Her chest a healthy rose color, he changed his focus to her pussy. It was in desperate need of attention. He spread her legs, placing one foot on either side of the table, and went to work.

  As he continued to flog her pussy, he could see her arousal coating the falls. Little sounds began from deep in her throat and he knew what he wanted. It had been years since he’d had sex in front of an audience, but in the moment he didn’t care. He needed to be buried deep inside her and he didn’t want to wait until they were in the privacy of his home.

  Dropping the flogger to the floor, he swiped a condom from the room’s ample supply and returned to stand at the end of the table. When Katrina designed the playrooms, she tried to think of everything. While the table Ali was lying on had a wood top, the base was metal and could be adjusted to whatever height the Dom preferred.

  Daniel grabbed hold of Ali’s legs and pulled her toward him, her ass sliding against the towels with ease. She let out a little yelp at the sudden movement, but otherwise didn’t react. He used the foot pedal to bring her to the height he wanted and placed her ankles on his shoulders.

  Popping the button on his jeans, he quickly pushed them out of the way and rolled on a condom. He gripped the base of his cock and guided it to her sex. Her pussy welcomed him as he slid inside, primed and ready for the beating it was about to take.

  He didn’t waste time. Playing with her like this, having had his hands on her for the last hour, he was ready to explode.

  The sound of their bodies slapping together as he drove into her filled the room. With every thrust of his hips, her body moved on the table. Ali held on to the sides, trying to push back against him, but unable to get the leverage she needed. That was okay. He had no problem doing all the work.

  Feeling the beginnings of his orgasm, he peeled one of her hands from the table and placed it between her legs. “Make yourself come.”

  Her fingers circled her clit, drawing gasps from her as he continued his relentless assault. She was close. He could tell. Even though they’d only been together like this a few times, he knew her body. He knew her.

  “Come for me,” he growled.

  As soon as the words left his mouth, he felt his own orgasm surge forward. Luckily, Ali was right there with him. The beautiful sounds of her climax filled the room, mingling with his.

  CHAPTER 16

  Ali’s body was buzzing in the best possible way.

  “Are you all right?” He reached up to run his thumb over her bottom lip.

  “Yes, Sir. I’m better than all right.”

  Daniel was still inside her, so she felt the vibrations as he chuckled at her reply. He bent to press a kiss to her lips and remove the scarf from over her eyes before easing out of her and going to dispose of the condom.

  Thanks to the dim light in the room, it didn’t take long for her eyes to adjust. She followed his movements as he refastened his jeans. He’d taken her fully clothed while she’d been spread out naked on the table.

  As realization hit, her gaze went to the large window. No one was standing there now, watching, but she knew they had been. Wax play was rare at the club given how messy it was. Most Doms understood the cleanup involved and didn’t want to mess with it, even if they left it to their submissives.

  Daniel, however, had removed the wax in a way that required the least amount of cleanup. Besides the towels, the rest of the room was clean.

  A hand cupped her face and she shifted her attention to the man in front of her. “Are you okay to stand?” he asked.

  “I think so, Sir.”

  She sat up slowly, just in case her equilibrium was off after their scene. Other than feeling as if every inch of her skin was alive, Ali didn’t notice any lingering effects.

  Daniel stood close as she slid her feet onto the floor, reaching a hand to steady her. That was good considering her legs buckled.

  His arm went around her waist, keeping her upright. She fisted his shirt and nuzzled her nose in the fabric. He smelled of sweat and sex.

  Lips pressed against the top of her head. “Do you need to sit down?”

  Ali shook her head. “I don’t think so, Sir. I think I’m okay.”

  He didn’t let her go right away and she was okay with that.

  Once he was confident she wasn’t going to fall, he helped her into a thin robe. It didn’t hide much, but at least he wasn’t going to make her walk downstairs naked.

  He handed her a bottle of water. “Drink that, and then you can head downstairs to shower.”

