As she leaned forward over Thor, she did a similar provocative circle with her hips, working the dildo in creative ways inside her sub as she teased Max’s cock. That steel organ pressed the wet crotch of the thong and the strap of the dildo into her folds. Max captured her buttocks, his fingers almost bruising.
“Mistress…I’m so close…may I…”
“Not yet. Another few seconds. Or you’ll get more of that paddle than you’re going to want.”
She was proud of her ability to talk, but when Max tugged at the thong and dildo straps words deserted her. He found his way past them, two fingers sinking into the wet heat of her pussy.
“Fucking honey,” he muttered, just as Thor cried out again.
Max moved with her in perfect sync, fingers sliding in and out as she fucked Thor to the very edge. Then Max put his mouth on the other side of her neck, cruising along the artery, delicate tongue touches, followed by a heated, open-mouthed, sucking kiss where his teeth latched on to her once again.
“Come now,” she gasped to Thor. “Come, baby.”
The powerful sub let go with a pleasing roar worthy of a thunder god. In some distant place in her mind she knew that meant she’d done what she was supposed to do, but she was still spiraling up and up, worked by Max’s fingers, the simple touch of his mouth on her throat. He kept the weight of his body against her so Thor’s cries intensified, because she kept plowing him in those deep, short strokes. Her legs shook, her body shuddering as the clit stimulator hit her just right, the rhythm Max setting inexorable. Thor’s ass kept rising up to meet her, increasing the force of their threefold impact.
“Stop,” she whispered. “Stop.”
Max shook his head, his dark-blond hair brushing the back of her neck. “Come for me, baby,” he murmured into her ear. “You’re driving me fucking crazy. Trust me with it.”
It was a plea and a command, and she couldn’t deny either. Her clit hardened, her pussy rippling tight around Max’s fingers as her body went over that precipice. She arched, thrusting forward with her hips as she dropped her head back against his shoulder. It pushed her breast farther into his large hand, and when he pinched the nipple, she gave a strangled cry, her nails scoring Thor’s back. He reared up against her in spasmodic aftershock as she shoved in even deeper, her body going rigid, caught up in the pleasurable waves.
She wanted those slacks out of the way, wanted to feel the heated steel of Max’s bare cock against her flesh. Though this wasn’t the moment for that, he at least kept moving with her, that additional sensation driving her to full, mostly satisfied repletion. When she came to a slow halt, Thor’s chest was expanding like a bellows, his mouth beneath the blindfold alternating between tight and slack, his body shuddering, fingers clamped on those handles. She’d pushed him hard, and he would need care to ground him. The problem was, she might need it as well. Holy God. She really hadn’t expected that. Not just what Max had done, but how she’d reacted to him.
Max kept his arm around her, his mouth at her ear. “All done with him?” he asked.
She nodded, and he backed off, but he took her with him. He eased her out of Thor’s ass with surprising gentleness. He loosened the dildo straps as she swayed with a pleasurable dizziness in his arm span. Setting the strap-on aside, he picked her up, put her on the chair he’d vacated. One robe hung on the back of the door, part of the room’s standard supplies. Max plucked it off its hook now, slipping it around her shoulders before he squatted before her, touching her knee. “Tell me what to do for him,” he said.
She blinked at him. She wasn’t a woman to be swept off her feet, but her body was still vibrating from that orgasm, as well as how smoothly and capably he’d lifted her to move her less than three feet. She let her gaze glide down his body, to the obvious, mouthwatering arousal that looked like a heavy lifting job. “It’s what I want to do to you that should be discussed.”
The gray eyes were heavy-lidded, the pupils large and black. “We’ll get there. I want to help you with this.”
She considered it. She also wasn’t the type of woman who turned her aftercare responsibilities over to another, but she wasn’t in the habit of being this weak-kneed by the end of a session. “Usually I’d have him crawl over here and bring me to climax with his mouth, as soon as he felt steady enough to do so. But I think you’ve taken that away from him.” Her gaze shifted to Thor’s still twitching body. “I think he’ll be okay with that this time.”
