  74. Don't miss out!

Since he had a big contract coming up, one which could really set him up to move into a more expensive market downtown, Luke pushed all of his personal life problems aside. He’d just focus on work for now and figure the rest out later.

Looking around the darkly seductive, high-gloss finishes of the main second story room in Marquis, DC’s newest BDSM club, Luke felt a certain amount of pride. And anticipation.

Neither emotion was surprising.

After all, not only was he a silent partner in the club, but his company, LD Construction and Remodeling, had done the work to turn the old speakeasy restaurant and office building into its current formation. Downstairs a large chunk of it was still a restaurant, which his younger brother Nick would soon be the Executive Chef of, but a portion of the back was sectioned off, using the same hidden panel the speakeasy had.

That part led to the staircases going up and down. Downstairs was a wine cellar, upstairs was where the fun could be had. The second floor was mostly devoted to the main room, although there was also a very small foyer which led to both the main room as well as two large changing rooms with attached bathrooms available for use. The foyer itself was richly furnished with maple wood furniture, dark red velvets and brocades, and leather padded walls, despite its smallness.

The main room was decorated in the same theme, with little alcoves set all around the room. Each alcove had its own table and bench seats, custom made by Andrew Baez who specialized in BDSM carpentry. The seats were also padded with black leather–courtesy of Patrick Murphy, one of the other shareholders in Marquis, who had designed the alcoves personally. Patrick also owned another BDSM club, Stronghold, which had become so popular he’d decided to open a cousin club. Now he, Luke, and Michael Waverly were all partners in Marquis, the more upscale, more decadent, and more expensive club. For anyone who wanted raw sex and leather, who wanted their BDSM to be loud, sinful, and rough, Stronghold was the place to go.
