Meeting Alice

You turn towards the sound of heels clicking against the marble and are greeted by a politely smiling young redhead in a short black pencil skirt and blouse, with a velvet red choker around her throat.

"Welcome to 'The Bleeding Rose', sir. My name's Alice. If you'd please follow me to the lobby, we can begin your orientation".

You nod and follow obediently as she turns and leaves, your gaze drifting to the sway of her ass squeezed into the tight little thigh-length skirt. She leads you through what looks like a lobby, with an empty, traditionally ornate desk in the corner, on which resides a desktop computer.

"You'll usually make your own way to my desk, where I'll help you browse whoever's currently available, and has declared you a potential partner. There's also a congregation hall, where you can meet and mingle with other clients instead, and request to occupy a vacant room with at your own discretion. But first, we'll just have to sort out your paperwork, to finalize your membership".

She directs you into a small, windowless room, bizarrely clinical and modern compared to the rest of the manor. You enter, sitting on a comfortable fabric sofa as Alice follows and sits besides you, wielding a skinny folder with your name on the front.

She lays it flat on the plastic table opposite, opening and pulling out a half dozen papers, laying them in front of you along with a pen.

"If you could just review your application form to check everything's accurate and sign the legal papers, I'll go through the standard orientation".

You agree, and start flicking through the papers as she continues.

"As a client of 'The Bleeding Rose', your free to enjoy it's services at any time, as it's open at all hours. You can either come directly the front desk to browse potential pairings, usually with me, or attend the congregation hall to make your own arrangements, but we must insist you don't engage in any sexual acts or feeding outside of the appropriate rooms upstairs.

The humans here are known as 'Residents'. They apply in a similar manner as you did, and if successful, are alloted a room that suits their particular requests and conditions. As fellow patrons, they are in no way obligated to you or any other client. We ask that you are civil and polite within the premises, and follow the correct procedures.

Please do not bring food, drink, or cigarettes onto premises, and outside of specially admitted guests, non-clients are are strictly prohibited. Medical experts and security are always on staff, so if you have any concerns regarding anything, feel free to approach any of the staff. Any questions?".

You shake your head, and return the signed papers. She gives a grateful smile, before returning them to her folder, then pulling up a sleeve of her blouse to expose her skinny wrist.

"Just one more precaution, to test your self-restraint and feeding method is appropriate. ..we could use a more impersonal method with the official equipment, but most prefer this".

She offers her wrist towards you, and after an awkward pause on your part, she insists.

"Go ahead, I'm used to it. Just please take care to only take a little, for the sake of your next sub, and my working day".
