Bound & Teased

by Marie Tuhart

  “I’m hard for you, Katie, and so is Jed.”

  Unable to help herself, she glanced at Jed’s groin and yep, his cock pressed against his pants, too. Without thinking about it, Katie ran the tip of her finger over Jed’s bulge.

  “Fuck.” Jed shifted his hips. “I’m so on the edge right now.”

  “And we still have things to discuss,” Ry said. “Tell us about you playing in New York.”

  She’d wondered when he’d return to that topic. Sitting back against the sofa, Katie tried to relax. “At my dad’s company I met some of the other female workers. We usually went out for drinks on Friday night, just to unwind for the week. And one Friday night we got talking about sex.” She tangled her fingers together in her lap.

  “We discussed the usual stuff. Then Jan approached me at lunch the following week and asked me if I was interested in the more kinkier aspects of sex. When I told her maybe, she gave me a card. It had the name of Dr. Pamela Shaffer, Sexual Psychologist, and the date and address of her next free workshop.”

  “And you went?” Jed slipped his arm around her shoulders.

  “Yes, I was curious. Dr. Pam was fantastic, and she opened my eyes to a lot of things. She gave me a list of recommended books to read, so I ordered them and read them.”

  “They helped?” Ry asked.

  Katie’s gaze caught his. Desire shined in his eyes. “Yes, I began to understand more about the lifestyle you two wanted. Dr. Pam was so great. She took me under her wing after I explained about you two and my bad reaction.”

  “Awe hell, Kitty Kat, your reaction was natural. You were only eighteen.”

  “A very naive eighteen.”

  “So this Dr. Pam took you to clubs to play,” Ry asked.

  “Sort of. She knew I wasn’t ready to play, but wanted to know more. So she took me to clubs she knew were safe and would welcome me.”

  “And what did you think of the clubs?” Jed asked.

  “At first, I was scared to death, but after the first couple of times when no one minded that I stayed clothed or didn’t participate, I began to watch and learn. And later, participated on a limited basis.”

  “Tell me what you learned,” Ry said.

  Katie took a deep breath. “I learned I’m a sexual submissive, about the total power exchange, and though my desires were different, they weren’t any less important.”

  “You said participated on a limited basis,” Ry said. “Explain.”

  “It means I allowed Sir William to play with my breasts, put clamps on them, and to spank me.” Her gaze went to Jed, then back to Ry. Neither seemed upset by this. That made her relax a little more.

  “And sex?” Jed asked.

  Katie shook her head. Time to tell the truth. “No sex. Not since you two.”

  Ry sprang from his chair, and Katie flinched. Oh, hell, she’d misread him. How angry was he? It was hard to tell.

  “Ryland,” Jed snapped.

  Ry glanced at them, closed his eyes then opened them. “Sorry, Katie, I’m not angry.” He leaned down and caressed her cheek. “I just can’t believe you haven’t had sex in eight years.”

  “I have used toys. I had to get some relief somehow.”

  “Of course you did.” Jed squeezed her shoulders. “I think maybe this is enough for tonight.”

  Ry straightened and ran his hand through his hair. “Dinner tomorrow night. Be here at six. We’ll have dinner first, then you’ll go down to the dungeon, and we’ll begin your training.”

  “Okay.” Katie stood up, feeling confused but also relieved. She turned to Jed. “Tomorrow.” She gave him a kiss on the cheek, then turned to Ry.

  She didn’t want Ry angry with her. It was up to her to show him the woman she’d become. She raised her chin and marched over to Ry. He went still when she stopped in front of him. “All I can say is I’m sorry I ran. I was too young to understand myself, let alone what the two of you needed.” Standing on her toes, she kissed his cheek.

  “I’ll walk you out,” Jed said as he took her hand.

  She threw a glance over her shoulder, but Ry hadn’t moved. She fought against sighing. She didn’t want this to be an upward battle.

  Jed squeezed her hand as they walked out the front door. “All will be okay.”

