way, she shrugged. “Good word.”
“Certainly not something Delia’s likely to blurt out in the throes of passion,” Master Daniel agreed. “And hopefully she won’t blurt it out right now, either, when I put these on her nipples.”
Mara sat transfixed as the fledgling Master started to work. He teased first,
brushing a fingertip in a circle around one of his sub’s nipples but avoiding the tightly furled peak until Delia was arching toward him, trying to angle for the touch. He just tsked and changed tactics, tweaking sharply and then grinning an evil grin when his
victim squeaked in surprise.
Mara would have liked to soothe that hurt with her mouth. She could practically
feel the heated, gathered flesh between her lips, under her tongue. The rosy color there 44

was deepening already, and the nipple was standing out proudly from its field of paler pink and white. As the Master fastened the first clamp into place over the swollen bud and Delia gave a groan of pained delight, Mara tried not to gasp in sympathy, in
jealousy.
Again, though, Mara wasn’t as quiet as she’d thought. Master Daniel looked down
at her again, and this time followed the line of her gaze back to his sub’s newly
decorated breast. And then back to Mara’s face, with a question in his eyes.
“Can you only help me with equipment, Mara? Or can you help me with her?
Would you like to?” He let his eyes drift back to Delia, whose face was turned toward him as though she could see through the fine black silk. “I know I would enjoy
watching that.”
Delia only sighed, though it was a very telling sigh. She didn’t protest, though
Master Daniel was clearly giving her a chance to. They were having a whole
conversation with their bodies, communicating wordlessly even though the blindfold
was in their way. Mara felt that curious envy again, remembering this wasn’t just a sub and Dom but a married couple. Having it all, or at least trying to for the moment. She wondered what it would be like to live with a Dom. To have a relationship with a
Master outside the bedroom. She’d rarely even gotten as far as considering that with a significant other, much less finding a Dominant to marry.
“I’d like that very much, Sir. Thank you.”

Chapter Seven
Two chicks. Two .
Daniel’s mind had briefly stopped working, and he was trying to whack it back into
some semblance of utility but it just kept getting stuck.
Threesome threesome threesome .
He looked from the beautiful black-haired woman kneeling at his feet, to his
beautiful blonde wife dangling from the chains that led up to the ceiling. At the
realization that Delia was going along with all of this, he got stuck on a new refrain.
Love love love GOD I love this woman.
He’d been so worried. So anxious about giving her what she needed. And he’d
come so far, but now he had finally started anticipating, adventuring beyond what
she’d asked for, and he knew a heady rush of power even greater than he had in the toy store. He could do this.
And now there might also be hot girl-on-girl action, a pretty much unexpected
bonus. An inspiration. He knew Delia had batted for both teams, but she’d never
suggested bringing in a third party. She’d never even taken him very seriously when
he’d suggested it.
And this might not wind up that way, he told himself sternly. Agreeing to “help”
was not exactly agreeing to a three-way. So he would proceed with caution.
“Well if you’re helping, then get up here and see to this other clamp.”
Mara hopped up in one quick movement and passed him the tawse, trading it for
the second nipple clamp.
“May I use my mouth, Sir?”

“One taste. And I’ll make you pay me for it later.” He swung the leather strap in a
wide arc, warming up his shoulder.
Then he let his arm fall to his side as he watched Mara lean in and take
