Finding the place was a challenge. Here I was, in a dingy mall, searching for an unmarked door. My heart pounded, and my arms trembled with anticipation.
I was in street clothes, but I knew that the clientele at this establishment would be wearing something… other.
So, I craned my neck as I turned down each corridor, resisting the urge to pull out my phone for the eighth time to read the unit number back once again.
Then I see it, something out of place. A flash of someone… shiny. Clad from the neck down in rubber. They turn a corner and disappear.
That must be it.
I follow, rounding just in time to see them disappear behind an unmarked door as it closes.
Jeez, it looks like it could just be a maintenance closet through here.
A small sign read “IYKYK! Ring doorbell for access!” I glanced up at the unit number. #03-22. I’m in the right place.
Nothing left to do but to do it. I reached out and jabbed the doorbell.
The hallway of this deserted mall was silent, save for a faint electrical hum from the outdated lighting. I could feel my pulse racing, trepidation beading down my forehead in little rivulets of sweat.
I dab it away gently, not to ruin my make-up.
This must be the wrong door… I should just leave, turn around, go home-
The door swings open, interrupting me mid-second-guess.
Sounds of music, distant murmuring, colorful lighting, a distant… moan?
How was such a non-descript door so soundproof?
I hadn’t noticed the figure standing in the doorway. A short but stocky man, dressed in a tight latex shirt and pants ensemble. A headpiece with oversized cat ears is a stark contrast to his professional stance. His eyes dart up and down my streetwear; worn to fit in, but now so out of place.
“Can I help you, miss?”
“I-uh… I’m here for the uh… latex night.”
His look softens, and his demeanor warms up, grin widening into a large cheshire smile. He takes another look, now warmer, at my clothing, spun of plain old cotton and linen.
“Oh, of course, of course! Do you need a place to change?”
“Oh uh… I don’t have a change of clothes. It’s my first time.”
“Ah, no worries, no worries. Welcome, welcome! Come on in, let me show you around!”
He turns, ushering me into the establishment and closing the door behind us. And down the rabbit hole I follow.
The bar was an experience. The air was thick with the scent of latex and sweat, dim lights pulsed with dark music, and bodies in glossy attire moved around in a sensual rhythm.
Everywhere I looked, people were clad in tight latex and leather, glossy and form-fitting. Some lounged casually at the bar, sipping drinks with relaxed confidence, while others were more entangled—wrapped in restraints, hands gliding over slick surfaces… At one table in particular, a woman sat with a look of ecstasy across her face, while another woman leaned in, murmuring strange secrets with a tantalizing intensity, hands concealed beneath the table.
My cheeks flushed as I took it all in. I had fallen into a dreamscape, a den of deviancy where nothing was too taboo. All of it laid bare before me and clad in rubber, no shame, no judgment—just a celebration of desires I’d kept hidden for so long. My pulse quickened, a mix of fear and thrill coursing through me. I was an outsider, a voyeur, and yet, something about this place made me feel like I was right where I belonged.
“Welcome to the Grotto of Gloss! Make yourself at home, no pressure for pleasure until you’re ready! We’ve got stations, stages, cages, devices, ties, fetishes… if you can’t see it, we’ve probably got it out back, just holler and we’ll look real good, good?”
“Yeah, t-thanks.”
It’s a struggle to take it all in all at once. My eyes wander across the glossy bodies, and I feel eyes wondering about my very plain clothes. Suddenly I am the one out of place here.
The doorman hands me a clear drink with a tiny straw.
“Welcome, welcome, here’s your first round on the house to get you going. There’s a free table out back if you wanna hang back, otherwise the floor is yours.”
The glass is cold in my hands, and the clear beverage enticing. The doorman leans in.
“House rules: consent, communication, comfort. Photos only of yourself or consenting adults. We good?”
“Yes, good.”
He hands me a freshly printed sheet of paper. On it is a crisp QR code.
“If you want anything, just scan the QR code to place an order and staff will find you… or them!”
“…them?”
But he has already turned to leave. I stand there perplexed, drink and QR code in hand. A loud moan nearby pulls me out of my stupor, and I stumble over to my table in the corner.
I sit down and absorb the scene, feeling out of my element.
What am I doing here?
I take a long sip of my welcome drink—gin and tonic. Good gin too, and generous. A fitting welcome for a fish out of water.
