Gale, Avery - Katarina's Return [The ShadowDance Club 1] (Siren Publishing Ménage Amour)

by Avery Gale

  * * * *

  God, she was just so perfectly adorable when she was flustered. Alex marveled at how revealing her little speech had been. She really was trying to please them, and it showed in her self-examination. They’d been right, she was a submissive down to her toes. He and Zach were going to have to tread carefully, while her nature was that of a true submissive, she had been taking care of herself for a very long time. Further, she’d been raised by a single mother and, to his knowledge, had never had any male authority figure in her life. So suddenly having two very dominant men to answer to was going to take some time and adjustment. Feeling like he would finally be able to speak without betraying his amusement at her little monologue, he finally continued. “Well, let’s review what’s happened and which of those things Zach and I consider punishable offenses. First, you are correct about the panties and shoes, that has earned you five swats.”

  While Alex was talking to Kat, Zach had moved her feet shoulder width apart and had been moving his fingers slowly through her damp heat, he looked up and over Kat’s delicate shoulder at his brother and smiled.

  Alex knew by Zach’s cheesy grin that Kat’s pussy must have drenched Zach’s fingers when he’d mentioned the five swats, because the smell of her essence was wrapping itself around him. Seems their little sub was more aroused by the thought of punishment than she was frightened, good to know. He continued. “And, yes, even though we knew you and Jenna were planning to make margaritas, we did not know that you planned to drink so much that your decision-making skills would fly straight to the wind.” With a smile he knew didn’t reach his eyes, he said, “Allowing yourself to become so impaired that you’d try to leave the suite against our direct orders that you remain there has earned you five swats, also. Now, I believe you mentioned us not wanting to sleep with you because of your scars.” Alex had deliberately made sure his voice had become more menacing, and judging by Kat’s widened look, she hadn’t missed it. “Don’t ever think we don’t want you. You are also not allowed to devalue what is ours. And don’t doubt for a minute that you are ours, Katarina. Your insult of what belongs to us will cost you an additional two swats. Now, I believe that totals twelve swats. I will begin, and then Zach will provide the last six. Since this is your first spanking, we won’t require you to count them. Now, lie across my lap and let’s get this over with.”

  * * * *

  Kat took an instinctive step back, only to hit the solid wall of Zach’s chest. She was almost panting she was breathing so hard, she was about two heartbeats away from total panic when Zach stepped around her and lifted her chin with the tip of his finger. Waiting until he knew her wide eyes had focused on him, he said, “Kitten, do you think we would ever truly harm you?” After Kat had slowly shaken her head from side to side, he continued. “What’s your safe word, kitten?”

  “Um, it’s ‘red.’”

  “Kat, I know you learned enough about our lifestyle to know how to properly answer a question during a scene. Want to try that again?” Zach still had his finger under her chin, her full focus on his face, his hold was just enough that she’d feel the restriction; it was a small thing, but Zach knew it would help her slip more fully in to the proper mindset.

  “It’s red, Sir.” Kat knew the words had been little more than a whisper, but he seemed satisfied with her answer, he nodded, then stepped back, taking her hand and gently pulling her forward so that before she was fully aware of what he was doing, she found herself laying over Alex’s lap. In another instant, Alex had shifted her forward so that her ass was high in the air, and he’d moved her knees apart so that her pussy was completely exposed. Oh God, she had never felt so vulnerable in her whole life, and the position was embarrassing beyond belief. And then she thought about the fact that there were cameras everywhere, and not only could other people have seen her naked, but now they’d be able to see everything. She began to twist and tried to get back up. “Oh my God, the cameras, they’ll be able to see me, you have to let me up, please, I don’t think I can do this.” She felt so ashamed, she knew her voice was cracking, she felt herself starting to cry, and they hadn’t even started spanking her yet.

