My Deepest Desire (Hidden Desires) (7 page)

Vincent walks over to her,
kissing her on the bruise then her lips he says, “I can respect that.”

Naira hugs him; Vincent
leans against the counter as he spins Naira around to lean against him.  She tilts her head looking at Zander, “And how do you feel about that, Can you respect that?”

Zander doesn’t speak for a little while;
Naira can picture the cogs in his head spinning.  Finally he says, “I will do my best to be straight with you.”

Naira
can tell there is something he isn’t saying but she just nods her head, “Okay.”  She smiles, “I know a great way we can all explore this trifecta we’re forming.”

The brothers look at each other
then at Naira intrigued.  Vincent asks, “What’s your idea Beautiful?’

With a doe like bat of her eyes she replies, “I think we should go to Eclipse tomorrow.”

They both look at her and smile.  Naira looks at them coquettishly, “That is if you both are available.”

The brothers’ nod their heads in agreement, Zander adds, “That can definitely be arranged.”

Naira says, “Good, we can take Leah with us.”

Vincent
frowns, “Speaking of Leah, why didn’t you want her to know Dante owns Eclipse or that it’s a BDSM club?”

“
Leah and Dante have history.  If I tell her Eclipse is a BDSM club she’s going to know it’s Dante’s and she may not go.  She needs the release, I just need to find someone for her to play with while she’s there.”

Vincent replies, “If you think that’s for the best, fine.  Now for the big question, will you give me a tour of your house?”

Naira playfully rolls her eyes, “I suppose.”

She takes both men on a tour of the house pointing out not only the different rooms but also art work and other collectibles she owns
, giving them more insight to who she is.

They are like kids in a candy store when she shows them the game room.  She pushes a button and an entertainment system with a 60 inch T.V. and various game consoles are revealed.  The living room rivals a small movie theater with surround sound.  After checking out all the rooms in the house,
Naira shows them the backyard.  The pool sits at the far end across from the back door.  Teal and cream wicker sofas, loungers and arm chairs are spread about in little clusters that form a half moon around a large metal fire pit.  Against a wall to the right separating the house from the side of a hill is a large handmade barbecue grill with a gazebo.  Fifteen feet away from the grill is a bar with its own gazebo.  Lastly in-between the grill and the seating area is the entrance to a private basketball court.

Vincent inquires, “
Naira your house is so beautiful, why don’t you ever invite people over?”

Naira
catches herself before she shrugs her shoulders, “Various reasons.  I don’t want people inquiring on how expensive my house is or wondering how I can afford everything I have.  Plus, I guess I figure if I keep it to myself no one can ever ruin it for me.”

Zander asks, “What happened to make you so guarded?”

She smiles sadly, “That is not a story I’m ready to tell.”

Zander looks as if he wants to push the subject but Vincent shakes his head warning his brother not to.

Naira says, “I have to get ready for work.”

She
heads to her bedroom and they listen for her door to close.  Vincent looks at his brother angrily, “You better tell her what’s going on because if she finds out she’s going to be pissed.”

Zander runs his hand through his hair, “I can’t.  You know I can’t.”

“What I know is if you don’t tell her and she finds out she’ll see it as a betrayal and we can both say good bye to her.  If I lose her because of you, we’re going to have a problem.  I have the day off so I will spend it with her.”

Vincent goes to the kitchen to finish his co
ffee leaving his brother to look out the back door.

Naira is sitting in Le’Bistro waiting for Leah to meet her for lunch.  She’s beginning to get concerned because Leah is twenty minutes late and Leah is never late.  She looks up from the menu and smiles as Leah struts into the restaurant.

Naira
says, “I already ordered our usual.  What happened I was starting to worry?” 

“Why do you always order then keep looking at the menu?” 

“Because unlike your little size 10 behind, my size 16 requires more work.  I order my salad and then look at the things that I would like to eat. This way when I go food shopping I can buy the things from the other dishes I can eat and make my own rendition of it.”

The ladies discuss weight loss until the waiter brings their salads and leaves. 
Naira asks, “Now back to my original question, why were you late?”  

Leah sighs, “Remember that associate I was telling you about, Javier, he’s still making me want to pull my hair out.” 

Naira nods, “Yeah. I saw him talking to you at Nicole’s party.  Jasmine isn’t helping; I thought she usually runs interference for you”? 

“She does, well did.” 

“Did, what happened?” 

“She caught me and Javier kissing last night.” 

Trying not to laugh Naira asks, “What?” 

“I don’t want to talk about it.” 

“Don’t want to talk about it my tail feathers, you better tell me something.” 

Leah rolls her eyes, “Jasmine, Javier and I were working late last night.  Jas left and I was packing up to leave when I got into an argument with Javier over my”, she makes quotes with her fingers, “control issues.  He said I’m demanding, I informed him that wanting something done right is not being demanding.  Javier said his work is always right I just nitpick so I told him if he wants to wear big man pants he should act like it.  That’s when he kissed me.” 

