Wondering what it is, I pick it up and close the door as I step back into the house. Sliding my finger under the flap, I open it up to find a very exposing picture of me strapped to the St. Andrews cross from the other week at Embrace.
The black face mask blocks most of my face but I know it’s me. Alaric has my legs wrapped around his lean hips and his cock is buried deep inside me while Cade pinches my nipple and Rhett fucks my ass.
Something that was so personal and beautiful now feels tarnished and torrid knowing someone took this without our permission.
I’m standing in the entryway when Rhett comes to me. “What’s the holdup? Are you eating . . . ” His words trail off when he sees me standing there with the photo in my shaking hand.
Coming around to look at it, he rips it from my hands when he sees what it is.
“What the fuck?” His shout draws the other two from the living room to us.
“What is it?” Cade asks, holding out his hand for the picture. Rhett hands it over and both Alaric and Cade’s faces take on dark looks.
“I’m going to call Embrace to check in with security. I want to know exactly who was there that night.” Alaric gets on his phone and stomps away.
Rhett gathers me into his arms, letting his warmth seep into my suddenly cold body. My eyes never leave Cade as he studies the erotic picture. If the circumstances were different it would be a beautiful reminder of that night and I’d want to keep it. But now it’s only tarnished the memory.
The doorbell rings again, and Rhett lets go of me to answer it. This time it is the pizza delivery guy and Rhett takes the pre-paid pizza and closes the door. The entire time all I can do is stand there watching Cade examine the picture.
Suddenly he crumples it up into a ball and takes it into the kitchen. He tosses it and the envelope into the sink and opens a box searching through it. When he finds a lighter he clicks it on and set both the picture and envelope aflame.
“That’s evidence you’re destroying.” My voice sounds weird, like it’s not my own.
“I don’t give a fuck. I’m not letting the cops see that. That was ours and I don’t want to taint it more by showing them,” Cade snarls. “You’re ours and no one gets to see you unless we fucking say so. They certainly don’t get to exploit us, but especially not you, like this.” Then he turns on his heel and strides down the hall, slamming his door when he crosses the threshold.
I jump at the force of it and Rhett comes up to me, wrapping one arm around me, and sets the pizza boxes down on the counter.
25 High Pressure
Rhett
To say things are tense in the house over the next few days would be a massive understatement.
Alaric, whose demeanor is normally calm and collected, is like a rabid animal and the only thing that seems to calm him is having Elle close. The thing is she’s the only thing that calms me too. I’m sure the same can be said of Cade.
She’s become such an integral part of our lives in a short amount of time that I forget we barely know each other. I hope to change that with a sensation game I have planned tonight with an adult spin on it. Cade and Alaric both think it’s a great idea.
Cade and I are in the kitchen preparing dinner while Alaric and Elle are on the back deck getting in some cuddles and alone time.
“She seems to be handling this rather well,” Cade says while looking out the kitchen window to the back deck.
“Better than us,” I say, taking in her beauty.
“That photo has us all shaken up but Alaric the most.” Cade puts the chopped asparagus into the skillet and seasons them.
“Tony assures me they’re doing a thorough investigation to find out who brought a camera past the locker rooms.” It’s a well-known club violation to bring cameras into any area past the locker rooms. Doing so without permission and only then into a private room will get the person booted and banned from Embrace. And put on a black list for all affiliated BDSM clubs or events.
“I can’t believe it happened in the first place. We rely on security to protect our privacy. Failing to do so has the potential for severe consequences for many of us. Not just personally but also professionally.” Cade doesn’t need to tell me, but I know he’s worried about his job at the hospital.
They don’t have open-mindedness with his high-ranking position. He has to be above any scrutiny in all aspects of his life.
Alaric and I, not so much. Alaric is self-employed, being an antiquities dealer, and the trading company I work for doesn’t give two fucks if I like to tie up my partners or share her with other men.
“Tony will find them and then I’m sure the club will take any necessary legal actions needed.” I try to reassure him.
“I hope so.” He trails off and stirs the food in the pan.
We work in silence for the next few minutes until Elle and Alaric come inside.
