Heather broke the silence. “So Jack, how did end up with all this?”

“Not so mysterious Heather. I had a dairy farm and my health couldn't keep up so I sold it. A friend of a friend owned this place and while it was nearly condemned I thought the bones are beautiful so I thought, why not bring it back to life. Which was a stupid idea, I sold my farm because I couldn't handle the work and bought something that would take too much work by far.”

Heather nodded, obviously she had another question but wasn't sure about asking it. “so ice creams pay your bills?”

Jack Laughed “Nooo, I have a good amount invested. This place only costs money. I've got Bitcoin and a couple of other investments that hopefully do well. One is interesting actually. Has a young co founder who is either a mad genius or delusional. He's building a tool that can let anyone tell a story with the help of AI and apparently turn it into a film, tv series, books. I like that idea, we all have stories and a different view and perspective of life”

Luna had been fairly quiet most of the night but this peaked her interest. With Kimoko's big energy anyone seemed quiet though in comparison. Tonight at least for sure.

“What story would you tell Jack? I'd be interested to see what you came up with. You must have thought about it.”

“Yeah I've got a few idea's Luna, I'll show you when they're done”

Heather just wanted to know how to invest. “how do we get in on this? And how do I know this mad guy is legit?”

“well, you just buy one of their NFT's and you're sorted. It's like a startup though so you know, no guarantees. Maxi, that's the mad genius, he's doxxed. Pretends to have autism but that's just code for being good and knowing about nerdy computer and AI stuff and being a bit socially blunt”

Luna had a wry smile “so you've got autism Jack?”

“hahahaha! Touche! The other co founder is big into charity, on the board of Lions International so these guys are genuine. That's about all you can ask. Competent and genuine with an idea I like. Anyway enough of investment talk, I just remembered with all the excitement I haven't made up beds for you girls yet”

A voice came from the hall. “You think you've had excitement so far you've seen nothing yet. Luna, come here”

Luna headed to the hallway and whispered conversation was had, instructions were passed on from Kimoko. Luna came back into the room with a coupld of boxes. She pulled out a wooden contraption, put in on the table in front of Jack and tied it to the table with rope stretching underneath. Then she pulled out another piece of wood, attached and palced it on top.

“oh, this doesn't look good”

It looked like a Pillory.

Luna finished setting up and whispered to Jack,

“you'll be ok Jack, just remember your safe word”

Oh fuck. Kimoko did say something about a safe word. Jack was being too much of a tough guy to pay attention.

Kimoko entered the room.

She was dressed all in leather, well parts of her were. Far more skin was showing than leather. She had strips of leather going around her body in strategic places. Thinner strips than most people would be willing to wear. Any sudden movements and her breasts could pop out above or below a particular strip. Really though, most of them were, above and below the leather. Risky in the extreme. Naughty. Incredibly sexy. Jack felt very self concious. His eyes couldn't help but be drawn to Kimoko and her body in between trying not to look and being respectful.

Luna and Heather were both laughing and Jack. “you look like a possum in the headlights Jack, relax, it's fine. Enjoy the show”

Kimoko made her way around the table and next to Jack. Something hung from her hand.

“Up!” she commanded. Jack did as he was told.

“now put the back of your chair against he table and kneel on it”

The back of the chair was low so only came up to the height of the table. Jack knelt on the chair. He didn't see what else he could do.

“Now, elbows on the table, put your head on here and your hands in there”

A pillory. Where his wrists and neck would go into half circles in the wood and when the top was put on, he'd be completely restrained and at anyones mercy. He wasn't so keen on the idea.

“can we skip this part by any chance?”

Kimoko smiled sweetly at Jack. Lifted up what she was holding in her hand. It was the whip like object that Jack had picked up after Kimoko was bringing boxes in from the car.

“are you a horse Jack?”

Jack was getting nervous. “You did ask me that earlier, I think I'll have to say no”

Kimoko ran the leather strands that came out of the hard leather handle through her fingers. “That's good to hear because I'd never flog a horse”

With lightning speed Kimoko hit Jack on the backside with the flogger, hard. “Get your head and hands in my pillory”

Jack was a bit shocked. The sting from the hit and the tone of command in Kimoko's voice had him obeying without thinking. As he leaned forward onto the table he looked up at Luna. She nodded reassuringly. Ok, can't be that bad surely. His head and neck in place, Kimoko brought the top half of the device over and locked it in place. It was not a very nice feeling. He was completely at her mercy. Locked in and no way to get out. Kimoko hung the leather strands in front of Jacks face.

