Snapping out of the spell of Sebastian's blue gaze, Brooke turned to Carly. "I'm sorry. It all happened in a whirl. Sebastian invited me to Dark Desires as well and last week, I went. I also got to meet Jax. I was there again last night. I guess I couldn't stay away." She looked Sebastian's way again, unable to hide the look of hurt from her eyes before adding to Carly, "Jax kind of agreed to train me to be a submissive."

Carly had a look of pure confusion sprawled across her face as Brooke's words. .h.i.t her. "Wow. Good for you. I'm envious...you've found something special."

Brooke watched with a sinking heart as Carly scuttled off and had half the mind to follow her.

"Don't go," Sebastian said quietly, a gentle hand on her arm making her freeze.

She spun on him with angry eyes but that wicked smile of his was in play again, putting her panties at risk of catching fire as was usual around him or Jax.

"I was hoping we could grab some coffee. There's a bar just right the corner on your street," he said, his tone light. "Just a half hour of your time, Brooke - that's all I'm asking."

Brooke sighed heavily. She knew she really shouldn't. This man had practically ignored her for a week, after sharing the most mind-boggling night with her and his best friend.

"One question I need to ask," she finally said, eyelids drooping to shield her expression. "You and Carly...did you two ever...."

"No," he said quickly, his grip on her arm tightening rea.s.suringly as he compelled her to meet his deep, stirring gaze. "Like I said earlier, we just happened to meet online on a forum we run for the club. She was curious about the lifestyle and when she found out I was a dom, wanted to find out more. So I decided we meet up but there was never anything romantic or s.e.xual between us. When she hooked up with Ash and Byron, I was happy that she found exactly what she was looking for - some excitement in her life."

"Like me, huh?" Brooke said with a self-mocking laugh. "Though I guess I should be grateful you took the extra effort in my case. Too bad you got bored, huh?"

"Brooke," Sebastian said gruffly, as she withdrew her arm from his grip. Then he let out a sigh. "Look, let's just go somewhere private where we can talk. How about that coffee?"

Her lips twisted. "I'm not sure what a half-hour chat over coffee could ever hope to achieve, but okay. Let's go."

She went with Sebastian down to the trendy little coffee bar that was an hour from closing. Brooke tried to lie to herself that she wasn't relieved Sebastian had never had anything to do with Carly in a s.e.xual way. The range of Brooke's jealousy when it came to Sebastian was a surprise to even her. She never felt jealousy before. And yet, seeing Carly laughing and being cool with Sebastian had made her heart ache just a little.

They soon had their coffees steaming on the table between them and still Sebastian hadn't begun the conversation. When she finally managed to lift her head and hold his gaze, a slow smile crossed his lips.

"You look beautiful," he told her softly. "Especially when you're angry at me."

"You like having me mad at you?" she fired back with a thin smile, while her heart thrummed with pleasure at his words.

"Not for the wrong reasons," Sebastian said more soberly. "Not when you're thinking the worst of me."

"I don't," she whispered. She wrapped her palms around her coffee. "I wanted to, but then I thought about it and I told myself you must have your reasons for staying away."

"Yet every second wanting to be with you," he said. "And that got to me, hard. How I'd never wanted anything so bad in my life."

"Then why..." she began, then shook her head with a deprecatory laugh. "I may be stupid but I'm not blind. I guess it's pretty obvious why you chose to stay away."

"Is it?" Sebastian asked, his hand taking one of hers to cover it warmly in his grasp. Suddenly, Brooke couldn't breathe. But somehow managed to piece together her next sentence.

"Deep down, I was scared that you stayed away because I was lacking in some way. So I went back to the club last night because I didn't know how else to reach you. I found Jax and he offered to help me with my...fears. I asked him to teach me more. So I could be a better sub. So that you could be pleased with me."

"Is that what you thought - that you don't please me?"

His deep, rough voice made the tips of her nipples swell and tingle. She bit hard on her lip as her fingers shivered beneath his. "I didn't know what to think. After that one night and I didn't hear from you, I was so confused. I hated to feel like I failed."

