The House of "O"'s four openings

Stephanie Meyers owns all things Twilight I'm just borrowing her characters name and appearance, but the kinky things they do are my creation and story. I do not belong to any BDSM groups and have no more knowledge of the subject other than what my research has found, and a very dear friend who's actually participated with in the World of BDSM and some of my opinions will reflect his attitudes and experience

A/N:The following chapter goes into the internal structures of The Houses of "O" and its own Hard Limits. Hard Limits are those to which, there are no exceptions without extensive dialog between interested parties and new agreements signed by all concerned.

Now, please remember that this is a work of fiction and reflects the views of myself. Please do not believe that all those involved with BDSM adhere to these Hard Limits.

The World in which we live our daily lives, is not perfect. If I had been consulted, as to World's laws, many wrongs would never occur. **smiles**

So, I create my own "perfect world" for the characters to operate within.

Humans are impossible to control since we have been gifted with Free Will.

My characters have none of that going for them. They are stuck with me.

Once again, this is a work of fiction and a product of my own twisted mind. Hopefully with enough truth to allow the reader to suspend their personal disbelief.

Chapter 6

The House of "O" Four Openings

It was no secret that the US was experiencing a "downward" turn as far as every aspect of the economy went. So now, was the perfect time to locate a building in the large cities that The House of "O" were to be built in.

Jasper was going to build and manage the House of "O" in Atlanta. Alice Cullen who was already familiar with Atlanta was partnering up with him. They both, much to Ms. O's satisfaction had advanced degrees in business and economics as well as being experienced in the World of BDSM.

It was all coming together and it was a bit scary to Ms. O' that it was. Of course it was planning and foresight that had finally evolved into this stage of the project.

Rosalie Hale and Emmett McCarty were building and managing the NYC House of "O" and they had proved a formidable pair as Ms. O' had suspected and hoped for. NYC had been a tough nut to crack, but Rosalie and Emmett were not without clout in Manhattan. The property was a little more expensive than Seattle, Denver, or Atlanta, but the profitability could prove greater if projections were proven correct. Rosalie was even checking to the possibility of having a weekly TV show highlighting aspects of the NYC House of "O". There were no end of sponsors and the Clubs were large enough to have a ton of features available. NYC would be a test market for this commercial use.

Carlisle and Esme Cullen were building and opening The House of "O" between Denver and Colorado Springs with the hope of attracting military personal. Ms. O' had quipped to Carlisle that "Officers secretly wanted to be dominated and enlisted men wanted to dominate officers. It was a no brainier."

It was a good thing that all went as smoothly as hoped because the construction would have been delayed due to the Winter storm projections – of course as Ms. O' often stated,"... weather men are really idiots and to continue to have the numbers the networks required, the 'personalities' had to justify their existence".

The labor costs had not been as high as projected but the building materials had been a tad higher, so the construction costs were right in line with projections.

Esme Cullen's Interior Design company was hired by The House of "O" to do the interiors for each of the clubs. Esme was brilliant and had a great feel for each part of the county(country). However, since the clubs, for the most part, was(were) housed in tall buildings, she chose light and bright colors for all but the Playrooms themselves. Those rooms were done in black, dark red, or almost black/green paint which would allow touch ups more easily when items that were attached to the walls were moved.

Bella Swan and Edward Cullen were in charge of the Seattle House of "O" and it was already in operation. It was really a beauty to behold. Bella and Edward were proving to be not only experienced and competent, but could hold their own with the labor force as well as the architects. Ms. O' had a secret pride in the Seattle club, but then she lived there.

It had been the end of Summer and early Fall when the interviews had taken place and the mangers chosen from the applicants. Due to the diligence of lawyer Jenks, all the background checks only took 2 to 2 ½ days to accomplish and the site managers where in place within a week to 10 days of being hired. It was not as yet January and the building out of the clubs in Seattle, Denver, New York and Atlanta were almost complete.

The publicist J. Jenks had hired for Ms. O' had done a bang up job. The photo sessions for Bella/Edward, Rosalie/Emmett; Carlisle/Esme and Jasper/Alice had turned out almost flawless, meaning very few touch ups were needed. Even Alice had been happy with the way the photographs turned out.

The internet BDSM community was a buzz with anticipation. All four clubs were opening on the same nights and all 4 had membership rosters that were hefty. If everything continued at the rate of the projections, all 4 clubs would be paid for in 6 to 9 months time. It was unprecedented.

