David stepped into the plush lobby of the House of Ex, feeling perfectly at ease. He'd been attending this exclusive club for a couple of years now, just once every few months, and it had quickly become the highlight of his sex life. It was difficult to go back to the dating scene or his on-and-off-again girlfriend (of exceedingly vanilla tastes) when a reliable and completely satisfying experience waited for him here.
It wasn't cheap, either, but he could afford the best. Ever since his last promotion, the exorbitant membership fee that came with the House of Ex was next to nothing to him, and well worth it.
He was greeted at the desk by a woman he recognised, her auburn hair pinned up into an updo and her trim body parcelled into a tight-fitting leather dress. He'd never been personally serviced by her, but had seen her at the public lounge once or twice, delivering drinks or supplies to club members. "Good evening," she said. "Your card, please."
She had big tits, too, strapped up high and proud. David let his gaze settle on them as he tossed her his membership card, and was enraptured in looking her over enough that it took him a second to realise she was having difficulty scanning it.
"Is there something wrong?" he asked, a little annoyed. Knowing the kinds of pleasures that awaited him, he'd already started to feel his blood rush down towards his cock, adding to his impatience.
"So sorry, sir," the attendant said. "We've been having a little difficulty with our systems tonight. I'm just going to input our ID manually, it won't take a minute."
David sighed loudly, but didn't say anything else, not wanting to slow her down as she struggled to type with her long nails. Even silent, he was sure his irritation was palpable as she anxiously bit her lip, glancing at him apologetically, tried to move faster.
"There we go," she said, handing him back his card. "All done. Shall I take you through?"
"I wish you would," David said, taking his card and pocketing it.
The attendant led him through the main doors, and out into the lower lounge. Here, the level of debauchery was a little more limited than some of the other levels. Men and women in lovely evening wear shared drinks and conversation, but there were telltale differences, like the collars that were worn, or the sheerness of some fabric, and then the occasional near-nude man or woman was led through the room, or made to kneel on cushions. It was, by now, a familiar sight, and David enjoyed the view as he prowled through in the attendant's wake.
When he'd first started coming to the House of Ex, part of the initiation was a series of interviews to ensure he had a perfectly tailored experience. No, you couldn't simply ask for what you wanted at the House of Ex -- you needed to submit to what their team believed you needed, and boy, did they get it right. Before the House of Ex, David believed himself to be a domineering figure in the bedroom, maybe even a sadist, but what he had learned was that he loved to be roughly handled by a woman who wasn't afraid to be cruel. Bondage, whipping, slapping, all that good stuff. Never anything too weird, really, and his orgasm was always guaranteed despite what she might threaten. Deep down, as much as he enjoyed getting beat up by a cute little dominatrix, he knew that her main priority was his pleasure.
He wondered who he would get tonight, and what she had in store for him.

The room he was led into had a large bed positioned in the middle of the room, and a few other pieces of furniture -- a cabinet, a chair, a couch. The lights were low and everything was plush and velvet and rich, comfortable and luxurious. The door closed behind him, and David found himself left alone. A little unusual, but something new always gave him a small thrill of excitement.
He moved towards the bed, spying a glossily black wooden box waiting for him at the end of it. Lifting the led, he chuckled at the item laying inside -- a leather hood. Picking it up, David looked it over. It would slip over the wearer's head and cover it entirely, with a zipper that went down the back and a buckle at the base of the neck. The eyes were masked over, and the mouth had an in-built gag. The small triangle of the under-nose was left uncovered.
Even just holding it, David could feel his cock stir with interest in his pants, and he fidgeted with the zipper only to find one additional detail -- a small padlock that could link through the zipper's tab as well as the buckle, locking it closed. His cock registered its own interest with a twitch, and a second when he didn't see any corresponding key in the box.
It wasn't really a question, whether he would put it on -- he was absolutely going to, impatient already from waiting at the front desk and suspecting that maybe whoever he was going to get tonight was waiting for him to do as implicit instructions asked of him. The main question was whether he wanted to undress first.
In the end, he decided he would just undo the top button of his shirt and loosen the tie to ensure the hood fit comfortably, and then slipped it on. He carefully pushed the gag into his mouth and then pulled the leather over his head, lining up the nose to ensure he could breathe. Blindly, he drew the zipper closed and fixed the buckle, reaching awkwardly behind him to fidget the lock into place.
