Six months later-

Dressed in tailormade black leather trousers, a burgundy button-up shirt, and a snug-fitting black leather jacket, Krystal confidently approached the entrance to Pandora's Box, London's most exclusive BDSM dungeon. She handed the bulky, scary-looking security guard at the entrance his invitation card to Alex's private party, as well as her platinum membership card, which entitled him to all sorts of VIP privileges.

"Like I wouldn't recognize you from a mile away," The buffy security guard laughed and handed both the invitation card and Krystal's membership card back to her. She stepped aside and pushed the door to the club open.

"Nice necklace, Madame," he said when Krystal stepped past him and she gave him a devious smirk, which the guard returned with ferocity.

"Thank you," she responded politely, then vanished inside the club.

She had accessorized tonight's outfight with a handmade diamond-studded triskelion symbol necklace, which Max had given her for her twenty-first birthday.

She seldom wore it, but for tonight's party, she wanted a little something special.

At a fetish club, wearing leather was usually the perfect way to blend into the crowd.

A diamond-studded necklace, cut so precisely as if it was charmed to sparkle brightly even in low light, gave her whole outfit a bit of an edge; an elegant edge, but an edge all the same.

Ascending the stairs, she headed down a dimly-lit corridor, made to look like the inside of a medieval castle. It was the club's running theme, and on nights like tonight, when Krystal wasn't in her Dom headspace, the place never failed to remind him a little of Harry-Potter fiction, and she chuckled to herself.

Minus all the fun torture equipment, she thought with a wicked grin and pushed the door to the Sapphire room open. It was the club's biggest and most luxurious private play and function room, equipped with its own bar, a broad selection of high-end BDSM furniture, and a cabinet full of various toys, bondage gear, and other fun things.

You had to, of course, purchase any toys before you could use them in a scene. The club had a strict No-Toy-Sharing policy which she valued as much as the founding pillars of BDSM — Safe, Sane, Consensual.

"Krystal!"

"Trinity," Krystal smiled and allowed the imposing Dominatrix to engulf her in an almost bone-crushing hug.

"You're looking...hot," she praised, admiring her black fishnet stockings and gorgeous red corset one piece when she pulled away and teasingly ran her riding crop up his arm.

"You look like you stepped right out of my wet dream fantasy," she blatantly flirted with her and Krystal laughed.

"Rumour has it you prefer your boys at your feet, Mistress."

Krystal winked.

"Funny, I heard the same thing about you. We should play together sometime, really put my new sub through his paces, " Trinity said and threw one arm around her shoulder. She yelped a little when Krystal snug her arm around her waist and gripped her hip firmly.

"Hm, I'd love to, but I'm in a steady relationship these days," Krystal politely rejected her offer but winked at her to sweeten the blow making her blush.

"But we haven't seen you since... uh, ummm I dunno, two years?"

She pouted at her, and Krystal rolled her eyes, then extracted herself from her and made her excuses. She had spotted Alex at the bar and was extremely grateful when he handed her a bottle of cold beer the moment she approached. She took a languid sip, perched herself on the barstool next to Alex, and leaned back against the bar.

"Where's the birthday girl?" she inquired.

"Mingling," Alex replied with a shrug. "Gave her the night off." Short of playing with anyone who isn't me, she's free to do whatever."

"Aren't you a benevolent Dom," Krystal teased with a low chuckle, shrugging her leather jacket off and placing it on the empty barstool beside her.

"Only once in a while, Mistress-" Alex winked and gulped the beer.

"By the way, where is your rumored partner? I thought you might finally introduce me to them. I know Linda knows, but she doesn't spurt a single word... I am starting to think you just started this to avoid the mass of bitches thrown at you... " Alex whined, earning an amused smirk.

"Assume whatever you want, pretty boy-"

"As you know, my offer still stands, Miss-" Before he could complete the sentence, Krystal glared at him.

