Good. Maybe Logan could give him more information on that teacher from their talk at the school. Brianna hadn’t left his mind since they’d met. He was attracted to her, but didn’t know if she reciprocated. Although she did blush a time or two when he caught her staring at him. Plus, Logan might know if she had any interest in BDSM.

“Hey, Rafe.” Logan tapped him on the shoulder.

“How did the talk with Max go?” Jordan asked.

“Good.”

“And?” Jordan prompted.

“I’ll do it, but only once the modifications are made.” He wasn’t going to compromise on that. Fire and personal safety first. “I do also want to make sure everyone knows it’s RACK.”

“I didn’t think Max allowed RACK,” Dane said, joining the conversation.

Rafe shook Dane’s hand. He’d opened an art gallery in town and decided to stay. His partner, Regina, was one of the subs and always made sure to make everyone feel welcome.

“We’ve been thinking about it,” Jordan answered. “Some of the members have an interest in fire play, and Rafe here is an expert in it.”

“I wouldn’t say expert.” Rafe was surprised by Jordan’s words.

“I would,” Max said, joining the group. “I talked with the master you studied under and still keep up with. Plus, you’re a firefighter.”

“If anyone knows fire, it’s you,” Logan commented.

Rafe nodded. He had studied under the best, but it was more than that. The way flames moved, how a fire burned, what caused a fire to start. You name it, he’d studied it.

Some might call it an obsession, but after watching his childhood home burn down, his goal had always been to help others when needed and learning how fire worked, and being a firefighter was a big part of that goal.

“I’ll set up something up with Zeke and Gabriel next week, since they both worked on the addition, to see how long it will take to get a room ready. Once that’s done, we’ll make a general announcement.”

“If you want, Max, I can do dry cupping here in the club anytime. That might help give us an idea of how many people want to try fire cupping.”

“Dry cupping?” Dane asked.

“Yes. To simplify, it’s the same concept, but I use suction rather than fire to help the muscles. It also helps a people decide if they want to actually do fire cupping.”

“Sounds intriguing,” Logan commented.

“Many find both relaxing. Massage therapists do cupping, and a lot of athletes use it, especially in competition where muscles are strained.”

“I bet it’s better than a massage,” Jordan said, rolling his shoulders.

“It can be. Depends on what you’re looking for.” Rafe hadn’t thought about the Doms wanting to do cupping; he figured it was for the subs. Why he thought that, he didn’t know. “I’m open to any Doms who want to try it. Max, before I do any cupping, I want to make sure everyone understands RACK.”

“No problem. We can do a demo of dry cupping, and you can explain what you’re doing and RACK at the same time.”

“So you’re changing the rules?” Dane said.

“A little.” Max ran his hand through his hair. “I still won’t allow blood play, bodily fluids, or needles. Those have way too many bio hazards. After talking with Rafe, we can minimize the fire play risks to the participants, and also to the club.”

“I like it,” Jordan commented.

Rafe wasn’t surprised the Doms liked the idea of it, but he had to wonder about the subs. How many of them would enjoy it? A lot of people did. It helped remove the toxins from the body, but it could also make one feel relaxed and sensual.

“Who’s the new sub?” Dane asked, tilting his head toward the area where the subs gathered.

Rafe turned his head, and his eyes opened wide. Brianna? What was she doing here? His heart pounded.

“That’s Brianna,” Logan said. “She’s friends with Ellie.”
