Later that night, after they’d enjoyed a take-out dinner and chatted for a while, the three of them lay in bed. Valentina had never felt so content, so safe or so sexy, but there was one thing that still played on her mind. Bastian was breathing heavily, but there was no sound from Ethan, so she figured he was still awake.
“Eth…I mean Master.”
Ethan laughed softly. “You’re learning. What is it?”
“The first time I saw you, you were yelling at a young woman. Was she your sub?”
“No.”
“Oh.” Valentina wasn’t sure whether that was the answer she’d hoped for or not. If she had been one of his women, Valentina would feel jealous, but if she hadn’t, then deep down he was the same mean jackass she always thought he was, despite their new intimate connection.
“I’d just discovered that she’d been stealing from the company, from the pension fund, specifically. If I hadn’t figured it out, she could’ve gotten away with millions.”
Valentina felt a weight lift from her shoulders as the last trace of enmity against Ethan disappeared. She snuggled into his side and he wrapped a strong arm around her.
“Remind me to punish you later for prying.”
“I will.” She fell asleep, dreaming of exquisite torture.

Afew days later, the alarm clock shrieked at six a.m. sharp. “Morning already?” Valentina croaked.
She scooted up on top of Ethan, folding her resting arms onto his chest. She wiggled up to his torso to kiss him. His multi-talented mouth came towards her so slowly she thought she was dreaming until they finally met. Chest to chest, their hearts pounded together in harmony.
Bastian rolled onto his back, only half-awake, and Valentina thought he looked even more sexy and adorable in his disheveled state. She climbed over onto him, placing her hands on his strong, broad chest.
“Bonjour,” she said, glad of the opportunity to use the only French word she knew.
“Bonjour, mon petit chou,” he said and pulled her down towards him.
At first his lips brushed hers softly, like a hummingbird buzzing around a flower. His arms wrapped around her tighter, pulling her close into his embrace. He kissed both corners of her mouth, and then traced her lips with his tongue. His kiss grew stronger and he branded her as his possession. Mind, body and soul.
“Do we have to get up already?” she complained.
“No, it’s Saturday,” Ethan replied. “I sleep in until six on weekends.”
“Me, too.”
Valentina recalled the past week with happiness and wonderment. The three of them had spent every moment together, at work and at home. They had stayed at Ethan’s apartment every night, and the pair had taken her on a different adventure each evening. One night they took her to a private nyotaimori restaurant, where they ate sushi off her while she lay nude on the table. The next night, she learned about the pleasure of bamboo skewers. Tomorrow was a mini samurai sword. It was the best five days of her life.
Every morning, the business partners gave her a new set of instructions as their submissive. Tuesday, Ethan had made her wear a star harness under her clothes all day; Wednesday, Bastian had made her wear ankle bells to work under her pants. Thursday had been ben wa balls, and Friday had been a remote vibrator that they could both control from their phones. They had teased her with it mercilessly, and she had almost orgasmed aloud while in a meeting with Richard and Peter Simson.
“I want to take you on a trip to the Farnsworth House today,” Ethan said over breakfast.
“That is Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s most famous design!” said Valentina excitedly.
“It’s an educational field trip,” he said and grinned. “For Bastian as well as you. We need to show these Europeans what good, American architecture looks like.”
“Pah!” Bastian retorted in between bites of his croissant. “Then next week I insist we all travel to Paris. You,mademoiselle, need to see some true achievements of the architectural world.”
“I love to learn about architecture, wherever it is,” Valentina answered honestly.
“Today you will be learning about phallic structures,” Ethan said, tickling her from behind.
Valentina bubbled with contentment. “Thank you, both of you.”
