Page 21 of Seducing Serena

Serena nodded. “Yes, Master Noah. I understand.”

“Are you feeling better now that you’ve eaten?” Ford asked with a smirk.

Serena nodded again, this time giving them a little smile. “I do. The fuzzy is all gone, the headache is easing, and I’m feeling back to normal.”

“Good,” Ford responded with a smile. “How about doing a tour of the Dungeon this morning? Then we can go back tonight and get our freak on, if you’re feeling up to it.”

Noah could see that Serena was interested. He could also see she was sliding into her submissive mindset. “Yes, Master Ford,” she whispered. “I’d like that, if that pleases you.”

“Sounds like a plan to me,” Noah felt driven to add his support, though Ford knew he was behind anything that would allow them to play with their sweet subbie.

At that moment, Nanny J appeared beside the table. “Good morning,” she said with a smile that turned to a concerned look when she saw the bruises on Serena’s knuckles. “Are you all right, my dear?”

“I’m fine, thanks,” Serena said with a smile. “What can we do for you this morning, Nanny J?”

Like any firefighter worth their salt, their woman would not allow a bruised hand to stop her from living.

“I was wondering if you could come talk to the Littles this afternoon. They’ve talked about nothing but the lady firefighter since meeting you the other evening.”

Noah decided it was time for them to step up and be the Dominants they were supposed to be. “We’d be happy to speak to your Littles. Does three o’clock work for you and them?”

“Three o’clock is perfect. I’ll have someone meet you at the entrance to the Littles’ Wing. Thank you so much,” Nanny J said before wandering away again to scold two Littles for not eating their breakfast.

CHAPTER12

Serena hesitated when the elevator opened. Could she actually give up all control and play with the events of this morning still in her head?

“Sugar? You okay?” Noah took her hand in his and lifted it to brush a kiss over the back of her knuckles. “We don’t have to do this right now if you don’t want to. We can come back later. Or we don’t have to go downstairs at all.”

Taking a breath, Serena shook her head as she stepped onto the elevator, pulling Noah along behind her. “No, Sir. We’re going down. Right now. I refuse to be kept out of the Dungeon just because of a mistake.”

When Ford and Noah said, “Good girl,” in unison, a familiar shiver of warmth raced through her and her pussy clenched in response.

When the elevator doors slid open, she pushed her shoulders back and followed Noah off the elevator. She was able to take three steps away from the elevator door before she froze. Even though she knew she was fine and that Les had not harmed her in any way, the fight or flight compulsion was still strong.

“Serena? Look at me. You’re not in a nightmare or a foster home. You’re with us,” Ford stepped close, bending and getting in her face until his nose was an inch from hers. “Look around and see. There’s no one here but us and the guard who won’t hurt you.”

She could do this. She had her men on either side to hold her up. Besides, she really did want to visit the Dungeon, even if it was just to look around, though she suddenly wished Ford had brought his bag so they could play. Breathing deeply, Serena nodded. “I’m okay.”

Stepping away from Ford, she took a moment to look around the Dungeon’s reception area. The focus of the space was a beautiful set of highly polished double doors that appeared to glow in the lowered lighting. Bright copper circular insets formed a giant X on each door, making her think of a St. Andrews Cross.

The guard at a wooden podium smiled as they approached. “Gentlemen, Miss, welcome to the dungeon. Your timing is perfect. We close from seven to nine every morning and evening so the Dungeon can be cleaned and restocked. If you don’t have toys, the armoires are well-stocked. Just leave whatever you use in the baskets beside them when you finish.”

“Thank you,” Ford said as Noah led her toward the double doors. “We’re just here to look around this morning.”

“Very well, enjoy,” the guard said with a smile. “If you run into any problems, just let me know.”

Serena squeezed Noah’s hand as he pulled the door open. They stepped through together, entering a lounge area with tables, chairs, and a bar along the wall to their left.

“Good morning,” the female bartender stepped out from behind the bar. “Can I fix you a drink? Or coffee, tea, juice, soda?”

“No thanks,” Ford said as he stepped up on her other side. “Could you possibly take a moment to give us a quick tour?”

“Oh, sure. It’s not like we’re busy right now. Things will pick up as the day goes on.”

Serena followed her with her men close enough behind her that she could feel the warmth of their bodies. Now that they were past the reception area, she relaxed and felt her shoulders unknot and settle.

“This hallway has changing rooms and restrooms along with the themed playrooms. You need to sign up for those ahead of time,” the woman waved at a hallway just inside the door they’d just come through. She then walked to the center of the bar area. “This is obviously the bar, where guests meet and negotiate scenes before and relaxing and talking afterwards. We have some guests who come for a drink and may not play at all, but just watch the various scenes going on below in the Dungeon’s play area .”
