Chapter 17
CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
The following Saturday, Chris leaned against the wall in Club Indigo’s main room.
He had put on the leather DM vest for the early shift, and he and Yvonne would play later.
His mind wandered over the previous weeks and his relationship with Kate and Yvonne.
The hardest part was to figure out their one-on-one interactions.
When Chris had come up with the idea of a ménage, he hadn’t realized there would be four dynamics: all of them, Chris and Yvonne, the women together, and he and Kate.
Rather than making a schedule, they had decided to play it by ear.
The previous Friday they hadn’t played at the club but had gone to the movies instead to watch Thor: Love and Thunder because apparently Kate liked action heroes, and Yvonne had a thing for Chris Hemsworth.
Chris smiled at the memory. Yvonne had gushed about how handsome the guy was and how much he and Chris looked alike. As if he was some Hollywood pretty boy!
Chris forced his attention back to the scene in front of him.
One of the newer Doms had tied Sonja to the spiderweb.
Derek Kiriakis seemed a decent guy, and it looked like he matched well with Sonja.
Chris’s opinion about him as a Dom was still open.
He needed to see more, and it looked like tonight he would have the opportunity.
Somehow, he felt protective over Sonja. Not all Doms could handle her bratty mouth, and Chris had never seen her play in the central room.
Did the Dom push her too hard, or had the other Doms been too lenient?
She’d been a submissive at the club for a long time, and Chris had played with her several times.
He’d never developed a deep connection with her, but she was a nice woman, and he wanted a good Dom for her.
Derek caught his gaze, and Chris moved closer to the scene.
“Problems?” he asked, curious why the other Dom wanted him in the scene.
“Not really, but I could do with an extra pair of eyes for the next part.” Derek glanced over to Sonja, who looked relaxed and was waiting patiently for the moment. “I want to give her a sensual flogging but with a tad more pain than she would usually enjoy.”
Chris lifted his head. “It’s about time someone pushed her boundaries. Despite all of us trying to give Sonja what she needs, we’ve only ever scratched the surface. None of us have gotten to the heart of her submission. She’s submissive, no doubt about that, but something is holding her back.”
Derek grunted his agreement. “She is. I think she’s a special kind of sub who needs a stern but loving hand. Let’s see if I can push her with orgasms and pain.”
Chris clapped him on the back. “I’ll be here if you need me.”
Derek nodded his thanks, his total focus back on the bound submissive in front of him.
He untied the flogger from his belt and shook out the strands.
Chris bit back a chuckle as Sonja’s eyes fixed on the suede tresses—a nice mix of anticipation and fear on her face.
Derek ran the flogger through his hand and landed it lightly on her right breast. Using a simple figure-of-eight pattern, he moved the strands over both globes.
Derek kept a steady rhythm, until Sonja was panting and squeezing her eyes shut.
He lowered the flogger and ran his hands over her breasts, until she relaxed and opened her eyes.
Chris stood back, his focus on Sonja’s face rather than where Derek’s hands roamed her body.
Chris was a total breast-man, and Sonja had a fantastic rack, but this wasn’t about his desires.
Her relaxed expression pleased Chris, but her eyes were alert and didn’t show the soft submission he liked in a woman.
“How are you doing, sub?” Derek moved closer to her and stroked a bound arm. Nice!
“Okay, Sir.”
“On a scale from one to ten for how much you can take, how would you rate this?”
“A two, I think.” Sonja chewed her bottom lip.
“You think?” Derek’s forehead creased, and Chris silently applauded him. Good catch!
“Well, if zero is no pain and ten is intolerable.”
“Let me rephrase, on a scale you’d still enjoy, but a ten is reaching your endurance,” Derek amended.
“Oh, in that case, about five.”
Derek nodded as if he had been expecting the answer. “Can I rely on you to use ‘yellow’ when I reach about nine, baby?”
Chris didn’t believe for a moment Derek would go this far. The other Dom didn’t strike him as a sadist, and Sonja—assuredly—was not a masochist. Was Derek aware the mind was the biggest sex organ, and with a smart woman like Sonja it needed to be engaged?
“Yes, Sir.” Sonja’s jutting chin showed she wasn’t impressed. Yet!
Derek raised the flogger and started again. With Sonja’s dark skin it was hard to see the markings, but Derek alternated the strokes of the whip with touches of his hand.
Good enough. He was testing the skin temperature. Definitely an experienced Dominant.
Sonja’s breathing became heavier and deeper.
She had her head thrown back against the web, her eyes closed, and her mouth wide open.
Her hands were balled into fists, and her toes curled like she wanted to ball them, too.
Derek seemed to catch on also, as he dropped the flogger again and pressed his body into hers.
Chris stepped closer when Sonja relaxed against Derek, with her head against his chest.
“She’s had enough.” Derek spoke to Chris without taking his focus off the spaced-out submissive.
“I think you’re right. You’ve obviously had a lot of experience with both the flogger and subs. Let me unbuckle her and clean up, so you can do the aftercare.” Chris handed him a subbie blanket.
He unhooked the cuffs from the web and was impressed by the high-quality leather and safety hooks Derek had used. Sonja leaned heavily on Derek, but he supported her weight without any problem. Derek wrapped Sonja in the blanket and took her with him. Perfect!
He was liking Derek more. Chris pulled a handful of cleaning wipes from the container and started to scrub the equipment.
While he worked, he enjoyed the club’s atmosphere and the music coming from the speakers.
It was about an hour and a half before his DM shift ended then he would see Kate and Yvonne.
Tonight, he would have a one-on-one scene with Yvonne, while Kate did her volunteer duty.
Afterward, they all would go home, and who knew what would happen.
Chris concentrated on his task while humming along with Nightwish.
He would keep himself busy while waiting for his lovers.