"Okay- okay-- I get it, you know, it's just surprising you just disappeared from the market and gained more power in the white, I mean, everyone is guessing you are just hiding and will be back with a huge blow and cause, I don't know, havoc or something... but every time I ask Linda, she just glares at me and refuses to even give me a smile. Ugh! And, And then I hear you are dating! YOU ARE DATING a mysterious human, and you know how shocking it is... You had the weirdest rules... like no kissing how the fuc-"

"Alex, can you stop your ramble, we are already getting enough attention-" Krystal sighed, shaking her head, and they both went silent.

"Are you really dating?" he asked after some moments, making Krystal roll her eyes.

"Yes, I am-"

"Who is he or she or they... whatever?"

" are*" Krystal corrected sipping her beer.

"ARE!" Alex nearly jumped off his stool, making Krystal reconsider why she gave in to her assistant's request to attend her birthday party? Sandra was... say not so happy and Adriana was well... furious.

I wonder if the mansion was burning when I left-

"Yes, I am dating two amazing ladies. Thank you very much-" Krystal replied dryly when Alex shrugged the dust off his trousers and smiled when he saw Linda was dancing in the corner, laughing hysterically with an equally intoxicated woman bouncing on her heels.

"Love suits you-" Krystal complimented, making Alex smile.

"I could say the same about you, Mistress... In the previous statement your eyes started sparkling brighter than that necklace of yours," Alex said, then leaned in and the moment he opened his mouth, Krystal knew exactly what he was about to ask.

"Are they both trained?"

Krystal shook her head, making the man's eyes go wide.

"Oh, gods-"

"Can you just stop with the drama and leave me alone-" Krystal rolled her eyes, huffing she closed them but the man-made no moment to go away.

They are not trained, but they don't even need the fucking training- They are adorable, cute, submissive, beautiful, and dangerous.

Krystal still remembers when Adriana told Sandra and her about her past... And holy shit! Every reaction of her started to make sense... she was naturally submissive when she wants, masochist not surprising by her past... An incident that happened three months ago blurred her mind, and she felt like smiling...

{ Adriana huffed again, the fifth time stating the obvious statement -

"I am so so so bored!!! Sanny is gone to God knows where.... Ughhhh- Do something.... oh, my beloved kidnapper... Find her, she should not be left alone, it's dangerous, we should find her, tie-"

"For the fourth time, kitten, stop fucking sulking. She is hiding from you because not all people are bloody night owls like you, Some of us actually have to work in the day-" Krystal sighed, signing the documents for her company's blueprint resting on her lap, her eyes never looking at the sulking Zodiac Mistress sitting over her desk.

And then the file got snatched from her hand, making her gasp in surprise, and next thing she knew, the papers were thrown towards the door.

"What the-"

"You don't dare ignore me, Miss Kidnapper, or I will-"

"Naughty girls like you should be spanked," Krystal growled, grabbed Adriana, and flipped her onto her front. Adriana yelped in surprise, turned her head sideways, and defiantly stared up at Krystal, who felt her hand twitch.

"I dare you, Krystal."

The next thing she knew, something occupied her senses. Her heart started beating faster. With a growl, almost animalistic, she yanked Adriana's shorts down, making her gasp, leaving her only in the pink knickers, displaying all the glory of the glorious arse, Krystal gulped at the site before her.

Adriana smirked at her and the itch to bring her hand down firmly on Adriana's pert buttocks grew more intense, but she resisted giving in to her instincts.

Instead, she hesitated.

She looked at Adriana, really looked, but when she saw nothing but pure arousal and sass, she decided to chance it. Making sure Adriana could see her hand, she raised it and just as Adriana sucked in a sharp breath, Krystal brought the flat of her hand down on Adriana's bare arse and positively delighted in the resulting smacking sound. Her hand connected with Adriana's left buttock, leaving a very nice red imprint of her hand behind.

Adriana shrieked, buried her face in her elbows, and let out a low moan as a shudder surged through her body. The impact of Krystal's hand connecting with her arse had clearly startled her.

Krystal gently caressed the mark she had left behind. She let her fingers ghost over it and leant down. She kissed her cheek tenderly, then pressed her lips to Adriana's ear.

"Are you okay?" she asked very softly, and let out a small sigh of relief when Adriana nodded, turned her head, and looked at her with slightly watery eyes.

