“I think someone is afraid of Damon,” Sierra teased.

Tessa almost said, “am not” like a kid. She wasn’t afraid of Damon; she didn’t want any further punishments, and there was no guessing how the guys would react if they showed up without notice. “How about we call first?”

“That will ruin the surprise.” Sierra crossed her arms over her chest.

There was no reasoning with Sierra when she was in this mood. “Let me go to the bathroom first.” Tessa slipped into the bathroom. Her friends could get mad at her later. She pulled out her phone and texted Damon.

“We’re going to have company,” Damon said with a smile.

“What?” Max looked up from the financials they were studying.

“Tessa texted me they’re on their way out here.”

Max and Jordan pulled their phones out and shook their heads. “Nothing from Sierra.”

“Nor from Crystal.”

“What are they up to?” Max asked.

“And why did Tessa warn you? She had to know you’d tell us,” Jordan commented.

Damon wondered about that as well. “It might have to do with my disciplining her last night.”

Max and Jordan grinned. “How did that go?” Jordan asked.

“It was more of a reinforcement of the rules, to be honest. I only spanked her six times, enough to get my point across.”

“That’s what I’ll need to do with Sierra. She knows better than to do something like this.”

“Same with Crystal. How are we going to play this?”

The men went silent for a moment, then Max grinned. “Let them think they got away with it.” He tapped his fingers on the table. “Then we pounce.”

Jordan rubbed his hands together. “They’ll learn not to surprise their Doms when they’ve been told it’s a business meeting.”

Damon shook his head. “I won’t punish Tessa. She told me.”

“Of course not,” Max said. “I’ll take Sierra into the bedroom. Jordan your choice of office or the club.”

“I can use the office. All I need is a chair or a table. A desk will work too. It might be fun to use a ruler.”

“Oh, those two are in for it,” Damon said.

“We Doms need to keep them in line. They knew this was a business meeting, not a get-together to shoot the bull.” Max stood up. “I’m going to go get some things ready. Damon, if you’re interested, there’s a nice shady place right past those trees.” Max pointed past the pool. “You and Tessa can explore a little nature while you’re here.”

“Now that sounds delightful. Do you have a blanket and pillows?”

“Coming right up.” Max disappeared into the house, then came back out with the items. “Jordan, you need anything?”

“No. I’m going to clear an area on your desk.” Jordan stood.

“Ruler in the top hand drawer, and there is also a metal one.”

“Excellent.” Jordan’s eyes gleamed with anticipation.

Damon shook his head as his two friends walked into the house. The afternoon had taken an intriguing twist.
