Screw Me Sideways [Clink 1: A Cowboy Sex Story] (Siren Publishing LoveEdge)

by Natalie Acres

  “I don’t know.”

  “You’ve never been spanked?” Reason arched a brow. Was that possible? Sure, he mused, thinking he’d been in the club scene for far too long if he couldn’t recognize a woman lacking experience for valid reasons.

  “No. I’ve never been spanked.”

  Jade was young. She was short on experience and that apparently had a lot to do with her lack of exposure.

  Kellan kissed her. “I like the sound of never.”

  “I’ve never been in a relationship.”

  “Why is that?” Reason asked, leaving the sitting area and eyeing the bed. He could already imagine Jade lying there, stretched out before them, willing and ready.

  She bowed her head even lower. “I’m ex-Amish.”

  “What?” Now it was Reason’s turn to acknowledge a little angst. “Since when?”

  “You did not just ask her that,” Kellan said, shaking his head.

  Yeah, he’d had a slip of tongue there but she’d caught him off guard. “Why didn’t you say anything?”

  Kellan backed away from her as if he were afraid to touch her. Apparently, he had a delayed reaction to what this all meant. Depending on how long she’d lived in the “English” world, there was a very strong possibility that she would return to her roots.

  As if his desertion offended her, Jade said, “I hate to tell you this, Kellan, but considering what we’ve already done, it’s a little too late to worry about sinning with me.”

  “She’s right,” Reason said, resisting a laugh.

  Kellan narrowed his eyes. “You should’ve said something.”

  While Kellan and Jade stared at one another, speechless, Reason sent a text to Madden: Check Jade’s background again. She may very well be the mole. She’s claiming she’s ex-Amish.

  Madden fired one right back: She’s shooting straight with you. She IS ex-Amish. We’ll talk later. Don’t let her out of your sight.

  “Don’t have anything to say?” Kellan pressed. “You don’t feel like you owe me an explanation?”

  “Why would I?” Her expression changed and a new side of Jade emerged. She flashed signs of a controlled temper as her cheeks turned pink. “Would you have slept next to me if you’d known I’d never been touched? Would you have asked me to take off my clothes? Would you have gone down on me?” She shook her head rapidly. “No. You would’ve handled me with kid gloves and even then you would’ve shunned me. I walked away from a way of life, not my beliefs. It wasn’t a choice I debated in the heat of anger. I’ve known since I was a little girl that one day I’d walk into the English world and leave the Amish behind.

  “Now you can take me as I am, or you can turn on me. I’m proud of my heritage but more importantly, I’m excited about where I’m headed.”

  “You ain’t the only one,” Reason muttered.

  Kellan frowned. “You don’t work for Baldini?”

  “She’s been cleared,” Reason said. “I double-checked with Madden.”

  “What? Are you out of your mind?” She stomped to the door, apparently hell bent on leaving.

  Before she gripped the handle, Kellan was there. “Where do you think you’re going?”

  “Home.” She glared at him then as if she were ready to strike. “You think I work for Nory’s father?”

  “Um, as soon as she said, ‘ex-Amish’, Kellan, you should’ve put that other idea to rest.”

  “And you thought so, too?” She turned on Reason. “I’m Nory’s friend. I enjoy being around her. We have a lot in common.”

  “I can see that,” Reason admitted, wishing he would’ve asked questions long before now.

  “What have I done to make you feel this way?”

  “Someone gave up intelligence on Nory,” Kellan explained. “Madden thinks it was a local cop and I’m just making sure he’s right.”

  “It wasn’t me,” she said, her expression telling. “I love Nory. We’re both running from something and while it’s different, it’s also the same. We can’t escape our pasts.”

  Reason and Kellan locked gazes and apparently their feisty vixen had a problem with that. She yanked the door open and undoubtedly planned to flee.

  Kellan slammed it right back, apparently sharing Reason’s goals.

  “You’re not going anywhere,” Kellan said. “Maybe you can run from your past but you’re not about to run away from the future and since I’m part of that future, I say when it starts and it begins right now.”

