An: this is a friend of Madison's. I thought I could help her not be so busy. By offering to upload chapters of her stories for her. But it turns out I'm having an incredibly hard time doing that. At first I was trying to upload multiple chapters of multiple stories at the same time. Because my thinking was more updates happier readers. I was wrong because I keep making mistakes. So now I am only updating One chapter of one story at one time. I'm still figuring out the books. So occasionally you will see writing in Chinese were one word like test. I promise you I am working diligently to fix the problem. But after each time I upload a chapter. I have to wait up to 30 minutes to see if it uploaded correctly. Before I can begin working on fixing. If you have any frustrations or negative reviews based on the update not being readable. please take it out on me and not Madison. It's not Madison's fault that I can't figure out what I'm doing. But I have watched countless YouTube tutorials on how to upload new chapters. I'm trying to get better at this. So please just have a little bit of patience if you can. One other thing. In some of the reviews on the other stories I have updated. People have been concerned about Madison. I just want to say that as far as I know she's completely fine. Just very busy with real life.

Chpt. 11 CPOV:

I pull up to a large main building that if you didn't know any better would look like a luxury hotel. A valet immediately comes to my door the moment I open it and takes my keys. I walk around to get Ana out of the car, where she is waiting for me as instructed. Another hotel member comes out and unloads our luggage onto a cart before the valet takes the rental car to park it. Keeping the leash handle securely around my wrist, I follow the cart with our luggage into the main lobby with Ana trailing behind us with her eyes down. Even though we're not supposed to be in a 24/7 TPE relationship, we discussed that when we first arrived given the rule that she be leashed, it would be expected that she behave as if we were in a scene.

"Welcome Mr. Thompson, it's so nice to have you here at Desire," an older woman greets me at the desk. "My name is Mistress Elena and I'm the manager of this amazing resort. If there's anything you need for your pet while you're here you just let me know."

"Thank you," I cringe as I shake her hand something about her bothering me but I have no idea what.

"Your room is all ready," she raises her hand indicating to the staff member with our cart. "It should be stocked with anything you need, but if it's missing something you just need to let me know. We aim to keep our doms pleased at all times. This is a map of the resort, you'll see the different buildings labeled accordingly. All guests start at level yellow to begin, if you wish to explore some of the other areas of our resort you'll need to speak with one of the dungeon masters about testing."

"Testing?" I act stupid.

"Our buildings increase with intensity," she explains. "We want to ensure that both the dom and the sub are knowledgeable and experienced enough to play in those areas before they're admitted. Something tells me that won't be an issue for a dom like yourself."

"Oh?"

"Something tells me you're a very skilled dom," she purrs and I actually have to force myself not to shiver. She's easily twice my age, although it's obvious she's had work done to try to hide that fact.

"My sub doesn't complain," I assure her.

"Play around in the main building, but I have a feeling you'll quickly pass onto some of our more fun areas."

"How many different levels are there?"

"Three," she answers quickly and automatically. "Only a small number of guests actually make it to the third level. In fact I think there are only two couples approved at that level right now. It's not an easy level to achieve; not everyone can handle that type of…play."

"I'm looking forward to exploring as many of the areas as I can with my sub while we're here."

"You're welcome to use any of our activity areas as well: we have several pools each boasting a swim up bar, there's a gym, hiking trails, a beach, pool hall and a bar. These areas can be used for leisure activities or for play as they are all monitored by dungeon masters. In fact, other than the lobby all areas at the resort are open for play, however the only areas stocked with toys and equipment are the buildings indicated as play areas on the map. So if you want to play in other areas, we suggest you bring your own toys. As outlined in the rules, whether you play in one of our designated area or in another area your sub must be leashed at all times, unless fully restrained. We have leashes available in all leisure areas if you find yourself needing one."

"Understood."

"If you're ready?" she asks.

"Yes, we're ready," I respond and turn to follow our cart once again.

Ana still trails behind us, it kills me not to check with her to see how she's doing. I can tell this is going to be a very difficult week. Ana remains quiet, acting as the perfect sub as we take the elevator to the 6th floor. The staff member wheels our cart into the room before handing me a key and quietly leaving the room. A quick glance around the room confirms it's what I was expecting based upon the descriptions in the file Sawyer gave me.

As Ana and I discussed we need to check the room for any video and audio recording devices before we can fully relax. I unclip the leash and hang it on the hook next to the door which is it's obvious resting place. I take the bag with our toys out first and put it on the raised bed. I watch as Ana takes in the room, her eyes opening wide as she realizes the reason the bed is so high. There's a cage built under the bed where a slave can be kept for those who are into that sort of thing. Time Out has a couple of these beds in some of the private rooms; while it's not something I've ever considered using I know many doms who use cages similar to this. This is mostly used by more hard core doms who engage in slave play as making the slave sleep in a cage reminds them of their place.

