“She climaxed.”

“Oh.” Lara ducked her head. It never occurred to her that someone could orgasm from a flogging.

“None of that.” Colby tapped her chin.

“What, Sir?”

“Embarrassment. Nothing is taboo here.”

“Not even ignorance, Sir?”

“You’re not ignorant. You don’t fully understand play yet, so none of that talk.”

Lara wasn’t so sure. The couple sharing the sofa with them stood, and Colby, instead of standing, maneuvered her and lifted her legs up so they were now resting on the sofa.

“Can you answer my questions truthfully?”

She stared at him. “I always do, Sir.” Why was he questioning her?

“Did watching the scene arouse you?” Need coursed through her veins, and Colby chuckled. “Based on how pink your skin is, I’m going to take that as a yes. There is nothing wrong with that. How did you feel when I was playing with your breasts?”

“It was nice, Sir.”

“Just nice? I guess I’ll have to up my game.”

Lara didn’t like the wicked gleam in Colby’s eyes, but she didn’t know what to say. It was nice. “Your touch was soft and gentle, Sir.”

A cry from across the room had her stiffening. Colby turned his head, and when he looked back at her, his lips were tilted up. “Just one of the subs on the spider web being spun around.”

“Sounds dangerous, Sir.” Spider web? Oh yeah, she remembered now, the big metal wheel that looked like a web.

“If it wasn’t a Dom who’d practiced on it, yes. But Master Max is there watching and making sure nothing goes wrong. Now back to you.”

Lara let out a sigh.

Colby held her gaze. “Sweetheart, if you don’t want to play in the club, tell me.”

“It’s not that, Sir.” She shifted on his lap. “I’m not sure how to explain it, Sir.”

“What is going through you mind?”

“I’m excited, but there is an underlying thread of unease.”

“Do you know what is causing the unease?” His voice held concern.

“I...” Lara stiffened. “Damn,” she whispered.Appearances mean everythingflashed through her mind, again.

“Would you please share?”

She glanced around, there was no one near them. “Please understand, Sir, this might come out a little wrong. I trust you.”

Colby lifted his hand and placed his palm on her cheek. Lara leaned into his touch. “I understand. And, for the moment, drop the Sir and talk to me.”

“We’ve never really discussed how secure the club is.” Would those who saw her here take it to the outside world? She knew the club had rules, but that didn’t mean everyone followed them.

“Are you worried about your safety?”

“No. I said that wrong. I meant security wise. Remember what I said Tuesday.”