All done by the power of Positive Thinking, Ms. O' felt sure.

The Seattle House of "O" was opened about 4 weeks prior to the other 3 Houses and was a wonder of modern technology with all of the equipment being top of the line. The interior decoration was fashionable, thanks to Esme Cullen's interior design craftsmen. The common rooms of the building were tastefully done in bright colors giving the rooms a party atmosphere.

The Seattle "O" was a 10 story building with the first 3 floors rented out to businesses not necessarily related to The House of "O". There was already a florist, a bookstore, and a Walgreen's on the Street level. There were plans for a couple of fashionable boutiques, one of which catered to the more 'adventuresome', shall we say. There had even been some thought to allowing a bar to open at street level too as none would be allowed in the club.

There was to be a boutique solely for the sale of BDSM fashions, if you could call them that, and an assortment of "toys" sold within the Club area that was owned by the Club franchise. This Boutique was located not far from the main reception area on the 4th floor.

Each club offered private and public lockers for storage of equipment. The private play rooms, that were rented on a monthly basis, had built in locking storage facilities that were included in the rental structures. The machines and other Play equipment belonged to the Club, but were leased on a 6 months to 1 year contracts. The maintenance of the machines and heavier equipment were the responsibility of the lessor. Another contract designed by J. Jenks that was 'iron clad' and tested 2 times during the first year of the Seattle Clubs existence with the contract holding up in favor of the Club.

J. Jenks' value was his ability to make all contracts as binding as ( this is a direct quote by Ms. O' ) "a contract with the Devil himself". The man was marvel of a sleeze-bag. He truly earned his "pound of flesh"

All the clubs were to be in buildings no less than 10 stories high. With "normal" businesses occupying the first 3 to 4 floors and the clubs permanent personnel living on the top 2 to 3 floors. All the buildings had their own parking garages attached with entrances into the club facilities separate from the entrances into the "normal" business floors. As an added security feature, all floors were accessed by password and card-key access, and each floor had a reception desk manned by two security personal at each of the elevator entrances. The buildings themselves were outfitted with hidden cameras with complete 360 viewing. All recordings were automatically deleted after review at the end of each working day. Those recordings were to prevent infractions of the clubs rules. The club rules were strictly enforced with "black-lists" made public in all the common room areas.

There was one other security feature that only Demetri and Felix knew about.

If there was a complete loss of power, a pager alarm activated only on the pagers carried by Demetri and Felix. This would alert them immediately to contact the Security staff on duty and the shift supervisor. The staff had 5 minutes in which to ascertain why the equipment was not functioning as it had been intended to. If power was not restored by then, or the cause and removal of the problem, heads would roll.

Each club was also to offer classes in Yoga in all it's varieties as well as, dance and self-defense training. There were private instructors on hand during the open hours of the club for each of the disciplines. At one point the demand for the Yoga instructors was so large a second and third instructor was hired.

Each of the clubs in the Franchise housed exercise gyms for the exclusive use of their membership. The Club's employees had their own gym on the 8th floor in the resident quarters area.

The strictly enforced Rules for the House of "O" were published at all the Security entrances as well in each of the common rooms and on the outer doors of all the Play Rooms. The cameras were there for protection of the Club, it's owner and management, but also for the clients protection. Only the most highly trained security members were allowed access to the Security Room containing the monitors for each room of the Club. The NDAs for these employees were extremely strict and those were manned by only the most trusted and hand picked of those charged with the Security of The House of "O".

One other fail-safe that Felix and Demetri installed were microphones embedded within the permanent fixtures themselves. These mics were undetectable and were there simply because both Felix and Demetri were extremely paranoid. If there proved to be any reason that these mics picked up something that the cameras missed, the discovery was touted as the two men's well developed intuition.

Ms. O' was a believer, actually, in the art of Bondage and Domination ( B/D ) but not so much in the Sado-masochistic ( S/M ) part. This was why she was endeavoring to implement the following Hard Limits Rules. It was encouraging to see from the membership roster so many in the community went along with her thinking. Those who wanted more pain than art and pleasure could start their own clubs.

The list of House of "O"'s rules were as follows:

No breath, blood or electricity play in the club. Candle or Wax Play allowed on limited basis. Please check with the Management as to what these are.

Each Dom and Dominatrix will present to the Club's Manager their Proof of Ability when registering for membership of this Club and it's Affiliates. If this is not on file they shall not be allowed access to the Playrooms.

Every Submissive would have to swear an affidavit that she, or he, was there of their own free will, and not forced to participate.

