“God, yes,” Jade said. “I need you—”
Before she could say another word, Simone slipped a finger inside, then another. Jade gasped, her hands curling into fists behind her back as Simone slid in deeper, filling her completely. Jade's eyes fell shut, a tremor spreading through her. And asSimone began moving inside her, the tension in her body melted away, replaced by pure, unrelenting pleasure.
A moan rose from Jade’s chest, her back and hips arching toward Simone.
“That’s it,” she said, her lips grazing Jade’s ear. “Come apart for me.”
She moved her fingers faster, curling them against that sweet spot inside, the heel of her hand rolling over Jade’s aching clit. And with every thrust, a jolt of electricity coursed through her, rocking her body and the table underneath her. A folder slid from the tabletop onto the floor, its contents spilling out. But Jade hardly noticed. She was so lost in sensation, lost in Simone and the pleasure deep between her thighs, building and building like a gathering storm.
She wrapped her legs around Simone’s hips, thighs clenching, hips rocking, until finally, she couldn’t take it any longer.
“Oh god…” Jade’s whole body tensed. “Oh!”
Her climax hit her like a crashing wave, surging through her body. Her head flung back, a cry rising from her chest as ecstasy consumed her. But Simone didn’t stop, thrusting and delving and curling her fingers, drawing Jade’s orgasm on and on.
Until finally, she fell back down to the table, breathless, sweaty, and spent.
“Here.” Simone handed Jade a glass of water. “Drink.”
She waited for Jade to finish the entire glass before taking it from her and setting it down on the coffee table. Then she took a seat on the couch next to Jade, drawing her down into her lap, her arms draped around her.
Jade closed her eyes and let out a contented sigh. She liked this warmer, softer side of Simone. How many people got to see this side of the formidable Simone Weiss?
“That was amazing,” Jade murmured. “I’m glad you decided we should spend the evening here instead of in the office.” She peered up at Simone. “Was that just an excuse to get me back here so you could… you know?”
“Not entirely,” Simone said. “We do need to get some work done this evening. But I thought we could both use the chance to unwind.”
Jade smiled. “Glad I could help. But if we need to get back to work—”
“Oh, I’m not done with you yet. Besides, I’d be remiss in my duties as your Mistress if I didn’t give you some aftercare.”
“Right,” Jade said. “I had to look up what that word meant, along with a bunch of words from that questionnaire. My search history is filled with things like ‘what is forniphilia?’ now.”
Simone chuckled softly. “I can’t say that’s a personal kink of mine, but we’ve discussed getting someone in for a demonstration at the club. We want to cater to all kinds of tastes.”
Jade studied Simone’s face. “The way you talk about all this. It’s like it’s so mundane to you.”
“I wouldn’t say it’s mundane. But it’s a world I’m intimately familiar with.”
“So how long have you been into this kind of thing?” Jade asked.
“It’s hard to say. I’ve been drawn to it all my entire life. Domination, submission, everything that comes with it. But all the trappings? The whips, and cuffs, and ropes, and so on? They’re just tools. Props. There’s satisfaction in mastery, in wielding those tools with an expert hand. But that’s not what it’s about for me. That’s not what really appeals to me.”
“Then what does?”
“What really gives me satisfaction?” Simone said. “It’s submission in its purest form. A woman on her knees, at my feet, surrendering every part of her being to me. That level of vulnerability, of trust, is a transcendental experience. It’s the most beautiful gift a submissive can give her Domme.”
Jade’s heart raced. The erotic games the two of them played left her feeling vulnerable. But the surrender Simone spoke of? The trust? That seemed like something different. Somethingmore.
“Is that why you started Club Velvet?” Jade asked. “Because of your love of BDSM?”
Simone nodded. “I wanted to create a place where women are free to explore all our deepest, darkest desires. Or rather,wewanted to. While the idea was mine, the club was made possible with the help of some like-minded friends.”
“The other owners, right? I heard the club was started by a bunch of rich lesbians, but that’s all.”
“Well, there are one or two bisexuals in the mix, but that’s the gist of it. There are four of us, each playing our own role. I’m the unofficial CEO, dealing with the big picture. Elle handles most of the logistics of running the club, since that’s her area of expertise. Olivia does PR and deals with people. Valerie? She holds us all together, makes sure everything is running smoothly. Between her kid and her job as a Hollywood exec, she has plenty of experience with averting disasters.”
“Wait a minute,” Jade said. “Are you talking aboutValerie Kane? The movie producer?”
