Taming Kalinda

by Dakota Trace

Dominic watched as Josh paced the playroom. “You’re going to make me dizzy, Josh, if you don’t stop pacing.”

  Josh froze. “What if she runs, Dominic? I don’t know if this hare-brained scheme is gonna work. Hell, I don’t know if I’ll even be able to handle watching you two together without wanting to rip something or someone in half.”

  Dominic placed a hand on Josh’s shoulder. “You don’t know until you try. I want you to give this an honest chance. If I weren’t certain that this would be perfect for her, I wouldn’t even attempt it. Let’s face it buddy, I have no sexual desire for you - not in the least bit. I simply want to give her what she needs to be happy. I honestly think between the two of us, she’s going to be deliriously happy.”

  “That’s if she sticks around to find out,” Josh muttered before resuming his pacing.

  “She’ll stay just to prove a point…”

  The sound of voices on the stairs had his voice trailing off. Butterflies jumped in his stomach when Kalinda entered the room after Nisey and he got a good look at her outfit. She was wearing a knee length white eyelet peachskin summer dress with cap sleeves and a scooped neckline with her dark hair pulled up in a ponytail. She looked as fresh and innocent as spring which only made him long to debauch her.

  Beside him, he heard Josh’s mutter ‘fuck’ as he caught sight of what she was wearing.

  “I know. Where the hell did she find that dress?”

  “At Nordstroms. I bought it for her as a birthday present before she left.” Josh breathed deeply just before Kalinda caught sight of the men.

  Her step faltered as her eyes darted nervously towards Dominic. It was obvious she was uncertain about her former Dom as well as her current Master being present.

  * * * *

  With the rope rubbing her clit, it had been all Kalinda could do to make it down the stairs into Caelan’s playroom without climaxing. Desire had been her constant companion ever since Caelan and Nisey had outlined their plan to her. When she’d spotted first Dominic and then Josh, her heart had nearly pounded its way out of her chest. She knew instinctively that Dominic had set this whole scene up. “…the next time, I won’t stop him…he’ll be here…” echoed through her mind. Incredibly instead of fear, the desire running through her system doubled. Her clit pulsed hard against the smooth feel of the nylon knot pressed against it. Digging her nails into her sweating palms, she tried to fight off the threatening climax. She was so close. Her eyes darted to Dominic as she tried to force back the orgasm that was hovering over her. He was her Master, and she couldn’t come without his permission.

  In an attempt to stall her imminent orgasm, she turned away.

  “Slave.” Dominic’s stern voice had her trembling visibly.

  “Ye-yellow.” Her gasped reply for a ‘slow down’ was barely audible as she asked for a moment to compose herself. They hadn’t even begun to tease Dominic or bind Nisey and here she was on the verge of losing herself. How the hell was she going to torment her Master when she was the one worked up?

  Large warm hands settled on her shoulders. Thinking it was Dominic, she lifted her head to see Josh’s concerned face. He swallowed roughly. “I’ll leave if you can’t handle this, Spitfire.”

  She took a deep breath and let it out as the undisguised need in his voice stroked over her. Her instinctive need to give to him overwhelmed her.

  When another hand cupped her cheek, she looked up into the dark eyes of her current Master. The look in them begged her to trust his judgment. She finally relaxed between the two of them, letting their overwhelming presence sooth her. While the desire to tease both of them was still there, she felt balanced in a way she’d never felt before. Despite the fact she felt she’d failed Josh in the past, those memories had no bearing on the way the two of them made her feel at this particular moment. The two Doms together were a heady intense sensual combination as they focused on her. How would she survive this?

  “What level are you at, chérie?”

  “Yellow, Master. Please…”

  “I’ll leave.” Josh’s shoulders slumped as he removed his hands from Kalinda’s shoulders. He stepped back then turned dejectedly to leave.

  Her panicked eyes found Dominic’s. She hadn’t been asking Josh to leave! She just needed a moment to adjust. “I…Master…please…ah, hell stop him, please!”

  Dominic barked at Josh’s back. “Stop!”

  Josh froze at the door. Dominic turned back towards Kalinda.

