“Hi, Anna?” The chipper female voice startled Anna back from her reading. The young woman scrambled up to her feet, combing back her shoulder length dark red hair, and smiled in response. “Yes, that’s me!”

A woman stood in the doorway leading out of the waiting room, deeper into the building. She was professionally attired, with sensible clothing that would blend in seamlessly with most offices. Her dark brown hair was drawn back in a snug bun, a few wisps breaking free that seemed to effortlessly frame her face in an alluring manner. The smile she focused on Anna almost immediately put the young woman at ease as she headed towards her, and she took the offered hand with a warm grip.

“My name’s Chloe,” the lady noted, and then beckoned Anna to follow her, “So I assume you’ve read our brochure. How can we help you?”

“Well,” Anna began, following her down the hallway, “My, uh, my boyfriend and I were planning to take a vacation.”

“Mmmm.” Chloe noted, walking calmly along beside Anna now, her pace dropping from brisk to meandering.

“It’s just…I really want to go on a cruise. I’ve always wanted to go, and my work actually came through and is covering a big chunk of the expenses as a thank you. But…” Anna gave a frustrated grunt, “He doesn’t like the water.”

“Ah.” Chloe managed to make the sound overflow with sympathy, “Not the ocean’s biggest fan then.”

“He doesn’t even like going to the beach!” Anna said, a tinge of exasperation colouring her voice, “I love him to death, seriously, but it just seemed such a silly thing.” She huffed a sigh and shook her head, “So I get that he won’t go on this cruise. I decided I was going to go, but I didn’t want to just leave him moping around the house for two weeks while I’m gone. I mean, he took the time off work too.”

The two women neared a door on the far side of the hallway and Chloe paused there for a moment, one hand resting on the door, “I see. So you think some time spent here would be relaxing for him?”

“Oh yes!” Anna nodded with a sudden grin, “Your brochure only confirmed it.”

“Mmmm.” Chloe nodded, then returned Anna’s smile, “Well, then why don’t I give you a brief spin through the main area of Significant Others Storage Solutions, and we can pick a package customized for you?”

Anna nodded happily, and then followed Chloe through the door. The next area they entered was another hallway, but this one was periodically interspersed with narrow strips of window at head height, along with several heavy looking doors. At the far end of the hallway it branched into an open space with a couple more doors leading off in various directions. Chloe indicated the nearest window strip to Anna, and launched into what sounded like a carefully rehearsed sales pitch.

“As you’ve no doubt read, our Storage Solutions here are customized to the individual couple. They can be further added to at the discretion of our staff, provided that option is allowed, to allow for preferences noticed or voiced by the individual left in our care.” Chloe smiled briefly, “Though many are not afforded too many opportunities to, ah, voice their preferences.”

Anna giggled a little at that, and then gave a small gasp as she looked into the nearest room. Half a dozen people sat in wheelchairs in front of a large television screen. All of them were straightjacketed and hooded, with thick collars keeping their heads upright and facing forwards. A plethora of straps secured them to their mobile platforms, leaving them immobile and utterly helpless. The screen in front of them was playing out a rather raunchy femdom scene with a couple dominas playing with several naked, quivering slaves. Two leather clad staff members strolled among the bound captives, groping and teasing them as they pleased, pausing every now and then to speak softly into a hooded ear, or plant a kiss on a hooded head.

Anna turned wide, excited eyes back to Chloe, who smiled in return, “Our customers who stay here have access to certain amenities like movies. Though staff members are charged with ensuring they remain secure and properly…stimulated.” Chloe gestured across the way to the other side, and continued speaking, “We also ensure that our clients are kept properly exercised. Though this can take a variety of forms, we do tend to concentrate on cardio.”

Anna peered through the next window. It was a small little gym space. Or rather, it was a room big enough for about half a dozen treadmills, plus a small weight training area. Four of the six treadmills were occupied by rubber covered slaves, all of whom were bound with snug armbinders, hoods, and collars, while also wearing alluring knee high boots with a generous heel. Chains kept them anchored to the machine, and hung from the ceiling to ensure they didn’t topple over. The mixed group of slaves were all forced to briskly march along and, from the way they occasionally twitched and quivered, they were clearly being stimulated as well. Anna bit at her lip and watched for a while longer as Chloe informed her of exercise regimes, diets that could be imposed, and other physical fitness options.

Anna nodded along, almost dreamlike, and began to move down the hallway. She took care to pause at each window, and drink in the sights. Bound and moaning slave boys and girls, most often covered head to toe in rubber or latex, were displayed for her. Anonymous yet exposed to her casual perusal of their bodies. All of them kept completely helpless and often utterly immobile in their bondage. Straightjackets, armbinders, and all other manner of bondage restraints were much in evidence. Rope was occasionally used, but largely left to suspension and hogties. That room had been especially stimulating as two staff members set a client to gently spinning as they teased and disciplined him.

