Chapter 17
Jace had entered the master suite not long after Ian had led Callie inside. He was sure she didn’t know he’d watched and heard their entire scene outside on the beach. There wasn’t a spot on the island that wasn’t covered by security cameras and most of those had audio capabilities as well as sensitive night-vision lenses. He sat in the lounge chair and just watched Callie for long seconds before speaking to her. “Your ass is a lovely shade of red, sweetness. I see your Master has discussed his displeasure with you for not answering his calls. And I see he let you stand here with his seed trailing down your legs so that you would have good reason to remember who you belong to. It’s difficult to forget that you belong to a man when he leaves his mark on you isn’t it?”
“Yes, Sir. I’m very sorry for not taking his calls. I just couldn’t…it well, it hurt too much after what he said before he left. I just had to, well, I had to step back a bit, you know?” Jace knew that she had shut Ian out before he left for the business trip, and he also knew that Ian wasn’t entirely sure why.
Jace saw Ian step out of the shower and signaled him to stay silent. Perhaps he could coax a little information from the tiny beauty who had captured his friend’s heart. “What did your Master say that put that pain in your heart, sweetness?” His tone was soft but wouldn’t leave any doubt but that he expected a truthful answer. When she seemed to hesitate, he cautioned, “Your ass looks awfully sore, Callie. I doubt you want me adding to your punishment tonight, so I suggest you answer me.”
He could practically hear her mind working to figure out how to answer without really answering. But he’d read enough of her background information to know that, in the end, she wouldn’t be able to lie to him.
“Well, I was sort of…well, getting kind of caught up in him, if you know what I mean. I know it was foolish to think that a smart, good-looking guy like him would be interested in someone plain like me. And well, when he reminded me that I’m only going to be here for a month, well, it brought me crashing back to earth.” Jace could see her small frame shaking from her silent sobs, and he’d have liked nothing more than to pull her in to his arms and comfort her, but he was sure he hadn’t gotten it all yet. But he did find it very interesting that she had mentioned Ian’s intelligence and good looks, but hadn’t mentioned the fact the man was a billionaire.Yes, indeed. Amazing young woman, this Callie Reece. And I can hardly wait to bring her pissant sister to heel for all the pain she has caused this sweet soul.
“I’m curious, Callie—tell me why you don’t think Ian could be interested in you. Did he say that? Or has someone else convinced you that you aren’t worthy of everything your heart desires? Because if that’s the case, I know that Master Ian and I would both enjoy spending a little quality time alone with that person.”
This time she didn’t answer, she just wrapped her arms around herself and put her feet together as if she was trying to make herself smaller, as if smaller could be equated with invisible. Hell, it was probably exactly what she’d been trying to do ever since she’d been raped and her wicked mother had all but thrown her to the wolves. Jace knew that the woman would never get another shot at Callie if he or Ian had anything to say about it. Ian McGregor was not a man anyone wanted to fuck with, that was for sure. And even though Callie would always belong to Ian, she would hold a very special place in his heart as well.
Ian had moved in to the room and mouthed his thanks before wrapping his arms around his sobbing sub. “That’s enough of that for tonight. We’ll talk about his more later, but so that your mind can put this aside tonight, I want you to know that I referred to our time together as a month because I wasn’t sure you were ready to hear anything else yet. And truthfully I wasn’t sure I was ready either. But I have some options I want to discuss with you in a few days. I have a couple of ideas that I think might interest you very much—that is if you’d be interested in staying on the island and supervising a project I’m planning.” Jace watched as his friend’s touch and voice seemed to magically soothe her soul. Having known Ian for many years, Jace was thrilled to see the way these two wounded souls seemed to be healing each other. He’d help them and then hope like hell he found his own soul partner in the near future.
Jace spoke up then, “Come along, sweetness, you and I are going to take a quick shower while your Master sets up a few things in here. Let’s get cleaned up so we can play a bit more before we put you to bed.” Ian turned her into his arms, and Jace led her into the bath where he removed her shirt and lacy bra before removing his own sweatpants. They didn’t spend a lot of time in the shower, he made sure she was clean and relaxed before he finished his own shower and toweled them both dry. “Lean over the counter, Callie, I want to insert this in your anus now so it begins to work before we move into the other room.” He watched her eyes go wide before she slowly leaned over the counter. He spread her ass cheeks and pushed a small syringe full of a topical numbing lubricant just inside her pretty little rosette. It would help them stretch her without any unnecessary pain, they were both large men and he wanted her first experience with double penetration to be as pleasant as possible. He also rubbed some soothing aloe gel into her bruised ass and then led her in to the bedroom. Leaning close, he whispered, “Relax and enjoy, sweetness. Let us take you to a whole new level of pleasure.”
