Aaron stood and took the proffered hand, clearly using his superior height to look down and try to intimidate the younger man. Tait just stood silently. Why wasn’t Candy correcting him? He and Aaron had gone undercover as a couple before and were comfortable being naked together when they shared Candy, but he sure as hell didn’t want people at the resort to think they were gay. It would mean they wouldn’t have a reason to play with her at this amazing dungeon everyone was always babbling about. He glared some more while Aaron shook the little shit’s hand.
“Aaron, Aaron Day. I’m working with the landscaping crew. We’re together, but no, we’re not that kind of a couple, Leo.” Thank goodness Aaron was going to correct Leo’s assumption. “Tait is my submissive, not my boyfriend. We’re both straight, so we’ll be looking for a female submissive that we can both play with.”
“Interesting dynamic. Good luck with finding a sub to share. Well, nice to meet you. Candy, you still planning an early night or would you like me to give you a tour of the dungeon?”
“Oh, definitely a tour.” She looked at Tait and Aaron as she took Leo’s hand and tucked it into the crook of her arm. “I’m not ready to play yet, but I’d love to look around, if I’m not taking you away from something or someone.”
“Nope. No plans. Nothing I’d like better than to introduce a beautiful woman to the local dungeon.”
“You are so sweet. But only for an hour. I need my beauty sleep.”
“How could you be any more beautiful than you are, Candy? But I’ll respect your limits. An hour it is. I’ll deliver you to your door at”—he checked his watch—“one a.m. on the dot. Tait, Aaron, nice talking to you. Maybe we’ll see you at the pool tomorrow?”
* * * *
They watched as Candy and Leo walked away, arm in arm. Aaron winced at the sound of her happy laughter. He stood and turned to Aaron, who started chuckling softly. The stood in silence watching Candy and Leo walking arm in and until they disappeared into the building.
Aaron laughed.
“What’s so funny?” Tait was in no mood for laughter.
“It really does look like you wet yourself, you know.”
“Fuck you!”
“I’d rather fuck Candy.”
“Me too.”
“Yeah.”
For a moment they just stood there, identical expressions on their faces. Aaron broke the silence. “So, are you up for a little breaking and entering?”
“I thought you’d never ask.”
* * * *
Candy yawned. The tour had been interesting, but it would have been even better with Tait and Aaron. There was an amazing looking padded spanking bench that she knew she’d be dreaming about. But she couldn’t forget that she’d come here to bring their situation to a head. They came and went from her life. When they were there, she couldn’t think about anything else but them, but they always left again. Either they had to commit to sticking around or they had to leave her alone.
They’d come out here knowing that she was on the island, not for some make-believe assignment. Thank goodness Maggie had given her the heads-up or she’d have fallen for their story, hook, line and sinker. But that didn’t mean that they wanted to settle down with her. Hell, so far, they hadn’t given any indication that they were after anything more than sex. Although…they had gone to a lot of trouble to get to the island before her and had come up with that ludicrous cover story. Maybe they did care in some sort of warped way.
As Leo walked her back to her room in companionable silence, she considered her options. If she knew them at all, they’d be waiting for her in her room when she got back, and they’d be as jealous of hell of Leo, so they’d probably want to bang her brains out, which would be a lot of fun. On the other hand, nothing was resolved in their relationship. And on the other, other hand, she was mad at them. Furious, really, because they didn’t tell her about Noah right away.
But she’d had time to think about it while Leo showed her around. The danger was over in Satisfaction. No one was hurt. The bad guy was in jail. They should have told her and she’d extract a punishment in due time, but the question was what to do now?
Oh, hell. Why was she trying to lie to herself? She was hoping they were waiting for her and she couldn’t wait to get naked with them again. If she denied them, she’d be denying herself, too. Pausing at the door, she smiled at him, ready to turn down a pass, but he just smiled and kissed her cheek.
“They are in there, aren’t they?”
“I hope so.”
