Bound & Teased

by Marie Tuhart

  Jed was too on edge and wouldn’t be able to handle it. He opened his mouth to shout out his safeword when Ry’s palms began caressing his ass cheeks.

  “Your ass is red, and there are a few welts from the flogging. The cream will help draw out the redness and minimize any pain.”

  Jed’s muscles relaxed as Ry lovingly stroked the cream into his skin. When he was finished, the stock was lifted. Jed rolled his shoulders as Ry rubbed his legs and thighs before helping him to his feet.

  Jed pulled Ry into a hug, enjoying the heat of Ry’s skin against his. “I needed that. Thank you, my friend, my Master.”

  “You are the perfect sub, Jed.” Ry’s arms tightened around him. “I appreciate your submission.” Ry took a step back. “How about we shower and then we call it a night.”

  “Fine with me.” Jed stretched. “Besides, I’m sweaty and so are you.” He took several steps then glanced over his shoulder. Ry stood by the stocks with a pensive look on his face.

  Jed strode over to Ry. “You didn’t do anything I didn’t want.” He clasped Ry on the shoulder.

  “I lost control.”

  “You didn’t.”

  “Jed, your ass was bright red. I raised welts. You’re going to be sore.”

  Jed tightened his fingers on Ry’s shoulder. They’d had this conversation before. “You’re a Dominant, Ry, we both know that. You get a little forceful but you never go over the limit.”

  “What if I get carried away with Katie? She’s not ready for that.”

  “I’m here to help you, remember?” He slipped his arm round Ry’s shoulders. “Let the past go, you’re no longer that out of control teenager.” Jed maneuvered Ry to the door.

  “I need to clean up down here.”

  “I’ll do it. Go get in the shower, and I’ll join you shortly.” For once Ry didn’t argue with him, which told Jed just how much Ry was in his own head right now. And that wasn’t always a good thing.

  Once, just once, Ry had gotten carried away with the flogger with Jed. He hadn’t injured Jed eight years ago. He’d only caused some discomfort, but nothing that required medical attention. All these years later, Ry was still paying the price. Jed had tried before to get Ry to understand he liked it when they played a little on the edge of pain and pleasure. When Dominant Ry really let go. But Ry was afraid of hurting him, of causing him injury.

  Now he just had to get Ry to understand he didn’t mind. An argument for another day. Jed cleaned up the equipment and headed upstairs. He slipped in the shower behind Ry and pulled the big man to him so Ry’s back pressed against Jed’s chest. And Ry let Jed hold him until the water was cold and even after they climbed into bed.

  Chapter Four

  Katie sat in her car the next night, staring out the windshield. She still had a full ten minutes before she needed to be inside the house and in the dungeon. She squirmed in her seat.

  “Damn.” The word slipped past her lips as her pussy twitched from her movement. She’d been swearing off and on all day, thanks to those balls in her core. Even sleeping last night had been a pain. Well, not real pain, but pleasurable pain.

  And she still wasn’t sure how she felt about following Ry and Jed’s commands. In the bedroom, yes, but her wearing toys outside of their play time? She hadn’t expected it and yet she hadn’t said her safeword. Confusion filled her. Logic said nothing outside the bedroom or the dungeon, but her heart wanted to make Ry and Jed proud of her.

  Ry had mentioned training, and it wasn’t a foreign concept to her. She understood about sub training from Dr. Pam and her classes and later had seen it in some of the clubs she’d visited. But until Ry mentioned it last night, she hadn’t even thought about it for herself.

  Even with the toy inside her and keeping her on edge, she’d visited several office spaces today to see how they would work for her accounting business. It had taken all her will power to walk around the offices, checking everything out. The balls rubbed up against her pussy walls, making her clit tingle. She had clenched hard to keep the balls inside of her.

  She had held out from calling either Ry or Jed. They knew darn well what those balls were going to do to her. But she also wanted them to be proud of her for not calling them. Heck, she’d bet her next paycheck they had expected another call from her.

  A sigh left her lips. There wouldn’t be a next paycheck unless she found office space. What she saw today was a little out of her financial reach right now. She’d have to figure something out soon because sitting in Gran’s kitchen was not exactly the best way to attract clients.