"Let's get unpacked," I say pulling Ana back to the first task.

She nods at me, quickly going to the bag to find the scanning device. Keeping it in the bag, she turns it on; I have no idea what all the lights mean but she quickly closes the bag and leads me into the bathroom. She closes the door and turns on the shower water not saying a word until the room is full of steam.

"There's no video recording devices, but there are several audio ones," she whispers against my ear instantly sending a chill down my spine. I nod, relieved that there are no video recordings; both Ana and I needed this to be the one place where we didn't need to put on an act. I can already tell I'm going to need the break that this room provides from being in dom with her even if it's not 24/7.

Ana turns off the water before heading back out to the room. I can't do much to help her with this part, so instead I begin putting away our clothes. I watch as she slowly takes apart the telephone, the smoke detector, a lamp and the television, removing small devices from each one. They're no bigger than a battery for a watch. She flushes them down the toilet before returning to the room and turning on the first device that she used, a steady green light is the only thing that indicates that the tester is even working. Unlike the first time which lit up like a Christmas tree with red lights.

"We're clear," she sighs in relief.

"You're sure?" I ask quietly.

"Yes," she answers confidently. "This will detect any and all recording devices; red is audio and yellow is video recording. The green light indicates it's working but and since all the previously lit up lights are now dark, that means there are no longer recording devices in this room."

We both breathe a sigh of relief even though this was likely one of the easiest parts of this mission.

"So…um…the cage under the bed?" Ana questions.

"It's…something that some doms like to use. If they engage in TPE or slave play, sleeping in the cage is common. A cage could also be used during a scene as a punishment, to confine the sub to a space where he/she is free from their own responsibilities. It's a sign of ownership."

"Do I…am I expected to…sleep there?" she cringes at the thought.

"No," I answer quickly. "They don't control what happens in this room, but even if it were noticed that the cage went unused, it wouldn't raise any red flags because it's not something that every dom uses."

"Thank God," she sighs in relief.

The room is pretty much what I expected; it has small features through the room for restraint play, but nothing over the top. It's clear that they expect most scenes to take place outside of the room, yet they equipped the room in the event the dom wants to a scene in here. Ana and I take a few minutes to study the map that was given to me when we checked in. Ultimately we decide to just go look around for now; I think both of us putting off going into one of the play areas for now. Later today we'll go in there, observe a few scenes and get a feel for the place. Honestly though the first level of play areas isn't what worries me. It's the other areas.

"Ready?" Ana asks.

"Are you?" I counter.

She shrugs but slips on her shoes anyway; I open the door taking one final glance at the room and lead her out. The elevator has two doors that open; one to the lobby where we checked in and the other to the rest of the resort. At first glance when you step outside of the main building, the resort seems like any other adult only resort. There are waiters and waitresses walking around offering drinks, couples lounging in chairs around the pool and even a volleyball game going on in a sand court. However, you don't need to look too much further to realize this is unlike any resort you've ever visited before. Subs, both men and women, are either naked or barely wearing any clothing at all even when they're playing volleyball. A quick glance around finds a couple having sex in one of the lounge chairs and another couple engaged in a scene against another building's wall.

I take Ana's hand and lead her over to the bar where I order us both a frozen drink. We take a seat on the chair and just observe…everything.

"First time here?" the bartender asks.

"Yes," I answer.

"It's a shock at first, but give it a day or two and you won't even notice half of this," he chuckles gesturing in front of us. "That couple over there," he nods to the ones having sex in the chair, "they just arrived a few days ago and the woman was so shy I didn't think she would last a day here."

"She obviously loosened up," I say.

"People here accept everything," he shrugs. "You don't have to worry about things you do when you're at home."

After a few minutes we finish our drinks and decide to continue our tour. We find the different pools, the hiking trails, the bar complete with pool tables and darts. We stop to eat at an outdoor café where Ana is one of the few subs not eating on the ground. She tries to not to stare but I know she's surprised to see the subs eating as if they're dogs from the plate or others where the doms are feeding the subs. We sit by the pool for a little while, trying to act like we're here for a vacation. It's definitely not easy to forget why we're here, but at the same time we need to remember while we're here we're supposed to be on vacation. A young couple in love…I could easily say the reason I keep touching her is entirely to keep up appearances, but the reality is after last night, and this morning, I can't stop thinking about touching her. It's nothing compared to what some of the other couples are doing out here, but each time I hold her hand stroke her arm or put my hand on her back reminds me of how she felt in my arms again.

We return to our room sometime later in the afternoon; Ana goes straight for the testing device confirming that while we were gone no one came in and planted additional audio recorders. She then grabs the resort map off the nightstand and studies it before grabbing a pad of paper from her bag.

