Voicemail. Fucking voicemail, now?
″Tosh,″ Suzie said into the phone breathlessly. ″My dearest friend in the whole entire world, this is really important, so if you could answer your fucking phone, that would be fantastic.″ Suzie hung up and tapped the phone against her lips. The sad thing was, Tosh was Suzie's dearest friend in the world. Suzie had fled London and never looked back, even for the people she liked. She couldn't look back. It wasn't safe.
She sighed. How desperate did she have to get before she called Jack? The contact list in her mobile consisted of various businesses and four actual human beings. Two were the reason Suzie was in this mess, and they were rushing to the airport so that they could barely catch the one direct flight from Cardiff to Edinburgh that would leave that day. They probably wouldn't be answering their phones, and if by some miracle they were, there was no way they could come back to help Suzie out of this situation. Suzie didn't really blame them for that. Tosh wasn't answering her phone either, for some inadequate reason. It probably wasn't fair to blame Tosh for that, since there were lots of good reasons why she might not be answering her phone, but Suzie was finding that she did blame Tosh for it, nevertheless. The fourth person, the last resort if Suzie was truly desperate, was Jack Harkness.
Well, he'd help her, if he actually answered his phone. He'd laugh and he'd probably tease her about it, but he'd help her. As far as that went, though, Suzie would laugh and tease any friend that called her in this situation.
Maybe Tosh was with Jack. It was likely. Tosh wasn't working, because if Tosh were working, Suzie would be. Tosh didn't have a social life. She had Jack. Suzie wasn't sure how she had Jack—the Cardiff kinky community seemed to think they were a couple, but in every context outside of kink, Jack and Tosh themselves seemed to have missed that memo. Still, Tosh didn't date much and Suzie strongly suspected that Tosh had fewer human contacts in her mobile than Suzie did. If Tosh was busy with something other than work, there was a good chance it was Jack.
That thought at least justified giving Jack a call. If he answered and Tosh wasn't there, Suzie would decide what to do on impulse.
She took a deep breath and called Jack.
He answered on the second ring. ″Hey,″ he said. ″How are you?″
″Not great,″ Suzie admitted. ″Is Tosh with you?″
″Yeah, she is,″ Jack said. Thank god. ″I'm sorry to hear that you're having a bad day. Anything I can do to help?″
″You can give Tosh your mobile and let me talk to her.″
″Tosh isn't really in an position to be talking to anyone. Can I take a message?″
″Scene's over, Jack!″ Suzie snapped. ″Take whatever is in her mouth out of it and give her the fucking mobile.″
″Shit,″ Jack said. ″What's wrong?″
″I want to talk to Tosh.″
Jack sighed. ″Hold on.″
Jack put the phone down, and Suzie heard movement and, at one point, ″Ow! Not like that! To the left!″ from Tosh. Then Jack picked up the mobile and, after several seconds, Tosh said ″Hello?″
″Don't judge me,″ Suzie said.
″I'll try...″ Tosh said.
Suzie would take it. ″I need you to bring me some clothes. Not to my flat, to a hotel.″ Suzie told her exactly which hotel, and its general location.
″Okay,″ Tosh said. ″I'll do it, but how'd you end up in a hotel without any clothes?″
″It's a funny story, actually,″ Suzie said with no humor in her voice. ″I went on a playdate with this lovely couple whom I've played with a couple of times before. Funny thing: she and I have the exact same long black coat. We met at this hotel. I wore my fetish clothes under that long black coat. She didn't wear a coat. She was wearing a sweater. We were playing and things were going well and then they got a phone call telling them that Peter's dad is on his death bed in Edinburgh. They called the airport and it turned out that if they left quickly, they could just make the flight there today. So they got dressed in a hurry and I got in the shower to wash the chocolate syrup off my thighs and when I got out of the shower, the coat was gone. Lily must have grabbed it thinking it was hers. I can get it back from her later, so it wouldn't really be a big deal, except that there is no way in Hell I am leaving this room wearing nothing but thigh-highs and a corset.″ Suzie sighed and lightly beat her head against the wall behind her. ″I can't even find my g-string. I can't imagine they took that, though. It's just hidden itself somewhere for the cleaning staff to find.″
″Oh.″ Tosh said. ″Right. It happens to the best of us. I'll just... Stop by ASDA and find something in your size and bring it to you?″
″Room 151,″ Suzie said, and she told Tosh her sizes. ″I'll pay you back! You're a life-saver. Oh, and tell Jack that any stupid comments he wants to make about this, he can make to you. I'm not in the mood.″
″Sure,″ Tosh said. She hung up, and Suzie laid back on the bed, naked and frustrated in more ways than one and really looking forward to getting home and salvaging what was left of her Saturday with wine and a movie and probably some ice cream. Maybe a cigarette. Suzie officially didn't smoke anymore, but a cigarette would feel good today. All the things that were bad for her. She probably didn't have much of a right to be mopey. Shit, Peter's dad was dying, and he didn't seem to be as happy about that as Suzie would be to hear that her own father was finally dropping dead. She wasn't even having the worst day out of the three people who'd checked into this hotel room, let alone out of everyone in the world. Still. She'd been denied the hot threesome she'd wanted, and she saw very little harm in indulging in other ways to make up for it.