Each club member, as well as their guests had to present health certs and these would be kept on file – just in case.

No Suspension scenes with out proof of Master Dom status.

All Doms will notify, in writing, for filing what their planned scene will be. This is for the safety of all parties concerned.

Each Playroom rented for the night must be cleaned by those using it before they leave the Club's premises.

Please check each time entering the premises for classes updating skills availability . All classes and certificates are available on a sliding scale or scholarship basis.

Yoga classes as well as classes for Self Defense are available during open hours of the Club. Please see managers for availability of space for each class. Participation in Play Rooms can depend upon customer ability to perform certain areas of Play.

There are a battery of psychological tests that the Management may request membership to take before beginning Play privileges. IF they are felt necessary Management will contact privately.

After Care and PTS Care available during club open hours.

The staff, which enforced these Hard Limits, worked in 48 on/off hour shifts. Since they lived on the premises these hours were not unreasonable. Over the first 6 months the Clubs were open, the abilities of the security staff were tested and proved quite effective. They were worth the money they saved the Clubs in law suits alone.

Several individuals tested the Rules in the beginning, but they were dealt with quickly by the ever vigilant teams of Felix and Demetri. Felix and Demetri each had their own hand picked men that worked as their team, and they were paid well enough to maintain loyalty to them, as well as to the Club. They all had to sign very specific NDAs for the clubs protection and it's membership.

Felix and Demerit's on duty teams had master keys for all the rooms, so it didn't matter if the doors were locked. Every room had 4 cameras set up for 360 view of each and every public and private playrooms. The tapes were automatically deleted at 8 am daily so there would be no chance of the tapes falling into the wrong hands and used for anything other than the original purpose.

One of the safeguards for the Club was that certain Doms were allowed more leeway regarding Hard Limits because of their qualifications and expertise. The moment a Dom books a room or signed into the Club facilities all the information relating to that Dom and Sub flashed into the Security room with the location that Dom was to occupy. If there was an addendum for that Dom and Sub that allowed any of the Hard Limit scenes then the Security team would leave that Play Room alone, but if there was no such addendum in place, the Play room was broken into and the Scene stopped, the Dom ejected from the Club's facility as well it's affiliates and blackballed. The Submissive would be taken to the After Care unit before allowed to leave the building.

The first so called Dom that tried Blood Play was named Laurent with his accomplice, James. They had tried to sneak a drugged Submissive into the club and did manage to get past the Night Management, but couldn't get past the video camera that was recording in real time.

It was evident she had been drugged at once and that the girl was in no condition participate in their bloody games. The moment Felix saw the flash of the blades being laid out for use, it was apparent what the pair were attempting.

Felix stormed into the room and knocked both men down, untied the girl and brought her to Bella and Mrs. O'Keefe. She was a beautiful young woman with ginger red hair that seemed to have a life of it's own. She was in love with James and wanted to make him happy, only she didn't realize that he was such a prick as to want to inflict that type of pain on her person. Something that she absolutely did not agree to and they had roofied her into submission.

An attempt through legal action to sue the club was tried, but when the attorneys read the NDAs their clients had signed it was realized, they had no legal leg to stand on.

Again, J. Jenks' worth was proven.

In this World, word travels fast. No Sub with any training would go anywhere near those two ever again. Each club had a special room that was devoted to "the most wanted" and the most shunned Dome/Doms and Subs. What was done outside of the clubs facilities was the business of each individual. What went on within the facilities was totally the business of the clubs.

There was another time a would be Dom tried Suspension and hadn't a clue how it's done. It became obvious the moment he started attaching the ropes to the young woman he had trussed up. The idiot in question name was Michael Newton. His idiot Sub, had placed her safety into the hands of the so called Dom without checking to make sure he knew what he was doing. There were certificates issued for that type of Scene and should have been asked for as proof before submitting to that type of Scene.

Once it became clear that the would be Dom had not clue one, Felix's team was in that Playroom and escorting Mr. Newton's ass out of the building, and the Submissive, one Jessica Stanley, was brought to Bella and Edward for much needed aftercare and lecture as well as offered a free class in "What every Submissive needs to know". Before either of the offenders would be allowed access to The House of "O" again they would have to attend classes on "how to". Then, once certified, they would have access once again.

Each and every House of "O" had a good restaurant within the facility but no alcohol was allowed with in the confines of the Clubs themselves. Again, this was everyone's protection. It's well known that alcohol impairs judgment.