  ****

  Ry’s hands curled into fists so he wouldn’t grab Katie as he watched her leave. He didn’t trust himself right now. No, he wouldn’t hurt her, not for all the money in the world. But he wanted to protect her, to take care of her, to make her his. He stayed where he was as Jed walked her out to her car. Ry heard her car start and the engine noise faded as she drove away. The second Jed closed the door behind him, Ry stripped off his jeans and let out a breath of relief, giving his hard erection some room.

  “No kidding,” Jed said as he unzipped his pants and allowed his cock to hang out of his open jeans.

  “Do you realize how hard it was for me to let her go tonight?”

  “Yes.” Jed stripped his clothes off and flopped down on the sofa.

  “Earlier when you were out, she told me she’d been with four men, including us. She let me think she’d had sex with other men.”

  Jed chuckled. “Can you blame her?”

  “No, but if one man was Sir William, then who is the other guy?” Ry clenched his jaw.

  “Probably someone her father picked out.” Jed gave him a cheeky grin, his hand fisting his cock. “So, what’s it going to be tonight?”

  Some of the tension drained from Ry’s muscles. Leave it to Jed. “Your ass is mine, so get your butt down to the dungeon and assume the position.”

  “Yes, Master Ry. I’m more than ready for a hard cock up my ass.” Jed stood and gave him a saucy salute.

  “If you don’t behave yourself you’ll get more than my cock.”

  “Tease.”

  Ry laughed, then followed Jed down to the dungeon. Tomorrow was going to be an interesting day.

  ****

  “What’s for dinner?” Ry asked.

  Jed straightened from the oven and turned to see Ry near the kitchen door. “Steak, potatoes, and broccoli.” Ry had his arms crossed over his chest and his jaw clenched. Damn, this wasn’t good. Was Ry worked up over tonight? “You need to chill, so go take a shower and change.”

  “It will be a quick one.” Ry glanced at Jed with a slow smile taking over his lips.

  Jed swore. He knew that look in Ry’s eyes. If Katie wasn’t coming over and they had time...Jed grinned and then shook his head. “I know what you’re thinking,” he said then laughed. “Go. Katie will be here shortly and I know how you are on punctuality.”

  “Keep that up, Jed, and I’ll fuck your ass even harder tonight.”

  “Ah, promises and more promises.” Jed shook his finger at Ry.

  Ry let out a laugh as he left the kitchen.

  Jed had finished setting the table when he heard Ry jogging down the stairs. Jed had made sure someone was on duty with the horses so they could play uninterrupted tonight. Not that he expected anything to go wrong.

  The door bell rang. Ry shot him a grin and loped over to the door, pulling it open.

  “Evening, Katie,” Ry said, sweeping her into his arms and kissing her.

  A burning sensation started in Jed’s stomach. He clenched his teeth. He’d taken two steps before he realized he’d moved. Hell. He forced himself to stop and take a breath, slowly unclenching his muscles. He hated he was jealous. He’d have to talk to Ry about that. Katie was theirs, and he knew Ry would share.

  “My turn.” He pulled Katie out of Ry’s arms and into his. Her mouth was warm and wet as their tongues dueled then tangled together.

  God, her soft flesh molded to his hardness. He needed her so much. His cock twitched as she broke the kiss.

  “No offense, but a girl needs to breathe now and then.”

  The timer on the stove went off, and Jed grinned. “Dinner. Ry, I’ll let you seat Katie while I bring the food out.”

  “Of c
ourse,” Ry said.

  Jed strode into the kitchen and then gripped the kitchen counter. Hard. He closed his eyes and swore softly as he fought against the jealousy crashing through his blood stream. He’d never reacted this way, so hard and so fast. But this was Katie. Forcing away the little green monster, Jed dished up dinner and carried the two platters out to the table.

  “Smells delicious,” Katie said. Ry had seated her to his right.

  “Jed is a wonder in the kitchen,” Ry said as Jed placed one platter heaped with potatoes on the table.

  Jed carried the other platter over to Katie then he set a piece of steak on her plate. The back of his hand brushed her breast. “Well done, just like the lady likes.” He straightened then served Ry.

  Decision time. Jed stood with platter in hand. Sit on Katie’s right, or on Ry’s left where he normally sat? Hell, the table was set that way, but he could always move his plate.

  “Jed.” Ry’s firm voice made his head jerk up. Ry stared at him, then tilted his chin up toward the chair on Ry’s left.