"What are you doing?" I ask.

"There's a few entrances not marked on some of these buildings," she snaps a picture of the original map and then starts to make notations on a pad of paper she had packed.

"There were?" I don't remember seeing anything not on the map.

"Two that I saw," she points to the buildings on the map. "They might be staff entrances or for deliveries; they weren't marked."

"I completely missed those."

She finishes up the notes on the page before taking another picture of it that will be uploaded later to Donaldson. In the bathroom sink she tears up the papers and lights them on fire, completely destroying any evidence of her notes. The ashes are quickly swept down the drain; the worry of the smoke detector going off is long gone after Ana removed the battery when she took out the recording device.

"We should head over to the play area," Ana says confidently.

"We should?" I'm surprised; I expected her to want to put this off.

"Taylor has been inside of that building so we have that information; we need to get into level two and three as quickly as possible. If we can, we should test tonight so we can move up tomorrow."

I sit back for a moment, taken back by Ana's sudden take charge attitude. It's a side that I've seen bits and pieces of here and there over the last week, mostly when we were talking about the resort. Even though we both knew we would be heading to the play areas today and would need to test to move on at some point, I expected her to put it off as long as possible. It seems I was wrong though.

"If you're ready we can go," I follow her lead.

"Do you…need anything?"

"Just this," I grab the small duffel bag holding the toys wanting to be prepared for whatever they may require to pass this test. I'll be damned if we fail a test because a toy that require me to use isn't the same as one I'm used to. I don't want to put Ana through having to test twice; we need to get this done the first time.

"Here," she grabs the leash off of the hook and hands it to me again surprising me.

"You sure you're ready for this?" I ask as I attached the leash to her collar.

"I'm ready to find out what the fuck is really going on here and…find Kate," she says her voice only wavering when she mentions Kate's name.

"Promise me you'll remember your safe words in there," I plea with her. "You might be overwhelmed and nervous…and I don't want you to forget them. I'll keep an eye on you for any indications that you're approaching your limit, but incase I miss something-"

"You won't," she says with certainty. "But I won't forget them."

"In there…stop, no, don't…those words mean nothing. It's all about safewords," I remind her.

"I know," I swear I'm more nervous right now than she is. "I'm ready. This is what we've been practicing for."

"Ana," her name on my lips before I even know what to say. She turns to me, her eyes finding mine and for a brief moment I see uncertainty. Just like that it's gone and in it's place confidence. I cover the distance between us in a single step, stopping only when I feel her chest against mine. I wrap my around her back and do what I've been dying to do since she walked out of my bedroom this morning…I kiss her. She moans against my lips; I pull away just before I get to the point where I'm not going to be able to stop. Without saying another word, I lead her from the room, looking as though she's been thoroughly kissed.

Finding the yellow play building is easy; it's the closest play area to the main building. The others are further away, the third level being the farthest from the main building. I don't want to think now of all the many reasons that could be. I don't want to think about where the fourth level building might be or what might go on there and worse what might be required for us to get to that level.

"Good evening," we're greeted as soon as we enter the building by a domme dressed in revealing black leather.

"Evening," I nod to her.

"First time here?" she asks.

"Yes."

"Make yourself comfortable, feel free to observe or use any of the equipment," she gestures to the large open room.

"We'd actually like to test tonight," I say confidently.

"Oh? Already?"

"Yes, I think what we're looking for lies beyond this level."

"Ah, you may be right," she eyes Ana behind me before returning to me. "Nick is our dungeon master in charge of testing tonight. Let him know when you're ready."

I nod before leading Ana into the large room which isn't unlike the main room at Time Out. Different scene areas are set up throughout the room each area has seating areas around it for people to observe. Unlike at Time Out, there's wait staff walking around in next to no clothing providing drinks to all the guests. At Time Out, there is no wait staff outside the bar. Drinks are limited, two per customer, for everyone's safety and alcoholic drinks are kept at the bar so they can be monitored. I lead Ana through so we can both take in the room just in case there is something in here that was missed by the other undercover agent.

"Nick?" I approach the dom that was pointed out to me.

"Yes?"

"I was told to see you to test for the next level."

"Come with me, a scene just finished a few moments ago so we should have space available," he leads us to a dimly lit corner where a cleaning crew is just finishing wiping down the equipment. "To move on you need to demonstrate knowledge of the cross, an implement of your choice and care for your sub. Your sub needs to demonstrate proper orgasm control and ability to follow her dom's instructions. She must be bound to the cross for this test however you're free to use any other items you wish."

"Understood. We will be using the cat," I say as Ana and I previously discussed .

"You will need to deny her at least two orgasms," he lowers his voice so Ana cannot overhear. "Feel free to deny more than two, but two is the minimum. She'll need to achieve an orgasm during the scene."

