Chapter Nine

 

 

With the sun peeking over the horizon and into the windows of Thomas’s bedroom, Gabby tiptoed from the room, hoping not to wake him. He’d spent hours teaching her the most delicious lesson of her life, and she’d been thoroughly made love to through most of the night.

Her body ached in every place imaginable as she remembered the spanking, the table and the unbelievable night before. She’d been amazed by Thomas’s stamina when he’d exercised incredible control and fucked her for hours. A fleeting thought of her giant tub with its heated jets at home had a quiet moan slipping from her mouth. First things first, she needed to pee and get coffee and not necessarily in that order.

She wandered from room to room in the oversized house until she finally located the grand kitchen. And yes, grand was the only word she could think of to describe it. Half of her townhome would fit in this room, and the oversized appliances and granite countertops blew away her small kitchenette with its standard Formica and apartment-sized appliances. It was the one thing she hated about her house, but being able to call it all her own had won out over her desire for a larger kitchen.

Gabby paused and took a moment to gaze over every surface, imagining having free rein to cook in here. Maybe sometime, if things progressed, Thomas would allow her to cook for him here. After all, they said the way to a man’s heart was through his stomach.

Don’t go there, Gabby. It wouldn’t do her heart well to get to attached to any of this. Thomas was looking for a sub not a wife, and she didn’t need that kind of attachment, either. She’d had enough of that with her ex.

“Penny for your thoughts.”

Gabby jerked and clutched her heart at the sudden voice from the other side of the room. She turned and found David sitting in the breakfast nook with a cup of coffee and a newspaper spread out in front of him.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you, but the look on your face seemed so intense and you were frowning. I’m curious what that was about. Did you not enjoy your night with Master Thomas?”

Gabby stood transfixed at the sight of him in jeans and bare chest. His disheveled blond hair and smooth skin made him impossibly beautiful; it was hard not to stare. She averted her eyes to the floor, trying to think of something else before she melted in front of him in a puddle of arousal. She could well imagine the effect he would have on women at Sanctuary. He would be a very popular Dom indeed. A brief flash of jealousy surged through her.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t know anyone was in here.” She crossed her arms over her breasts to hide the fact that her nipples had hardened and it dawned on her she was still naked. Panic filled her as she frantically sought to hide or cover herself.

“I’m an early riser. I like to get a swim in first thing in the morning before breakfast, especially today.”

“Why especially today?” Gabby scurried around the kitchen island so that her lower half would no longer be in view. God, next to his perfection, he must find her body repulsive.

He flashed her a huge grin. “While beautiful, listening to your screams of ecstasy through the night tends to leave a man restless with some aggression to burn.”

Gabby’s face burned hot. “I’m sorry if we kept you from sleep.”

David set his paper aside and stood from the table. “Don’t be sorry, sugar. I’m certainly not. In fact, I can’t wait to get started in our training so I can make you scream like that for me.” As he walked toward her, Gabby couldn’t help but notice the look of arousal in his eyes as well as the bulge in his jeans. And he wasn’t alone. His words gave her a jolt of lust, and already, moisture pooled between her thighs. The desire to be on her knees with his hands in her hair as his cock slid between her lips whipped through her. She screwed he eyes shut trying to block that particular image from her mind.

After last night, only Thomas should be dominating her wants and desires. She definitely shouldn’t have cravings for the man standing in front of her.

Easier said than done. David was a good-looking man with a nice personality to match. A woman would have to be dead not to feel anything for him, right?

He stopped on the other side of the counter, observing her with knowing eyes. “Why are you hiding behind there? Are you uncomfortable with your nudity?”

She nodded, wishing now she would have just stayed in bed. What if Thomas walked in and saw them like this? Would he toss her out if he found out she was attracted to David? Or worse give her to him like she’d originally feared.

David reached for her hand and attempted to tug her arms from around her chest. She held on for dear life, reluctant to reveal herself anymore than she already had.

“Why be embarrassed now? I saw everything last night, and I liked what I saw very much. A woman should be round and soft, not skinny with bones showing through their skin.”

Gabby snorted in disbelief.

Whatever.

How could he prefer her over the gorgeous thin women crawling all over town?

“Bare your breasts to him now, Gabrielle.” Thomas’s stern voice startled her from her indulgent thoughts.