"Fuck— I didn't think you would actually do it."

"Hm, you did dare me," Krystal pointed out, and pressed a soft kiss against Adriana's earlobe.

She nuzzled the sensitive skin softly and hummed.

"Did you hate it?" she wanted to know... because as far as she remembers, she couldn't saw any brief sight of pain when she once pinned her against the car... she remembers that Adriana has a weird resistance against the pain and the mere thought about how she developed such pain tolerance makes her blood boil, she wanted to dig the grave of Adriana's ovum donor and then rip the body apart, limb by limb if they didn't deteriorated, she wanted to.... she sighed and nuzzled the bushy hair inhaling the rose essence, intoxicating her senses.

"No," Adriana admitted truthfully, and Krystal could tell that being this honest couldn't have been easy for Adriana.

Her voice was barely audible, and, sparing her any further questions, Krystal kissed Adriana's shoulder.

She trailed a series of tiny kisses down Adriana's spine over the fabric of her shirt and then kissed every inch of the mark she had left on Adriana's buttock. She kissed and licked and nipped at the sensitive skin, and Adriana trembled beneath him.

Krystal could feel Adriana pressing her legs tightly and saw the way she clenched and relaxed her arse cheeks. Krystal slipped a single finger into the crack between Adriana's buttocks, teasing as she didn't approach further down, sought out her anal hole and teased it tenderly, rubbing gentle circles around the puckered flesh.

She bit Adriana's arse, then soothed the bite with her lips and tongue. Adriana moaned and mumbled something entirely incoherent.

After a while, Krystal stopped, pulled away, and pressed her lips back against Adriana's ear.

"Such a good little kitten you are, not at all naughty anymore. I spanked it right out of you, didn't I?"

To Krystal's surprise — she hadn't expected an answer to her question, especially because she had used Adriana's nickname — Adriana gave a feeble nod and Krystal pulled away and looked at Adriana. She looked at her face and found Adriana worrying her bottom lip nervously.

"Are you okay?" Krystal asked yet again, just a little worried.

In response, Adriana sighed.

Her cheeks pinked, she flushed and averted her eyes.

"Liked it, didn't you?" Krystal prodded softly, wondering whether a simple yes or no question might come easier to Adriana in her current state.

It took several minutes before Adriana finally answered her, and when she did, her voice was low and shaky.

"Yes, yes, I did," she breathed, and Krystal smiled and stroked Adriana's hair affectionately.

"Want more?" Krystal pushed, and she gently traced the outline of her hand on Adriana's arse.

She wasn't even surprised when Adriana nodded, but she found it utterly endearing when Adriana flushed crimson and kissed her gently.

Part of her wanted to make Adriana ask for it, but she had the feeling that it wouldn't go down well, so, instead, she kissed Adriana's shoulder and enticed her in an entirely different way.

"Take four and I'll rim you until you come screaming my name," she whispered into Adriana's ear.

Adriana practically mewled, and Krystal wondered whether she might ask for it after all.

She didn't.

She did; however, nod enthusiastically and then buried her face in her elbows, resting her forehead against the table. Krystal slipped her hand into Adriana's and held on tight, stroked Adriana's pert arse tenderly, and wisely gave Adriana a few moments to mentally prepare herself.

"Ready?" She checked, and the moment Adriana nodded, Krystal brought her hand firmly down on Adriana's arse.

Adriana groaned, her scream muffled by the way she bit her arm in order to reduce the noise, but failed, and Krystal squeezed Adriana's hand tightly. She gave her a moment to relax, admired the reddening skin of her arse, and then brought her hand down again.

Her third stroke was almost as hard as her first one, and Adriana trembled, bucked her hips, and groaned. Krystal didn't wait for Adriana to finish, but delivered the final blow instead, and Adriana sobbed and whimpered softly.}

"Earth to my lady-" Alex snapped his fingers in front of her face, making her smile fade as she rolled her eyes, questioning whether it was a good idea to attend the party or not.

She looked over at her assistant, who looked at her and beamed, blushing profusely, waving at her and she returned the smile. Well, maybe, if that makes them jealous, she smirked, touching her necklace.

