Catching a glimpse into the room was all Mina needed to confirm her worst fears. This was no mere party, these were no mere gentle folk letting their hair down, this was a place of debauchery.
If the nude dancers on the podium had not been enough, the inhabitants of the room seemed to be engaging in rampant sin and sadism. Two of the scantily dressed maskless women were tied into contortionist positions. One of the women appeared to be having her bare behind flogged vigorously, whilst several men and women watched. Mina could see many of the viewers were in various stages of undress. Some of the women had their bodices open, their breasts bared for all to see. She also glimpsed a man, with a huge engorged c**k poking out of his trousers, pumping it vigorously with one hand. Before she could see any more, the door closed.
Mina's mind raced, but her body was reacting despite herself. She could feel her pebbled n*****s rub against her bodice as they moved. The woman in white leading them seemed not to notice or not to care as she opened the door opposite and stood back for her to enter.
Mina began to shake and wonder what she had gottwn herself into. She had heard stories about Mr Graystone, but given he was a social recluse and a bachelor, it wasn't unexpected to hear wild tales. Mina had prepared herself to serve some of the underbelly of high society, but nothing like this.
In that moment, Mina decided to turn and run. The man in black was thankfully no longer at the door and she tore it open. Reaching the top of the stairs she slowed slightly.
She could hear a shout "Goddamnit! Get her!"
Before she could be caught she mustered her resolve. She would just run like she should have done from the start rather than going from one sinful man to another.
She continued down the stairs, knowing they would soon catch her. Just as finger tips touched her shoulder, she tripped on the thick carpet and fell forwards.