  “Can you do this for me? You know I won’t let anything …”

  Kalinda placed her fingers over his mouth. “I know, Master.” She pressed her forehead to his wide chest and took a few calming breaths. She was vastly aware that the balance she’d felt moments ago was gone now that Josh had moved away. Now she understood why Dominic had wanted this for her. Like any truly good Dom, he knew what she needed before she did.

  In the background she could hear Caelan talking to Josh, trying to persuade him into giving Kalinda a moment or two to get her bearings. She was glad he was here to help. After only a few moments, she lifted her head off Dominic’s chest.

  “Okay?” His voice rumbled in his chest. She nodded. “I need to hear it, Kalinda. There can be no mistakes at this point. What level are you at?”

  “Green, Master. He can stay.”

  Chapter Six

  The relief Josh felt when he heard Kalinda’s words was so intense he almost fell to his knees. He wasn’t used to feeling this uncertainty when it came to dealing with a submissive. The need to dominate was still there, but suddenly he felt the need to defer to Dominic. The other man knew the ‘woman’ Kalinda now was. Surely Dominic would know how to handle her!

  “Relax, buddy.” Caelan’s voice was calm. “She’s stronger than you think. It was simply the shock of seeing both of you together. Let her get used to the idea then she’ll give you both a run for your money.”

  “Yeah.” He turned back around to see Dominic moving away from Kalinda and her lowered head. Her body swayed as if to follow him when she righted herself. He waited for the jealousy to strike him but surprisingly it was absent. His inner Dom was more concerned about how she was dealing with the situation than being angry that another man was comforting his woman.

  Once Kalinda straightened, her acceptance was obvious to both of them. Caelan promptly took charge.

  “All right. Josh and Dominic, take a seat, it’s time to get this scene started.” Caelan turned to the women. Nisey giggled softly but instantly quieted when Caelan frowned at her.

  “Sorry, Máister. I’m just excited.”

  He nodded. “Strip.” Nisey complied as he motioned to Kalinda to join him. “Come stand next to Nisey, so you can see everything up close. You’re going to be my assistant tonight, since one of the men here has had no previous experience with shibari.”

  “Of course.” Kalinda made her way over to where Nisey was standing, wearing nothing more than a modest thong, in the middle of the room.

  “Tonight I’m going to begin with a simple demonstration of the basic harness that I give all my beginner classes. I know this will be review for you, Dominic, but for Josh it will be new. Then once I complete that part of the scene, I will move onto more complex rope work, so that at the conclusion of our scene my little slave will be suspended and hopefully in subspace. Any questions before we start?” He fixed his eyes on both of the men.

  After both of them shook their heads, Caelan rolled up the sleeves on his dress shirt to expose his forearms. “All right then. Kalinda, in the top drawer of that cabinet next to the sink there is a skein of hemp rope. Bring it to me.”

  She scurried off to do his bidding while Caelan gave Nisey a wink before turning back to the other two men in the room. “Crash course here, Josh. There are several different types of rope that can be used for shibari.” He took the rope from returning Kalinda. “While Nisey and I prefer hemp or jute…” he held up the rope Kalinda had just given him. “…other ropes can be used…” Cael
an nodded towards Kalinda. As if receiving some unknown signal, she nodded, pushed the cap sleeves off her shoulders, then lowered the top of her dress to her waist. The stark white fiber of the nylon stood out against her olive skin. The sight was reminiscent of bygone times when men enslaved women and took what they wanted. Both of the seated men drew harsh breaths. She couldn’t help the feeling of mischievousness that washed over her. She loved the idea she was teasing both of them. “…such as nylon. Although it is good for tying harnesses like Kalinda is wearing, I wouldn’t recommend using it for suspension because of its slippery nature. Thank you, Kalinda. You may cover up.”

  She slowly pulled the bodice of the dress back up covering the harness before returning to Nisey’s side. Nisey stepped forward. Caelan positioned her exactly as he wanted her. Kalinda was surprised when he handed the rope back to her after folding in it half and knotting it about a foot from the fold.

  “Place this over her head, Brat.” His eyes twinkled before he whispered soft enough only she and Nisey could hear. “You’re doing wonderfully, Sis. If you could’ve seen the look on their faces - they could’ve caught flies if their mouths had opened any further.”

