“Not me. He did.” She turned, and I followed her gaze through the open door behind her. A man stood in the center of the room; it was fairly dark in there, except for the display shelves and racks all along the walls around him, which glowed red. The whole room was lined with crops and other leather-looking goods. Hundreds of them.

Kinky sex stuff.

I stared.

Then I floated into the room, propelled by this girl as she looped her arm through mine. I was still holding the crop as I looked all around, wide-eyed. “This is the love shop,” she said easily. “That’s what I call it. In here, you can find everything you need to enjoy yourself at the party… and beyond.”

She brought us to a stop in front of the man, who was watching us.

“Hello,” I said, since he was staring. There was no one else in the room, except for a couple looking at some items in a corner and talking quietly to one another. The man in front of me wore an expensive suit. He was tall, with a groomed beard, a stylish haircut and black plug earrings.

“Hello,” he said. Then he glanced at the girl who still had her arm looped through mine. “Who’s this?” he asked her.

She looked at me.

“Uh, Julie,” I said.

“I’m Raven,” she said sweetly.

“Welcome, Julie. I’m Chris.” He offered me his hand.

He looked so… regular. Kind of clean cut. Other than the earrings. There was something commanding about him, though. He was pretty built. I could tell, even in the suit. But it was more than that. It was the way he stood. The way he spoke.

The way he looked at me.

I shook his hand politely. “Chris… There was a boy I went to school with when I was little named Chris. He was really cute.”

Oh my god, I am so awkward.

His lips curled in a slow smile. “Well, you’re pretty cute yourself.”

He was flirting with me. Definitely.

I looked at Raven. And I wondered, were they a Dom/sub couple? I mean, how would I know? But I thought they had that vibe. The way she looked at him…

My gaze drifted to the black choker she wore. Which I now noticed was a collar, with an actual buckle on it. Exactly like a pet collar.

My eyes dropped. I took a closer look at the crop in my hand. I was curious about it, but mostly I was uncomfortable with these people. They seemed very… friendly. But I wasn’t sure if that was a good thing.

“Would you like to try it?” Raven asked, and before I could respond, she nudged me toward a piece of furniture.

I blinked at the curvy, sumptuous chaise. The shape was slightly reminiscent of a curvaceous woman. “Um, I’m supposed to strike it?”

She laughed softly. “If you like. You should really try it on a human, though. I can show you what it feels like,” she offered. But maybe she could read my discomfort with that because she added quickly, “Or you can try it on me.”

“Uh…”

“Allow me.” Chris stepped in and took the crop from my hand, his fingers brushing mine. “Have a seat.” He indicated the end of the chaise and I sat down carefully on it.

My heart was thumping. But for some reason, I wasn’t leaving.

I wanted to see what he was going to do.

Maybe because Raven had bent over the other end of the curvy chaise and was now stretching like a contented cat, reminding me of that woman bending over the Lamborghini for Shane.

I stared as Chris stroked the soft, leathery tongue at the tip of the crop up the back of Raven’s bare thigh, flirted with the hem of her skirt… and then whacked her ass lightly with it. Her whole body pulsed and she gasped.

Clearly, she loved it.
