Chapter 39: Safehaven

The only time I was really allowed to go to Safehaven was when they hosted events on the weekends. The major difference between Safehaven and the Fetish Chamber was that Safehaven was much larger (7000 sqft) and hosted events on weekends. The Fetish Chamber was very private. Safehaven was public and heavily rooted in the kink community.

The best way I could describe the Kink Community would be to compare it to being in high school. You had the different clicks or groups hanging out at the different dungeons. There were five dungeons in Los Angeles at the time.

Then you had the experienced talented kinksters in the popular group. Everyone at all the dungeons knew the popular group. They were the performers, the successful Mistresses, educators and veterans of the scene. People who made money.

One perk of Sara working at Safehaven was she was given free entry and a plus one to every event at Safehaven. There were events almost every weekend. We started going to all the events and Sara and I made it our mission to prove she deserved to be there, and she was one of the best.

Safehaven had seven playrooms. The playrooms all had clever names inspired by ancient mythical creatures and deities. Some had themes like a jail cell and medical room, while the majority were just filled with expert crafted BDSM furniture.

Most parties were open to the public. Majority of the playrooms would be unlocked, and performers would take the stage sporadically throughout the night. Scattered among the rooms were different couples and groups using the equipment in the playrooms to perform public scenes.

They would bring their own BDSM toys from home and put on a show. Anyone was allowed to enter the rooms and watch as long as you did not interrupt or disturb anyone else. Anyone could take up an empty space and play with their partner as long as they did not mind the possibility of an audience.

At each event we started taking over a playroom. We would set out all our toys and Sara would play with anyone brave enough to ask. Originally it was almost in spite of some of the doubters but over time this started to attract a crowd, and we started building our own group of friends within the community.

Years ago, when we had first attended events at Passive Arts we had been treated like outsiders. Being the regulars at every Safehaven party gave us a chance to change things. We made it our mission to make friends with anyone and everyone. We made everyone feel welcome.

If you were some loner looking for someone to play with, Sara would play with you. I was like her recruiter finding people in her audience to be her next submissive. I would keep an eye on her toys and clean the ones she had finished using while she played. Sara began to attract a long list of people wanting to play at each event. She would literally spend the entire event playing with different people for hours. This attracted a crowd of spectators. She was even often preferred to whatever was happening on stage. She loved it.

Typically play with Sara at a party included 15 to 30 minutes of impact play like flogging, spanking or paddling. It was not like Fetish Chamber where the majority of play centered around more sexual fetishes. The most experienced Dominants could put you into in almost hypnotic and relaxed state with their rhythmic and skilled techniques. This was called subspace.

I started to appreciate the therapeutic value in the non-sexual things Dominants could do.

For Thanksgiving, Safehaven Studios hosted an annual food drive and slave auction. For every food item a guest donated, they received token money used to bid at the auction. Any submissive who wanted to put themselves up for auction could do so. Each slave stood up on the stage one at a time and anyone with tokens could bid for them. Once a slave was won, they could negotiate their interests and limits and were expected to serve the winner as their slave for the rest of the night.

Some of the people who signed up to be slaves may not have been the most desirable. To ensure everyone felt wanted and no one went through the embarrassment of not being bid on, Mistress Azule requested several of the Professional Dominants at Safehaven show up to the event and participate in the auction. She even gave them extra tokens to bid on slaves.

Sara and I would have come anyways.

As we arrived at the Slave Auction, we spotted Mistress Azule standing near the entrance. As soon as she saw Sara, she approached her and asked us to come into her office. My initial thought was we were in trouble for smoking weed outside.

"Sometimes in the past we have had slaves go up on stage and not get bid on. I really don't want anyone to go through the pain of not being picked. I asked a few of the ladies to come tonight but most of them have not showed up. I need your help, Mary Jane. Can you please participate in the auction and bid on some slaves?" Mistress Azule asked Sara.

"Of course, Mistress!" Sara replied.