  Kalinda had to struggle not to giggle, but instead placed a sassy extra wiggle in her step when she turned to place the rope over her friend’s head. Let the torture begin!

  * * * *

  Sitting next to Josh, Dominic tightly gripped the arms of his chair as he watched Kalinda help her brother create the rope harness that would be the foundation of tonight’s lesson. The image of his chérie standing next to her brother adorned with the traditional diamonds of the shibari harness was burned into his memory. His dick was so hard he was surprised it hadn’t burst through the material restraining it. It had been all he could do to stay in his seat and not rip the pretty dress off of her to find out how far down the white nylon harness went.

  Next to him, Josh stirred in the chair before he leaned forward to get a better view.

  “God damn, I never knew that shibari is this erotic. How far down does it go?” Josh’s voice was hoarse.

  “All the way to her sweet little pussy if we’re lucky.” Dominic leaned forward too as he watched Caelan show the differences between the type of harness he was creating on Nisey and the one that Kalinda wore. Once more his little slave was naked to the waist with her back presented to them, while Caelan pointed to where Nisey had threaded the rope through to create the back half of the harness. It was the fourth time that she’d played peek-a-boo with them. He was dangerously close to interfering despite his promise to Caelan.

  When Kalinda turned back around at her brother’s insistence, her eyes caught first his and then Josh’s. Her inner vixen was more than apparent because of the knowing twinkle that gave away the fact she knew she was tormenting both him and Josh. Her nipples beaded under their stares as Caelan drew their attentions back to the front of the harness. Her soft moan teased his ears when he licked his lips.

  “Naughty little Spitfire!” The frustration in Josh’s hiss rang true with Dominic. Even if shibari wasn’t the other man’s fetish, it was hard not to be effected by the show Kalinda was giving them.

  Dominic groaned when Caelan instructed his sister to take off her dress as they moved to the lower abdomen. The rope ran down the length of her stomach to disappear between her legs. The modest thong, which covered her mound in the front while still exposing her luscious ass-cheeks, was all that Kalinda wore aside from the rope. When Caelan ordered her to turn around, both Dominic and Josh surged out of their chairs. The sight of the white rope dividing Kalinda’s ass when she moved seductively pushed them over the edge. “Oh, she’s gonna get her ass reddened for this little stunt.” Dominic’s growl was loud in the room but Josh’s response was no softer.

  “And I’m going to help you.”

  * * * *

  Kalinda’s heart raced as she heard not only Dominic’s but also Josh’s response to it. She had a moment of panic until her brother winked at her.

  “You’re both going to sit your asses back down so I can conclude the first part of the lesson, gentlemen.”

  The answering grumbles had Caelan turning around to focus his best Dom glare on the men. “Unless you’d both like to leave?”

  Both men shook their heads. Caelan turned back to Kalinda and Nisey. He mouthed the words, ‘Damn that was close!’ before returning to his lesson.

  The next half hour seemed surreal to Kalinda as she watched her brother finish the intricate harness on Nisey and begin the suspension process aspect of the lesson. Even though she was standing nearly naked in front of her first master and her current one, she found herself mesmerized by Caelan’s deft movements as he twisted and wrapped the rope around her friend. In the background she could hear the muttered words of what she assumed were plots of revenge for her ‘daring’ this evening, but she couldn’t dredge up the effort to be worried. Instead she was wondering what it would feel like to have the crop applied to her ass while suspended like her friend was. The idea of being helpless but held tightly by the rope while Josh wielded the crop to her ass while Dominic tugged on her nipples had her not only panting but shivering with intense excitement.

  She hadn’t thought shibari would be this erotic when she’d agreed to let Nisey and Caelan demonstrate for her. She’d planned on doing this to satisfy a need that Dominic had, but now she couldn’t decide which was more erotic, the movements of the actual binding or the dreamy expression on Nisey’s face. Was this how she looked when she approached subspace?

  When her brother tied the final knot and Nisey was suspended several feet off the ground, Caelan turned to her. “She’s in subspace now, Brat.” Caelan’s voice was hoarse and his chest, now uncovered, was beaded with sweat. “Do you see how erotic it is for a man, a Dom, to both create and witness this? Do you understand now why Master Dominic craves this?”

