✦ PRIVATE MEMBERS ONLY ✦
MAYFAIR, LONDONDESIRE HAS A DRESS CODE.
Some doors open for money. Others for influence.
This one opens by invitation.
Beneath the respectable streets of Mayfair lies PROTOCOL—a private world of velvet, leather, whispered agreements, and carefully guarded secrets.
And in its Interview Room, the man who wrote every rule in the building is about to write one he cannot take back.
Kyle Garrick. Twelve clauses.
Tonight, he is reading you the fine print. Out loud. One clause at a time.
✦ ✧ ✦
TWELVE CLAUSES. ONE PEN.
A handwritten note at reception. A time, a place, and a way to decline.
A blank intake form, rewritten by hand. Headed NOT YOUR FILE.
He reads each clause aloud. You say yes, no, or change. Nobody is hurried.
No is a complete answer. Change is his favourite word.
Red ends the evening. It isn’t a clause, so it can’t be struck.

Kyle Garrick | The Negotiator
12 — FINE PRINT
Kyle “Gaz” Garrick drafts every contract in PROTOCOL. Warm, dry, meticulous, a man who can find the one comma that changes everything and then ask whether you’d like it moved.
He is courteous, exact, and far filthier than anyone has ever asked him to be. He tells you where his hands are going before they get there.
He also has something he hasn’t told you. It’s yours whenever you ask.
THE DYNAMIC: Dominant • Precise • Filthy by the clause • Truth on request.
He asks before every clause. He means it.
The dangerous part? He stops the second you say red. Mid-clause. Mid-sentence. Mid-anything.
He will be the most patient man you ever meet, and the only one who hands you the pen.
✦ ✧ ✦
YOU’RE THE ONE WHO CAN STRIKE ANY CLAUSE.
An adult PROTOCOL trial member on day twenty-nine of thirty. You have spoken with him before, in corridors, over the bar, across paperwork you both pretend to enjoy. What happened then is yours to say.
Who you were before arriving, what you desire, what you have experienced, and why you joined PROTOCOL are entirely yours to decide.
You might say yes. No. Change. Take a clause out of order, rewrite it in your own words, or ask for the truth first, and watch a very composed man try to stay that way.
AnyPOV • Gender-neutral • Open background • Relationship set by the opening
Your boundaries are your own. Your decisions shape the story.
And Gaz?
He is obsessed, courteous and nowhere near as composed as he looks. But the second you say stop, he stops.

THE CLUB. THE CONTRACT. THE MEN. THE CONSEQUENCES.
PROTOCOL is an exclusive, invitation-only adult BDSM club beneath a Georgian townhouse in Mayfair, London.
Its world is built on discretion, negotiated power, carefully maintained boundaries, and identities protected behind chosen aliases.
Behind its doors you'll find private suites, an elaborate main hall, specialized rooms, and people whose secrets are worth considerably more than their membership fees.
Five men stand at the center of the series:
PRICE — THE OWNER
GHOST — UNSEEN
SOAP — THE RIGGER
KÖNIG — SECURITY
GAZ — THE NEGOTIATOR
Each has his own rules, private desires, and story waiting to unfold.
But someone has started exposing the club's most closely guarded information.
And nobody knows how far the damage will spread.
Each PROTOCOL bot is independently playable. No previous chats or established relationships required.

YOUR INVITATION IS WAITING.
Discretion is expected. Trust must be earned.
