In the Blind

By S.J. Maylee

Jane thinks she’s ready to take the risks her business and love life desperately need. Rob’s still punishing himself for a broken relationship that wasn’t meant to last. When the pair let an opportunity pass them by, fate steps in and throws them back together.

An evening of pitch black unrestrained passion at Club Blind opens her eyes to life’s possibilities. Now, if they don’t fight past their personal demons, they might never truly discover what they need most. If they can open their hearts, it might lead them directly to each other where they can discover their truth. If not, they may forever stay in the blind.

DEDICATION

For so many years, I held myself back from exploring the stories in my imagination, fearing I wasn’t capable. I found a way to work past my fears and the flood gates have opened. I’m having the time of my life. May we all find a way past what holds us back and give our dreams a chance.

To Lila, thank you for being patient with me and for keeping your year old promise. I wouldn’t have made it here without your advice.

To Karyn, you did it again! It wasn’t an excerpt I added this time, but a whole chapter. Thank you for continuing to hold my hand.

To Stacey and the whole Evernight family, thank you!

Chapter One

The room was quiet except for the sounds of a dozen women taking off their clothes. Jane slid the final button on her blouse through the hole and enjoyed the slip of the silky fabric as she pulled it from her shoulders. Her last worry from work and botched relationships slid away with the fabric to the bright white floor. She gathered her things and hung them in the cold gray locker and took the short black robe hanging inside.

Tonight, she’d let go like Adam never allowed her to. Just because he never wanted to touch her didn’t mean she didn’t want to be touched. Over the last few months, she’d worked at getting past his digs that had torn away her self-respect. She pushed her brown hair behind her shoulders. She was done thinking her needs were dirty, done thinking she was dirty. With a shake to each limb, she forced the cruelty to release its final hold.

When Anne had given her the brochure on Sunday, she’d thought the idea was crazy. Who had sex with someone they hadn’t met? By the time she finished reading the club’s safe, sane, and consensual policies, she warmed to the idea. A couple of days later, she’d let the possibility settle in. She needed a new experience to put more distance between her and Adam’s nastiness.

Jane turned around and slowly lifted her head. All the women stared at each other. Finally someone asked, Who’s done this before?

I have, said the woman next to Jane. I’ve been here a few times, and it works exactly like you’ve read in the pamphlet.

We really won’t be able to see anything? someone asked.

Nope, not a thing. The staff has to wear night vision goggles. The woman pulled her long hair over her shoulder, stroking it like a favorite blanket. You might be able to hear some of the scenes around you over the music. You can talk, but you don’t have to say anything.

A door opened at the other end of the room. A man stepped in and closed the door behind him. He was dressed in black from head to toe. A pair of night vision goggles sat perched on his forehead.

Good evening, ladies. Thank you for trusting Club Blind with your sexual fantasies. Tonight is male-female one on one night. We have one man for each of you. No matches have been made. He stopped and scratched his ear. I’ll take you one at a time to the rooms. I verified all test results this morning. All are in and clean, but condoms will be worn. Club Blind is not a BDSM club, but the monitors will be listening for safe words. Call out ‘yellow’ if you need your scene to slow and ‘red’ if you want a full stop. For yellows, we’ll monitor your scene and ensure your partner slows. For red, we’ll escort you back to this room. Are there any questions?

The men are already in the rooms? Jane asked.

Yes, naked and waiting. They’re a hungry bunch tonight. Anything else? The room was silent but filled with the kind of excitement that couldn’t be contained. Line up then. Let’s go get ‘em.

Screams of excitement and nerves bounced off the plain walls as the ladies danced into line. Jane wondered, for the tenth time that day, if she was doing the right thing. Was this the best place for her to kiss her sexual slump goodbye? Anne, her best friend, swore by the club. Jane didn’t want to take all the emotion out of the act, but she needed to get out of her own way and remember how freeing release could be.

It had been months since her last orgasm. Of course, having Adam, her jerk of an ex-boyfriend, tell her she was a sexual deviant and unattractive hadn’t done her any favors. Add to that, the only interest she’d shown in the opposite sex was a guy she’d met at a tech convention, and he was kind of married. A divorced man still wearing his ring shouted unavailable. It was just Jane’s luck that he was the one she’d connected with and kept thinking about.

Anne had given her two possibilities last Sunday, sign up for Club Blind or Anne’s favorite, Club Voyage. Jane didn’t think she was ready for a BDSM club like Club Voyage. One fantasy at a time. Instead, she was going to walk willingly into a pitch black club and have sex with a stranger.

She giggled and shook her head, relaxing her body and readying herself for a brand new experience.

Jane was in the middle of the line. A couple of girls had already been taken into the club, and they sure hadn’t wasted any time getting started. Now, each time the door opened moans spilled into the room, husky growls and long drawn out vowels. Jane’s nipples tightened, and warmth awakened her pussy.

Anne had advised her to stand in the back of the line. She claimed the sounds would build her anticipation and clear away her inhibitions. She’d also told her to watch the women around her and enjoy the anticipation of the decadent night ahead.

Many in line were dancing along to the music pumping through the club. The women in front of her swung their hips in tantalizing circles. Jane took in her surroundings and let the moment seep in. She rocked her hips to the rhythm of the music.

Jane wasn’t into women, but she couldn’t deny the sights around her were
