“As you know, David,” Clare said. “Brenda owns the entire property and lives in the penthouse on the top floor. Here is my story of the last part of my Saturday date with Brenda.”
We pulled into a car park by the block of her apartments. From the outside, other than its size, there was nothing to woo you, and little kerbside appeal; just four floors and a flat roof. It was rather plain and white, except for the dark windows and the nearest corner, where the front door was. That corner was four floors of solid dark glass, which matched all the other windows. It gave the building a modern feel.
The most impressive thing was the block size and the fact that Brenda owned it. I was trying to judge how many flats there were per floor. I was thinking of anything between ten and twelve. Brenda later told me that there were only eight, but each was large and of the highest internal specification.
We gathered all the shopping bags and walked to the front key-coded door. She showed me how to work the keypad and made sure I had the number, but then let me know they changed every quarter. Once in, we caught the lift to the top floor rather than taking the steps.
As we arrived, the lift opened onto a landing with only one grey extra wide door. It was ahead and to the right of us, at the top of the stairs.
Brenda opened the door using another key number, and she then told me. “This number is mine and I change it when I want to.” There was also a security alarm on the other side, which is the same number but for the last digit. We stepped across the threshold and entered a short grey-coloured corridor that had a lit, full-height, continuous mirror on the left-hand side and a large walk-in closet on the right.
“This where I keep my going out and guest coats,” Brenda announced, but in all honestly, it was a room larger than my bedroom back home. I was also thinking about why all the security and then I wondered how big her apartment was. I had seen no other doors.
At the end of the corridor, there was a final extra-wide door that Brenda opened with a key. As she did so, she said, “I get you a key if we become official.”
She then opened the door wide and proudly said, “Welcome to my humble abode.”
To be honest, I was not really listening, as we had just stepped into another world. It was the most amazing private space I had ever been in, with its multi-coloured lighting and its size. It was huge. I think my jaw hit the floor as I subconsciously just said, “Wow.”
The new room was long, and at our end, it ran the entire width of the building. To the left and towards the front of the apartments was a lounge area. It was oval-shaped and sunken at maybe two or three feet deep, with five wide marble steps to get down to the carpeted floor. It was also the only place I could see with a carpet, and it was black with a large, white fury rug in front of a massive unlit gas fire; a polished copper hood that acted as a chimney.
The curved lounge area had a long, fitted white sofa running around the curve on both sides. The only gaps in the sofa were for the fire at the further end and the steps opposite the fire and closest to us. I guess twenty people could easily sit down there, but there was no TV or other furniture on the sunken level, just the white fury rug and the large open gas fire.
Brenda was looking at me and smiling, my jaw still on the floor. To the right of us was the dance floor and on the back wall, some sliding doors which looked like they opened out onto a large baloney. Brenda was now grinning at me. It was now apparent that she liked to surprise people and show her place off.
“My dear, did I not mention that I live on the whole of the top floor?”
We looked at each other and smiled, as we both knew Brenda hadn’t.
“It is two hundred and fifty feet long and one hundred feet wide. When I commissioned the building three years ago, I had the whole floor layout to play with and I have had it designed to suit my tastes. This is the entertaining area where I hold my themed parties.”
As I looked around, Brenda started to point to things as she spoke.
“There is the bar and kitchen area. There are eight guest double bedrooms down there, each colour coded and with an ensuite bathroom. My master suite is on the right. It is the red bedroom, but we get to that a little later.”
She was pointing to a corridor that ran off the kitchen area towards the other end of the block. All I could think at that moment was, how do you keep this place clean? I struggled to keep my little bedroom tidy, and I surmised Brenda must employ a whole cleaning company!
“Behind you is the wet area.”
I looked and noticed two more doors to the left of the one we came through. They were all identical in design.
“The door in the middle is the toilets, but it’s only really used during my parties. You have to come to the next one, my dear.” Brenda was in full flow now, and she walked to the door nearest the rear of the block and opened it.
I had the feeling that this penthouse tour was well-practised by Brenda.
“This is the wet area,” and we walked in through another door into a large and very warm room.
There was a steam room and a sauna to our right, then three showers, but the dominant feature in the room was the large, custom-made, twelve-seater hot tub. It was so big you could almost swim in it. There were also various blue seats and a bench, all softly furnished but designed to be waterproof and in the middle of the floor was a large drain with a grid in it. On the wall, was a rolled-up hose pipe which I guess, could be used to wash the room down. It was truly a wet room, the first one I had ever been in.