“And what did you do?” 

“He is a 6 feet tall Adonis what do you think I did?  I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him back.  That’s when Jasmine walked in to get her cell phone, said
oh shit then turned and left.”

“What happened today when you went in?” 

“Besides him announcing that he is leaving to start a firm with a friend of his, nothing.” 

“Aww Le, I’m sorry to hear that.  Why don’t you try talking to him?” 

“It’s no big deal.  I said he was fine but I didn’t say I wanted to date him.  I don’t even think I’m his type.  Every girl I’ve seen him with looks like a model.  I think he kissed me just so he wouldn’t choke me.” 

“Oh please, any man would be lucky to be with you.  I think you need new glasses or something” 

Leah dismisses Naira’s comment, “Enough about me, what I want to know is how your and Zander’s dinner date went last night.  Don’t think I didn’t notice that mark you tried to cover up or Vincent trying to hide in the corner.  What’s going on?”

Naira
shakes her head, “We never made it to dinner.  Short version, that jackass Jared tried to rob me last night…”

“What!”

Naira waves her hand, “Yeah, I smacked him around but he accidently hit me as he slapped the floor hence the mark but, I’m no worse for the wear.”

“What the hell was he thinking?”

“I’m not sure.  He said I got him fired because I called about that incident the last time he was in the shop.  He also said I turned Angel against him like that was ever going to happen again.  In any event Zander showed up just before the police and scared the crap out of him then the police arrested him.  It was a huge scene.”

“Why didn’t you call me?  I would have come to stay with you last night.”

“I was doped up.  Zander took me to the hospital and Vincent patched me up.  He also gave me some meds that stopped the pain and knocked me out.  Zander stayed with me last night.  When I woke up Vincent was there too.”

“Wow, you let not one but two men in your house?”

“Technically they let themselves in but, yes.”

“Well good for them.”

Changing the subject Naira asks, “Do you have any plans tomorrow night?”

“No, why?

Me and the guys are going to the club I was telling you about, Eclipse.  Do you want to join us?”

“I don’t know, in this case four might be a crowd.”

“No it won’t.  We want you to come.”

Naira
pouts and Leah tries not to laugh, “Fine I’ll come.”

“Great!  Meet me at my house at 7:00pm so we can get ready and leave from there.”

“Okay.”

They finish their lunch, as they head towards the door Leah waves Vincent
over to them.  When he walks over she thanks him for taking care of Naira.  Vincent says it was his pleasure before escorting them out of the restaurant.

Vincent takes Naira to her boutique but she is unable to get anything done with him so-called guarding her.  That compounded with Lisa and Sarah treating her like an invalid causes Naira to pack up her stuff to go home.  Vincent tells Naira he wants to stop at his apartment to pick up some clothes.  She states that she is capable of taken care of herself. Although Vincent says he knows she can, he keeping driving to his place. 

He
leaves Naira in his living room as he packs.  The apartment clearly depicts how often Vincent and Zander aren’t there.  She scans the room noticing a couch facing a wall mounted T.V. and a bunch of unpacked boxes.  There also a table with two chairs opposite each other.  Naira has to smile knowing most men would have the set up so they could watch sports which Vincent and Zander do like. However, she knows the main reason is so they can watch their cartoons in the morning.  The brothers have to watch their old school cartoons.  She picks up the T.V. remote control and pushes the power button.  The sight of the Snorks confirms Naira’s thought and she can only laugh as she turns off the television.  She remembers how fiercely protective they were of her last night then how cute they looked sitting in her kitchen watching the Smurfs.  A little while later Vincent comes into the living room to get Naira so they can leave.

Riding back to her house
Naira asks, “Don’t you think two bags is a lot?”

“Not really.  Zander and I prefer to where our own clothes.”

“That being so, one of those bags looks big enough to hold pajamas and a change of clothes for each of you.”

“They’re also big enough to hold a few changes of clothes for us.”

“A few changes of clothes, how long to you two plan to stay?”

Hearing the panic in her voice Vincent replies, “Long enough to know you’re safe.  As for pajamas, there won’t be a need for them with us fucking you every chance we get.”

He turns his head to hide the lust Naira sparks when she shivers and crosses her legs.  Looking at him she says, “Fair warning, I don’t like to be teased.  I prefer to get right to it and I can get very mean if I don’t get what I want.”

Vincent looks at her with a smirk, “Is that with all things?”

“No, only when it comes to sex.”

Stopping at a red light Vincent just studies
Naira. He sees no reason to tell her that she has already been teased numerous times while he pleased her when he chose to.

