Ruby by Heather Burnside (carter reed txt) 📗

‘Aah,’ said Victor, shaking her hand vigorously while his head nodded in time. ‘Our Asian Princess.’

Ruby laughed. ‘Sounds like a good title… She’s come from Denny’s too so she’s also brought some clients over with her.’

Victor’s head twitched again. ‘Excellent! It looks like they had some very pretty girls at Denny’s.’

Ruby then introduced Victor to the other of the three girls from Denny’s, an overweight girl called Pammy who wasn’t quite as pretty as Rose and Ria. His reaction wasn’t as enthusiastic, but Ruby knew that Pammy was also a good find. She catered to those clients who preferred a larger woman and, although she wasn’t the best looking girl on her books, she oozed sensuality. And the other good point as far as Ruby was concerned was that she’d brought almost as many clients with her as each of the other two girls.

She continued introducing the girls, pleased with her selection. As well as the younger girls, there was an older lady who Ruby thought would make an ideal MILF and a posh girl who had dropped out of university. Ruby could tell by Victor’s reaction that he was impressed.

‘It’s lovely to meet you all,’ he said, his eyes roaming excitedly from girl to girl. ‘I hope you’ll be very happy with us.’

Ruby could tell what he was thinking; he was looking at the girls with his own desires in mind. Despite her experience as a prostitute, this was one thing she didn’t like about Victor. While she was trying to take as professional an approach as possible, here was Victor leering at the girls, his smutty mind working overtime. She quickly led him away.

‘Come on, I’ll show you the rest of the place.’

As they walked from room to room, they chatted. Victor surprised her when he said, ‘I’m not sure Pammy is right for us.’

‘Why?’ demanded Ruby.

‘Well, she is a bit overweight, isn’t she? And she’s not as attractive as the other girls.’

Ruby was quick to defend her choice. ‘But the customers love her, and she’s brought quite a few with her from Denny’s.’

‘Really?’

‘Yes, almost as many as Rose and Ria, actually.’

Victor looked pensive for a moment. ‘OK. Keep her for now. We’ll see how she goes.’

‘I thought I was running the place,’ said Ruby.

‘Of course,’ said Victor, all officious. ‘But as you’re new to the business world I will be offering my guidance on occasion. Anyway,’ he continued, shutting down any potential comeback from Ruby, ‘how are things going otherwise?’

Ruby, although a bit irritated by his attitude, was eager to prove herself. After all, she felt lucky to have been given this opportunity. ‘Good, good,’ she said. ‘Obviously all of the three girls from Denny’s have brought some customers with them, like I said. It’s a bit slow with the other girls until word gets around but we’ve already had some customers come up from the nightclub.’

‘Excellent. I’m sure it won’t be long till it really takes off,’ said Victor.

‘Yeah, it’s good that we’re getting custom from North, but if any of them are too pissed or they step out of line, I’ll send them packing.’

Victor placed his hand on top of Ruby’s. ‘Good. I knew I could rely on you to run a tight ship.’

Ruby quickly pulled her hand away and carried on talking as she led him into the first of the girls’ rooms. Like the waiting area, the rooms were a mix of cosy and seductive with subtle lighting and comfortable furnishings.

‘All of the rooms have the same layout with the exception of one which I’ll show you last.’ She then pointed to a cabinet across from the bed. ‘The girls provide their own baby wipes and condoms and anything else they want to bring. We ask them to keep them in the cabinet so in the event of a raid we can deny all knowledge.’

She then walked out of the room and into a shower room. ‘This is one of the shower rooms I told you about. We have one to every two bedrooms so the clients and the girls can take a shower and we’ll make sure we always have a supply of clean towels.’

‘Excellent,’ said Victor, smiling. ‘It seems you’ve thought of everything.’

Ruby couldn’t resist smiling back, proud of what she’d achieved so far. Once she’d shown him round all the rooms she led him to a door marked Private. ‘There’s only one room left to show you apart from my living quarters, which I assume you don’t want to see.’ As Victor nodded his assent, she added, ‘You can probably guess what the last room is.’

Victor’s face broke out into a huge grin and Ruby could see spittle forming in the corners of his mouth. As she put the key in the lock and turned it, Victor’s head jerked involuntarily in his eagerness to see the inside of Ruby’s Dungeon.

‘Obviously, I couldn’t give the room its proper name like I wanted to,’ she said when they had arrived at the top of the stairs. ‘It would have been a bit of a giveaway if any coppers came snooping.’

But Victor wasn’t listening. He was too busy walking round the room and examining the apparatus, his eyes gleaming. This room had a different feel than the others; it was darker, the walls painted a vivid red and the floor laid with black vinyl. There was a bed in the corner with a metal frame so that chains and other restraints could be attached, and it was covered with scarlet satin bedding. The equipment was placed around the room like a grotesque gymnasium and, as Victor inspected the stocks, cage and some of the whips, he could hardly contain his excitement.

He turned round and looked at Ruby with a lewd grin. ‘You’ve done well. I can’t wait to try it out.’ Then he asked, ‘Where will you offer your other services, y’know, those that don’t involve S&M?’

‘I won’t,’ snapped Ruby, suddenly irritated. ‘And it isn’t S&M. I’m a dominatrix. I inflict pain,