She turned her head to see him standing in the entryway looking freshly showered and dressed impeccably. With his gaze on her, and David in the corner of her eye, she reluctantly lowered her arms to her side.

“Good girl.” He moved into the room, grabbing a mug from the shelf and poured himself a cup of coffee. She stood stock still while he took a few sips and waited for what would come next.

“Why are you trying to hide? Did I not make myself clear last night?”

“Yes, Sir you did.” Even in a mild state of irritation, Thomas’s voice made her shiver in delight.

“Then move around and stand in front of David. He shouldn’t have to ask you twice. Unless you have a problem. Do you have a problem we need to discuss, Gabrielle?”

Yes. No. Fuck! She shook her head.

“Good, then do as I asked. We’re going to start with a basic lesson now and see if we can get you past wanting to hide from either of us.”

Gabby followed Thomas’ instruction and walked around the counter, stopping a couple of feet in front of the other man.

“I think we’re going to need some rules. The first rule I want you to understand is this. Whenever I’m not around, you will obey David and any request he makes of you as if it were me making the request. Do you understand and agree with this?”

“Yes, Sir.” Gabby’s stomach clenched at the thought of two men commanding her at their will. She’d never dreamed things would go this far, but more than a little part of her was excited. That excitement warred with her fear of the unknown as she stood and waited to see what Thomas had in mind for her this morning.

“First thing we’ll do is inspect you Gabrielle. It’s a little more formal than I had intended to start off with, but you seem to still have an issue with showing your naked body. So we’ll work on that since it’s the perfect opportunity for David to join in. Do you know what a full inspection entails?”

She shook her head, fear paralyzing her voice. She could only imagine what all he had in mind. He’d already taken a close look at her the other day when he’d spanked her. What more did he want? For the first time in a long time, her research felt inadequate, leaving her unbalanced and vulnerable. Without the comfort of knowledge, she would have no control of the situation.

“No…Not really.” She tried to control the shaking of her voice but miserably failed.

“Try to relax, Gabrielle. We’re going to take this nice and slow.”

A light touch at the small of her back soothed her as he spoke. Her mind took the show of strength he gave her and used it to calm her nerves one slow breath at a time.

“First, I want you to put your hands behind your head and spread your legs shoulder width apart.”

Gabby moved her arms and legs as instructed, opening her body to both David in front of her and Thomas behind her. In this position, her breasts were pushed up and outward, giving either man access to her pussy and ass. Her automatic response screamed at her to run for cover now before it was too late, but the hunger in David’s gaze as he swept from her head to her hips brought a rush of heat to her sex that kept her rooted to the spot.

“Don’t think about it, Gabrielle. Don’t wonder whether anything is right or wrong. Don’t try to control the situation even in your mind. Give yourself to us and trust that we will do what is best for us all.” Thomas had moved in closer, his breath caressing her neck and ear while he spoke. “Spread your legs wider.” His foot touched the inside of her leg nudging her to where he wanted it to go.

“David will examine your breasts first, so hold very still and don’t move unless either one of us instructs you to.”

“Yes, Sir.” She watched David take a sure step forward and reach for her without hesitation or reserve. Gabby held her breath.

His long fingers traced the outside curve from the top to the bottom of each one before lifting and pushing them slightly together. The gentle caresses were steady and comforting until his thumbs flicked across her nipples. A small gasp slipped from her mouth, and David smiled at her.

“Sensitive nipples I see.”

She nodded.

“Does nipple play get you wet? Can you come from it?” He pulled and twisted the hardened tips until her breath panted from between her lips.

“I-I’ve never come from just someone touching my nipples before.”

With a tight squeeze and pull on both tips, pain and pleasure streaked through her like a blazing fire straight to her clit. Gabby’s mouth opened on a shriek of shock as a fresh wave of moisture pooled between her legs. When his fingers released her as suddenly as they had grabbed her, she whimpered from relief and loss.

“You’d like to have more now, wouldn’t you?” Thomas whispered. “I don’t think it will take much training to have her coming on demand without either of us ever touching her little clit. But to be sure, you need to examine just how aroused that got her.”

David’s hands gave her breasts one last squeeze before he traced a path down her torso and into the small patch of curls that hid her pussy from full view. “Don’t most submissives keep their pussy shaved bare?” David looked over her shoulder as he asked his question so she knew he was talking to Thomas not her. She hadn’t actually thought of that before now although it should have dawned on her. She’d heard the very same thing.

