CHAPTER 14

Reba

“I have a surprise for you.” Johnny said while lying in bed on a regular Thursday night.

“Oh yeah? What kind of surprise?”

“The kind that has my mom showing up tomorrow morning so we can fly back to Rawhide Ranch.”

“What? Why?”

His grin widened. “Because there is a whole side of the Ranch that we never got a chance to spend time at.”

“The Dungeon?”

“You got it.”

We had talked about it on and off over the last few weeks, but never in a million years did I think that he would actually take me. I mean, he even told me he was going to send one of the guys up to drive my truck and camper back.

“Wait, have you been planning this all along?”

“Maybe,” he said with a shit-eating grin on his face. “I mean it's something that I’ve wanted to do with you. I just had a feeling that unless I made all the arrangements and surprised you with the trip, we’d never make it.”

“That’s true. I always feel like we have so much going on.”

“We do, but the time we spend together is equally important. You’ve wanted to experiment with some voyeurism and I figured that would be the perfect place. The time we spent at The Pendulum has been great but we would need to be members there and the process is long. We can start it when we get home now that we’re done with the mentorship program. I called and talked to Derek at Rawhide. As long as we are guests at the ranch, we have access to the Dungeon. I also spoke with Drake who assured me I could even get some additional tips on the Shibari you so love. So that’s where we are headed in the morning.”

The excitement of the flight and drive out to Rawhide made me anxious as hell. I loved staying there. The resort was amazing, but I had never ventured my way down to the Dungeon. The truth was I’d never really known if it was something I was ready for. But the more Johnny and I explored what we liked and didn’t like about the world of BDSM, the more I’d thought about coming back.

The car pulled up to the expansive three-story building. We climbed the steps to the front porch and made our way into the lobby through a massive set of double doors. It was huge but cozy in a strange but familiar way. When I’d come here for work, the staff, the guest, the atmosphere had made this building feel more like an actual log-cabin house than a resort, but now that I had made a home with Johnny and Jax, this just felt like a really nice place to vacation.

“Fancy seeing you all back so soon,” Luna said as we approached the front desk. “I thought I saw your names on a reservation, but I was surprised since I heard you headed back to New York. How are you feeling, Reba?”

“Good as new,” I said, rubbing my side as the memories of my injury still felt a little too close.

“Good to hear. I’ve got you all set. You’re in room 106 and Moses will make sure all your bags are delivered there.”

“Thanks, Luna. It’s good to see you,” Johnny said before taking my hand and leading me away. “Are you hungry?”

“No, I’m good actually. I’d love to wander around a bit. It feels so different being here as a guest who’s on vacation and not someone who is up here to work.”

“They didn’t treat you as a guest before?”

“Of course they did, but my mind was set on other things. I never really got to take in the beauty of this place. Most of the time, I moved in and out through the employee tunnels and never spent much time topside within the resort. I’d even wondered why Mac had booked me into the B I wanted his dominance to take away my control because control for me fed into my anxiety and I really didn’t need that right now.

When we got closer, Johnny took a seat in a cushy-looking chair that was in perfect view of the two men. One was strapped to the cross, and the other was standing behind him, whispering something into his ear as Johnny motioned for me to sit on his knee.

I complied, feeling proud that I was his submissive. He rubbed small circles into my lower back as I sat straight and took in the sight in front of me. They were beautiful. The man who was behind the other took a step back and slowly ran one of the two floggers he had in his hands over the bound man’s shoulders and down his spine.

“He’s warming him up,” Johnny whispered, not wanting to disturb their scene or the others around us watching.

“They are beautiful.”

The man at the cross shivered as the second flogger was added to the mix, both running up and down his back, arms and legs until suddenly, without warning, his Top shifted back on his heels and swung the flogger with precision I didn’t even know was possible.

The man at the cross cried out in what sounded more like surprised pleasure than pain.

“Does it hurt?”

“It can. But some, like you, my Crazy Rider, like the pain.”

A shiver ran through my body this time as Johnny’s fingers slid between my waistband and my shirt, skimming over my heated skin.

“Sir?”

“Yes?”

“Will we get a chance to try that while we are here?”

“If that’s something you’d like. I brought our floggers.”

I turned to him without permission and immediately turned back. “Sir, when did we get floggers?”

Johnny’s deep chuckle moved through me. “It was on your list, so I’ve been training. I ordered them months ago.”

“Training on who?”

“Well, that’s where it gets complicated.” My body tensed, always thinking the worst but what he said next was not what I was expecting. “You know that old teddy bear Jax left in the barn?”

“You’ve been flogging your son’s teddy bear?” I couldn’t help the laugh that escaped me.

“I watched a video, and they said that was a great way to practice, so that’s what I’ve been doing.”

“Permission to look at you and speak freely, Sir?”

“Permission granted.”

I turned in my spot. “So hold up, when are you flogging teddy bears? Are you doing this with the guys? Because I certainly haven’t seen that bear in our house.”

