As the night deepened, Marcus and Samantha finally emerged from the bedroom. Marcus took Samantha's hand, his touch gentle yet purposeful. "There's something we need to do before I show you more," he said, a hint of anticipation in his voice.
Samantha followed, curious and eager. As they moved through the vast estate, she noticed subtle changes - new furnishings, fresh paint, and an air of expectation that seemed to permeate every room.
Marcus led her to a wing of the mansion she hadn't explored before. With a flourish, he opened a set of ornate double doors, revealing another stunning library. Floor-to-ceiling shelves lined the walls, filled with books.
"This library contains only books about Bondage and Discipline, Dominance and Submission, and Sadism and Masochism," Marcus explained, his eyes soft as he watched Samantha's reaction. "I've been collecting books about them for centuries. It should help inform you about the things you need to know."