"And I hate myself to think I put you through that," Sebastian said, his jaw tightening. "Part of me told myself that I needed you to be sure you knew what you wanted, and I didn't want to cloud your judgment so I gave you some s.p.a.ce to figure things out. Because this isn't a game, Brooke. With you, it's different. I can't just play dom a few nights a week anymore. That isn't what I want."

A small smile tilted the side of his lips and Brooke couldn't help another soft blush that swept her cheeks.

"Watching you with Jax last night...the light in your eyes, so full of trust. And then, seeing you blindfolded, gagged and bound while taking your training was such a turn on. That's what I want with you, all the time. And it freaked me out. That I wanted too much."

Brooke's head flew up as she gaped at him. "You were there last night?"

He nodded with a wry smile. "Jax must have told you I went on a business trip. Well, I couldn't stand it anymore and cut things short to come back a few days earlier. The first place I went was the club, and that's where I saw you and Jax dancing. Two of you together...for one moment I felt I'd blown my chance with you. That I'd let my indecision push you away. But for the most part, I felt glad seeing you with Jax; it just felt right."

"Yes, it did," Brooke replied softly. "But it wasn't...complete. Not without you."

At her words, Sebastian leaned in swiftly, cupping the back of her neck and sealing her lips with his. It was just for a few seconds but the kiss felt like it lasted a lifetime.

"I'm glad you think that way," Sebastian said thickly, his temple resting against hers for a moment. The scent of fragrant coffee filled the air between them; heady. "I'm glad you realize you don't have to choose. That if you wanted, you could have us both."

Once again, Brooke's lashes fluttered to conceal her deepest thoughts as she asked, "Have you and Jax...always shared a sub?"

"No, just once," he told her. "Her name was Shannon and she was a submissive working at the club. One night she asked to play with us both, and it was then Jax and I discovered we played well off each other. We found that we could easily catch what the other might miss, and were able to give double the excitement to our sub and ourselves. That was when Jax and I considered that this was something we would want long term. But Shannon couldn't withstand that much pressure. Whatever her reasons, it ended soon enough and Jax and I hadn't bothered looking ever since."

Sebastian lifted her knuckles to his lips to brush like silk over her skin. "That's why everything about you blew my mind. When I'd just given up wanting that kind of life, you showed up and it all clicked in place perfectly. Almost too much. Yes, I wanted you and Jax did, too. Unlike me he had no real hesitation. But beneath it all, I kept telling myself you just got into the whole BDSM lifestyle and rushing you into something deeper might frighten you...push you away."

"I understand and you're right. It scared me at first...it really did," Brooke whispered as she felt the heat of Sebastian's lips on her fingers; sensual and thrilling. "But it wasn't enough to keep me from trying again. Despite my fears, I let Jax take me through the scene with the gag, blindfold and restraints. And in those moments, I discovered I never felt more free."

Her breathy voice faded as she recalled every moment of last night; the hours of pleasure-pain as she was lost in the darkness of her blindfold. The pleasure of Jax's dominant touch that teased and tortured her along with all the other implements he used. He'd held her off from coming as long as possible; making her earn it. And then finally, with continuous slapping on her c.l.i.t with a leather crop he'd sent her shuttling into bliss. It had been one of the longest, most intense o.r.g.a.s.ms she'd ever had.

And yet through it all she'd known that it would have been tenfold more intense and beautiful if Sebastian had been there with them. Little had she guessed he'd been watching all along.

"Last night made me realize I'm strong enough to go after what I want if I just let go of my inhibitions and insecurities for once in my life," Brooke finally said, voice only slightly quivery. She didn't want to seem like she was pushing, or talking Sebastian into believing she was ready. Instead, she wanted to prove it to him. "That's why I made up my mind...that I didn't want to stop my lessons there. Ever since I discovered this side of myself, I want to give it a chance to blossom and I know that you and Jax are the ones I need...the ones I desire above all others."

Sebastian's hold on her fingers tightened fractionally and the blaze in his eyes flew higher. "What are you saying?" he growled. "Tell me what it is you want."

Just one look from him had her secret folds twitching. Brooke had to quell the heat pooling moistly within her thighs, her cheeks equally hot as she went on, "I'm saying... I want you and Jax. And I'm willing to entrust you both with my...my submission. And if after a month you decide I please you, then I..."