"Ay! Ay! Don't eye my girl if you don't want me to in the package..." Alex huffs as the bear mug falls from his hands making Krystal sigh.

"No, thank you very much-" she replied, and the man pouted, and Krystal had to admit that it was a little short of cute.

"So, what are they like? Huh, all submissive and breed-able, right-" Alex wiggled his brows making Krystal smirk.

"Oh-yes, but haven't I told you, I oh! I so love a dominant top" Krystal replied, and then almost laughed at the way the man in front of her paled and fell from the stool and groaned.

She stood up and extended her hand to the fallen man to take, who took it opening and closing his mouth in disbelief, and Krystal didn't blame him for that reaction, as he himself knew what Krystal started ages ago and also got a taste of what dominance tastes like...

"Yo-u a-re joking r-right?" Alex blinks, then Krystal sighs, manhandling the man over the stool and returning to her position, smirking as other visions cloud her brain. -

{ Krystal was working on her tablet, going through endless emails and files, making her head feel dizzy. They had just leaked one piece of research, and the mails were basically flooding her inbox, buyers, companies, and associations, both legal and illegal, bidding their money for the information. She was about to reply to one decent client when she sensed someone entered the room and turned to see Sandra entering inside with a blank look on her face, which made Krystal frown.

Once inside, Sandra kicked the door shut and Krystal sensed the door had clicked locked. Krystal still said nothing. She was rather intrigued as to what Sandra was up to. She knew exactly what Sandra wanted and she very much wanted to let Sandra have it, but she was curious to find out how Sandra intended to go about getting exactly what she wanted. It was obvious that she wasn't going to take 'patience princess-' for an answer tonight, and that suited Krystal just fine.

Sandra turned to face her.

"You're not leaving here tonight, Krystal Blake," she whispered, sounding most determined, and Krystal chuckled.

"I'm not?" she asked.

"No."

Sandra shook her head and raised her gun. She pointed it at Krystal straight over her head...

"Hands up, darling-"

"Woah- Woah, easy there-" Krystal laughed but still did as commanded. Desire burned in her eyes as Sandra took some small graceful steps towards her, one hand still pointing on her head and one behind her back over her hips. Lust burned in her eyes, which made Krystal's mouth go dry.

"I have asked you, I have assured you that it's alright if you don't want to do anything, It's alright, I can understand if you want to keep the relationship asexual-" Sandra said slowly, now standing face to face with Krystal, the little height difference did nothing but just to amuse Krystal as the shorter lady was radiating the aura which can make anyone tremble, to beg, to want, to whimper-

Soon, Krystal snapped from her daze when she felt something sting on her wrist and then looked at the metallic chuffs locked on her hands, which she had no idea when arrived. She gulped, Sandra smirked and sniffed her neck, making her shiver.

"- I asked you again and again, It's been two fucking months for fuck's sake-but all the fucking time, all the moments-" Sandra growled, and Krystal just wanted to tease, to rile the older woman more, so she said-

"-Patience Princess-"

Krystal suppressed an amused chuckle as she found herself pulled up in strong arms and then yanked at the bed. She groaned as her head hit the mattress with a thud. One moment she was groaning, the next moment she found herself chained onto the bed with her hands bound to the fancy iron-wrought headboard, linked with the cuffs. The cuffs were tight, and Krystal flexed her fingers a little and pulled at her restraints.

She couldn't quite remember the last time anyone had tied her up — well, she could but those memories had no place here and now, those terrifying memories — but she was sure that it wouldn't take much of an effort to get out those cuffs.

For now, Krystal had no intention of fighting Sandra's cufflinks, and strange as it was, sitting, tied to her own bed didn't feel in the least bit uncomfortable. She was pleasantly intrigued by Sandra's efforts.

'Kudos', she thought, 'you are good, my princess, I like it.'

She watched Sandra carefully place her gun on the dresser near her and then snap her fingers. Light, but sexy instrumental music filled the room and Krystal smiled.

'You planned this, my devious one.'

She had a fairly good idea of what was about to come and Sandra did not disappoint.