“Yes, they do, especially if their Doms are the kind into exhibitionism like myself who like to show off their girls.”

A fresh jolt of fear sliced through her at the thought of being engaged in exhibitionist play.

“I think you scared her on that one, Thomas.”

“I’ll bet I did.” His hands tightened at her waist.

Before she could voice her questions about what he meant, David’s fingers slid through her slick folds to find her more turned on than she’d thought possible.

“Fuck. She is soaked.” His fingers swirled and stroked, even glancing across her clit a few times. When her legs began to tremble with the need he’d created, Thomas told him to stop.

“I don’t want her coming yet.”

Regret lanced through her as she fought for the control not to ruin the whole thing. A few slow breaths in and out, and she felt the crazy urge to orgasm begin to recede. Thank God.

“Now, you want to check with your fingers to see if her tightness is to your liking.”

Oh no.

David didn’t waste any time as he quickly pushed two fingers inside of her. He fucked them methodically in and out with an occasional pause to stretch his fingers or curl them against her G-spot. Her hard fought control dissipated to nothingness as an impending orgasm had her bucking her hips against his hand, hoping he would rub her clit and give her the sweet relief so desperately needed. Later, when she could think straight again, she’d contemplate how they got to her so fast.

A hard swat landed on her ass. “Did I tell you it was okay to move?”

“No, Sir,” she breathed heavily.

“Did anyone give you permission to come?”

“No, Sir.”

“Then I suggest you hold still as instructed.” Thomas wrapped his fingers gently around her neck and held her still. “You need a collar and leash for what all I have planned for you, but for now, at the very least, a collar.”

Gabby whined. The image that popped in her head was too much to bear. The pressure behind her clit bordered on the edge of pain.

“David are you satisfied with her pussy?”

“Very much so.”

“Good then remove your fingers, and let’s move on.” David pulled from her body and Gabby fought not to let the tears fall that sprang into her eyes. Thomas withdrew his touch as well, leaving her cold without their combined heat warming her.

“Gabrielle, turn and face me please.”

She swiveled, looking up at Thomas to await further instruction.

His fingers cupped her chin. “You’re doing very well, sweetheart. I’m quite proud of you. Do you believe yet that I will take care of you?”

Gabby hesitated unsure of what he wanted to hear.

A frown crossed his face, and he shook his head. “That’s okay, it takes time. Let’s continue. Spread your legs wide and bend down, touching your fingers to the floor.” Gabby stared at him, not even bothering to disguise her disbelief. The position he’d asked her to take would open both her ass and pussy to David in such an intimate way…

A shiver worked down her spine. She should be humiliated. Any normal woman would be. Instead, her skin heated for an entirely different reason.

“Do you want to stop?”

She shook her head.

Thomas raised an eyebrow.

“I mean no, Sir.” She couldn’t stop now. They’d come so far, and the need clawing at her insides had priority over a twinge of discomfort. Gabby moved her legs a little wider and bent at the waist, placing her palms flat on the floor. When Thomas began explaining to David the need to check every inch of a submissive’s body, she tuned out their voices. She didn’t want to hear them discussing her asshole and vagina in clinical terms. She wanted someone to fuck her, and at the moment she didn’t really care which one did.

How had that happened? And what did it mean that she no longer worried about two men she didn’t know all that well touching and fondling her in any manner they chose. With both men standing behind her she had no idea which man owned the hand that rubbed the smooth skin of her bottom or which one traced the seam all the way to her heated sex. Her pussy squeezed.

“Gabrielle. Are you listening?” Thomas’s voice broke through her arousal-fogged brain, although she had no idea what he’d been saying.

“Um…yes, Sir.”

The hand resting on the crack of her ass trailed along the seam, through the slick folds and gave her labia a quick hard pinch. She gasped.

“You should be listening, considering the importance of what’s being done here. Would a spanking get your attention?”

“I’m…I’m sorry, Sir.” Fuck. Please don’t pinch me there again. She knew better than to say that out loud but still…

“Then reach your hands back here and pull apart your cheeks like I asked the first time. David wants to get a closer look.”

