Alex

By Ava J. Smith

Elena thought signing up to The Club was the wildest thing she could ever do. An anonymous membership to a place where physical intimacy between complete strangers was the highlight of the menu, where discreet liaisons took place in cozy, darkened corners.

And yet, as she navigated the thrilling and dangerous maze of The Club, Elena found herself succumbing to things she would never speak of, not to mention breaking The Club's ultimate rule as soon as Alex touched her...

The Tango of Temptation

*

NERVOUS? JESS smiled at her.

Elena started to smile and wave it off but there was something about Jess that stopped her automatic responses and Elena said, Well, a little.

It’s good to be a little nervous. It means you’re cautious. She added later, Aware of your situation.

Are you trying to scare me?

Jess laughed. I did just sound like I was, didn’t I? She took Elena’s arm and pulled her closer in a friendly gesture that surprised Elena a little bit. I think I get a bit candid sometimes, especially around people like you.

People like me? Now Elena was surprised that she had started to grin. Jess was definitely good at her job if she was trying to put her at ease.

Yeah. I don’t know why but with you, and this aunt I have, I just feel free to talk and speculate... she gave Elena an exaggerated sideway look. You people should come with a label or warning so I know not to blab in your presence.

Elena laughed. Maybe I like it when you blab.

Well, I do have to blab a little now. Come this way for a bit.

The younger woman led Elena to a small, cosy room off the main hall. It was decorated in dark tones, plush and comfortable with big couches and cushions. Waving her to take a seat, Jess left her for a small bar on the corner, quickly pulling out glasses.

Wine? Red or white? At Elena’s look of hesitation, Jess grinned. It’s already 7, you know.

Ah. It’s not that... Elena shook her head. Anyway, sure. White.

So. Jess handed Elena her glass and clinked it gently with her own. You’re in for your intro coaching today. Any question, maybe?

Elena took a sip. It was good, and warming.

Nothing specific, I think. Just... maybe you can tell me what do you do during intro coaching?

Well, for starters, not everybody gets intro coaching. We have such sessions for clients like you, who have some reservations about getting up close and personal with strangers.

Jess adopted a more serious tone now. We would like to make it standard OP actually but as you know, right now we charge for such session and to make it SOP will not be sensible business wise... Anyway, we wish we could because some of the safety measures that we need to underline and emphasize are a lot more effectively conveyed during intro coach.

Are safety such a big concern? Elena flustered. I mean, of course it should be but with your establishment and its reputation, I should imagine it is not as big...?

True, Jess gave her a quick grin. Then again, you’d be surprised at how many people just forget some basic common sense. Some people are too polite to say No, some people think bad things could never happen to them. That kind of thing.

Elena nodded slowly. I think I know what you mean.

Jess nodded in reply. We are cautious and that is why we earn the reputation we have right now. Intro coaching, well part of it, will highlights the things you need to watch out for, and the things you can do to get out, should there be situations you are not comfortable with.

That sounds sensible.

Thanks, Jess smiled. The other part, well, it’s the fun part.

Elena took another sip of her wine. Do tell me more.

Jess laughed. You look like death. Seriously you seem more accepting when we talk about safety measures.

Do I? Elena chuckled.

Come on, Jess tugged at Elena’s hand, her legs moved to tuck themselves under her lap. Tell me what concerns you and we’ll see if we can work something out.

Elena looked at the younger woman for a while before following suit, placing her legs underneath herself, sitting more comfortably on the cosy couch.

Nothing big, I don’t think. It’s just... normal nervousness, I guess? About getting physically intimate with strangers and all that.

Jess nodded again. "There is something comforting about anonymity in The Club but of course it is weird to be cuddling with complete strangers. Which is why we hope intro coaching will be a