The room’s rear wall consisted mainly of a long sliding glass door with multiple openings that lead onto a balcony that ran most of the length of the rear of the building. As I looked out at the view, it felt like we were much higher up as the land dropped away towards where I lived, just under a mile away. You could see the beginning of the large forest that was the start of the countryside and which my home all but backs onto.
“This room is always open during parties. You may notice that it is warm in here, as I always keep it two degrees warmer than the rest of the apartment. I also use it for certain types of my more erotic photo shoots.”
I was not quite sure what Brenda meant by that, but I let it go and just went with Brenda’s flow, as I wanted to see as much as I could of her “Humble Abode” before I had to leave.
We walked across the wide entertainment area, past the bar and down the front of the building into an extensive area which was about one-third of the width of the apartment. Photos of women, mostly scantily clad or semi-nude, decorated the walls. I stopped to look at a couple of them, which made Brenda smile.
“My dear, these are some of the models that I have worked with me. Many of them were also my lovers or even girlfriends. I am very much hoping to add your photos to these walls.”
David, I could only gulp at the thought. As you know, I am not that confident in front of a camera.
“This is the chill-out area,” as we walked past a few chair settees and even an enormous television, I didn’t realise that they made them so large. We could have been in a commercial bar or pub, but we were not. This was Brenda’s home, and then we came to another extra wide large door with a keypad on it.
“Through there is my private studio, though as you know, my main one is in the city. I normally keep this locked as I have a lot of valuable equipment and work in there, as well as private and commercially sensitive projects. I will quickly show you after your shower.”
We stopped and turned right through another similar door, though with no keypad, and then right again into what I can only assume was the bedroom corridor. As we walked down it, hidden lights came on in front of us, each one lighting our way.
I stopped and looked into one of the rooms on the right. There were a few of them, but all were the same except for the colour of the bedroom’s carpet, the fittings and the light which illuminated the perimeter of every bed headboard. Every one of the eight guest bedrooms was decorated in its own unique colour.
The colours were, yellow, blue, green, purple, orange, turquoise, white, and pink. There were all designed to be the same except for the pink one. That was the main guest room, reserved for special guests and was located on the opposite side of the corridor to the rest, and next to Brenda’s master red-coloured suite.
The guest bedroom I was looking at was dark sandy yellow. There were no windows, but sunlight did flood down through the two large skylights, one above either side of the bed. On the ceiling above the bed was a large mirror, so as you lie there, you could look up and see yourself looking down. Each guest room had a large king-size bed and an ensuite bathroom. I also notice that the photos here were all of naked women; their poses were much more explicit than those in the chill-out area.
Brenda was watching me and she then told me, “My dear, we use these rooms during the parties, and they are for fucking in.” She then added, “I am hoping to have a few photos of you on these walls as well, and soon.”
That comment came with an enormous grin from Brenda, and I honestly did not know what to say. So in return, I smiled and just kept quiet as I thought that maybe this was another part of my audition.
We stopped and turned left through a door. I was still carrying all the bags.
“This is my bedroom,” Brenda warmly announced, this time with a warm smile rather than a grin.
“Wow,” is all I could say again as I looked around the sparsely decorated room.
It was huge, but it was the size of the bed that caught my attention. I am used to sleeping in my single bed in the room I share with my sister. You could have put ten of those beds in this one. It was massive, both in width and length. You could easily sleep eight in it and I could not help but think that maybe occasionally it did sleep eight. Though I also guessed when that happened, there would be very little sleeping done!
It was a thought which caused a shiver to run down my spine, as I realised the next time it could be me in that bed, with Brenda and maybe other lesbian ladies!
Brenda’s bedroom was surprisingly sparse of other furniture, just two bedside units, one on each side of the gigantic bed. The rest of the walls were light grey, the same colour as most of the rest of the apartment. However, as I have previously mentioned, all the carpets in the bedrooms were in different colours. Brenda’s was a deep red.
There were also seventeen black-and-white photos equally spaced on the walls, with space for at least another three. Each photo showed a full-size and completely naked female model. They posed very similarly, full frontal, with one leg slightly in front of the other, their pubic hair completely shaved, and each model looking directly into the camera.
Around each photo was a grey frame with a dark red strip inlaid into it, and in the middle of the bottom section of the frame was a name. I looked at the first name and it read Paula. Intrigued, I walked past each photo whilst reading the names Paula, Linda, Anna, Nadia, Laura, and Martina. That name made me stop and looked up. It was Martina, the girl from the clothes boutique which we had visited earlier in the day.
