Fuck. They were almost there. She was almost ready to tell them. Patience. That was all they needed now. He took a long breath, banishing the need to ask her to talk. She would talk when she was ready. Tonight. After they took her to the suite and got her firmly in between them, she would tell them everything and they could truly start their lives together. But for now, he would show her how they could worship her body.
“Do you think anyone’s behind the mirror?” Nicole asked as Josh started undoing the laces of her corset.
“I think the minute we locked that door, a light went on letting all those perverts know something’s going down in here,” Josh whispered.
“Baby, if you want, there’s a button I can push that shields us from the two-way.” He had to let her know all the options.
“Spoilsport,” Josh said, never letting up on his slow undressing of their sub.
She wasn’t wearing much. She looked absolutely luscious. The royal blue corset offered her breasts up and the tiny matching thong split her ass cheeks in a way that made his mouth water.
“I’m fine,” Nic assured him. “I…kind of like the idea people might be watching. But only because I know they like it. They aren’t judging me. They think sex is normal and natural, and as long as we’re all okay with it we should have fun.”
This was more than fun, but he wouldn’t argue with her. She was new to this and she would find her way. “Absolutely no one will judge you here. This is a completely safe space for us to explore.”
“No one’s going to call me a whore here. Is that what you’re saying?” Nic asked, sighing as the corset relaxed around her body.
“Arms up.” Josh eased the corset up her torso and off. “No one is going to call you a whore period. Not without some punishment.”
“I don’t care, Josh.” She frowned and turned around, but not before Grim saw a mulish expression cross her face. “I was joking, but you can’t punish Alyssa. I don’t care about her.”
“I’ll fire her if I want to,” Josh replied.
Oh, things were heating up, and he was here for it. He didn’t have to say a word. Just stand back and let the sparks fly.
“No, you won’t because she didn’t do it to you. She did it to me, so I get to say what…” Nicole gasped as Josh picked her up. “What are you doing?”
“I think you know what I’m doing, baby.” Josh stalked to the spanking bench. “I’m taking care of business.”
Grim grabbed his rope. It was time for him to join in. “You woke up the beast, darlin’.”
“But I’m right,” Nic protested. “It wasn’t a big deal. It was some words.”
A loud smack sounded through the room and Nicole yelped. Yeah, Grim was pretty sure Josh had meant that one. Nicole’s head came up as he spanked her again.
“Josh,” she began.
Grim knelt down. “Baby, you’re arguing with your Doms about your protection in the middle of a club during a scene where you know the rules.”
She winced as she took another smack.
“I will protect you,” Josh said, punctuating each word with a smack. “I will not allow anyone to talk about you the way Alyssa did.”
Tears pierced Nicole’s eyes, and he wasn’t sure it was all about the pain.
“He can’t stop being who he is any more than you can stop being who you are,” Grim said as he held up the rope. “Or I can stop being who I am, as my stepfather found out. Should I tie you down or should we talk?”
She lowered her hands. “Tie me down, and please, Grim, please kiss me. I don’t want either one of you to change. I love you exactly the way you are.”
Josh stopped, and for the first time in all the years they’d spent together, his best friend seemed at a loss for words.
Grim wasn’t. He knew what to say. “We love you exactly the way you are, too.”
He also knew the words he couldn’t say yet. Even if you have a whole life we don’t know about. Even if you’ve got a ton of trouble coming your way.
“Exactly the way you are, Nicole,” Josh said softly.
Grim got to one knee, wrapping the length around her wrist, tying her tight enough she would feel it but not so tight it would cut off her circulation. It was an art form, and he thought he’d found his muse. He moved to her other wrist and when he was done, he stepped back. “She’s not getting away from us.”
“She’s worked that mouth of hers tonight. I think she might need to work it in another way.” Josh stepped over and selected a paddle. “Nicole, do you think you might want to make up for all that brattiness?”
