Out of the Storm (11 page)

Chapter Nine

Kyle didn’t remember a time he’d been as angry with a club member.  One of the subs, a brunette named Mary, had acted remorseful, but only after they’d separated the women to interview them so it hadn’t really earned her any points with either he or Kent.  But the blonde had been a flaming bitch from the beginning.  Kelly Mason would be walking out of Prairie Winds for the last time if Kyle had his way.  Both Doms had quickly agreed to step away from the whole mess because they had only met the women earlier this evening.  Kyle and Kent had sent both men home for the evening after cautioning them to be more careful whom they hooked-up with in the future.  But the truth was both women had made it through the club’s rigorous screening so he didn’t feel they honestly had much room to criticize. 

Kelly had refused to admit her mistake and had actually threatened to call the police because Noelle had broken one of her fake fingernails.  He and Kent had laughed out loud and asked her how she thought that was going to work out for her when the deputies found out the “nail breaking felon” was one of the county prosecutors.  Honestly he was surprised the woman had made it through the membership interview without showing her true colors because she really was a first class bitch. 

After long minutes of questioning her, she’d finally conceded that she had merely pretended to be a sub in order to meet the club’s owner.  Seems her friends had mentioned he and Kent shared and she was intrigued and wanted to—in her words “hook up with a couple of good looking rich boys for a threesome.”  Micah had slipped in through the small door at the back of the room and Kyle saw the fury flash in his eyes when he heard her words. 

Kyle nodded to Micah, “Get her stuff and escort her off the property.  If she doesn’t have a ride, call her a taxi and have one of the other guys stay with her until she has been picked up. She doesn’t go
anywhere
in this club without an escort.  She’s done.”  When he turned back to her, he narrowed his eyes, “It didn’t have to be this way, you could have taken your punishment and returned, but your membership is terminated.  We will return a pro-rated portion of your membership fee even though we don’t have to.  We’re only doing it because I don’t want to run the risk of ever having to deal with you again.  And good luck getting into another club because we’re on the network with almost every club in the country and we’ll be sending this story out far and wide, I assure you.”

As Kelly stomped from the room in a huff, Kyle shook his head.  Micah turned to him and said, “Hold up on the next interview until I get back” and then walked out.  Kyle found the remark interesting and wondered why he had an interest in the young woman sitting in the next room crying.  Kyle had been watching her on one of the monitors and she hadn’t stopped crying since she’d been led into the room. 

Turning to Kent, he asked, “What do you think that is about?”

“No clue.  But from what I gathered, those two women hadn’t been known to pal around together until tonight.  If I were betting, I’d say we have a case of follow the leader.  The question is, what are we gonna do with the follower? I’m tempted to give her a second chance and I’m not even sure why.”

Kyle agreed and didn’t know why either.  Maybe Micah could shed some light on the situation.  They waited until Micah returned before asking the obvious question.  “What’s your interest in Mary Dillon?”

Micah didn’t back down, just crossed his arms over his chest and smiled.  “I have been watching her for a while and almost stepped in when she teamed up with Hagatha this evening.  I wish I had, would have probably saved a lot of trouble and sure would have been better for Tobi.  Anyway, I think a public punishment and a short suspension might be the best plan.  Mary is a follower, I’ve never seen her be anything but polite to everyone and my guess is, she was only trying to fit in with her new friend.  I’m not saying it excuses her behavior, but I think it might explain it.  I also think she might be what Ash and Dex are looking for.  She is a bit of a pain slut, but seems embarrassed by that.”

“You handle the details, because we want to get Tobi upstairs and settled.”  Kyle tapped the security monitor that covered the reception desk, “Our little subbie is already done.”  When Kent leaned over and saw Tobi sleeping in the chair his soft curses filled the air.

“I will.  If there is a chance to pull this one out, I’d like to try, but ultimately it depends on how this interview goes.  I think Ash and Dex are interested, but I’m sure they’ll agree that she needs to set this right first.”  Ash Moore and Dex Raines were two of the most honest men Kyle had ever known and he had complete faith they would make certain Mary atoned for this sin.  Chuckling to himself, he wondered if she had any clue just how painful that atonement was likely to be.  Both men were strict disciplinarians as Dominants even though it wasn’t always apparent when subs first met them. And Micah was even more strict and already seemed to have taken a liking to Tobi, so he’d likely be looking for a bit of retribution when he set up the scene.  Kyle shook his head at the whole mess.  He’d seen more than one sub safe-word out because she hadn’t known the pretty-boy Doms, as Ash and Dex were known, were such hard asses, and he wondered how long the sobbing woman in the next room would last between them.   

