Later that morning, she kissed Lunn bye and relocked the door. He was on his way to meet a client. The house was empty because Gaven had gone to the pub an hour ago. To her old room she went. With a length of rope in her hand, she sat on the bed and tied her feet together.
“Powers that be, set me free,” she murmured. The ropes didn’t move at all. No tingles, not a thing.
Volker walked into the room and bounded onto the bed.
She looked up to the ceiling and raised her arms, thinking she needed the extra help. “The powers that surround me, set me free,” she murmured. A brief feeling of floating came over her, but that ended soon. The ropes didn’t come undone. Damn, that was the wrong kind of freedom, and it hadn’t lasted long.
“I’m afraid you’ve watched too many actors mumbling spells. Forget what you’ve seen on TV. Speak clearly, my pet. It’s more about the power within you and the way you say the words than anything else.” He swished his tail around and patted her on the hand with it. “Listen to your inner witch. Let her guide you.”
That made sense. She cleared her mind and then searched for the witch within her. A spark ignited in her chest and raced through every nerve in her body. Power surged under her skin. She felt stronger and more confident than she ever had in her life.
Looking at her tied feet, she firmly said, “Power that comes from deep within, untie this knot that’s got me caught. Set me free, powers that be.”
A squee of happiness burst from her when she felt a tingle in her feet and the rope suddenly came to life and untied itself and then dropped to the bed.
“Did you see that, Volker? I did it.” Excitement was humming in her veins.
“I sure did. You did a great job, my pet.” Volker circled her, rubbing up against her body with his soft, warm fur. He purred loud enough for her to hear and feel the vibrations. “I can sense the magic in you. You’re getting stronger and catching on quickly.”
“Why thank you, sir. You’re a good teacher.” She ran her hand along his back and laughed happily. “I did it!”
A loud meow sounded from outside, and Volker leapt to the window and looked out. He grunted and twitched his whiskers. “She’s back. You might as well let me out now before I get antsy and cranky. It’s a shame you live near a neighbor that has a greedy pussy.”
She walked over to the window and opened it. “In thirty years you can go back to being a choosy lover. For now, try to enjoy it.”
He hissed and jumped out the window.
She wondered if he’d learned his lesson. The next time he was around powerful beings, she hoped he controlled his wicked tongue.

Katarina saw her father on the porch waiting for them. Once the truck stopped, she hurried over to him.
“Are you all right, papa?” Concern flavored her tone. She’d been worried about him ever since he’d texted. Something in his message unsettled her.
“Yes, little flower. I just wanted to tell you something and see how things were going for you.” Rico glanced at Gaven and Lunn then back at Katarina. He leaned in near her ear and whispered, “Are you seeing both of them?”
She glanced back at her guys and then back at her papa. “Yes, I love them both.”
Rico smiled. “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.”
“Huh?” Katarina questioned.
“Your mother and I had a third. He’s my best friend, Juan. You may remember him.”
“Yes, but I thought he was just a family friend.” Shock and relief were having a battle in her belly.
“Let’s go in the house.” Rico led them to the living room where he had drinks and snacks on the coffee table.
Once they were seated on the couch with her between Lunn and Gaven, Rico sat in a chair across from them.
Her papa cleared his throat. “How have you boys been?”
“Fine,” Lunn said.
“Great,” Gaven said at the same time.
Katarina thought they looked a little ill to her. Who knew if it was from having to be in the same room as her papa after they’d made love to her, or from the knowledge that Rico was into threesomes. She was having trouble digesting the last part herself. Not that she was against threesomes in any way. Hell, she loved being in one. She was just surprised that her papa had been in one and she hadn’t known.
“Juan was and still is a family friend. After your mother…passed, he stayed with us until I could stand on my own again. When he was offered his dream job, he had to leave. We’ve talked almost daily since then.”
Rico looked at Gaven and then Lunn. “Do you both love my daughter?”
Lunn immediately stated, “Yes, sir.”
