“It’s time for all submissives to go get changed. Make your way to the changing rooms. For those Masters and Mistresses who have been asked to assist, proceed to your posts.”

I glanced over at Troy. “What’s going on?”

He shrugged. “No clue. I didn’t know this was going to be a formal process.”

Neither did I.

Zeke whistled again. “Don’t make me tell you again, subs! Get your asses into those changing rooms!”

Yeah. Okay.

Evidently, it was time to go get changed.

“ARE YOU READY FOR THIS?” Greg asked as we remained at the bar while the others herded the submissives toward the dressing rooms.

It could only be described as organized chaos. Questions were being launched by both Doms and submissives, no one quite knowing what was going on.

“More than ready,” I told my friend.

Landon and Langston walked over and they were both laughing.

“What’s so funny?” Greg asked.

Langton shook his head. “We just learned Dale took Luci out of the lounge a little while ago. It looks as though our little sub’s lookin’ for some punishment tonight.”

My eyes widened as I realized what that meant.

“Oh, no,” Landon added quickly. “She didn’t say anything. But he didn’t want to risk it, so he yanked her out of there.”

I sighed, relief swarming me.

It had taken quite a bit of work to get tonight in order, and the last thing I wanted was for someone to reveal my plan before I could put it in motion. As it was, only a few of my closest friends knew what was about to take place here tonight, and I needed to keep it that way for a little while longer.

“How long do you think it’ll take for a bunch of submissives to get changed?” Zeke asked, his tone hard like usual. “Think I should go move things along?”

Greg laughed. “No. I think you should sit your big ass down before you scare them all out of here.”

Zeke’s grin was wicked. “The doors are locked. They’re stuck with me for the time being.”

I was sure a few of the submissives would be trembling with eagerness once they realized how true that was. I knew of two for sure.

Justin and Ben joined us and I took that to mean Ben wasn’t in submissive mode tonight.

“They’re all doing what they’re supposed to be doing,” Justin informed me. “Jane is overseeing the females and Ransom volunteered to keep an eye on the males.”

Aside from the five men standing beside me, Jane and Ransom were the only other two who had any idea what I had planned for tonight. In fact, they’d helped to pull it all together and I was forever grateful to them for that.

“Are you nervous?” Zeke asked. The glint in his eyes said he hoped that I was.

“Not even a little.” Honestly, I’d thought I would be nervous. Ever since I put this plan in motion earlier in the week, I’d expected some sort of meltdown. It never came and the closer to tonight that we got, for some reason, I started to relax even more.

“So, I hear Clarissa accepted the job,” Greg said, his attention on Landon and Langston.

“She did.” Landon’s face showed his approval. “In fact, she’s agreed to come on board immediately. And I’ve asked Jane to help her conduct interviews for the staff she’s going to need.”

“Probably ought to get her floor set up first, huh?” Greg said with a chuckle.

“Workin’ on it. In the meantime, she’ll office on Justin’s floor,” Langston said.

Before they could get too deep into shop talk, McKenna Murphy strolled up with her husband, Tag, at her side. I got to my feet, offering McKenna a hug and Tag a handshake before taking my seat once more.

“This is quite impressive,” McKenna said with a smile. “I had no idea you’d have this big of a turnout.”

“People like him,” Zeke said, his big thumb pointing in my direction. “Although I don’t know why.”

“We’ve got a full house here,” I told them. “Most of the invitations were accepted right away.”

“Doesn’t surprise me,” she noted. “I hear only good things about your clubs.”

Zeke stood tall and cleared his throat. “All right, so I want to make sure we’re all clear here.” Zeke looked at me. “You’ve agreed to allow her to do an audio recording, correct?”

“Yes. Audio only.”

He glanced at McKenna. “And you’ve agreed to surrender the recorder once that’s done. I’ll return it to you when you leave.”

I knew McKenna and Tag would be staying all night, and since she wanted to ensure she had accurate details for her story, I had agreed to allow an audio recorder in.

“Absolutely,” the pretty redhead told him. “You’re even welcome to stand by me until it’s over.”

“No need,” he said, although I noticed the concern in his eyes. Zeke was a stickler for privacy and having even part of tonight’s festivities recorded was against my rules.
