Ridin' Red

Drusilla opened her mouth to say something then shut it quickly again.
“You’ve come here after storming out of the hotel room and disturbed my birthday celebration. I asked you not to come here. Why can’t you just be happy? You act as if you have a fucking stick up your ass.”
“Looks to me as if you’re the one who’s had something in her ass. You’re not only here with one man, I’m told, but with two. What the hell are you, a nymphomaniac?”
Anastasia fell into a peal of laughter, and Drusilla’s expression was laughable.
“What the hell are you laughing at? Stop laughing at me,” Drusilla said.
“I’m not laughing at you. I’m laughing at your choice of word. If I’m a nympho, I will take that role on gladly. I’ve never been happier with Lucien and Bruno. I plan to keep being happy, and if it means I’m a nympho, then get used to it.”
“Ana, please. Just come back with me. We don’t need anyone else.”
“That’s where you’re wrong. We do need others. You act like a repressed prude.”
“I’m not a prude.”
“Prove that to me. Stay here and find someone to have a fantasy with.”
“I … I … can’t Ana.”
“Can’t or won’t, Dru? There are plenty of men here at the club who are solo and wouldn’t mind a beautiful woman on their arms. There are even women here who’d take a go at you.” The light that lit Dru’s eyes when she said women gave her pause. Bingo. Her sister wasn’t as uptight as she’d always thought she was. Her sister liked women. There was nothing at all wrong with that.
“I can’t,” Dru said again.
“I’m sure that Flora wouldn’t mind sharing a fantasy or two with you.”
“Fuck no! Keep her away from me.”
Ana watched Drusilla squirm in her chair. She’d let it drop for a bit.
“Dru, reconsider what I said about Cinda. That is the one thing I want you to do. No more of this anger over something that should never have been our fight. Please, I beg of you as my sister.”
Drusilla’s shoulders sagged. “Okay, okay. I’ll think about it.”
Anastasia got up quickly and wrapped her arms around Drusilla and hugged her tight.
“Oh thank you, thank you!”
“I said I’d think about it, Ana,” Dru warned.
“I know, but I have faith you will turn around.”
“I may be a lost cause.”
“No way, Dru. We lost our way. I found where my path led, and now it’s your turn to do the same. I say starting with Flora may be the perfect place to be led.”
“What? Why do you keep throwing that woman at me?”
“Dru, you and I both know that you’re physically able to have had her tied up. You’re in martial arts. Don’t tell me that she at about 5’5” overtook you and your 5’10”.” Anastasia watched as Dru’s cheeks turned pink.
“I didn’t want to hurt her.”
“There’s no way you would have hurt her. You and I both know it. How I never realized that you were into women is beyond me.”
Drusilla growled. “I don’t like that woman.”
“You could have fooled me. Like I said, you have to prove it to me.”
“Ana, I have nothing to prove.”
“So you say. Well, at any rate, it’s my birthday, and my guys and I were about to have cake before you decided to crash the place. Want to come and have some and meet Lucien and Bruno?”
“Sure, why not.” Drusilla shrugged. “Is Cinda here?”
“She may be, but I’ve been a bit busy.”
Drusilla gave an unladylike snort and for the first time a smile spread across her face.
“I’m sorry for everything I’ve said to you.” Drusilla spoke softly.
“I’m sorry too. We have a lot to work out, but one day at a time works for me.”
“Yes, one day at a time. Sounds like a wonderful plan.”
Anastasia undid the binding tape from Drusilla’s legs first and then her hands. Drusilla massaged her wrists. This could have turned out a lot worse, so she would believe that everything would work out in the end. She would make sure that she put in for Dru’s fantasy if Drusilla didn’t.
“Come and have some cheesecake with me. We have a lot to celebrate, new beginnings for one thing and new desires that have been awakened.”
“Ana, please … stop, nothing has been awakened.”
“Keep on saying that like you believe it. Come, the cheesecake I’m told is divine. I hope you don’t mind the semi-dressed people and very nude people.”
“If you can take it, I can take it.”
“Well then, let’s go.” She held her hand out to Drusilla and once she took it she led her out of the suite towards her men. When they arrived back at the table, she had to hold back the laughter that was bubbling up. At the table sat Luc, Bruno, and Flora. She had to tug her sister forward and into the chair next to Flora.
The men stood. Lucien spoke up first.
“Everything okay?”
“Everything is fine, Luc. Drusilla has decided to celebrate my birthday with us and have some cheesecake. Glad you could join us, Flora.”
The blonde smiled back. “Lucien and Bruno were kind enough to give me a drink after my little skirmish.” Flora’s gaze was directed at Drusilla who shifted in her seat yet said nothing. Then her cheesecake was brought to the table along with a large bottle of champagne, and she stopped focusing on what that gaze meant. Besides, that was for Drusilla to deal with. She clapped her hands in excitement as everyone at the table sang happy birthday.

Later that evening, tangled in the sheets in between her lovers, she sighed contentedly, her head on Lucien’s chest and Bruno’s head on her shoulder. This was how everything should be. She was happy, and now was the time to let them know how much.
“Lucien and Bruno, I love you. You’ve brought so much to my life, thank you.”
Bruno kissed her shoulder, and Lucien kissed her on the mouth.
“I love you and Bruno as well, my sweet. I know I hurt you before. For that I’m sorry.”
“No, don’t be. It had to happen. I needed to grow up. I wouldn’t have been ready for this, for us then.”
“You’re so generous with your forgiveness and your love, Red.”
“I just know that there isn’t time for regrets anymore. I don’t want to regret anything. What happened with Cinda is proof enough of how things can fester.”
“I love you both as well,” Bruno said. “Lucien came into my life when I thought I wasn’t ever going to find someone to love. Through his eyes I fell for you, Ana. Our family is complete.”
“Until, that is, we decide to have children. Then we will be truly complete.” Anastasia said. “I want children with the both of you. Two is a nice round number. I want one child from you, Lucien, and one child from you, Bruno.”
“Red, you couldn’t have made us any happier or made us feel any luckier than you have in this moment. Thank you.”
“Yes, my sweet Ana, thank you.”
They all hugged each other tight. Several kisses later, Anastasia discerned that their lives would never be the same, and that’s how she loved it. She couldn’t wait to see Doc Fairee to thank him for her second chance. Love would keep them together, trust would make sure they stayed that way, and the kink would bind them tightly.
