Kara nodded. “Tash told me he wasn’t comfortable with his…needs. Normally I would tell her to run as fast as she can, but apparently they got through it.”
“She told you that?”
Kara shrugged like it wasn’t a big deal. “Of course. Look, the worst thing a sub can do is find a top who hates the fact that he’s a top. Most of the time it’s because he or she has been through a ton of trauma with people telling them their sexual needs are perverted. It’s ridiculous. Sexual needs should always be somewhat perverted. Where’s the fun in non-perverted sex?”
She was going to kill him. He looked around, trying to make sure no one was listening.
Her eyes were narrowed when he turned back to her. “Ah, you, too, huh?”
What? “Having some amount of delicacy doesn’t mean I’m sexually suppressed. Dare’s into some stuff that could get him in troublewith his family if he’s not discreet.”
“He’s into D/s.” Kara stated it flatly, like it was normal.
Dominance and submission. The words made his cock tighten. The idea of this woman being submissive made him want to throw her over his shoulder and run away with her.
He was back to caveman.
“Yes, and some bondage.” Ben kept his voice low. “It’s why his wife divorced him.”
She frowned. “She didn’t like sex? Why the hell did she get married then?”
“I think it was one of those rich people things.” He was pretty sure Dare’s whole life was about his family name. It seemed to be an awful way to live, but then Ben’s whole life was about justice against one man, so who was he to judge?
Dare was getting a respite with Tasha. He wouldn’t turn her down. If she showed up and offered herself to Dare, he would go with it. He would take everything she was willing to give him.
What would Kara Trent offer Ben? Was she into the same lifestyle as her cousin?
Her nose wrinkled. “That’s sad. Anyway, I should get going.”
She started to pull away, but he put a hand on her wrist. “Your first meeting isn’t for another hour.”
Her eyes widened, but she didn’t move away. “How would you know that?”
Honesty. He used it like the weapon it could be at times. “Because you put your schedule on social media.”
“You looked at my socials? Why?”
He stared at her.
She softened a bit. “If you thought it wasn’t a good idea for Tash and Dare, why would it be better for us?”
He loosened his grip, turning her hand over so he could envelop it in both of his. “Kara, you feel it, too, right? I can’t be the only one to feel this pull.”
She sighed, and her expression held a longing he was almost certain they shared. “I’m like my cousin, and while it seems to be working out for her and Dare, I don’t play with tops who shrink back when I talk about sex. I’ve found that’s an excellent way to get myself in trouble.”
“I wasn’t shrinking back.” He huffed. “Maybe I was. I was thinking about what it cost my friend. Look, if Dare’s hanging out with Tash, then we’re going to be around each other. You want to talk about sex. I can do it. I’d like to lay you out and run my tongue over every inch of your body before I spread your legs wide and force my cock inside you. If you prefer I did that while you’re tied up and vulnerable and helpless to me, I’m more than happy to oblige. If you want to show me that pretty ass and let me spank it before I shove a plug up it to get you ready for anal, I’m willing to do that as well.”
He thought she would blush, but no. Not Kara Trent. Her lips curled up, and she leaned back as though giving the prospect serious consideration.
“Well, that gives me something to think about, doesn’t it?” She slid off the barstool. “I will see you later, Brian, and don’t think that scenario won’t be running through my head while I sit in on the lecture about the new uses for GLP1s. It should make for an interesting session. Until we meet again, Mr. Peters.”
So smooth and silky. She walked away, her hips swinging.
Yeah, he was going to have to do something about her. Likely something deeply perverted.
He watched her until she disappeared down the hall.
He would protect her from Manny. Manny never had to know she existed. She was formidable, but a woman like her would be nothing but a toy to Manny, and he would use her to punish Ben.