When they pull up in front of
Naira’s house Zander’s car is already parked in her driveway.  They open the front door to the sight of Zander putting out a fire in the sink and Cheeky sitting on one of the island chairs watching.  Naira shakes her head as she and Vincent walk over to the kitchen, “You’ve been here one day and you’re trying to burn my house down and give my cat smoke inhalation.”

“It’s not too bad it was only the dish towel.”  Zander pulls
Naira to him and kisses her until everything from her head to her toes tingle.

Ignoring the moisture
in her underwear she says, “Don’t think that kiss is going to get you off the hook.  There is no shame in only being able to make breakfast.”

Zander lifts the tops of two pots on the stove; the aroma of chili
and rice makes Naira moan in hunger.  Zander and Vincent look at her, desire shooting through their veins.  Naira turns her head from the chili just in time to dodge Zander’s ravenous lunge.

“Feed me then you can have your way with me.”

Vincent and Zander look at each other deciding whether they should enjoy her anyway when Naira’s stomach growls.  Zander concedes, “Alright baby, let’s eat first”.

Naira
sets the patio table so the three of them can eat outside. They talk about their day and Naira tries to convince them that she doesn’t need protection.  After dinner she gives the guys garment bags.  They look at them and Vincent asks, “Beautiful what are these?”

“Those are your costumes for tomorrow.”

Zander asks, “Why do we need costumes?”

Smiling
Naira replies, “Because the theme is Arabian Nights.  I’m going to take a shower.”

Naira
leaves the two of them sitting with their mouths hanging open. 

A while later Vincent begins loading the dishes in the dishwasher, when
Naira doesn’t return Zander goes to check on her.  As soon as he enters her bedroom, he sees the terrace doors open.  Walking closer he sees Naira curled up on a Spartan wicker daybed with Cheeky curled up next to her.  At the same time Zander walks into the bedroom and over to where Vincent is standing.

Watching
Naira sleep Vincent pats his brother on the back saying, “I guess we’re sleeping out here tonight.”

Zander climbs over
Naira in order to lie behind her and under the light sheet covering her body.  He pulls her into the curve of his body, she grumbles as he settles her against his front.  Cheeky meows upset at being disturbed, flicks her tail as she moves to the foot of the bed to lie back down.  Vincent lies in front of Naira, smiling when she lifts her left leg over his body to get more comfortable.  They spend the night cuddled together out on the terrace.

****

By the next afternoon Naira is ready to choke Vincent and Zander.  Although they both had to go in to work they spent the day calling to make sure she was alright.  Naira called Zander to threaten his life the third time she saw a police car slowly pass by the boutique not to mention Nicole had been in twice to buy dresses for events she claimed she had forgotten about.  Between that and all the regulars in the neighborhood coming by to make sure Naira was okay, she had to confine herself to the office so she could actually get work done.

By the time
Naira gets home she has just enough time to jump in the shower before Leah gets there.  Naira lets her in then goes back to her room to get dress, telling Leah to follow her.  As they walk into the room Naira’s phone beeps that she has a message.  When she looks at it she sees a text from Zander saying he and Vincent will meet them at Eclipse.  Naira pulls the two costumes out of her closet and gives one to Leah.  Its silvery blue made of silk and chiffon. 

Leah asks, “What’s this?” 

“This is your costume.  The theme is Arabian Nights.” 

“I’m not putting this on.  I’m going to be naked.” 

“Le you are not going to be naked.” 

Naira
goes to her dresser and takes out a matching baby blue bra and boyshorts with iridescent sparkles on them.  She gives Leah the lingerie along with a little box.  She says, “Here I bought these for you to wear with it.” 

Leah asks, “Chic have you lost your damn mind!  I’m not going out in layered underwear and that’s all this is”. 

“Le you will look so sexy in this.  I’m tell you, you’re gonna kill it.” 

Leah pleadingly says, “Ara, I can’t wear this.” 

Knowing her friend’s insecurity Naira softly pats Leah’s hand, “Do you trust me?”

Taking a calming breath Leah replies, “Yes.”

“I made it especially for you.  You know if I made it it’s going to fit and it’s gonna look awesome, so put it on.  If you don’t like it we’ll renegotiate.  Now open the box.” 

Leah opens the box to see two nipple shields in a pattern of stars. 
Naira waits for Leah’s response.  She knows Leah has wanted nipple jewelry but wouldn’t buy them herself.  Leah looks up at Naira, “Thanks Ara”. 

“You’re welcome. Now will you please get dressed?” 

Leah sighs, “Fine.” 

She begins to get dressed while
Naira takes out the jewelry she wants to wear.  After they are dressed and Naira has done both their make-up, they head to the club.

The ladies arrive at Eclipse at 9 o’clock.  Leah knows something is wrong as soon as they walk into the club.  She looks at
Naira, “Please tell me you did not bring me to Dante’s club.” 

