The Red Door (The Door Series Book 1) (8 page)

I heard him take a deep breath and sigh out loud while looking up at the ceiling.

“Being this is Adam and Holly, and you will be spending a lot of time with them, and they consider you family, you will have a lot of leeway where they are concerned. Saying that, you still need to get permission because if they were someone else—anyone else—you would be getting punished right now. Here in this club you’re not Ari. I cannot stress this enough. You think Mitch wants to be out there working when he could be in your arms. No. And he doesn’t want to walk in from working, or anywhere, and see you in someone else’s arms, even if it is Adam. I know this because I don’t want you in anyone else’s arms. You need to act reserved with Adam and Holly until you are out of the club. I thought I explained the rules well enough before we left the office.”

“You did. I’m sorry, I was excited and forgot. I’ll do better though. I promise. I don’t want you mad at me or Mitch mad.”

“I know, Angel, and I am not mad. I know there will be screw ups. I’m glad that the first is with Adam. When you agreed to be our sub, you agreed to the rules of the club. Just like when we agreed to be your Doms, we agreed to train you, and in doing that, taking it easy on you until you understood the rules. But after what happened in the office, both Mitch and I are feeling possessive of you. Not only do we want you to follow the rules so you don’t get punished, but we want to make sure no one else gets any pleasure from watching you get punished either.”

Oh, I hadn’t thought of that. I guess in a club like this people would like to watch someone get punished even if they weren’t the ones doing the punishing. Why had I not thought of that before? Would someone cause me to do something, to get me punished, just so they could watch? I looked around and hoped not, but I knew that more than likely there were people vindictive enough to do that.

“We want you all to ourselves. If you were not sore we would have Adam and a couple others take over, and you would be chained up in the bed upstairs. You understand?”

“Yes, Sir. Thank you, Sir. The bed does sound nice,” I smirked. “May I speak with Master Adam and Holly? Please.” I was looking at Alex when I was caught around the waist and pulled back against a hard chest.

“You, My Ari, are perfect. And Alex is right, I hate seeing you in Adam’s arms, but he is also wrong. You do need to be punished. How will you ever learn if you don’t suffer the consequences from your choices?” I turned and looked up at Mitch and didn’t know what to say. I was so excited that I had not one, but two Doms, and it was all because it was Adam that I didn’t think about it. And it was so innocent that I didn’t feel I deserved to be punished, but he was right too. I was not supposed to be touching or talking to anyone without their permission.

“Yes, Sir.” Mitch took my face and leaned forward and kissed me. It started out slow and small, but quickly went further. I was breathing hard by the time he broke it off.

“Let’s see, you broke two very important rules that are there for your protection. Rules that help establish trust between Doms and their subs. I think you need two punishments. I’ll decide one and let Alex decide one. Fair, Alex?”

“Yes, Mitch that sounds more than fair. You can go first.” Alex didn’t sound like he wanted to punish me at all. Punishment. I didn’t know if I wanted to be punished, and I didn’t think I deserved to be beat for hugging a guy I considered family. I also didn’t understand why I was more turned on by the word and the tone it was said in. Scared and angry I could understand, but not desire, and definitely not hot moaning desire. Which was exactly what I did, moan.

“My pet.” Mitch leaned forward and rubbed his nose along the side of mine as he read my reaction. “You were a little pale there for a second but now are moaning. Let me guess, you a little scared and excited?” he whispered as he kissed down to the side of my neck and slid his hands down my arms to my bottom pulling me against him. “Don’t worry, the punishments will only be as severe as you deserve. And except for this slip, you have made both Alex and me happy tonight. Plus, let me let you in on a little secret.” He kissed down my neck and chest, slipping his tongue under my dress as he worked his way over and up to the other side of my neck and up to my ear. “You have two very possessive Doms. Yes, that means you have two men you have to serve and please, which you have already done remarkably well. You also have two who will protect you from everything, even each other. So not only do we never want to cross a line that will make you want to leave us, but you have both of us to make sure the other is kept in line. Does that help with the fear?” He traced the shell of my ear with his tongue as he waited for an answer.

“Yes, Sir,” I said as I tilted my head to give him more access.

“Good, Aurora, you’ll take your punishment now.” He leaned back to look me in the eyes.

