“This lesson is about you letting go and latching on to pleasure.” Reed’s big hands slid up and down my sides, causing a spark to zip through my body. I trembled, feeling my skin tingle.
Though filled with both confusion and excitement, I somehow found the tiniest speck of hesitation still inside me to latch on to. “We should talk about this first, don’t you think?”
“I told you that I’m better showing than telling.” His voice vibrated deep in his chest, shaking me to my core. “What state are you in?”
“Good...I mean green, or maybe yellow. No, I believe I’m green, Sir. But seriously, I think this is the wrong thing to do.”
“Either you’re green or you’re not.” His fingertips skimmed my body like feathers, lighting up my skin like fireworks on a Fourth of July night. “Which is it?”
I sighed, giving in to my surrender to him. “Green, Sir. I’m definitely green.”
“Follow our protocols, little sub.” His self-confidence spoke to me on so many levels. He wasn’t asking to come to my bed; he was demanding it. “Don’t get sidetracked. Understand?”
“Yes, Sir,” I said, vowing that this would have to be the last time with him. One night of utter ecstasy was all I could hope for. After tonight, no more. Since I was going to sample his wicked pleasures once more, I asked, “Are you going to do what you did to me on my first lesson?”
“Yes and no.”
“I’m not sure I understand,” I admitted.
“I’m going to spank you for not answering my calls or returning my texts. Unlike the lesson, your spanking will be for punishment.”
“I’m sorry, Sir. I really am.”
He kissed me tenderly. “I know you are, but you’re still unsure about what to do with me, with Kane, with all of it. I’m going to help you through that. But first, you need to take your thirty slaps to that pretty ass. Roll over, Lea.”
I gulped. “Thirty? My ass is still sore from my two lessons at The Cell. Please, Sir. I-I am really sorry.”
“Keep giving me lip, sub, and I’ll make it forty. Understand?”
“Okay. Yes, Sir.” I rolled over on my stomach and braced myself for the punishment to come.
Reed took the tie of my robe and wrapped my wrists together with it. Then he took the remaining part of the tie and fastened it to one of my bedposts. “This will keep you secure. You have another robe in your closet, Pet?”
Trembling, I nodded.
He went to my closet and came back with my pale blue silk robe. Using its tie to restrain my legs, he wrapped it around my ankles and hooked it up to another bedpost. “Perfect.”
I could bend my knees and elbows slightly but didn’t have any real range of motion left to me save to writhe and thrash.
Reed’s hand came down on my ass with a crack, and a hot sting spread over my flesh. With the pain came an equal dose of desire, too.
He leaned down and whispered in my ear, “When I call, sub, you will answer. When I text, you will text me back.”
Slap. Whimpering, I felt myself stiffen. How could I take his calls or texts? This had to be the end. There was no other alternative.
Slap. Slap. Slap. I tugged on my ties, chewing on my lower lip.
The more his hand rained down on my ass, the closer I came to that sweet subspace he and Kane had introduced me to. As the heat seared my backside, I began to sob, slipping into a trance, releasing all my worries and fears, if only for this moment. I floated in the expanse, relishing the sensations firing in my body. The stings were morphing into pleasure fast, and I loved every second of it. I’d been counting his spanks, but lost track sometime after his tenth smack to my ass.
“That’s my girl. Ride this out, baby.” His hand hit my ass again and again, and I melted into each and every one of them.
“That was thirty, sub.” He cupped my ass with one hand and fingered my pussy with the other. Heat flamed through me. “You’re soaked, pet.”
I felt hot blood fill my cheeks.
“I’m going to enjoy lapping up your sweet cream, baby.” He unfastened the ties from my bedposts. “Roll over on your back.”
Unable to refuse him, I obeyed.
Then he refastened the ties back to the posts, restraining me once again. “That’ll hold you, pet.” Reed leaned over and kissed me on the neck, sending several shivers through my body.
