THE BOULEVARD OF BROKEN DREAMS

THREE (RUBY POV)

"Good morning, Ruby Rose, welcome back to the Boulevard of Broken Dreams. Come in, please."

"Good morning... Madame," I answer hesitating but she smiles and nods confirming that the session has begun and I've done the right thing. The dungeon, that's not actually a dungeon, looks exactly the same than two weeks ago: clean, luminous and very stylish, a room that could be the cover of an interior design magazine... if it weren't for the pulleys and ropes. All the equipment is stored inside cabinets and I have no clue about what we're going to do, my stomach feels a bit upset because of that but I try to ignore it while watching her mesmerized. "You look... stunning..."

"Thank you," Iselen smirks mischievously. "You too." I blush slightly because she's noticed that I've picked out a delicate silk shirt, one of the best garments in my wardrobe, to come to this date but it can't be compared to the gorgeous and very expensive red silk satin La Perla nightgown she's wearing. It's long and covers almost her entire body except her arms, the top area of her breasts and half of her back, but flows like water against her legs and her waist shining like a bright flame under the sunlight, it's embellished on the neckline and back with flowers made of black lace embroidered on tulle that look almost like a tattoo on her skin and even has a short train like an evening gown. Iselen moves two steps towards me and I realize she's barefoot... For some reason, her bare feet with pale skin are the most sensual thing I've ever seen in my life.

"That's the bathroom door, you can go and freshen up a little if you want, take your clothes off and put on the black silk robe you'll find on the hanger... Take the time you need."

I nod quietly and seek refuge in the gorgeous white marble bathroom, surprised by the big size of the bathtub and the shower cabin, before dropping my backpack on a wooden bench. I try to focus on taking my clothes and sneakers off, washing up with precise movements, folding my clothes neatly, tying the belt of the incredibly soft robe... I'm trying to stop my mind from wandering because I don't want to get more nervous but it's really difficult. I've been fighting against myself and my doubts for two weeks, reaching the conclusion that this is the best for me, but now I'm here and it's real, not only a racy conversation while eating macarons, and the only thing I want to do is put my clothes on again and run away.

"Don't be a coward, Ruby," I whisper taking a deep breath before going back to the room. The hardwood floor is warm under my feet and thick carpets muffle my footsteps. Iselen turns around and stops looking through the window to fix her eyes on me, smiling satisfied when seeing my bare legs. Her pretty lips are clean, no lipstick, but has highlighted her eyes with a little touch of dark eyeshadow, the color on her rosy cheeks looks natural...

"I want you to remain standing, please, your back straight, look down with your hands entwined on your lower back... That's the basic resting position that a sub always takes in front of their Dom." I obey feeling my heart racing although I'd prefer to keep looking at her, not only because she looks beautiful but because I want to know what she's planning to do. The sound of the satin grazing the floor tells me that she's moving and the temptation to take a quick peep is very big. "Do you want know what we're going to do or have decided you trust me and will let me guide you blindly?" I can't help looking up but she doesn't scold me, she's just looking back at me while my mind is a whirlwind of thoughts and fear makes my stomach clench. I don't know what I'm doing here or why I'm not leaving.

"I'd like to know it... Madame," I answer with a shaky voice and she nods understandingly.

"You're cautious and that's good... It'll be a challenge to show you that you can trust me... I love a good challenge." Iselen points at the big divan upholstered in dark blue velvet. "I want you to take the robe off and lie down, I'm not tying you up but will use a blindfold... And I'm going to touch you..."
