Second Chances

by Kitty Berry

  “Mmm Hmmm. I’m sure she was. I’ll talk to you later, Nix.”

  Phoenix stops me from heading back to Pete’s flat. He refuses to let me go until I explain what’s bothering me. I finally give in, knowing I won’t win this fight with him any easier than I would with Pete, them being cut from the same cloth. I tell Nix that I called my parents and they told me that Pete came looking for me and was pissed off when he found out I bolted.

  “Did you hear from him recently? I don’t know if I’m ready to face him yet, I’m not ready to explain. I don’t know, maybe I am. God, I sound like a teenager. Just forget I came over here. I’m sorry I said anything. It’s just…I have this feeling that he’s here in London already. I don’t know. Pete and I have always had this really weird connection like that. We always know what the other is thinking or about to say. I get this weird feeling sometimes when I’m about to run into him. It’s crazy though, childish. Forget I mentioned it.”

  Nix takes me into his arms and ushers me into his flat. He turns to address Emily who is still standing in the doorway. “I had a smashing time. I’ll see you around soon, love.”

  I look at her and shrug as if to say, “Really? How did you think your one-night-stand with him was going to end?” Phoenix Doyle is a sexual Dominant much like Pete. But the difference is, Nix has no desire to be with just one woman. Nix likes lots of submissive women and when given the choice, which he usually is, he prefers to have a different one each time.

  February 2014

  Pete

  I stretch my legs when I awake after my nine and a half hour flight to find the older lady in the next seat looking at me with a flustered expression painted on her face. “That must have been some dream you were having, young man. If I were twenty years younger” she says before she stands and walks down the aisle to exit the plane with a wink over her shoulder at me.

  I smile to myself, knowing that I’m a Dominant even in my dreams and assuming I probably gave the lady an earful. I stretch again then power up my phone to call Amanda and see if she’s heard from Raina. The call goes straight to voicemail, so I call Nix, but again I get sent to voicemail. I’ve been trying to reach him since I got the hunch that Raina was there, but Nix hasn’t answered any of my calls. He’s probably got a sub or two on his hands, I just hope that Nix’s hands are nowhere near Raina. Nix is a great guy and loyal to his friends until there’s a hot piece of ass involved, then, in Nix’s world, all bets are off and it’s every man for himself.

  Unable to reach Nix and ask for a ride, I jump in the first taxi I can find. I give the driver the address and throw my bags into the backseat. In less than an hour I’m on my way up a flight of stairs to the flat that is now mine, was and still should be Todd’s. Instead of riding up in the private elevator, I took the stairs to help clear my mind.

  I put the key in the lock and turn it, the click sounding loud in the quiet of the hallway but then I hear a familiar sound. It’s her laugh, the one that sends my body into overdrive. But what is she doing making that sweet sound for someone else? And who is that someone else? “Fuck,” I mutter under my breath. “Damn you, Phoenix Doyle.”

  I push into the entranceway of the flat and drop my bags on the floor. I’m preparing myself for the worst, picturing Raina naked with her legs on Nix’s shoulder while he plows into her. I imagine myself ripping him off her and pounding him into the floor.

  I walk into the main living space to find Raina alone on the sofa watching a movie on the flat screen. She turns when she feels my presence, knowing before she sees that it’s me. “What the fuck, Raina? Wait. No, don’t even answer me. Seriously, just…what the fuck were you thinking?”

  “Hi, Pete.”

  “Hi, Pete?” And that’s when I go over the edge. I storm over to her making it in two strides. I effortlessly lift and fling her over my shoulder. I think she asks me what I’m doing, might even have asked me to put her down. Who the fuck knows or cares? Not me. Right now, I need to do this, not just for me, but for her as well. She needs to know that I’m in control as much as I need to be in control.

  I reach the bedroom, slam through the door, and throw her down on the bed. I pull her sweatpants and panties off in one pull and flip her over my knee. Before she can protest or process what’s about to happen, my hand makes the first contact with her bare ass.

  “Oww…that fucking hurts, Pete.”

