Billie's P.O.V
It was a bright sunny morning but I'm not in a bright mood. My boyfriend of three years broke up with me over text. The worst part is he found a new girl already. My friends warned me that he was no good but I didn't listen and now I'm heartbroken. I've been in bed for days not eating right or taking care of myself. I know it's terrible to do this to myself but I'm so upset. I've ignored every text and phone call. Suddenly I hear my doorbell ring. I groan feeling no motivation to answer. "Go away" I mumble. "BILLIE O'CONNELL open this door!" I hear an angry voice say. I recognize it as Zoe. She's probably really upset I've been ignoring her. I finally drag myself out of bed to my front door I open it looking at Zoe sadly. "OMG! Billie you're a disaster, when's the last time you bathed?" She spats. I break down sobbing. She immediately holds me letting me sob. "I've been so worried about you" she says softly while caressing my back. "H-He found someone already!" I wail. She takes me over to the couch sitting me down. "I know you're really sad B but you have to take care of yourself" she says. "I-I can't Zo I'm completely broken!" I sob.

"He is not worth it Bils come on you're taking a bath" she says going to my bathroom. I wipe my tears and follow her. She starts the bathtub adding bubbles and getting a fresh bar of soap. I slowly strip my clothes away and get in. It actually felt amazing. "Now please clean yourself B I'll be back in minute" she says. I nod in agreement grabbing the soap and a rag. She exits the bathroom leaving me all alone. I start to clean myself feeling a little better. Zoe comes back a few minutes later. "See don't you feel better?" She asks. "Y-Yeah" I admit. "We're getting you out of this house so finish up and get dressed" she demands. As much as I don't want to she's right I need to get out of here. I finish washing my hair and cleaning myself before moisturizing and getting dressed. I put on makeup and do my hair too. "Ok I'm ready" I say. "I'm proud of you B now come on let's go eat" she says. She ends up driving us to our favorite local diner. I see couples and instantly frown but my stomach growls which distracts me. Zoe and I get seated and we both look at the menu. "Are you getting your usual Bil?" She asks. I just nod my head yes. The waitress comes by and takes our orders. When she leaves I look out the window trying to keep myself from crying. "I know it's hard Billie but there are other men" she says. She's right but I want Dylan back he was my comfort. "There's um this club my girlfriend and I go to and I think you should come too" she says I look at her confused. "A club?" I ask confused. "Yeah it's pretty cool and I think you should come with us tonight" she says. "O-Ok" I reply. A little bit later our food comes.

I'm starving so I immediately begin eating. I really start to feel better maybe all I needed was a real meal. We finish up and pay. Zoe drives me back home. "I'll be back at seven to get you I recommend wearing something sexy" she says. She's acting so weird, what is this club? I just agree and go back into my messy apartment. I sigh but start cleaning it finally having the motivation to do so. I'm still upset but I realize that taking care of my needs is much more important than some man. It takes me a long time to clean it all but it was so worth it. Now I'm exhausted but very curious about this club. Zoe sounded nervous when she was explaining it. I only have a little bit of time to get ready so I immediately dig around in my closet for something sexy. I settle on a corset top and skirt. I hope it's good enough. I do my make up more sultry and fix my hair. Before I know it it's time to go. She pulls up right at seven. "Ready?" She asks. I nod my head yes nervously. I get in the passenger seat and she begins driving. "Is your girlfriend coming too?" I ask. "Yes we're just going to meet her there" she replies. I nod my head and look out the window. "I will warn you this club is uhh very interesting" she says. This immediately grabs my attention. "What do you mean?" I ask curiously. "I mean it's just different. It's a club where kinky people go" she says. "Kinky?" I say. "Yeah you know like power dynamic. There's a submissive partner and a dominant one" she says. My eyes widen, "YOURE TAKING ME TO A BDSM CLUB!" I yell. "Relax B I think you'll really enjoy it, we both know you like the idea of being overpowered maybe there's a man here for you" she explains. I'm pissed though, she should've told me. "No! Why didn't you say anything!" I spat feeling so embarrassed.

