ChapterFourteen

Inside the room,things are really steamy, and not in a carnal way. At least not yet.

It takes me a moment to see through all the vapor, but when I do, I gape at the scene—a perfect word for what’s happening.

A Russian woman—who may be a supermodel—is sprawled on her belly on a nearby bench. Her bra straps are undone, her toned back exposed. Looming over her is a man holding the bushel/venik thing in his hand, raised as if it’s a flogger and he’s about to—

Yep.

He flogs her with the twigs. Once. Twice.

She moans.

Wait a fucking second.

Is banya the name for a secret Russian BDSM club?

“S lyehkim parom,” Art says to the couple.

“S lyehkim parom,” replies the Dominant in a deep voice.

“S lyohkim parom,” says the submissive.

Art sets the wooden plank he picked up on a free bench, then places a towel over it and gestures at it.

“Excuse me?” I ask.

“Lie down,” he says.

Fuck.

I’m tempted.

But he’s a fake husband-to-be.

Still, I can’t help but ask, “You want to spank me?”

He laughs. “The venik is used to draw heat and steam to your skin. It’s a type of massage. It doesn’t hurt.”

“Hard pass,” I say.

He shrugs. “You probably need to warm up first anyway.”

He sits on the towel and gestures for me to take a seat next to him.

Wow.

Droplets of moisture are already beading on his naked chest. I want to lick them.

Stupid banya. I’m starting to feel very steamy… in my panties.

I lean in and whisper, “What does ‘S lyohkim parom’ mean?”

“Literally, ‘have a light vapor,’” he says. “It’s a standard banya greeting. Just means ‘have a nice steam bath.’”

Yeah, or maybe that’s the safe word, to be used when the sub wants the Dom to cool it on the spanking.

“Relax and enjoy,” Art says.
