“It’s a surprise,” I say. “You have to… Oscar!” I squeal when he picks me up over his shoulder and walks out of the kitchen with me. I am dropped onto the couch, and Eliza is dropped beside me by Gunner. Julian and Calder come down and laugh when they find us surrounded.

“They are up to something,” Collin says. “Cass said it’s a surprise.”

“Cass is already in trouble for being a brat,” Julian says, walking around the couch to sit on the ottoman in front of us.

“I’ll tell you if I can forgo a punishment,” I say with a grin.

“Nice try, brat. Speak up. What are you two hiding?” Julian says with a smirk. I look at Eliza and she shrugs.

“Ugh!” I groan. “Fine. We wanted to do something for y’all…. and us.”

“Go on,” Julian says as everyone sits around us. Oscar sits beside Julian in front of me and gestures for me to continue.

“We want to do a CNC scene,” I say, and Julian sighs. “Considering your history, you wouldn’t do anything with Eliza in that. She is comfortable with you, but we all know that it needs to be me first. Now, I don’t know if Oscar would be able to, but that is up to him.”

“Oh, I am,” Oscar says with a smirk.

“Okay,” I laugh.

“How would it work?” Julian asks. “I assume you have a plan?”

“Yes,” Eliza says. “We have the entire property and the house to play with. Kitchen and the bathroom down here are a safe zone, but we can’t stay there for more than five minutes.”

“So, we hunt you down?” Ryan asks.

“Yeah,” I tell him. “We go anywhere we want, together or separate. You catch us and you have free rein. No limits. No safe words.”

“Are you sure?” Ryan asks seriously. “Giving up your safe word is huge.”

“I’d like to think you six know us well,” I say. “We trust you to not push us beyond our limits and to keep us safe. We have full confidence that none of you will harm us, and considering we’ve only ever called it for repeated orgasms, I think we can handle it.”

“You are absolutely sure?” Julian asks me seriously.

“If you don’t want to, Juli, you can say no,” I remind him. “Your boundaries absolutely do matter here, especially considering you were traumatized by what he did to y’all.”

“I wasn’t…”

“Hush,” I say. “You were, but I understand why you don’t want to see it that way.”

“I’ll be fine,” he says simply.

“Okay,” I laugh.

“You don’t believe me?” he asks.

“Not really. Doms need aftercare too, and I just so happen to love caring for people,” I say.

“Run,” he says simply.

“What?!”

“You heard me. Get your asses up and run. You have five minutes before we come after you,” he says. Eliza jumps up and drags me with her.

“And girls,” Oscar says.

“Yes?” I ask.

“It will be dark soon. Be careful,” Oscar says with an ominous smile. I put my black flats on sitting by the door before we run outside. We leap off the porch and sprint to the tree line so we can follow it down. I know where we can go, and Eliza seems to be headed to the same spot.