Her body jolted at his words. She pressed her hands to her knees to regain her balance, giving herself a chance to dig deep for the resolve to get this done.

“Gabrielle…”

She sensed his displeasure at her hesitation.

You can do this Gabby.

Maybe once this was over they would allow her to come. It was a little disconcerting how easily she succumbed in the face of her need. Despite that, she grasped her cheeks and pulled them apart, exposing herself like she’d never before, reminding herself that pleasing them pleased her and would likely lead to the reward her body screamed for.

Both men complimented her on her obedience as well as her beautiful body. Not that she totally believed them on the second part. Most men did not find women her size especially attractive. Passable maybe, nice even, but beautiful? Hardly. Although a few men who had a thing for big asses had given her many a compliment. That always made her smile. She did have an hourglass shape with a round bubble butt.

A finger tapped against the tight hole of her bottom and roused Gabby from her runaway thoughts as sensation roiled through her, leaving her clit to pulse and ache even more than before.

“Have you ever been fucked in the ass?”

Gabby frequently fantasized about anal play, despite her one bad experience with her ex, and had used her vibrator there several times. It wasn’t easy to admit that she wanted to be taken there as much as she feared it.

“Only once, but I experimented a little on my own.” Her voice shook as the tapping increased to a steady rhythm that kept a constant stream of tremors racing across her skin. Goose bumps exploded.

“You will be and likely often. Are you okay with that?”

Muscles clenched at the unknown while more moisture coated her sex. Did he really expect her to answer that?

“Gabrielle, relax. You’re safe here. No desire is too dark or too deep. The only bad in all of this is if you aren’t honest.” He paused long enough to move closer and lowered his voice. “Will you let us take what we want and in return give you everything you need?”

The steady tone of his voice calmed through her. He soothed her with his reassurances.

“Yes, Sir,” she answered.

Immediately, fingers dipped into her pussy and spread ample moisture to her behind, lubricating her just enough for a finger to push inside and past the tight ring of muscle. Her body stiffened at the invasion.

“Relax, babe. We’re just getting a feel for it,” David said.

She did her best to follow David’s instructions while he pushed his finger all the way inside.

“So very tight. I certainly hope Thomas will share this with me some day.”

She moaned at his words. She longed to experience so much, even some things she didn’t comprehend. David continued to work, rubbing his fingers against sensitive tissues. Fresh heat clawed at her insides, demanding more. She pushed back hoping to show him her eagerness to serve that desire right now.

“Such an eager little girl, aren’t you?” David teased her with words as well as his finger until she wanted to cry with frustration.

“I think that’s enough for her inspection.”

David’s touch slipped away and an arm wrapped around her waist.

“You can stand now, sweetheart.” Thomas’s voice softened as he helped her to an upright position on weak and shaky legs.

“I-I need…”

“I know, Gabrielle, and you deserve it.” He turned her into his arms and held her tight against his warmth. That simple show of pride increased her need tenfold until finally his lips took hers in a slow, luxurious kiss. His thigh lifted and rubbed against her swollen clit, the fabric of his pants adding to the already red-hot friction. Completely focused on his arms holding her and the constant ache in her pussy, she rode his leg, whimpering mindlessly into his mouth. She was too damned aroused to be embarrassed by the fact she stood in his kitchen, being watched by another man as she humped Thomas without shame.

Her body shook. Please. Help me!

Pulling back, he broke the kiss. “Do it, sweetheart. Come for me now.”

She’d waited so long for that permission she almost cried when he gave it. Her hips bucked and rolled against him over and over until the world around her exploded. She thrashed and twisted in his arms, the orgasm penetrating every cell in her body. Fast and rough, she moved on him beyond the point of exhaustion.

When she would have collapsed into a puddle on the floor, Thomas gripped her waist with a firm grip and held her upright. Gabby buried her face into his shoulder as her heart rate returned to normal, the realization of her actions pounding into her on every beat. Despite her eager obedience, a sense of embarrassment washed over her. She struggled in Thomas’ arms for freedom. Her only thought to flee and hide in the bedroom.

“Stop fighting it, beautiful. You have nothing to be ashamed of. Your desires are a fucking turn on. You should remember that.” As if to prove his point, Thomas pressed the hard length of his cock into the soft skin of her belly. Despite the fabric between them, his heat seeped into her flesh. A new ache formed low and deep. “You want and you fear. I can see it across your face. You have to completely submit. Until then, we teach, you listen, we fuck.”