She was still naked on the bed when she heard a knock on the door.
Thank god.
She peeked through the hole to make sure that it really was Tosh, and then she hid behind the door as she let Tosh in.
″I got here as quickly as I could,″ Tosh said. ″Sorry I didn't answer when you called me.″
Suzie smirked. ″I got the feeling that Jack was the one who should apologize for that.″
″No,″ Tosh said sternly. ″Sometimes subs can be held responsible for our own decisions and not get spanked for it. I was as much a part of that scene as Jack was.″
Suzie held up her hands. ″Fine. Sorry. It doesn't really matter.″ Suzie started looking through the bags. A bra, some knickers, flip-flops and a floral-print dress. It was cheap and not at all Suzie's style, but it would get Suzie home with minimal humiliation and no public indecency charges. ″I'm sorry that I ruined your fun too, but I didn't have a lot of options.″
″It's fine,″ Tosh said. ″You didn't really ruin it, you just delayed it a bit. It's not like Jack or I had plans later on.″
″So how much of an asshole was Jack about all this?″ Suzie asked, pulling on the bra.
″He feels sorry for you,″ Tosh said. She smirked. ″He said I should offer to eat you out to make you feel better.″
″Oh, that's just what I want,″ Suzie said sarcastically. ″A charity-fuck from someone's else's sub.″
″Suit yourself,″ Tosh said. ″I wouldn't actually mind doing it. I haven't had sex with a woman in ages.″
Suzie looked over at Tosh. Suzie was holding the knickers, but she hadn't put them on yet.
Tosh shrugged. ″All I'm saying is that this isn't how either of us wanted to spend our afternoon. I think Jack's right that we should salvage it, if we can.″
Suzie smirked. ″And what does Jack get out of all of this?″
″Me in a slightly better mood when I go back to him?″ Tosh said. ″Not having to be burdened with thoughts of your sad situation?″
Suzie rolled her eyes. ″He's not going to wank while you tell him all about it?″
″Not unless you're in on it. That would be creepy.″
″Yeah,″ Suzie said. She put down the knickers. ″It would.″
Tosh smiled back softly.
″You're taking your clothes off if we're doing this,″ Suzie said, pulling the bra right back off. ″I don't have quickies with girls who can't even be bothered to take their clothes off.″
″Right,″ Tosh said, even as she pulled her own shirt over her head. ″It's a very different thing to have a quicky with a naked girl. Much more romantic.″ Still, Tosh's bra followed her shirt, and then her shoes and socks came off, and finally her trousers and her knickers.
When Tosh was naked, she walked over to Suzie, and Suzie grabbed her and lightly pushed her onto the bed.
″Lie down,″ Suzie said.
Tosh did so quickly.
Suzie adjusted Tosh's arms slightly, and then Suzie climbed onto the bed herself, tossed a leg over Tosh's body, pinned both of Tosh's arms under her knees, and sat on Tosh's face.
Tosh was a good and experienced sub. She knew what was expected of her when a Domme sat on her face. Tosh only took a second to get her bearings, and then Suzie felt the lightly textured, wet touch of a tongue run over her cunt. Her body, which had long since wound down from it's previous excitement, didn't need any time to get back into the mood. Her cunt woke up and began aching with need between every flick of Tosh's skilled pink tongue, and Suzie kept Tosh pinned and rode that pleasure for a minute or so, before Suzie leaned forward. Tosh wasn't Suzie's sub, and it seemed polite to reciprocate.
