“Well, I’m sure you’ll figure it out.” He laughed. “Or, more accurately, Langston will tell you how it is.”
Yep, Master was nothing if not up front about how he wanted things. Then again, so was Sir. The fact was, I didn’t know and I honestly didn’t care. They wanted it for legal reasons, to ensure that I was taken care of in the event something happened. I, personally, just wanted to be with both of them and having to choose which of them to marry was more than I cared to deal with.
Footsteps sounded and I looked up to see Justin walking toward us. He looked a little worse for wear, but still just as handsome as always. When he came over to my desk, I instantly got to my feet. I wanted to hug him, to offer my condolences, but I paused, not wanting to be overly emotional if he needed space.
He seemed to know what I was silently asking for, because he offered a small smile, followed by, “Come here, princess.”
I rushed over to him, throwing my arms around him and hugging him tightly. “I’m so sorry about your dad.”
“Thank you.” He ran his hand down my hair, his arms holding me to him. “He’s in a much better place now.”
I had learned from Master and Sir that Justin’s father had suffered from dementia and it had progressed at a rapid pace in the past year or so. To the point the man had no idea who his family was most of the time, yet Justin and his brother had made a point to take care of him until the very end. My heart broke for him.
Justin pulled back at the same time Master and Sir came out of their offices.
“I hear congratulations are in order,” Justin said, reaching for my hand and lifting it up to inspect the rings. His eyes then darted to the collar and he smiled.
“Looks like a lot of changes are taking place around here,” Ben noted. “Good changes.”
I smiled. It was true. I’d never been happier.
Justin looked at me. “Have you set a date yet?”
“We have not. Not officially anyway.”
“We’re hoping for June, maybe July,” Sir noted. “Our mother’s insistent on making this a grand affair.”
I giggled, remembering Mel’s excitement. She had approached me after the proposal, once Master and Sir had finished the scene. They’d laughed at me when they realized I thought the proposal was all they’d intended to do to me. Needless to say, I got intimately acquainted with that magic wand and Master’s flogger. In fact, it had taken some time for me to come down from my subspace high, but then everyone was there to congratulate us all.
Justin glanced between Master and Sir, then back to me. “So, are we still on for the Monday meeting?”
“Absolutely,” I told him with a grin. “And I have a ton of updates.”
“Have you placed an ad for another secretary?” Justin asked.
“Not yet, but I’ve got it prepared.” It wasn’t like it was difficult. I was going with their tried and true: REQUIREMENTS TO BE PROVIDED AT TIME OF INTERVIEW.
Surely, someone would be interested.
Perhaps a sweet little submissive whose world would be changed when she had the opportunity to work for some fabulous Doms.
Granted, she wouldn’t be as lucky as me. I’d been trained by four.
The next girl would only get the pleasure of two. But two was good.
I glanced over at Master and Sir.
Two was very, very good.
Epilogue
FOUR MONTHS LATER, JUNE
“HOW ARE THE INTERVIEWS COMING along, pet?” Master asked when I returned to my desk that afternoon.
I grimaced at the memory of the last two interviews. “Not very well.”
In an effort to find the person who would be an asset to the team, Justin and Ben had requested that I handle the initial interviews for those interested in the secretary position. I’d been at it for two solid months, talking to one person after another, hoping they would be a perfect fit for my previous bosses. I’d even enlisted Jordan’s help, but to no avail.
In the interim, I was still working for all four of them, although we had officially moved to the thirty-third floor now that the renovations were complete. Granted, they were just starting on the changes to the thirty-second floor, so there was still a lot going on. I continued to hold out hope that the next applicant would be the one to waltz in and blow our minds. Unfortunately, that had yet to happen.
Perhaps I was being too picky, but I wanted someone whose personality would mesh well with all of us. But I was also seeking someone who had the potential to become more for Justin and Ben. That was more difficult to find than I’d originally thought. I had liked one girl, a sweet little blonde fresh out of college, but Jordan had vetoed her before I could send her resume along to Justin and Ben. After a lot of discussion, I’d conceded. My best friend thought the girl was too young and far too immature. Looking back on it, I had to agree.
“We’ve scheduled one more for this afternoon. She should be here any minute,” I informed Master. “Hopefully, she’ll fare better than the others.”
“I’m sure it’ll all work out the way it’s supposed to.”
Footsteps sounded outside in the hallway and I continued to watch my office doorway until Sir appeared. He came to a stop beside Master, glancing between us as though trying to figure out what we were discussing.
I sighed. “I was just telling Master that the interviews aren’t going well.”
He nodded his understanding. “Maybe you need a little motivation.”
My insides warmed instantly. I’d gotten familiar with my masters’ motivational techniques, and I had to admit, I was quite fond of them.
“Yes, Sir,” I agreed.
Before he could insist that I do something, my desk phone rang. I snatched up the receiver and put it to my ear.
“The next applicant is here,” Jordan informed me.
“Thanks. I’ll be right up.” I sighed when I hung up the phone. “Unfortunately, duty calls.”
Sir lifted an eyebrow. “Then we’ll merely relocate. She’ll have to wait.”
My eyes widened, but I didn’t argue when Sir took my arm and we started toward the front. I heard Master’s footsteps close behind.
When we stepped into the lobby, I instantly greeted the young woman. “I’m sorry, but I need to meet with my bosses for a few minutes.”