"There is going to be some really nice toys up for auction tonight as well. Make sure you bid on a few of those too. Take these extra tokens." Mistress Azule added before giving Sara two handfuls of Tokens.

I wanted to be part of the Safehaven family, and I wanted to look like a good person. So, I brought plenty of food items to donate. Between Sara's free tokens from Mistress Azule and my tokens from actually donating, we were theoretically the richest couple at the dungeon that night.

Each slave went up one by one. They would stand on stage, and the honorary auctioneer did their best auction caller impression while people in the crowd bid on them. The young attractive female submissives went fast. There were no issues getting bids for them.

Anytime someone on stage was not getting bids, Sara stepped up and bid on them. The look of some of these people on their faces, going from disappointment that no one wanted them to disbelief that a gorgeous Domme like Sara would bid on them. It definitely was a feel-good moment. By the end of the slave auction Sara had a stable of at least ten submissives to play with and she entertained every one of them.

After the slaves were all bid on, the auctioneer began to auction off different BDSM toys and clothing that had been donated to the event. A special pair of custom floggers were up for auction. They were made by a toy maker called the Kinky Geek.

The Kinky Geek was a BDSM toymaker who specialized in toys made for nerds. His newest line of floggers were all inspired by Star Wars. The handles of the floggers resembled the handles of light sabers. He put in all the extra work creating the realistic detail for each character's light saber hilt. The falls or tails of the flogger were the colors of each light saber. Blue and Green for Jedi and Red for Sith.

These particular floggers on auction were unique compared to his previous models. The matching pair could connect together at their bases to form one giant double-sided flogger, similar to the double ended light saber wielded by Darth Maul in the Star Wars Prequels.

As the light sabers were presented on stage I gave Sara the puppy dog eyes.

"I really want those, Sara. Can you please bid on them for me?" I asked.

"What is a submissive going to do with floggers?" Sara asked me playfully teasing.

"Please Sara!" I repeated.

"Ok baby, I will win them for you!" Sara said confidently.

The auction started. Sara started the bidding.

"Fifty Dollars!" Sara said.

"This bitch again!" someone uttered from the crowd.

"She's won everything tonight!" another person said.

"Seventy-five dollars!" a Domme said outbidding Sara from across the room.

Sara looked over at the Mistress and squinted her eyes with an evil glare. She quickly changed her intimidating look to a smile.

"One hundred dollars!" Sara shouted back.

"One twenty five!" The Domme from across the room said with a smirk.

Sara looked down and counted her tokens. I had already given her all of mine to bid on slaves. The gaggle of slaves won by Sara had begun to gather behind us. They quickly pooled together their tokens and handed them to Sara.

"Please use our tokens Mistress!" The slave's "spokesman" said.

No one had spoken up or bid during our scramble to gather tokens, and the auctioneer began his last call.

"Going once!"

"Going twice!"

"One hundred and fifty dollars!" Sara called out.

"You bitch!" the Domme across the room screamed.

No one outbid us after that.

"Sold to the Mistress with a million slaves!" the auctioneer called out.

The crowd laughed and cheered. Sara and I gathered her toys so she could begin playing with her slaves in an empty playroom. Moments later she was already in her zone. At this point it was not uncommon for people to gather to watch Sara play. All the action during the auction had definitely made people curious as well.

I stood near Sara's toys keeping an eye on them and cleaning off any she used so they were sanitized for the next person. A bald white man with a goatee approached me while Sara was busy playing.

"Hello, I wanted to introduce myself, I am Danny but most people call me the Kinky Geek. I loved all the attention you guys gave to my toys tonight." the Kinky Geek said.

"I am Jordan, that is my Mistress and girlfriend Mistress Mary Jane." I said introducing us.

"I love all your toys, especially the Star Wars ones." I told him.

"You guys are killing it tonight. All the commotion earlier and now she has a full crowd."

the Kinky Geek replied.

Danny and I talked about Star Wars and other nerdy things for hours. By the end of the night we were buddies.