Suzie reached past Tosh's dark pubic hair and spread the lips of Tosh's cunt to give herself access to Tosh's clit, and then she brought her lips down until they were almost touching Tosh, but not quite. Tosh would be able to feel Suzie's breath against her most sensitive areas, and the anticipation had to be building, even though it did nothing to distract Tosh from her own task. On the contrary, Tosh seemed to work harder, obviously hoping that if she were nice to Suzie, Suzie would be nice to her.
Suzie was. Tosh squeaked slightly the first time Suzie dragged her tongue along Tosh's clit, an adorable but slightly undignified sound. Suzie responded with a deep, sensual moan, to teach Tosh how it was down.
Tosh got the hint. She sucked on Suzie's clit and gave a deep moan over her own, and the muscles in Suzie's thighs trembled with pleasure as Suzie fought not to buck into Tosh's mouth.
Suzie had every intention of coming first, so she deliberately kept Tosh on the edge, just as a little extra encouragement, but never pushed her over the edge. It was good for a sub to have a goal to work toward, especially if that sub hadn't had sex with a woman in ages. Tosh responded exactly as Suzie had hoped, with fervent licks and lots of breathy, sensual noises, until finally Suzie herself came with a loud moan, and she relaxed on top of Tosh's body for a few seconds until Tosh gave another needy moan. Now that Tosh had done her part, Suzie wasted no time bringing Tosh to her own orgasm, and they lied on the bed in a tangle of tired limbs.
″You were right,″ Suzie admitted. ″That did make my day a lot better. It no longer feels like a total waste.″
″Mmm,″ Tosh said. ″Jack was right. It was his idea.″
″Whatever,″ Suzie said, rolling off of Tosh. Then Suzie sighed. ″Is he good to you?″
″Yes,″ Tosh said immediately. ″Very. I love subbing for him. I've never been with one Dom for this long before, actually.″
″That's good,″ Suzie said. ″I don't submit for men very often.″
″Oh,″ Tosh said. ″You're a switch?″
″A little bit,″ Suzie said. ″I'm mostly a Domme, but for the right woman and, rarely, for the right man, I'll make an exception. Or if I'm in the right mood, if it's just a one-time thing.″
″Well,″ Tosh said, ″If you ever find yourself in the mood, you should give Jack a call. He's good to his subs and I can't imagine that he'd say no to you if you asked.″
″I might actually do that, at some point,″ Suzie said. ″In any case, if you and he ever find yourselves looking for a third player in either role, call me. I might say no, depending on the specifics, but...″ Suzie caressed Tosh's thigh gently. ″I might say yes.″
″I'll let Jack know.″
They both pulled their clothes on. Suzie gathered up her fetish gear and threw it into the shopping bag. They went down to their cars, and drove home. Suzie drank her wine and ate her ice cream and watched chick flicks, because she could. Tosh most likely went back to Jack, and finished whatever they'd been in the middle of when Suzie called. Life went on.
It was three months later when Suzie's phone rang on a dull, rainy afternoon. It was Jack, so Suzie assumed that something was eating someone somewhere on the other side of the city, and she quickly answered her phone.
″So,″ Jack said as soon as Suzie said 'Hello,' ″Are you still interested in that threesome?″
Suzie was speechless. She'd all but forgotten that had happened. Had Tosh just now mentioned it to Jack, or had Jack been sitting on it for a while? What role did Jack want her in? What did Jack think it meant if she said yes? How would it change things between them at work if she said yes? Did Suzie really trust Tosh's opinion on whether or not Jack was a good Dom enough to let Jack dominate her? As all of these thoughts buzzed through Suzie's head, somehow, the first coherent thought that Suzie could get out of her mouth was ″Call me a unicorn and I'll rip your balls off with my bare hands, okay?″
There was silence on the other end of the line for two long seconds, and then Jack laughed. ″Understood. Is that a 'yes'?″
Suzie paused. ″It... It might be? What exactly did you have in mind?″
″Well,″ Jack said, ″I'm not in any mood to share Tosh. You'd have to be submissive.″
Suzie thought about that for a minute. She rarely submitted to men. She'd only had one long-term male Dom before in her life, in fact, and he'd been Indian. More than that, though, he'd been Suzie's friend in a time when Suzie hadn't had friends. Suzie had known for a fact that he would never hurt her. On the other hand, though... Suzie hadn't contacted him in years. She couldn't contact him, even though she missed him. It wasn't safe. And he had a wife and probably a few kids now and Suzie was sure he'd long ago forgotten about her. If Suzie had friends now, Tosh and Jack were them. Even the couple she was fucking weren't her friends. They were fuck-buddies. Nothing more. They never did anything together that didn't involve taking off their clothes. She didn't exactly meet up with Tosh and Jack for poker games, but she did trust them with her life on a regular basis. They knew more about her than anyone else in this city. Jack was the only person Suzie was still in contact with who knew the first thing about where Suzie came from. He didn't know much—He didn't ask questions about things that were none of his business. That had always been one of Suzie's favorite things about Jack—but he knew more than anyone else and he'd kept those secrets and protected her for all these months.
