Page 70 of Harmless Scandals

Adam nodded. “Married. And from the way he's acting, they are going to have baby number three later this year.”

“This St. John and his wife...when Micah says they are going to do a demonstration, he means naked?”

Mick chuckled. “Kind of hard to watch a spanking demonstration if she's wearing clothes.”

She was both embarrassed and horribly intrigued by the notion.

“What?” he asked.

She shrugged. “I don't think I would ever do that. Not in public I mean.”

“Not everyone has to, and not everyone wants to,” Adam explained. “Some people it helps in their enjoyment of the scene they are performing. Others prefer to keep things private.”

“And what would you two be?”

“Private,” they both answered at the same time, which made her laugh. Just then a waitress stopped at the table and gave them their drinks.

As she sipped on her mai tai, she watched the crowd, she found herself intrigued. The crowd had lots of beautiful people, but also very ordinary folks.

“What are you thinking?” Mick said, his breath feathering over her ear.

“I'm thinking that these people are all normal.”

“What did you expect?'

“I'm not sure. I partied a lot, but I was never adventurous in the bedroom.”

“Ah. I will admit, there is always a strange one in every crowd, but you are right.”

“Come here,” Adam said as he urged her to set down her drink and slip closer to him.

And without any indication of what he had planned, he bent his head and kissed her. And not just a little peck on the cheek or brush of her lips. He slid his tongue over the seam of her lips. At the same moment, she felt Mick's mouth over her neck. She moaned and opened her mouth to Adam. And just like before, she was lost again. Every time they touched her, they were all that mattered. She could think of nothing else, not who might be watching, or that people might judge them for their relationship. She just wanted to feel.

Mick crowded in behind her as Adam cupped her face, deepening the kiss. She gasped in the next instant because she felt Mick's hands sliding over her hip, then to her breasts. Shifting in the seat, she aggravated her arousal even more. She'd almost gone without panties, but even so, she was damned sure her legs were probably dripping.

Apparently, Adam read her thoughts. He slipped his hand down her torso and eased her skirt up.

Oh, God.

He eased her legs apart with his hand and she was helpless to stop him. Why would any sane woman want to? Each time he brushed against her flesh, she had to fight back a moan. He wasn’t aggressive. Every touch seemed to be measured. He eased her panties aside. The moment his finger slid against her slit, she almost came. She wanted to so badly, to just let loose and lose control. But Adam had other plans. He slipped his hand from between her legs and pulled away.

“What?”

“Not here. We said we don’t like to play in public.”

She frowned at him and looked over her shoulder at Mick. “So, this was just about teasing?”

“No,” Adam said, drawing her attention to him again. He waited to continue until she looked at him. “This is about control. You want to play, you need to learn the rules.”

She opened her mouth to complain, but he stopped her.

“No. Final word. Besides, the demonstration is about to start and it’s something you should watch. If you decide to grant us this honor, then we need to know everything you desire, because it will be our job to give it to you.”

She wanted to ask more, but she did as he asked. And maybe, she wouldn’t go crazy waiting.

Adam was trying to control his needs as they found a place close to the viewing area. There were private rooms below, and then there were two or three that were used for demonstrations. They were situated on what was really the first level of the club. They were on the second level, which always felt like it was the first. Micah and his partner Ethan had designed it to give it that feel.

They had found a place close to the front of the crowd and like Micah had said, there were a lot of people interested. St. John was a big attraction, but now that he was married, Adam knew the two of them would whip the onlookers into a frenzy. The couple were so in tune with each other that it was mesmerizing.