  Glancing at her watch, she had five minutes left. No time like the present. Scooping her purse and keys up, she carefully climbed out of her car and slowly walked to the front door. A note was stuck to the thick oak.

  “The door is open. We’ll make sure you have a key tonight before you leave.”

  Turning the handle, she pushed the door open and stepped in, listening. Nothing. The house was silent. Katie closed the door and locked it before setting her purse and keys down on the foyer table. She made her way to the dungeon.

  After punching in the code, she descended down, each step carefully measured so not to lose control of the balls inside her. Once in the dungeon, she crossed over to the bed. Tonight they had laid an outfit out. She’d wondered when they would dress her up. Buck up. She wanted them to know they weren’t making a mistake with her.

  She shed her clothes and put them away before going into the bathroom. She climbed into the shower and pulled the clear plastic curtain. Not much privacy there. She twisted the knobs turning on the water, then she went through the routine Ry and Jed told her about the other night. She cursed when the balls almost slipped out of her. If she wasn’t a submissive, payback would be a bitch. After drying off, she padded back to the bed, and picked up the laid out clothing.

  “Shit,” she whispered. This wasn’t clothing, and she might as well be naked. She closed her eyes for a moment, praying for patience. She slipped the panties on, wincing as the balls within her pussy shifted together from one side to the other. There was no crotch, only lace that went around her legs and her waist. The bra wasn’t much more concealing as her nipples and breasts were totally bare.

  She bit her lip. All part of the training, she reminded herself. She strode over to the mat and took her position. Arms behind her back, legs apart, and staring straight ahead at the wall. It wasn’t easy, keeping those balls in her core with her legs apart. She kept tightening her pussy muscles to keep them in, grateful now for all those Kegel exercises Dr. Pam encouraged her to do.

  The sound of the door opening had her stiffening. The tell-tale footfalls down the stairs, then quiet as they stepped onto the padded flooring. Katie breathed through her nose and out her mouth, trying not only to calm her racing heart, but to keep herself from demanding they take these balls out.

  “Good job today, Kitty Kat,” Jed said, walking in front of her.

  “God, you’re beautiful, sweetheart.” Ry joined him.

  Her gaze went from Ry to Jed and then lowered to their erect cocks before taking in their sculpted abs, their bare chests, and finally to their faces. Oh, man they were ready to go. And so was she.

  “How many times did the balls fall out today?” Ry asked.

  “Twice, Sir Ry.”

  His eyebrows rose. “Only twice?”

  “Yes, Sir Ry.” She fought not to shift from one foot to the other, not only because the balls would shift and it would disappoint her Sirs, but because it wasn’t going to take much to make her orgasm.

  “And how many times did you come today, Kitty Kat?”

  Katie bit her lip as her face grew warm. “Five times, Sir Jed.” She cursed each time her body took over. And she cursed them for being so diabolical.

  Grins broke out on the men’s faces, and Katie’s heart leapt. Oh, they were planning something for her all right.

  “And what did we tell you not to do?” Ry asked.

  “You told m
e not to come, Sir Ry.”

  “Did you masturbate?” Jed asked.

  “No, Sir Jed. The balls caused each climax I had.”

  Oh, but how she wanted to touch herself, to rub her clit, to make herself orgasm if only to relieve the pressure building in her pussy, but she hadn’t. Not that it mattered, because each time she climaxed, the want, the need, only got worse.

  The men looked at each other then back at her, Jed stepped in front of her. He took her by the arms and walked her backward until her butt hit what felt like a padded table, and he moved behind her.

  Ry took position in front of her, grasping her waist and lifting her. Jed’s arms came around, sliding under her legs with his palms on her thighs, and he pulled her legs apart. Katie had to lean against Jed or she’d fall. Her pussy was on display for Ry.

  “Her pussy is nice and rosy, Jed.” Ry stepped closer until she could feel his body heat. “And smells delicious.”

  Ry slipped two fingers into her wet pussy, and Katie squealed. Oh, God, her pussy contracted around his fingers. If he moved them just right or touched her clit, she was going to climax again.