Gabby’s brain melted. She glanced furtively at the doorway and sighed. Hiding was simply out of the question. Neither Thomas nor David would ever allow it again.

“So what were your plans for this morning?”

As the sexual haze slowly faded away she remembered the coffee she’d been after. Some caffeine would do wonders right about now.

“I…uh…just wanted to get some coffee.” She mumbled against his shirt. Both men chuckled, and even she couldn’t hold in a grin.

“I’ll get it for her.” When David walked away to get her cup, Thomas carried her to the table and tucked her into a chair.

“Be sure to drink some water and eat something as well. It’s critical to stay hydrated and healthy when your body has been taxed repeatedly.” He winked at her. “As for me, I’ve got to go and change my clothes and then we’ll see about making our future arrangements.”

She blushed furiously as she tried not to look down at his pant leg where she’d certainly left a wet spot. The man had a way of making her come so damn hard.

She eagerly accepted the steaming mug from David who settled in the seat across from her. He watched her as she took her first gulp, closing her eyes at the warm sensation sliding down her throat, refreshing her. There was something magical about that first cup of java early in the morning. She normally drank two to three cups a day, but nothing was as precious as the first.

When her throat cooled and she was ready for more, she opened her eyes to find David still staring at her.

“What?”

“You even make drinking a cup of coffee sensuous. I think my dick got even harder watching that little look of pure ecstasy while you drank that. You’re an amazing woman, Gabrielle. Thank you.”

She swallowed hard, her emotions still raw from their scene. “Shouldn’t you thank Thomas instead of me?”

“Oh I will, rest assured, but more importantly is the way you acquiesced to the entire thing, allowing me to share in your submission. I know some of that wasn’t easy for you.”

“How could you tell?” She had gone to great lengths to hide her discomfort.

“Every time you were asked to do something you didn’t like, a little muscle ticked in your shoulder. It wasn’t very noticeable, but in my line of work, I have to notice even the tiniest of details. Your willingness to continue, to submit well, it truly was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen in my life.”

Gabby sat down her cup and stared back at David. His handsome features still dazzled her, but his kindness and honesty were the real treasure. She hoped when he left her and Thomas that he’d find the woman who deserved him. She also secretly hoped in that deep, dark place of hers that his leaving would be a long time from today. His gentle kindness was a wonderful contrast to Thomas’s more formal ways. Not that David would make less of a Dom than Thomas, he would just have a different approach.

“So, what do you do for a living then?” She sipped more of the warm coffee and settled into the conversation, amazed that it didn’t make her uncomfortable to sit next to him without a stitch of clothing on. His pleasure in her behavior and kind words seemed to give her a sense of peace about the whole thing. For some amazing reason, these two men weren’t offended by her plump form, and instead, they both rather enjoyed it. A girl could definitely get used to their kind of attention—or spoiled by it.

“I’m a security consultant. Corporate work mostly. But there are occasions when a private individual or family hires me to test and or update their security staff.”

“That sounds exciting.”

A rich deep laugh rumbled from his chest and his vivid blue eyes sparkled with a humor she wanted to see more of. If she’d thought him handsome before, it was nothing compared to how he looked now. Of course, it made her wonder how his face would change in the throes of passion. From the sparkle of humor to the dark and intense nature of sexual heat, she believed he’d be utterly irresistible. A quick shot of arousal arrowed through her at the thought, and her pussy began its journey to readiness once again. She crossed her legs to staunch the sensation, which ended up being her first mistake. That movement created a rasp along her clit that had moisture gathering that would have dampened her panties had she been wearing any.

“I don’t think I’d necessarily choose the word exciting to describe my work, although there have been a few moments here and there that might have raised the heart rate enough to qualify. But most of the time, it’s tedious and requires a keen sense of concentration and patience.” David maintained constant eye contact while he spoke, and Gabby couldn’t tear herself away if she’d wanted to. He possessed a commanding presence she couldn’t turn away from.

“I definitely identify with that. My work as an accountant can be tedious as well, but sometimes when things are not working out like they are supposed to, it can be like solving a difficult puzzle. Then I can really dig in and get to work. It’s a heady feeling.”