"Next time I am in town I would love to do a photo shoot with Mistress Mary Jane, maybe we can do something Star Wars themed." the Kinky Geek told me as we said goodbye that night.

"Let's keep in touch!" he added.

It was not long before Sara started being asked to perform on stage during events. She was 100% against it originally but over time she changed her mind. I was the first person she performed with in an impromptu performance in front of an empty crowd on a slow night.

The host of the event has started to notice Sara's popularity. She was able to coax Sara on stage with the promise of a professional photographer taking photos. Unfortunately, the photographer chose to prioritize taking photos of the other Dominants and their sexy female submissives.

After that Sara and I never played together on stage or at a public event again. Audiences prefer Dominant women playing with women FYI. Not me in my South Park underwear. I was bad for business.

Sara started collecting sexy female play partners and performance submissives from her friends, fans and coworkers she met at Safehaven. Sara's first real official stage performance ended up cementing the legend.

Sara was asked to perform at a party that was being hosted by a fellow Mistress at the dungeon. The theme was very formal, and the DJ played jazz music the whole night. Most of the guests looked bored. Sara was very nervous. This was not her type of music or vibe. The music for her performance was selected for her based on the theme and she did not feel comfortable at all.

Moments before her performance I approached the DJ and convinced him to switch the music.

"Just got word from the boss. This is the new music. Sorry for the inconvenience." I said as I handed the DJ a flash drive.

The whole week leading up to the event Sara had drove me crazy playing the same song in the car over and over every day. I was annoyed at the time but now I knew this was the perfect song.

Sara was announced on stage; a collection of the friends we had made in the months prior cheered her name. Suddenly the speakers exploded with "War Pigs" by Black Sabbath. The event organizer looked over at the DJ furious. The entire event was in shock. Sara was amazing.

Sara's movement on stage aligned with the music perfectly. The boring lethargic atmosphere was suddenly overtaken by the lively attitude and swinging hips of Mistress Mary Jane. People talked about her performance on stage for years.

The Kinky Geek returned a few months later and Sara did a photo shoot with him. It was of course Star Wars themed to help promote his Star Wars toys. Sara dressed up as a sexy Sith. She wore a black cloak over a sexy set of lingerie that looked like something from a strip club in a Galaxy far, far away. The photos turned out excellent.

In return the Kinky Geek gave Sara the choice of one of his toys for free. She picked a flogger.

The following weekend we had noticed the dungeon was not open for events. Mistress Azule explained to Sara there was no one who wanted to host an event that night. At this point Sara and I were regulars every weekend. Without the dungeon hosting a party we had nowhere to go.

With only five days to prepare we volunteered to host an event. Sara had just completed her photo shoot with Kinky Geek so we decided to host a Star Wars themed party and use the photos from the shoot on the flyer. The photos were getting so much positive attention online we thought the party would be packed.

The night of the party only a handful of people showed up. Majority of them were employees who got in for free. We did not have any performers or a DJ. It was a failure.

Unfortunately, we knew nothing about advertising events, and despite having amazing photos no one came. No one knew about the party. Contrary to popular belief people did not just show up to the dungeon every weekend expecting parties.

We both agreed we would leave the party planning to the professionals after that.

Sara's influence at the dungeon was not limited to the events. She brought sisterhood to the people who worked there. After six months Sara was friends with everyone. She respected the elders and veterans. She welcomed anyone who was new with open arms instead of considering them competition.

Sara even started regularly organized nights out at our local bar the Pitcher Place and majority of Safehaven's staff were always in attendance. Even Mistress Azule's wife occasionally made an appearance and got drunk with the ladies at the bar.

The nights that the bar was taken over by beautiful women clad in latex and corsets will remain in the local folklore of our hometown forever.

At Safehaven my role sort of evolved from Sara's submissive play partner to her business manager. I ran her website, her social media. I watched and cleaned her toys when she played. I came up with ideas for sessions and gave her advice. Sara had a secret weapon in business and that was me.

I was able to get into the head of her target audience because as a submissive man I was that audience.
