With a tight smile at Master Scrooge, she watched as he secured leather bracelets around her wrists and ankles before attaching them to the chains. She closed her eyes as the shackles rattled when he pressed the button and the pulley started tightening them, raising her arms until she stood spread out. Breathing in, she settled the panic that threatened to surface from the deep recesses of her mind.
“Relax, subbie,” Master Scrooge said as he tugged on her arms. “It’s not too tight? Do you feel any pressure or pull on your arms?”
“No, it feels comfortable, Master Scrooge.”
The night Rocco had taken her to a private play party still haunted her dreams on the odd occasion. He was the one who suggested edge play. In her innocence, she’d expected him to be the only one involved in the scene and said yes. Once she was tied to the bed, she realized her mistake, but it had been too late. No amount of begging, screaming, cursing, or shouting out her safeword stopped the horror of what he intended.
They kept her on the edge for hours, laughing at how she struggled to breathe until finally, she gave in to Rocco’s demands and begged for the only thing that would end her torment… to be fucked by his friends.
The moment the words had left her mouth, she finally saw Rocco for the kind of man he was. Not a Dominant, and sure as hell not the man who claimed he loved her. He was a sadist, a sexual psychopathic sadist who watched with glee as he spurred his friends on to fuck her, over and over, until she passed out.
That was the end for Lilith. The next day, she broke off their engagement. Since she had willingly embarked on the relationship and the scene with him, the embarrassment of what she had endured was too much, so going to the police wasn’t an option, not in her mind. Instead, she suffered alone through her physical and mental recovery. Since Rocco was part of their company and around too often for her peace of mind, it wasn’t easy to get over what he had done.
It took two years of therapy before Lilith could move on and put what had happened behind her. For her, the road to recovery had come to full fruition with the guidance of the true Dominants who helped her realize that what had happened to her wasn’t BDSM and most definitely not her fault. In the short time she had embraced the lifestyle, she had come to understand her true desires and why she had felt the pull of submission, even with Rocco, who used the lifestyle as an umbrella for his sick desires.
Since then, she became much more selective in who she scened with. If she experienced even a twinge of discomfort in the presence of a Dom, she immediately walked away.
Why was she here then, once again opening herself up to the wiles of the very man who had almost destroyed the self-confident woman she was?
Because he has his claws into my brother.
Yes, he’s using me as a game piece in his ploy, but at least this way, I’m close to the epicenter. One way or the other, I will find out exactly what Rocco is up to.
In Lilith’s opinion, there was more to this situation than getting the inside scoop on Hunter Sutton. She was worried that his end game involved taking over DevelopMate, and he was using Gustav’s eagerness to overtake Ground Zero at the top rung to keep him from realizing what was happening right under his nose.
If seducing the elusive Hunter Sutton was the only way to find out what Rocco wanted out of this, so be it.
Chapter Seven
Lilith
“Your mind is drifting again, Lillian. Is this a constant problem with you?” A rush of frigid air, a heavy split in the atmosphere, floated with Master Crow’s words through her.
“My apologies, Master Crow. I had a bad experience with edging. I thought I put it behind me.” Her eyes drifted over the eager crowd, waiting impatiently for the scene to commence. “I guess I was fooling myself.”
“Am I like the man who abused you, Lillian? Do I remind you of him in any way?”
“No!” she exclaimed.
She knew nothing about the powerful Dominant, and as with Rocco, she realized all too well that shit can turn on a dime in a split second, cutting grooves into the floor of life on a nudge. Except, with him, there was no discomfort, no distrust, no fear. There was nothing in his demeanor that indicated he was anything but the man he presented.
“No, Master Crow, you’re not. I actually feel I can trust you. It’s just… I’m scared I’ll react the same way I did then. I don’t want…” Her eyes scoured over the six men watching silently. “I don’t want to get to that level of despair ever again in my life.”
“Even if you begged like you said he made you do, I wouldn’t allow these Masters to fuck you, Lillian. That privilege is mine and mine alone tonight. You honored me with your submission, and it’s something I treasure. A Dominant always cherishes the trust a submissive offers him. I promise you, my pet, I will never abuse it.”
“Thank you, Master Crow. That puts my mind at rest.” A brief smile trembled on her lips. She might be struggling with a smidgen of fear, but she wasn’t scared anymore because one thing was as clear as daylight—she trusted this Dom to take care of her and protect her… even against her own weaknesses. “I’m ready to begin.”
“Good girl.”
Lilith beamed under the praise, even smiling when the six men walked closer on Master Crow’s invitation.
“Lillian, these are Masters Raven, Raptor, and Condor. You already know Masters Scrooge and Adonis.” He smiled as he thumped a gorgeous, muscled man on the back. Lilith blinked when she recognized him as the celeb star from a series of Marvel blockbuster movies she was a fan of. “This is Master Eagle, who decided to pay us a surprise visit tonight. You should be honored that he’s participating in your evaluation.”
Lilith smiled timidly at all the men. She had no doubt the tension from what was about to commence would tear even the most experienced sub to shreds. Add a world-famous actor participating in the edging and you ended up with a highly fragile sub.
“Masters, this is an edging scene. Our aim is to extend Lillian’s arousal until she’s at the peak. You are all aware she’s still relatively new to the lifestyle and is one of our trainee candidates. We will be evaluating her suitability throughout the scene. So, this isn’t a race to get her teetering on the edge within minutes. We’re aiming for slow and steady. Talk to her, set her mind at ease, understand her needs, and most of all, feed her desires. I want feedback from all of you before you leave to attend to the other trainees.”
He traced the pulpy fullness of her bottom lip.
