Deathless Discipline (6 page)
“What happened, exactly?”
She looked embarrassed. “I just lost track of where the end of the stage was. I guess I was a little tipsy.”
“Kate, may I speak with you for a second?” Dom asked, beckoning her into his office. He left the door to the lounge open and leaned against his desk, folding his arms across his chest. “Listen. I think you had too much to drink tonight. I understand that you might need to get your buzz on to enhance your performance, but you need to be in control when you go on my stage. You should know your own limits.”
Kate looked stricken. “I'm sorry—I didn't think it would be a big deal. It was just a couple of shots.”
“Well it was obviously too many and that makes it a big deal. When you're working for me, I need you to be consistent. Okay?”
Too late, he realized she was going to cry.
“I understand. I'm sorry.” She held her eyes wide so the tears wouldn't spill.
He hooked his hand around her waist and pulled her a step closer to him. “It's alright,” he said gently. “The spanking's over.”
Then he paused. He detected the fresh scent of her arousal.
Interesting.
That was the second time she'd been turned on by the word
spanking
. He tested it out. “Unless you need me to bend you over my desk and
spank
you for real?” He waggled his eyebrows for effect.
Yep, that definitely lit her up.
“Be careful, Kate, he spanks hard,” Stella called in from where she was picking up in the lounge. She gave him a wink, obviously smelling it too. Too intrigued to let a moment like this pass, he stood up from where he'd been perched on the desktop and pulled her gently in to bend her over it, moving slowly to give her time to process what was going to happen. Very slowly, he pulled her tiny shorts and panties halfway down her thighs.
He turned to wink back at Stella as she slipped quietly out the door, mouthing the words, “Have fun!”
He ran his hand along Kate's beautiful little butt, which was as firm as a ripe peach and baby soft. He squeezed it a little and murmured approvingly. Kate didn't seem to be breathing at all, but her pussy was glistening with moisture. He drew his hand back and brought it sharply down on one of her cheeks.
She jumped and exclaimed, “Ahh!”
He rubbed the offended cheek a few times before he struck her other cheek. She whimpered. He rubbed again. Then he brought his hand down for several quick hard slaps, holding her in place with his left hand on her low back. “Ow! Uh! Oh!” She was trying to get away from him now and he figured she'd had enough. He dipped his fingers between her legs and was not at all surprised to find she was beyond wet. And he was hard. She moaned as he moved his fingers along her slickness. “Please?” her voice was a tiny squeak.
“How do you want it?” he said, his voice low and gravelly, his fangs long. She tried to turn around and he released her so that she could. She let her shorts and panties drop to the floor and slid back on the desk, spreading her legs and drawing her knees up. The sight of her spread open to him like that was more than he could take. He normally wasn't a fan of the neatly trimmed bush look that was so popular these days, but on her it was the most erotic thing he had ever seen. He growled and pulled off his pants, grabbing a condom from a box on his desk.
It was better than he could have imagined. Her pussy was so swollen with desire that she felt as tight as a virgin when he slid into her. His body temperature ran low and she was on fire—her heat engulfed him, heating his blood, making him half lose his mind with hunger. Within minutes, they had knocked everything off of the top of his desk and her torso was laid back fully with her ankles hanging up over his shoulders. He pumped into her, watching her face as it moved through pleasure into fierce desire and finally the flicker of panic that precedes a female orgasm.
“Oh yes, oh yes,
oh yes
!” Kate called out as she came, her head thrown back and her eyes rolling.
Her orgasm spurred his, and he came hard, groaning and gripping her well-toned thighs. Keeping their hips connected, he pulled her up to sit and tilted her head back to expose her vein. “May I?” His voice was hoarse with desire.
“Yessss,” she said breathily. He struck quickly and savored the taste of her—warm, delicious, erotic, with the tang of alcohol. He came again and she squeezed her legs around his waist, drawing him in tighter. She was smiling. When he finished, he sealed the little holes with the blood-clotting and healing properties of his saliva and kissed her nape.
“Thank you,” he whispered in her ear.
“Mmmm.”
Of course Fox picked that moment to barge in, as locks were completely ineffectual at keeping vampires out. His fangs shot out and he hissed. “What the
fuck
are you doing to her?”
He pulled out of Kate and held up his hands as Kate jumped off the desk in search of her panties and shorts. “It was consensual,” he said quickly, pulling his own pants back up. A vampire with his fangs out is nothing to mess with—even if he is your friend. “You can ask her.”
Kate nodded. “Absolutely.”
“You took advantage of her.” The fangs had retracted a little but Fox was still pissed, and Dom couldn't blame him. He would feel the same way if he knew someone hijacked Kate while she was in an obvious state of intoxication.
Fortunately, Kate spoke up. “Do I look like I didn't like it? It's totally cool,” she said firmly.
Fox looked doubtfully from one to another, but his fangs were back where they belonged. “I came up to make sure you were okay,” he mumbled.
Kate rubbed her head where it had been bleeding. “Yeah, just a cut and bruise, I think. No real harm done.”
“You want to go to the after-party at Andrew's?”
“Sure. I'll meet you downstairs,” she said.
Fox left, throwing one last doubtful look over his shoulder and Dom reached into his pocket for his cash. He paid almost everyone under the table at No Return. It saved him money and they all appreciated it. “Here's your pay for tonight. I ought to dock it because you didn't finish the last set, but…” he stroked and then gently slapped her firm little butt, “I feel like we're even.”
She flushed, clearly not sure how to take that.
He ran his finger over the bump on her forehead, feeling like it was absolutely tragic that her perfect face would be shadowed with a bruise. Something about her made him feel protective. “Be careful tonight, okay?”
“I will,” she promised.
“All right. Good night, Kate,” he said, giving her soft lips a quick kiss.
“Okay, yeah. Bye.” She seemed a little flustered. Sobering up, maybe.
When she had left he sat down in his chair and closed his eyes.
Oh hell.
That was a mistake. He had enjoyed every moment of it, but from start to finish—on every level—it had been a colossal mistake.
