I work at a few private dungeons / play spaces around the City. And most of my submissives / slaves strongly prefer to see me one-on-one in those spaces. I assume a very strong part of that preference, although I really do not ask, is that they are very much concerned with “discretion”. Perhaps they are in a traditional marriage, or perhaps they wouldn’t be comfortable with friends or work colleagues knowing that they are interested in BDSM and seeing a powerful TS mistress like me. That’s fine with me, and I like the challenge of creating a private special space where they can express that part of themselves – at least for a short while.

But I do have a few slaves who like to go out in public. Perhaps they didn’t start out there, but I seem to have a talent for training and encouragement – and for recognizing which slaves are ready for (and wanting!) new experiences. So while they might have started out serving me in one of my private dungeons, I have gradually made them explore new things – perhaps a new piece of bondage equipment, perhaps a new way of serving me – until I judge that they are ready and worthy to come out in public with me.

One place I like to go with slaves is the Citadel. They have a range of different nights – some of which are more suitable than others. For example, every 3-6 months, there is Mystique, an event “for Dominant Women and those who wish to serve them”. How perfect! For the last one in May, I arranged to meet my slave at the street door. He was in street clothes with a duffle bag. I of course do not do street clothes, so was wearing a tasteful wrap over my corset, stockings and boots. Was it my imagination or had the driver’s eyes opened wide as I climbed into the cab on the way down there? Once we were inside I stowed my wrap and my slave quickly changed into a rather tasteful black leather posing pouch – all the while apologizing for being so inappropriately dressed on arrival / taking so long. Then I had him stand still and quiet while I put my favorite heavy leather collar on him – snug but too tight. Next I attached a heavy chain leash to the collar and we were ready.

The Citadel is a rather large space, with multiple rooms – a main open play space, a café area, and various areas where people can gather and chat. So I like to lead my slave around, a few steps respectfully behind me, not speaking unless spoken too, while I explore and see what play is going on, and who I know there from the community. So I might stop to watch a particularly interesting or imaginative scene, or spend a few moments renewing an acquaintance / catching up with a fellow mistress – all the while with my slave standing quietly behind me on his leash. And perhaps if the mood takes me I’ll tie my slave to one of the crosses and flog him for a while – or offer him to one of my friends for their pleasure.

This is my world. I love it. And having a pliant slave at my command adds to my pleasure.