Once again her lips felt the pulsing pressure of Sebastian's lips on hers.

Brooke wasn't sure where she'd found the nerve to speak out the way she had. Offering herself up that way...she should have more pride! And yet, being able to reveal her darkest desires without shame gave her the greatest feeling of empowerment she'd ever felt. Then came Sebastian's kiss that sped away the last of her constraints.

Her confidence returned, she gazed up at him with eyes that held more than a hint of twinkle. "I take it you intend to take me up on my...proposition?"

"I think I'd be a fool not to," growled Sebastian, uncaring of anyone who could be present as he pressed once again on her full, moist bottom lip. "I'd never forgive myself - and neither would Jax, if I turn my back on what we all want so much."

Brooke felt her heart could burst right then with all the hope and excitement surging through her system. As Sebastian pulled her up to her feet, she could feel that his excitement matched hers even though it was just that piercing blue gaze that darkened almost to black.

"We're leaving. Now." he said thickly, brushing a thumb over her swollen trembling lips. "We need to talk to Jax."

"Jax...is waiting for us?" Brooke asked with widened eyes, belly flipping over with joy.

Sebastian gave a crooked smile. "I think his parting words went along the lines of 'if you don't bring Brooke back with you, then don't even bother coming back.' And considering the fact we both happen to be living together, I don't think I'd like to be left homeless just yet."

His humorous words made Brooke's lips widen in a foolish grin. She felt warmed to the bone knowing that they truly wanted this as much as she did. Sebastian quickly paid for the coffee and they left, Sebastian virtually breaking the speed limit when driving them to their destination...

When they arrived, she found it wasn't the club as she'd expected, but at a beautiful-looking loft Sebastian and Jax shared. It was situated in a building that had originally been a warehouse and had since been converted. Inside there were large windows, with a gorgeous fireplace and some of the original brick showing quaintly in some parts of the walls.

Despite its industrial feel the interior felt warm and cozy. Every item was simple and functional yet no less stylish. As much as its modern and minimal elements gave it the look of a bachelor pad, Brooke still felt its welcoming warmth. Which was all the more p.r.o.nounced by Jax's look of pleasure when he opened the door and found her standing there with Sebastian.

Without even requiring an explanation, he drew her into his arms. The warmth of his strong embrace made her feel treasured, and at the same time, desired with hard, raw heat and wicked pa.s.sion. Then his lips found hers as they kissed, really kissed for the very first time.

It was like being devoured in ravenous flames. To feel his desire, coursing like a tide of pa.s.sion between them filled her with aching arousal.

Brooke was more than a little out of breath when Jax pulled away moments later. When she turned to the side it was to see Sebastian, with a corresponding look of raw desire in his eyes that she could see in Jax's.

And suddenly it felt so much like a dream she never hoped it would come to an end and she'd wake up, cold and alone. Now, here - with Sebastian and Jax she felt like she was where she belonged. It wasn't a chance she'd ever take for granted; telling herself she'd hold on to this double chance at happiness - for as long as she could...

Brooke slipped beneath the hot, reviving shower with a deep sigh of contentment. She closed her eyes, letting the spray sluice over her. Slowly the aches from her body slipped away, leaving a renewed sensual impulse that had her skimming her sensitive areas in circular motions of enticement. Her nipples, her belly, her hips and the puffy mound of her s.e.x...making her wish she hadn't left her two lovers asleep in bed.

But right then, as if conjured by her thoughts Jax appeared, broad and hugely solid through the shower door, that lethal, knowing smile on his handsome face. His dark hair was messy and loose from sleep, giving him a rough and s.e.xy look that stole away her breath.

He kissed her mouth with hunger, just as Sebastian slipped in quietly behind her, his large hands palming her t.i.ts as his lips molded to her neck. The instant excitement they brought to her even months after she'd moved in with them, made her tremble. She'd never get used to the way they made her feel.

"I didn't mean to wake you both up with my shower," she half-gasped as Jax's lips peeled from hers.