His next kiss landed on my mouth, sending its message of possession to me loud and clear. I clenched and unclenched my fists, mirroring what was happing deep inside me.
He moved down my body until his thick lips feathered my chest, causing me to get even wetter. When he swallowed one of my nipples and pinched the other one, I panted. I was a livewire of feminine sensations. He licked and sucked on my tips until they were throbbing and elongated. I was unable to hold back my passionate moans.
Reed kissed my stomach softly, causing gooseflesh to pop up there. When his tongue circled my navel, I actually thought I might go insane.
When I felt his lips on my clit, I held my breath. Sure, he’d spanked me the other night, but having his face right next to my sex was overwhelming me to the max.
“God, this is the prettiest cunt I’ve ever seen.” I felt his hands on my thighs and began whimpering uncontrollably.
I needed him to touch me, to take away some of my suffering. If he didn’t soon, I wasn’t sure how I would survive. “Please, Sir. I can’t take much more.”
“You’ve earned your reward, pet.” She heard him inhale deeply. “God, Lea, I love your scent. You smell like strawberries and morning mist.”
Even the way he talked about me was increasing my cravings. I needed relief in the worst way, but all I could do tied to the bedposts was fist my sheets and scream. When his tongue slid through my weeping sex, I did both.
“Such sweet pussy cream,” he muttered, licking me into oblivion.
His oral lesson went on and on for some time, until I was certain I would pass out soon from the sheer volume of my need. His hands slid up my thighs, spreading me wider. His tongue shot down into my channel, and one of his fingers pressed with the perfect pressure on my clit. My entire body stiffened, and my half breaths came fast and furious. I was nearing release.
Reed stood and stripped off his clothes. I gasped when I looked at his thick, erect cock. Unable to take my eyes from him, I watched him don a condom on his shaft.
He looked like a predator about to pounce. “Time to fill your tight, pretty cunt with my dick, sweetheart.”
He crawled on top of me and thrust his cock into my pussy, stretching my insides to the limit. The friction of his shaft against my G-spot got me even closer to falling over the edge.
His thrusts were deep and slow, enhancing my trembles. In and out. Over and over. Again and again. So many sensations were stacking up inside me with each of Reed’s plunges into my pussy, begging for satisfaction. I was mad for release.
“Come for me, sub.” He reached between our bodies, sending his fingertips to my clit. Then he rubbed the sensitive bundle fast and hard, continuing to plunge his dick into my pussy
I screamed as my insides burst into flames, rising higher and higher. Every cell sparked to life in me. As spasms shook me from head to toe, I couldn’t stay still no matter how hard I tried. Instinctively, I squeezed my pussy around his dick. My back arched off the mattress, and I screamed again.
“Yes. Yes. Yes.” Reed growled low, sounding like a man at the end of his rope about to be swamped by an unstoppable flood.
Then I felt his cock jerk violently inside me. Knowing he was coming, I clenched my pussy as hard as I could around his dick.
“Fuuuck!” he yelled, succumbing to his climax and covering my body with his own.
His weight was holding me in place more than the ties on my wrists and ankles were. Still, I loved the feeling of him on top of me.
I was still trembling from my own orgasm when Reed rolled off of me and removed my restraints. Then he shifted to his side, pulling my back in
to his front until we were locked together in a tight spoon.
Even in my muddled state, one question shot to the forefront of my consciousness.
What the hell have I done?
I should have avoided Reed at all cost, hunkering down quietly behind my door at his earlier insistent pounding for me to open up for him. Now, I was in so deep I would never make it back to the surface for a breath.
Reed whispered in my ear. “Where are you, Lea? You seem miles away,”
“This is all just... I’m not sure...” I sighed, feeling the heaviness in my heart. “I don’t know what to say.”
“Try, love.”
“Like that.” Tears welled up in my eyes as my mind brought up an image of Kane in his full-on Dom attire.
“Like what?”
“When you call me ‘love’ or ‘pet’ it confuses me.”
“I don’t understand.”
