“What better way to test a woman’s loyalties,” Zeke said. “I’m happy to say she passed with flying colors.”
Lara glared at Zeke. “You were testing me?”
Zeke held his hands up in front of him. “Sorry, just had to make sure you were the right woman for my man Colby here.”
“Zeke, go find Melanie. She was looking for you earlier,” Colby said. “Don’t forget your shift starts in two hours.”
“I won’t, and off I go to have some fun.” Zeke moved away, and Lara looked up at Colby.
“What was that all about?” Lara asked.
“Zeke just being Zeke.” They’d become good friends when he’d done some work in the shop for Colby, and now they worked together at the club. “And before you ask, no, I didn’t send him over. I trust you.”
“You better.” She glanced around the club, amazed at how busy it had gotten over the last few hours. “Are you off shift now?”
“Yes. Are you ready to take a stroll?”
“I am.” Lara looked over at Sierra and Tessa.
“Oh, don’t mind us. Our men are on their way over,” Tessa said with a flirty grin.
“Let’s go.” With his arm around her waist, Colby led Lara from the green area and out into the club.
Then the music hit her. A wild beat that resonated deep within her body. Colby leaned down. “Shall we start with the bondage scene?”
The music wasn’t so loud she couldn’t hear him. Interesting. At the other kink gatherings she’d attended, the music had been super loud, and she could hardly hear anyone talk. “That sounds perfect.”
Colby guided her to the bondage scene that was just being set up. “How do you want to do this?”
“What do you mean, Sir?” Damn, earlier she’d forgotten the Sir. Had Colby noticed? Would he punish her? And why did that thought make her hot?
“We can stand, or we can sit.” He tilted her head up until their gazes met. “And by sitting, I mean you will either be on my lap or sitting between my legs.”
Lara tilted her head. Colby hadn’t mentioned anything like that before. How did she feel about it? Sitting in his lap felt a little too intimate. They hadn’t had more than kisses the last couple of weeks.
“Can you explain what you mean about me sitting between your legs, Sir?”
“It’s easier to show you, especially if sitting in my lap is out of the question.” He led her to the sofa sitting in front of the stage. He grabbed one of the oversized pillows and placed it on the floor.
She realized what he was doing. “I get it now, Sir.”
“Good. Let me help you onto the pillow.”
Lara did as Colby asked. And he slowly lowered her until her butt rested fully on the pillow. Colby straightened and smiled. She tilted her head back and stared up at him. “But where are you sitting, Sir?”
“Behind you.” Colby maneuvered around her. “Lean right just for a moment.” Lara did as he said, and Colby sat down with both legs next to her left shoulder. “All right, now close your eyes, lean left, and duck your head.”
She took a deep breath and followed his directions. Colby’s body shifted behind her and then… His legs were on either side of her. She opened her eyes. Yep. He was now straddling her back. “Wouldn’t it have been easier if you sat down first, Sir?”
“Maybe.” Colby shifted once again, the heat from his body encompassing hers. “Rest back against the sofa,” he said, his palms on her shoulders.
Lara took a deep breath and let it out, forcing herself to relax. Colby’s legs pressed up against her arms, and Lara laid her hands in her lap. Colby shifted behind her again, and his crotch was pressed closer to her back. She fought not to squirm as the ridge of his cock made itself known.
“Now as we watch the scene, I’ll be able to touch you.”
As if to prove his point, he lightly traced her collarbone, following the line of the leather halter-top until he came to her breast. Then he splayed his fingers over her breast.
Her breath caught in her throat at the feel of his hand cupping her breast even with the fabric between them. She hadn’t expected this strong sensation. Not this intense need.
“Remember,” he said softly, his breath brushing her ear. “I’ve read your questionnaire. We’ll take it slow. And I’ll warn you when I want to untie your top so I can touch your luscious globes.”
She didn’t think her body could get any hotter, but it did. Especially when Colby’s fingers played with the laces down the front of the halter top.