"You wouldn't have gone if I said anything, I'm sorry but I really think you'll enjoy it" she says. I can't believe this is happening. I've always had a kinky side but never really explored it too much. I'm heated that she tricked me. We arrive and my nerves go crazy. "I don't know if I can do this Zoe" I say frantically. "Relax I promise you're ok" she says. We begin walking into the club and I try to steady my breathing. Once we're in my eyes widen this place is insane. Zoe leaves to go find her girlfriend. There's a stage with devices that look scary. I watch a man restrain a woman to one of them then proceed to whip her. People all around are watching the scene. I feel sick, I immediately rush towards a door opening it hoping it's a bathroom unfortunately it's not. It is quieter than the main area though. I sink down against the wall catching my breath. "Excuse me" a voice says. I look up at a tall, muscular, scary man. "Oh umm sorry I was looking for the bathroom" I say getting up and avoiding eye contact. "Where's your master?" He asks coldly. I look at him confused. "I don't have a master I'm just here with my friend" I say softly. "So you're available then?" He asks getting closer. "N-No" I reply. "You're at a BDSM club, so either you have a dominant, you're a dominant or you are available and I advise you to pick one before you get into trouble" he spats. My heart drops. "I-I don't understand" I say nervously. "I already explained your choices so either pick or I will get the head master" he says. Tears fill my eyes as my body trembles in fear. I'm so confused and wish I never left Zoe. "Leave her alone Dominic!" I hear a different voice say. I look over and see a tall, tatted, dark featured man coming towards us. "You know the rules Jesse! Strays get punished" Dominic's rough voice says. My heart drops again, "Please I don't know what's happening but don't hurt me" I sob. Jesse immediately rushes to my side. "Great job you fucking scared her!" Jesse spats. Dominic scoffs, "Good maybe she won't be so stupid next time!" He spats. I start trembling uncontrollably. I'm surrounded by strangers half naked and there's a chance they're sacrificing me to be punished.

"Just let me go please, I promise I won't say anything" I beg. "Shh calm down sweet girl I won't let anything happen to you" Jesse coos. "Just know if she's available I get first dibs" Dominic spats before walking away. "I'm sorry, I know he's a prick but stay with me and you'll be safe" he says softly. "C-Can you take me to my friend" I say. "Yes but first we have to get you a tag before the head master sees you" he says. "W-What happens if he does?" I ask. "He'll take you to the chamber to punish you" he says. I tear up again, "No no don't cry I promise you'll be fine" he says. He rushes me over to an area with a table. "I need one crimson tag please" he says. The woman gives him the tag and he puts it on my wrist. "This means you are looking for a dominant but if you stay with me people won't approach you. When you're here you can't take it off. You are a submissive right?" he asks. I just nod in agreement. He slips his hand into mine and leads me away from the tag table. "Let's go find your friend" he says. Right my friend, the one who got me into this mess. I'm actually going to kill her. After a while of searching I finally see her. I get Jesse's attention and point. "If you come back please look for me" he says. He slips me a card with his name

Jesse Rutherford
Dominant
Red level

"The red level is where you'll find me. If you're actually looking for a dominant I'm interested and it will be known at the auction" he says. An auction? No way he thinks I'm offering myself up for an auction. "A-An auction?" I say. "Yes it's a big event held bi monthly where submissives who are seeking dominants are sold. Don't worry it's all consensual and the contract only lasts a month" he explains. "O-Ok" I reply. We say goodbye to one another and I head towards Zoe. "BILLIE!" She shouts. "Omg I'm so sorry! Are you ok?" She asks frantically. "Y-Yeah can we leave now please" I say. "Yeah" she replies. We make it out of the club and I sigh in relief. What a strange place. We make it to the car and I immediately get in the backseat. Zoe begins driving me home. "Z-Zoe" I say softly. "Yeah B" "W-What's the auction?" I ask. "It's a submissive thing. Subs are sold to dominants for a month. They have contracts and rules it's all consensual" she explains. "Why do you ask did someone approach you?" "Yeah some guy did he put this tag on me and told me he'd let everyone at the auction know he wanted me" I explain. She stays silent for a moment scaring me. "That's a submissive seeking dominant tag Billie which means you are offering yourself as a submissive. Is that what you want?" She asks. "I think so" I reply. "They have you on file now so if you go back in there they know you're a submissive and dominants will be after you" she explains. Is this what I want? It's so intriguing and having a dominant could be a nice distraction, maybe I should consider it.