“Go and claim your men. But make them beg a bit. Don’t make it too easy for them.”
“Does everyone know about my man troubles?”
“Not everyone. But I saw you with them. I saw the love shining in their eyes. And in yours. Clearly they’ve done something to hurt you, but they came a long way to see you. Give them a chance. Love makes the world go around. Don’t throw it away over a single fight.
“But if they break your heart, remember that my shoulder’s on offer to cry on. Actually, all my body parts are at your disposal. You just have to ask. And JJ’s right. I’m a switch. I’ll be happy to beat your ass or let you beat mine.”
“You are so sweet, Leo. I’ve got high hopes, but if they break my heart, I’ll give you a call.”
“You do that. Now get in there and have some crazy monkey sex with your men.”
She kissed him lightly on the lips and as she turned back to the door, she saw the curtain twitch. They were watching. Spying on her from her own room. Pretending she didn’t see the curtain, she wrapped her arms around Leo.
“They’re watching. Play along.”
“With pleasure.”
He put his arms around her and turned her slightly. To anyone watching from the window, it would appear that they were locked in a passionate embrace, but their lips weren’t even touching. After ten seconds, he stood her back up.
“That should be long enough to get them worried. Good luck!”
“Thanks.”
She turned to the door and put in her key. She hadn’t even turned it when the door pulled open and she practically fell into the room.
“Don’t even think of bringing that boy toy in here with you!”
“What are you talking about, Tait?”
She watched Tait frown and then look out the door. Leo was well down the path, on his way back to his own room.
“Why’s he leaving?”
“Because he’s a sweetheart, but we aren’t involved.”
“So what was that on the porch?”
“A show.”
“Oh.” She motioned to the couch and Tait and Aaron down with a thud. “You knew we were watching?” Then Candy retrieved the chair from the small writing desk and set it down and sat down in it facing them.
“You two aren’t that subtle, you know. I have no idea how you survive as secret agents.”
“Under normal circumstances, we’re considered the best of the best, Candy. In fact, Aaron and I would be in the secret agent hall of fame if there was such a thing. It’s you. You throw us off our game.”
“Tait’s right. Since we met you, we’ve lost our edge. Even bringing Noah to Satisfaction. That was unprofessional in so many ways, but we knew that it would give us the chance to see you on a regular basis. Before we met you, we were the best because we could be utterly ruthless. We were both single. No wife. No girlfriend. No kids. We could take risks. But since we met you, we’ve been less inclined to take risks, and in our business, being too conservative can sometimes be as risky as taking too many chances.”
“So you are blaming me for the fact that…”
Aaron interrupted her. “No. Baby. You gave us something we didn’t have before. A reason not to take chances. That’s been an amazing gift. The problem has been trying to extricate ourselves from SSP. They’re not very happy that two more agents want to retire to live in Satisfaction. They are thinking of banning agents from visiting.”
“Retire?”
/>
“Yeah, baby. Retire!”
“What he said,” Tait confirmed. “We want to spend the rest of our lives with you, and not just the occasional weekend. We want to wake up with you every day and go to bed with you every night.”
“You do?”
“We do!”
“Then why did you pretend not to know me, Tait?”
“I panicked.”
“Panicked?”
“Yes. I’ve spent the last month dreaming of seeing you again and when I knew you’d left us, I was gutted. Seeing you for the first time, wondering if I, if we, still have a chance, I panicked. I guess I wanted to know if we could start over, but it didn’t come out quite like I’d planned. Hell, you were so cool when you saw me. I was expecting to see you and I nearly wet myself from the excitement. You didn’t know I’d be there, but you were so calm and collected. It was like you were the skilled undercover agent, not me.”
“Can I tell you two a secret?”
She leaned forward and so did they. Then she smiled.
“I knew you were here even before I saw Tait’s ass hanging out of that amazing thong speedo.”
“Ugh. Don’t remind me.”