″Alright,″ Suzie said. ″My safeword is 'Eridanus.'″
There was a second of silence on the other end, and then Jack fondly said ″There's a story behind that.″
″Yes,″ Suzie said. ″It's not important right now.″
Jack didn't push. ″Fair enough. Anything that is my business? Hard limits I should know going in?″
″I don't do race play, you don't get to call me anything that insults my ethnicity or my gender, biological waste products are out of the question, including vomit, and you can't slap me or punch me. Spanking me is fine.″
″Understood.″
″And can I ask you something?″
″You can right now, so you'd probably better.″
″Why are you calling me about this now?″
″Tosh and I were talking and we thought that bringing someone else in might be fun.″
″Hopefully for me too,″ Suzie said. ″I'm not used to having to compete with other subs for a Dom's affection.″
″I have plenty of affection for both of you, trust me. And I think you two have a bit for each other. Tosh really seemed to enjoy helping you out of that situation a few months back.″
″And you didn't feel you needed another person back then?″
″We don't need another person now. But if you'd like to join us, we'd be happy to have you now. Fair?″
″Fair,″ Suzie agreed.
″What time is it now?″ Jack asked.
″A few minutes after noon.″
″Be here at six.″
″Whatever you want.″
Suzie walked through the door of Jack's office at exactly six o'clock, and Tosh was already tied to his desk with her legs spread wide.
″Am I late?″ Suzie asked.
Jack glanced at the clock. ″No. You're right on time.″
″So you started without me?″
″No,″ Jack said. ″I just got ready for you.″
He walked over to her with long, stiff, vaguely threatening strides, and then he cupped her face and made her look him in the eyes before he bent down and kissed her on the lips, insistently but softly. Suzie found that she enjoyed it. She arched into the kiss and let him bring a hand behind her back to help her keep her balance, so that she was more at his mercy. He was already naked, and that made her feel better about the fact that she soon would be as well, even though that she knew that her position in this scene left her far more vulnerable and exposed than Jack's left him.
When Jack stopped kissing Suzie, he reached for the buttons on her blouse. He started with the bottom button and moved up, over her stomach, until finally his hands were right up against her throat.
Trust.
If Suzie couldn't trust Jack then she couldn't trust anyone.
The button came undone and Suzie helped Jack slip the blouse off of her arms, and then, without moving behind her, Jack unclasped her bra. He reached between her cleavage to grab it at the center, and stepped back to pull it off in one quick, smooth motion. He dropped it on the floor and stepped close to her again, and his hands went directly to the clasp on her skirt. It was undone and he was pushing her skirt down in seconds. Suzie stepped out of it, and then off came her knickers.
″You can keep the shoes or lose them,″ Jack said, looking at her gladiator sandals. ″I don't care.″ He turned around and gestured to his desk. ″Go say hello to Tosh.″
Suzie left her sandals on, for time's sake, and did as she was told. She walked over to the side of the desk and looked down at Tosh for a moment, curiously.
Tosh smiled reassuringly. ″Hello,″ Tosh said softly.