“I expect so.”
“If you can do for him what you just did for me—get him to a sitting position, get him warm—I can take over at that point. Touch helps ground them, but I expect that’s not really your thing.”
Max put a hand on her knee, gave it a light squeeze. When he rose, going to Thor, he touched the man’s back, letting him know it wasn’t her before he gripped his flank and shoulder to help him push up. She opened her mouth in warning, but Max was already ahead of her. He’d tightened his hand on Thor, slowing him down and murmuring. Thor nodded, fumbling between his legs to guide his now-flaccid cock out of the ring, preventing tender flesh from being snagged.
“Take off his blindfold,” she murmured and Max nodded, pulling it free. He steadied Thor until her captive could straddle the bench in a seated position, facing Janet. Whether deliberate or not, it gave her the pleasure of seeing the naked, dazed sub in all his aftermath glory, the damp cock resting on the slick upholstery of the bench, his broad chest still expanding as he caught his breath. When Max stretched out to get him a bottle of water from the convenience bar provided for that purpose, Thor swayed, but Max gripped his shoulder with the opposite hand, holding him. As he came back, he straddled the bench behind Thor, bringing the man back against his chest, snug inside the line of his thighs. Max’s arms were draped comfortably around Thor as he opened the water and offered it, supporting Thor’s hand. Thor kept his head turned to the outside of Max’s shoulder, stealing looks at Janet.
She’d recovered enough she was sitting up straight, her knees together, legs demurely folded like a debutante, but she was watching him closely. His eyes were getting more focused. Max was stroking his hair, a hand lying on his hip, keeping him upright. She got no gay vibes from Max at all, yet he was remarkably comfortable handling a naked man, cosseting him in this way. She’d always assumed he just watched the public sessions the way anyone did, with a voyeur’s surface interest, but he seemed quite familiar with the warning signs important for proper aftercare of a sub.
Underscoring it, when Thor turned his head inward, nuzzling against Max’s throat, Max kindly but firmly drew out of his range, gripping Thor’s jaw to turn his attention back toward Janet. “I don’t go that way, man,” he said. “Just here to provide you a prop and take care of you for the Mistress.”
Thor accepted that easily enough. After all, he’d come to her for a physical experience. The emotional, intense as it was, was intended to be as temporal as the session itself. Janet rose, moving to her clothes. Under the gaze of both men, she put her skirt back on, following it with her blouse, straightening it tidily. She could have gone into the bathroom and dried the slickness between her legs with a towel, but she wasn’t yet in the mood to do that. She was still feeling Max’s fingers there. When she met his gaze, she saw a flicker that made her wonder if he’d read her mind again.
Thor shifted with a grunt and glanced back at Max. Her sub for the evening had recovered enough there was a spark of challenge in his eyes. “React that way again, dude, and I’ll start doubting the whole ‘I don’t go that way’ thing,” Thor said.
Max snorted, shoved the other man’s shoulder. “I think you’re good.” Rising from the bench, he nodded to Janet. “He’s all yours. If you don’t need me for anything else, ma’am, I’ll see you at the coffee shop.”
And just like that, he slipped from the room.
Chapter Four
She finished up with Thor, thanked him and cut him loose. Even though she had no further plans for club p
lay tonight, she didn’t change back into her street clothes yet. She did retrieve them though, putting them in her carry-on before wandering back out to the floor. She found Max in the same spot at the coffee place. As she came to him, she saw his eyes covering the intimate areas he’d touched. Her neck was still throbbing, and she thought it might be bruised blue and red tomorrow from the force of that hot, demanding mouth.
By the time she arrived on the catwalk below him, the spot where they’d spoken before her session with Thor, he’d stood up. Leaning over the rail, he reached down, took her bag. She was already raising her arms, so he caught her beneath them, brought her up to stand on the lip of the coffee house floor. Then he put his arm around her waist, scooped her up beneath her knees and lifted her, guiding her legs over the rail and down to the opposite side.