“I wish I’d seen it. Not Tait’s ass. I’ve seen that before. But seeing his ass and his junk hanging out. That must have been quite a sight.”
“Oh, it was, Aaron. I don’t suppose you wear one of those while you are gardening.”
“No, luckily I get to wear cargo shorts and a golf shirt.”
“Too bad. But at least now I know what to get you for your birthday.”
“That’s not necessary. As long as I have you, I don’t need anything else.”
“Nice try, Aaron. If I have to wear one for our woman, so do you.”
“Maybe I want to rethink retirement.”
Chapter Eight
Aaron was grousing, but the truth was he’d wear the damned suit it if would please her. Hell, he’d buy one in every color, including rainbow and sequined, if that would make her happy.
“Can we back up for a second?” Tait’s voice was hesitant. Aaron looked at him. “Candy, did you, before we got distracted by the subject to obscene swimwear, say you knew we were here before you saw me?”
“Oh, yes. You two aren’t the only ones with an effective spy network. I see all, know all, and don’t you forget it.”
“Yeah, but don’t forget we tracked you here pretty quickly.”
“Yes, you did, Aaron. Too quickly?”
“Too quickly? You wanted us to find you?”
“Didn’t you think it was a touch too easy? The browser showing I’d checked out directions for the airport in El Paso. The airline ticket bought with my own money. Carter gave me a card to use, but I used my own so you could track me. And, of course, the browser history showing Libertine Island which just happened to be off the coast of St. Maarten.”
“But you’d logged out of the site. We couldn’t check the details. What if we hadn’t gotten more info from Dace?”
“I had to log out of the site. If I’d made it too easy, you’d have been suspicious. I had to make it a bit of a challenge for you. As for Dace, of course he was going to tell you. He knew the consequences of not helping you.”
“Consequences? Your big brother is sheriff. What could you have done to him?”
“Not me. Nicola.”
“Gotcha. You are right. A good Dom knows how to please his sub even as she submits to him. You are right. He didn’t have a choice. Now to get back to your computer. You mean you deliberately left a trail.”
“I didn’t have a lot of time to plan. But I’d been thinking about it for a while. Did the two of you care enough to come after me?”
“Did you really doubt that we would?”
“I rarely saw you when I was in Satisfaction. No, I wasn’t convinced you’d come after me. So I didn’t want it to be too hard, just in case…”
“In case what?” Aaron felt a surge of anger. “In case we couldn’t be bothered track you down if it was too challenging. Is that it? Did you trust us so little?”
He watched as she blushed. “Well, you didn’t seem to mind letting weeks or even months go by between visits. Maybe I was just convenient when you were in Satisfaction.”
“Oh, baby. I’m so sorry.”
“We’re so sorry,” Tait interrupted. “We were a couple of selfish idiots. And not just because we didn’t tell you about Noah. Why didn’t you ever tell us to go to hell when we came and went like we did?”
“Because I loved you both. And for a long time I convinced myself that whatever crumbs you were willing to give me were enough, until one day it wasn’t any more. It was harder and harder each time you left until finally the pain of your departures was worse than the joy of your visits.”
He saw the sadness in her smile and felt a tear run down his cheek. They’d done this, hurt the woman they loved. He for one was going to spend the rest of his life making up for it.
“Oh, Candy. Maybe we need to let you flog us.”
“Speak for yourself, Aaron.”
“Tait! We hurt the woman we love and you aren’t willing to withstand a little flogging to atone?”
“You misunderstand. I don’t think a flogging is enough. I think she should be allowed to cane us every time we take her for granted.”
“I like that plan!” Aaron looked at Candy’s cheerful grin. “I don’t have one with me, but I can just run down to the dungeon. Hold that thought!” For a second he thought she was serious, but then he saw her wicked grin.
He’d loved her before, but now he worshipped her. In fact…Aaron dropped to his knees. “You are the most amazing woman ever. I am your slave. I’m going to tan your ass for scaring me like that. But I’m your slave, too.”