“Now pay attention, sweetheart. The scene is about to begin.”
Lara focused on the stage. A sub stood off to the side as the Dom arranged everything on the table to his satisfaction.
“Tonight, you get to see David, who is one of the long-time Doms in the club, and Regina, one of the long-time subs. Regina is a club sub.”
“Is Dom David in a committed relationship, Sir?”
“Yes, he is. David is married. His wife understands about his wanting to be in a club. She doesn’t mind playing at home; she just won’t do it in the club. So David will play with one of the club subs when they request it.”
“And Regina, Sir?”
“Regina is unattached. She’s played with David before, and they enjoy playing together. And no, they don’t have sex.”
She blew out a breath. His reminder made her feel better. She wasn’t sure how she would feel if someone was cheating on their spouse and she was watching. What was she thinking? It could be a polyamorous arrangement, which was perfectly fine.
“How long have you been a monitor here at the club, Sir?”
“A couple of months. Zeke and I were asked if we would do it. We have both been part of the club since right after it opened.”
“So that means…” She tilted her head back. “You’ve played with some of the club subs, Sir?”
“Yes, my sweet.” His fingers traced her neck and she shivered. “But I didn’t have sex with them.”
Lara let out a breath. “Am I questioning too much, Sir?”
“No. There has to be honesty between us, and I’d rather you ask questions than for there to be any misunderstandings.”
“Thank you, Sir.” Lara lowered her head and returned her attention to the stage. Regina had removed her clothing. For just a moment, Lara was shocked, but then she realized there was nothing to be shocked about. They were all consenting adults.
David held out what looked like a pair of roped panties. He helped Regina into them before he led Regina over to an unusual looking chair. Lara hadn’t seen a chair like that before. It was made of wood and had a bar across the top that one could use to secure a sub’s arms.
The bottom half of the chair was different. The seat was split, and Lara couldn’t figure out why.
“I know we have some new people here tonight,” David’s voice rang clear through the area. “Regina enjoys being bound, so tonight, I’m going to use the bondage chair and show you some different ways you can tie up your sub.”
Lara shifted on the pillow and kept her gaze on the couple on stage. The Dom picked up several strands of rope.
“For the newer people out there, I’m using hemp rope today. Hemp rope is good because it’s strong yet soft. If you’re new to bondage, this is an expensive rope.” As David talked, he began to tie Regina’s left arm. The purple rope stood out against her creamy skin and the dark wood of the chair.
“I like using hemp because it allows me to use fewer knots. You’ll also see hemp used with Shibari.”
“Have you ever seen Shibari?” Colby asked her.
“No, Sir.” Lara kept her gaze on the couple, fascinated by the way David moved around Regina as he secured her arms into place. How would it feel if Colby did that to her? Her pussy muscles tightened, and her breasts swelled.
“I’ll make sure you see a demonstration. Shibari can be very sensual.”
He lightly ran his fingers up and down her arms, his rough skin against her soft skin creating a delicious
sensation.
“Now, I’m sure some of you are wondering why I selected this chair in particular.” David knelt behind the chair and reached underneath, then he stood up. “This chair has a very special feature.”
He moved around and stood off to the left-hand side, then reached over and put his hand on the inside of Regina’s thigh and pressed outward.
Lara’s breath caught in her throat as Regina’s legs started to part. “So that’s what the split is for,” she whispered.
“It’s ingenious,” Colby whispered, his breath brushing her skin. “David released the pin that holds the legs closed. Now he can position her anyway he likes.”
A tremor went through Lara’s body. She kept her gaze on the couple. Within just a few minutes, Regina’s legs were tied to the chair. Lara squirmed on the pillow.
“Your skin is flushed. Is that from my touch or from what you’re seeing?” Colby asked.
“Both, Sir.” It was from both. Maybe a little bit more from his touch than what she was seeing. But both were arousing. As was the way he paid so much attention to her reactions.
