I pressed a kiss to her shoulder.
“Yeah, it’s going to for a while. How do you feel besides that?”
She found my hand on her hip and held my wrist, her thumb absently stroking me.
“Tired. Did I go to sleep?”
Leon moved closer.
“Have you ever heard of a subspace?”
She shook her head and Dom took over explaining.
“It can happen to people during intense scenes or play. Your body is releasing so many endorphins and adrenaline that you can get a blissed out feeling. Some people say they experience a floaty feeling.”
“Oh.” Sutton relaxed into my chest. “Okay. Wow. I’m sorry for being out of it.”
“Why?” I studied her profile. “I told you that once the punishment was over, all would be forgiven. And it’s a dream for a dom to take his sub to their subspace. It means we’re doing something right.”
She gripped my wrist tighter.
“What does it mean that a terrible spanking took me there?”
Dom grinned.
“It means you’re perfect for us, Kitten. Now, we have some things to go over. You agreed to be ours and that position comes with a few rules.”
“Like not going to the club alone?”
“That’s just a given.” Dom sighed and moved around to lean against his desk right in front of her. “We’ve done everything we can to keep this place safe. Obviously, some things slip through the gaps, though. Like a shitty guard or a fucking predator who somehow passes the thorough check all members go through. What happened tonight wasn’t your fault, at all. I want to make that clear. If our safety checks hadn’t failed, the most that would’ve happened was you would’ve been hit on a lot. We don’t want you coming alone because fuck-ups can happen. And because you belong to us. The idea of another man thinking you’re up for grabs is not acceptable.”
I held my other hand over Sutton’s soft stomach and pressed her into me tighter.
“That fucking pretty boy is lucky he left here with his life.”
I expected horror or shock from Sutton but she just looked back at me and smiled.
“Thank you for protecting me.”
Of course, my dick responded instantly. She looked down and giggled. I just got harder but I chose to ignore it. We had rules togo over so Sutton could start following them and never have to be spanked again.
“You consented to being ours out there but let’s go over our expectations and then you can decide if you still want that.” Dom reached into his pocket and pulled out a necklace we’d chosen together before our fight. We’d been optimistic. “If you agree to be ours, you’ll wear this. It locks so that only the person with the key can get it off. It’ll show that you’re taken.”
Sutton leaned forward and gasped.
“Are those real emeralds and diamonds?”
“Only the best.” Leon stood up and moved to take Dom’s place behind his desk. He pulled out a sheet of paper and pen before meeting my eyes and then Dom’s. “Let’s start. You need to get home and sleep soon.”
Halfway through discussing the rules Sutton eased out of my lap and paced to the other side of the room. She didn’t look upset, though. She looked like she was thinking hard and considering everything. It was only when Dom stated the rule about her orgasms belonging to us that made her look up and frown.
“No t-touching myself?”
I sent her a knowing smirk.
“Only when one of us is directing you to.”
“Okay…keep going, please.”