″Hello,″ Suzie said, and then she decided to make it a good hello, and she leaned down and kissed Tosh. Her lips weren't as soft as Jack's, but she responded more hungrily while he had been cool. She opened her mouth and let Suzie's tongue in almost immediately, and moaned as Suzie ran her tongue along Tosh's lips. Tosh's hands were bound, but Suzie raised her right hand and brought them to Tosh's breasts, which were soft and smooth beneath Suzie's fingers. Suzie ran her fingers over Tosh's nipples, first the right and then the left, and enjoyed how large and perky they'd become, left exposed to the cool air of the base for who knew how long. Suzie could feel her own nipples hardening too, adjusting to the cold and preparing to be touched and played with and claimed by a Dom for the first time in a very long time. Suzie rolled Tosh's nipple between her fingers and even tugged lightly on the left one. It couldn't have really hurt, but it made Tosh gasp and her eyes light up.
Jack cleared his throat sharply. ″That's enough.″
Suzie wondered if she'd gone too far. Jack had said he was not at all in the mood to share Tosh. Perhaps Suzie should be careful about the liberties she took with Tosh, especially while she was bound and helpless and so completely exposed for Suzie as well as Jack. ″Sorry,″ Suzie said softly.
″I didn't say you had anything to apologize for,″ Jack said. He walked over to Suzie and he stroked her cheek. ″I'm not going to punish you for being too eager to do what I asked you to do. You knew I wanted you to play with her. You stopped when I told you to stop. That's what matters.″ He kissed Suzie again, this time lightly and comfortingly, then he said, ″Now, get up on the desk and get onto your hands and knees above her, facing her feet.″
Suzie knew where this was going. She obeyed quickly. It took one smooth movement to get onto the desk, and then she tossed her knee over Tosh's waist and waited for Jack to follow her.
He didn't, right away. First, he walked into Suzie's field of vision, and caressed Tosh's leg slowly and sensually before reaching up and twirling one of Suzie's loose curls. When he let her hair go, he brought that same hand to the back of her head, and gently pushed down. Suzie leaned forward under the pressure until her mouth was nearly pressed to Tosh's cunt, exactly where she'd expected it to go.
″Don't do anything until I tell you to,″ Jack said.
Suzie swallowed and nodded.
″Suzie?″ Jack said. Apparently he wanted verbal answers.
″Yes, master,″ Suzie said. 'Master' was not Suzie's favorite term for her Doms, perhaps somewhat hypocritically, but they hadn't discussed what he wanted her to call him, and Suzie knew as a switch that it was better to called a Dom the highest honorific you can think of and let them tell you to be a bit less formal than to call them something that they might decide is too casual. Suzie had made a man scream before for calling her 'ma'am' instead of 'mistress.'
Jack chuckled slightly. ″'Jack,' is fine, Suzie.″
″Then yes, Jack.″
″Good girl.″
There it was. Suzie had always had a strange reaction to those words. They made her feel embarrassed, but in a good way. It was like being twelve again and hearing her mother brag about her at dinner parties. It was simultaneously condescending and encouraging. Suzie could feel herself blushing and she was glad that neither Jack nor Tosh was in a position to see her face get red.
She heard the noises as Jack climbed onto the desk behind her, then she felt him behind her, just behind Tosh's head, ready to enter Suzie from behind.
His hand slipped up Suzie's thigh so quickly and possessively that Suzie actually squirmed a little.
Jack just chuckled again. ″Should I wear a condom, Suzie, or should I enter you bare?″ His voice was playful, like he'd already decided on the answer, but Suzie knew that he was asking because he really wanted Suzie to decide. The tone of voice was just to avoid breaking character.
″I'm on the pill,″ Suzie said. She didn't have to worry about anything else that could happen as a result Jack not wearing protection. Jack had antibiotics that could cure anything, short of open wounds. Open wounds and genetic modification cases were the only reasons they ever even talked about hiring a doctor. ″So...″ His hand was still rubbing her thigh slightly, keeping her excited. Suzie didnt have a great submissive voice, but she managed to at least not sound sarcastic when she said ″Whatever would please you, Jack.″
″Bare it is,″ Jack said. He pushed into her a second later, before Suzie was really ready for it. Suzie gasped slightly, and Jack shushed her. ″It's okay,″ he said, now stroking down Suzie's back to help her relax her body and adjust to him. ″As soon as you're ready, start eating Tosh out, and I'll take care of you and I. It'll all be nice and easy.″
Suzie had PIV sex with the men she dominated, if they were good. She liked riding them and watching them squirm. It hadn't been a particularly long time since she'd had a cock in her. Jack's was definitely the largest she'd had in her in a while, though, and she needed a couple of deep breaths before she was quite comfortable with the idea of him pulling it out of her and shoving it back in again, particularly when this was all underhis control rather than hers. When she was ready, though, she leaned forward and once again started to lick away at Tosh's cunt.