“Let me introduce you to my flogger. This can be a tool of pleasure or pain Jack, the choice is yours. Mostly mine but yours as well”

She drew it close to Jacks face, letting the strips brush his face.

“Pretty interesting for a vegan to have so much leather, I mean I'm not judging just and observation”

WHACK! The sound echoed in the hall. Jack's arse was on fire. Kimoko wasn't playing around here. She brought her face right up close to his.

“Keep going with the smart comments slave and see what happens” She waited for him to respond. Sensibly, he didn't.

“Good. I am your mistress and I like to be pleased. Please me, I'll reward you. When I'm not pleased... you saw some of that already. You know my boots aren't as shiny as I'd like”

Kimoko, showing amazing dexterity, plonked her boot down right in front of his face. Jack couldn't see very far up but was he could see of the leg coming out of the boot, it was spectacular.

“Slave, lick my boots, NOW”

This wasn't feeling like much of a present. He opened his mouth to say something, paused, considered the sting that was developing on his backside, and licked.

Heather started to clap. “this is so exciting! I've never seen one of these. It's like one of those live sex shows in Amsterdam you hear about that everyone does on those holiday tours”

Jack involunteerilly tried to stand up. The Pillory lifted partly off the table as the rope caught and restricted it's motion. What the hell was he in for here!

Luna tried to calm him a bit. “it's ok Jack, powerful men pay a lot of money for this and given Kimoko's repeat custom she's very good”

Kimoko hit the table with her flogger “corection, men who THINK they're powerful. I think we've scared our little puppy here, no live sex show Heather. We're not going that far”

Jack was about as relieved as Heather looked dissappointed.

“Lets see if my little puppy likes a little pleasure though”

She moved out of Jacks' sight. Disconcertingly he felt her undoing his belt.

“Lemons!” Jack said it louder than he intended. Kimoko laughed. The belt was unbuckled and he felt Kimoko's arm reach around his body in a hug, using both hands to undo the button on his jeans.

“Grapefruit!” Fuck. Nothing. Jack couldn't for the life of him remember the safe word. Something citrus is all he knew. His fly was being unzipped. Jack was too embarrassed to say he forgot the safe word given that he'd taken the piss out of needing one in the first place. His shirt was gently and purposefully being pulled out of his loosened jeans. Kimoko reached soft warm hands under his shirt, pulling them up and around his back and sliding the shirt up as far as it would reach. The soft caress of hands over his skin, a sensation he hadn't felt for years, it was so nice but awkward all at once given the circumstance. Kimoko ran the back of her long painted nails up Jack's back. Shivers ran right through him. Again he lifted the pillory an inch off the table, losing the fight against the rope.

“Cumquat?”

The sharp sounds of Kimoko's heeled boots on the wooden floor rang out as she came around and back into Jack's vision. She had a smirk on her face

“Aren't you a tease tonight”

She probably though he was saying things that were close but not the safe word. At least he hadn't had another crack on the arse for it.

“ok birthday boy, now you've had a tiny bit of each pain and pleasure. A tiny bit mind, here comes a question”

This sounded ominious.

“We have lovely ladies here” She gestured to Heather and Luna.

“which one would you like to get your birthday kiss from?”

“Oh I don't need any birthday kisses...”

Quick as lightning Kimoko took two steps behind Jack, whipped down his loose jeans revealing his boxers and WHACK!

Jack yelped at that one. Yep, that one hurt. “Oranges! Oranges!” “Do I need to repeat the question?”

Jack shook his head. Sweat had broken out over his body.

“I didn't hear an answer Jack”

Kimoko ran the ends of the dangling leather on her flogger over the stinging and in part numbing point of impact on his right cheek. The thin material of his boxers proving to be not much of a barrier.

“NO! No I heard it”

“Heard it what? What do you call me puppy?” “Mistress! No mistress”

“Very good puppy. See how much I like you? I'm not even calling you my slave. I'll add that this birthday kiss is going to be a heavenly romantic kiss from a romance film you understand puppy? A proper kiss”

Shit, this was not going in any sort of direction he thought. Jack was furiously trying to think of a way out.

“I... I think I couldn't choose.... WHACK! His left cheek was now burning. Surely that drew blood. “LUNA!! Luna”

“See puppy? That's better”

Luna laughed and blushed, holding her hands to her cheeks.

“Poor Jack! I would definitely have used a safe word by now”

Heather was just wondering to herself if she would get a go with the flogger, it looked fun to be in control like that.

Jack risked another crack on the arse. “I don't want to be forcing Luna into a kiss like that, I mean...”

