"Caroline doesn't like it," she answered, her eyes constantly flickering to me.

"How come she doesn't?" Sam's fingers moved with gentle, smooth, and rolling precision over Nora's feet. I knew what would come next, as her charms and skills never stayed dormant for long.

"When playing around with people it's fine, like now. Or when Marley calls her Mistress or Beast in scene it's fine. But in a relationship, she prefers to feel equal even if we're in scene. Right?" Nora looked to me again and I nodded.

"All true, Kitten." I sat on the carpet in front of the fireplace while watching them and leaned back on my hands.

"Well, then I know you're special then because you're the only one she let's call her Caroline in scene," said Samirah, her thumbs digging into the spots of Nora's feet that I knew would cause a response.

Nora's body stilled suddenly and she looked down at Samirah. I continued to fight the amusement that threatened to break my focused expression. Sam watched her, then pressed firmly in a certain spot of her foot.

"How is that, sweet girl?"

Nora's knees pressed together, and she gnawed her bottom lip for a second. "What are you doing?"

"Massaging your feet. Do you like it?"

She nodded and glanced at me.

"Feel good, Kitten?" I asked, my tongue poking against my cheek.

Again, she nodded and fiddled with the hem of her sweatshirt.

"Mistress Sami is taking good care of you, isn't she?" I chuckled when her cheeks turned pink.

"How did you do that?" Nora asked, her voice soft while she watched Sam.

"Do what?" Like the asshole that she was, she repeated the gesture of her thumbs pressing the sole of Nora's left foot.

Nora's toes curled and her hand slid down her body toward her lower belly the way it always did when a spark of arousal struck her. In all the years I'd known Nora, the way she reached for herself never changed. She struggled to stave off release when excitement hit her in the right way, and the grasping gesture became something I ached to cause her. Her pink cheeks turned into a full blush by then and she slouched a little in the cushions.

"You like that?" asked Samirah, her voice huskier. Twinkling hazel eyes gazed at Nora, tangled with amusement.

Nora nodded, the index finger of her opposing hand tracing the delicate flesh of her lips. Samirah continued and Nora squirmed, her eyes now falling on me.

"Is Mistress Sami giving you damp panties, baby?" I chuckled when she reached for me and rolled forward on my knees to land beside her.

"Yes," she whispered, then hugged me around the neck.

I chuckled and kissed her cheek while squeezing her. "It's okay, baby. I know all of Sami's tricks."

"She does." Samirah laughed and patted Nora's shins. "Reflexology is one."

"You don't have to stop," said Nora, peeking up at Sam and making both of us laugh.

"Oh, Beast. I think your sweet sub is asking for a little co-Domme fun today. What do you think?" Samirah's grin parted her maroon-painted lips into a wicked grin.

"Well then." I traced the angle of Nora's jaw when she lay back on the sofa. "What do you think, Kitten? A little playtime with me and Sami? Both of us spoiling you something wicked."

She nodded, though she bit her bottom lip so hard that I worried she'd injure herself. I brushed my thumb over her mouth so she'd release it.

"Have you done full Shibari with her, Car?" Samirah asked.

"Not full. Just a few gauntlets and small bindings."

"Perfect opportunity. Perfect lighting for pictures. Perfectly damp pussy on your pretty girl." Samirah ran her knuckle down Nora's cheek. "What do you say?"

Nora nodded without hesitation, her wide eyes gazing up at me. "I want to do Shibari with you..."
