The lack of vibration was now the torture. Not that she wanted to orgasm at the dinner table in the midst of all their friends, who had no idea what was going on, but… Dammit. He was fucking with her head as much as he was with her body. She was aching for sensation, for stimulation, and there was nothing.

“So, what did you all get up to today?” Mitch asked, looking around and including Domi in his glance. “How was the spa?”

“What, you mean Domi didn’t already fill you in?” Iris teased. The unspoken conclusion was that Mitch and Domi had better things to do than talk about how their day had gone once they’d been reunited. Which Rae was sure was exactly what had happened.

“No, I was too busy filling her.” Mitch winked at Iris as everyone cracked up, then at the waitress who had appeared beside their table and was shaking her head with amusement. They all got their drink orders in, as well as a few appetizers, before they returned to talking about what they’d done with their day.

It sounded like the guys had had a lot of fun, though Rae was glad she’d gotten to spend her morning relaxing rather than running around. She definitely would not have been as calm through the situation at her villa if she hadn’t had the spa time beforehand. Sadly, the calm did not carry her through the vibrator, though her body was slowly starting to return to normal…

As if Brian knew the exact moment she was starting to relax again during the conversation, he hit the button in his pocket. He wasn’t even looking at her when he did it to see how she reacted. Her breath stuttered, and she did her best to cover it by reaching for her water glass.

Staying hydrated.

Then, just as abruptly as it had turned on, it turned off again.

She’d never wanted to simultaneously strangle someone and jump their bones before, but that’s where Brian was at now for her. If they weren’t surrounded by their friends, who couldn’t know what was happening, she might have gone over the table for him. Or under it.

It was a restaurant on kink island. They’d probably seen worse.

On the other hand, she wasn’t the type to normally make an exhibition of herself, so maybe it was for the best. Brian was doing things to her that made her want to act out of character. As usual.

And he kept doing it. Over and over again.

Turning the vibrator on and off throughout the meal.

Mostly while he wasn’t looking at her, but sometimes while he was. She swore his smile was more sadistic, but no one else seemed to notice.

By the time they were all done eating and headed to the Dungeon, she couldn’t wait to ditch her friends and find somewhere he could finish her off. At least, he’d better finish her off, or she was going to go find someone else to do the job because, at this point, she was about to jump out of her goddamn skin.

Brian

The only problem with going to the Dungeon as a group was trying to get Rae alone. There were plenty of distractions, but also well-meaning friends doing their best not to let him and Rae feel like a third wheel. And as much fun as tormenting her with the vibrator was—she was starting to glare daggers at him every time he put his hand in his pocket—he was tired of remote touch.

He wanted to get his hands all over her and his cock inside her.

He was pretty sure that was what she wanted, too, though he started second-guessing himself when she walked off with a Dom who had come up and introduced himself. That had killed his erection. Watching her out of the corner of his eye, he wasn’t sure what to do. They’d had an agreement after all, and he’d never known Rae to back out of an agreement, but they’d also never been in a situation quite like this before—and all his knowledge was secondhand.

Although he could always turn the vibrator on to remind her, that wasn’t how he wanted to have her. He didn’t want to have to remind her. Sure, it was only for one night, but trying to push her into remembering their agreement still felt like another rejection. The remembered ache in his chest from all the previous times she’d pushed him away made him think maybe it would be better to just get it over with.

It was a good thing he was watching, though, because he caught the moment when she excused herself from the Dom, then looked back at him. Brian hid his grin when she jerked her head at him and moved away through the crowd toward one of the many exits that led to the boardwalk outside.

“I’m going to go get some fresh air,” he said to Kincaid and Zach, who had been hanging out with him. “You two should go have fun.”

“Are you sure?” Zach asked, looking torn. He glanced at Kincaid, who was staring out into the crowd. If anyone needed to reconnect, it was those two.

“Yup, go have fun. I’ll be back in soon, I’m sure.” He was pretty sure he wouldn’t be, actually, but hopefully, they wouldn’t realize that. Kincaid was already turning back to the conversation, refocusing on his boyfriend and tilting his head suggestively at Zach.

“We could go watch the cupping demonstration,” Kincaid said, his words sounding oddly like a challenge. Zach’s chin jerked up, as if he was interpreting Kincaid’s words the same way Brian was.

“We could do that.”

Crap. Brian wasn’t sure if he’d just inadvertently started something. Should he stick around and try to do damage repair? On the other hand, would he make things better or worse? He really wasn’t sure.

“Okay then, let’s go,” Kincaid said, getting to his feet and making Brian’s decision for him. As Kincaid held out his hand to Zach, who paused for a moment before taking it, Brian slipped away. He was more worried about his friends than ever, and at the same time, he didn’t think there was anything he could actually do to help them. He wasn’t even sure what was wrong because they weren’t talking to anyone about it, as far as he knew. Which was their choice, but it felt like watching a car crash in slow motion.

He didn’t take the time to watch them walk away. He had his own metaphorical car crash waiting for him.

Turning on his heel, he stalked after Rae. She’d better be alone when he caught up with her. They weren’t in a relationship, but they had made an agreement. If she couldn’t keep it for one night…