Kimoko was already prepared for that response. “Luna is a big girl, she can say no any time. Can you say no though Jack if you don't want to? Does my puppy not like kisses? Tell me the truth now” Kimoko started drawing circles on Jacks' bare back with her finger nails as she spoke.

“say no, one hit with the flogger. Say yes, 2 hits”

Still some glow of the whiskey, a stinging bum. A very pleasurable and almost arousing feeling from Kimoko's fingers and more than any of that, Jack's head was full of the prospect of the kind of kiss Kimoko mentioned with Luna. He was torn between what he thought was right and wrong in a larger context but if he was honest with himself he desperately wanted to say yes. Kimoko's hand lifted off Jack's back and he heard the quick motion of the flogger being quickly raised.

“YES! Ok, I say yes”

Kimoko whispered in his ear. “You do realise, all joking aside you can whisper in my ear the safeword”

This was his chance. He could end the evening here. Just whisper in Kimoko's ear that he'd forgotten it. The truth was though, now he didn't want to. Two hard hits from that flogger for a kiss like that? And fucks sake she could hit hard. Yes, he really didn't care how hard the hits were. He shook his head.

Kimoko pursed her lips and whispered “Good puppy” then nibbled his ear. More nerve endings that sent a shiver through his body. At this stage Jack was hoping he could quickly pull up his jeans.

Kimoko looked Luna right in the eyes and spoke above a whisper but not by much. A husky sexy voice. “Luna? You wanna play? It's Jacks' birthday after all”

Luna shook her head. “you're a very naughtly girl!”

Jack saw Luna shake her head. That made him feel pretty stupid about the whole thing.

Luna pushed back her chair back, stood up and “yes Kimoko, I'm in”

Heather cheered. Kimoko positioned Luna to stand just so, surrounded by candles not only on the floor but behind her on some shelves. Then she moved to Jack.

“Ok puppy, now I'm going to let you out of your cage but you I'm watching. If you don't recreate an amazing movie scene quality kiss, trust me, there will be punishment”

“Ok, I understand mistress” WHACK!!

“OWW”

“That was just because you didnt even consider me as a possibility for your birthday kiss” With that, Kimoko unlocked Jack from his prison. Jack unceremoniously fumbled with his belt and jeans. Pulling his jeans up over his stinging backside was an arduous task. He was so relieved to be free, so intent on protecting any modesty he had left that he was all fidgety and stumbles. At last he got himself in order. He looked at Kimoko, she nodded at him. He looked at Heather, she was beaming. It was only then that he dared look up and see Luna. The candle light, the shadows dancing on the wall behind and across her face. She'd taken off her coat and stood in a white top with puffy sleeves. The light could be seen dancing through the edges. This was like more than a movie, it was a dream.

Jacks mind was clear.

The dull glow of whiskey was still there of course, it had been a very long day so a background weariness was mixed in. The aftermath of moral battles had been cut through, possibly by the pain from Kimoko's tool of torture.

For all of those reasons Jack's mind was clear, unburdened. He was left with this vision of indescribable beauty and his desire. He took a breath. Not too deep as to disturb his lungs and start coughing. He started to smile, Luna smiled excitedly back. He couldn't stop smiling. He walked surely over and stood in front of Luna. Luna made to speak and Jack quickly held up a finger that silenced her. He gently held his finger near her lips, very close but not touching. He studied her face in the candlelight as he moved his fingers to the side of her face. He watched intently as he took his fingertips, touching as gently as he could, the side of her face. Drawing them down to her jaw and across and under her chin. Luna closed her eyes and enjoyed the sensation. Jack moved her hair away and caressed her neck and moved closer. Cheek touching cheek. Light and slow touch. He felt her warmth on his face. His on hers. Jack could see, feel Luna's pulse quickening to match his. He faced her again, caressed her face and she opened his eyes. Those eyes. Those incredibly deep blue eyes. Jack couldn't help but smile again and luna smiled back. He looked at her lips. He touched his to hers. Just a touch, then another. Luna opened her mouth a little and they kissed. Slowly, delicately, sensuously.

Jack snapped out of the bubble he'd been in as Heather started clapping. “that was so amazing!! what a night! We need another drink!”

Heather was wiping away tears. Jack had forgotten she was even there for a while there but now the moment was over.

Kimoko approved too. “ok puppy, well done. I hope you enjoyed your birthday present from me” She curtsied. Endangering her modesty with that top she was wearing. That wasn't something that concerned her though. The rest of the night was unremarkable. Blowing out candles, finding blankets. Heather ubered home. They all seemed to realise at once how tired and drunk they all were. Happy Birthday Jack.