“Yes, Sir.” It was said as an order, but I still felt compelled to respond.

“I want you to take off your panties. You will remove your panties in front of me and hand them over to me every time you come into the club. You can never wear them in here again, unless Alex or I say otherwise. I want you open to me anytime I want to touch you.”

“But, Sir...” He shook his head and held out his hand.

“Now, Ari. This is part of the trust. You must trust us to protect you even when certain parts of you are more vulnerable.”

“Sir—”

“Now or I’ll choose a different punishment. This one is a fairly easy one. One that will serve as a constant reminder when you are here.” His words sounded astonished that I wouldn’t immediately obey.

“Yes, Sir.” I reached into my purse and pulled out my pink panties. “Do I need to put them on then take them off again?” I did this never taking my eyes away from Mitch’s brown ones. What could I say, I was an only child and not use to being told what to do. Therefore, I was a smartass. I could hear a small group behind me laughing, so I knew without looking our circle had grown, but could still hear Alex’s laugh included. I also knew I had earned another punishment. It didn’t bother me now that I felt I deserved it. I almost looked forward to it. Mitch grabbed my panties and smelled them in front of everyone.

“Mmm, peaches. Would you like that for a nickname? For everyone in the club to call you that? I can introduce you to my friends here as Peaches. Having the reminder that everyone here who calls you that will do it knowing what you taste and smell like. How does that sound? Does it turn you on and make you wet or does having a guy you do not know call you Peaches while looking you over make you feel used? Degraded? Peaches isn’t a bad name; some might think it represents your golden hair. There are a few subs here who have nicknames. At another club I own, most all the subs go by a nickname. Here the two main ones you will hear are Juicy and Squirt. I know you can guess what those mean.”

“Juicy because she’s extremely wet.” I watched as he tipped his head once. “And Squirt, I guess is not because she’s small.”

“No. Squirt is a gusher, but she’s embarrassed by it. She did something her Master did not like, and she was punished. He tied her down spread eagle and made her cum in a huge spraying stream. He said from now on she will be called Squirt in the club. Juicy has a story, too, but I’ll save that for another time. How do you like Peaches?”

“I don’t.”

“Hmm. And what if I passed your panties around for everyone here to smell them?”

“Please, no.” I felt my eyes water.

“I think, My Ari, you are going to test me regularly and cause more punishments on yourself than I would ever want to give.” He shook his head and handed over the panties to Alex who put them in his pocket. He sat down on a bar stool and pulled one of my legs over his knee. This brought my dress up to barely covering my bottom. Mitch trailed his hand up my leg till his fingers slipped between my folds. Rubbing casually up and down, but barely grazing my clit.

“For those of you joining us, this young sub belongs to both Alex and me. You’ll be introduced to her properly when we decide. She’s new on the scene and will be introduced to everything slowly. I had planned to go easy on her, but since she’s being so cheeky, I have changed my mind. Ari, turn around and keep your eyes on Alex.” I dropped my leg and turned around to look up into Alex’s hooded eyes. Mitch reached down and pulled my right leg up over his knee again, but this time he pulled the bottom of my dress up to my waist exposing me to our growing group. I looked around to see how big it had gotten when Mitch’s hand slapped the inside of my right thigh.

“Ahh.”

“Do not take your eyes off of Alex. If you do it again I’ll turn you over and give you ten more. Am I understood?”

“Yes, Sir.” I looked back to Alex to see he had my panties out holding them up to his nose while he stared at my bared pussy.

“Good.”

Mitch once again slipped his fingers between my folds. I was sore down there but not too bad. I had also cleaned off the small amount of blood that was smeared there earlier and hoped that I had indeed wiped it all. When his lips touched my neck, I relaxed against him but kept my eyes opened, watching Alex. Mitch’s finger circled my clit, and I had to hang on to his thighs or I wouldn’t be able to balance on one leg. It was already shaking bad. He slipped a finger inside me and kept his thumb on my clit while he kissed my neck. I could feel myself tightening. Then his other hand slipped up the back of my thigh, raising the back of my dress, and caressed between my butt cheeks, touching that foreign hole. Slowly dragging my wetness from my pussy to that area. Circling it and applying small amounts of pressure, I was drawn up and tight sitting on the edge of my orgasm. He bit down hard on my neck and pressed his finger in my tight hole as he did this. I screamed as my orgasm hit. Wiggling, trying to get somewhere, needing to stop the pain and get more at the same time. Mitch pulled me tighter to him with his legs as his fingers fucked me over and over, prolonging my orgasm. My eyes had glassed over, and I had started pushing myself down on them wanting more when Mitch removed his fingers. He held me against his chest. I could hear voices around us that I didn’t know. I turned back around and buried myself in his chest and stood still, safe in my Mitch cocoon.