  “Good. Maybe it’ll help you learn a lesson, Princess. You don’t run away from me. Last time you did, it nearly ruined both of our lives. Now no more talking or this is going to go on longer.”

  My hand makes contact a few more times and before I speak again my hand is sore and her ass is red. I’m not going easy on her but she’s taking it like a seasoned sub. I can feel her arousal on my leg and her body heat raises. She pants and writhers on my legs, pliant and climbing toward her release. She’s responding perfectly and it’s driving me wild.

  I growl, then a moan escapes me before I can speak. “I understand you’re scared. I am too. I know you’re upset over Todd. God, Raina, don’t you think I’m devastated over losing him? It doesn’t mean you run from me. You need to learn to lean on me. Let me take care of you.”

  I spank her a few more times but stop when I hear her voice.

  “Pete, you’re going to make me come.”

  Music to my ears. “Yes, come for me. Right now, Princess. Let it all go.”

  Raina’s orgasm crashes over her and as she screams out my name in a combination of pain and pleasure, her body twisting over my knee, Nix barges through the door like a man on a mission. He stops when he sees it’s me then allows his eyes to roam over Raina’s naked body still trembling from her climax. He raises his eyebrows at me, and after another look at Raina, he smirks and says, “Hey, Pete. I see you’ve found your naughty little girl. Mind if I watch?”

  “Yes, I fucking mind. Get the fuck out, man.”

  Then I hear Raina’s voice, quiet and apprehensive. “Pete? What if he…”

  “What? What if he what? Stayed and watched? Do you really think all he wants to do is watch? Is this what you’ve been doing here all this time? Letting him watch?”

  Nix interrupts as I cover Raina’s body with my own as best as I can in the position we’re in. “I promise mate. You know you’re interested in how far you can push her. I know you want to see her limits as much as you need air to breathe. I promise I’ll sit over there. I won’t touch her. It’s the first step to see where you can take this. She’s game, are you really going to be the one to say no?”

  “How the fuck would you know if she’s game or not?”

  I see the look they share and it becomes clear why she came here. She wasn’t running from me, she wasn’t pissed about the fact that I closed her out during Todd’s last days. She came here for me, came here to learn how to please me as my sub.

  “We’ve talked about her submissive side and what it means. I’ve taken her to Sensations. She wants to explore this with you, wouldn’t let me touch her. I let her watch some scenes to see what got her off,” Nix’s hands fly in front of him in a defensive stance. “I made the other Doms think she was mine, don’t worry. I protected her, made sure she was safe. We have plans to go to the club later tonight. She was going to watch a scene like what I’m suggesting, but now that we’re here, why not give it a go?” he shrugs.

  I have mixed emotions. My head is spinning, and for the first time in my sex life, I can’t decide, don’t feel in control. I take a deep breath to steady myself then I sit up straighter and my Dominant side returns. “This is how this is going to go down. I’m in control. Me, not you,” I warn Nix. “You listen to me, you do what I say. You stay right there in that chair and you don’t move unless I say you can. Got it? And if she changes her mind or wants it to end at any time, you leave. No questions asked, no discussion. Do we understand each other?”

  No Dominant is ever happy about succeeding his power to another, but Nix agrees. “Yeah, I got it” he grumbles
.

  I turn to Raina to be sure she wants this and not just agreeing to something she thinks I want, something she thinks will distract me from the fact that I’m ripping pissed about her taking off on me again. And now even more pissed to learn the real reason she did it. She came here to learn about my lifestyle from another man. She experimented with her desires under the guidance of another man. Both of these acts are going to earn her the punishment of her life later, but first, I’m intrigued to see how this plays out.

  “You sure you want to do this? This kind of scene can change things; you might regret it later, Raina. We can’t go back and undo it. I’ll admit, he’s right. I want to see where we can take this, how far your limits go, but only if you’re ready. And I’m not happy that he heard about this before I did. We’ll discuss that later when I have you alone. And I plan to punish you hard for it, I promise you that.”