  Tension seeped out of his body as the decision was made for him. Ry was still his Dominant. Placing the last steak on his plate, Jed took his seat.

  Katie cut into her well-done steak. “You remembered.”

  “Of course I remembered. Who could ever forget your face when we went to dinner in Monroe, and you sent your steak back three times before they got it right.”

  “Well, I don’t like my beef mooing.”

  Ry laughed. “I thought the waiter was going to kick us out.”

  “Yeah, and our fathers left a big tip.”

  The men sobered up for a minute and then smiled at Katie. “Our folks loved having you around,” Ry said.

  Katie reached out and touched Ry’s hand where it rested on the table, and a surge of jealousy hit Jed again. Then Katie held her other hand out to him across the table, and he took it.

  “Your family was always so welcoming and happy. I’m sorry they’re gone.” She squeezed his hand, and Jed’s lips quirked.

  “Me, too,” he whispered.

  “It was an accident.” Ry mumbled. “But they’d be happy to know you’ve come home.”

  Katie gave a smile then dished up her potatoes and vegetables. “So, Ry, you’re the sheriff now.”

  Jed puffed out a breath, happy for the change in subject. He didn’t want to dwell on the death of his father and Ry’s parents.

  “Yep, and if you step a toe out of line, in jail with you.”

  Katie laughed, and the tension dispelled. “I’ll be good, Sir. But,” she ducked her head almost shyly, “I got stopped on the way into town. Know anything about that?”

  Ry just grinned, and Jed barely kept a smile from his lips. “What did he stop you for? Speeding?”

  “Littering,” Katie muttered.

  “Littering?” Jed barely suppressed his laughter.

  “It’s a serious offense,” Ry said. Then with a grin, he dug into his food. The subject was dropped.

  “This is delicious,” Katie said after a few minutes of eating.

  “I aim to please,” Jed said.

  “Well, you always please me,” Ry commented.

  Katie’s gaze clashed with Jed’s, and Jed fought not to squirm in his seat. He had nothing to be embarrassed about. He and Ry had played together since they were teenagers.

  “Umm...so, tell me about the horses,” Katie said.

  “One of my favorite topics.” Jed said, pleased that Katie wanted to know more about him. “I’ve got several horses in the stable. Mainly for breeding.” He paused wondering how much to tell her.

  “I remember you liked to teach people about horses and riding.”

  He smiled. “Still do. I have smaller, gentler horses for the kids.” Jed continued talking about his work with the kids while they ate.

  “Sounds like you’re enjoying yourself,” Katie said thirty minutes later.

  “It’s a job I love.” Jed lifted his chin. Katie was truly interested in him and what he was doing. His chest swelled.

  Ry cleared his throat. “While we load the dishwasher, go down to the dungeon, Katie.”

  Jed recognized Ry going into Master mode. His cock hardened.

  Katie stood. “Yes, Sir.”

  And apparently, so did Katie. Good, she was getting it. “Door code is seventeen thirty six twenty,” Jed said.

  Katie turned and left the room. Jed let out a groan before glancing at Ry. “Are you as hard as I am?”

  “Yep.” Ry ran his palm down his cock where it pressed against his sweats.

  “I need to let you know something.”

  Ry’s gaze jerked to Jed’s face. “I’m not going to like this.”

  “When you kissed Katie earlier, the little green-eyed jealousy monster raised its head.”

  “Then I think we’re even. It happened to me when you brushed your fingers over Katie’s breast when you served her.”

  “How are we going to handle this?” He breathed a sigh of relief. He wasn’t alone in this, and it made him feel better. “I’ve never been like this before.”

  “We’ll take it one step at a time, be honest with ourselves and each other. Communication is going to be the key.”

  “Yes. I’ve always been submissive to you on a sexual level. But when we’ve been with a woman together, I’ve never had an issue with jealousy.”

  “Katie is ours. Ours together.” Ry strode over and clasped Jed’s shoulder. “No matter if we’re with her together or we’re alone with her. We both care about her.”

  “You make it sound so simple.” Jed finished loading the dishwasher and turned it on.

