The submissive behind the bar says she’ll bring them out to us. Being attached to the owners sometimes gets us extra special treatment, but we try not to abuse it.
I sit back at the table and let Skylar and Zara catch me up on everything that’s gone down since I left town.
“You’ll never guess who actually played with someone a couple of weeks ago,” Zara says, a huge grin on her face.
“Who?” I can’t imagine who Zara would be excited about.
“Jeanie.”
My mouth falls. “No! Who did she play with?”
Jeanie is her driver, but they’ve become friends, and there was some curiosity on Jeanie’s part. She’d been to the club a few times on business since she works for Luke and Zara, but Bellamy was never sure if she was interested in playing or not.
“One of the weekends we did that kinky sampler night in Master Owen’s room. She tried some sensual rope with the Dom who was offering that and after the event was over, they went off and played under one of the frames.”
“That’s so cool.”
“I know. She hasn’t been back inside since, but she promised she would come visit again, and I’m pretty sure the two of them went on a date last week.”
We talk for another hour as we sip our martinis, and it’s nice to just relax with them. Eventually, the conversation moves to me, and I’m less excited to dish on the latest gossip.
“So… what’s going on with you and Master Owen and Tobias?” Skylar asks.
I lift my head and stare at the ceiling. “It’s a jumble of complicated emotions, and I don’t even know where to begin.”
“Let’s start with how you convinced them to share you,” Zara says with a wink.
I launch into the story of talking with Tyson Vance about his partners and how they make it work, and my individual conversations with Tobias and Owen about it.
“To be completely honest, I never expected either of them to go for it. And none of us are sure if it can last. But it’s working, and we’re clinging to that for as long as we can.”
“Why can’t it last?” Zara asks.
Zara and Skylar didn’t grow up in families like mine or their partner’s, so they likely won’t understand. But I do my best to explain.
Skylar points at herself. “Matteo was never supposed to be able to be with a celebrity, but we’re making it work.”
“Do you ever resent the fact that you can’t get married or be super public with your relationship?”
Skylar twists the stem of her wine glass. “When I heard that Luke and Zara got married, I was annoyed. And sometimes it comes up. But we’ve committed to each other. He got a tattoo for me. I wear his collar. We practically live together. And we try to make up for the things we can’t do with things that are unique to us. There is no reason the three of you can’t do the same.”
I close my eyes. “There is if it means one of them dies for being with me. I can’t have that blood on my hands.”
“So, how do you pick?”
“I’m promised to Tobias. The choice might be made for me.”
“That is tough. But he seems to really care about you and Owen. I can’t see him making you choose. It was so sweet when he came to Matteo and Owen about your motorcycle. You could tell he was super grumpy about it because he doesn’t want you to get hurt riding. But he clearly wanted to do something for you that showed you how much he cares.”
Hearing Skylar’s depiction of events surrounding the bike makes my heart ache for Tobias, and I pray circumstances don’t force me to have to pick one of the two men I’ve fallen in love with.
Another hour passes before Owen comes out of the Diamond play area and approaches our table, looking worn out.
“Everything OK?”
He doesn’t say anything, just pulls me into his arms and kisses me on the forehead.
“Owen, please? Tell me what’s wrong.”
