Shane walked back into LNF, cracking her knuckles as
if she were about to be in a fight, the smell drifted to her nose, and
she laughed inside.

Vanilla.

Leave it to Tina to be so tongue in cheek. She was noticing the place
much more now, different from Susan’s other club. She saw Tina, sitting
with Susan; she stiffened as she moved to them. She’d been right, it
was Susan, ***** Susan Birch.

“Tina.” Shane said, moving into the booth, there were only two booths here, more for the Dom/mes than anyone else.

“Shane, what are you doing here?” Tina asked, dressed in dark red
leather from head to toe and Shane found it rather alluring but she
said nothing. It wasn’t the outfit that she’d seen earlier either. She
licked her lips and bit her bottom lip, stammering.

“Um” Shane began, but Susan cut her off.

“Hello, Shane.” Susan said, undressing the tomboy with her eyes and
appreciating what she saw. This one had gotten away from her once, and
Susan never forgot it, never gave up. She snapped her fingers, a female
sub coming to the table, painfully bound. Her hands lashed to her
ankles, forced to crawl in this manner, her forehead to the ground.

“Yes, Mistress.” The young woman muttered softly.

“A drink for Shane. What shall you have Shane?”

“Nothing.” Shane said, sitting stiffly.

“If you don’t drink, I’ll be forced to have her whipped; she’s in
punishment and cannot stay still. She’s going to be Tina’s training sub
starting tomorrow. I want her docile.” Susan fixed Shane with her eyes,
luring her in.

“Ok.” Shane cut her gaze off and said, “I’ll have a water, just water.”
The sub scurried off and Shane was amazed that Tina didn’t bat an eye.

“Tina, can I talk to you?” Shane pleaded, her mind in total turmoil.

“Of course,” Tina arranged her face carefully. Everyone had been slowly
pulling away from her; her cool demeanor was nothing like what she’d
been like when she’d been Bette’s good little wife. They were all going
to have to adjust; she was.

“Privately.” Shane glared at Susan for one brief instant, before Susan pinned her with her eyes.

“Anything you say, you can say in front of Susan. She’s my new boss,
Shane.” Tina said, a bit of shyness in the voice, but then she
straightened up and looked Shane in the eyes.