  She tried to keep still, but her hips shifted up, trying to get pressure on her clit. Ry frowned, and his fingers curled within her pussy. The balls popped out into his palm, making a clanking sound. Ry removed his fingers, and Katie breathed a sigh of relief.

  “You’re clit is red and inflamed, Katie. I think it needs some relief.” Ry lowered his head.

  “No, Ry,” she yelled before she thought better of it.

  Ry’s head jerked up, and Jed tightened his arms on her legs.

  “Did you just tell me no, my little subbie?” Ry straightened and took a step back.

  “Yes, Sir Ry. I’m sorry.” Damn, how could she have made such a stupid mistake?

  “Well, Jed, what shall we do with this disobedient subbie?”

  “Let’s put her in the bondage chair, not only for telling you no, but for her unauthorized climaxes today,” Jed suggested.

  “Not the bondage chair.” Ry rubbed his chin, while staring at her.

  “Fucking stool?”

  “That would be more pleasure than punishment.”

  Katie ground her teeth together as they talked about her punishment as if she weren’t even there. It was their fault she had spoken out.

  “What about the exposure bench?”

  “Perfect.” Jed released her legs, and her back slid down his body until her feet hit the floor. Ry stood in front of her, his arms curled around her waist, lifting her into his arms. Her heart jumped a beat as he crossed the room before Jed joined them.

  Ry set her down on the padded bench. Katie swallowed. She had a feeling she wasn’t going to like this, but she wasn’t about to say her safeword, either. This couldn’t be as bad as having those damn balls in her pussy for twenty-four hours.

  “Lay on your back. Jed and I will do the rest.”

  “Yes, Sir Ry,” she whispered, not liking the cuffs dangling in Jed’s hands. Katie let the cool leather of the bench touch her back. She watched them and waited.

  Jed handed Ry a small cuff, and together they secured her wrists. Then they bent down and clipped her arms down toward the floor. She could handle having her arms immobile. When they straightened, Jed handed Ry two more cuffs, one much larger than the other but with chains attached. Her heart sped up.

  Ry took her left leg in his hand, cradling it in the nook of his arm. Jed did the same with her right leg. Cuffs were applied to her ankles and right above her knees. Then they raised her legs, keeping them spread as they began attaching the chains to the bench’s crossbar.

  The cool air caressed her pussy lips. Oh, shit, she was wide open for whatever they wanted to do. Katie concentrated on her breathing as her stomach quivered with unease. They wouldn’t hurt her, she reminded herself, but it didn’t stop apprehension from dancing along her nerves.

  Ry turned and strode across the room while Jed cupped her chin, turning her face to him. “If your legs or arms start falling asleep, let us know immediately.”

  “Yes, Sir Jed.”

  “Now for this next part, we want you to only feel.” Jed placed a blindfold over her eyes and slid the elastic strap behind her head.

  She hadn’t expected this. At least not this soon. The darkness encompassed her. Oh God, she couldn’t do this. She began pulling at the restraints. “Yellow.”

  “Katie.” Ry’s voice was right next to her ear. “What is it?”

  She fought to breathe. “Blindfold.”

  “Easy,” Jed whispered in her other ear. “We’re right here.” Fingers brushed against her cheeks. “Breathe, Kitty Kat.”

  Katie took a deep breath and let it out, trying to quell the panic.

  “That’s it,” Jed said. “Do it again.”

  “You’re perfectly safe, little one,” Ry said, his fingers caressed her neck and shoulder.

  “He’s right.” Jed stroked her cheek again.

  Her breathing got easier, and slowly her muscles unclenched as they talked softly to her and touched her. It was just them in the room, no one else.

  “What scares you?” Ry asked, his fingers massaging her arm in the restraints.

  “I...” How could she tell them? This was something no one knew about, not even her grandmother.

  “You can tell us,” Jed whispered.

  “I can’t talk like this.” She couldn’t. She wanted to see their faces when she spoke about what happened. To know they didn’t take her fear lightly.

