I have decided to compose this work of non-fiction in efforts to catalog my sordid and raucous affairs inside the 'Viper's Pit'.

Now I know you're already asking yourself two important questions, "Who am I and what is the 'Viper's Pit'?" Well, just have patience and all of your questions will be answered.

I will begin, as all good stories should, by introducing myself. I am Katalina Crosby, heir to the multimillion dollar Crosby estate, successful business entrepreneur - I own my own clothing line -, and council woman for the city of Hambleton PA.

I am 43 years of age and have just began going through 'the change'. As a result I find myself suffering from an intense case of constant arousal that no amount of fulfillment can satisfy. This fact is what originally led to my visiting 'Viper's Pit'.

I had recently been diagnosed as pre-menopausal and during a long conversation with my doctor concerning my heightened state of arousal and inability to achieve release she recommended trying something new and exciting.

Being a woman of business and influence, I have always put business before pleasure. Having received the news that my biological clock was nearing it's end my thoughts turned to all of the things I had missed out on as a young woman. The chance to have a family and children of my own being the greatest of these regrets. Sure I had the occasional trist or one-night stand, but it was only ever when I desired it and never for the sake of procreation. Looking back at that point in my life, I now realize that even those relationships had been too few and far between.

Anyway, after my doctor's visit I spent several weeks prowling various porn sites online in an effort to see what might appeal to me. It was not until I ran across the subject of bondage that I began to feel the slightest of thrills.

Afterword, I began to submerse myself in the topic. While the thought of being bound was exciting, once I became interested in BDSM specifically, I knew I had found my kink.

Now, that leads us to the second question: What is 'Viper's Pit'? It is a business, one that is in the business of satisfying the most perverse of desires; in short it is a BDSM club where people can come together and indulge themselves with their darkest fantasies. The owner, a man named Tiberius Black, has been running his establishment since before I was even born; he had the foresight to see that society would someday embrace such things.

Now that you know a bit about myself and 'Viper Pit' - here after referred to simply as 'The Pit' - I believe it is high time to begin my chronicle.

The first time I darkened the door to The Pit was a warm summer evening. I had learned of the place during my research on line.

So there I stood, purse in hand, staring at the brightly painted blue front door trying to muster the courage to knock. There were no markings of any kind signaling I was in the right place, no sign, no address, nothing but a bright blue door. After taking several deep breaths to still my nerves I reach out, take the knocker between my fingers, and knock on the door. When the door swung open immediately thereafter sat the strangest looking man. His appearance did much more than intimidate though. It actually excited me. And, oddly enough the excitement made me nervous as well! My eyes locked onto his face...

I would later come to know him as Luther; his piercing blue eyes peered out from behind a mask of sequins and colored feathers which only covered his face from the nose up. His massive chest rippled with muscle, a pair of black leather suspenders draped over his bare shoulders.

I could already feel myself growing wet as he pulled himself to his feet and approached. He stood well over a foot taller than myself and his biceps were thicker than either one of my thighs. His hands clasped behind his back, he spoke softly as he drew close.

"You look a little lost. Is there something I can help you with?" he asked far more politely than I would have expected.
