“Exactly.And understand this, Lucy, between us punishments only happen during sex.For us, for our relationship, they aren’t really punishments.Normally, they might be something like withholding an orgasm or not doing something that I know Jack really enjoys.”

Lucy blushed listening to him.

“In some Dom-sub relationships, especially those that are 24/7 or slaves, punishments are probably more a way of stopping behaviors.With us, it’s more of a way to titillate our relationship, if you can understand.Jack enjoys being flogged, so I know if I were to punish him that way, he would just get excited, but if I make him give me an orgasm but don’t let him have one then that’s punishment.”

Lucy nodded, her face glowing, but she was still a little puzzled.“You say this is only in the bedroom, but yet Jack incurs punishments out of the bedroom.Isn’t that contradictory?Isn’t that controlling him?”

“Want to answer that, Jack?”Sebastian turned to him.

“Lucy, this is something that Seb and I talked about when we first decided we wanted a sexual relationship.I, actually both of us, wanted a little something that would tease our sex life outside of the bedroom.We talked about lots of different things but finally settled on our little ‘punishments’.You have no idea what a turn on it is when you know you are going to get punished.For me, it’s bloody exciting, the knowledge that when we are alone something is going to happen.”

Sebastian blew Jack a noisy kiss.He looked at Lucy.“Honestly, Lucy, anticipation of something only enhances the sexual pleasure that can be achieved when I get that man alone.I find myself aroused just thinking about him naked before me and deciding what I’ll do to him.”

“And remember, there are no punishments outside the bedroom,” Jack added.“For us, this is all about our sexual desires and needs.”

“What happens if you get angry about something one of you did, Sebastian?”

“During sex?”

“Any time?Or maybe you’re just having a bad day.”

“Lucy, we all get cranky at times.But rest assured, if I’m upset or angry about something there’s no way I’m going to take it out on someone else if I can help it.Same with Jack.We try to talk about it, try to work through whatever it is.”

Jack nodded and said to Lucy, “Look, we’re human, same as everyone else.We have shit days too, even Sebastian.I always know if he’s pissed off about something because he gets all quiet and doesn’t talk.He’s a sulker.”

Lucy laughed at that.It made Sebastian seem more fallible, more normal.She rubbed her bottom lip with a thumb and bit the ball of it.Looking at Sebastian, she took a breath.“And what about me?Where would I fit in?”Before he could answer, she added, “That’s if I want to take this further, I mean.Hell.”Flustered, Lucy muttered, “If I wanted more than just a friendship, that is.”

Jack and Sebastian exchanged what could only be referred to as an exalted look.

Sebastian’s face seemed to fill with something akin to love as he smiled warmly at Lucy.“You would be cherished.You would become like a sub during sex in that you would do whatever I ordered you to do—once we’d discussed your limits and your wants.But outside of the bedroom, Jack and I would treat you like a princess.You have to know we’re both very interested in you as a person, as someone we want to share things with.We’d love nothing more than to spend our time with you as our equal.If you don’t want to make this a sexual relationship as well as a friendship one, that’s fine with both of us.But if you do decide on a physical one, then in the bedroom you would hand over all control to me exactly as Jack does.”

At that last sentence, Lucy felt a tingle spread from somewhere around her waist then head downward.She clamped her legs together and tried to look relaxed as she gulped, “Control?”But her voice cracked on that one word.Each time she’d heard it said, it sang to her.That was what she’d desired, what she definitely thought she needed.

“Yes, if you want the physical side.Remember, this would be after we had discussed things with you first.Discussed your hard and soft limits, the things you wouldn’t do and those you would consider.All your desires and wants.This is mutual satisfaction, not just for one person but for all of us.If you decide on a physical relationship with us, then I would dictate what happened in the bedroom.I have upmost control.I direct things—not you or Jack.”

Lucy made the mistake of looking at Jack.His face was so transparent, he had to be imagining the three of them naked.She squeezed her legs tighter and hoped the black t-shirt and bra hid her nipples.Oh hell, I’m feeling hot.Whoa.Another word spluttered from her lips.“Direct?”

Sebastian knelt down in front of her, his voice so sexy and husky as he quietly whispered, “Direct and control.For example, if I told you to suck Jack’s cock and then mine, you would.If I wanted Jack to lick your pussy you’d have to let him.If I wanted to fuck Jack while he fucked you, you’d have absolutely no say in the matter.”

Lucy’s heart beat so loud she was positive they’d both hear it.She breathed through her mouth, her eyes wide.

Sebastian reached out to trace a long finger across her bottom lip and down her chin.It ran down her neck then he took it away.His gaze never left hers.“If I wanted to fuck you while you sucked Jack off, you’d spread your legs willingly.”

Lucy gasped then murmured in reply, “I ...I would?”

His voice lured her, filling her with untold desires.Images of the three of them naked and entwined crammed into her brain.

“You would.Once we talked about your wants, then, my sweet Lucy, then you would.And if I told Jack to fuck those gorgeous tits of yours while I fucked your ass, you’d let me.”

Lucy’s eyes grew even wider as she listened to his hypnotic voice softly describing his directions.Like a deer in the headlights, unable to move—not that she would—her breathing increased as his voice continued seductively.

She leaned forward instinctively, her mouth slightly open to catch the words, as he whispered, “And, Ms.Lucy, if I wanted to caress your body with a flogger, hit that pretty ass of yours after you’d tasted it, I’m pretty sure you’d love it.”

Gulp.“...I would?”

Her words so soft, but Sebastian heard them.

“Most definitely.”