The interview with Mary hadn’t taken long, Micah had been dead on in his assessment of the woman.  Kyle hoped she’d be more careful whom she chose to spend time with from now on.  Maybe a couple of Doms with a strong hand was what the woman needed and if that was the case, Ash and Dex might well have found a sub.  It was ironic because Kyle and Kent had recently discussed the fact they felt several of their friends were waiting to find a permanent sub.  They had known Micah was waiting until his buddy was officially discharged next month because the men had often shared women, and they knew Micah didn’t want to start without Jax. 

They watched as Micah cuffed Mary’s hands behind her back and blindfolded her before he started leading her out of their office.  Their friend had been the epitome of professional and gruff during her interview but as he was leaving the room, he looked over at them and winked.  After the door closed, Kent looked over and grinned.  “She isn’t going to sit comfortably for a week at least, but I’m sure she’ll get one hell of an orgasm outta the deal in the end.  Let’s wrap up this paperwork and go get our little sub.  I don’t feel like we’re taking particularly good care of her.  Those two drilled her insecurities and now we’ve left her out there sleeping in a damned chair like an orphan for far too long.” 

“Agreed, but we need to tie up this paperwork and get the word out about Kelly.”  They spent the next ten minutes working together and tying things up quickly.  Walking out into the reception area, Kyle felt like someone had hit him in the chest with a sledgehammer when he looked down at Tobi.  She was so beautiful she took his breath away.  Her long lashes fanned out over her cheeks but didn’t hide the dark circles under her eyes that were evidence of how totally exhausted she was.  She made reference to the fact she didn’t live in a particularly safe neighborhood and he wondered how well she’d been sleeping.  She was curled on her side with her hands folded under her cheek, and she looked like a sleeping angel surrounded by all those blonde waves of silk.  He was grateful that Tank and Regi had covered her with one of the soft subbie blankets because he was sure she’d been flashing everyone in the short dress they’d made her wear. 

Kyle thanked Tank and Regi for all they’d done for Tobi, and as he’d expected them to, they both shrugged him off.  “Micah will be overseeing the administration of Mary’s punishment.  After that, she is suspended for thirty days so make a note in her file.”  He’d seen them both flinch and knew they were thinking the punishment Mary was about to receive wasn’t going to be a walk in the park.  “Regi, if it’s still raining when you close up, please stay in one of the guest cottages.  We don’t want you driving in this weather.”  She smiled at him and nodded as he and Kent moved toward Tobi.

Tank surprised them by brushing her hair off her face before they could pick her up.  “She is a sweetheart.  Hell, before she fell asleep she told me she even likes football.  God, she’s perfect, just like Regi.”  Kyle laughed because Regi had rolled her eyes at the big man standing next to her, but she had also leaned over and hugged him.  Damn, they really needed to get to work on figuring out how to market Tank’s charm.

Kent bent down, scooped their sleeping beauty up into his arms, and was rewarded when her soft breath brushed against his neck.  He knew she hadn’t even opened her eyes, but she had sighed his name and he’d leaned down and kissed her forehead.  “Yes, sweetness.  We’re going to take you upstairs now.  Go back to sleep, baby.”  Kent hadn’t missed the significance of the fact she had instinctively known he and Kyle apart, and it pleased him more than it probably should have. 

They cut through a series of back hallways to avoid the main room because he didn’t want Tobi to wake up and see the scene he knew was being played out there.  Micah would have made an announcement to the members so anyone who didn’t want to watch could move to another part of the club.  This was one of the parts of owning a BDSM club that neither he nor his brother liked.  They were happy to have an excuse to avoid supervising this punishment, and they damned well didn’t want Tobi exposed to it.  If she became their sub, they would be very careful what she was allowed to see in the club.  Hell, they and all the other male staff members were careful what Regi saw, even if they didn’t let the little hellion know they were protecting her.  

After Kyle had pressed in the code, the elevator’s doors slid shut and he looked over at Kent and Tobi.  “Hello, kitten.  Are you enjoying your chariot ride in Kent’s arms?”  Kent couldn’t see her face but it suddenly felt very warm against his neck so he’d bet she was blushing again. 
Damn, she just may prove to be the most precious gift mom has ever given us.