  “I want to, Pete. And I know what I’ve earned. He warned me,” she says and I shoot a look in Doyle’s direction. “I’ll take it like a big girl. But I have thought about a scenario like this for a while. I didn’t know how to ask without making you mad. I don’t want you to think I want another guy, any guy and Nix and I are just friends. Always have been just friends.”

  “Oh, Princess. I think you’re incredible. I’m pissed about how you went about it, but how could I be mad at you for wanting this? I can’t share you though, not yet. I need some time to let this all sink in, get used to the idea, explore it slowly with you. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to share you, but I’d like to see where we can take this. It can be a very erotic experience as you must know by now. If you change your mind or you want to stop, you want him to leave, you tell me, and it’s done. Understand? No questions and I won’t be mad.”

  She nods and smiles shyly. I return her smile and sit her on my lap. I cover her mouth with mine and kiss her deep and long. She moans into my mouth and her body begins to grind into me, looking for attention while it softens under my touch. I grip her in my arms, stand, and then place her on the bed. When I look into her eyes they’re already glazing over, her descent beginning. “Lay there and let us look at you for a minute. I want him to see how perfect you are. Hold still” I command.

  Raina lays perfectly still and I hear Nix’s breath catch in his throat.

  “Have you ever seen her naked before?” I ask Nix, already knowing the answer.

  “Yeah. At the club. She masturbated in one of the private rooms with the two-way mirrors. She was never sure until now if I watched or not.”

  “Has she ever gone under for you, for anyone else?”

  “No. Not even close. It’s amazing how fast she just did for you. Your voice alone does the trick on her, mate. Beautiful.”

  I growl at him then look at Raina. I want to scold her there and then, punish her, but she has the expression of the perfect sub on her face, all soft and willing, compliant and ready. Her deep, burnt-red curls spread out around her like a magical halo, begging me to run my fingers through them, fist them in my grip and tug just enough so she feels the pull, a pinch of pain. Her tight breasts have a rosy hue covering them and her nipples have grown into hard little pebbles, so pink and aching for my teeth to nip them.

  I roll my tongue over them one at a time, wetting them. I let the air mix with the moisture I leave behind, watching as they somehow grow even tighter. When she arches into me, looking for my mouth again, I lower my head and take first one then the other nipple. I suckle them with a strong grip then I take them in my teeth and give her the nip she needs to take her to the next level. Her body’s response tells me it does just that. Raina has found her special place. “Good girl” I reward her.

  Her bare pussy is closed tight but a glistening sheen is already evident on the surface. I run the tip of my finger down one side and up the other; she shivers from the contact, sighs and relaxes every muscle in her body.

  “Fuck, she’s more than perfect. You know you’re going to have to let me wank off” Nix says from his perch on the chair.

  “Is that what you did when you watched her? Tell her” I order him.

  “No. I took a cute subbie girl into the room with me. As soon as Raina started working herself, I pulled the sub onto my lap and let her ride me as I watched over her shoulder while Raina got herself off.”

  “Tell her who really got you off, man. Her or the girl you were fucking?”

  “You did, Raina. I came in the chick on my cock, but it was most definitely you that got me off” Nix admits as his hand strokes the bulge in his trousers.

  I nod at Nix and as he begins to unzip, I lean in close to Raina and whisper in her ear. “Did you hear him? You made him come when he watched you. He wants to watch you while he makes himself come now. Just looking at you made him so hard that he needs this, Raina. That’s the effect you have on men. Does that turn you on, Princess? Because as much as it pisses me off that every man alive wants you, it also makes me as hot as fucking hell knowing that they do.”

  She moans and leans her body into me. I feel the heat and arousal emanating from her and it spikes my own arousal.

  I glance at Nix. He’s sitting in the seat where I told him he had to remain. He’s removed his shirt and trousers and is now naked with his sizable erection in hand, pumping it slowly, running his thumb over the wet head. His head falls back on a moan then he motions with his hands, asking me to have Raina open her legs for him.

  “Open your legs, Princess. I missed the taste of your sweet pussy almost as much as I missed you” I say.

