Chapter 14
Henry
We left the munch happy and excited to play with our new toys. We’d spent too much on collars and a flogger, and there had been a demonstration of Shibari that had intrigued Mari and convinced her to buy some rope — she loved bondage, and I was sure she had new things she wanted to do to Jason. It had been a busy night, both working and attending the event, but we’d met some really interesting people. And I’d enjoyed watching Mari and Jason meet new friends as I worked.
We stopped by Jason’s apartment after the event, where he packed a bag, ready to stay with us for the next few days, or maybe more. I couldn’t imagine ever letting him sleep in his own bed again, but I knew we needed to give him space if he requested it. He packed quickly, like he was in a hurry to get back to our place, though, and soon we were back in his driveway, standing by our Subaru. He would drive his Land Rover over behind us, so he’d be able to drive to work.
“Are you nervous about staying with us for a few days?” Mari asked as he loaded his suitcase and shut his trunk.
“No. Not at all,” Jason said. “I suppose it helps that you two are the people I trust most in the world.” He lifted his hand, tugging on the chain around his neck. And fuck, Mari was right. It was perfect. He was already showing an unconscious acknowledgement that he was ours. Well, that or the chain was bothering him.
“Come on, let’s go home,” I said, opening the car door for my wife as Jason climbed into his truck to follow us.
“Home,” Mari said, smiling. “Maybe one day it’ll be Jason’s home, too, not just a place he’s visiting.”
I rubbed her shoulder. “It’s all happening quickly. I think we should just let things progress naturally.”
“Yeah,” she said, turning to face me. Her eyes were bright, and I could tell she wanted to talk.
“What is it?” I asked.
“I don’t know,” she said, biting her lip. Then she took a breath. “I’m nervous about getting close to him, I guess. We’ve been his friends through all of it. The cheating, the crazy antics. How can we know it won’t blow up in our faces to date him seriously?”
“I guess everything in life is a risk. Is he worth the risk?”
Mari nodded. “Yes. Yes, he is. He was so good to me today. It’s just difficult to reconcile that Jason with the one who would go out with another woman when he was engaged.”
“What if he was just waiting for us to notice him?” I asked.
“I suppose.” She didn’t look convinced, but she wasn’t completely resistant, either.
“Don’t get ahead of yourself, love. We haven’t talked about any of this being serious yet,” I reminded her.
“But it is, you know it is,” she said. “We love him.” Her words made me warm all over, and I reached out and squeezed her hand.
“We do.” I grinned. “Besides, now any woman he does anything with will have to ask him why his cock is locked up and he’s wearing a heart-shaped padlock as a necklace.”
She burst out laughing. “I couldn’t believe how quickly he agreed to that. I thought we’d have a fight, that he wouldn’t want to wear it when people might see it.”
“He wants to show everyone how much he belongs to us,” I said, feeling that to my core. And the knowledge made me feel warm all over.
“So, what do we do tonight? The three of us together?”
I grinned at her. “You’re going to have all of your holes filled, my dear. And you’re going to come so damn hard.”
She moaned, leaning back against her seat and closing her eyes.
