I wait for the first hit for a few seconds, but it doesn’t come, and realization dawns.

Use your words, Naomi.

“Yes. Please,” I tell him.

“Good job. Keep it up,” he replies, and I can almost hear the smug smirk in his voice.

The first hit of the flogger startles me, but it doesn’t hurt. It’s more like a rippling series of dull thwacks to my ass cheeks. Alvaro is skillful at the placement of each strike, making sure not to hit the same spot twice in a row. Each hit comes one after the other with very little pause in between, and it begins to lull me into a dreamlike state.

When the hits cease, I feel Alvaro and Bex both come up close on either side of me. Alvaro’s hand goes to my slightly reddened ass, and he rubs in circles where heat from his lashes builds. Bex’s fingers are running through my hair, making me slump harder against the cross.

The combination of their touches is lighting my skin on fire with need, and for the first time in a long time, there’s a craving for something more.

“How was that?” Alvaro asks.

All I can manage in my blissful state is to turn to him and smile, my mind still drifting somewhere nearby.

“Do you want more? Harder? Or different?”

I think about it for a moment like I would any multiple-choice question, my brow scrunching in concentration as I work through the options.

Do I want more? Yes.

Harder? Different? Also, yes.

My whole body is relaxed in a way I haven’t felt in years. A contented peace wraps itself around me as I stand there cuffed to the cross, flanked on either side by a god and his goddess.

I finally settle on my decision. “D. All of the above.” I giggle at my own inside joke.

“Mmmm. Adventurous girl.” Alvaro hums before stepping around to the table to put down the flogger and pick out my next toy. “All of the above it is then.”

Fingers continue to run through my hair, and my attention turns back to Bex, who’s looking at me with gorgeous hazel-blue eyes.

Seeing her this closely brings out all of her unique features. I take in the smattering of sun freckles that dot the bridge of her nose and the dimples that appear when she smiles back at me. I soak in her presence and the smile she bestows upon me.

My body tries to lean into her, and when my weight shifts a little too much in her direction, she catches me around the waist.

Her hands are like a brand on my skin, stoking the flame of need that’s building in my body.

“You’re so pretty.” I giggle.

“You’re quite beautiful yourself,” she replies softly.

My mind is hazy and my filter is completely gone. “I would very much like to kiss you, I think.”

“You think?” She smiles that smile that has me melting for her.

“Yeah. I think so.”

“Well then, we might need to make that happen later.”

“Not now?”

“Not now.” She glances over her shoulder to check in with Alvaro. “You have other matters to attend to.”

A large palm skims its way to the small of my back, and I know that Alvaro has returned. His presence is like a weighted blanket, grounding and comforting me.

“I’m going to give you a few more hits, Naomi,” Alvaro says, his hand making small circles on my lower back the whole time. “But harder this time. Speak up if you want to stop.”