Tait mimicked his best friend, kneeling at her feet. “We both are. Both things. Except, to be honest, I’d rather tan your ass, Candy.”
“Yeah, yeah. Promises, promises. When’s the last time the two of you even spanked me?”
Aaron paused and looked at Tait. Months. It had been months.
“I think that we’re going to have to have to rectify that, pet. Into the bedroom and strip. Then you are going over both of our laps for a sound spanking before we fuck your brains out.”
“Promises, promises!” she teased.
“Which part?” Aaron asked.
“Both!”
* * * *
Smack! Candy moaned. It hurt so good. Smack. Smack. She writhed against Tait’s hold. She was naked and across his lap as Tait knelt in front of them. Every now and then Tait would pause and Aaron would slip a big finger into her pussy or fondle and pinch her breasts and nipples.
“Hurry up, Tait. I want my turn!”
“Keep your pants on, Aaron. I’ve got five more to get to twenty. Play with her tits and get her nice and horny. I want to give her the last five on the pussy.”
Candy moaned as Tait pulled her legs further apart. She could feel his hard cock pressing against her side and desperately wanted to feel it inside her. She was distracted momentarily as Aaron gripped both nipples tightly and squeezed and twisted at the same time.
“And don’t even think of coming, young lady. You ran away from us and worried us half to death. No orgasms for you until we are good and ready to give you permission. And no asking either, or you won’t be allowed to have one again for the next twenty-four hours.”
“Oh, god. You wouldn’t.”
“I’ll settle for Master. And yes, we would. Now stop wriggling and take your final five so that Aaron can have his turn.” She moaned. Aaron’s hands hadn’t stopped moving over her breasts and now he’d leaned in close enough to take one nipple in his mouth while he pinched the other with his fingers. He suckled hard and just as she was felt the start of an orgasm, Aaron’s hand came down between her legs. He spanked her five times quickly and hard. She could feel her arousal soar. She just needed some stimulation on her clit and she was going to come, regardless of her orde
rs. She could feel the start of the tremors signaling her climax and desperately found to hold it back but it was hard with both of them stimulating her at once.
“Please!”
Just when she thought she couldn’t hold back, the both of them pulled away and she felt the loss of their hands on her body. It had been a close thing, but her climax subsided and she felt bereft. She’d been so close.
“Good girl,” Aaron praised. “Now it’s my turn.”
He moved to the end of the bed and tugged so she slid off Tait’s lap and onto his. Tait slid off the bed and positioned himself between her spread thighs.
“You have the most beautiful pussy.” He pushed a couple of fingers inside and swirled them. Then he pulled them out and put them in his mouth. “And you taste so good.”
Candy moaned at the words as much as the feel of his fingers inside her. And then she screamed as Tait’s hand came down hard on her already tender ass.
“Oh, sweets. You have no idea how good your ass looks all pink and rosy with our mark.” Smack, smack, smack. “It makes me think of all the things I want to do to it. We’re going to flog it and crop it and paddle it and eventually, we’re going to cane it.” Smack, smack, smack.
“Cane?” She wasn’t sure she liked the sound of that.
“Don’t worry. We’ll work up to it gradually. By the time we are done with your training, you’ll get horny every time you see the cane and you’ll come from the feel of it striking your ass.”
Oh, god. Just the thought of coming from being caned almost sent her over the edge. She writhed against Aaron’s hold as the blows began to rain down. She fought hard for control and was just about to give up when the spanking stopped and she felt herself being lifted up. She hadn’t noticed Tait removing his clothes and moving to lie on the bed, his cock hard and jutting up toward his navel. Aaron set her down so that she was straddling his friend.
She looked down and saw that Tait had already donned a condom. She wanted to reach down and touch it, caress it, but they were moving her, positioning her so that Tait’s cock was at her entrance. Slowly Aaron pressed her hips down as Tait help his cock positioned at her pussy entrance. He was thick and long and it had been too long since he’d been inside her.
