreement to her.  “Now, we’re ready. Come on,” Joy said and walked through the entrance to the lounge. Lina picked up her glass once more and hurried after her friend.
