After lunch, Kaden appeared in the living room with some rope and a knowing smile. “On the table, love. Now we can really show Seth the ropes.”
She groaned at the pun but smiled and complied.
Kaden removed the vibrator and quickly lashed her to the table. Seth took plenty of pictures and worked the video camera. He had to admit he enjoyed the view.
When she was firmly bound, Kaden stood behind her and gently stroked her ass. “This is a game I like to call ‘Torture the Slave.’” He leaned over and gently flicked her clit with his tongue. She jumped, moaned, and wiggled her ass as much as she could against the ropes.
Kaden smiled. “I think we can invent a new version of ‘Beat the Clock.’ Seth, why don’t you sit on the edge of the couch?” Kaden pushed the table across the floor so Leah’s mouth was perfectly positioned. Seth immediately caught on. He dropped his shorts before sitting in front of her.
Without any prompting, she opened her mouth, trying to reach his now stiff member.
Kaden laughed and swatted her ass again. “Not so fast, love. You need to hear the rules first. You need to put your best effort into making Sir come. If he comes before you do, I stop what I’m doing. So if you want to come, you’d damn well better do it. Then, Sir and I will switch positions. And again, you’d better not hold back. If you still don’t come before I do, you’ll have to sit here for a little while with the vibrator in and think about why you’re being such a stubborn thing. If you can come before one of us does, and you only have to come once, not for each of us, I’ll let you up.”
Seth struggled, and failed, to contain his laughter. “That doesn’t sound much like punishment.”
Kaden swatted her ass again. “It’s not. She wins either way, don’t you?”
She wiggled her ass at him. “Yes, Master!”
“Wait a minute,” Seth said. “What if she holds back?”
“You haven’t seen all the toys yet,” Kaden said. He leaned over her. “If you hold back, you will get strapped down in bed, and I’ll put not only the biggest butt plug in your ass but I’ll also put the big blue vibrator in you. And you won’t be allowed up until you’ve given us at least ten. Even if you have to lie there all night.”
Seth thought back to his first trip with them to the club and the woman he’d seen strapped to the frame. He’d since learned that was called “forced orgasm” torture. Well, torture depending on how you were looking at it.
Leah moaned and shivered. He strongly suspected it wasn’t from fear.
“Again, dude, I mean, I know I don’t know as much as you do, but that doesn’t sound like torture to me.”
Kaden winked. “Just because she enjoys it doesn’t mean it’s not torture. All right, let’s begin.” He sat at the end of the table and licked her clit.
She moaned and eagerly swallowed Seth’s cock.
No, she wasn’t holding back. If she was, he didn’t care. It was damn good. Seth suspected Kaden was holding back, however, because a few times she moaned in frustration as he stopped or slowed what he was doing.
It only took her ten minutes to get Seth off. When he recovered he carefully moved out of the way and swapped places with Kaden.
Kaden kissed her, then got into position. “Make Me proud, love.”
She went down on him. For a minute, Seth almost forgot what he was supposed to be doing on his end as he watched.
He was closer to understanding now. It was the sexiest thing in the world, watching her do that.
Seth took his time, enjoying the sounds she made as he flicked his tongue across her clit. Taking his cue from Kaden, he backed off several times, not quite bringing her release.
He lifted his head to look down her back at Kaden. When their eyes met, Kaden nodded.
Seth gently sucked on her clit, and she moaned. Her hips twisted as far as they could against the ropes, and Kaden closed his eyes.
“That’s it, sweetheart,” he murmured. “You know what to do.”
When Seth sensed she’d had enough he sat back and gently caressed her hips and thighs, ran his lips up and down her flesh.
Kaden grunted as he came, and they all sat there quietly for a moment. “Very good,” Kaden whispered, stroking her hair. “That was wonderful.”
Seth helped Kaden free her, and she curled up on the couch with them, her head in Kaden’s lap, her feet in Seth’s. In a few minutes, she’d fallen asleep.
Seth smiled. “We wore her out,” he whispered.
Kaden nodded. “Yep.” He looked sad as he stroked her hair. “I was hoping to.”
“Why?”
He shrugged but didn’t look at Seth. “She needs to relax, keep her mind off things.”
Kaden didn’t need to specify what “things” he meant.
Seth eventually extricated himself and put up the “toys” they’d used for their activities. He went outside to work on the electrical system. He’d sat down with Kaden and figured out, based on his friend’s design and newly added lights and accessories, what he’d need to add to the existing circuits.
Kaden wanted a complete walk-through winter wonderland, including a setup for the backyard, where they’d hold some of their dinners and parties if the weather was good enough. Some of the areas would be run off extension cords, but some would require buried wiring and dedicated GFI outlets because of their distance from the house.
A few hours later, Seth was outside marking off sections with stakes and string when Leah walked outside, a glass of iced tea in hand. She wore a long T-shirt.
Seth gratefully accepted the tea. “Thanks, sweetie.”
He couldn’t quite interpret the look on her face. “What’s going on?” he asked.
She shook her head, then a smile broke through and she hugged him. “Thank you.”
He kissed the top of her head and left his free arm around her shoulders as he surveyed his progress. “I should be thanking you, babe.”
“No. I mean…everything.” She took a deep breath as her smile faded. “I’ll understand if at the end of a year you’ll want to—”
“Oh, no you don’t. You think you’re getting away from me that easy, think again.”
Her smile returned. “Really?”
He nodded. “Yeah. Really.”
She hugged him, surprising him with her strength. “Thank you,” she whispered. “I love you.”
“I love you, too, babe.” He closed his eyes and inhaled her scent. She’d taken a shower not too long before, and her damp hair smelled freshly shampooed. “Just don’t be upset if I don’t say it a lot in front of him, okay?” he softly said. “I’m not comfortable with that.”
“Okay.”
“And don’t be upset when I don’t spend every night with you two. I’m not going anywhere, but it doesn’t feel right taking time away from him. I want you to focus on him. I’m all right with that.”
“Okay.”
He kissed her again and gently patted her behind. “All right, let me get back to work. Clark Griswold in there has really planned a doozy for this year, and I need to make sure I’ve calculated everything right so we’re not blowing breakers all the time.”
She returned to the house. Seth tried to focus and couldn’t. He’d managed to put before, after, and the mental heartbeat—
kaden’sdying
—out of his mind for a while.
And now it was all back.
He sat in the shade and looked over the yard. He knew, no matter what, he would set up the display again next year. Hopefully in honor of Kaden but most likely in memory of him. And every year after that.
How much longer did they have?
Thanksgiving was just a few weeks away. Was this the last? The last Halloween? Would the three of them celebrate Easter together and watch Fourth of July fireworks in Lemon Bay?