  Reason grinned. Jade was as innocent as any woman he’d ever known and he wasn’t sure he knew how to handle her. At the same time, he still possessed a burning desire to spank her. Maybe he could work out his feelings while giving her every last one of those birthday licks.

  Chapter Eleven

  Everything made perfect sense now. Jade’s semi-awkwardness coupled with her quiet mannerism and her friendships with the younger crowd led Kellan to believe she’d clung to her past more than she realized but he’d also seen her bravery, too. She wanted to embrace a new life and apparently believed the lifestyle would help her in some way.

  “I know what you’re thinking,” she began, watching Reason. “I’m not experienced.”

  “I’m having difficulty with that, but not for the reasons you might imagine.” Reason paced in front of the coffee table.

  “You think I don’t know what I want.”

  “How could you?” Reason asked, seemingly disappointed.

  “Jade, lie down on the bed,” Kellan said, his voice rough and stern.

  She backed against the furniture without hesitation. The nervous young woman who had slept in his arms a few nights ago was nowhere to be found.

  Jade clearly knew what she wanted. Kellan planned to give it to her.

  Since Clink’s suite was often used by the club owners and VIPs, the linen closet housed a large selection of new toys and batteries. Kellan had already chosen a few favorites and had them all ready to go. “I’ll be right back.” He marched to the bathroom and chose the first toy. Squirting lube on a butt plug, he greased the stone and then turned to reenter the bedroom. Reason was standing there.

  “What do you think you’re doing?” Reason asked, nodding at the plug. “Did you miss the part where she’s completely innocent?”

  “You’re forgetting one thing, Reason. I’ve been with her. I’ve seen her eagerness, felt it. I’m not breaching anything that you want to take for yourself, but I’m leaving her on the bed with this.” He hit the power button to show Reason what she could expect. The head of the stone inched right to left and right to left, then paused for three seconds.

  Reason snickered. “Wow. How impressive is that?”

  “She won’t get off on it but it’ll give her some indication of what to expect.”

  “You think she’ll agree to anal sex? Are you out of your mind?”

  “Might as well start somewhere,” Kellan said, handing off the butt plug. “I’ll let you do the honors once you leave your conscience behind.”

  He left Reason and returned to the suite. “Scoot up to the headboard.”

  “You’re going to handcuff me?” She didn’t hesitate, which was telling. She backed against the pillows and stretched out on the bed, holding her arms up immediately.

  “Oh so you noticed those, did you?”

  She nodded excitedly and her enthusiasm was nearly his undoing. “Jade, if you’re ever scared or concerned, you can ask me anything or use your safe word.”

  “I’ve read about safe words.”

  He assumed as much. He’d seen quite the library at her house. “What’s your safe word?”

  “Dark.”

  “Why dark?” He didn’t always ask a sub to explain why they’d chosen a particular word but he was curious.

  “Dark suggests something frightening, and anything painful frightens me.”

  “The only pain I want you to experience is the kind that leads to pleasure.” He grabbed the keys from the handcuffs and stuck them in his pocket
. He took a moment to secure the cuffs and then stood back to admire the pretty vixen now stretching with the tension.

  “That’s what I call a beautiful sight.” Reason rejoined them. He sat beside her and rested his hand against her ribcage.

  “What is that?” Jade focused on the plug.

  “Will you trust me?”

  She hesitated and Reason glanced at Kellan. Apparently fearing she’d hurt Reason’s feelings, she nodded. “Until you give me a reason not to, I’ll trust you.”

  Reason lowered his lips to hers. “I guess we’ll have to make sure that doesn’t happen.” He hovered over her mouth, working her dress up her hips.

  Kellan grinned at the sight of her, the way her knees were pressed against one another and how Reason had to more or less pry her legs apart. “Spread ’em, sweetheart.”

