The Red Room Job — Stephanie West

Sarah had cleaned houses for quite a while, then one day it happened, the job every cleaning lady dreads. Well, today was Sarah's day, and Malcolm was the mysterious client, who wanted her to clean his red room.

She'd encountered client's secret little toys, but never had she been specifically hired to clean them. Sarah laughed as she surveyed the bondage equipment and toys. It was a surreal and comical feeling, standing in the red room. As daunting as Malcolm and his fetish were, she really needed the money, so Sarah dove right in, signed the contract, and took the job.

However, Malcolm wasn't the only one keeping secrets. Sarah had been running from her past for quite a while. And she'd been running from the truth, when she took the red room job. How she thought she could possibly clean up after the man who caught her eye, she'd never know.

The Red Room Job is a mix of comedy, intrigue, and a little tie-me-up tie-me-down, all inspired by some very real-world novelties. I've added these little experiences at the very end, after the author's note.