The orgasm denial was expected, but I hadn't planned on Ana being required to come during the first scene. I nod and plan the scene in my head before we even approach the cross. Ana may be confident and ready to move past this level, but subconsciously she's going to be nervous which will likely impact her ability to get into the scene right away.

"Tell the dungeon master your safe words," I instruct even though I could have told him myself, I needed to hear her say them before we begin.

"Yellow and red sir," she answers confidently and quickly.

"You may begin," he says.

Placing the bag on the table next to the cross, I lead Ana to the cross and attach her to it with her back facing the audience. I place a blindfold over her eyes to help her focus on her body's responses rather than what is going on around her. I grab the ben wa balls from the bag and take them out of the case; I hadn't planned on using these during the scene until Nick said the orgasm was required. This will make the denial harder, but for the first scene here it should take the edge off enough that she'll be able to come when I allow her to.

"Open," I instruct and she immediately complies. I step behind her so my chest is firm against her back; I place the two balls in her mouth earning me a startled gasp. "Suck on these, they need to be moist."

My hands glide over her body; slowly up her arms, down her legs and up her sides. The near see through dress barely covers her ass, especially now that she's strapped to the cross. From the right angle I have no doubt her sex can be seen; I have to calm the sudden anger that the thought of others seeing her brings me. I knew this was coming; I knew that others would see her. Hell it's fucking likely that by the end of this week others will be watching us have sex during a scene. And even though I know it's part of the mission and what needs to be done, I hate the thought of people watching us. Of people seeing her beautiful body; of seeing what's mine.

Mine.

She's always fucking been mine.

"Open," I whisper at her ear knowing I need to get through this scene and get her back to the room quickly. When she opens her mouth I take the now wet balls from her and immediately bring them to the apex of her thighs. She gasps as I gently push one into her sex, the second one quickly following. A quick swat to her ass with my bare hand ensures that they're in the right place when I reach back down to cup her only to find my fingers damp with her juices.

I pull away from her, leaving her bound to the cross when I step back to the bag on the table. I grab the cat from the club, thankful that I've used these ones before enough times to appreciate the pain and pleasure line they can bring. A nod from Nick confirms that I can begin when I'm ready; taking a deep breath I focus on Ana on the cross in front of me reminding myself of Nick's goals for the scene.

"Ah!" I have no doubt her response is from the sudden impact as well as the balls now moving within her when her body moved against the cross.

"Very good," I say before bringing the tails back down over her beautiful ass, ensuring they hid a different spot. She groans in response before I continue with another slap, this one to the tops of her thighs. Five more slaps and she's moaning, loudly, but hasn't come yet which tells me that she's remembering her role.

"Don't come," I instruct loudly enough for Nick to hear her just as I place my hand between her legs. As I expected she's drenched.

"Please sir," she moans and fuck if it doesn't make me hard.

"Not yet," I step away from her and return to the bag on the table. I act as if I'm looking for something, but in reality I'm giving her a few seconds to bring herself down.

"Hmmm!" she groans when I bring the tails down on her ass again. Her body arches against the cross as her fists tighten; I know she's close to her release and all I can think about is how fucking amazing it felt when she came on my cock this morning. And last night.

"May I come sir?" she pants breathlessly.

"No, you may not," I say firmly as I step up behind her. I let my rough jeans rub against her sensitive ass and thighs as I glide my hands over her body. My dick, hard as granite, rubs against the cleft of her ass and for a moment I forget where we are.

"You may come when I say you can," I reminder her, nipping at her ear before stepping away again.

She's on the edge, her body more than ready for a release when the cat hits her ass again. She moans with each hit as the balls bounce and move within her, likely hitting her g spot every time they move. She's barely hanging onto the restraints, instead she's letting the restraints hold her to the cross as she truly focuses on nothing other than the scene she's in right now.

"Do you want to come now?" I ask her as the tails hit her again.

"Yes sir, pleas sir," she begs.

"Come Ana," I instruct and reach between her legs to tease her clit.

"Oh GOD!" she screams, losing herself to the orgasm the moment it hits her. I move behind her, holding her as she rides out the orgasm still tethered to the cross. I toss the cat into the bag on the table before reaching up to untie her wrists.

"Hold onto the cross," I whisper before bending down to free her ankles.

I grab the bag, tossing it over my shoulder before I pick up Ana and bring her from the stage to the loveseat and settle her on my lap. Nick comes up to me and scans the bracelet on my wrist; he nods to me which I take to mean that we passed the first test. He leaves us without saying a word. Ana relaxes against me, resting her body on my chest as she slowly returns to reality.

"Ready to go back to our room?" I ask her several minutes later.

"Yes," she whispers.
