Page 14 of See You Sometime

And that was about it.

Eliza sat on Skye’s far side, Rusty next to her. “You know,” Skye said, “no offense, Rusty, but I never pictured you as a Dom.”

Eliza snorted. “Then you’re still on track.”

Rusty rolled his eyes, “Gee, thanks, Ma’am.”

Without even looking back at him, Eliza’s hand shot up, grabbed his earlobe, and pulled in him close. “What was that, barbarian?”

He swallowed. “Sorry, Ma’am.”

Skye nodded. “NowI see what you mean.” And ittotallymade sense.

Skye was going to ask about Axel when Darryl, Grant, and Susie walked in.

Susie was either pregnant, or Skye was going to stay away from a very obvious potential topic of conversation.

Eliza leaned in. “Yes, she’s pregnant with their baby.”

Whew. Another round of reunions took place, the triad settling at their table and filling it up.

“Hey, can we work Skye into our game?” Rusty asked Grant, who turned out to be in charge of their triad.

“Absolutely.”

“I don’t have any books or dice or anything.”

“That’s okay,” Darryl said. “We’ve got you covered.”

She was once again going to ask about Axel when the dinner was called to order. Ross introduced himself and Loren and gave a brief talk about the munch, the local lifestyle scene and events, and Venture, the BDSM club in the area. Before they started the introductions, he called for announcements.

On the far side of the room, a woman’s hand shot up.

“Cali?”

She stood. “Many of you know we’ve been helping out at the club. We’re always looking for more volunteers. One of the perks is you get free entry to the regular club play sessions in exchange for working. So anyone who wants to get added, let me know. We’re holding a volunteer meeting tomorrow night at eight to go over stuff.”

Skye held up her hand, as did three other people.

Cali was closest to Skye, and as the introductions kicked off, going table by table, Cali swooped in with a smile and her phone in hand to take down Skye’s information.

“We vouch for her,” Eliza said. “We’ve known her for twenty-plus years, although we didn’t realize she was kinky.”

“Since I know her parents, and helped her get her job, I’ll vouch for her, too,” Jenny said.

Darryl raised his hand. “Add the three of us to the vouching list.”

Cali grinned. “You realize I’m going to chain you to the front desk and not let you leave, right?”

Skye laughed. “But what if I like that?”

“Oooh, you are sooo going to fit right in. Tomorrow night, eight, at Venture. You know the address?”

“I’ll get it off the website.”

Cali texted her. “That’s my cell. If you have any questions or concerns, let me know. And let me know what your FetLife name is and I’ll friend you there.”

“Thanks.”
