She nods. “I can see that. Am I also the only one in the world to see their chemistry is combustible?”

Kenzie leans over to refill Talia’s glass. “You’re not. But they’re in denial.”

“Or at least one of them is.” Addison drains her glass. A giant Jason Momoa look-alike appears behind her, bending to kiss her cheek.

“Hey, Kitten. Are you ready?”

Addison gets to her feet, the wide smile of a woman in love across her face. “Yes, Sir. But first I’d like you to meet Jagger’s new girlfriend, and our newest Sub Club member, Talia.” She turns to me, gesturing at Jason mark II. “Talia, this is my dominant, Thor.”

His smile is kind as he reaches out to shake my hand. “It’s a pleasure.” He jerks his chin to Jagger. “If he gives you any trouble, let me know, okay?”

Talia wiggles on my lap. “Oh, he’s given meplentyof trouble. But I can handle him.”

Thor laughs. “I bet you can. I look forward to getting to know you better.” He ushers Addison toward the staircase leading down to the dungeon.

“They seem so nice.” Talia’s wistful voice doesn’t seem to be directed toward anyone. “Isn’t it intimidating down there? Am I the only one who was scared to go down there?” She laughs. “And we were the only two people in here. I can’t imagine going down there while other people are... You know.”

Her cheeks seem to have caught fire by this point. She’s fidgeting and moving on my lap, and while I know it’s because she’s uncomfortable, my dick says it’s time to go.

“I was terrified. Actually.” Kenzie taps her chin. “I was blindsided about coming here for the first time. The girls took me here to get me to let my hair down.”

“And you had fun?”

Kenzie lights up at Talia’s question. “I met Austin on my first night here. He was Prince Charming. I slipped going down the stairs, and he caught me. It took us a while to get where we are now. I was very vanilla when we met.”

Slade clears his throat. “If I recall correctly, he left a butt plug on your desk at work.”

I brush a kiss against Half-Pint’s cheek. “You might like those, baby girl, they’re cold and metal.”

When she tenses in my arms I kiss her again. “They come in all manner of shapes and sizes so you don’t need to panic.”

She softens again.

“He did.” Kenzie nods. “And I wore it to work.”

Talia gasps. “You didn’t.”

Kenzie is giggling so hard we can barely make out what she’s saying. “I did. With Ben-Wa balls inside me. At the same time. Talia it was awful, I almost died while massaging one of Austin’s teammates.” She pauses, tilts her head like what she said sounded weird. “I’m one of the trainers for the college hockey team Austin used to play for. The Snow Pirates.”

Half-Pint’s eyes are wide. “I don’t even know what those things are, never mind how you kept them inside you while working.” The awe in her voice is adorable.

I lower my voice to her ear again. “We can certainly try those things you know.”

Talia casts me some side eye. “My romance novels tell me we’ll need to negotiate. And even if they didn’t, I’ve seen Fifty Shades. We’ll need a boardroom desk, some pages with intimidating sexual things on them, and some mood lighting.” She sounds so serious as she lists her demands.

Slade claps his hands. “She’s right.” He nods. “You’ll need to negotiate.”

“And a pen,” Talia adds very seriously.

“Can’t forget the pen.” My voice rumbles in my chest.

Talia grins at Slade, Paige, and Kenzie. “In case you can’t tell, I’m very vanilla.”

Kenzie nods. “I got that.” She claps, making Talia jump on my lap, brushing against my nearing painful boner. “That should be a shirt. Or a sticker. Or a shirt,anda sticker.”

“We’re working on a kink merchandise line.” Slade gestures to Half-Pint’s hoodie. “You’re wearing one of our brand new ventures.”

“I love it.” I’m not sure she’d say otherwise, even if she hated it, but her enthusiasm is well received by Slade and Kenzie.