Johnny laughed loud enough this time to garner the attention of some of the onlookers. “No, I don’t do it with the guys. I mean, Evan may have shown me a few things, but I wanted to be ready for the weekend. Now watch the guys before you miss their entire scene.”

I turned back, my mind reeling with thoughts of Johnny flogging a teddy bear, when eventually the scene in front of me consumed all my thoughts and those of the poor little teddy were long gone.

I watched as the Top in the scene moved gracefully as he wielded both floggers. They were thick leather and honestly were probably soft as could be when they weren’t being swung at someone’s bottom. The man on the cross had his head leaning against his right arm that was stretched above him. I couldn’t see his face, due to the way he was restrained but by the lack of strength left in his body I could only assume he was thoroughly ravaged. His Top still didn’t stop. Again and again the hits came, until finally the man let the floggers fall to his sides and stepped forward again. His body covered that of his partner. I couldn’t hear what was being said but the two of them were mesmerizing. The Top ran his hands and floggers over the other and the connection between the two of them was so intense I could feel it from only a few feet away.

Johnny’s arms wrapped around my waist and he pulled me to him, holding me in his arms as if I were nothing more than a child.

“Amazing isn’t it? The love that radiates between the two of them?”

“It really is.” I pulled my gaze away from the men and looked up at Johnny. “Thank you for this. We only just got here, but I can already tell this is a weekend I will never forget.”

His lips covered mine, and I got lost in everything that was Johnny. Finally, he pulled away and I watched the two men finish cooling down and end their scene in each other's arms.

“Let’s head to our room. I have something I’d like to do before we go to the lounge tonight.”

The way his eyebrows rose in my direction, I wasn’t the slightest bit surprised as he started stripping out of his clothes the second we made it to our suite.

“What do you think you are doing?” I asked with a laugh as I tried to take in our amazing room. There was a beautiful king-size poster bed in the center of the room and only a few steps from the bed were glass doors that opened to a hot tub and a gorgeous view of the mountains.

“Trying to woo you with my charming ways,” he said as he jumped naked onto the bed with an arm outstretched.

“That is just so unbelievably sexy,” I said with a laugh.

“Come on, take your clothes off.”

“Fine, but only to get into that hot tub,” I said, opening the doors and stripping out of my clothes, leaving him to come find me.

I pressed the button to get the jets started and slid into the warm water as soon as I lost the last of my clothes.

“I think we need one of these for home.”

“Pretty sure we couldn’t enjoy it like this.” He sunk down and reached for me. “In fact, I’m one hundred percent certain Jax would find a way to spend every day in it if he could.”

“Good point. Maybe we don’t need one, we could just come and vacation here every few months.”

“Now that’s a plan I can get behind.”

Johnny pressed his lips to mine as I straddled his hips and wrapped my arms around his neck. I could feel him hard beneath me and I knew I was pushing it, but I just couldn’t help myself. I pulled back just enough to move my mouth to his neck. Biting was a thing on his list but I still hadn’t done it. Until now. My teeth closed over his warm skin and I closed my mouth, harder than I had planned, but damn it felt amazing. Now I knew why he liked biting my breasts so much.

Johnny’s hips thrust up, and he growled, pulling me off him and picking me up, sitting me on the side of the hot tub. “Want to play rough, do you?”

Before I could do anything he took a huge bite out of my inner thigh. My hips moved forward and he took advantage of my position sliding a finger deep inside me before moving to my clit, sucking away as if I were his own personal lollipop.

I moaned louder than before without a care of who could hear me. I know Johnny mentioned the rooms were soundproof, but the reality was we were outside and anyone could walk by on this gorgeous afternoon and hear me moaning like a cat in heat.

“Fuck, you taste good.”

“Fuck me, please, Sir.”

Johnny straightened. The way he moved between my partner and my Sir was amazing.

“Stand up, Crazy Rider and lean over that chair.”

My eyes went wide. We were really doing this. He was about to fuck me right out here on the deck. I did as he said while he went back in the room. I heard him rustling around in our bags and when he returned, he had covered himself in a condom.

His hands reached me before anything else. I loved how he always ran them over my ass, up my back and around to my breasts. The feel of his hands on me was literally the best thing in the world.

I felt the cold lubricant he pressed inside me before lining himself up and thrusting into me.

“Fuck yeah,” I let out as I gripped the back of the chair, waiting for more.

“Do you like that?”

“Yes, sir.”

“Very good.”

He gripped my hips, pulling out almost completely, then slammed into me again. The movement shifted me forward, and he pulled me back to him before slowing everything down. His fingers shifted to between my folds and he circled my clit as he began the slow and steady pace he knew I loved. There were times for fast and hard but, right now, I just wanted to come and for me that was slow, steady and reliable. Which was everything Johnny could be if he wanted to.

Before long, I was lost in the movements, my pulse raced and my mind cleared as pleasure overcame me. I cried out my release and continued to scream as Johnny pumped into me, taking what he needed to reach a climax just as sweet as mine.

If this type of sexual freedom was a thing around here, I was a fan. And to think, we still hadn’t even seen the Dungeon.