  * * * *

  Alex had reacted quickly or Kat would have twisted right off his lap, she’d remembered the cameras quicker than he’d thought she would, but he should have known her mind was too sharp to be distracted so easily. “Be still or you are just going to earn yourself more swats, Katarina. You are not to worry about what anyone else can see, you are to put yourself in our care and trust that we will always do what is in your best interest.” She’d stopped trying to get back up, but he could feel her starting to hyperventilate, time to give her something else to think about.

  * * * *

  The first swat was harder than Kat had expected, and she felt herself gasp in surprise. “Ow, damn it, that hurt!”

  “Well, love, it wouldn’t be much of a punishment if it didn’t hurt, now would it?” Kat wasn’t too sure, but Alex sounded almost amused, boy if that didn’t just about frost her. If he thought she was going to let him beat on her and laugh about it, he was in for a mighty big surprise.

  “Let me up, you can’t hit me and then laugh about it, that’s just, well, it’s just mean.” Kat was starting to get pissed now.

  “First of all, we would never ‘hit’ you, this is a spanking, don’t confuse the two. And I was not laughing at you, love. I was merely pointing out the obvious. Now, if you are quite through being a brat, let’s begin again.” And with that he landed another swat on the other cheek. “One,” Alex called out as he watched her ass blush beautifully. With each stroke, her cheeks turned a nice shade of pink. As he continued to alternate his blows between her cheeks, her skin was becoming a deeper pink and he took a few seconds to hold his hand on her ass after each blow to make sure she’d feel the heat spread. He also took time to slide his fingers up and back through her slick folds. “You’re sopping wet, kitten. I think you are enjoying this more than you are willing to admit.”

  * * * *

  Kat felt the stinging swats and had tried to bite her lip so she wouldn’t cry out; but damn but they hurt, a fucking lot. She’d promised herself she wasn’t going to let them know how turned-on she was getting either. She was sure if they had any idea, they’d be wailing on her ass for every little infraction. But every time Alex’s hand connected with her backside, it sent tiny jolts of electricity straight to her clit, and now she was just hoping she could last through all their swats without coming, holy shit, wouldn’t that be embarrassing. Kat had been so lost in her musings that she was surprised when she heard Alex say, “Six. Now, kitten, stand up. Zach will give you the last half of your punishment, but before he does, we want to up the stakes a bit. Now lay over his lap while I make sure you are ready for the butt plug we’ve brought along.”

  Before Kat could even respond, she found herself over Zach’s lap with her legs spread even farther apart. She suddenly felt something cool being squirted on her back hole and she gasped. “Oh my God, what are you doing?”

  “Be still, kitten, let Alex get you ready for the plug.” Zach was holding her firmly around the waist, with his other arm over the back of her knees so that she couldn’t move away from the cool gel Alex had dribbled over her pink rosette. God, Zach could hardly wait to fuck her there, but he knew it was going to take quite a lot of prep before she’d be ready for that. As Alex coated his finger and began rimming her, he felt her stiffen, and he tightened his hold in warning.

  “Hold still, Kat, Alex needs to get you lubed up so he can push in the plug we bought you. It is a small one. We’ll need to stretch this beautiful little hole so you can take us both at the same time. It won’t be happening today, we’ll have to work you through a series of plugs in graduating sizes that will stretch you so you’ll be ready for us. Now, don’t try to keep him out, relax, and push back into it.”

  Kat was listening, she was really was…Well, she was trying to, but she could feel herself ge
tting lost in all the sensations that were being thrown at her, her ass was burning, and she knew they were only half finished with the spanking. Oh damn, she was pretty sure she’d been way too close to coming, so she’d been really glad when Alex had stood her up, it had given her a chance to bring herself back from the edge. But Holy Mother of God, the feel of Alex’s finger pushing ever so slowly in to her back hole was really pushing her to the point of no return, fast and in a big way. Just when she thought she was going to go over, Alex stopped moving. Oh damn. “Please, just a little more.” Crap, had she said that out loud?