Tosh inhaled sharply, and Jack knew that was his signal to begin. He pulled out slowly, to help Suzie adjust more, and pushed in only slightly faster than he'd pulled out. As Suzie began to such up the salty juices that were flowing from Tosh's cunt as Tosh watched Jack fuck Suzie slowly and felt Suzie licking at her cunt, Jack took Suzie slowly and selfishly, with his hands gripping her hips tight enough to bruise and his slow thrusts into Suzie's tight cunt hitting her g-spot so hard that she moaned into Tosh.
Jack's breaths were slow, controlled, and every movement of his body seemed to be carefully planned to either maximize Suzie's pleasure or torture her mercilessly. Those nails in her hips hurt, but Suzie didn't dare say anything. Tosh was squirming beneath Suzie, pulling on her bonds with both her hands and her feet, being just slightly naughty because she knew that her Dom was too distracted to notice and punish her for it. Or maybe even if he had noticed, he didn't think it was worth it. She wasn't struggling to get away. She was struggling to struggle. To satisfy the urge and give in to what her body wanted her to do. She'd come soon, and since Suzie was not in control of this situation, Suzie was going to let her come soon. Suzie wouldn't slow down. Jack might consider that too bold. He might punish her for it, and Suzie knew damn well how strong Jack was and she did not want to feel his hand on her backside.
At the very least, she didn't want it badly enough to commit to it by displeasing him. Not yet.
Jack sped up his thrusts before Tosh came. He got fast and rough and dirty and he rode Suzie like he'd never wanted anything more in his life than to come hard and deep inside of her. Suzie's tongue didn't rest. She lapped away at Tosh's wet cunt and enjoyed the thick wetness that came back on her tongue every time.
Tosh let out a loud ″Oh!″ that was half a sigh and half a moan as she came, and Suzie stopped and raised her head to let out a few desperate, pleading whines of her own while Jack rode her vigorously until finally he hit her g-spot that last time and that did it. Suzie came hard, and she trembled around him, he came too.
They all three held still and panted for a minute. Suzie's thighs felt weak. She wasn't sure how much longer she could support her own body weight.
Just on time, Jack pried his nails out of Suzie's hips and sat down behind Tosh Suzie was just restrained enough to keep herself from hurting Tosh when she collapsed on top of Tosh, and they all three rested for a minute.
Then, Jack reached forward and pinched Suzie's arse cheek so hard that Suzie whimpered.
″I didn't tell you that you could rest,″ Jack said.
″I'm sorry.″ Suzie started to get back up, but Jack put his hand on the small of her back and pushed her back down. ″Stay, as long as you're there.″
He got off the desk and began to walk around it, untying Tosh's restraints. Tosh moved underneath Suzie as Jack freed her, rubbing her chaffed wrists and trying to get into a more comfortable position. Suzie tried to accommodate Tosh in this movement, until Jack untied Tosh's legs, and Tosh tried to pull them in closer to her, crowding the desk a little bit.
″May I get down now, Jack?″ Suzie asked.
″Yes,″ Jack said, so Suzie climbed off the desk. Her legs were steadier now, so she stood by the desk and waited for further instructions.
Jack tossed the ties into his desk chair. ″Tosh,″ Jack said sternly, ″You knew you were supposed to hold still.″
Tosh dropped her gaze.
″Not even an 'I tried'?″ Jack asked. He sighed before she had a chance to answer. ″Right. Because you didn't. So that's going to be ten swats.″
″Oh, Jack,″ Suzie said. ″I think that—″
″I didn't ask what you think,″ Jack said sharply. ″Ten for you too for back-talking.″
Suzie almost argued, but she stopped herself. She knew that would only make this worse, and really, ten wasn't bad. It was an excellent way to get a feel for what Jack was capable of without suffering. Just ten hits? Even if Jack hit them unreasonably hard, Suzie would be fine by the end of the night.