Other rooms were dim and filled with occupied cages, which Chloe noted were the sleeping quarters for those who were uncomfortable with SOSS’ traditional sleeping arrangements. Chloe chivvied her along from there, leading her past rooms where clients were strapped to sybians, or to fucking machines, or other pleasure devices and repeatedly brought to wailing, grunting orgasms. Other rooms were clearly meant for isolation play, and she could hardly make out human forms among the mass of rubber and leather that covered everything within.

By the time Anna had reached the end of the hallway, her eyes were alight with lust and desire, and she was more convinced than ever. This was the place to leave Sam. He would adore it. At least, he would eventually. They had talked about this. Something like this. Wasn’t she supposed to fulfill his fantasies? She chuckled to herself. She supposed he’d eventually thank her. Anna could leave instructions for him to be sufficiently pleasured so he didn’t go quite out of his mind with lust. She was kind enough for that.

Chloe smiled at the thoughts written clearly over Anna’s face, “Now I have one final room on the basic tour that I’ll show you.” She approached the left hand doorway in the small room they had reached, “This is the traditional sleeping area for our guests.”

She opened the door, and Anna immediately heard calm, soothing spa music drifting out from the dark room. She cautiously followed Chloe inside, taking car to remain as quiet as she could. Inside the room large sturdy pillars were racked along either side, leaving room for a main walkway as well as smaller capillary paths in between them. Between each set of pillars were a quartet of racks, with each rack bearing the immobile, sleepsacked form of a SOSS client. Muffled humming and moaning wafted into the air from many of the forms, and Anna could see a few of them thrusting their hips against the tight latex that held them captive.

Chloe turned back to face her, and began to casually ran her hands along the nearest one, the female form within sending up a muffled moan as her breasts were groped and teased, “We have several more rooms just like this one, where clients are kept immobile and safe. Depending on how much activity time you select for your partner, some clients end up spending the majority of their time in their bunks. We have stimulation and training options, as with all other aspects of their stay, and they will be fully cared for of course.”

Chloe allowed Anna to inspect the room for a few minutes, taking the time herself to check the status of a few of her favourites in this particular holding room. Then, Anna’s inspection complete and her own tasks done, she led her back out to the small room where a couch and desk were arrayed for their comfort.

Sinking down into the couch, Chloe asked, “So, you’ve seen the bulk of the options available for our clients. What sort of stay were you thinking of booking for…?”

“Sam. Um, I don’t want it to be too mean for him…it is a vacation after all.”

“Of course,” Chloe murmured supportively, “Well I can ensure I flag that onto his file. We have a number of staff who excel at offering a more sensual and playful experience.” She brought out a small sheaf of forms, “Now, I will be leaving you to have an initial read through of these forms, as I need to go see to a few other matters. I’ll return in ten minutes and will be happy to answer any questions you might have. In the meantime, there are two documents to complete.”

She held up the first sheaf of papers and then passed them to Anna, “This one stipulates the sort of visit you would like him to have. You can note down the type of bondage he should be put in, the experiences he should be shown or participate in, any training or programming you would like down, and any exercise or other fun activities he would want to enjoy.” Chloe patted Anna’s leg and then indicated the second smaller sheaf, “Those pages there are payment options for his visit. We realize that many of our customers are unable to pay directly out of pocket for the perfect visit they have built for themselves, so we offer…discounts.”

“Discounts?”

“Quite.” Chloe smiled toothily, “For example, if you indicate that you are willing for Sam to be used recreationally by staff members, that brings a discount. All limits and restrictions for his use can be noted. We of course would not want any discomfort caused by overzealous use of a significant other. Otherwise you can note that he can be put into one of our Exposure hallways, wherein only certain parts of his body would be accessible for others to play with.”

Anna’s eyes had gone wide, “I…um…”

Chloe raised her hands placatingly, “None of that is required, of course. Don’t worry about that. It is simply there, along with other options, to ease the potential costs of a stay with us. Please do not feel obligated to avail yourself of those options, I will merely leave it with you to consider.” Chloe paused for a moment, “Though between the two options I’ve mentioned the staff toy one is perhaps the best for someone who does not want to be too…mean to their significant other. Our Exposure Hallways are not for the faint of heart.”

Chloe patted Anna’s leg again and rose gracefully to her feet, “So dear, I hope you plan out a wonderful stay for your Sam. When I return I will bring staff files for you to examine and select his handlers for his stay. They will be the only ones to interact with him, so you can customize as precisely as possible his stay. Happy planning!”

Out went Chloe.

Anna bent over the sheets, her mind racing as she examined the options available for her Sam. After a few minutes of form filling she examined the total, and winced for a moment. Her eyes flicked over to the other sheaf. For a brief moment her pen hovered over the first sheaf, as though intending to strike through some of her selections. But, jaw firming, she snatched the second stack and began making notations on it. Sam had always wanted a dominatrix session. Provided he didn’t have sex with these girls, Anna didn’t see much problem in them playing with him otherwise.

After all, she wanted him to enjoy his vacation too.