“Of course you don’t. How could you? It’s me. I’m the one who is fucked up.” I tried to get free of his hold but couldn’t as he tightened his grip on me.
“Lea, you’re not fucked up. You’re incredible. I’ve never been with anyone like you. You’re brave, smart, sexy, and so much more.”
I sobbed. “Please. Don’t say anything else. I can’t take it.”
“I came here to say something to you, and by damn I’m going to say it. Face me,” he ordered.
I twisted around to him. We were so close that I could feel his breath on my face. His eyes were unblinking from the clear gravity of what he was about to tell me.
“Now listen to me. It’s crazy, I know. We’ve only known each other for a couple of days, but that doesn’t change the fact that in that short time, you’ve been all I can think about. I’m sorry about missing your second lesson. I fucked up.”
“Kane told me about your dog. You had to deal with that.”
“Maybe so, but I should have called you and cancelled the lesson. Instead, I asked Kane to take over. Tell me the truth, Lea. Did he fuck you?”
I closed my eyes, fearing the worst.
“Answer me, pet. Please.”
“Yes, Reed. Your brother and I had sex.”
“Kane’s an asshole. Damn it.”
I opened my eyes and kissed Reed, hoping to soften his rage. “He’s not an asshole, and neither are you. You want the truth? Here it is. I’ve fallen for both of you. Maybe it’s only a rebound from my ex, or maybe it’s something more. But I can’t continue down this path any longer. I just can’t.”
“Shh, Lea. Listen to me.”
I had to make him understand. “No. This isn’t a scene. This is real life. Please, Reed. You’ve shown me so much. I will be forever grateful to you and Kane for that.”
“Lea, I think I’m falling for you.” Reed’s admission melted my insides.
My own new feelings for him could easily latch onto his words, but I knew that would only end in disaster. Even if Kane didn’t feel the same for me as Reed, I definitely felt the same for him as I did his twin.
“That means a lot to me, Reed, but it can’t be. No doubt about it, I already care for you, too. You think you are falling in love with me, and maybe if we could continue with whatever this is, our feelings for each other might actually turn into something real.”
“Exactly.” Under his confident surface, I saw a panic that mirrored my own. “Give us a chance, Lea.”
I shook my head. “I can’t. This isn’t just about you and me.”
“Do you mean Kane?” His face darkened.
“Yes. I have feelings for him, too. So, you see, this can never be.”
“Why not? Spend more time with me and you’ll see I’m the one for you, not him. Hell, spend more time with Kane and you’ll see he’s not someone who you’d ever want to build a life with.”
“Stop it, Reed. This is hard enough for me.” Tears streamed down my cheeks. “Even if I could find it in my heart to choose one of you, can you imagine what that would do to you and Kane? It would rip you two apart. Don’t even try to deny it. I tell you I care about him and you start telling me why it would never work. I’m not going to do this any longer.”
“Lea, you’re not responsible for how Kane and I deal with each other.”
I left the bed and put on my robe. “I can’t choose between you and Kane. It’s just not possible. Please, Reed. I’m dying inside right now.”
“Let’s talk this out, baby.”
“You told me you weren’t much of a talker. Right now, neither am I. You need to go. Your five minutes is up.”
“Okay, Lea. But I need to apply some cream to your ass.”
“No,” I said harshly. Softening my tone, I continued, “I can take care of that myself.”
“Sure, sweetheart. I’ll go now. But I’m not giving up on us. You’ll see. Believe me.”
I wanted to believe him more than anything, but I knew things for me would end badly no matter how much I wished for something different.
As he dressed, I vowed to myself that no matter how hard the brothers tried to get me to see them, I would refuse. There would be no more nights at The Cell and no more nights with the two men who had captured all of me. My heart might not survive my new vow, but I wasn’t about to come between Reed and Kane. Ever.
Feb 13th
Ever since Reed left last night, I’ve been an utter mess. I haven’t been able to sleep or eat or anything.
Did I make a mistake pushing him away? No. It was the right thing to do, but it fucking hurts so much.
