“Masochists.”Now it was Rae’s turn to shake her head.
Avery sat in the back giggling at the two of them.She loved watching their interactions with each other.They were so similar in so many ways, yet so different in others.Rae turned her attention back to Avery.
“Sorry.So… did he tell you?”
“They’re going over a lot of the basics.”Avery couldn’t stop from grinning, just like when she’d first asked Nick, and he’d given her the rundown.She didn’t blame Rae and Domi for being curious.As excited as she was to go out tonight, a part of her was disappointed she didn’t get to watch how tonight went for all the Doms.“Nipple clamps, spanking, flogging, and whips.”
“Oh, man… to be a fly on the wall…” Rae shook her head.“It’s not fair.The Doms got to watch and participate in our whole class, but you don’t get to do the same?”
“It wouldn’t be good for their authority.”Domi snickered, turning onto the highway.“Mitch told me a little about their class.They really have to try every single thing they want to inflict on a submissive, and some of them don’t take it all very well.”
“Hey, if a Dom can respect me after I get a plug shoved up my ass, I can respect him for doing the same.”
“Yeah, but it’s one thing to know they did it and another thing to see it happen… especially if they don’t react well.”Avery was wildly curious and thought watching would be incredibly entertaining.Domi probably had a point about the effect on authority.Of course, she’d still respect Nick, but if he took it badly, and she showed any kind of amusement…
Not great for Domly authority and probably not good for subbies’ bottoms.
“Bah, stop applying logic to the situation.”Rae waved her hand dismissively.The sun was going down, but there was still enough light to see the twinkle in her eyes.“Anyway, how are things going at work?Still keeping things quiet?”
“Yes, and it’s a lot better.No more awkward moments.”Gareth had said nothing to anyone, and no one seemed to suspect.Granted, most of them were distracted by the drama swirling around Jonathan and Alanna.If anyone had wondered if George had a thing for her, it had been confirmed, and he was grumpy as hell about it.Though he wasn’t nearly as bad as Josie and Delia, who were furious they’d been replaced.Avery wondered if they’d become friendly with Alanna after she and Jonathan broke up… although, he seemed pretty smitten.
Basically, no one was paying attention to what she and Nick were doing when everyone was being entertained by the front-of-house drama.
“It’s been a great week.We’ve been taking turns sleeping over at each other’s place every night.”
A great week of fantastic sex, but she had to admit, she was looking forward to doing the kinky stuff with him.It was also one of the easiest relationships she’d ever been in.They worked together, left in their separate cars to whoever’s place they were going, then took a shower and had something to eat before tumbling into bed and falling asleep.
Eventually, she hoped they’d go on an actual date, but at the moment, Mondays were the only nights they both had off at the same time.They had been eating breakfast and lunch together as often as possible, though they hadn’t gone out anywhere.
On second thought, it might be for the best.As soon as she thought about going out with him in public, she started thinking about what would happen if they were recognized or ran into someone they knew.
Yup.Nope.Eating in was better.
Nick
Standing next to Q on one side of the stage, Nick tried not to feel as though he was taking sides.Sam seemed like a perfectly nice woman.He’d just happened to arrive at the same time as Q.At least she had Connor standing with her, so she wasn’t entirely alone, and she’d smiled back at Nick when he’d waved in greeting when she came in.
Of course, she and Q had glared at each other before Q had returned to the conversation he’d been having with Nick, pretending Sam didn’t exist.
He really wished Avery was here.She was much better at the interpersonal relationship stuff.
Thankfully, Master Law came in a few minutes later, his expression unchanging as he took in the room dynamics.As at the last class, he was dressed in a suit.Nick wondered if he should dress up more.Samantha was also dressed as if she’d come from business-casual work, but Connor and Q were both in t-shirts, just like him.Well, Q’s shirt declared he was ‘Rebel Scum’ with the Star Wars logo behind it, so not exactly like the plain shirts Connor and Nick were wearing, but close enough.
“Ready to get started?”Master Law asked, gesturing to the stage and the table, with apparatuses that they’d all been studiously ignoring.Not that anyone had said, “let’s not look at all the stuff on the stage,” but it had been an unspoken agreement.
Now that he had to look at it, Nick felt a stirring of discomfort.The past week with Avery had been amazing.Best relationship of his life, hands down.Everything had been easy.Natural.The sex was phenomenal.Did they really need to add stuff?
Stop being a chicken.You know she wants it.You need to at least try.
The last bit of his wavering resolve firmed up when the door opened a second later, and Olivia walked in with Luke, who was shirtless and wearing leather chaps and what looked like a speedo.Immediately Nick jerked his head back around and slapped his hands over his eyes.
“Uh, you okay there?”Q whispered.
“That’s my brother,” he groaned loud enough, Olivia chuckled.He knew it was Olivia because he knew exactly what it sounded like when she was amused at his expense.
The sadist.
“Get over it, Nick.You need to pay attention.Luke agreed to be our demonstration for the evening.”Olivia’s voice was far too cheerful.