  She took the bottle from him and began to drink. He opened his own bottle and downed it in under ten seconds.

  While she drank her water, he turned off the warming pots so the wax could cool. Someone would be in tomorrow morning to clean the club from top to bottom. They would take care of the leftover wax in the pots.

  Daniel picked up her undergarments and handed them to her. She polished off the rest of her water and took them from him. He tilted her chin up so she could meet his gaze. “Shower and put the bra, panties, and stockings back on. Then, come find me on the first floor.”

  She swallowed but didn’t say anything.

  When she stood there, unmoving, he raised an eyebrow. “Problem?”

  Ali sucked in a breath. She could do this. “No, Sir.”

  “Good. Now go shower. I’ll be waiting for you downstairs.”

  Clutching the flimsy lingerie to her chest, Ali scrambled out of the room.

  No one said anything to her as she passed, but she did get a few looks. Some of them seemed happy, others confused, but all of them knowing. They knew she’d played with Daniel. And if they hadn’t witnessed the scene themselves, they’d heard about it.

  She breathed a sigh of relief when she entered the locker room, but it was short-lived. As she rounded the corner to the showers, Kim stood there, waiting for her.

  Ali dropped her bra, panties, and stockings on the shelf outside one of the shower stalls and pulled the curtain back. She turned the water on to warm, then faced her friend. “I guess you heard about my scene with Daniel.”

  She nodded but didn’t say anything. When Kim had revealed she’d slept with her boyfriend and Dom, Justin, Ali had been hurt given her friend had been crushing on her older brother’s best friend for well over a decade. And while Ali’s feelings for Daniel hadn’t been brewing for as long, that didn’t change things.

  “Are you mad?” Ali asked.

  “No.” Kim motioned toward the shower. “You’d better get in there.”

  She was right. Daniel wouldn’t be happy with her if she lingered.

  Stepping into the shower, she pulled the curtain closed and began to wash off the wax. “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you. These last couple of days have been crazy.”

  “I do hope you know I want all the details. And you’d better not leave anything out.”

  Ali laughed. “I promise.”

  “Lunch tomorrow at Georgio’s?”

  “Twelve o’clock.”

  The sound of heels clicking on the tile floor let her know Kim had left the room. She finished washing, removing the remnants of the wax from all the crevices of her body. It took longer than she thought it would but digging all the wax from her belly button had taken a while.

  She dried off and dressed in her bra, panties, and stockings. A quick look in the mirror told her what she’d already known. Her outfit didn’t cover much. A flower over each nipple and a grouping of similar flowers at her crotch were the only things keeping her goods from being on full display.

  Blowing out a breath, she threw her wet towel in the hamper and went in search of her Dom.

  Most of the scenes Daniel had been involved in over the last two years had been rather tame. At least, on his side. Even before he’d met Ali, when he had indulged in a sub’s mouth or pussy, it had never been like it was with her. When he was inside Ali, it was as if he couldn’t get deep enough. He wanted to consume her. For her to consume him. It scared the hell out of him, but not because he didn’t want it. Because he wanted it too much.

  It would be different if Ali didn’t seem to enjoy their rough play, but she did. The force of her climaxes was impossible to ignore. Daniel knew he was in deep—deeper than he’d ever meant to be with her.

  As he turned to go, Katrina was standing in the doorway. The look on her face said more than words ever could, but she said them anyway. “I hope you know what you’re doing.” Then, before he could respond, she’d walked away.

  Daniel didn’t miss the looks he received as he made his way down to the main floor of the club and could only imagine Ali had experienced the same. He glanced toward the women’s locker room, but he knew she wouldn’t be finished yet. It was too soon.

  Resuming his progress toward the seating area, he came face-to-face with Justin. “Sorry. I wasn’t watching where I was going.”

  “Looking for Ali?” Justin asked.

  “No. She’s showering. She’ll join me when she’s done.”

  The other Dom nodded. “I thought you two were just friends.”

  “Things change.”

