Dark Stranger

Alex - Part 12

Feisty!

Case 2 - "Blood Bank"

Zass and I headed back to the bedroom and I watched anxiously as he opened a different door into a walk in closet that I hadn't seen inside before. I took a step forward to look at things that caught my attention. There was a section with the usual naughty costumes, both male and female versions were hanging there. I saw a Vampire Costume that I laughed over and decided that I had to get Zass into one day. Then I turned to the side Zass was standing in front of and saw all the leather, PVC, mesh and metal hanging from the hangers. And the drawers of shoes, boots and accessories that he was pulling out and looking at were impressive too. And it wasn't all in Zass's size either. There were definitely things that wouldn't fit his smaller frame.

"Do you keep all this stuff for other people?" I asked curiosity getting the better of me. Even as I shuddered to think of trying to get into any of the exotic things he might want me to wear.

"Yes, for Inferno and for Council visits. This is going to be a bit hard for you Scotty. I'm going to need you to play a role for me."

"Hmmmm?"

"There are certain politics that I've been avoiding for quite a while. I've been playing the Switzerland card since before they did. Anyway I need you to act more... subservient when I give you the signal if you can. You're not my slave, but there will be some people at the club tonight who will expect you to behave as if I am your Master in every way. I know you'll make a good impression with my friends, the ones that truly know me and how I like people to be when they are with me. As for the rest of them, I just need you not to piss anyone off really. That means behaving like I 'own' you for some of them."

"You're not joking are you?" I took in a deep breath and agreed to try. "OK, I'll do my best, you can warn me who I really need to look out for when we get there. But then you also need to let me know who I can be myself in front of too. I'll just try to keep my mouth shut and hopefully that will keep me out of trouble."

"You might see some things that really shock you Scotty. But try to speak to me when we're in private if anything really worries you. Also try to leave the cop at home too. OK?"

"What do you mean?"

"There will be some things that you probably haven't had much exposure to happening in the club Scott. There are different levels of hell in Dante's Inferno, just like at the club. There are different levels of kink, role-playing, B&D etc. There might even be some more... irregular things there for consumption too. Just avoid anything on a black plate OK? Oh and don't be tempted by any of the purple either."

"Righ...t." Scott frowned at me.

"Just remember if I say the word... pomegranate, it's time to put your guard up. OK?"

"Pomegranate? Really?"

"Are you going to forget it?"

"No I guess not! Wait what's my safe word?"

"Starbucks?"

At Scott's funny look I said, "Beyoncé?"

He gave me a huge smile and I knew I'd hit the nail on the head.

While I knew it was baptism by fire, I needed to catch up with some people about potential Council issues that might be bringing Lynx into the picture again.

I pulled out some wicked thigh high boots that I knew would look awesome on him, the extra inch that the heel gave would be killer too. I pulled out some soft loose tan pants that would be comfortable inside the boots and matched the leather almost exactly for colour. For the torso, I remembered a piece that was basically diagonal 1 inch leather straps with some mesh pieces that would look so dark against that pale skin. I was happy Scott hadn't put up much protest as I started putting those things on the ottoman for him to try on. He started looking a bit worried when I reached for my makeup case though.