  She jerked and then cut her gaze to her Kellan. Reason immediately cupped her chin, bringing her face back to his. At the same time, he thrust his arm forward, undoubtedly spreading her cheeks and placing the plug right inside her hole.

  “Oh.” Her breathless whisper and the hitch in her soft cry confirmed the obvious.

  The toy was in position.

  “Is it on?” Kellan asked.

  “No,” Reason replied. “I’ll let you do the honors.”

  Kellan leaned over the bed. Drawing her into a heated kiss, he crawled his fingers up her thigh before tapping the end of the plug. He turned on the device and as it worked into a slow jiggle, he backed out of the kiss, admiring his new submissive’s flushed face.

  “We’ll be right back,” Kellan said.

  “Wait. You can’t leave me like this.”

  “We’ll be right outside,” Reason promised, moistening his lips and staring at hers.

  Understanding what kind of hell Reason was experiencing, Kellan waited to exit. When he turned around, Reason was backing out of a kiss that had apparently made quite the impression.

  If Jade had any doubts before then, she now knew the score. She would soon belong to two Doms. She would soon belong to them.

  Chapter Twelve

  “Spill it. Why’d Tristan give you the night off?”

  “Jade’s place isn’t safe. The dress she’s wearing was delivered by a courier and the box had a bomb in it.”

  “Did it blow?” Reason asked.

  “Nope,” Kellan replied. “Madden thinks the dress was a bone used to lure me and you back to her place. Since I’ve been staying on her couch, they probably figured on lighting a fire under my ass. If they’ve done their homework, they were likely counting on you, too.”

  “So did the bomb squad disarm it?”

  Kellan nodded. “But the motherfucker was set to blow at five o’clock, which suggests—”

  “Whoever planted it allowed enough time for bartenders to close up shop here.”

  “Exactly,” Kellan muttered.

  “Is the team still out at Jade’s?”

  “Yes, but she’s not going back there,” Kellan said. “We have surveillance here and can keep her safe until we figure out our next move.”

  “Our next move may be getting her out of town,” Reason said, frowning.

  “And that’s not out of the question. A little road trip with Jade riding shotgun sounds pretty exciting, if you ask me.”

  “Aren’t you the guy who was afraid to take her virginity?”

  Kellan stilled. “That’s not changed.”

  “Then you’ll have to wait for me,” Reason said. “If a bomb was planted at Jade’s place, you’re right about taking her out of town. Let me talk to Tristan and Ansley tonight and see what I can find out about some time off. Plus we need to see if we can get a facial recognition on the gal who came in here pitching warnings.”

  “I’ll be here,” Kellan promised.

  Reason shrugged. “I know what I’d be doing if the roles were reversed.”

  “I guess I don’t have to tell you to hurry then.”

  “Do me a favor and paddle her ass. She needs to know it’s not okay to wear bracelets advertising her availability.” Reason paused and added, “And be sure to let her know that as long as she’s playing with us, she’s not free to look for outside play partners. Last time I had an inexperienced submissive in my bed, she was searching for experience everywhere else, too.”

  “That won’t be a problem with Jade.”

  “Make sure it isn’t. We can’t keep her safe if she’s drawn to all the wrong places.”

  Reason disappeared down the dark hallway and Kellan returned to the suite, thinking about “dark” in a different manner then. His sweet Jade wouldn’t have a need to use her safe word tonight because he intended to make this experience pleasurable, even if he gave her a taste of some pain.

  Watching from across the room, he loved the way her body arched slightly when the timed plug joggled inside her. The white dress, however, was a reminder. Someone had stepped way over the line in an effort to harm her.

  Approaching the bed, he eyed the small plug tucked between her cheeks. Jade didn’t look embarrassed but she was undoubtedly aware of what held his interest. He enjoyed watching the way her body naturally sucked at the rounded tip as the smooth quakes left her body ajar.

  “Kellan, are you afraid of me now?”

  “What? No.” He sat next to her. “Why would you think that?”

  “You look at me like you’re not quite sure what to do with me.”

  “Trust me, honey. I know what to do with you.”