“Oh, sure,” she said sweetly, her eyes scanning Master and Sir before a huge grin took over her face. “Take your time.”
Oh, Lord. That was the last thing she should’ve said. Master and Sir would certainly do that now.
“I’ll be right back.” I turned to find Sir holding open the door to the conference room. Rather than panic, I walked right in. I knew that Jordan and the applicant would hear anything that took place, and perhaps they would see the shadows as well, but it wasn’t my place to argue with what Sir wanted. He was my Dom; therefore he made the rules. I merely abided by them.
“Start by undressing,” Sir instructed. “And I’ll be back in a minute.”
Sir slipped out of the room, but Master didn’t follow, instead choosing to lean against the wall near the door. He watched as I undressed, his eyes never leaving me.
“Present yourself,” he instructed.
I did as he requested, kneeling in front of the conference table as I waited for Sir to return.
A few minutes later, the door opened, then closed. Their feet finally appeared in front of my eyes and two hands settled on my head.
“Stand and greet your masters, sweet girl.”
I got to my feet and smiled brightly.
They laughed.
I couldn’t help it. I enjoyed their attention and anytime I got it, I was sure to let them know. Granted, I got a lot of attention. Having two men—two Doms, at that—tended to keep a girl busy. Not that I was complaining.
“Up on the table,” Sir instructed.
I hopped up on the conference table that was very similar to the one downstairs, only it had a wooden top, not glass. When Sir had ordered it, he h
ad specifically said he wanted something “extremely sturdy.” He got what he wanted. We had tested it out a few times already.
Sir instantly settled me into the position he wanted me. I was on my back, my feet flat on the wood top, knees bent and pointing skyward. He proceeded to secure my legs, using straps, connecting my ankles to my thighs. He then used another strap to pull my knees in close to my chest, while spreading them wide so I was completely exposed.
“Comfortable?” he asked as he cinched the strap tighter.
“Yes, Sir.”
“Good.”
Master moved around so that he was standing opposite of Sir. He situated me so that my head was hanging off the side of the table, his cock at mouth level.
Apparently, he wasn’t wasting any time.
Warm hands ran up my thighs.
“Do not come, pet,” Sir insisted. “Not until we give you permission.”
“Yes, Sir.”
“And remember, there are people out there who can hear every moan you make.”
I’d learned long ago that my masters were always challenging me. I was past the point of promising to be quiet because I knew they would merely see that I did the opposite.
My two masters provided me with a very nice distraction. Sir’s mouth feasted on my pussy, licking, suckling, and teasing me until I was moaning around Master’s cock, which impaled my mouth over and over. They worked me over good before alternating positions. Then Sir’s cock was fucking my mouth and Master was driving me wild with his tongue.
They did this several more times, offering me pleasure while taking theirs. They would bring me right to the brink, then pull back. Clearly, they knew that withholding wasn’t my strong suit.
When Sir was once again between my legs, I heard the distinct buzz of his magic wand as he powered it on. My body tensed.
“Sir?”
“Yes, pet?”
“May I come?” I knew there was no point in pretending I could hold off. Not with that brutal vibrator they enjoyed using on me.
He pressed it against my clit and I whimpered. That damn thing was the devil of all vibrators.
“You may come, pet. But not until Langston does.”
I swallowed hard, opening my mouth as Master fed me his cock. The vibrator pressed firmly against my clit as I sucked Master into my mouth. I whimpered and moaned as the pleasure slammed into me. The position I was in allowed Master complete control to use my mouth and I gave it to him freely. He began fucking my throat, his hands kneading my breasts. I could tell he wasn’t holding back and I was eager for him to come. Mostly for selfish reasons, of course.
Sweat dotted my skin as I raced to the edge, hanging on by my fingernails. I was so close to bursting, I could hardly contain myself. The pleasure bordered on pain.
Finally, Master’s hips stopped moving.
“Come for me, little one,” he commanded as his cock pulsed in my mouth.
I swallowed him down as I could, then I let out a muffled cry when my orgasm detonated.
They traded places, gave me the same instructions, and several minutes later, I was coming again while Sir shot into my mouth.
Afterward, they released the restraints, then helped me up before massaging my entire body from neck to toe.
“So, are you motivated?” Sir asked, brushing my hair back from my face.
“Absolutely, Sir.” I was always motivated.
He chuckled. “I meant motivated to find a secretary for Justin and Ben.”
“Oh.” I grinned. “Of course.” Then my eyes widened. “Crap! The applicant.”
“Don’t worry!” Jordan yelled from the other side of the door. “She’s gone. I think your moaning freaked her out.”
I couldn’t help it, I laughed, despite the blush that overtook my face. Jordan had apparently heard everything.
Sir looked at Master. “I’m not sure I believe her. She sounds sincere, but...”
Master shook his head, then moved around behind me. “I’m not sure I do either.”
Sir grinned. “Maybe you need an extra…push.”
“If it pleases you, Sir,” I said with a giggle, my mouth watering when he began to unbutton his shirt.
After all, I would do anything to please my masters.

I hope you enjoyed Luci’s story. These characters pulled me in and kept me suspended for so long, I felt as though I truly got to know them. Of course, I also feel as though it’s not over for Justin and Ben. They’ve got to find their own submissive. And they will. Soon.