****
My cell phone exploded this morning.
Six more texts and two voicemails from Kane are waiting for me to read and listen to. I can’t face his words. Reed has called three times but hasn’t left any messages.
Daniel, my only brother and the eldest of my siblings and me, is great for any legal and financial questions, but for things of the heart, I know the experts are my sisters, Ella and Amy. Needing female confidants to talk this out with, I’ve called both of them. I’d thought about calling Mia, but wondered if she might be too close to the situation to be able to really listen. And though Misty, Mia’s sister, and I are really close, of all of us, she’s the most uptight. I am in no condition to hear recriminations from her.
Hell, I know I screwed everything up.
I’m not actually looking for answers. I just need some friendly shoulders to cry on.
****
Ella and Amy sat on either side of me, wrapping their arms around my body as I sobbed and sobbed. I was still in my robe, my hair looking Medusa-ish. I was quite a contrast to my sisters.
Ella wore a navy blue business suit and designer heels. Her blonde hair looked amazing in the new bob cut that reminded me of Victoria Beckham’s. Amy’s hair was blonde with bright pink highlights. Her flowing pale yellow dress and matching sandals mirrored her always sunny attitude. Sure they were on opposite sides of the fashion wheel, but they both were stunning in their own right.
It took a while for me to tell them the whole story about Reed and Kane, but they didn’t push me, letting me take all the time I needed. When I was done, I felt like I’d run an emotional marathon. I was completely wrung out.
“Sweetie, this is likely a rebound.” Ella squeezed my hand. “Jerry just broke up with you.”
If only that were true. “I thought it might be, sis, but it feels so much deeper than anything I ever had with Jerry. I did love him, but it wasn’t anything like this. It was safe and comfortable.”
“Sounds like the phone call you and I had last summer about your sex life with Jerry—safe and comfortable.” Amy never held back. She was an open book and never understood why everyone else wasn’t. “Right, Lea?”
“Yes. Boring.”
“No wonder you’re smitten with Reed and Kane.” Amy smiled. “They sound exciting and dangerous. Bad boys are every girl’s fantasy.”
“I’m not just smitten. I know it sounds crazy, but I’ve already fallen head over heels for them.”
&n
bsp; Ella sighed. “Scratch my rebound theory. Sweetie, are you sure you aren’t more into one or the other? It would make things much simpler for you.”
“I like where you’re going with this, Ella.” Amy brightened. “Team Reed or Team Kane. Which is it, Lea?”
“Both. Don’t you get it? I care about both of them. I could never choose. Ever.”
A knock on the door startled all of us.
Amy jumped up before I could stop her. “I hope it’s one of your guys, Lea. Or maybe both of them.”
I couldn’t face them now. “Don’t answer the door.”
Just like when we were kids, Amy totally disregarded my directions and opened the door.
Thankfully, the people standing in the doorway weren’t Reed or Kane. Instead, Mia and Misty walked in, their faces full of concern.
I smiled weakly. “If I knew we were going to have a party, I would’ve dressed.”
Misty came and sat beside me in the spot that Amy had just vacated. “Honey, I came as soon as Amy called.”
I glared at my youngest sister. “You’re going to pay.”
She shrugged. “I’m sorry, sis, but this is hard. I knew you needed all of us.”
“You didn’t call Daniel, too?”
Amy grinned broadly. “Love our big brother, but no. This is way out of his league.”
Mia stood in front of me. “I feel responsible for all of this, Lea. I’m so sorry.”
Mia had been so happy since meeting Lex. I didn’t want her to feel bad. “You didn’t do this to me, sweetie. I went to your boyfriend’s club because I wanted to go. I’m a grown woman. This is all on me, not you.”
“How about I put on a pot of tea?” Misty asked.
“Screw that, girlfriend.” Amy walked into my kitchen, which was open to the living room. “This calls for adult beverages.” She opened a couple of cabinets. “Where’s your booze, sis?”