  She nodded wordlessly before licking her lips.

  He gave a sigh of relief. One objective accomplished, “Now unless you want to see your friend climax…?”

  “Please, Caelan...” Kalinda knew that it might make her brother a bit uncomfortable, but she really needed to see everything that her friend got out of the bondage. She had to see this through to the conclusion.

  “All right.” Without turning to the men sitting behind them, he called both of them over. When Dominic and Josh stood on either side of Kalinda, he told them in a low voice what he wanted them to do. “Once Nisey climaxes, I want you two to get Kalinda’s ass out of here. I may not have an issue with doing this, but I’ll be damned if I fuck my slave in front of her best friend. Do you understand?” His words told Kalinda how close her brother was to the edge of his formidable control. Between the planned revenge, then Josh showing up, and finally controlling the entire scene her brother had reached his personal limits.

  Both men nodded while Kalinda wondered how long it would take her friend to actually reach climax when Caelan had done nothing remotely sexual to her suspended body. She was shocked when all her brother had to do was reach out, slide his fingers under the rope trailing down her belly and give it a gentle tug.

  “Now, sclábhaí, give me what’s my due as your Master. Come for me.” The stern command in Caelan’s voice had her own clit tingling when Nisey gave a soft moan before what was obviously a slowly building deep climax rippled out of her friend, affecting all present.

  Kalinda’s breath came faster as she watched her friend’s eyes open. She wasn’t surprised when Nisey sighed her ‘thanks’ to Caelan. Kalinda opened her mouth to say something else but her world suddenly spun as she found herself hoisted over Dominic’s shoulder like a sack of potatoes. The left cheek of her ass burned when Josh gave it a solid smack before Dominic strode from the room, leaving the other man to pick up her discarded dress from the playroom floor.

  “You are in so much trouble, chérie.” The harsh desire in his voice had her pussy tingling and her mouth whimpering. It was the dark promise of his res
ponse to her whimper which had her creaming her thong. “For your blatant teasing, not only am I going to punish you, so is your former Master.”

  She opened her mouth to plead with him, but stopped abruptly when he smacked her ass.

  “You were warned, slave, about your impulsiveness. Maybe next time you’re tempted to try something like this you’ll remember this night and decide against it.”

  All she could do is moan inwardly. Like hell I will.

  * * * *

  The journey from the playroom to her apartment went faster than Kalinda expected but after her little show, she wasn’t surprised when Dominic took the stairs two at a time. Even from her undignified position over his shoulder, she couldn’t stop her heart from pounding. From her vantage point when he stopped at the top of the stairs, she could see Josh following them. With his midnight blue eyes blazing with familiar desire, she couldn’t help but swallow against the lump in her throat.

  She knew Dominic wouldn’t let the other man hurt her, but being hurt wasn’t her issue. Her past failure at satisfying Josh was. Even as much as she wanted to, she knew she was incapable of satisfying him. What the hell had she gotten herself into? She shouldn’t have tempted them when she knew she wasn’t capable of fulfilling both men’s needs but it was too late now - she had to try.

  She gave a muffled groan when her sensitive nipples brushed over him, as Dominic slid her off his shoulder. As soon as her feet touched the floor, he pushed her through the door to her apartment. She immediately dropped to knees in front of him when he followed her in. If anyone had told her earlier this morning she’d be naked - other than the several yards of nylon rope wrapped around her body - in the center of her living room, with two dominant but highly aroused men, she would’ve asked what the hell they were smoking.

  Lowering her head, she stared at the hard wood floor. She could hear Josh enter behind Dominic. It took all of her considerable willpower to keep her eyes down.

  “Bedroom, slave.” Dominic’s command had her scrambling to obey. She was vastly aware of Dominic’s commanding presence behind her. Rushing inside, she dropped to her knees next to the foot of her full-size bed. The thud of the door shutting had her freezing. Keeping her head lowered she waited for her master’s command or touch. When none came, she finally peeked through her eyelashes. Both fear and uncertainty filled her when she realized she was utterly alone in her bedroom with the door firmly shut. What had have I done? Why did they leave me?