“
Okay.”

Leah growls, “I going to kill you.”

Naira replies, “I know and that’s okay.  Didn’t you tell me to let the past go?  It’s time for you to try again.”

Naira
takes Leah to a couch in the corner of the main room to remind her of the club protocols.  She also explains, just in case anyone mentions it that she helped Dante do demonstrations that only involved technique.

At first Leah doesn’t say anything then she asks,
“What kind of demonstrations?”

”When he’s showing a new Dom h
ow to use some equipment, I am sometimes his test subject. Usually he uses one of the subs who work at the club, but if there isn’t one available I’ll fill in.  I also bartend here sometimes.”

When Leah nods her head Naira continues, “T
he club is separated into sections, each for a different environment.  The hall to the left is lined with fantasy playrooms.  It’s great for exhibitionist and voyeurs because there are large windows in the doors so you can see in. The basement houses all the big equipment.  This room is for cool downs and people who just want to relax.  Maybe they just want to dance or have sex without doing anything elaborate.  I like to think the club provides a safe environment for people who want to explore their sexuality.  It’s members only and you can bring up to two guests with the understanding that should your guests do something stupid it can cost you your membership.  There are DMs throughout the club who make sure everything is done according to club rules”.  

Naira also remind
s Leah to use red as the club safe word if she needs to.  Naira is telling Leah a few more things about Eclipse when she stops speaking mid-sentence and stares at two men by the bar.  Leah looks too, curious to what has caught Naira’s attention and all she can say is, “Damn”.

Naira
smiles “Hello nurse!”

The sight of Vincent in the hunter green and gold Moroccan shirt and pants she made for him sends chills through her. 
His eyes lock with Naira’s and he is instantly overwhelmed by desire.  Unlike Leah’s simple but flattering genie like top and harem pants, Naira’s costume is in the style of a belly dancer.   Her purple halter top cups her breast more like a corset, lifting them up and pushing them out. Gold coins line the edging of the front and sides; a purple chiffon skirt caresses her hips then flows down her legs stopping just above her ankles and her gold bell anklets.  The gold chain that runs from her neck down her chest in-between her bosom then down to her belly chain enhances the beauty of the outfit.  What he finds most enchanting is the headpiece with a veil covering her face and revealing only her eyes.

As the men reach the women Vincent helps
Naira stand then kisses her breathless before whispering, “You look gorgeous.  If I didn’t owe you for falling asleep last night I’d bend you over the couch arm and fuck you until your knees buckle.” 

A wave of heat shoots through her body and she moans.  Leah clears her throat and crosses her legs squeezing her
thighs together.  Vincent says hello to Leah while still staring at Naira.  When the guy standing next to him also clears his throat, Vincent turns his attention to the man. While pulling Naira closer to him he says, “Ladies this is Master J.” 

Although his mask and the dark cover his features,
Naira makes sure not to look him in the eyes as she replies, “It’s nice to see you again Master J.” 

Leah follows
Naira’s lead by saying, “Hello Master J.” 

He greets both ladies as he reaches his hand out to Leah.  She takes it and steps toward him.  He whispers something in her ear and Leah nods her response.  He says something else to her and Leah says, “Yes”. 

Master J says to the group, “Leah has agreed to sub for me tonight, we shall take our leave.” 

Naira
gets ready to speak when Master J adds, “Naira, Zander has made me aware that Leah is in essence new to the scene and I know she is like a sister to you.  I promise no harm will come to her.”  He smiles, “I would hate to incur your wrath.”

Returning his smile
Naira replies, “Thank you Master J.”

He and Leah walk towards the dungeon entry, they pause at the steps then Master J leads Leah down the hall with the themed rooms. 

Vincent takes Naira’s hand and leads her to the dance floor.  Naira asks, “Where is Zander?”

“He had to work late but he’ll be here after.”

As they slowly dance Vincent gently strokes his fingertips across her back, hip and sides allowing Naira’s desire to simmer.  During the second song he adds light kisses and nibbles along her ear and neck.  Naira’s nipples harden as Vincent slips his leg in-between Naira’s so that his thigh pushes against her clit.  Naira moans her breath brushing his neck; she gently bites his collar bone when he tightens his grip on her waist. 
By the third song Naira's whole body is tingling causing a cyclone of sensations so strong she can feel it in the roots of her hair.  She whimpers, "Vincent, babe please, I can't take anymore."
 

He licks her ear, “Yes you can Beautiful.  You can hold on a little longer.  By the end of the song
Naira can feel her heart beat in her clit and her panties are soaked.
Vincent takes her to a table and chair near the dance floor.  He sits down pulling her on to his lap. He pushes her top down just enough for her nipples to pop out; it lifts her breasts like they’re on a platter.