The coffee house manager gave her a quick once-over, but Janet knew her clothes weren’t too outrageous to fail the street-clothes-only requirement of this part of the club. She also recognized Janet as a regular, nodding in friendly acknowledgement.
Max pulled out her chair for her, helped her scoot it up before taking his own seat, aligning his feet on the outside of hers under the small table. When the waitress came, Janet ordered a black coffee and a croissant. Then she folded her arms on the table, fixing her gaze upon him. She’d left the top three buttons of the blouse open, her breasts on a shelf-like display with her arms crossed under them. His attention naturally went to that, but then fastened on her pendant. Reaching out, he toyed with it, but she closed her hand on his wrist, drawing his eyes back to her face.
“How did you know how to take care of Thor?”
He shrugged, hooking a shoulder on the back of the chair. His thighs were casually splayed, his other hand lying loosely on the table. Did the man realize he oozed testosterone?
“During BUD/S, you’re cold. A lot. The boat work, surf torture. If you and your team come out on top during the boat exercises, you might get rewarded with a few minutes on the beach, not having to be in the water. We sit like me and Thor did, folded into each other, back to chest, to share warmth. It’s a way of grounding and settling as well. Physical contact like that with another human being when you’re going through a lot of stress, it’s pretty basic.”
The words echoed those he’d spoken at the hospital that night. Sometimes, after something like that, human touch helps ground you, brings back your focus.
“Surf torture?” Her brow lifted.
“The instructors have us link arms and lie in the surf for about fifteen-minute stretches. It’s fifty-some-degree water. You start thinking Hell is polar caps, not a fire pit.”
“That sounds a little inhumane.”
He chuckled. “It’s not just to torture us, though there are times you think so. On missions, they know we’ll be in some pretty cold waters. Traveling in SDVs—SEAL delivery vehicles—especially the underwater ones, sucks rocks. By the time you get out, you feel colder than an ice cube.”
He leaned forward, tapping her knuckles, then stayed there, his finger resting on top of one of hers.
“Why don’t you tie them down?” he asked. “Most of the Mistresses I’ve watched seem to prefer that.”
She knew what it was to be tied down, unable to escape while the blows came. Rationally, she knew this was different, but the first time she’d tried to tie up a sub, pushing her own boundaries, the blood had come back, the thud of blows, the straps cutting into her flesh as she screamed and tried to get away…
A moment later, she realized her croissant and coffee were there. He pushed the plate toward her. “Maybe eat a little. You look pale,” he noted.
“Is this a game to you, Max?” she said, staring at the food. Her gaze snapped back up to him.
His brow creased. “No ma’am. I’m just figuring out the terrain. Determining where the land mines are.”
She tucked her hands around the coffee, warming them. “Call me by my name, Max. Please.”
“Janet.”
He brought his chair closer to hers, which kept her between the rail and his body. She didn’t feel trapped though. Instead, she was enclosed, a blanket on a cold night. He slid an arm around her waist, threading it between the chair and her body, and his palm wrapped below her hip, his fingers curving over her ass as he brought her up toward his mouth, his head bending to her.
She didn’t wait for him. She met him halfway, and dove headfirst into the sensation. He met her, fire for fire. She wasn’t on the chair anymore. He’d hooked his other hand under her knee, turned and pulled her onto his lap, her buttocks pressed solidly down on his erection as he pushed his fingers into her hair, gripped hard, the sculpting clay not a deterrent. Their mouths stretched and strained, tongues lashing, wet lips rubbing together. She clutched his shoulders, the warmth of the coffee that had lingered in her palms replaced by the solid heat of his body. She wished she hadn’t worn this pencil skirt that kept her from straddling him, though she knew they were pushing the boundaries even now, probably back under the scrutiny of the coffee house manager.
As if Max figured it out at the same moment she did, his grip tightened, but to pull her back, even if only a few inches. “Time to get out of here,” he said. “I want you under me. Those gorgeous legs wrapped around me. I want to taste your cunt.”
