A moment later, he came, and as he was panting against her neck, she followed him over the edge, but since she was under no restrictions, was able to cry out and thank God profusely.
“That was impressive,” Evan said, settling behind Malcom as he made the slow journey down from his orgasm.
“Thank you,” Jules murmured. “Being a Domme is actually hard work.”
“I was talking to Mal.”
Jules gave him an annoyed look. “What?”
“I’m not saying your performance wasn’t amazing,” Evan said, “but Mal’s was next level. He’s a natural.”
Malcom turned to look at Evan. “A natural?”
“A natural submissive. During my time with you and Gwen, I suspected you might be one, but that night in my office, with my hand on your throat … I was almostpositiveyou were. That’s why I wanted to see how this played out, to determine if you truly were.”
“But I didn’t follow her commands very well.”
Evan waved off the minor infractions which had been made. “That can be learned with repetitive training, but the innate tendency for being submissive, can’t be learned. It’s really something you have or you don’t—and you definitely have it.”
Malcom’s expression was slightly uncertain, but also shyly pleased. “So, what does that mean, if I am submissive?”
“It just means you find pleasure in giving up sexual control, and you like it when a partner takes the lead. Submissive people often seek people with dominant personalities—” Evan indicated himself and Jules, “—to get those needs met.” He then gave Malcom a sweet little kiss. “It also means we’ll be having a hell of a lot of fun in the future.”
Chapter 53
Not your average dinner party
Two weeks after Julian was born, Paige and David had a small gathering in their new home as sort of a housewarming party and baby launch all in one.
They had ended up making an offer on one of the houses they looked at back in May. It had closed ten days before Julian was born, and they’d been getting settled ever since. David had actually hired a moving company this time (to Evan’s relief), and so most of the house was in order.
The exterior of the two-story house was cream colored, with glossy black trim, shutters, and a matching front door. The front porch wrapped around one side of the house, and Jules knew Paige would be spending a lot of time on it, as soon as some outdoor furniture was arranged in the inviting space.
When Jules and Malcom arrived, they were greeted at the door by Jacob, who let them in like a little gentleman.
“Come in,” he said politely.
“Thank you,” Jules told him, then as soon as he’d closed the door behind them, she made introductions. “Jacob, this is Malcom. Malcom, this is Jacob, David and Paige’s oldest boy.”
Malcom extended a hand and was charmed when Jacob shook it. “Hi,Jacob.”
“Hi, Malcom.”
Jacob took them to the kitchen, where they found Valerie (David’s mother), Dolly (Paige’s older friend), Nate (David’s friend from college), and Andrea (the assistant Paige had when she worked at The Main Event), already there.
After more introductions were made, Paige took Jules and Malcom on a quick tour, showing them the entire house. Paige was positively glowing as she pointed out things they would be changing, such as taking out several walls on the main floor and making the kitchen, living room and dining room one large, open concept space.
For now, though, the main floor was comprised of separate rooms but was still very homey.
When they went to the second floor with all the bedrooms, Jules handed a framed picture of herself to Paige, to put in the nursery, to be funny.
Returning to the kitchen, they saw that Evan had arrived. Malcom, Jules, and Evan had agreed he should show up at least fifteen minutes later, by himself, so as to maintain the appearance—at least for everyone except Paige—that the three of them didn’t have anything going on.
David was in the process of introducing Evan to Dolly, who he’d somehow not met at the wedding, but had heard plenty about.
“Evan, I’d like you to meet Dolores Harte, a dear friend,” David began, only to stop before completing the second part, when Evan all but brushed David aside to take Dolly’s hand and gallantly kiss the back of it.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Dolores Harte,” Evan said.