“Like taking on the work Thomas has offered you? You find that intriguing?”

The heat of a blush crept up her neck. He had no idea. While she’d been excited to receive another client, if she had to be honest with herself, she was more excited about working at Sanctuary. She’d heard very little over the years about what went on there, and she couldn’t wait to learn. She had an insatiable curiosity that she was certain would one day get her into a lot of trouble. Or at least that’s what her mother kept telling her anyway.

“Yes, I would say so. Sanctuary has always been a bit of a mystery to me. What better way to get the lay of the land than from within doing what I do best.”

“I don’t know about what you do best.” He winked, a not so subtle smile across his face. “But I get it. It’s kind of like a security blanket.” She could have been offended at his statement, but the smile with which he said it wasn’t mean or malicious. He was teasing her. Maybe even flirting a little.

She laughed, unable to help herself. It had been a long time since she’d had this much attention.

“What’s so funny in here?” Her head swiveled around to find Thomas changed and leaning against the doorframe, watching them with his own sedate smile curling at the edges of his mouth. He had a way with business casual that made her mouth water. He wore snug black slacks that caressed his solid thighs and a starched white shirt that said smart business to everyone else and barely leashed power to her. Gabby swallowed thickly.

Apparently, her perusal didn’t go unnoticed if the heat in his gaze was any indication.

“I’ve managed to embarrass you’re girl again. She’s blushing,” David drawled.

“Don’t you mean our girl?” Thomas pushed himself from the wall and sauntered over to stand next to her. Neither she nor David made any kind of response. “Yes, that’s what you mean.” Thomas traced his finger from her cheek to chin where he tilted her head up until their gazes locked. “At least for now. As long as we’re training her together, she serves both of us. That is if that’s what you want?”

“Of course,” they answered in unison.

Gabby bowed her head and added “Sir” at the last second.

Thomas bent down to her level and whispered in her ear. “Does David turn you on my sweet?”

She didn’t know how to answer. He did, oh God, he did, and now, she felt guilty all over again. Would Thomas be angry with her? It was too hard to accept he wouldn’t. Before she could answer, Thomas’s hand traveled down the front of her body, leaving a streak of fire in their wake—bone deep wild heat. Her body tingled. God, no matter what he did her body responded. Ached for more. To her delight, he continued his quest and dipped a finger between her wet flesh. Her breath held on a quiet gasp as she waited for his outrage.

“You’ve been quite busy, David.”

“Have I?”

“Oh yes, she’s warm and slick just the way I like her. I’d say she’s had quite a reaction to you.”

“It’s not the first time I’ve had that affect, and considering the hard-on I’m sitting here with, it’s good to know I’m not the only one.” David shifted from side to side in his seat his arm under the table arranging himself.

Thomas swirled his finger, spreading her moisture in slow methodical strokes. She thrust her hips for more of his touch. A small chuckle greeted her in response. “You’re so eager. I love that you know.”

He removed his finger and brought it to her lips. Without a word, she knew exactly what he wanted. Gabby opened obediently and licked her own juice from his finger, watching his eyes darken as she did.

“It doesn’t seem fair to get David all worked up and leave him hanging like that, does it?”

“No, Sir.”

“Do you want him to fuck you?”

A punch of arousal hit Gabby in the gut. Something fierce. Never mind her brain insisted her desires were all wrong. The near constant struggle between want and need waged on. If she chose David over Thomas, he’d send her away. If he wanted David to use her then he would just tell him to. This wasn’t supposed to be her decision.

Thomas’s smile disappeared at her hesitation. He pulled her to her feet. “I’m afraid she isn’t ready, David. If she can’t ask for it then she can’t have it.” He steered her toward the doorway but paused there. “If you’d like to go to Sanctuary this morning, I could have Linda meet you there.”

Gabby bit at her lip, holding back a cry of protest. Tears pooled in her eyes. Confusion swirled through her. She didn’t want David going to another submissive for his release.

Her job.

The newspaper rustled behind her, and a chair scraped across the tiled floors. “That won’t be necessary. I need to get to work.”

“If you change your mind, just let me know.” Thomas nudged her forward. They strode together to the bedroom, his fingers curled around her arm in a firm grip the entire time. Gabby imagined the fury and disappointment she would meet once they were in private and steeled herself for the harsh words to come.
