Page 12 of Their Little Christmas Bounty
“Yeah.But I’m starting to worry about her.We haven’t heard from her in a while.”
He nods and gets in the car.

I spend a lot of time going over paperwork in Low Vice.They didn’t even want to let me in at first, but I mentioned my “friends” Austin and Lyle, and I dropped a year’s membership fee, declining the need for a trial.
“I already know I’m going to love it here,” I say.
And then, I’m in.This place is a miracle—it’s like Kynkworld come to life.Everything in front of me is sexy and fun.Sleek, posh, dirty, raunchy—there’s no overall vibe.Everyone seems welcome to do their own thing, as long as they don’t judge others.I love it.
The first thing I do is send a text to Lyle and Austin.Come and get me at Low Vice…Daddies.I can’t help but smile, imagining their reactions.
With that taunt finished, I take a better look at my surroundings.There’s a big X in the corner, made from two large, wooden beams.Leather bindings are attached to chains at every point.They look adjustable.I cock my head, remembering a video I saw on Kynkworld.It’s a St.Andrew’s cross.A woman was bound to something like that, then teased and whipped.I masturbated after watching the video, unable to keep my hands off myself.I wonder if I’ll see someone play with it tonight.
I hop on a barstool and order a virgin daiquiri.But I’ve barely taken two sips before a giant of a man saunters over and sits next to me.
“From your flirty little dress, I’m going to guess you’re here to be dominated.If I’m wrong, though, I’ll walk away.”
“Don’t walk away.”I stare up and up until I meet his gaze.“But I’m new—I’ve never done this before.”
“What do you want to try?”
My gaze flicks over to the Saint Andrew’s cross in the corner.
“That’s pretty advanced for a first-timer.”He cocks his head at me.“But I get the sense you’ve been wanting it for a long time.Strip down, sweetheart, and I’ll give you a beginner’s flogging.”
“It doesn’t have to be for a beginner,” I say.
“Yes.”His voice is dark and certain.“It does.I’m not in the habit of pushing a new sub too far, too fast.”
I nod, strangely gratified that he sounds responsible, and kind.“And no sex,” I add at the last second.“Just the…the flogging.”
“Understood.”He takes my hand and leads me to the cross in the corner.“Now.Dress off.”

Ared light catches us before I can turn onto Caro.I have to slam on the brakes.
“Hey, calm down.”Lyle leans back in his seat, eyes half-closed like we’re on a leisurely drive along the coastal highway, and not about to pounce on the most difficult bounty we’ve hunted in our five-year-long partnership.
“Did I read that text right?”I drum my fingers against the steering wheel, staring at the red light, willing it to change.“Did she really say,Come and get me at Low Vice…Daddies?”
Lyle chuckles.“Yep.I guess she’s a brat.”
“She isn’t a brat, she’s abounty.”
He gives me a look that clearly says,why not both?Then he leans back, tugging his baseball cap down over his eyes.
“Are younapping?”I jam down on the gas just before the light turns green.
“Trying to.”
I grumble under my breath for the remaining time to Low Vice.Some of my ire is directed toward partners who think they can sleep on the job.Some of it is directed toward brats.
