As the rest of the table grabbed their wallets and purses, Jess and Cady helped Erin collect herself. After she took a couple gulps of water and had the girls help her to her feet, she was able to get her body under control. Dressed in all in white, from the bow tie in her hair to the tall anime boots on her feet, she now looked even sluttier than before. Her white lipstick was slightly smeared on her face from her rushed attempts to get eggplant parm into her mouth, and a drop of liquid trickled its way down the inside of her leg past the edge of her mini-skirt into view.
A cab was hailed, and in the back row of seats, Jess looked at her friend, glowing in the manner that only a girl who has just had a proper orgasm can glow.
"So," she whispered playfully out of Lux's earshot, "how was dinner? You *look* like you were enjoying yourself there!"
"That orgasm was intense. Amazing even. But Jess. I could've taken that bite. I don't know what came over me. I feel so stupid."
"Why didn't you?"
"I guess I knew deep down somehow that you really wanted to go to this thing. And that alone made me kinda want to see for myself what it was all about."
Jess giggled, prompting a quick and disciplinary glance from Lux in the front seat. "I knew you could get into this stuff!"
"Well, I definitely wouldn't say I'm into any of this," Erin replied. "I just didn't want to let everyone down. I wanted to please them."
"As all submissives do, Erin."
Erin reached into her pocket and felt for her ring, wondering what Austin would be thinking. He probably would support her, but she still felt ashamed for taking off her ring, even though she knew her loyalty to him was never in doubt. Not knowing what else Lux had in store for tonight, Erin left the bands in her pocket, and placed her hands back on her exposed thighs, palm down.
Meanwhile, Lux was texting Dom George:
"Do you mind if I have Libby take Roxy's spot in the lineup tonight? I'd like to really break her in."
"I can find other ways for Roxy to show off tonight. I'd like to see what your Libby has to offer myself. It was fun seeing you work."
"You flatter me."
";) See you there."
The group's cabs arrived staggered to the destination, and when Erin's ride pulled to the curb, she could hardly believe that this was the spot. They had pulled up to a residential cul-de-sac that was lively - as an understatement - but not anyone's first thought of what a kink setting would be. This was surely no commercial area, but instead looked more like a block party. Cady leaned over to whisper something to Jess, and Erin was able to overhear that "the neighbors were all kinksters who chose to live as neighbors in the same cup-de-sac for privacy" and "their annual Folsom party has only grown year by year."
In the center of the cup-de-sac were ten wooden structures in a horizontal line on an elevated platform.
Lux stepped out, followed by blue, pink, and finally white. She synched up with the other Doms in their party but eventually drifted to other socializing and mingling. Her three prizes stayed within arms reach, as she showed them off to other Doms and Dommes who had travelled into San Francisco for the event. One short, fat woman, her neck adorned by a small but flashy gold key, was accompanied by a man wearing leather pants, a harness on his chest, and a tight latex hood over his head and face. The woman was particularly interested in how Lux had convinced Erin to accompany them here, *dressed so wonderfully* - as she said - after never trying kink until today. Lux gave credit to Jess, but also patted her own back for her ability to spot submission and exploit it.
Erin knew that she wasn't actually a submissive, and that she was simply being coerced, but made no mention of it to this woman. After all, the woman was impressed with her, and who was Erin to spoil her compliments. She even blushed a little when the woman called her a "sexy little thing."
As the night grew on, Erin started to form goosebumps at the chilly wind that nipped her body in places where she was not accustomed to feeling the cold. Despite being acclimatized to the Lake Michigan breeze, her exposed legs, midriff, and pussy were not agreeing with the cool, open air. She nervously looked over her shoulder at the wooden structures, noting that they seemed to be stockades like those portrayed in the history books or old-time movies. "I wonder what kind of medieval show these perverts hope to perform tonight..." she mused.
After pleasantries had commenced for some time, a man dressed in a cape rang a gong in the front yard of the house at the furthest point of the cul-de-sac. Everyone turned to face the center of the circle and a woman dressed in a powerful red corset and heels mounted the stage.
"May I have everyone's attention. Tomorrow is Folsom, and thus marks the 8th anniversary of our pre-Folsom bash. Hopefully you've enjoyed the refreshments and conversation. Plenty more of that to come. But as you all know, the highlight of the night is the FunRaiser, where ten of our brave submissives maintain the watch in the stockades to raise money for next year's party, with excess proceeds going to breast cancer research. As is custom, the prices for each action performed will be listed on the boards in front of the participants. For consent and hygiene, no penis or finger penetration, only penetration by toys and strap-ons. Regis here will enforce these rules wholly without prejudice," she gestured towards a man whose arms likely weighed more than Erin's whole body.