Her breath shuddered out, her fingers tracing his lips. He licked them, drawing in one to suck on it, hard, give it a sharp bite. The need pulsing from him was pure animal. No rules, no patience to talk about who was in charge. Unlike what most outsiders thought of it, BDSM gave civilized rules to uncivilized behavior. Right now, the pure instinct that predated it drove them both.
Rising, he dropped bills on the table, picked up her bag. He offered his hand, but when she put hers out, he closed his fingers around her wrist, drew her up to him, against his side, and they moved toward the exit that way. His hand dropped to her hip, then lower. The man enjoyed fondling an ass, and had no compunction about doing it in front of others, though in all fairness, he wasn’t exactly in a place that disapproved of blatant sexual expression. He seemed fascinated with the tightness of the skirt, fingers following the way the fabric hugged and curved under her buttocks. He stroked, explored, interrupting himself only to open the door and guide her through it, so they exited to the parking area.
The parking lot lights were a light sheen on the truck’s flank. His hand was back to doing that distracting pattern across her sensitive buttocks. But two could play it that way. When they reached the truck, she put her hands on his chest, pressing him up against his door. As she leaned into him, he dropped the bag and shifted his grip to her hips, bringing her even closer to him. He bent for another kiss she was sure would cause her brain to explode, but she tilted her head down, denying him. Those provocative lips slid across her temple instead.
Her hand moved up his chest to the base of his throat, then to his jaw, curving around it before she tightened, digging her nails into his neck enough to make him understand the wordless demand. As he turned his jaw away from her, he took it an extra step, understanding her desire. He laid his head back against the window glass, exposing his throat fully to her.
Power and pleasure flooded her, and she put her mouth on that strong column, suckling and biting it as he’d done her, wanting to leave those same marks on him. In answer, he gripped her ass in a two-handed hold so aggressive her boot heels left the pavement. The skirt was too tight, too stiff a fabric to give way before his sizeable erection, let it push into that valley between her thighs where she could feel that sweet pressure against her clit. Now she wished she had changed into her street clothes. But she took what the moment could offer her.
She yanked at the dress shirt, not caring when buttons came loose. Such a properly dressed gentleman, he had the thin white cotton T-shirt beneath, and she clawed at it as well, pulling it loose from his waistband, bringing the hem up to his throat. He kept his hands on her hips, letting her do as she wished, inflaming her further. He was res
training himself. Catering to her needs, her wishes. Her nature. Yet she could feel the power and response building in him, stoked by her actions. Eventually, it would be too much. He’d tear loose of his self-imposed control and sweep them both away.
It was an unspoken give-and-take, an intuitive power exchange so erotic because of the lack of defined boundaries and words, its unpredictability. She felt as free as a wild animal in truth. She could desire and demand anything from Max. He was strong enough to handle it, and her, and still make her feel safe. At least in this moment.
Hard muscled flesh. Manna straight from heaven. She put her mouth on his pectoral and went right for sensitive places, closing her teeth delicately around his nipple, her tongue swirling around it. He was silent, but his body was a full orchestra, arched into that latch point, abdomen muscles taut beneath her other hand, her thumb caught beneath his waistband as her fingers splayed across the defined ridges. His heart beat rapidly beneath her other hand, pressed against his chest. The hand he had on her hip gripped hard, and he’d brought the other up to cup her head.
Normally she’d have snapped out an order to keep both hands down, but what he was doing, fingers digging in then stroking, moving down to grasp her nape, felt too good. He was following the line of her neck to her shoulder, a motion that sent tingles of sensation down her spine to her tailbone, and from there into the deep crevices of her body, creating a bittersweet yearning.
She ran her tongue along the crease between pectoral and upper abdomen. This man’s body was sheer fucking perfection, developed to fight, to serve. And all hers at the moment.
She noticed he’d managed to catch hold of the skirt zipper and ease it up way past mid-thigh. The breeze touched her skin, replaced by the solid heat of his hand, sliding up the back of her thigh to cup her ass, bared by the black thong. She bit down on the nipple, and he pinched her in reply, his other arm circling her waist to band her closer to him.
