Like any major city, Madrid, too has its eclectic suburbs. For The King of Infierno, I needed somewhere to base my BDSM club and for me, Chueca was the obvious choice.
I love Chueca! Every time I walk through its streets I find something new and different, sometimes it’s a little alternative market that seemingly popped up overnight, or an interesting gallery playing host to fabulous and unusual works of art. It’s exciting and fun and often my first choice to meet friends for a drink and tapas.
When imagining Chueca, think Paddington in Sydney, The Castro, San Fransisco and Greenwich Village in New York. Cheuca boasts unusual boutiques, an entire street of shoe shops and quirky tiendas selling kinky paraphernalia, outfits and toys. There are also many bars, nightclubs and restaurants. It’s a feast for the senses and always provides an abundance of interesting things to do and see.
Chueca is the top gay neighbourhood of Madrid. Whilst my main characters in The King of Infierno are heterosexual, Chueca definitely made for an interesting suburb in which to base my BDSM club. Over the years it has transformed from a rather run-down shabby area, to one of the most highly sought after neighbourhoods to live. It’s imbued with a unique vibrancy and colour. It’s trendy and chic and anything goes!
It is here where my hero, Donovan King, meets with numerous business associates and where he practices his clandestine BDSM activities. You can be anyone you want to be in Chueca, It’s the type of place where you can loose yourself or find yourself!
Imagine my heroine’s amazement as she wanders the narrow streets and remember Makayla’s sheltered upbringing has not allowed her to experience anything like it before. Her eyes would be the size of golf balls as she gazes in fascination at the many fetish shops peppered throughout the suburb. She will stare in astonishment at the skimpy outfits, black leather and outrageous lingerie adorning the many shop windows. She will feel a tingling sensation and she will shiver, her nipples pricking to hard points as she studies the sensual and erotic displays. Chueca is where Makayla comes into her own, where she evolves from a shy, somewhat awkward duckling, into a sexy tigress!
Excerpt from The King of Infierno:
A fierce fluttering sensation had taken root in Makayla’s belly and her hands felt clammy. She took deep breaths, willing her heart rate to calm.
She studied her reflection in the mirror, still dismayed at the difference in her appearance. She wore black, skintight leather pants that had taken her an age to wriggle into. Her latex halter-neck plunged low in the front and gripped her breasts like two firm hands, sending her cleavage spilling over the top. The back of the halter-neck dipped to tie in a short corset style, low on her spine. She sported sky-high platform heels in scarlet red, the same shade as her lipstick. She’d tied her thick blonde hair into a high plait, the end hitting just below her bare shoulder blades. In truth, she felt that she looked more like a Dominatrix than a submissive. She cocked her head to one side and assessed her image.
“You look…gorgeous,” a deep voice said from behind her. “Like fucking sex personified!”
She turned to face Donovan and his gaze raked her body from head to toe.
“That outfit should be illegal,” he whispered, stepping closer to her.
She frowned. “I was just thinking that I look like a Dominatrix.”
Donovan produced a box from his inside pocket. “That’s why you’ll be wearing this.” He opened the box, removed a necklace and turned her so that she was once more facing the mirror. He placed the necklace around her and locked it in place with a soft click. It sat high on her throat, like a choker, thick and smooth, the links fastened closely together in a snake chain. A ring encircled the chain to sit snugly at the base of her throat. She caressed the cold metal in admiration.
