“I hear you. I’ve been doing some of that myself.”

“I miss you, Thomas. What would you think of doing a scene, for old time’s sake?”

“I—uh?—”

“Oh, shit. Are you seeing someone?”

“Nope. I’m not with anyone. You know what? Let’s do it,” I smiled. “It’s been a long time.”

“Public or private?”

I thought about it for a minute before deciding I wanted to do a public scene with her. Maybe a small part of me hoped Shelby or Kenley would see it and kick themselves over what they lost.

“It’s been a while since I did a public scene. Let me go book a room and we can grab a drink if there’s time.”

“Sounds good.”

I walked over to sign us up and grinned when I saw the room with the St. Andrew’s Cross was available. I motioned her over as I signed us up.

“We’re up now. Let me just grab my bag and I’ll meet you at the room.”

“Great!”

I popped into my room, grabbed my bag, and headed over to the room, leading Mandy into it.

“Strip,” I ordered as I started unpacking my bag, laying the toys out on the table.

She slowly eased her shirt over her head, grinning at me as her tits bounced out. She was always a beautiful woman and, at that moment, I couldn’t think of the reasons that things hadn’t worked out. She slid her skirt down her legs to show off her uncovered pussy. She never was one for panties.

I dangled the cuffs from my fingers and grinned as she practically ran over. I worked to get the cuffs on her wrists and ankles and then hooked them all to the cross.

“Ready, sub?”

“Yes, Sir.”

I picked up the lightest flogger and went to work getting her back and ass warmed up. She cried out each time and I chuckled internally as I remembered just how vocal she could be. When she was nice and pink, I picked up the blue suede flogger and brought it down on her back. Time and again the tails of the flogger struck her back and I paused when she screamed out.

“Color, sub.”

“Green, Sir,” she moaned.

I continued with the flogger for a couple more minutes before grabbing a leather strap. She cried out again as it connected with her ass and I smiled as red bloomed in its wake. By the time I was finished with the strap, her ass was bright red and I stepped closer to soothe her with gentle circles on it.

I glanced out at the crowd that gathered and paused when I saw Shelby and Kenley, their faces contorted with anger. Suddenly, I no longer wanted to be doing this scene. I quickly removed the cuffs, gathered my things, and led Mandy out of the room.

“What the fuck was that?” she hissed, stopping me in my tracks.

“What are you talking about?”

“You stopped mid-scene!”

“I’m sorry, Mandy. I got distracted and it wouldn’t have been safe for me to continue.”

“Fuck you and your distractions,” she sneered, storming away.

So much for aftercare.

I only got about three steps further when I was met by Shelby and Kenley. They were pissed and I wasn’t looking forward to this conversation.