"You didn't," Jax said, eyes teasing. "It just didn't seem fair to let you have all the fun."

Brooke couldn't help but purr in agreement.

Now four masculine hands replaced hers on her body, the echoes of sensation resounding louder, sending vibes of pleasure through her senses.

Her b.r.e.a.s.t.s were fondled and teased, while their fingers filled her p.u.s.s.y. Her own touch, small and eager played over every delicious male muscle, feeling her men shudder with pleasure at her bold caresses, stroking and jacking their turgid members. Lips suckled at her nipples, making her spine arch in stunning bliss.

When the fire raged to a consuming roar, none of them could wait. Strong hands on her hips hoisted her up so her legs linked around Jax's waist. His thick c.o.c.k, hard as steel easily pierced her b.u.t.tery sheathe.

"Oh! Jax," she gasped, one arm clutched around his neck. At this angle he b.u.t.ted to the innermost neck of her channel, propelling her ecstasy even higher.

Once Jax was implanted to the hilt inside her, Sebastian didn't waste another second, as the tip of his equally big, hard c.o.c.k nudged at Brooke's sphincter, his hands spreading her cheeks for easy access. Brooke hardly let out a breath, waiting for that moment when Sebastian, too, would fill her to the brim with c.o.c.k.

"Is this what you want, beautiful?" Sebastian teased in her ear, making her shiver in so many ways.

"So much it hurts," was her panted response. "I never feel complete until I have you both deep inside. Please, Sebastian!"

With a low chuckle he thrust strongly, and Brooke let out a quivery scream as her a.n.a.l channel was stretched with a honey-sweet invasion. She was able to twist her torso and reach for Sebastian lips for a deep kiss, her free arm wrapping around his neck. Now she had both her lovers locked within her and she held on tight to them both as they all began to move in a well-practiced rhythm.

Deep, velvet strokes. First slow...then faster. Harder. The spray of the shower brought on a steamy mist, cloaking all three lovers in a dreamy, carnal haze.

Ever submissive to the pa.s.sion of her ardent males, Brooke reveled in their powerful l.u.s.t. Her heart thundered, twin sensations from the thrusting shafts making her cry out till she was hoa.r.s.e. Held firmly in place between them, her lovers slammed into her from the front and back.

Their lovemaking was as fierce as it had been from the very first time. Brooke could still remember when all this had been brand new territory to her. Being claimed by two lovers; to have them fill her full, claiming her as their own...coupled with so many other wicked thrills her lovers never tired of teaching her.

The dark enticement of such a pa.s.sion was ever present, and Brooke knew deep down it would always be like this. Unchained, melodious and pure.

As her walls began to quake all around the length of their c.o.c.ks, it was easy for her lovers to tell how close she was. They could read her body like a book, as she could do with them. Her men continued to pump inside and out of her, unleashing the full force of their l.u.s.t and pa.s.sion.

A ceaseless moan sprung from Brooke's throat as she was hurled toward the very pinnacle of pleasure. Torrent after torrent hit her, and after that there was no way to hold back as she was left quaking. Her o.r.g.a.s.m billowed through her like monumental sails.

Her lovers urged her on, telling her to keep coming, till she had nothing left. To her deepest gratification, both her lovers soon reached their peak, making her holes begin to stream with their c.u.m. They growled words of love and fulfilled pa.s.sion in her ear and lifted the sensual wonder to an even higher purpose.

Once finished with their shower, her men dried her off with tender hands. When Sebastian rested his hand on her shoulder, and Brooke couldn't help but smile at the look of possessiveness that crossed those devil-may-care blue eyes. "You're stunning."

It felt like so long ago that she had first walked into their home, cautiously optimistic, but still unsure of herself. When they had asked her to move in, she had quickly agreed, excited at what the future held for her and the two dangerously handsome lovers.

It had been a natural, seamless progression and they knew they had chosen well. Now as their woman and submissive, Brooke knew a fulfillment that renewed each pa.s.sing day. Their unique relationship had grown and strengthened so very quickly, and just as she'd dreamed, they had a committed relationship that gave Brooke everything she needed...everything she could ever ask for.

She knew she had finally found a place in which she truly belonged.
