Edith moved to sit on the arm of the couch next to Gage while Olivia curled back up in Ripley’s lap. He tightened his arms around her when she was settled.

“Contrary to what you like to think, Gage Allard, you don’t know everything about everything. I have to keep some things to myself.”

Gage huffed but shrugged. “I guess I’ll have to give in and play one of these days.”

Ripley didn’t pretend to understand the hobby the two women shared, but he was happy seeing Olivia relaxed with their friends. He might have just met Edith, but he liked her already, and she was one of the founders of the club.

Edith regaled them with tales of her trip to a BDSM club called Serendipity in London a couple of weeks ago, and Ripley used her story time to get Olivia warmed up for their play time. When Edith started talking about a submissive she played with in London, Ripley nipped at her bare neck with his lips and teeth until she was squirming. He’d heard about the club in London. It was very different from Exposure because they focused on high protocol and formality. Exposure was laid back and fun. He much preferred the latter but could see the appeal of Serendipity on occasion.

When Gage chimed in to talk about how he’d attended a kinky birthday party where they turned the birthday girl into a human pinata, he whispered in her ear, “Would you like Daddy to tie you to a tree and let everyone take a swing at you?”

She giggled and shoved his face away. “Stop it. You’re driving me crazy.”

“Yeah?” he murmured against her skin. “You like it when I drive you crazy, don’t you?”

He trailed a hand up her bare thigh, and under the dress he’d insisted she wear.

“You want to play, baby girl?” he asked as Gage finished his story.

Her breathing hitched, and she nodded.

“Answer me right.”

“Yes, Daddy,” she whimpered when he grazed her sensitive folds through her lace panties.

“Daddy?” Gage lifted an eyebrow. “I think that’s our cue to get out of here, Edith.”

Edith chuckled and looped arms with Gage. “We have business to talk about, anyway. I’ve been gone too long.”

Gage winked at Olivia as they headed for the door and likely to Gage’s office.

“Go outside, Liv. And find a good hiding spot. If you make this too easy on me, you will not like what I do to you. I want a challenge.”

She raised an eyebrow at him.

“How much time do I get?”

He lifted one shoulder. “Where’s the fun in telling you that? We’ll say less than twenty minutes and more than five.”

She nodded. “I can work with that.”

He gripped her chin and pressed his forehead to hers. “You fuckin’ better, little girl, or I’ll tear you apart out there. Is that what you want our first scene here to be? Me pinning you down and forcing my cock into all your holes? Because if I catch you too quickly that’s what I’m going to do, and I won’t let you come. But if you make me work for it, I’ll reward you. Now go. Clock’s ticking.”

Watching her change from the powerful, capable woman she was, to the turned on submissive who was also a little afraid of him was hot as fuck. She yelped when he swatted her ass hard before she got away from him and sprinted for the door.

In the past, they would play with intense fear, and his threats were a lot more wicked than threatening to fuck her anywhere he could. But he wanted to ease them back into that. It was so important for him to handle everything with care since they had been apart for so long. And he’d already been pretty rough on her with her punishment, today.

He waited a couple of minutes longer, then stood and slowly made his way to the same door Olivia had gone through.

Time to hunt.

Olivia looked around the large fenced in outdoor play space of Club Exposure, searching for the perfect place to hide. The rain had slowed to a light drizzle, but there was lots of mud, which made her smirk. They were definitely going to need a shower when they finished.

She spotted Noah talking with a woman she didn’t recognize and ran up to him.

“Noah, do you want to help me get laid?”

“I’m flattered, but aren’t you with Ripley?”