Gaven wiped his sweaty palms down his jean-covered thighs.
“You don’t have to answer, Gaven,” she said softly. In her heart she knew he loved her. She turned and stared at Rico. “Papa.” She frowned at him, hoping he’d see how frustrated she was with him.
“It’s all right.” Gaven laced his fingers through hers. “I have strong feelings for your daughter, but I don’t believe I’m the marrying kind.”
“I can see you both have strong feelings for my daughter, but I’ve known this for many years. A man’s eyes always give them away.” He cleared his throat and then leaned forward in his chair. “You are both honest men. What more can a father want for his daughter? I approve of your relationship. I just ask that you watch over my daughter and always think of her feelings before you do anything major,” Rico said.
“We will,” Gaven said, and Lunn nodded his agreement.
“I have some news I must tell you all. I just sold the building Rico’s was in, and I am moving in with Juan and Maria. I’ve visited them a few times over the past year, and with you settled, it’s time for me to move on,” her papa said.
“I’m shocked, but happy for you, papa. You deserve to be happy. When do I get to meet Maria? Is she nice?” Katarina asked.
Rico laughed. “Yes, she’s nice, little flower. Once I’m settled, we’ll invite you three to come visit for a weekend.”
She leaped up, and Rico stood and hugged her. “I’m so happy for you, papa.” Katarina really was happy for him. He’d been alone for way too long.
“I’m happy for you as well. Keep ’em in line, little flower.”
She hoped they’d let her do just that. She didn’t know what she’d do without her guys.

Gaven had been relieved when Rico had blessed their relationship. As a small celebration, he and Lunn planned on making love to Katarina in Lunn’s luxurious bathroom. At this moment, he was lighting candles in the spa-like room and Lunn was guiding a blindfolded Katarina to the bathroom.
“What are you two up to?” she asked. “You know I can feel a mixture of mischief and lust coming off you?”
“I know. You’ll find out soon enough what we’re up to,” Lunn answered.
In the bathroom, they slowly stripped off her shirt and jeans. As they admired her they quickly undressed and tossed their clothes aside.
“You look good enough to eat. This delicate black lace bra and panty set would be easy to taste you through. Don’t you think so, Gaven?”
“Oh yeah, easy.”
“Spread your legs, sweetie,” Lunn said softly. Katarina widen her stance, but not far enough. “More.” She inched her feet farther apart. “A little more.” Her right foot slid out another six inches. “Perfect. Gaven, would like to do the honors?” Lunn gestured toward the junction of her thighs.
“Gladly.” He knelt between her thighs and rubbed the backs of her legs. Candlelight danced across her skin. It was a stunning site.
Stepping closer, Lunn caressed her shoulders as he sucked a lace-covered nipple into his mouth. A groan whispered past her lips.
Needing to taste her, he kissed a path from her bellybutton to her the V of her legs. Moving his hands up her body, Gaven grabbed her butt and pulled her in closer as he buried his nose in her lace-covered mound and took a deep breath. “D
amn, you smell good, babe.” Gripping her rounded cheeks more firmly, he darted his tongue out and groaned when he tasted her essence on her sexy panties.
Looking up, he saw that Lunn was massaging both of her breasts as he kissed her. Their passion and desire was circulating through his body and Gaven knew they could feel his as well. His cock jumped, begging to get inside her.
They continued to caress and kiss her until he feared her legs were about to buckle. As he stood, Gaven ran his aching cock up her leg, and then rubbed the head against her wet slit before taking a step back. “I think it’s time to move this party to the next level. What do you think, Lunn?”
“I’m more than ready, and we both know Katarina needs to get horizontal.”
“Can I take the blindfold off now? I’d really like to look at you two. I love your naked bodies.” Her voice was low and sensual. She moved her hands up and Lunn quickly caught them.
“Oh no, this is staying on, little kitten. I want all your other senses to be on high alert. That way even a faint breath will make you shiver.” Lunn blow a puff of air onto her damp nipple and she shivered enticingly. Lunn helped her into the tub and led her to the smooth stone ledge and helped her lie down.