“I’ll have to see what I can do about that.” His fingers moved to the laces in the front of the halter. “I’m going to unlace your top now.”
Her mouth went dry. She nodded and waited.
“Words, sweetheart.”
Swallowing, Lara wet her lips. “Yes, I understand, Sir. You’re going to undo my top.” Her heart sped up. Trust him.
Colby released the bow at the bottom of the leather and gently loosened the fabric.
Lara could barely breathe as he loosened the top. Colby was careful as he removed the laces from the front. When he had the tie in his hand, he carefully rolled it up and teased the skin between her breasts with it.
“Hold on to this for me, sweetheart.” He put the tie in her hand, and Lara closed her fingers around it.
While the top was loose, it still covered her breasts. She almost let out a sigh of relief, then Colby’s hands slipped between the fabric and her skin. She couldn’t help the small moan that left her lips as he cupped her breasts.
“So soft, perfect for my hands,” he whispered.
She squirmed with heat and desire.
He adjusted his hands, and his thumbs brushed over her nipples. They hardened into tight peaks.
“Is that for me?” There was laughter in his voice.
Lara’s lashes fell.
“Oh no, my sweet.” He pinched her right nipple. “Keep those eyes open and watch what is happening in the scene.”
Lara forced her eyes open to see that David was using the ropes on Regina’s breasts. A quiver went up her spine. “That has to hurt, Sir.”
David had the ropes above and below Regina’s breast, constricting them between the ropes.
“Look at her face; does she look like she’s in pain?”
Lara forced her gaze to Regina’s face. Regina’s lips were parted, and her breathing was a little choppy. But her eyes were alight with excitement and maybe pleasure.
“No, Sir. She looks like she’s enjoying it.”
“Very good. Regina enjoys being bound, no matter how it’s done. But keep watching because David is not through with her yet.”
Lara tried to control her breathing as she continued to watch David bind Regina. When he was done, he’d created a very interesting work of art. What Lara didn’t understand was why he’d made Regina wear what looked like a rope bikini around her crotch.
David stroked Regina’s skin and spoke softly to her. Lara couldn’t hear the words, but she saw Regina’s lips moving and the slight smile that curved her lips.
“Sir?” Lara said.
“What is it, my sweet?” His fingers toyed with her nipples, keeping them hard and wanting. Wanting more.
“Why do I feel like David is up to something, Sir?”
“Very perceptive you are.” He kissed her cheek. “Just keep watching. Plus, have you noticed how David touches Regina. She has a safe word, and if he goes too far, she’ll say it, and he’ll stop.”
“I remember the discussion about safe words, Sir.” She’d never heard anyone use one. Even when she thought they should.
“Keep your gaze on Regina. See how her body is flushed. That’s one sign David is on the right track. Her breathing would be another. But there are other subtle hints. The way her fingers curl into her palms and then release. The slight shifting of her body in the chair and whether her eyes widen or narrow.”
Lara’s gaze took in each of those places as Colby talked. Yes, he was right. “Is it always like that, Sir?”
“Depends on the sub. For example…” He pinched her left nipple, and she jumped. “You jumped, but tell me: What else are you feeling?”
“Heat and a zing. It’s the best way I can describe it, from my nipple to my clit, Sir.”
“I felt you jump, but what I see is the flushing of your skin and you biting into your lower lip as if you were stopping yourself from crying out.”
Lara leaned her head back and gazed up at Colby. “I did, Sir?”
“Yes and I can understand why you did it here in the club. But when we’re alone, I want to hear everything.”
A squeal from the stage captured Lara attention. Regina was squirming in the chair with David standing next to it, a wide grin plastered on his face.
“I believe I missed something, Sir.”
“You did, sweetheart.” Colby’s fingers slid down to Lara’s abdomen. “Earlier when you asked if David was up to something, you were correct. You see, he’s placed a vibrating bullet inside the rope bikini he made for Regina.”
His fingers toyed with the top of her leather skirt.