  Again, Justin nodded. “Kim went to check on her.”

  Of course, Justin was worried about his own sub. Kim was Ali’s best friend. It was because of Ali Kim had joined Serpent’s Kiss. “I’m assuming Kim heard about our scene.”

  “Everyone heard about your scene. You two are the talk of the club tonight.”

  Brilliant.

  Justin laughed. “Come on. I’ll buy you a drink while we wait for our girls.”

  He followed Justin to the bar. Brandon had a shit-eating grin on his face. “What can I get you, gentlemen?”

  “I’ll take a beer,” Justin said.

  Brandon looked at Daniel.

  “Make it two.”

  The bartender nodded and turned to get their beers. He popped off the tops and set them in front of them within a matter of seconds.

  Justin took a pull from his beer and Daniel did the same. They sat at the bar, drinking their beers and waiting on their subs to emerge from the locker room.

  Kim appeared first. She scanned the crowd until she located Justin. She was wearing a light pink dress that barely covered her ass. As she approached, Daniel could see the outline of her hard nipples pressing against the fabric of her top. She walked straight to her Dom.

  Justin set his beer on the bar, spread his legs, and pulled her against him. One of his hands snaked under her skirt to cup her ass while the other cupped the back of her head. “Did you talk to Ali?”

  “Yes, Sir. She’s taking a shower.” Her last word came out in little gasp and Daniel realized the other Dom’s hand had moved lower.

  “I think you owe me something,” Justin said.

  “Yes, Sir.”

  He moved his hands away and Kim dropped to her knees. She reached for the button on his jeans but looked at him before continuing. A sub going down on their Dom in the club wasn’t unusual, but he’d never seen Kim and Justin have sex of any kind with an audience.

  Kim’s mouth closed over Justin’s cock when Daniel saw Ali walked out. He resisted the urge to stand and go to her. She looked uncomfortable standing in her underwear, but she would get used to it. He’d make sure of that.

  Her eyes locked on his and she made her way through the crowd. He didn’t miss her reaction to seeing Kim on her knees sucking Justin off, but she recovered quickly.

  Daniel held his hand out to her, bringing her close to his side. “Would you like a drink?”

  “Yes, please.”

  He signaled to Brandon and tilted his head toward Ali. The bartender nodded and soon appeared with a Sprite.

  Daniel moved Ali to stand between his legs, her back to his front, and handed her the drink. He brushed her hair away from her neck as she took a sip. “Would you like to stay and watch?”

  He wasn’t sure how she’d feel watching Kim and Justin, but he had no issues watching if she didn’t. It was obvious to him from the exchange that the blowjob was payment for allowing Kim to go check on Ali. While it may not be a punishment, Justin was making her work for it. Every time she tried to speed up, he’d slow her down.

  “No, Sir.”

  Sliding off his stool, Daniel picked up his beer. “Thanks for the drink,” he said to Justin.

  The other Dom lifted his chin but didn’t break his concentration as he guided his submissive’s mouth over his erection.

  Instead of heading toward the seating area where their friends were no doubt eagerly waiting, Daniel found a quiet area in the corner. It was behind the bar on the far side of the dance area. Only one other couple was there, no doubt decompressing from a scene.

  The other couple didn’t spare them a glance as Daniel sat down on one of the couches and lowered Ali onto his lap. He placed his beer on the small table, then took her drink and set it down as well.

  Stretching out, he pulled her against him, resting her head on his shoulder. “Did you have any trouble removing the rest of the wax?”

  “I had to dig a little in my belly button, but that was the hardest part.”

  The feel of her against him in this outfit had him growing hard again, which was insane. He wasn’t twenty anymore, but sometimes she made him feel like he was. “How are your nipples and pussy? Are you sore anywhere?”

  “My nipples and pussy are tender, Sir, but in a good way.”

  The front of her body had a slight redness to it from where the hot wax had been. He ran his hands over her midsection, remembering how the multicolored wax had dripped over her skin. How could he want her again this soon?

