Prologue
Rae
“I’m sure it’ll be fine.” Famous last words, but there was no way Rae was going to admit to Domi that she was anxious about being the only single woman on the Jack-and-Jill wedding party trip to the Hideaway Resort. Her bestie was the bride, she was the maid of honor, and it was her job to make sure Domi had a great time during her bachelorette party, not spend it worrying about Rae. Especially not worrying about Rae’s single status. “We’re not doing group stuff together every day, right? And at night, I can go find a Dom to have fun with.”
Hideaway Resort was a special destination for Kinksters—rather than a club, it was an entire island where they could indulge in their kinky sides at any time of day or night without risking judgment or misunderstandings. It had all the amenities of an all-inclusive resort, but like a kink club, it also had Doms and submissives on staff who were happy to scene with visitors. No sexual contact was required, but it was allowed. She could easily find a Dom to scene with—possibly a fellow guest at the resort or one of the Doms working there.
Just because she’d be yearning for a very specific Dom, who was also going to be on the trip, meant nothing.
Master Brian, who just happened to be the groom’s best man, was not for her.
He was a Daddy Dom. She was a sub who refused to call anyone but her father ‘Daddy.’
Neither of them was willing to compromise. It didn’t matter how attracted they were to each other; that was a barrier that couldn’t be overcome unless one of them was willing to give.
Rae was not that person.
Neither was Brian, apparently.
So, they were going to be the only singles on a bachelor/bachelorette trip to a kinky island resort, and they were definitely not going to be scening with each other. They’d have to find other partners. And she’d have to work on not being jealous when she had no right to be.
It would have been easier if she and Damian hadn’t broken up not that long ago and she’d been able to bring him with her, but it was for the best. They hadn’t wanted the same things, either, and she hadn’t been as unhappy to see him go as she should have been, which told her how deep her feelings had gone—or not gone.
“We don’t have to spend any time doing group activities if you don’t want to,” Domi insisted, which was the topic that had spurred this particular conversation. “I’ll talk to Mitch about it.”
“Absolutely not.” Rae shook her head, scowling at her bestie. “The whole point of this was that you and Mitch wanted to be able to do a Jack-and-Jill shower so you could enjoy being at the resort together. Not doing things separately just because you think I can’t get along with Brian for a week.”
“It’s not that you guys can’t get along. It’s just that I don’t want you to be unhappy while we’re there.” Reaching across the kitchen table, Domi put her hand over Rae’s, her short curls bouncing around her face as she leaned forward. “I want you to have fun.”
Rae rolled her eyes to cover up the sudden surge of emotion. She and Domi had been friends for such a long time, and it was moments like this that it really hit her hard. Because of that, she was even more determined that Domi had a good time—and to prove that she was just fine being single.
“Stop worrying about me. It’s your wedding and your party, and it’s literally my job as your maid of honor to make sure you’re the one having a good time. Not the other way around.”
“Is this your way of telling me you want me to be a bridezilla?” Domi snickered, giving Rae’s hand a squeeze before pulling back so she could take a sip of her tea.
“You couldn’t be a bridezilla if you tried.” Not that Domi was indecisive, but she made it a point to take literally everything under consideration that could possibly affect anyone in her wedding party or coming to her wedding. Which was probably why she was so intent on making sure Rae was going to be okay at Hideaway. It was the one possible obstacle left. “This is my way of telling you that you’re worrying about nothing. Everything’s going to be fine, and we’re going to have an amazing trip.”
She pushed the printed itinerary back across to Domi, who blew out a short breath. She finally looked like she might be convinced, though.
“Well, if you’re sure.”
“I’m sure,” Rae said firmly. “It was very sweet of you to feel like you needed to run it by me beforehand but also unnecessary. The week is going to be about you and Mitch and finding a hot Dom to do filthy, filthy things to me.”
That made Domi laugh and relax, the rest of the fight going out of her. Thank goodness.
Rae was speaking the truth, though. Domi had been worried about the idea of doing a whole big trip for the bachelor/bachelorette party, but everyone had reassured her and Mitch that they were thrilled to have the excuse to visit the resort. Almost everyone in their friend group had something to celebrate. Avery and Nick had just gotten engaged, Iris and Law had gotten engaged recently, and it wouldn’t surprise her to find out that Kincaid and Zach were headed that way… although things had been a little tense between them lately. But they seemed to feel that a trip to reconnect was exactly what they needed.
Technically, Nick and Law weren’t groomsmen, but since they were connected to Avery and Iris, Domi’s bridesmaids, they’d been invited and had jumped on the chance. What kinky couple wouldn’t want to get away to a kinky island resort with their fiancée?
Brian and Rae were there to make sure everything went smoothly for Mitch and Domi. That was her main goal for the week. She didn’t have anything to celebrate, so she was going to make sure their celebration was everything they wanted it to be. It had not been a stressful wedding planning experience so far, and Rae was determined to make sure it remained that way.
“We’re going to have an amazing time,” she said, flipping her long braids back over her shoulder. “The itinerary looks great. The resort looks great. I am so excited to go.”
The best part? It was the truth. Brian notwithstanding, she couldn’t wait to see what Hideaway Resort had to offer. If she was lucky, there would be the opportunity for a little vacation fling that would make her forget about him altogether.
