Thread: Love's Dark Delights (Random x Sweet)

Chloe had chosen to be bold. Leaving the grocery, shed appear to be any average girl clutching to a pair of paper bags full of ingredients for dinner. But this wasnt just any dinner, this was the meal that would showcase her culinary prowess and impress her semi-serious boyfriend into becoming a fully dedicated partner. Every night theyd planned together included heading out to a restaurant, pub, or some other form of public location followed by a steamy, yet brief, exchange of affections that were contained in their cars or in darker corners of a movie theater. Soon, it would all change. Of course she knew where he lived. Several times hed gone out of town and had asked her to collect his mail. Theyd even spent a night in watching a movie. At the time she had been too shy to make any aggressive moves, but not any longer. Chloe loved what she had and decided that commitment was something to be desired. After all, how often did one get the opportunity to impress their boyfriend and boss at the same time? A note had been left behind at work in her absence that described some vague illness that would require an early leave and a necessity to rest. Having made sure nothing seemed too serious she proceeded with little guilt. The drive was short and it wasnt long before his key was slipped into the familiar front door and her invasion was underway. Shed made quick work of his stove, having seasoned and prepped an impressively-sized roast and slipping the large cut into the heat to slowly cook. Nothing could speed the process up and she was forced to relax as the scent of dinner began to permeate through the kitchen. Idly, Chloe glanced at her phone and eventually chose to tap at her texting application. Silently, her thumbs went to work. Im glad I chose to go home and lay down, Im feeling much better. The ruse was complete. Surely he wouldnt suspect a single thing to be out of place. Feeling accomplished, she meandered into the living room and glanced about. Everything appeared to be in place and organized. Her gaze settled on the staircase, following the handrail as it led upwards into the unknown. The realization donned that a full tour of the house had never been offered which served only to pique her curiosity. Peering over towards the oven to ensure everything was running properly, she deemed it safe to abandon in order to explore. Timidly, the first steps were taken. Her ascension was silent save for the occasional creek of the floor as her fingertips ran gently along the wall. While slightly dim, there was hardly a haunted house vibe. Several doors branched into what she assumed to be a bedroom and bathroom, maybe even an office. So what harm could come from peeking? Grasping gently at a knob, one of the heavy doors was cracked just enough to permit a small, exploratory observation of his bedroom. Bed, check. Night table, check. Dresser, check. Everything seemed to be in order. The normality of it all bred confidence, allowing her to make a complete u-turn and pry some more. And whats behind door number two? Not speaking to anyone in particular, she leaned into the second door and poked her head in. Nothing could have prepared her for what was hidden within. The room was dim from heavy curtains, allowing a small crack of light to stream through the shadowy room and reveal its contents. A swing hanging from the ceiling, whips and cuffs on the walls, a bench with straps attached. Several other utensils of dark desires littered the area. As recognition settled over her, the inevitable jaw drop was impossible to control. Shock overtook her as her arm extended to fully open the threshold and allow entry to the sinful place. Various metal buckles shimmered in the scarce light and the scent of leather was unmistakable. Shuffling forward, her slender hands hung limply at hips Chloe simply gawked at the various devices. How could her boyfriend harbor such desires? Better yet, what was keeping her from backing away and immediately returning back to the living room?
