The Billionaire's Son 7 : Equinox (A BDSM Erotic Romance) (Billionaire Erotica) (3 page)

Derek followed Alfred down the hall towards Ethan's study.
When he first s
aw
the older man
again, h
e had to fight the
impulse
to strangle the bastard. His mind flashed back to the image of Alfred's finger jamming into Julia's pussy. And yet, Alfred had answered the door, not even batting an eye at the dark look of rage Derek directed at him.

Was I insane even contemplating allowing Julia to go to the Equinox party?
Who kn
ew
what
the hell could happen at that place? Somehow Derek had to find out exactly what this Equinox party entailed and make
sure that Julia was kept safe.

Ethan was waiting for him in the study. "Alex! Are you recovered from your Initiation yet? A hell of a night that was. Would you care for a drink?"

Derek was relieved. Ethan was not holding a grudge
towards him
for
forcing him off
Julia at the Initiation. It would seem that
keeping
Derek's
money
flowing into his
bank
account
was the more pressing concern for Ethan.

Derek shook his head. "No. I can't really stay for long. I have an important meeting to attend that I just can't miss."

"I hope you're not still angry about our little misunderstanding the other night?" Ethan tilted his head quizzically.

Avoiding
the
urge
to sneer at the smarmy man, Derek replied, "No. But I want to make it clear right now, Ethan, that I am not willing to share Katia with anyone. If that's a requirement, then it's a deal breaker."

Ethan sat on the edge of his desk. "No, of course not. We're all about good times here. There are some slaves who are exclusive to their masters at The Club. They don't rise up the ranks much and are mostly ignored by the other members. Is that your intention with Katia? And is she okay with that?"

Derek nodded and waited for Ethan to continue. "Bring her to the events, but keep her on a short leash. She'll attract a lot of attention at first, because she is new and
she
is so hot. No one will go against your wishes though - that only leads to trouble
-
which is
always
avoided and certainly frowned upon by The Club."

"And what about you, Ethan? Are you okay with it?"

Ethan waved his hand, appearing to brush aside
thei
r differences.
"You don't have to worry about me
with Katia. There are plenty of women at The Club, among other pleasures, that will keep me busy."

Derek dropped into the armchair in front of the desk. "
Great
I'
m glad we cleared that up
."

Ethan tapped his fingers on the desk distractedly.
"Yes. Speaking of pleasures, the Equinox party is coming up. I noticed you deposited your entrance fee into the account. I assume you and Katia will be attending?"

Now was the time for Derek to find out about the party.
"We will be there. What makes the Equinox party so special?"

Ethan's face lit up as he spoke of the event.
"It's considered the most prestigious gathering of the year. Only initiated members can attend. This year it will be at Highgate Manor - eligible members from all over the country attend.
Famous
people will be there. Almost everyone wears a mask to hide
his or her
identity, so if you want to retain your anonymity, Blackstone, I'd advise you to wear a mask as well.
I find it quite liberating to wear
one
myself."

Derek prompted the man further. "What goes on at the party?"

Ethan continued enthusiastically,
"It's the essence of debauchery in the highest form. Millions of dollars are spent to create an absolutely incredible atmosphere. As to what you do there, that's up to you. There will be food, drink and drugs to over-indulge
in
as you wish. Any type of sexual situation that you could possibly think of, an
d
many that you have never imagined, will be there for you to watch or participate in. I'd advise you to be careful with the drugs and alcohol for your first party - you definitely don't want to forget
a moment of
this one!
"

Ethan collected a plastic card from his desk and continued. "
This card will gain your entrance into the party. The place will be crawling with security
personnel;
so don't do anything stupid, Alex. Just enjoy yourself.
And keep your eye on Katia. Are you
completely
certain
that she's prepared to
sit
on the
sidelines
? Are you sure
that
you alone
can
keep
her
satisfied
?"

Derek clenched his jaw; suppressing the contempt he felt for his so-called mentor.
"Thanks for the advice, Ethan. I'll keep it in mind. I've really got to get going now."

