“Do you think she’ll handle this okay?”

“If she doesn’t, you’ll be there.” He shook his head. “I think she’ll be good, though. She’s made of tough stuff.”

“Better question. Do you think I’ll handle this okay?”

That got me an even bigger laugh. “Fuck, no. Which is why it’s the perfect punishment. Reed’s at the top of his game.”

CHAPTER 25

Dean

Reed started his punishment early by making me and Vera both wait an hour while he took his time sorting his toys. I knew he didn’t need that much time. He probably only needed around two minutes. He was meticulous about his things. When he finally stopped outside of her door and looked back at me, I was damn near trembling from anticipation. Knowing Vera was on the other side of that door, naked and waiting, was torture.

I followed Reed inside her room while Lennon stayed outside to watch on the camera. The first thing I saw was Vera quickly trying to get back into the position he’d told her to stay in. She turned bright red as both of us watched her and scowled at Reed.

“You took forever.”

Reed looked at me. “Pull a chair up to the side of the bed.”

I did what he said and sat a few feet from Vera, taking in all her naked glory up close. Her curve of her spine was dotted with a few freckles I wanted to taste but all I could do was sit there and watch as Reed silently unfolded the thick length of rope he’d carried in.

“Oh, god, more of the silent treatment. Is that the punishment?” Vera seemed intent on pushing Reed farther and farther. “I just—”

Reed’s hand came down on her ass in a sharp slap that echoed around the room. I flinched at the sound it made but it not only shut Vera up, it made her back arch.

Reed walked around so he was facing her. “Do you need to be gagged?”

She shook her head quickly. “I’ll be quiet.”

He reached out and ran a single fingertip over her lips and down her chin and neck. “Good. Because I need you to listen to me. We set rules for a reason. You seem to like breaking rules,but my rules are to be followed. You will only receive rules from me that keep you safe, physically and mentally.”

Vera let out a moan when Reed’s finger reached her nipple and dragged over it. She lifted her face to his and I could see her naked desire clear on her face.

“I saw everything. Dean started that interaction, but you sealed the deal with that kiss. If you’d just let him pull away, you wouldn’t be where you are right now.” He moved around the bed again and picked up a length of rope. “Pick a safe word. I’m going to tie you down and start your real punishment. If you get scared, need a break, don’t like what’s happening, or just want to stop, say the word and I’ll untie you immediately.”

“Burrito.”

She said it with such confidence that I had to laugh. That earned me a hard look from Reed.

“Okay. Say that word if you want me to stop, Vera. Understand?” Reed watched her nod and then stepped closer. He dragged the rope over her back and ass. “You’re going to look so good tied up and at my mercy.”

I watched with an increased heart rate as Reed expertly tied his ropes around Vera, tying her up so she was trapped in her current position, on her hands and knees. He finished by tying her to the bed and then stepping back to admire his work. I had to admit that I got it. Vera looked helpless as she moved against the ropes, testing them. There was a fire in her eyes, though, that proved just how much she liked the ropes, too.

I sucked in a sharp breath when I saw the leather flogger he pulled out next. A thick handle controlled the cluster of leather straps that would swing and land against her ass as many or as few times as Reed wanted.

“Have you ever written about a flogger, Vera?”

Vera tried to look back at Reed but the ropes didn’t allow it. “No, but I’ve read about it.”

“You’ll get twenty lashings all together. Starting now.” Reed drew back the flogger and then whipped it forward, making the leather strips strike Vera’s bare ass. The sound was intense, but so was the breathy gasp Vera released. “Count, Vera. If you miscount, you’ll start over.”

“One!” Another whistle of wind as Reed landed another strike. “Two!”

I gripped my knees and watched in awe as Vera counted out three more stinging blows, her voice rising with each one. Her ass was bright red but her moans said she didn’t care. When Reed brought out a wand massager, I felt a new wave of excitement. I was beyond ready for things to turn more overtly sexual. All of my hesitation about who she was flew out the window when she took her clothes off.

“There are different types of punishments, Vera.” Reed pushed the wand between her thighs and a loud buzzing filled the room as he turned it on. “You seem to like me turning your ass bright red so I’m going to switch to another punishment. I don’t like it as much, because I love the taste of a woman coming hard for me, but you require a little more.”

Vera let out a loud moan when he touched the wand to her clit and her body jerked against her binds. “Reed!”