  “Baby, did you think I wouldn’t know you were about to orgasm? You won’t be coming until we are ready for you to have your pleasure. Your orgasms belong to us, we’ll be the only ones providing those, and we’ll do so when we are ready, not just because you want one.” Alex had started pushing the plug inside her, sliding it in just a bit before pulling it back out, the slow push and pull was almost hypnotic, and Kat felt herself being pulled right into the sensation again.

  Geez, what was wrong with her? She didn’t seem to be able to concentrate at all. She was sure she should be protesting this, damn, she had her ass in the air, her legs apart, they were right in the middle of paddling her ass, and now they were pushing a plug in to her rectum. She was pretty sure there was supposed to be a whole lot wrong with this situation, but she was having trouble figuring it out, her lust-fogged mind just didn’t want to cooperate.

  * * * *

  Zach looked up and grinned at his brother, they could both feel Kat going into subspace, that wonderful la-la land of lust that made a submissive feel like they were floating. Subspace produced boatloads of endorphins, so subspace was always a happy place. Since they were trying to make sure Kat associated her submissive behavior and their touches with pleasure, this was perfect. The trick was going to be getting that plug in her ass and the rest of her swats taken care of before she went so deep she wasn’t cognizant of everything that was happening.

  Alex finally seated the plug and stood back. Zach could see that his brother was every bit as affected by what was happening as he was. God but she was amazing. Zach started talking to her right away. He needed to get her focus back quickly. “Okay, kitten, let’s get this punishment finished so we can fuck you and give you the orgasm we know you are craving. You took the first part of your punishment like a good girl, let’s see if you can do as well under my hand.” And with that he landed a solid slap to the center of her ass, just high enough that she wouldn’t feel the plug move, he’d been sure that would have been more than she’d have been able to take. He continued his swats, alternating cheeks and intensity and timing. He knew that part of her arousal would depend on not being able to anticipate when the next blow would land or how long she’d have to wait.

  When he only had one more swat to administer, he heard her soft sniffle and knew she’d finally let go enough for the tears to start flowing. They’d known she would have barriers they would need to break down, and the fact that she was finally letting go of some of tension she’d been harboring the last week was a sign they were making progress. “Only one more, kitten. Are you ready?”

  Kat’s hiccupped “Y–yes, S–sir” brought a smile to his face. Even though she was nearing her emotional and physical limit, she still remembered the response he’d had to prompt her to use earlier, she was everything he’d always known she’d be and more.

  Zach landed the last swat squarely over the plug and at the same time said, “Come for us, kitten.”

  * * * *

  Kat felt like the whole world exploded into swirling washes of brilliant color. She’d felt the last blow just as Zach had told her to come, and her body had reacted before his words had even fully registered. It seemed like forever, but she really didn’t know how long she’d been lost in her own pleasure when she finally felt her breathing starting to slow down a bit. She’d been able to feel her whole body shaking and was grateful Zach had kept a firm hold on her or she was sure she’d have bounced herself right onto the rocks below his feet. Right now, all she could think about was how amazing it had felt to fly through all those colors. She’d had orgasms before the Lamonts, well, if you counted what her little battery-operated boyfriend had given her as an orgasm, but this? Holy shit, this was something entirely different. Oh yeah, this confirmed that their first experience together before she’d been shot hadn’t been a fluke. The spanking hadn’t even really hurt that much, as a matter of fact, she was pretty sure it had been arousing, but she was going to have to think about that later. Yeah, her brain didn’t seem to be firing on all its cylinders right not, probably ought to shelve that for right now.

  Chapter 23

  The intensity of her reaction to the spanking and plug probably shouldn’t have surprised him as much as it had, considering the depth of Katarina’s submissive nature, but her instantaneous response to his brother’s order to come had certainly blindsided him. Alex wasn’t sure in all the years he’d been a sexual dominant he’d ever met a woman who was a more natural-born submissive. Hell, he’d known subs who had been living the lifestyle for years who didn’t go into subspace that easily or who would react as explosively as she had. He’d nearly come himself just watching her.