  The tip of my tongue runs up her opening and she shivers at the contact. Her body arches off the bed and her hands cling to my hair. I swirl my tongue around her clit a few times and moan when I hear Nix grunt, knowing he’s pumping his dick in his hand and getting closer to a release.

  “Fuck, she’s so responsive, Pete. I’ve never seen her like this. You’re about to make her come.”

  “Mmmm. She’s so sweet. Never tasted better.”

  I stop just short of taking her over the cliff to her orgasm. I let her edge first and I smile as she moans in frustration. She looks at me and glances nervously in the direction of Phoenix. “Go ahead, Princess. You can look at him. See what you’re doing to him. You’ve made him as hard as you’ve made me” I say and grab her wrist, dragging her hand to my cock.

  As Raina’s attention is drawn to Phoenix masturbating for her, I remove my pants and slide between her legs. I enter her in one smooth push, her body already primed and ready for me. A soft sigh slips from her lips and her gaze returns to me and locks with mine. “I love you” I mouth silently to her and she returns the sentiment before pulling me to her lips. My tongue finds hers as it enters her mouth.

  “Pete, I’m coming” she moans into our kiss.

  “Say it again so he hears you, Princess,” I demand. “Tell him what I’m doing to you; it’ll get him off so hard, baby. He’s dangling right on the edge.”

  She complies without hesitation. “Fuck, I’m coming! Nix, he’s making me come!”

  “So fucking beautiful, love. I’m right there with you. Just need to see you come first” Nix says through gritted teeth, trying his best to hold off.

  I grunt as my body pulses with my impending orgasm and watch Raina come under me, I feel her pussy constrict around me. I hear Nix’s last grunt as he comes with her.

  “Fuck, coming now. Christ” Nix breathlessly moans.

  Raina’s tongue runs over my earlobe and that’s my undoing. I come hard and long inside her with a sound like an animal in the wild. Tingles run up and back down my spine. My balls tighten and explode sending my release deep inside her.

  Nix smiles at us as he pulls up his trousers. “Well, I think tonight at the club has a lot more potential then I originally thought. I’ll grab a shower then we’ll head out. Make sure she wears the collar I gave her, mate. This isn’t the States you know.”

  With that, Phoenix is gone. He leaves out of the same door he entered, moving as
quickly to leave as he had when he barged in.

  March 2009

  Pete

  As spring is approaching even the guys have had enough of my shenanigans. Todd is head over heels in love with Amanda and can’t for a minute understand the shit I’m pulling with Raina when he clearly knows I love her. He drags my ass for a run, and about a mile and a half in, he stops and grabs me by the collar of my shirt, surprising me almost off my feet.

  “What the fuck, man?” I demand as I push him off me.

  “I’m sick of this shit with you and Raina and I don’t need Amanda bitching at me about you two anymore. Man up, Roman, and admit what this is all about.”

  I shrug like a man with nowhere else to hide, knowing full well he’s on to me. “Fine,” I state. “Fine. What do you want me to say? That I fucking love her? That I don’t want to be with anyone else but her? That I’ve been the biggest dick on the face of the earth to her, for God knows why, and now I don’t know what to do to fix it? Okay, yeah, fine, all those things, man. I fucking love her and I don’t know what the fuck to do.”

  Todd smirks at me then says in his cocky tone, “Well, that’s a start.”

  Todd makes me fess up to my fears that Raina will resent me one day if I’m the reason she stays in Florida instead of pursuing her career in modeling in New York, Rome, Milan…anywhere but our small pathetic town. The town I guess I’m planning on staying in and making a go at my dad’s old business. The business I feel obligated to run in his memory.

  I admit that at first, yeah it was about my ego. All those girls throwing themselves at me went to my head. Any guy would have reacted the same way. I knew I could have any of them, which I did, have them…all of them, each and every last one. And keep Raina on the side, all to myself, just for me. I did that too and didn’t see the double standard I was creating. It was fine for me to be with other girls, but Raina? Fuck, no! I couldn’t even consider the thought of her letting some other guy touch her. If she did, I would have lost my mind. I liked knowing that things with her were private, that she was all mine…just mine.
