Page 50 of Embracing Desire

“I’m sorry you felt that way,” Jed said.“I had no idea Mike was going to be bringing the trailer back yesterday.”

“I realize that, now.But…” She closed her eyes then opened them.“If Mike hadn’t shown up, I would have begged for more.It’s hard for me to voice this, but I wanted more.I wanted to be bound and teased.”

“Oh, Kitty Kat,” Jed said.“There’s no reason to be afraid to tell us what you want.”

“Never be afraid,” Ry said.“We want you to be comfortable with us and our relationship.Don’t ever be scared to voice your desires and opinions to us.”

Katie took a deep breath and let it out.“Okay.I’m sorry about yesterday.”

Jed held up his hand.“Don’t apologize.”Jed started tracing his fingers over her stomach again.

“If something scares you, makes you want to run screaming, or whatever, tell us, Katie.We can work it out together, just like this.”Ry’s lips slid over her cheek before finding her lips.His kiss was soft, sweet, and gentle.Her blood heated.

When he lifted his head, Katie was boneless.Damn, she loved being with these two men.They made her feel like a woman, a desirable woman.

“So now what?”she asked.

“Just relax.”Jed slipped his arm around her waist.

His touch sent awareness shooting through her veins.

“Tonight, we’re just going to lay here.”Ry shifted so she was half lying on his chest.

“I like this idea.”And she did; it made her feel closer to them.

Katie pulled her car into the garage behind Ry and Jed’s house.She climbed out of her vehicle and sauntered up the walkway in the early evening sunshine.

In the last fourteen days, she’d had dinner with Ry and Jed every night, and many times lunch with one or the other.In that time, she’d learned she could talk to them about everything and anything.

They’d gone out to several restaurants in Felton’s Creek for dinner and even one day they had an afternoon break at Gran’s tea shop.

It was these times Katie didn’t take for granted.She learned a lot from the way Ry and Jed interacted with other people in town and how everyone treated them when they were out to dinner together.They were treated like family.Everyone talked to them, smiled, and there were even a few winks.

Not that there weren’t bumps in the road.There had been some hard stares and even some who shook their heads at the three of them.But Katie chose to ignore them.What they did in their private life was just that—private.They didn’t flaunt their lifestyle, and it was no one’s business.

After unlocking the front door, she pushed it open, surprised to find both Ry and Jed waiting for her.

“Hey, guys.”She strolled over to Ry, brushed a soft kiss against his lips before doing the same with Jed.

“Missed you today.”Ry caressed her cheek.

“Me too.”Jed took her hand.“And we have a surprise tonight.”

“Oh?”

“Yep.”Jed led her down to the dungeon with Ry following.

Her stomach quivered with excitement.They hadn’t had any extended play sessions in the last two weeks since Ry had been stuck working weekends.Not that they hadn’t played at all, but those sessions had been short.Now Ry had the weekend off, and it was Saturday evening.They had lots of time.

Jed pulled her to a stop by the bed, dropped her hand, and walked over to the closet.

“Strip, Katie,” Ry commanded.

“Yes, Sir.”Katie quickly removed her clothing.Goosebumps popped out over her skin in the coolness of the dungeon.

“I’ve got the outfit,” Jed said, withdrawing a hanger from the closet.