  “Prove it.”

  He swallowed, remembering how he’d felt at her home, how easy and comfortable conversation had been, how much he’d enjoyed shopping with her or just being near her. They had a level of comfort between them that he couldn’t exactly pinpoint or explain.

  Kellan didn’t want to fuck this up.

  Lifting her dress slightly, he withdrew the plug. After depositing it in the sink, he returned to unhook the handcuffs.

  “Go freshen up,” he whispered, helping her sit and then stand. “We have a long night ahead of us.”

  She rose to her tiptoes and pecked his lips. “I’m looking forward to it.”

  Chapter Thirteen

  Jade ditched the dress. It made Kellan uncomfortable and while he hadn’t said as much, he didn’t need to. She could tell it served as a reminder.

  A man like Kellan probably didn’t like it when someone gained the upper hand. Someone had been able to send her a gift without his knowledge and considering he was looking out for her well being, he likely viewed the dress as a rival’s memento of his failure.

  He hadn’t been able to keep the enemy out and if he couldn’t keep the enemy out, he couldn’t hold up his promise. Kellan couldn’t protect her.

  Jade slipped off her shoes and pulled free a plush white towel from the linen closet. She wrapped it around her and left the bathroom.

  As soon as she reentered the suite, she appreciated the changes. The dim lighting and the candlelight set the stage for romance.

  Kellan held a riding crop in his hand. Letting it hang loosely at his leg, he eyed her suspiciously. “Did I tell you to lose the dress?”

  “No, but—”

  “No, Sir.” His eyes were darker, colder. “I think someone needs her birthday spankings.” He motioned for her as he took a seat on the ottoman.

  Jade crept closer. He reached out to her and she placed her hand in his, trusting him to make the right decisions for her then.

  Pulling her across his lap, Kellan asked, “Do you know why you’re being punished, Jade?”

  “Because of the bracelet.”

  “That’s right,” he said, lifting the towel and running his hand over her bottom.

  She fought to steady her nerves, scared if she showed Kellan her fear, he wouldn’t go through with this. Besides, hadn’t she dreamt about this moment? Hadn’t she always wondered what it would feel like to have a willing and worthy Dom ready to spank her, eager to punish her when it was justified, train her when necessar
y?

  The leather tapping against her cheeks in repetition made her gasp in surprise. She counted them out in twos and whimpered with every strike, realizing the throaty racket indicated her pleasure more so than her pain.

  Goosebumps covered her skin and her insides quivered. She wanted more, needed each and every lick. Kellan massaged her cheeks, tossed the leather crop aside, and pulled her to her feet, staring up at her as if he now viewed her in a different light.

  “What is it?” she asked.

  “You.” He swallowed, pulling her between his parted legs before forcing her to sit on his thigh. He then tilted her chin and assaulted her lips in a kiss that she would never forget.

  His need, his hunger, all of it had intensified and for some reason, she wasn’t sure the spanking had been the reason. Still, she fed from their kiss and the crazy longing he stirred inside her was enough to drive her forward. “Let me touch you, please.” She’d paid attention while she’d been perusing Clink. Submissives asked to touch their Doms.

  “Touch, baby.” He unhooked his belt and guided her hand underneath his briefs and straight to his cock.

  As soon as his hard shaft pressed against her palm, she shivered in pleasure. The weight and texture of his hard shaft lengthening across her hand enticed her.

  She closed around his prick, pumping him slowly, trying to be gentle as she learned what he liked. His hand locked around hers and he guided her.

  Their lips met again, parted once more. He cupped her neck and stared into her eyes as she worked her hand up and down, enjoying the way he looked at her as she gave him a hand job.

  His fingers brushed against her knee. He walked his fingers up her inner thigh but stopped at her pussy. Her breasts were heavier. Her nipples as hard as tiny stones.

  She wanted him inside her. She needed him to cool the burn, stroke away the ache. Instead of asking for what she needed, she parted her legs and pushed her hips away from his lap.
