Scorched

by Tom Speed

  “Mistress, if I did that to you, I would expect that our relationship is over. The disrespect and loss of trust would be very difficult to overcome,” Josh says and looks at Dominic.

  “Slave, I would tend to agree with him. I got to witness it firsthand and she had no regard for you nor my orders that day. Besides, have you heard from her since you got home? It’s been all over the news, yet she hasn’t tried to reach out and make sure you’re okay.”

  Kelly frowns and pulls on the sheets between her legs. She knows they’re right and she probably already has a Mistress at the club, but it hurts to know that she walked away after being together for several years. It makes Kelly feel like she meant nothing to this girl, who she took under her wing and assisted her in learning about the lifestyle. She showed Beth how BDSM could pull her out of the darkness and become her outlet. Now it’s all gone in a flash.

  Kelly lays back in the bed, while the men cover her with their limbs. Josh props his head in his hand and asks for more information about the asshole. He’s hoping that will shift gears for her.

  “When the DA called the other day, he said they need to have dental records to ID most of the bodies. It’s such a sad story. All those women being preyed upon for their desires in the lifestyle and this creep took what they loved and used it against them. He would lure them in with his charms and show them a good time, before going all psycho and slash them until they begged for death. He used that as justification in his own sick and twisted mind.”

  Josh shivers and cringes, his eyes shut tightly. He knows that if her friend had not gotten there when he did, she wouldn’t be here with them now. He grabs her tight, almost knocking Dominic off the bed.

  “I’m sorry, Mistress. I wish I could have been there to help. I promise to devote myself to you, my beautiful Mistress. I will protect you, my love!”

  “We will!” Dominic states and gives Josh a look.

  Josh recoils and nods before saying, “Yes, we will both take care of you. We will do whatever it takes to ensure this never happens again.”

  “I know you will, pet. And thank you both, as you have been such a big help over the last few weeks. Not only are my exterior wounds healing, but you have filled my heart and helped me feel loved again. Thank you!”

  “It’s our pleasure to be here and I know I speak for the two of us, we care a lot about you!” Dominic states.

  Kelly grins from ear to ear, pulling them both closer. “Just hold me for a while. I’ll need to go see Beth later, so I can get closure.”

  “We understand and will get some things cleaned up around here for you. We want you to feel relaxed and comfortable. Please, don’t worry about a thing. We got this.” Dominic states and eyes Josh.

  Josh’s eyes get wide, having a feeling that he will be cleaning the apartment, while Dominic watches and supervises. He’s not sure if that excites him or makes him nervous. He’s unsure how the three will work out this kind of relationship. He already has some jealousy about Dominic, and it would burn his world down if she said he couldn’t submit to her. Can they work this out? Will they leave her to live by herself or need someone to move in and take care of her? Protect her. Would she prefer Dominic over a submissive man?

  Many thoughts run through Josh’s head while he cuddles his Mistress and is only inches away from her dominant. He closes his eyes and inhales deeply. He then clears his head as he knows that it isn’t up to him. Kelly will have to be the one who decides if she wants someone to live with her. There’re too many things that are up in the air and it is driving Josh insane. He really wants to move in and be here for her. He’d clean the apartment every day, pleasuring her after each shift and make sure she’s well cared for. But will she be happy with just a submissive or will she need to be dominated as well? He slides in closer, needing to feel her warmth. He almost lost her once, he can’t bear the thought of losing her for good. His mind clears as he drifts off to sleep, dreaming of his Mistress taming his ass.

  Meanwhile, Dominic relaxes in the bed and slides closer when Kelly motions. She places a finger over his lips and says, “Shhh. He’s asleep. I’m going to get dressed and head out. I got a text from Beth and she’s willing to meet for coffee. I imagine it won’t take too long. Then I’m going to meet up with Bruce.”

  “Check in often. I mean it!”

  “Yes, Sir. Thank you.” Kelly slips off the sheets and plants her feet on the floor, making sure she doesn’t feel dizzy. She gets her clothes on and brushes her hair while gazing at the two men sleeping in her bed. How glorious it would be if they would move in and I can wake up between them in the morning or at least one of them. Will they follow suit and become the dynamic she sees for all of them or would one become jealous of the other. Something she will need to discuss, but only with one at a time.

  She closes the door softly and goes to her car, texting Beth that she’s on her way. She knows how it’s going to end, but a small part of her wants to work it out with her pet of many years.

  Chapter 27

  Beth sits at a small table and runs her hand through her hair before rubbing her hands together. She’s trying to wipe the sweat away as her nervousness increases. She hasn’t seen Kelly since she stormed out and told her to fuck off. She’s not sure why Kelly wants to see her. Is it to get back at her or try to work things out? Though the second is a little late, since she found a new Mistress who was kind enough to let her go out and meet her ex-Mistress. Then she needs to get home, so she can serve her, knowing that she will push her limits and make her do the things that she desires. It’s too bad that Kelly didn’t understand her enough to fill that need. She’s a brat at heart and needs a strong hand to spank her ass often. A constant reminder of who is in charge and push her submission to the surface.