Lunn kissed her luscious lips while he cuffed her wrists overhead to a loop set in the stone ledge. The two of them had seen a similar set up in the Cortinos’ New York hotel. Lunn had modified his version of the bathroom to allow for plenty of bondage play. The man was fascinated with tying up and torturing his lovers until they had a tornadic climax. With Katarina, he was developing that same fascination. He watched as Lunn kissed his way to her thighs, which he proceeded to spread and cuff wide apart. Fuck that was hot. Her pretty pussy lips were now open and ready for lots of sweet loving.
“Lunn?” she question softly.
“Don’t worry. We’re not going to hurt you. We never will. Trust us. We just want you to experience something new.” He cuffed one of her ankles to the wall and the other to the edge of the stone ledge. With a twist of his hand, he turned on the water. Sparkling liquid flowed from a smaller five-inch-long stone spout a good four feet up the wall and caressed her sweet pussy. She sucked in a sharp breath then writhed and groaned.
“I thought the waterfall was a low back massager.” Her words were separated by panting breaths. Hot damn, he loved it when she was this turned on.
“It can be, but right now it’s a teaser.”
The water continued to trickle down, caressing her most delicate flesh. She moaned and rocked her hips seeking relief.
“Such a beautiful sight,” Lunn murmured right before he cut the water off. They watched her body come down for a minute, and then Lunn turned the water back on.
Gaven started running his hands over and around her breasts. He loved the feel of her silky flesh, loved turning her on. The peaks pebbled, and he longed to taste them. She gasped and tightened her muscles on the verge of an orgasm. Lunn turned off the water, and she grumbled something that sounded suspiciously like “asshole.”
He chuckled and leaned over her to suckle one taut peak. She squirmed as he nibbled on her nipple then licked the slight sting away. Kissing his way to her other luscious peak, he flicked it with his tongue several times and then circled it repeatedly. A low moan vibrated through her chest. He slid his wet tongue around her nipple one more time then sucked it into his mouth. A glance at Lunn proved he was still stroking and kissing her inner thighs.
“Please.” Her voice was no more than a breathy moan.
Lunn turned the water off and then said, “Get Gaven off, and I’ll reward you.”
After placing his hard cock in her hands, Gaven leaned forward again and continued sucking and licking the flushed tips of her breasts. Her cuffed hands gently gripped his cock. “Harder, babe.” He groaned and buried his face between her deliciously rounded globes when she tightened her grip and started stroking up and down his length. The softness of her small hands felt so good on his shaft.
Lunn turned the water back on, but quickly had to shut it off when she looked like she was about to come.
“Let me taste you, Gaven. Please,” she whimpered.
God he loved the lusty feelings she was projecting. They swirled through him and caressed his groin lovingly. Moving, he straddled her pretty face and slid his tip into her open mouth. She snapped her lips closed, and sucked him deeply into her mouth. He wished he could look into her beautiful eyes, but the blindfold totally covered them up. It heightened her other senses, though, which made her pleasure greater.
Looking over his shoulder, Gaven saw that Lunn was caressing her hips, he watched as his friend rubbed his cock against her silky thigh. Lunn’s pre-cum left a trail on her flesh.
Sucking noises echoed through the room. Turning back around, he watched as she lapped and teased his hard dick until he was mewling and quivering. In and out his crown went. Her pink tongue laved his cock erotically. A moan escaped her lips, and she suddenly raised her head and swallowed as much of his length as she could.
Gaven shuddered when his balls tightened. She sucked harder causing fireworks to go off in his drawn-up sac. He cried out as his load shot from his throbbing dick. The sight of her sucking him sent more ripples of pleasure through his body. They were both quivering, he from the satisfaction pulsing through his big body and Katarina from pure need. Gaven pulled out of her mouth and went back to his position at her head. He leaned down and whispered into her ear as Lunn turned the water back on.
