Le Club 2

Kelly’s Challenge

One of ten exclusive memberships opens up at the private BDSM club known as Le Club Laurel Oak, located in a Victorian mansion in the historic district of Ocala, Florida. Justin Devereau, a member of the original Le Club Beaudelair in New Orleans, buys a farm and moves his polo string to Ocala to begin building a new polo club and a new life away from the very dark influences of the New Orleans club and his dysfunctional childhood. He moves into the top-floor suite at the club while the house at his farm is being renovated.

 

Kelly Anderson, an employee at Le Club Laurel Oak, catches his eye in a big way, but she is not into the BDSM lifestyle. Sparks fly, and Kelly must learn to open up to new experiences while Justin must try to shed some of the dark baggage created by his family history.

Prologue

Justin Devereau, Jason Steele, and Trent Redding entered the walled courtyard of the tall, narrow house on Chartres Street in the French Quarter of New Orleans. The noise and wild party atmosphere of
Mardi Gras
was cut off as the heavy wooden gates embellished by scrolled wrought iron closed and locked behind them. The central fountain of the courtyard was lit by gaslights and the music of the fountain masked the faint sounds coming from the house. Lacy, black wrought iron bracketed the small galleries fronting the house, and wooden shutters covered the windows, effectively blocking any view of the interior of Le Club Beaudelair–New Orleans. Dark and mysterious, this place could have been a set for a vampire movie.

The private BDSM club had been located in the French Quarter for many years, but few knew of its existence. Fewer had ever been inside. It had stood on Chartres Street long before the acronym “BDSM,” for bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, and sadomasochism, had been coined. Of course, the actual practices were as old as civilization. The membership consisted of only ten individuals.

Jason and Trent were visiting Justin at his antebellum-era plantation home on the Mississippi River north of Lake Pontchartrain outside of New Orleans for
Mardi Gras. The
Harvard seniors were enjoying Mardi Gras on a wild spring vacation. The opportunity to visit the New Orleans sex club, of which they had heard so much as Justin’s guests, had been irresistible and was sanctioned by Justin’s father as an early graduation present.

As they entered the front door of the house on Chartres Street, Jason’s and Trent’s eyes opened to the possibilities of sexual experiences beyond the vanilla sex that most college students enjoyed. Their horizons broadened to include a taste for the more unusual practices of dominance and submission.

The main parlor of the house was decorated with red velvet draperies trimmed in gold piping, heavy tapestry upholstery, and dark, antique, mahogany furniture. The dining room and numerous bedrooms had been converted to playrooms furnished in varied styles and contained the benches, crosses, chains, and other paraphernalia of extreme discipline and bondage. Justin had described Le Club Beaudelair to Jason and Trent many times, but until they saw it for themselves, they could have had no idea what was really involved. The screams of the submissives being paddled and whipped, the outrageous costumes of the participants, and the general atmosphere of decadence would be unforgettable for the impressionable young men from the small central-Florida town of Ocala.

No less shocking had been the tour of Justin’s father’s private playroom located in the old slave quarters of the Devereau Plantation, an old Creole plantation built in the early 1800s by the Devereau family. It had remained in Devereau hands through the Civil War and Reconstruction and was still owned by the Devereau family. Justin’s father, Phillip Devereau, had no idea that his young sons, Justin and Jamison, long ago figured out how to circumvent the security on his private playroom. Boys being boys, Justin and Jamie had been more curious than was good for them. They had been initiated at a fairly young and impressionable age into the extreme sexual practices performed there.

Years ago Justin and Jamison had unearthed long-forgotten family journals in the Devereau Plantation library detailing the sexual excesses of the male members of the family back to the 1700s. Reading the old diaries that Justin showed them, as well as seeing Phillip Devereau’s private playroom, had whetted their curiosity for the promised trip to Le Club Beaudelair. Although the Devereau brothers had often secretly been witness to the sexual practices of their father, the young men from Ocala had never before been exposed to BDSM. Jason and Trent had not completely believed Justin’s descriptions until they had seen for themselves. They had thought he was exaggerating as young men will sometimes do in order to impress their friends. They were amazed to learn that he toned down his descriptions, and that the actuality was even more outrageous. The opportunity to participate in those over-the-top activities at the suggestible age of twenty-two had created an appetite in Jason and Trent for the more unusual sexual practices known as BDSM.

Chapter One

Justin, Jason, and Trent, longtime friends and one-time classmates at Harvard, clinked glasses in the library of Le Club Laurel Oak–Ocala. Although the three of them had been in touch over the years, Jason and Trent had not seen Justin in nine years, since Jason and Justin had graduated from law school. The memorable spring break trip to Le Club Beaudelair–New Orleans had opened Jason’s and Trent’s eyes to the multitude of possibilities inherent in BDSM.
