“How many times has your Dom whipped your back since you signed your original contract with him?”
“I lost count, Ma’am, but well over thirty times in the past two years.”
“Do you enjoy being whipped?”
“Yes, Ma’am, very much.”
“Why?”
“The subspace I hit during the scene is an incredible, drug-free high. It’s also a way for Master Jake and I to bond further. I trust him completely, and that pleases him—and the sex afterward is freaking amazing. We both benefit from it.” The guy was obviously not embarrassed about anything he’d said, and Mike wished he was as confident as Nick was when it came to the lifestyle.
“And has he ever broken your skin?”
“Not once, Ma’am.”
“Has he ever whipped you in anger?”
“No, Ma’am.”
“In frustration?”
“No, Ma’am.”
“Under the influence of drugs or alcohol?”
He snorted as if it was a ridiculous question. “Absolutely not, Ma’am.”
“Thank you, Nick. You’re dismissed.”
“Thank you, Ma’am.” What the rest of the class didn’t see was when Nick lifted his head, he gave Charlotte an amused wink before pivoting on his feet and returning to his spot in the doorway.
However, Charlotte wasn’t done yet. Her rapid-fire questions reminded Mike of an attorney performing a cross examination of a witness. “Master Logan, would you mind stating your prior profession?”
Reese appeared to have been expecting the question. “Not at all. I was in Special Forces in the military, but can’t specify further for security reasons.”
“Special Forces are the best of the best in any branch, correct? And the training is grueling?”
“Absolutely.”
“Have you ever been whipped, Master Logan?”
“You know I have since you and Mistress Roxy have been the ones wielding the whip during my sessions.” Mike had only found out earlier that Reese had been scening with the two Dommes. He’d been surprised, then realized there was so much he wasn’t aware of when it came to Jake’s teammates.
“I know you can’t go into specifics, but why do you get whipped?”
“I find it therapeutic after experiencing a traumatic event during my time in the military that most people couldn’t even imagine.”
“Have I or Mistress Roxy ever broken your skin during a session?”
“Nope.”
“How difficult is it to stay perfectly still during a whipping scene?”
“In the beginning, it was very difficult. It took weeks before I could trust you both enough to stand with my back to you and allow you to whip me.”
“And now?”
He smiled. “Now, I trust you both 110%.”