The man quickly lined up his cock with her pink entrance and plunged in. He held her hips tight and leaned back as he rocked his hips back and forth. The water hit her clit, and his cock filled her sweet sheath to capacity.
It took only a few hard thrusts, and she screamed her pleasure. Gaven knew her inner muscles were milking Lunn’s hard cock. He could easily envision his friend’s seed rushing up from his balls and rocketing into her quivering body.
Lunn fell forward and rested his weight on his forearms. He panted into her left ear as Gaven whispered into her right ear.
The water ran down their hips and splashed into the tub below. When Lunn was able to move, he turned the water off and released her ankles and thighs while Gaven removed her blindfold. When he went to release her wrists, Katarina stopped him.
“Wait. Don’t uncuff my hands. I got this.”
He watched with pride as she got ready to release herself.
In a clear, controlled voice, she said, “Power that comes from deep within, release these cuffs that have me bound. Set my hands free, powers that be.”
To his amazement the cuffs started moving, and in no time the buckle was undone. She had freed herself!
“That was awesome, babe. I’m so proud of you.” His voice reflected how awed he was by her achievement.
“Me, too, kitten. You keep practicing and one day you’ll be the best enchantress your family’s ever had.”
Her bright smile warmed his heart. She was so beautiful when she smiled like that. Goosebumps started dotting her arms. “You’re getting cold. Let’s soak in the tub and get you warmed up, babe.”
“Oh, the candlelight is so pretty. I could easily relax in here for a long time,” Katarina said as she watched the reflection of the flames dance off everything in the room.
After they settled themselves in the bathtub, Lunn turned the water back on, and they all let the warm water sink them deeper into serenity’s pleasurable embrace.
Chapter Thirteen
“How’s this room working as an office?” Lunn asked Gaven.
“Fine. I came across something interesting in the photos a few days ago. Joe is sending me a list I need. It should be in my email by now. Today I’m going to look at the pics again and compare the lists. This guy has to be stopped.” Gaven turned on the computer and printer. “You and Katarina busy today?”
Lunn’s phone started ringing. “Yeah, we’ve got a few things to do today. Good luck finding the killer. I know you can do it. I’ll see you la
ter.”
He watched Lunn answer his phone as he walked out of the bedroom-turned-office. This room had worked out well. The bed made a great table. As the computer warmed up, he went to the bed and spread out the pictures. He blocked out the women as best he could and focused on the things around them instead. There were dolls for sure, but the only other thing they had in common were cameras. Each one had a camera either for security or on her computer.
If his hunch was correct, there was a chance the killer wasn’t in the doll industry at all. A glance at the computer proved it was ready. Going over to it, Gaven pulled up his email account. He grinned when he found the message from Joe. After opening it, he printed the file attached to it. Joe had come through big time. The man had sent the employee records for seven companies, four that were security based, and three that provided internet access.
Three of the victims had home security systems, all with different companies, of course. They all had internet service, and all of their computers had webcams.
It took several hours, but it was time well spent. His search revealed three men who could be the killer.
Albert Day had worked for all four of the security companies. The last company had fired him for being caught drunk on the job, twice. There was a possibility that Albert was an alcoholic, but that didn’t stop him from being capable of killing. Not every drunk was a happy one. The man hadn’t worked for any of the internet providers. That didn’t mean he hadn’t hacked into the last victim’s computer, though.
Gerald Bantell had worked for all of the security companies and two of the internet providers. His records revealed that he was a hard-working and smart employee. One of his supervisors had added that Gerald was a bit of a loner. Not good boss material.
Myron Rockwell had worked for two of the security companies, and one of the internet providers. One of the companies had reprimanded him for fighting with a coworker. That he was willing to fight made him a good candidate, but it didn’t seal the deal.
Needing to share his information, Gaven called Joe. By the end of the call, Gaven was gritting his teeth. Joe had made him promise not to approach any of the men on his list. Things would go faster if he could, but he knew this wasn’t legally his case. All he could do was wait while Joe handled it.
