“I was just about to ask. Thanks, bro.” Ian took a step closer. Our eyes locked in a war of wills. A slow smile tugged the corners of his mouth. “You may no longer speak until given permission, unless it’s your safeword. If you are willing to proceed, nod your head, please.”
With a sour expression, I jerked my head and bit my tongue to keep from lashing out at him.
“Hmmm, this might be harder than I thought,” Ian smirked. “Stand in front of the fireplace facing us, girl. I want you to cast your eyes toward the floor and kneel like a proper submissive.”
Shooting daggers Joshua’s way, I stomped my way to the designated spot, but I didn’t kneel or lower my gaze. Defiantly looking past Ian, I stared at my sister. Peeking up at me, I saw pride and unwavering support glimmering in Sanna’s dark eyes.
Smiling internally, I gave her a slight nod before snapping my head toward Joshua, who squatted down next to Drake’s chair, talking quietly with the big man. How long was he going to allow this stupid charade to continue?
As long as it takes. You’re the one who opened your fat mouth and accepted Ian’s challenge. Big mistake. Huge.
“Look at me,” Ian instructed. When I did, he flashed me a tight, controlled smile. “Are you refusing my instructions, girl? Or just trying my patience?”
Holy hell. Where had Ian been hiding that badass Dom-tude of his?
“What exactly is it that you two are aiming for here?” Dylan asked, rising to his feet and pinning Joshua with a disapproving glare. “I meant both physical and mental pain when I told you not to hurt her.”
Joshua stood as if squaring off for a knockdown, drag-out.
“I’m not aiming to do either, Dylan. If you’ll sit back down and watch, I think you’ll understand.” Joshua’s voice was brittle and sharp. It was the same tone he’d used when Davis Walker interrupted our session at Genesis. A cold shiver raced down my spine.
The Dominant stare-off lasted several uncomfortable seconds before Dylan gave a curt nod and sat back down.
“Continue, Ian,” Joshua instructed in an icy command.
When Ian snapped his fingers, I zipped my focus back to him. “Follow all my instructions, or safeword out. I won’t remind you again.”
Ian wanted to test my will—poke at my self-restraint? Oh, buddy, bring it on. I wasn’t about to go down without a fight.
With a loud huff of annoyance, I eased to my knees onto the thick pile carpet. Darting a contemptuous look Joshua’s way, I could see a fire of pride and desire dance in his eyes. Blood pooled and throbbed behind my clit. Just looking at the man’s feral hunger and approval turned me on like a damn light switch. My pussy started to weep. There was something fundamentally wrong with me. Trying to ignore the sexual need flickering inside me, I cast my eyes toward the floor.
“You look gorgeous in that pose, Mellie,” Ian praised quietly before his tenor took on that cutting Dominant edge. “I want you stand again for me. Close your eyes and count to ten. Center yourself for me, girl. Let that sweet submission flow through your veins. Then I want you to kneel again for me.”
Slowly rising to my feet, I did as he instructed. Inhaling a deep breath, I mentally started counting to ten. A soothing sense of peace began to settle through me.
“Yes,” Ian whispered. “So beautiful. Handing over your hypnotizing power is a glorious sight to see. Fall at my feet and kneel before me, girl. Release your inhibitions. I want to see every inch of it. Feel your control in the air, fill my lungs as you hand your submission over to me.”
Gliding back to the floor upon my knees, that familiar feeling of liberated bliss warmed my chest and spread through my limbs. I didn’t try to push it away or deny its existence. Instead, I welcomed his invisible hands wrapping around me, molding and protecting my vulnerabilities…my surrender.
“This is your strength, Mellie. Your power. Your control. I see it. He sees it. Your Master is watching you, girl. This priceless gift you give him is what feeds his soul and makes him whole. Nourish him, little one. Give him life and strength.”
Ian’s words were barely above a whisper, but the weight of each phrase pressed around me, blanketing me in contentment. I sensed movement in front of me. The tops of Joshua’s shoes appeared in my periphery, and it took all the strength I possessed not to raise my head.
“I can smell your hot cunt from here, girl,” Ian murmured.
Mortified, I gasped softly, wanting nothing more than to melt into the carpet and disappear.
“Your body responds to its natural calling. It’s your head that’s blocking your path, sweet girl. Spread your thighs, little one. Spread them nice and wide. Show your Master your courage and strength,” Ian directed.
Terrified, Ian would want to touch me to feel how wet I’d become, I swallowed tightly and tried to force myself to comply. A swell of panic overtook me. Snapping my head up, a pained expression tugged at my brows.
“I’m not having sex with him,” I boldly declared, looking Joshua in the eye.
He simply smiled as Ian squatted in close next to me. When he gently brushed my hair over my shoulder, I tensed and fought the urge to pull back.
“I have no desire to claim your pussy or ass, Mellie,” Ian began in a reassuring timbre. “This lesson isn’t about sex; it’s about power and control, submission and freedom. It’s about giving everything inside you over to your Master. All your fears, your pain, your insecurities, along with all your strengths and weaknesses. It’s about trusting someone with the very essence of your being; that they’ll not only keep them safe but make you whole in the process. Master Stephen is going to keep you safe. And if you let him, he’ll also make you whole.”
“Submission isn’t weakness, little one. It takes a hell of a lot more courage and strength to hand over your power than it does to keep it locked in your fist with a death grip,” Joshua expounded, picking up where Ian left off, like a tag-team match. “Freedom is found within, little one. You know it, and I know it. When you give me the power to make all the decisions for you, to bind you with my mind and body, what happens inside you?”