Walking into the large master bath, Kent sat Tobi on the counter and saw her wince. 
Christ, I can’t believe we left that fucking plug in her for so long.  Fucking hell, I’m not sure we deserve her trust.
“I’m sorry, sweetness, we didn’t intend for you to wear that plug for so long.”  Kent heard Kyle’s curse from behind him and chuckled because it was obvious his brother had forgotten that particular detail as well. 

Tobi looked at him with something between curiosity and concern before inquiring, “What happened to those two women and the men they were supposed to be with?  They didn’t get in too much trouble did they?  I’ve dealt with their kind for a long time, so I am used to it.  Honestly, I probably wouldn’t have even mentioned it to you.”  Kent had to fight back his sudden urge to shake her. 
Wouldn’t have mentioned it?  What the hell?

Thank heavens Kyle stepped forward and unwrapped the blanket from around her before untying the halter and lifting the dress over her head.  “That would have been a huge mistake, kitten.  We want to know if anything is bothering you, and that would certainly include being the subject of vindictive words from women who are jealous of our interest in you.”  He smiled at her slight shiver at being exposed and leaned down and moved her dress aside before circling first one and the other nipple with his tongue.  He hummed in satisfaction as he blew small puffs of air over the wet peaks, causing them to draw up even tighter.  “Actually we’re going to require that kind of ‘full disclosure’ if you get my drift, kitten.” Kyle laid her down on the counter.  “Pull your legs up and apart.”

Kent started the water in the shower and then stepped back to help her get into position.  At his nod, Kyle sealed his lips over Tobi’s.  Kent knew the kiss was a distraction and quickly took advantage of the opportunity to pull the plug from her tender rear hole and set it aside to clean later.  “Come on, sweetness, the warm water will be good for your sore muscles.  Sleeping in that chair couldn’t have been comfortable for you.”

Tobi’s soft moans of delight as the warm water slid over her tired muscles were quickly making both Kent and Kyle hard.  And when her dainty little hands slid up their bare chests they both groaned.  “You promised…you aren’t going to back out because of those two women are you?”  Kent was pleased that she’d given up finding out what had taken place in regards to those two, but he doubted the subject would stay dead and buried indefinitely. 

“No way, baby.  You are much too fuckable to ignore.  But let us take care of you a bit first, alright?  Not everything went like we’d planned tonight and a part of our need to care for you is as much for our own benefit as it is for you—so indulge us a bit, okay?”  Kent felt her muscles relaxing beneath his hands as he kneaded her shoulders.  He moved her toward the glass wall and pressed her against it.  Her gasp when her nipples made contact with the cool glass made him smile.  “What’s the matter, sweetness?”

“Nothing, just a bit of a surprise.  But your hands are working magic on my back.  I’m worried about melting into a puddle of goo.  Oh God!”  Kent smiled at her reaction when he’d pressed himself against her backside.  He’d pressed his rigid length into the crack of her ass as he slid his hand around in front of her.  He used one arm to wrap around her waist and anchor her to his chest while the other hand slid between the slick folds of her sex.  Sliding his fingers through her heat as the warm water pulsed around them was beyond erotic.  Tobi didn’t seem to have any inkling of how truly sensual she was and that genuineness was a magnet to everyone who met her. 

“How does that feel, sweetness?  Tell me what it feels like when I tease your clit.”

The words, in her whispered breath, stole his control.  “Please, Sir, I need you.”  Kent forgot that he’d demanded she tell him how it felt.  Hell, he probably wouldn’t have been able to tell you his own name.  His entire body was drowning in his desperate desire to sink deep inside her.  Kyle handed him a small packet and Kent groaned in relief.  Tearing the package apart using his teeth, Kent quickly sheathed himself and pushed her legs apart with his thigh.  “Arch your back just a bit and let me in.  I wanted to wait but I can’t—I want you too desperately.”  Her instant compliance was all the permission he needed and he slid in fast and deep.  Leaning forward so his mouth was pressed against her ear, Kent just breathed her in for several seconds.  The walls of her vagina were flexing and rippling around him and he needed several seconds for them both to adjust.  “Fuck me.  You are so tight.  And your body is surrounding me with a heat that is nearly scorching in its intensity, sweetness.  You have unraveled every bit of my control.”