  “It’s a matter of reminding yourself that we’re in this together and communicating. I’m not saying we’re not going to have issues, but we’re all in this together.”

  Jed nodded. “Let’s go see how our Kitty Kat has performed.”

  ****

  Katie stood near the bed, staring at the stairs, forcing herself not to squirm. Her stomach was somersaulting. How long had it been? Five minutes? Ten minutes? She’d stripped off her clothing and put them on the side table as instructed. There was no outfit, so she stood here totally naked, hands behind her back, legs spread, and eyes straight ahead.

  Her insides quaked. Ry and Jed had told her what to expect, and they’d discussed it, but their dungeon still caught her by surprise. It was the most amazing dungeon she’d ever seen, and she’d visited several private ones when she was in New York.

  Footsteps sounded on the stairs. Oh, God, they were coming. Her heart sped up, and she swallowed. The room temperature shot up when they entered. They moved out of her sight, and the padded floor of the dungeon muffled their footfalls.

  Hands touched her shoulders, and she jumped.

  “Shoulders back,” Ry said, his palms on her shoulders, pulling them back.

  “And feet farther apart.” Jed put his foot in between hers and pushed until she widened her stance.

  “Better,” Ry said.

  “Did you shower and shave?” Jed asked.

  Oh damn, she’d forgotten that part of their instructions. “Not here, Sir Jed.”

  “Go place yourself over the spanking horse,” Jed said.

  Katie bit her lower lip and walked over to the horse. She’d heard the disappointment in Jed’s tone, and it cut her to the bone. Could she do this? She had to try. Excitement and trepidation warred within her. Taking a deep breath, she knelt on the padded leg rest, and lay on her stomach on the padded top bar. Her arms hung down along with her head. Her heart pounded, her pussy clenched, and her nipples hardened.

  Confusion ran riot in her brain. How could she be excited by this? But she was. Her pussy was wet and needy, wanting...she didn’t know what. This was so different than how she reacted in New York. There it had all seemed so clinical, so boring. But not now. Her heart was going a mile a minute, and her nerves tingled with anticipation.

  “Let’s see…what shall we use?” Jed asked.

  Katie tried to think back to what was hanging on the wall, but there had been so many things.

  “This one,” Ry said.

  She wished she could see what the men had picked. If she turned around, she’d break another rule, and she didn’t want to do that. One punishment would be enough for her.

  “Spread those knees out. We want to see you as we spank you,” Jed said.

  “Yes, Sir Jed.” Katie wiggled her knees outward, feeling the cool air caress her pussy lips. She fought with herself as part of her wanted to jump up and run while the other wanted to stay and make them proud of her.

  “You will receive three spanks from each of us. Do not move your hands or your legs. Do not straighten up or do anything that will prevent us from punishing you. Each infraction will double the punishment,” Ry said.

  “Yes, Sir Ry.”

  “Do you remember your safewords?” Jed asked.

  “Yes, Sir Jed. Red and yellow.” Katie took a deep breath to steel herself for the first blow, but nothing happened. She let out a breath and—

  “Ahhh.”

  The hit itself wasn’t hard at all, not anymore than the spanking she received the other night. The unexpectedness of it had caught her off guard. She clenched her fingers into her palms so she wouldn’t reach back and cover her ass.

  Two more hits then there was a slight pause. Katie fought to keep her position, though she wanted to stand up. Her ass was warm and tingling. Her clit throbbed, and her pussy clenched hard.

  “Now my turn,” Ry said.

  Oh crap, she’d thought Ry had spanked her first. Ry struck her with more force. Not enough to cause her pain—just a stinging sensation—but damn if her pussy didn’t clench tighter with each hit. By the third hit, her ass was hot, moisture coated her pussy, and she was panting.

  “Good girl.” Jed’s hand caressed her ass.

  “Very good.” Ry’s hand joined Jed’s. Then his fingers slipped down and ran over her slit.

  “You liked that,” Jed said.

  “Yes, Sir Jed, I think I did.” She wasn’t going to lie. When she had experienced it with Sir William, it had been more clinical. And she’d wondered why people enjoyed it. Now, she understood. She needed to be with someone who excited her, someone who cared about her and someone she trusted.