Ethan led Derek to the front door of the manor where they shook hands good-bye. Derek took a long breath of fresh air as he headed to his car. It had taken him several days to feel completely normal after his experience with the drug, Ecstasy. Since then, it felt as if a new drug h
ad invaded his mind - Julia. She was constantly on his mind.

They had an amazing night together after his initiation, but she had left the next day before he had awoken. He had groggily slept the next 24 hours off, waking occasionally to call Julia just to hear her voice. Since then, they had only seen each other once. Derek had picked her up from her office at Jackson's estate and had taken her to dinner. He grimaced remembering how he had sweated like a schoolboy wondering if she would ask him
in
after he dropped her off at home. Luckily, she did. He felt his cock stirring as he recalled what happened later.

But the words Ethan
had
uttered
earlier
rang in his head.
Are you sure you
alone
can keep her satisfied?
Julia was the most passionate wom
a
n he had ever encountered.
What if Derek was not enough for her? What if she needed more?
Doubts about his abilities assailed Derek for the first time in his entire life.

***

We moved slowly in the crowd of masked and robed people, inching toward the entrance to the Equinox party at Highgate Manor. Derek's hand rested on the small of my back helping to calm the abundance of nervous energy I felt. It was
just
past
four
on the Thursday of the vernal equinox.
The party had already been going for hours, but we didn't want to get there too early.

Derek and I had discussed the Equinox party at length. He had filled me in on everything Ethan had told him and we had strategized many different ways that we could attain our goal in finding Elise. And despite my mortified protestations, Derek had assured me that I was free to enjoy the party's festivities if I so desired. We had each set up some ground rules
,
as Derek had suggested, to keep the other from being
hur
t. With his approval to
indulge
myself in mind, my stomach was fluttering with nervous anticipation.

When we reached the head of the line, Derek produced the key card to the rubber-suited man. The man scanned the card and then motioned to me. "You're a new girl. You need to check in with the other girls for your costume. You can meet back up with him
later
."

I felt Derek's grip tighten on my arm, but I nodded my head toward him. We had discussed that if I got a chance to be around the other
women
, I would take it. Besides, no costume could be any worse than the rope harness I was currently wearing under the robe.

I was led into the palatial mansion to a large open room packed with masked women. Surprisingly, the slaves were not silent. There was an excited buzz in the air as the girls chatted enthusiastically. Scanning the crowd, I noticed most girls had removed their masks and robes. I looked for Elise in the crowd, but did not spot her.

I stood uncertainly at the entrance for a moment before a woman wearing a black leather dominatrix outfit approached me. At first I thought it might be Madame, who helped me out at a Club party weeks ago, but it was not.

"You are a new girl?" she asked.

I nodded, "Yes. Are we allowed to talk here?"

The woman laughed. "You can talk here. But when we get out to the party, be careful at first. After a while, everyone is so sloshed that nobody cares.
Come with me so we can get your costume."

Following the woman through the crowd, I kept an eye out for Elise. I spotted women touching themselves and even some women engaged in lesbian activities.

The woman turned and saw my wide-eyed shock. "The girls are getting a bit excited waiting
to be let loose
for the party.
I imagine some of the men
right now
are engaged in similar activity outside."

She led
the way
out the back of the room and toward a smaller sitting room. S
everal large portable wardrobe closets
were filled with various costumes. The woman
shuffled through a wardrobe filled with white outfits before selecting one. She held up a hanger dripping with white f
ilmy material - all pieces to a
costume.

The outfit looked bizarre. "Why is it in so many pieces?"

The woman laughed. "Don't worry, I'll help you put it on - it is confusing. There
are
so many pieces because you
're
going to strip out of it on stage. It's a tradition for the new girls to be shown off. You're
the
virginal sacrifice, so to speak."

I felt a thrill of pleasure bubbling inside. But also a shiver of fear. Derek and I had discussed the need for us to keep our identities hidden. Just today, Derek's private investigator, Scott, had confirmed that Jackson would
be attending the Equinox party
too. It would be horrible if my boss, not to mention Derek's father, recognized me at this party strippin
g in front of the crowd.

