“Ready for more?”Ry asked.

More?What more could there be?

The toys were turned on full.Painful pleasure streaked up and down from his balls to his toes, making him catch his breath.“Shit.”

Ry struck him two more times with the flogger.The last stroke landed right on the vibe in his ass, and Jed screamed as his orgasm ripped through him.He shot his load into the sleeve.

“Yes.Fuck me, Sir.Take your sub.Thrash me, I can take it.”The words tumbled from his lips as his hips pumped, the stroker milking his cock.The toy’s vibrations slowed until they stopped.Then the vibe in his ass was turned off.Jed lay in the stocks, trying to get control of his breathing.Ry groaned, and sticky warmth shot over Jed’s back and ass.Heavy breathing filled the room for several minutes.

“You are so vocal when you come, and I love it.”Ry pulled the vibe out, removed the stroker from his cock, and slid the shelf back into place.

Jed lay limp in the stocks, still trying to catch his breath.His ass burned, but his cock was sated for the moment.A warm washcloth swept over his back and ass.A cap popping had him jerking his head up.No, Ry couldn’t think of fucking his ass now.

Jed was too on edge and wouldn’t be able to handle it.He opened his mouth to shout out his safe word when Ry’s palms began caressing his ass cheeks.

“Your ass is red, and there are a few welts from the flogging.”

Jed’s muscles relaxed as Ry lovingly stroked the cream into his skin.When he was finished, the stock was lifted.Jed rolled his shoulders as Ry rubbed his legs and thighs before helping him to his feet.

Jed pulled Ry into a hug, enjoying the heat of Ry’s skin against his.“I needed that.Thank you, my Sir.”

“You are the perfect sub, Jed.”Ry’s arms tightened around him.“I appreciate your submission.”Ry took a step back.“How about we shower and then call it a night.”

“Fine with me.”Jed stretched.“Besides, I’m sweaty, and so are you.”He took several steps then glanced over his shoulder.Ry stood by the stocks with a pensive look on his face.

Jed strode over to Ry.“You didn’t do anything I didn’t want.”He clasped Ry on the shoulder.

“I lost control.”

“You didn’t.”

“Jed, your ass was bright red.I raised welts.You’re going to be sore.”

Jed tightened his fingers on Ry’s shoulder.They’d had this conversation before.“You’re a Dominant, Ry; we both know that.You get a little forceful, but you never go over the limit.”

“I don’t want to get carried away with Katie.She’s not ready for that level.”

“You won’t.I’m here to help you, remember?”He slipped his arm round Ry’s shoulders.“Let the past go; you’re no longer that out-of-control teenager.”Jed maneuvered Ry to the door.

“I need to clean up down here.”

“I’ll do it.Go get in the shower, and I’ll join you shortly.”For once, Ry didn’t argue with him, which told Jed just how much Ry was in his own head right now.And that wasn’t always a good thing.

Once, just once, Ry had gotten carried away with the flogger with Jed.He hadn’t injured Jed eight years ago.He’d only caused some discomfort, but nothing that required medical attention.All these years later, Ry was still paying the price.Jed had tried before to get Ry to understand he liked it when they played a little on the edge of pain and pleasure.When dominant Ry really let go.But Ry was afraid of hurting him, of causing him injury.

Now he just had to get Ry to understand he didn’t mind.An argument for another day.Jed cleaned up the equipment and headed upstairs.He slipped into the shower behind Ry and pulled the big man to him so Ry’s back pressed against Jed’s chest.And Ry let Jed hold him until the water was cold and even after they climbed into bed.

Chapter Seven

Katie sat in her car the next night, staring out the windshield.She still had a full ten minutes before she needed to be inside the house and in the dungeon.She squirmed in her seat.

“Damn.”The word slipped past her lips as her pussy twitched from her movement.She’d been swearing off and on all day, thanks to those balls in her pussy.Even sleeping last night had been a pain.Well, not real pain, but pleasurable pain.

And she still wasn’t sure how she felt about following Ry’s and Jed’s commands.In the bedroom, yes, but her wearing toys outside of their playtime?She hadn’t expected it, yet she hadn’t said her safe word.Confusion filled her.Logic said nothing outside the bedroom or the dungeon, but her heart wanted to make Ry and Jed proud of her.

Ry had mentioned training, and it wasn’t a foreign concept to her.She understood about sub training from Pam and her classes and later had seen it in some of the clubs she’d visited.But until Ry mentioned it last night, she hadn’t even thought about it for herself.

Even with the toy inside her and keeping her on edge, she’d visited several office spaces today to see how they would work for her accounting business.It had taken all her willpower to walk around the offices, checking everything out.The balls rubbed up against her pussy walls, making her clit tingle.