  The new Mistress has been working out, right off the bat. It was like she was looking for a bratty submissive girl to force her will upon and make me do things that I would otherwise be afraid to try. Plus, she’s willing to put me back in my place when I’m a smartass or refuse to follow her directions. The belt or crop comes out immediately and I begin to feel the submission grow and I’m more obedient. Well, for a short time and then I love to push those buttons once again. I know now that it takes a special and patient Mistress to be willing to put up with my antics. Something Kelly has little of, though she was a wonderful dominant. She just wasn’t a perfect match, like this new one is, but each dynamic needs to find their place in the world. You can’t settle if there is someone that fits you like a glove.

  Beth squirms in the chair as her sore ass reminds her that she’s been bad and got the crop last night. She’s still having a bit of trouble finding a comfortable spot to sit in. She’s thankful to see Kelly walk in and stands to greet her with a tight embrace.

  “How are you, Mistress? I’m sorry I didn’t get a chance to check on you. It’s been a busy few weeks for me. I hope you’re not upset with me.”

  “It’s fine, Beth. Thank you for your concern. It’s been a long few weeks for me and I am feeling better now. I’ll admit, I have never been so scared in my life. That fucker had me in a shock collar and used it several times. It was the most terrifying thing I have experienced and I’m happy to still be alive. I have so much to live for, you know?”

  “Yes, Mistress. I couldn’t imagine having to go through all that. I understand he kept cutting you?”

  “Yes. I guess it’s his thing, but luckily Bruce, a guy at my station, was my hero! If it wasn’t for him, I know Devin would have ended my life.”

  “What a piece of shit! I’m so sorry, Kelly,” Beth states and calls her by her first name for the first time in years. It causes Kelly to wrinkle her nose but bites her tongue. She can tell that Beth has another dominant as she would never call her anything but Mistress.

  Kelly takes a moment to calm herself before choking back her emotions. She feels the waterworks building as her emotions are all over the place. It comes down to this, after years of training Beth. She t
urns her gaze as though she’s watching the people who are coming inside, swallowing hard. She fights back the tears and when she is calm again turns her attention back to Beth. “I’m sorry it had to end like this. I assume you have already found another Mistress?”

  “Yes,” it’s Beth’s turn to look away as she feels tears filling her eyes. She tries to hide it but begins to sob. “I’m sorry. I didn’t know this was going to be so difficult,” she says between sobs.

  Kelly goes over to her and hugs her as tears slide down her own cheeks. They embrace, allowing they’re emotions to get the best of them. They hold each other until they feel calm again and part. Kelly sits back in her chair, placing a hand on her right knee, “It’s okay. I’m glad you found someone who can fill your desires. I hope you never forget me as I’ll always be here for you.”

  Beth nods as she’s afraid to speak, thinking the waterworks would begin. She’s doing her best to swallow them back while crossing her legs. Her gaze returns to Kelly and she can’t help it, crying again.

  “Look, I’m going to go. I know your Mistress will be waiting for you. Go clean up so you can present yourself to her. I’m always just a phone call away,” Kelly says and places her hand on her shoulder, giving it a squeeze. She almost joins her in the crying when Beth’s hand covers her own. She pulls it away gently and walks out of the coffee shop. She doesn’t look back; it’s time to look to the future as she thinks about the two men in her bed.

  Kelly gets in her car and drives over to Bruce’s house, hoping he’s home so she can talk to him. She really didn’t get a chance to thank him. Once everything settled, her boys swept her off her feet and took her home. The last time she saw Bruce, he was in the ambulance with her, but exhaustion took over and she passed out before reaching the hospital.

  She pulls into his driveway and notices that there are two trucks parked in the driveway. She gets out of her car and walks to the front door, ringing the doorbell; she waits for someone to answer.

  Finally, a young man opens the door and says, “Hi. How can I help you?”

  “I’m looking for Bruce.”

  “Oh, you must be Kelly. I saw you on the news. I’m Bill, his son and…” he pauses and looks on the other side of the door, pulling a girl over to him, “this is Jen.”

  “It’s really nice to meet you Bill. I’ve heard a lot about you.”

  “I hope all good,” Bill replies and chuckles.

  Kelly puts her hand out and shakes Jen’s hand, “It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

  “Nice meeting you,” Jen states and gets pulled closer to Bill.

  Kelly walks in and has a glance around the room before turning towards the two behind her and notices that he has her hands pinned behind her back. She grins and looks away, knowing what they are up too. It runs in the family, I see.

  She continues into the house and without turning around asks, “Where’s your dad?”

  “He’s in the kitchen. Just turn down that hall,” Bill states and pulls Jen along. He tickles her sides and watches her squirm. He finally palm gags her when she gets loud.

  Jen looks up with eyes wide and then back to the visitor, trying to hint to Bill that she isn’t comfortable. He releases her and gives her a poke in the side making her hop away. He whispers, “She didn’t see anything, relax. Besides, I want you ready for later. I have plans for you in the cabin.”