  To try and distract himself, he changed the direction of the conversation. “You didn’t tell Kim you’d asked me to be your Dom.”

  “We haven’t texted much over the last couple of days with everything going on at work and the fundraiser.” Ali sighed. “I should have told her. Then she wouldn’t have had to suck Justin in the middle of the club.”

  “She made her choice.”

  Ali didn’t say anything for a long time and he let her have her quiet. They watched as people danced, grinding against one another to the music. The beat moved through his blood as his hands caressed the woman molding against him.

  “We need to talk about our scene. Was there anything I did you didn’t like?” he asked.

  She took her time answering, but he was grateful she was taking his question seriously. “I’ve never had wax on my pussy like that before, but I liked it.”

  “You marked on your list you’ve had experience with it before.”

  “I have, but it wasn’t the same.” She paused and turned to look up at him. “You used a lot more wax.”

  Ali held his gaze and he felt the pull between them. What was it about this woman that had him all tight up in knots, wanting her even though he knew he shouldn’t?

  He lowered his mouth to hers, coaxing her lips to open for him as he slid his tongue inside. She tasted sweet from the pop she’d been drinking. “We should talk more about our scene.”

  “There was nothing you did I didn’t like, Sir.” She twisted in his arms, tangling her fingers in his hair, and their lips came together again.

  Eventually, he broke the kiss, cupping her face in his hands. Her lips were swollen, and she was breathing as hard as he was. As tempting as it was to stay hidden in the corner with her for the rest of the evening, they needed to get the next part of the evening over with. “Are you ready to face our friends?”

  The light in her eyes dimmed a little. She knew what was coming. Not that they wouldn’t approve, but there would be questions.

  Ali nodded and reluctantly eased herself from his lap. He stood and laced his hand with hers as they headed toward their group seated on the other side of the room. They were all there. Beth and Drew. Justin and Kim, Nicole and Jeff. And even Alexander and Grace.

  Kim saw them first, but it didn’t take long for the rest of the group to notice their approach. Daniel ignored them for the most part and sat on the couch next to Kim and Justin, adjusting Ali on his lap.

  No one said anything for several minutes. He was about to break the silence when Alexander spoke up. “It’s about fuckin’ time.”

  All their friends laughed.

  “Next round of drinks is on me,” Nicole said. “What’s everyone having?”

  Her submissive, Jeff, took their drink orders and headed toward the bar.

  “So how long have you two been hiding this from all of us?” Beth asked.

  “Oh, I think this is new,” Drew said.

  Beth played with the hair at the nape of his neck as she smirked at Daniel and Ali. “You might be right.”

  Ali looked at him and he nodded, letting her know it was okay to share. He’d much rather have her give her version of their arrangement since he was still trying to figure it out himself. “It happened this week.”

  A pleased look crossed Drew’s face.

  Grace leaned forward. “I’m happy for you both. Sir’s right. It’s been a long time coming.”

  Daniel sat and listened to his friends talk, asking questions here and there, but mostly sharing how pleased they were he and Ali had finally ‘taken the plunge.’ Justin’s words. All the time Daniel had thought he’d hidden his feelings for Ali behind the veil of friendship, he’d apparently been hiding nothing.

  At eleven o’clock, Daniel instructed Ali to go change. Beth and Drew had left an hour ago, as had Alexander and Grace. Nicole and Jeff had ventured upstairs, leaving him, Ali, Justin, and Kim alone in the seating area.

  Justin patted a hand on Kim’s hip. “Go with Ali and change. I want to get you home.”

  Both women headed toward the locker room, leaving Daniel and Justin alone.

  “I know you care about her,” Justin said out of the blue. “I’m not sure why you dragged your feet for two years, but I’m sure you had your reasons. I just hope whatever they were, you’ve resolved them. If you hurt her, it will upset my girl and I don’t like to see my girl upset.”