“Do you know why I did that now instead of waiting?” Mitch whispered in my ear.

“Because I’m a smartass and disrespected you in front of everyone?”

“Yes, you did. It’s my job to make sure everyone shows you respect and for you to disrespect me in front of all those I protect you from, well this little punishment should have been a lot worse. It could be preparing subs for a scene or being collared and led around naked the rest of the night treated as a piranha. I have made subs clean the club bathrooms before. It could be a lot of things. Remember when I said that you have two Doms to protect you? That means even from you. After you stand up and apologize out loud, you need to go to Alex and see what he wants to do about your disregard to your personal welfare. Come on, you can do this.” He kissed my forehead and rubbed my back up and down while I gathered my courage.

I raised my head and looked back into Mitch’s soft brown eyes. I could see the concern and hope there. I felt bad. I had treated Mitch like he was nobody to me. It was unbelievable, but this man I had only met a few hours before was more important than any other man had been in my life beside my father. Maybe I lacked a good male role model or male attention in general, but I appreciated what he was doing for me. I liked the fact that he wanted a relationship with me instead of any of these other girls. I knew I could be in trouble if I fell for him, but it was hard not to entertain those ideas when he looked at me like that. His disappointed words had caused my eyes to water. I took a breath and reached inside for the strength to say what needed to be said.

“I’m sorry, Sir. I know I can’t take it back, but I promise not to disrespect you again.” I felt a couple of tears fall down but managed to keep the rest at bay. Mitch reached up and wiped them off my cheeks, holding my face still.

“This day certainly has been overwhelming for you, hasn’t it, my pet. Go to Alex. The sooner he’s done with you the sooner we can get you to my room.” I turned to go to Alex, and he was right there. He grabbed my face and immediately devoured my mouth. Then used his tongue to lick the tear paths on my face and down my neck. When he came to the spot where Mitch bit me he rose up and looked at it carefully. I knew there was a mark because I could feel it bruising. He reached up and rubbed it while looking at my face. Then he gave the spot another look before giving Mitch a look I could not decipher.

“I’m going to hold onto my punishment for now. I don’t feel you could take anymore, tonight.” He was talking to me, but looking at Mitch. He stared at him for a minute before looking back at me. “I am going to walk you to Mitch’s room so you can clean up and go to bed. You’re to stay there the rest of the night. You cannot leave without being escorted, and since I’ll not be able to, and Mitch will be busy with the club for a while, you are to stay there.” I turned and looked at Mitch. He leaned forward and kissed my forehead.

“I’ll hurry and get done. No clothes in bed, Ari.” He walked off toward some doors past the sitting areas. Alex took my hand and escorted me away without saying bye to anyone. He led me to another hallway then through a locked door that hid some stairs to the second floor.

“This is the way to the private quarters here. There are two more offices, the club’s security room, and two private apartments. One is Mitch’s room and the other is Robert’s, Mitch’s father. He never uses it anymore, though, so Mitch is trying to decide what to do with it. More than likely it’ll be used by one of the other Masters in the club.” He opened the door to a studio apartment. Alex stopped at the door and grabbed my shoulders, rubbing his thumbs up and down the top of my arms. I looked into his eyes and could see that they were a brighter green. Almost glossy. His voice was husky when he spoke.

“Remember, don’t leave this room. Only Mitch and I have the keys so no one else will be coming in. There is food in the fridge if you’re hungry. You can also watch TV or read. Go to bed when you’re sleepy. Goodnight, my Angel.” He leaned forward and gave me a chaste kiss on the lips. Then he was gone. The sound of the door locking from the outside made it final. It was then I realized what had happened. Alex was punishing me. He sent me to my room without my new favorite toys.
