Why do you want to join Club Delco?
Because I need a safe space where I can rediscover parts of myself I've put on the shelf for too long.
Do you have any experience with BDSM? If so, for how long?
Yeah. I've explored it with a few partners over the years—probably around five or six altogether.
Would you describe yourself as dominant, submissive, or switch?
Dominant.
What are your interests in BDSM? (Check all that apply.)
Rope, leather, toys, collaring, edging, impact play, rough sex, group scenes, exhibition, voyeurism.
Anything you haven't tried but are curious about?
Definitely. Roleplay, shibari, sensation play... and probably more once I get back into the rhythm.
How important are safewords to you?
Non-negotiable. They're everything.
Would you be open to workshops (solo or group) to learn new techniques?
Absolutely. Both.
It only takes me about fifteen minutes to fill everything out. I hit "send" on the application and included a quick note to Cedric—just a heads-up that I've got my STI test lined up for the morning.
That night, my dreams are a strange blur of leather, strawberry-sweet skin, and the electric buzz of anticipation.
The next morning, I woke up to a reply sitting in my inbox.
Subject: Welcome to Club Delco!
From: Cedric Mark, Membership Coordinator
Dear Gabriel,
We're excited to welcome you as a new member at Club Delco. Based on your application, we believe your experience and interests will be a great fit for the community.
Please let us know a convenient time to visit the club for a short, in-person meeting to finalize your membership and take care of a few forms. It usually takes about 30 minutes—you're welcome to stay and explore afterward.
Looking forward to meeting you, Cedric.
I can hear my heartbeat when I finish reading. I hadn't expected a reply this fast, especially not after submitting something so personal. But even if it had taken them a month to get back to me, I'd still be sitting here, fingers twitching, waiting for the chance.
I quickly check the club's operating hours, then type out a reply, my hands not quite steady.
Hi Cedric,
Thanks so much. I can be there this Saturday at 8 p.m.—does that work for you?
Gabriel Rollins
The response comes back barely fifteen minutes later. Confirmed.
I sit back and stare at the screen, a slow grin tugging at my lips.
I'm in.