Jack climbed back up onto the desk, and Tosh neither objected nor struggled as Jack pulled her over his lap in a very calm, smooth motion, as if lifting her weight was the easiest thing in the world for him.
He gave Tosh a second to get comfortable, and then he hit her. Suzie jumped at the sound of the smack that echoed through the room, but Tosh barely flinched. Jack waited a long second, and then the second blow fell, just as hard and just as loud. The remaining eight fell in the same fashion, one hard blow followed by a brief pause, and then the next blow, and though Tosh didn't make a sound throughout it, Suzie watched as the skin on her arse turned from pale to pink, and Tosh started to squirm in Jack's lap to relieve her discomfort. Suzie stared at the whole thing, almost transfixed, and she was half surprised to find that, by the time Jack was finished, she was aroused all over again.
After the tenth blow, Jack rested his hand gently on Tosh's red arse for a second, and softly said ″Next time you're told not to struggle, don't. Make me believe that you're at least trying.″ He lifted his hand. ″Get up,″ he told Tosh. Then he looked at Suzie. ″Your turn. Come here.″
Suzie felt a jolt of pleasurable fear shoot down her legs and almost root her to the spot, but she overcame it before Jack got annoyed. She climbed back onto the desk and found herself climbing straight into Jack's arms. He half-lifted her and draped her over his lap.
He looked her body over for a second, and then he hit her. Suzie could tell by the volume and sharpness of the sound that he'd hit her with the same severity he'd hit Tosh with, but Suzie hadn't been prepared for it. Suzie let out an indignant grunt, and had scarcely recovered from the first blow when the second one fell, hard and loud and sharp on her bare backside. Blow after blow came down, and Suzie tried to be as brave as Tosh had and take them in silence, but Suzie had never had a Domme or a Dom nearly this strong this before, and she found that by Jack's tenth blow, she felt the way she generally expected to feel after the thirtieth blow. Her arse was throbbing and her eyes were watering, though not nearly enough to make any real tears fall. Just as he had done with Tosh, when Jack stopped spanking Suzie, he rested his hand right on her sore arse. That was a threat if Suzie had ever felt one.
With the blows stopped and Suzie's ears were no longer honed in on the sound of those smacks, Suzie realized that she was panting. ″Christ,″ Suzie said. She buried her head in her arms on the desk and took a few more deep breaths to gain her composure, before saying, ″You hit hard.″
″Is that a bad thing?″ Jack asked casually.
″That's...″ Suzie said. ″It is. And it also isn't.″
″Fair enough,″ Jack said. He lifted his hand. ″You can get up.″
Suzie did, very quickly. She winced at the feeling of her sore arse on the desk as she sat up, but soon she was standing again and it was over.
″You're going to have to learn, Suzie,″ Jack said. ″If we're ever going to do this again.″
Suzie looked over at him. ″You want to do this again?″
″Absolutely,″ Jack said. ″As long as you do.″
″Well...″ Suzie said. ″I... yes. I do.″ It was true. Suzie hadn't actually realized it until that second, but she did, desperately want to do this again. ″Not just again, but often... If you want to do it often, I mean?″
″How often?″ Jack said. ″I could do it full-time, just like I do for Tosh.″
″At work?″ Suzie asked.
Jack shrugged. ″It's just a suggestion. It isn't for everyone.″
″It does have its advantages, though,″ Tosh said. ″It makes the balancing act a lot easier.″
″I'll bet,″ Suzie said. She bit her lip and thought about it. ″Tosh and I, you can't call us your harem,″ Suzie said. ″Don't even think it.″
″Fine,″ Jack said. ″I wasn't planning on it, but I definitely won't now.″
″And I'm still going to have sex with other people,″ Suzie said. ″I'm still going to want to be dominant sometimes, so I'll have to take care of that without you two, and I have other relationships that I have no intention of breaking off.″
Jack smirked. ″Right. The lovely couple that left you naked at the hotel.″
″They're very nice people,″ Suzie said.
″Fine by me,″ Jack said. ″And if you and Tosh want to work something out, that's fine with me too. I just don't want to see you dominate her unless I specifically tell you to.″
″Deal,″ Suzie said.
″Start tomorrow?″ Jack asked.
″Yes,″ Suzie said. ″We can start tomorrow, but you have to start easy.″
″Deal.″
