Page 21 of Doctoring Dolly

She looked up and said something, but her words were so soft, Dolly could not understand them. She looked away when one man began spanking her ass while the other one opened the armoire and studied the contents.

“Ready?”

“Yes, Sir.”

Dolly took his outstretched hand and allowed him to pull her to her feet. While she still felt a little wobbly on the inside, she tried not to let the feeling show on the outside.

Of course, halfway up the six stairs that separated the main Dungeon from the bar area, she did not lift her foot high enough and tripped. She landed on one knee and her free hand with a jolt to both.

She bit her bottom lip to keep from crying out in pain. She was grateful and sorry when Quincy released her hand. Dropping it to the step as well, she took a moment to just breathe as the pain in her knee and wrist eased somewhat.

“Pet?”

“I’m fine,” she said softly, even though she knew it was a lie.

A sharp smack on her ass brought her head up and around to look at Quincy who was leaning over her with a frown on his face.

“No lying,” he said softly.

She sighed as he helped her stand. Before she could take another step, he swept her into his arms and carried her bridal style to the nearest chair. Setting her down, he knelt before her and took her wrist in his hand. Running his fingertips over and around her hand and wrist, he nodded before lifting it and placing a kiss on the base of her palm.

“I don’t think you broke anything, but we’ll keep an eye on it. Let me know if the pain gets worse or it starts to swell.”

“Yes, Sir.”

“I’ll have to wait until we get back to the room to look at your knee,” he said, pushing to his feet.

Without another word he lifted her once again, this time setting her on his hip and holding her with a hand under her ass.

“You can’t carry me all the way to the room,” she insisted as she wrapped her arms around his shoulders and her legs around his hips.

“I’ll set you down, once we get away from stairs and steps and elevators that might bite at your ankles,” he said with a smirk, making her wonder if he really would or not.

“Thank you, Sir,” she sighed as he headed to the door.

“Is she all right?” Jaben asked as they passed him just outside the double doors.

“She’s fine, just a little wobbly from too much Dungeon fun,” Quincy assured the man with a chuckle as Dolly reached out to push the elevator call button.

Jaben huffed a dark chuckle. “Yeah, we’ve seen plenty of that over the years.”

When the elevator doors open, Quincy stepped in, but did not set his armload down. He liked holding her. He liked everything about her. The fact that they had known each other just over a day did not bother him. In his years in the military, even in this day and age, he had seen relationships begin in hours and last for decades. Even with Janine, he had known after the first date that she was the woman for him.

It did not surprise him that he was feeling the same pull toward Dolly. She was totally different than Janine, but he felt the same attraction to the clumsy submissive. But there was still so much more he needed to learn about the little subbie before he made any long-term plans.

For now, he would focus on keeping things light as they enjoyed a bath and a casual lunch followed by some vanilla sexy play and a nap. Dinner at the Italian restaurant would be soon enough to move into more serious subjects.

“You can put me down now,” Dolly said once the elevator doors closed.

“But I like carrying you. Push the button, pet,” he said nodding toward the panel.

Dolly pushed the button and then looked at him and shook her head. “You’re silly.” After a moment’s hesitation, she added, “Sir.”

“And you’re delightful,” he said with a smile as the elevator stopped. A moment later there was a soft ding and the doors slid open.

Stepping forward, he ignored the comments as they passed people waiting for the elevator. Dolly dropped her head to his shoulder, hiding her face from anyone they encountered. He continued carrying his sweet armload of woman down the hall and all the way to her room.

Neither of them said a word until they reached her door. “Key,” he said, finally breaking the silence.
