it took her breath away. He wore
shorts, no shirt and his feet were bare. “Hungry?”
    “Very.” She smoothed her hair down and wondered how bad she
looked. “I must’ve crashed after we made love. I don’t remember you inviting me
to stay the night. Hope I didn’t put you out.”
    He put his arm around her and kissed her forehead. “Not at
all. I’m glad you stayed.”
    “No whips and chains last night,” she teased.
    “Are you disappointed?” He brought their plates to the table
and Emma, noticing the coffeepot, poured coffee. They sat and began to eat.
    “Maybe a little.” She grinned.
    He watched her over the top of his coffee cup. “Do you think
you’d feel comfortable being naked in front of people at Dark Odyssey?”
    “In that environment, I could. I’d feel less self-conscious
than I did at the restaurant and I managed an orgasm.”
    He laughed. “What about having sex?”
    “I guess it would depend on the heat of the moment.”
    “Some clubs don’t allow intercourse but Dark Odyssey does
because it’s part of TropiX.” Adrian took her hand. “Come on. I have something
to show you.”
    Back inside his bedroom, he opened his closet. It looked
like any other man’s closet, except for the suits he had lab coats and scrubs.
He took out a duffle bag, placed it on the bed and unzipped it. “I keep most of
my toys in here so I don’t freak out my cleaning lady.” He opened the bag to
show her a variety of floggers from small to large size, a cane and different
types of paddles. There were ropes and nipple clamps, fur cuffs and collars,
lube and a variety of dildos and butt plugs.
    “That could provide hours of entertainment,” she said,
grinning.
    “At least. Next Saturday then at Dark Odyssey. These objects
will give you something to think about. We’ll talk about your safeword and
limits first.”
    “Okay. Saturday.”

    Monday morning at Scandal Emma wanted to quit her
job. If it wasn’t that she needed the money to pay rent and needed Vivian’s
recommendation and connections, she would’ve given her notice. Vivian gave her
an ultimatum—write the article on TropiX and Dark Odyssey or look for work elsewhere.
Emma knew James wanted this high-profile assignment and he’d have no qualms
about ruining people’s privacy.
    It wasn’t just that Emma had issues with this article, she
had issues with the philosophy at Scandal . Emma’s heart wasn’t in it.
She was a good reporter and a good writer but exposing people rubbed her the
wrong way. Her boss justified it by saying, “When the rich and famous do
naughty things in public, they have to expect someone will write about it. Why
not Scandal ?”
    Emma had applied at other newspapers and magazines without
any luck. She didn’t have enough experience. Vivian had the connections and
always held that over everyone’s heads. Plus this job paid well. She was
screwed for the moment. With the threat of unemployment lines, Emma wrote the
sleazy article, a few versions of it. Commercial Pilots Love the Kinky
Swingers’ World included Carter and Cynthia. Even though they were very
open about their lifestyle, they were her friends and she’d have to ask them
first. Another version, Runway Model and Her Plastic Surgeon into Bondage ,
included Tatiana Petrovna and her plastic surgeon . The one thing she
refused to do was mention Adrian’s name. She also wrote a tame third version of
the article, without naming names, including the model, Carter, Cynthia and
Adrian where she mentioned people in vague circumstances, adding her own
personal experience and observations, making a point that many people with
professional careers visited the club.
    That article was good, entertaining, informative, intriguing,
even racy, but without invading privacy. After printing out all the articles,
she reviewed them. No matter what, she wasn’t going to destroy people’s lives
to propel her career up and out of the gossip tabloid. Staring at her
