Madison just shakes her head as Blake Wagner follows Kayla into the room. He’s a big guy with muscles. His dark hair contrasts with his green eyes, the same shade as Kayla’s. He’s got on a t-shirt and jeans.
“Ladies. What’s going on?” Blake’s gaze settles on Madison and softens.
“We need a brother’s opinion.” Kayla grabs a handful of popcorn. “If you had a best friend who wasn’t already fucking your woman—Wait, let’s say Coop wanted to fuck me.” She grins. “And Madison didn’t exist because otherwise I’d be breaking up your happy home. But if Coop wanted to fuck me and was really kinky, what kind of kink would make you tell him not to pursue me?”
Madison laughs behind her hand.
“No, on imagining Coop. I would never forbid anyone from pursuing you. I would enlighten them to your personality and maybe tell them for their own safety to run for the hills.” Blake leans against the doorframe with a smirk.
“That’s not very nice, but accurate.” Kayla smirks back. “Fine, pretend you need to look out for me.”
Blake rubs the back of his head. “I mean, there are kinks that border on abusive that I wouldn’t be happy about unless you were definitely into that.”
“Like what?” I can’t help asking.
“There are a lot of sadomasochistic practices that might make a loved one fear for your safety. There are people who crave the pain. As long as you are safe, consenting adults, I wouldn’t have a problem with my sister participating. But if one person takes advantage of the other, it can get into a gray area.” Blake meets each of our gazes.
Kayla smiles. “Aw, my big brother cares about me and my needs.”
He sighs. “I’ve given up. You are who you are. If someone tried to do you dirty, you’d make them pay.”
“That doesn’t help me.” I take a handful of popcorn. It still doesn’t answer the question.
Blake’s attention shifts to me. “Honestly, with you, your brother might be concerned with any kink. I don’t know Tom personally. He may not want to think of his sister being involved in something more than vanilla. I have little choice with mine.”
“And you love me for it.” Kayla preens.
“If you need anything, tiger, let me know.” Blake steps into the room and leans down to press a kiss to Madison’s lips before leaving.
“Thanks!” we say as he closes the door.
“So it could be anything, like spanking or bondage.” I pick at my pants. “Neither of which sounds good or bad, but I’d be willing to explore to figure out if I could like them.”
“Maybe you should just ask him.” Hope shrugs. “The worst he can do is not tell you and then you still don’t know.”
“I say you go for it. Just strip down naked for the guy and say do your worst.” Kayla winks. “You’ll have a really great time and figure out if his kink is for you. Win-win.”
Both ideas have merit. Though it would be better to know what I’m getting myself into than to tell him do your worst and end up running screaming from the room.
We laugh and chat a little before starting the movie. Kayla tells us all about her worst kink experience with a guy who didn’t actually know what he was doing. The conversation continues during the movie, as does the wine.
“Mmm, we should walk Hope to her brother’s bar.” Kayla smiles. “Your brother has the prettiest blue eyes.”
“We have the same blue eyes.” Hope laughs and shakes her head. “And please don’t date my brother. I like you and don’t want you to disappear when he does you dirty.”
“I just like looking at those eyes.” Kayla cups Hope’s cheeks. “That’s why I like looking at you too.”
I glance at my phone. It’s still early and I really don’t want to deal with whatever is waiting for me at the apartment. “I’m in.”
“Me too.” Madison puts on some shoes.
The walk to McAvoy’s from the office building that Madison’s apartment is in is short. We talk and laugh the whole way there. When we enter, it’s busy.
“Come on, I’ll get us a seat.” Hope weaves us through the crowd until we end up at the bar. She catches Jason’s attention and soon a few people get up, leaving room for us.
Jason smiles at Hope as he goes to get us drinks.
We drink and talk about the future. We’re making plans to eventually work together after we get the experience we need. After a while, I have to use the restroom.