Lara kept her gaze on Regina, trying not to squirm beneath Colby’s touch. When Colby’s finger slipped beneath the waistband of the skirt, Lara tensed. “Ummmm, Sir. Ah, yellow, Sir.”
Colby’s fingers stilled. “What is it, sweetheart? Am I moving too fast?”
“Yes… No… I don’t think I’m ready for that level of play in public yet, Sir.” Her body protested at her words, but she wasn’t ready for this level of play. She was barely tolerating the exposure of her breasts.
“I understand.” His fingers moved back to her abdomen. “I want you to do something.”
“What is that, Sir?”
“I want you to look down and tell me what you see.”
Lara’s breath caught in her throat. She could do this. She tilted her head down. Her breath whooshed out of her. Even though Colby had untied the front of the halter top it still covered her breasts; nothing was really exposed except the skin between her breasts.
“I… You made sure I was covered even though you were playing with my breasts, Sir.”
“Correct. This is your first full night, and I want you to feel comfortable. I’m aware that exposing you on the first night would not be a good idea. Trust goes both ways.”
He was right. “I trust you, Sir.” She did, or she wouldn’t be in the club with him, but doing this was deepening that trust.
“Sir! I need to come, Sir,” Regina yelled, pulling Lara’s attention back to the stage.
Regina’s head was moving from side to side, her fingers curled into her hands and her legs were shaking.
“Please, Sir,” Regina said.
David put his hand on Regina’s head. “Come for me. You have my permission.”
Regina let out a cry.
“Is it standard protocol, Sir, for a sub to ask for permission to orgasm?” Lara was confused. She didn’t remember reading about that. She remembered club protocol about how to address Doms and subs, but nothing about this.
“Depends on the couple. David likes his subs to ask for permission, and Regina is well aware of it.”
“Will you make me ask for permission, Sir?” Lara tilted her head so she could see Colby’s face.
“Maybe, but only when I want to push your boundaries. For me, pleasure is the name of the game. Your pleasure gives me pleasure.” Colby
’s arms tightened around her. “Now, look back at the stage and tell me what you see.”
Lara’s gaze returned to the stage, and her heart jumped a beat. “Regina’s head is bent, and David is quietly speaking to her while he’s undoing the ropes on her arms. He’s rubbing her arms as he talks. Regina looks…like she’s, I don’t know quite the word, like maybe her thoughts are far away from where she is.”
“Very close. She’s on the edge of subspace.”
“I’ve read about that.”
“Some subs reach it very easily, and for others, it takes more time. Others never reach it.”
Lara continued to watch as David untied Regina. When he was done, he grabbed the blanket, wrapped it around her, and carried her off the stage to a sofa. David said something to Jordan, who nodded. David then went back on the stage and began cleaning up.
“Bend forward again, sweetheart.”
Lara did as he asked, and Colby swung his leg over her, then stood up and stretched.
Her mouth watered as his t-shirt molded to his chest and arms. The man was built. Not overly muscular, but enough he could stop women in their tracks. Her included.
“Let me help you up.” Lara bent her knees and put her hands in Colby’s. He pulled her up. Lara stumbled into Colby, and he steadied her.
“Easy.” He held her close until her legs could hold her up. “Let’s go sit over in the quiet area and talk.” Colby took her hand and led her over past Regina, who was now being held by David, to an overstuffed set of chairs.
Once they got to the chairs, Colby sat down while still holding onto her hand. “Would you please sit on my lap?”
His soft question caused Lara to pause. Then, without questioning herself, she nodded and allowed Colby to pull her down until she was seated on his lap. His wide smile made her body tingle with pleasure.
“So how did you like watching that scene?” Colby asked.
Lara thought for a moment. “It was different than I thought, but also very nice.” She shrugged. “I don’t know how to explain it.”
“It will get easier, but first things first. Protocol in the club with your Dom.”
“Oh, crap. Sorry, Sir.” She needed to remember to tack on the sir. She hadn’t had a Dom so fully into the lifestyle before.