I asked nervously, "Do I have to take off my mask too?"

The woman was already busy removing my rope harness. "Don't worry, honey. They don't want to see your face. Make sure to give them a good show and they won't care one bit about the mask."

It took at least 15 minutes to get dressed into all the pieces of the costume even with the woman's help. When we finished, she turned to me. "You certainly pull this off better than some of the new girls. You can go back and mingle with the girls. You'll be up in about an hour or so. I've got to get a few more girls ready."

I headed back to the large room that seemed even more packed with girls than when I
first
arrived. I felt conspicuous in the white outfit and was soon surrounded by chatty girls.

"I remember my first time. It was so hot! I wish I could do the strip tease in front of everyone again. Then the fuck box was fantastic!"

Another girl chimed in. "I was such a scaredy-cat. I chose the fuck box with the little holes. It was incredible, but I missed out on so much."

Confused at all the over-lapping chatter, I turned to the
petite blonde
girl on my right. "
What is the fuck box? What's going to happen to me?"

The girl looked sympathetic. "Don't worry. If you relax, it's quite enjoyable. The strip tease is pretty intimidating. You're up on stage in front of hundreds of men. But the goal is to get them all fired up with a good performance. The cruder the better,
sugar
. Then they'll all line up for you at the fuck box."

The blonde girl must have noticed my growing panic. Having intercourse with other people was definitely against
the agreement that
Derek and I
made
.

"The girls call it a fuck box. After the stripping, your handler will lead you to a plastic box enclosure. I hope you're not claustrophobic - don't worry, there's lots of air and stuff. Anyway, you're positioned in the box so your, you know, holes are lined up with holes in the box."

The girl snorted, amused at her joke. She continued, "So if you take the box with the big holes, you can get fucked every which way - by anyone. If you pick the one with the little holes, the guys can't fit their pricks in. They just finger you and stuff. I've heard it feels good too, but I picked the big holes.
You only get one chance at it, so you might as well go big."

My head was spinning with dread, but I noticed that a damp warmth had seeped into my pussy moistening the
thin
snatch of material between my legs. I didn't have much time left to decide. I could escape the party now, or go through with the crazy
situati
on.
What would Derek think?
He had made it explicitly clear that he encouraged me exploring my kinky nature. But just as clear, he drew the line at sexual intercourse with other men. It sounded like the 'small hole' box would be acceptable to him.
But could I go through with it?
And did I want to?

Just then another girl in a white costume entered the room. The
other
girls quickly swarmed around the new girl, leaving me to myself for the moment. My stomach churned as I stood, still unsure what to do. The thought of hundreds of eyes seeing my fully exposed body stimulated me. Imagining Derek's eyes, somewhere in the crowd, watching made my pussy clench wi
th naughty desire.

But would I find the box
experience
to be sexy or just degrading and painful? Universally, it had sounded like the girls all enjoyed it. Still…

My thoughts were interrupted. I spotted Elise. It had to be her. I wound my way through the milling girls, trying to get closer to the girl who looked like the picture of Elise that I had studied. When I had gotten about five feet
away
from her, I was sure it must be the right girl.

"Elise?"

The girl's head whipped around to my direction. She spotted me right away and took the two steps toward me before grabbing my arm in a painful grip and marching
me toward the side of the room.

She hissed sharply in my ear. "Shhh. Call me
Sasha
. Who are you?"

I lowered my voice. "I'm, uh, Katia. I'm here with Derek. He's been looking for you."

Elise scanned the room making sure no one was listening. "Derek Vaughn? He should just leave me alone. I'm not a part of that life anymore. Tell him to forget about me."

Elise looked ready to bolt. I had to convince her to listen. "Your family doesn't know what happened to you. They think you could be dead. You've got to talk to Derek. He's been through a lot to find you."

Her fingers were still digging painfully into my arm. "It's better if they just think I'm dead. Tell Derek to leave me alone or I'll get
T
he Senator to
talk
to him."

Elise stalked off after her vicious threat. But not before I got a good look at the elaborate beaded mask in her hand.