  Ry and Jed released the restraints and helped her sit up before the blindfold was removed. Katie blinked several times.

  Jed scooped her up and walked across the room to the bed, setting her down next to Ry before joining them. Jed slipped his arm around her shoulders while Ry’s arm encircled her waist.

  “Tell us,” Ry said. It was a gentle command, but a command all the same.

  “It happened when I was nine.” A shiver chased up her spine. She really didn’t want to remember, but they needed to know. “I don’t know if you two remember the horrible storm we had that spring.”

  Jed’s lips brushed her temple. “I do. Lots of thunder and lightning.” He glanced over at Ry. “Remember the lightning struck the old barn, and we were all out there making sure the fire was out.”

  “Yes,” Ry said.

  Another shiver hit her.

  “What happened, little one?” Ry squeezed her waist.

  “Mom and grandma were both out.” Her voice trembled. You’d think by now she’d be over this, but there was something about it she couldn’t get past. “The storm started, and I hated storms. So I went up to my room and curled up in my bed, hoping it would pass quickly.”

  “And if I remember, it didn’t,” Ry said, his arms giving her a squeeze.

  “No.” She closed her eyes, trying to force back the fear. “And then the power went out.”

  Their arms tightened around her, trying to give her comfort while encouraging her to continue.

  “It was so dark I couldn’t see anything. I crept out of bed, carefully making my way to the door. I figured if I could find my mom’s room I could find the flashlight.” Her breath hitched. She’d been so scared, so alone.

  “You’re safe, baby,” Jed whispered.

  “I’d just gotten into the hallway when I heard a noise.” She’d frozen in place, afraid to move. Afraid of the noise. Her heart raced with renewed fear. “Then I heard footsteps. I didn’t know what to do.”

  Ry and Jed moved together, propping her up with pillows. Their faces held concern as they sat on each side. Each picked up one of her hands.

  “I was so afraid,” she whispered. “It was so dark and there was someone in the house, I wanted to call out but was afraid it wasn’t mom or Gran.” Her stomach rolled as the fear coiled there.

  “The bottom stair creaked.” She couldn’t stop the quiver in her voice. “I somehow scooted back into my room, but the steps were coming closer.” Tears
filled her eyes.

  “Fuck,” Ry whispered.

  “How could we have not known this?” Jed asked.

  “Because no one knows,” Katie whispered.

  “What do you mean, no one knows?” Ry asked.

  “I was trying to find the closet when the lights flickered back on.” Her voice was a bit steadier now. “I saw a shadow outside my room.” She fought against the fear.

  “Who was it?” Jed asked softly.

  “I don’t know. The lights flickered, and all went dark again. But I knew where my closet was. So I grabbed my teddy bear and quietly went into the closet.”

  The next thing she knew, she was being lifted into Ry lap. Jed cuddled up against her back. Their loving embrace soothed her fears.

  “You’re safe, little one,” Ry whispered, his fingers wiping away the tears on her cheeks.

  “We’re here for you, Kitty Kat.” Jed rubbed her shoulders.

  “I don’t know how long I sat in the closet, curled up in the back, trying to be quiet. So afraid.” She burrowed closer to Ry’s chest. “Mom found me after calling my name several times.”

  “Why didn’t they call the sheriff?” Ry asked.

  Katie gave a half-laugh with a hiccup. “Because there was no sign of anyone ever getting into the house.” She sniffled. “Mom thought it was just my imagination. But I know someone was there.”

  “Of course you did.” Jed hugged her.

  “I can’t stand total darkness. I still sleep with a night light on.”

  “I’m so glad you told us.” Ry kissed her temple.

  “Why didn’t you say something when I put the blindfold on?” Jed asked.

  “I didn’t think it would be so bad.” She sniffled. “Then I panicked.”

  “We hit a silent trigger,” Ry said.

  Jed leaned back, grabbed the tissue box, and pulled several out before handing them to Ry.

  “What’s that?” She scrunched up her nose, trying to figure out what they were talking about, but the knots in her stomach were slowly going away.

  “It’s something buried in the psyche that you weren’t conscious of, or you would have told us.” Ry took the tissues from Jed.