  “Hey there, stranger. How are you feeling?”

  “I’m doing a lot better. The cuts are healing well, thanks for asking. I’m sorry it took me this long to come by and see you.”

  “No worries, I knew you needed your rest. I was waiting a few more days and then I was coming to look for you.”

  Bruce smiles, standing up and hugs her tight. “It’s good seeing your smile. You looked pretty beaten up the last time I laid eyes on you.”

  “I feel like a pin cushion, but thanks to you, I am alive and well. There’s no way I could ever thank you enough.”

  “I’m just glad I got there in time, Kelly. He looked like he was about to do something horrible.”

  “Right before you broke open the door, he slid the knife across my neck. I thought it was all over, but he had the dull side against my skin.”

  Bruce looks at her eyes wide with his mouth dropping open. “Was he about to…”

  “I don’t think so. I believe he would have dragged it out for at least another day or two. According to the detective he enjoys the women’s misery. I am very lucky you came when you did. I head butted him just before and I think he was about to turn the heat up a notch.”

  When Bruce’s shock wears off, he finds his voice and says, “I can only imagine what that prick would do next. He’s some work of art. It sounds like he’ll never see the light of day again, though.”

  “If the art is part of some nightmare. I heard the same. He’s killed at least 11 girls, but it’s possibly more than that. They have talked to a judge and asked for the death penalty. If you ask me, I think that’s too easy for him,” Kelly then bites her lip as Bill and Jen come into the room.

  “I know what you mean, but it doesn’t work that way. So, I guess you met my son and his…. umm, friend.”

  “Yes, he introduced himself.”

  “He’s top of his class at the academy and is doing pretty well in college too. I couldn’t be prouder of him.”

  “That’s great. Congratulations. It’s not easy to be at the top of your class.”

  “Thank you. Though, I wish dad would let me quit college and just go straight into the fire department.”

  “Well, you wouldn’t have met Jen if I let you do that.”

  “Okay, you got me there. I don’t know what I’d do without her.”

  Kelly sees Jen blush a bright color red and then bury her head into his chest. She watches as he grabs her two wrists into one of his hands and holds her tight. The two love bugs seem happy and must be experiencing their kinks somewhere. Kelly can’t imagine that they would be able to play here with the parents and sister around. She almost breaks out laughing when Bill turns her around and gives her ass a hard slap. He pulls her out of the room, whispering something into her ear. Kelly gives Bruce a glance, but he’s still watching the two exiting. She wants to say something but figures it’s best to let dad figure things out. He must know by their actions that they are very kinky.

  “So, anyway!” Bruce says and looks at Kelly.

  “I really want to thank you. I know I keep saying it but now I know how Victoria felt. She couldn’t stop saying ‘thank you’.”

  “You’re very welcome! I’m glad you are feeling better. I hope things on your side are improving. You know, the lifestyle.”

  “It’s complicated,” she says and laughs, “but not as complicated as it was an hour ago.”

  “Yeah?”

  “I had to sit Beth down and we both realized that it wasn’t going to work out between the two of us. She had already found a new Mistress, so that’s cool.”

  “Kelly! I can see it in your eyes, it hurts knowing she’s moved on.”

  “It does hurt, but it’s for the best. She’ll be happier, and I will in time. How about you?” Kelly asks as Joyce comes into the kitchen.

  Kelly grins from ear to ear as she notices the collar around her neck. She winks at Bruce and figures things must be going well. She bites her lower lip and then goes to hug Joyce. She whispers, “Congrats on the beautiful collar.”

  “Thank you. I’ve had it a long time, but it’s nice to be wearing it again.”

  “It looks beautiful on you. Well, I really should head home. My guys will be worrying and looking for me if I don’t return soon.”

  “It’s good seeing you, Kelly. I hope all is getting better after that horrible ordeal,” Joyce says.

  “I’m feeling a lot better, thanks for asking.”

  “When will you return to work?”

  “I should be back in a week or so. It gives me some time to figure shit out in my head and then I’ll be bi
ting at the bit to come back.”

  “Well, you can do that in the comfort of your home or the club.”

  “Bruce! Leave the poor girl alone.”

  Kelly laughs and tells her that it’s alright. “It is true, though. I could be wearing a bit gag at home, but I wouldn’t at work. Okay, on that note, I’m going to scram.”

  Bruce walks her out and gives her a tight embrace. “Let me know if you need anything.”

  “Thanks, I will. You have done plenty!”

  “I’ll see you at work soon, Kelly.”

  “Yes, you will. Take care and good luck with Bill.”

  Bruce gives her a knowing look; he figured she would notice the same things he did about the young couple. He shrugs and then turns to go back inside. Kelly leaves with a big smile on her face. It’s nice to be around kinky people. You don’t need to feel like you have to hide who you really are. Now it’s time to figure out the mess in my life. I need two men, but I’m not sure if they will agree to it. Only one way to find out and the first person to ask will be my Master.