  Alex had watched as Zach sat her up as soon as he’d been sure she’d started coming back down from her orgasm, but by the dazed look on her face, she still wasn’t completely back in the here and now. Alex handed him one of the soft subbie blankets they keep in nearby hidden bins, and then stood close as Zach wrapped it securely around Kat’s soft shoulders. The Club had strict rules emphasizing the importance of aftercare for subs. The importance of those few moments of cuddle time after a scene was continually stressed in all their training classes. This small gesture was critical to not only a sub’s bonding experience with her Dom, but it also gave the submissive a chance to regain his or her emotional footing. Zach would provide some of Kat’s aftercare, and then he’d place Katarina into his Alex’s waiting arms. They would both enjoy these tender moments just as much as she would, he was sure of that. And even though his cock was screaming to be buried as deep inside Kat as he could get, making her feel cherished was much more important.

  Kat heard Zach softly say, “You handled that beautifully, kitten. I’m very proud of you.” Then he kissed her softly on the end of her nose and put her onto Alex’s lap.

  * * * *

  Alex gazed at Katarina’s face, her cheeks were still flushed, and her eyes still didn’t seem to be fully focusing, but she’d smiled at the words of praise Zach had spoken to her before his brother had moved her gently into his care. Alex knew he’d lost his soul to her in that moment. He’d always known he loved her, but this was something so much deeper. This was a soul-deep connection that was just beyond anything he even had words to describe. And despite hearing his father and other friends describe their feelings when they connected with “the one,” he had been totally unprepared for the surge of feelings he was experiencing, possessiveness, passion, longing, lust, and some things that he was sure language hadn’t evolved enough to even label yet. Christ, if his team could hear these thoughts, they’d think he was the biggest sap that had ever lived. But right in this moment, he wasn’t even sure he’d mind their teasing.

  Alex knew the minute Katarina’s analytical mind seemed to kick back into gear. Her muscles tensed, and he could almost feel the embarrassment coming off her in waves. Moving to stand her on her feet, Alex said, “Well done, love. But now, we’re going to fuck you right out here in the gardens, baby. I, for one, can’t wait to get my cock inside your tight sheath. You will be even tighter with that plug in your ass.” Alex saw her mouth drop open, but he didn’t give her a chance to speak before he continued. “Oh yes, love, I’m going to slide my cock in your warm, lush heat, and you’re going to feel every bump and ridge pressed against the front of your pussy. And while I’m pumping into your pussy, you’re going to give Zach some relief with that beautiful mouth. He�
�s going to be sliding his cock between your lush lips. Have you ever given a man a blow job, baby?”

  It took Kat a couple of seconds to realize Alex had actually asked her a question. Damn but he could make her lose her mind when he talked to her like that. No man had ever cast a spell over her with words the way the Lamont brothers could, it was almost scary how distracted she became when they started speaking to her in what she was quickly coming to think of as their gentle Dom voices. She was quickly learning to identify the mood of the scene by the voice they used.

  “Um, yeah, but I wasn’t good at it I guess,” Kat finally managed to answer.

  Alex tilted his head slightly to the side and asked her, “Why would think you weren’t any good at it, baby?”

  “Well, Cal made me do it a once, and he kept having one of his men hit me with a thick paddle because he said I wasn’t doing it right. He said it was the only way for me to learn.” Kat’s voice had almost faded completely away by the time she’d finished speaking. She’d lowered her head, trying to hide the fact that her eyes had filled with tears. She was sure this was probably one the most humiliating moments of her life. If she had failed to please a wannabe Dom like Cal, two experienced Doms like the Alex and Zach Lamont were sure to be disappointed. Kat wished at that moment she could just disappear. She couldn’t bear to look up and see the disillusionment she was sure she would find in their expressions.
