Chapter 45: Fire in the Hole

"The Charismatic and Seductive Mistress Mary Jane would like to welcome both the kinksters and the vanilla alike to an event like no other!

Mistress Mary Jane has chosen Her Birthday Saturday August 18th to start off hosting the first ever Club Excite party. It will take place at Safehaven Studios. And what better a theme for Club Excite than the place mankind was first tempted with the privilege of divine knowledge and sin, The Garden of Eden. Join Mistress Mary Jane and the beautiful and versatile Ladies of Safehaven Studios in a Garden where sin and pleasure are ripe for the taking!"

The day of the event everything that could go wrong did.

Sara had a guest list a mile long and this greatly angered the woman who ran the front desk and sold tickets. She just happens to be Mistress Azule's daughter. The line to get in stretched around the building and it took longer than expected to get everyone checked in.

The guy who usually helped Leo with security did not show up and I had to fill in as backup security in tandem with my general manager responsibilities. Since Sara was busy with makeup and costumes, all problems and complaints found their way to me.

"Jordan we just got word, Miss Azalea is dropping out of her performance she can't make it!" I was told.

"I will go tell Mistress Mary Jane." I replied.

I went over to the ladies' lounge where employees and performers got ready. I knocked on the door. The room was filled with women doing makeup and getting dressed.

"Sara!" I called from outside the door.

"I told you not to call me that at work!" Sara replied scolding me from inside.

"Right Mistress Mary Jane, Miss Azalea has dropped out. She won't be here tonight." I told her.

"Fuck, are you serious?" Sara shouted.

"What are we going to do? We are going to look stupid!" Sara asked me while having a mini meltdown.

"Hey Mary Jane, you need a performer? I am totally interested." a voice called from inside the ladies' lounge.

"Me too!" said another voice.

"Do you need performers? I would love this opportunity to promote myself at your party Mistress!" a third voice commented.

The performers for the second stage show were adamant about us using their fog machine. They had special cues for the music. As the second act went on Jesus tripped over the extension cord and turned off the fog machine. He plugged it back in and turned it back on and a giant cloud of smoke billowed out perfectly synced for dramatic timing.

Sara had specially ordered a chocolate fountain off amazon. The chocolate was not melted enough and hardened inside the fountain pipes, got clogged and stopped working 30 minutes into the party. Some of the chocolate overflowed onto the floor. I had to dive under the table and unplug the machine before it became a slip hazard.

Someone brought a birthday cake but there were no plates or forks. Some people didn't mind and made a mess eating it bare handed. This left cake all over the ground near the concessions.

Our third planned performer was an aspiring burlesque dancer named Lady Audrey. She was an employee at Safehaven who did not get many clients and needed a confidence boost. She had joined our group of friends at events every weekend with her intellectual husband.

She was not a well-known performer, but we wanted to give her the chance to become one. I always tried to encourage Audrey. We had a friendly relationship and would harmlessly flirt at times. I would joke and say I secretly had a crush on Audrey, and she would do the same about me. It was not serious at all. I think it still bugged her husband though.

The next problem involved Miss Dawn. While hanging out at Bondcon, Miss Dawn and I had made up an idea to create a game for submissives to play on stage called the Survive Her Challenge. We were basically spoofing the types of challenges you might see on the Television Show Survivor. Submissives would compete in three elimination rounds, the last remaining submissive would be crowned the winner.

Rounds would consist of things like taking a number of hits from a specified impact toy or kneeling on Legos or rice for a period of time. Balancing cups of water while singing embarrassing songs.

The best thing was anyone at the event could enter. It was a way for people with no play partners to get involved and get played with at the event.

When Miss Dawn heard about our event, she volunteered to bring the “Survive Her Challenge” to life on stage. She created the three rounds and planned to run the competition herself. Unfortunately, last minute she could not make the trip from San Diego due to health concerns. She sent Sara and I instructions on how to put the challenge together without her.

Sara was reluctant and overwhelmed to run the challenge by herself.

"Another problem! Jordan, I can't handle this we have to cancel the Survive Her Challenge. There's no way I can handle all that alone!" said Sara.

"Mistress Mary Jane, we got your back!" said a crowd of leather clad, corset wearing beauties armed to the teeth with BDSM gear.

"We are going to show everyone what our Dominants can do!" proclaimed Mistress Azule as she cracked her bull whip.

Luckily the ladies of Safehaven stepped up and handled the rounds. Even Mistress Azule. This created a tradition of the employees of Safehaven always being involved in the Survive Her Challenge as a way to showcase the dungeon. Mistress Azule loved it.

Mistress Azule and Sara even donated a decent prize. The winner of the challenge could come back to the dungeon during business hours for a free hour-long session with Sara. People loved it and those who missed the contest asked when there would be another.

The main head lining performer who we billed on the flyer attempted to quit before her performance. Madam Mona De Sin was one of the most popular stage performers that Safehaven had to offer. As I mentioned before in an earlier chapter she was a Dominant employee of Safehaven and considered herself in service to and a protege of Mistress Azule.

Mona also hosted her own events at Safehaven that were not as popular so naturally she was insanely jealous when she saw how many people showed up to our event. She could not comprehend this newcomer Mary Jane showing her up on her first real event. Mona tried to cancel her performance an hour before she was scheduled to go on as an act of sabotague. Mistress Azule heard about the drama and squashed it. She gave Mona a rather "inspiring" lecture.

"This is the best event this dungeon has ever hosted and you better not fuck this up because you are being a jealous bitch! Get you ass over here, get on stage and make your dungeon some fucking money!"

That's how I imagined their conversation went anyways. Mistress Azule knew this was going to be a good event. I could feel her confidence and support for us.

Mona originally had planned to do some sort of fire dance with pyrotechnics. After Mistress Azule forced her to perform, she decided she was going to do it half assed to spite Sara.

Mona wasn't going to actually light torches that were part of her act she was just going to dance around and pretend to. Then blame it on Sara not getting fire clearance from Mistress Azule to make Sara look unprepared.

Now I am not a fire technician I don't know the specifics of exactly what happened.

Apparently, Mona's submissive assistant Fang did not get the memo about no fire. She had prepped the torches by soaking them in the fuel. During the performance Mona expected the torches not to light. She danced over towards them, sparked her lighter and was severely surprised when they lit. I think she even lit her own braided hair on fire briefly.

Being the egotistical bitch that she is, she just continued on with her performance, and everyone loved it. But this moment sort of started a rivalry we never asked for.

One of the local Los Angeles newspapers "LA Weekly" even dispatched a reporter to interview Sara about her events. Sara reluctantly agreed thinking the article would be about the event.

Unfortunately, the woman chose to focus her article on polyamorous relationships in the BDSM community. When the article was published it was about Sara's semi poly lifestyle dating myself and Nadia from the flyer at the same time. A lot of it was taken out of context and some of the facts were wrong. The writer had never even spoken to me at all.

It really upset Sara and many people in the fetish community. It came off as sensationalized drama, but it did briefly make the events sound popular. This beautiful Dominatrix dating women and men at the same time and hosting events where you could possibly do it too!

Over 300 people attended Club Excite. For those who remember, it is still spoken about as one of the greatest events to take place at Safehaven.
