“Oh, fuck. Hud? Are you…?”
“When Ryan was fucking me, I had this urge to beg him for…things. I didn’t even let those thoughts sprout, you know? They were under everything, the pain for one.”
He was quiet for a minute, then I heard him laugh low, and finally, he said, “Hud, I hear the fear in your voice, sure, but I hear more than that. You sound happier than I’ve ever heard you. No, it’s not conventional, and you four will have to do a lot of talking to figure things out, but don’t push it away if it comes. We are only allotted so much happiness in this life. Take it while you can.”
“Yeah. Yeah,…I’ll let you know how it goes.”
As I hung up the phone, Ryan came through the door, and the snow swirled around him like he was a part of the storm itself. Those icy green eyes stared into mine, and I felt like dropping to my knees.
“Are you okay?”
“I’m…good. I’m okay.”
He closed the door and came to me, the fury in his eyes not lessening, but he touched me gently as he pushed me to the back wall. “This is fucking crazy! I didn’t mean for any of this; you must believe me.”
“What do you mean?”
“I think you know, Hud.”
I nodded weakly, my throat closing with the emotion I was trying to suppress. “What the fuck are we doing?”
“I don’t know. Looks like we all need to figure this out.”
“Yeah. Help me with the feeding and watering, and let’s get back and sort all this.”
Before we moved to do anything, Ryan got closer to me, so close that I saw deeply in his eyes and felt the warmth of his breath and the chill of his red cheeks from the frigid wind. His lips touched mine, and I nearly collapsed to the floor, but he held me like I was no bigger than Theo or Brett, and in his arms, I felt that. I felt like he was the biggest man I knew, and I was small and in his grasp; I would be protected and safe. I’d never needed that before, but at that moment, I needed him.
Chapter Twenty-Two
One week later…
So, I skipped over all the talking, and there was a lot of talking. The doing was the more critical thing as memories went.
Theo was dressed in what I’d bought for him, a beautiful bright white harness with a gold O ring in the center of the straps in a cross on his chest. On his ass was a matching white jock, though it was in gray, black, and white camo, and he wore a gold cock ring that made his nice package bulge perfectly in the fabric cup.
He wore a leather collar with a leash dangling on his neck, and he wore it proudly. I’d always known he would proudly walk into the club on a leash, showing the world that he was finally wanted and loved.
And that was precisely what he did, head held high, chest protruding as he nearly pranced into the club. I strode casually behind him, equally proud, wearing white leather pants to match Theo, a white cuff on my left bicep, and a simple camo T-shirt from the company that matched my slave's clothes. I was holding the leash, which meant much more to us than a simple kinky gesture.
It meant he was taken and loved and loved so thoroughly that he wasn’t allowed out of my sight. It told me that he belonged, not only to me but to his friends, this place, and two other men we were falling for.
We were greeted by Burke, Damon, and Joel, who was between them, shaking with excitement when he saw us.
I shook Damon’s hand, then Burke’s in turn. “Hello, fellas.”
“Hud, I haven’t heard much from you except for work,” Burke said, glancing over to the line of booths. “Everything…straightened out?”
“I’ll fill you in tonight if you have the time. Did you reserve the stage for us?”
“Yes, at eleven, it’s all yours. And…theirs. What is the show?”
“Ah,” I whispered slyly. “That’s a surprise.” Theo was glancing at Joel, breaking his stance as he fidgeted. “Will you allow our boys to go off and get some excitement out before they burst?”
Damon slapped Joel’s backside and warned him, “Behave, boy.”
“Yessir! Can I just say first that hell and tarnation! You both look so good!”
“Thanks, Joel. You do, too,” I said, glancing over his bare chest and short black shorts.
