I eagerly went out to go look for the blond women in the chain link bra and found her behind the counter helping a paying customer. She bagged the it...ms for Master and myself and then handed another collared submissive a key and ordered him to take us to the dungeon. I followed the submissive to the back room and told Master that this gentleman would take us to the dungeon; Master introduced Himself and then ordered me to do the same. Again, I stuck out my hand and bowed my head as a soft. The man closest started coughing as the first whiffs of fumes started to hit him.“Move your asses. Get to the next town over.”The sight of the sickly gas got them to move finally, each dropping what they were holding and running for the front door.“Get in your car and drive to the next town at least. Don’t stop anywhere in Amberville,” Taylor said and ran to the next store.The next two stores required more shouting as they didn’t have gas pouring right out next to them, and Taylor wasn’t sure. I know that now. If I’d known that then…. Next morning over coffee, he muttered from under his ruffled mane, “Fucking nice writing you do.”I knew he was no pushover in the intellect department and I thanked him appropriately for his fine compliment.“Are you into all that, or is it more fantasy?” he asked. Then he waited a tick before adding, “I do a little writing of a different kind. I know some is real, some is not. Some desire is only for fantasy, some for real.”It was a pleasure talking. As the inlet apparently came to an end, I slowed to an idle, looking for submerged boulders waiting to devour our propeller. I eased around a large boulder, as big as a house, and turned hard left into a previously unseen channel. Now virtually no wider than our boat, I eased back toward a hidden cavern. Hidden from view by the light to dark contrast, it was little more than a gaping maw, the mouth of a dragon. "HELLO," Linda shouted. "HELLOELLLOELLLOOO" the echo returned, bouncing back again.
