A deep chuckle left him as he rubbed my lower back. “What has you unsure?”

“Seriously?” I asked, looking up at him.

“Seriously.”

“How about the cracking whip?”

Lucien nodded. “I can understand that. It can be scary seeing it for the first time, but?—”

“Seeing it is not scary,” I interrupted.

“It’s not?”

“No. The idea of being on the otherendof it is scary. But watching it, seeing someone who knows how to do it and obviously someone who wants it…”

“Yes?”

I gave Lucien a shy little smile and said, “Let me watch, and then I’ll tell you how I feel after.”

“Tease,” he muttered at the same time the whip was flicked again, and this time the end hit the back of the bound man’s thigh. A moan filled the air, reassuring me that the man did indeedliketo be whipped, and if that wasn’t a whole mindfuck on its own…

I couldn’t imagine being tied up like that. But I sure could imagine the sexy man beside me wielding a whip.

“So, um, you do that, huh?” I whispered as the flogger let free another couple of cracks.

“Oh no you don’t,” Lucien said, eyes forward as I looked at his strong profile. “You said you would tell me your thoughts after you watched some more. So if you want something, Kai, use your words. Tell me.”

I bit down into my lower lip, wondering if I was actually going to ask this, when another crack rent the air. Then I thought,When in Rome…

“Do you ever whip people like that? Here?”

Lucien finally turned to face me, his lips curving into an immoral smile. “Would you like me to?”

“Yes,” I blurted out before I could censor myself, not realizing just how much I wanted to see him like that until right this second. “I want to watch you.”

Lucien took my chin between his fingers and brushed his lips over mine. “Let me see what I can do.”

He went over to the dom to speak briefly, and when the other man offered him the whip, Lucien held up a finger.

The smirk on his lips was sexy as hell, and as he headed back toward me, he began to unbutton his shirt.

“Wait, what are you—” I didn’t want him to getnakedin front of all these people.

But after he shrugged out of his shirt and handed it to me, Lucien pressed a hard kiss to my lips. “Enjoy the show,” he said, and then headed back to the scene.

This time, he knelt beside the submissive, and I would’ve bet money on his asking for the guy’s safe word. As Lucien stood up and took the whip the dom offered, he caught my eye and shot me a wink. The second he turned away, though, his entire demeanor changed. There was a power to the set of his broad shoulders, tension coiling every muscle of his taut body, and then he flicked his wrist. It was a slight move, but the crack that hit the floor was louder than any of the ones from before. It made me jump and made everyone in the room stop what they were doing to watch Lucien.

I couldn’t tear my eyes away as he snapped the whip in the direction of the bound man, the tip of it marking one of his plump ass cheeks and causing him to groan. It was a sexual sound that was only cut off when Lucien changed direction and the whip made contact with his other cheek. Twin red marks bloomed against his pale skin, but the guy was writhing against the flogging horse like he wanted more.

The next time Lucien aimed, I wasn’t watching to see if he hit his mark. No, I was watching the way he wielded the whip like it was an extension of his arm. The way his muscles flexed with the move. How unbelievably hot he was with his pants riding low on his hips, enough that when he turned to the side, I could makeout the deep V of his abs disappearing beneath the designer band of his boxer briefs. I was pretty sure I was drooling.

How in the hell wasthisthe man who kept inviting me into his bed? His home?

My cock began to throb as he marked another spot low on the guy’s ass. I licked my lips, and Lucien happened to glance over his shoulder at me. His eyes dropped to my mouth, his expression turning heated.

Without looking away, he handed the whip back to its rightful owner and strode toward me. The crowd that had gathered to watch parted for him, but he paid them no mind, his stare locked on mine with every step he took.

It was insane the reaction I had just looking at him. My body hummed with anticipation, my dick kicked against my briefs, and my pulse spiked so hard that I thought I might pass out.
