13 - Alex

"You never mentioned anything about how your date went with Marcello - I've been meaning to get details off you." Jo winked and looked pointedly at her.

"I haven't heard from Marcello since our first date a couple of weeks ago and I'm not expecting to either," Alex explained the connection between Marcello and xByte to Jo as she was packing up for the day. "My love life has gone to shite." Alex moaned.

"At least your mystery man is no longer a mystery - that's going to be a bit awkward? It's a shame about Marcello but you can surely appreciate his position?"

"I'll cope no doubt but turns out Cal's a bit of an asshole anyway so no regrets there. As for Marcello, I totally understand his situation but would prefer that he dealt with it like a man and explained it rather than just avoiding me...I mean, my heart is hardly broken over it. I think Sam was more heartbroken than me when I told him - I was just looking forward to some possibly good shagging but I won't die over it." She said while putting on her jacket.

"Sounds like you need to have fun and let loose and I know just what you need - I'm heading to Boudoir tonight and I think you should come along." Jo smiled at her wickedly.

"That better not be what I think it is Johanna Parkins! I can't go to something like that and also I have no idea, other than the obvious, about the machinations of a sex club. Abso-fucking-lutely not!"

"You're sounding like the prude you're not! It's not seedy like I know you think it is - you think I'd go to some seedy joint? There's kink for sure but it's rather like going to someone's fabulous house and everyone is lovely and just enjoying themselves....with a lot less clothing." She grinned. "There are definitely seedier joints but I've weeded them out from my repertoire. This place is a secret, members and their approved guests only, and the waiting queue is huge."

"Even if I was to hypothetically go along with this crazy idea, how do you propose that I get in?" She challenged.

"Oh, that's easy. I know the club owner really well and I've been a member for a few years so I can bring who I want without prior approval."

"And what do you propose I do exactly? Throw myself into an orgy and abandon my sanity?" She quipped.

"No, I suggest you wear something sexy, grab a drink and watch - I can show you the ropes. Admit that you're at least a little curious Alex?" Jo urged.

She didn't respond to Jo's provocation. Thinking back to the private session and conversation that she'd stumbled across between Jo and David. Admitting that she'd found what she saw mildly erotic.

"You don't have to participate, you don't even have to watch. They have bar areas where people just mix and mingle, you can even be fully clothed if you like but I suggest wearing something sexy to blend in."

"And how do I stop people from pawing at me?

"They're not animals Alex! It's very civilised and polite. You'll find that there's a lot of different people there that you can actually converse with. They give you a white coloured bracelet to wear if you're not interested in any action."

"Ok, I'll go - but only to fulfill my curiosity and not to participate - if you tell me what the story is between you and David. I know you fucked him." She paused, "I know because I happen to walk past his office while you were in there."

Jo's eyes rounded in surprise and her cheeks flushed with embarrassment. "Nothing....what you saw will not be repeated. I actually don't understand how you get on with him - he's such an arrogant ass."

Alex burst into laughter. "I know there's more to this story that you're not telling me. Not to worry - I'll weasel it out of you. And yes David can be an arrogant ass but he does it in such a charming way." She smiled.

"Well, I didn't see the charm while I accidentally let him into my pants - shame on me for breaking my resolve." Jo looked at Alex determinedly. "He knows that it was one time and in the moment of weakness.....I don't want to talk any more about it. Now..." Jo's wicked grin crept back on her face."What I do want to talk about is what time I'm picking you up for Boudoir tonight?"

~~~~~~~~~~

Alex stood nervously just inside the first door to the left of the foyer, surveying the scene in a plushly decorated room. They'd arrived at a large mansion on the outskirts of London and handed over their coats at which point, she realised she still had way too much clothing compared to Jo. She'd put on a grey tube mini dress and wore fuck-me shoes while Jo had a black lace see-through teddy which made no attempt at covering anything.

"Wow - I see I didn't quite understand what you meant by sexy," she said looking at Jo's shorter and more curvaceous body. "I see I shall be my own company while you get busy tonight?" She laughed, raising her eyebrows at Jo.

"I'll keep you company for some of the time," Jo turned and surveyed her. "And I highly doubt that you're going to be by yourself if you took off that white bracelet. That is the only reason you won't get any action tonight."

They both turned to observe that most people weren't wearing the bracelet to signify that they weren't participants. Most were either naked or semi-naked and milling about at the bar and on couches having a conversation. For all intent and purposes, the scene could have been at any up-market bar in Chelsea.

They made their way to order drinks, attracting looks of interest as they waited. Jo whispered in her ear, "this room is where you can hang and chill. No sexual activity of any kind is allowed here. There's another room like it upstairs as well which I'll show you." She turned to assess the room. "It's busy tonight so there'll be lots of things to see and do so I'll show you around for a bit then I'll head off for a while." Jo winked mischievously at her.

"Actually, I was thinking of exploring for a while on my own, observe at my own pace. How about I meet you back here in a couple of hours?"

"Are you sure?" Jo asked.

"Yes - I'll be fine. I want to wander around and you can go off and have some fun." She assured Jo.

"Ok well, you know the rules. Keep the bracelet on unless you're offering. No one will touch you, bracelet or not unless you allow it. I'll see you later." Jo warned as she headed towards the door.

Alex turned to assess the patrons in the room. All seemed like anyone that she may meet during her daily interactions, mostly a younger crowd, certainly she hadn't yet seen the seedy old men she'd pictured. Surprisingly some were very attractive, she guessed the club was highly selective in their clientele.

There were couples and singles, both men and women, all seeming to be enjoying each other's company, unfazed by the various states of undress. A muscular redheaded man eyed her keenly and saluted her with his glass. She responded in kind but indicated to her wrist and he beamed a smile in acknowledgment. Turning back to whisper in the ear of the woman next to him.

She stepped away from the bar and decided that it was time to explore the rest of the mansion and open her eyes to a whole new world of hedonism.