As I settle into my seat, the initial shock begins to fade, replaced by a rush of uncertainty and excitement. I glance around at the kaleidoscope of sights and sounds, trying to steady my nerves. The ambiance is both exhilarating and overwhelming.
The sights and sounds rush by: a figure in full rubber moves gracefully, a couple in a booth plays with rope, and whispers and laughter fill the air.
Faster than I realize, I finish my drink, its warmth blending into rising excitement. The allure of the vibrant, kinky energy setting in. I feel a growing urge to join in, to experience what I’ve been watching, yet a part of me remains hesitant, rooted in my seat. The desire is palpable, but fear still holds me back.
I need another drink.
I pulled my phone and scanned the QR code, as instructed. The menu loads up, sleek and simple, offering everything from cocktails to snacks. But then my eyes are drawn to the prices.
Oh.
This is far from a dive bar. Premium liquors and top-shelf mixers, Michelin-worthy bar snacks. This was going to put me way out of budget. And so many categories to expand. Drinks, snacks meals… Ropes…? Latex…? Bondage…?
…what?
But then, a pop-up flashed across my phone—a special offer:
50% off ALL MENU ITEMS! Use voucher code BUNNY. ONE REDEMPTION ONLY!! (Terms and Conditions Apply).
What fortuitous timing. My finger jabs at the redemption button and I rapid-fire the code into the field. Maybe next time I’ll be willing to spend more, but not tonight. I skipped the fine print; just the usual e-commerce Ts and Cs, no doubt.
There’s a full-screen splash of confetti and a pop-up:
Congratulations! Please take a selfie to validate your redemption!
I do as instructed, lining up the frame and taking the shot. In any other circumstances it would be a perfectly normal selfie, but the collar of my cotton dress is a stark contrast to the gloss and glamor I’m surrounded by. Even my make-up, heavy by office standards, is a bare natural look next to the other faces in the bar.
I send the photo through the system, and the page refreshes. When it reloads, I notice the menu now shows only the usual categories: Drinks, Snacks, Meals. Maybe I was imagining things earlier.
It’s probably just a glitch.
I browse through the options, pleasantly surprised by the discount. A nice touch for a first-timer, I think, as I continue to explore.
With the discount, I order indulgent treats I usually can’t afford. Nibbling on snacks and sipping my drink, I’m absorbed by the vibrant scene. The playful spectacles and tantalizing interactions stir a growing excitement within me, and I find myself increasingly aroused by the vivid displays of kink.
Next time, next time I’ll play.
Time slips by as my curiosity and desire are piqued by the lively, sensual energy enveloping me. I can’t help but fantasize, imagining myself in the various scenes playing out. My knees clench together, and a growing heat builds in my reddening face as I sink deeper into my headspace.
I am pulled out of my stupor, grounded by a figure approaching me. One of the bar staff, clad in a sleek black latex uniform and cat ears, strides over with purposeful elegance. In their hands, they hold a neatly folded bundle of shiny rubber, its black surface catching the dim, pulsing light.
“Excuse me, miss,”
Their voice is smooth and professional.
“You’ve been given your first gift of the evening, courtesy of an anonymous benefactor.”
I blink in surprise as they set the bundle on the table before me, placing a small padlock atop it. My heart skips a beat, a mix of excitement and anxiety washing over me.
“This is for you,”
Their neutral tone is tinged with a hint of amusement.
“You’ve been gifted thirty minutes in this suit.”
“W-what?”
The staff member’s lips curl into a small, knowing smile.
“Yes, as per the BUNNY terms and conditions you accepted when you used the discount. You did read the fine print, right?”
My breath catches as the implications sink in. I glance at the empty dishes and drinks I’d already consumed, then at the folded suit, its glossy surface promising a level of immersion I hadn’t anticipated. My mind races back to the terms I hastily agreed to…
“But... I didn’t realize...”
“It’s all part of the experience, the suit will be secured, and you’ll be fully immersed in the atmosphere of the Grotto of Gloss… Alternatively, we could cancel the discount…?”
I can’t help but nod, a flush creeping up my neck. The staff member gestures towards the door leading to the changing room.
“If you’d follow me, we can get you suited up. It’s a memorable way to begin your journey here. Don’t worry, your safety is our priority, and our staff will be paying special attention to you to make sure that things don’t go overboard.”
As I rise from my seat, a strange thrill runs through me. There’s no backing out now. I take a deep breath and follow the staff member, the weight of the evening’s unexpected turn settling heavily on my shoulders.
