“Then, I’ll allow it,” Ari conceded as she slapped her ass once more.

She brought her hand around Cass’s back toward her clit, bringing her chest against Cass’s lower back.

Ari thrusted, slow and rhythmically, listening as Cass grew closer and closer to her finish. Cass couldn’t contain herself once she felt Ari’s long fingers rubbing her.

“Fuck,” Cass exclaimed as she slammed her hand into the bench.

Ari grunted as she worked tirelessly to allow Cass to finish, her skin slick with sweat.

As they moved in perfect synch, Cass began to tense, gripping any surface she could find: the bench, her head, Ari’s hands on her hips. Until, finally she gave a primal scream and her body released completely.

“Holy fuck,” she growled as she reached her climax.

It had been a few hours since Cass had left Hedone’s. Ari had held her and stroked her head gently after she had orgasmed. Then, they spent some time discussing how it had felt for both of them. Eventually, they planned their next session and of course, the details of Elle’s engagement party the following week.

By the time she was walking up the steps of her apartment building, Cass’s legs were weak and her stomach was growling.

Ari had offered to take her out to dinner, but a part of Cass needed to be home, snuggled under a blanket. And she wouldn’t have complained if Ari happened to be under said blanket.

She put her key in the lock and opened the apartment to a quiet scene: Gabby alone on the couch, reading a textbook for school.

“Hey, buddy,” Gabby said.

Cass could’ve cried at the sound of her old friends comforting voice, at their home. She had forgotten how much being submissive opened up her inner vulnerability, she would likely be weepy for days.

“Hi, Gabs,” She said as she hung her keys on the hook by the front door.

Gabby patted the couch as she evaluated Cass’s appearance.

“I know that look,” Gabby said, a question buried in it.

Cass nodded as she sat down, “We went to Hedone’s.”

“Oh.”

Shrugging, Cass answered, “No, it was nice. She took to the dominance really naturally and I think it could be really great for her.”

Gabby nodded, letting Cass sit in her words before replying, “And was it great for you?”

Cass looked to the ceiling, knowing if she looked her best friend in the eyes that she may cry, “I mean, it was incredible. I’m just afraid…”

Gabby scooted closer to Cass, resting her hand on Cass’s knee.

“Tell me…” Gabby offered.

Cass took a deep breath and said, “What if I can’t pick a good one? What if she’s going to be as cruel and manipulative as Elle was?”

Gabby laughed, “I’m not sure that’s even possible.”

Cass let some air out.

“Besides, you’re smarter and older, and wiser. Ari isn’t like that. Did you see something you didn’t like?” Gabby asked.

Cass shrugged, “I don’t think so. I just can’t tell if I’m blind to it or if she’s really just a good person who really cares about me.”

Gabby smiled, “She wouldn’t be the first.”
