Bevan flushed a lovely shade of purple right before we were all getting ready to leave.
“Arden and Beyla, would you care to have a sleepover?”
Arden’s eyes glittered dangerously, and I wasn’t opposed to the idea. But, before I could even say anything, Nyx did.
“Please, claim these horny children for the night. They are only going to piss off Mrs. Garcia again, and I don’t trust her not to knock on our door and punch me in the face.”
“Isn’t she, like, a hundred years old… and human?” Merlin asked.
“Yes, and we’re all tired of her reign of terror over the laundry room,” Nyx said. “She’s a passive-aggressive cunt. It always goes in the same order. She curses through the wall, calls the cops, and then punishes the entire building by washing her fucking sheets every day instead of once a week. I sweata lot,Merlin. I like not stinking. It’s one of my many attributes. If you’re going to have some kinky threesome, do it away from her apartment. I need to do laundry.”
“I’m in, for the sake of Nyx’s stank!” I said.
“Shut up. I smell like unicorns.”
Nicolai and Merlin looked like they wanted to be invited, but were still happy for Bevan.
“The apartment next to Bevan’s belongs to a company member in the corps. She’s a witch, but in a weird way. She has orgies all the time, and things tend to get bizarre. There are flashing lights under the door, strange chanting, and the entire hallway reeks of weed for a week. She’s not going to do or say a damn thing if you get loud.”
“Lavender is theworst,”Nyx groaned. “She does not share my love of not being stinky. She thinks hosing herself down in patchouli is an acceptable substitute for deodorant, and that just doesn’t fly in a professional ballet company. If it’s not patchouli, it’s weed. It’s like she’s trying to groom me for one of her orgies. I’ve told her no, and asked her to leave me alone countless times at rehearsal.”
“I hate witches like that,” I said.
Arden just grunted.
“We could talk about Lavender all night, but I’ve just been invited to a threesome. So, go home and enjoy the silence, Nyx.”
“I’m going to walk around naked and use up all the hot water,” Nyx tossed over her shoulder.
“Bye, Nyx!” Bevan called.
Bevan looked like he was about to wet himself in excitement. Arden looked like he was ready to eat us both alive. I’d never had a threesome before, but if I had to pick any two people for my first? Yup, it would be Bevan and Arden.
I couldn’t wait.
Chapter20
Bevan
Iwasn’t quite sure what had gotten into Arden, but neither was he, so we were both going with it. Arden dotted all my I’s when it came to men. I had exactly two types. The tortured artist twink, that always ended badly, and the dark butch bad boy who was going to spank my ass and tell me I’d been naughty.
I always got those vibes from him, but he was a good friend, and I knew he didn’t date dancers. I also didn’t think he had a single bisexual bone in his body. So, I was pretty shocked to see him at the dungeon when I had been allowed access inside. I had previously been a member of another, but it’d been going downhill and this one was supposed to be more exclusive and safer.
I was looking for someone to punish me, and Arden was looking for someone to punish. It was never even brought up that we should meet those needs together, and it wasn’t weird at all when we ran into each other. We stopped and chatted for a bit. He didn’t threaten me not to tell anyone he was there. Arden knew he didn’t need to.
Just the fact that I was there meant his secret was safe. It had nothing to do with shame, and everything to do with respect for other people in the lifestyle. Not everyone understood it. It could turn into a PR nightmare for people like us, Arden more so than me.
Plenty of people would understand it was something that was done in private, between consenting adults, but prudes would never understand it. It could end his career if someone tried to spin it that Arden enjoyed abusing women. In reality, women could refuse to partner with him because they didn’t trust he wouldn’t hurt them and he'd respect that.
I had a feeling he told Beyla, and she was okay with it. I knew she had major trust issues because of her ex, but I also knew Arden was in high demand at the dungeon. It wasn’t just experienced subs that asked for him. People who’d just got accepted—and were brand new to the lifestyle and still figuring things out—wanted him, too. So, he was perfect for introducing Beyla slowly and seeing if she was into it.
Personally, I wanted to be tied up, spanked, and fucked tonight.
Beyla looked nervous, but excited. She always wore an amethyst ring on her middle finger. She started playing with it.
“Full confession, I’m excited about this, but I’ve never had a threesome before.”
Arden just chuckled.
