Free Monroe, Marla - Their Reluctant Submissive [Knights in Black Leather 1] (Siren Publishing Ménage Everlasting) by Marla Monroe Page A

looked up at Marx and found his face held a slight smile to her surprise. He kissed her cheek. Then he leaned closer and whispered in her ear.
    “I can’t wait to get you all to ourselves later, kitten. I’ll be thinking about you all night.”
    Kelly shivered before turning back toward the front where the other two men were busy setting up a booth. She hurried toward them, noticing several other booths in various stages being erected around the outsides of the room. She located the tattoo and piercing booth just two down from Steve’s. She was seriously thinking about a tattoo as well as getting her nipples pierced. It seemed crazy not to have the piercings when she made intimate jewelry for both pierced and nonpierced body parts.
    Steve and Ben immediately drew her into the ruckus when she walked up. They spent the next hour putting together the displays and arranging inventory in case they needed it. Kelly was astonished that she had one entire corner for her stuff and she was supposed to man the area the entire night, taking orders and fitting her pieces.
    “Kelly, your stuff has been steadily selling since you started creating it. I want to enlarge your inventory and have you consult with customers to create custom pieces. You’ve got an amazing talent, honey. Beginning with this show, you now get a percentage of the sales of your pieces.” He quoted the amount, and she had to sit down before she passed out.
    It could potentially help her move out of her horrible apartment much sooner than she had originally thought. Excitement sped up her heart rate even as worry sent it fluttering in her chest. She had to take several deep breaths before she could settle down to spread out her things. What happened if Marx and Jackson didn’t want her to work anymore? Some Doms didn’t like their subs to work outside while others required it to help with expenses.
    She gritted her teeth. She wasn’t their submissive or their slave. She wasn’t going to allow anyone to dictate what she could and couldn’t do again. Aggravated that she had even allowed herself to worry about it, Kelly quickly lost herself in preparing for the promised crowd. Steve had warned her that there would be hundreds of people coming through the club that night. People from all over the Perkins City area came to these open house nights.
    There would be no free play going on in the club that night. Instead, there would be tours of the club along with scheduled demonstrations of various things such as shibari or kinbaku, the art of binding and rope bondage. There would also be demonstrations on everything from flogging to the single tail along with the uses of the various props and devices within the club. Despite having been to the ones in the Dallas and Houston areas, she was curious to see if the one here was like them.
    She looked up several times while she arranged her inventory to see one or both of the Callahan men watching her. It didn’t unnerve her as she had feared it would. Instead, she felt safe, looked after. Before she could examine those feelings too closely, the doors opened and the club began to fill with people from all over the state and in every form of costume she could imagine. Some were so revealing that she wasn’t sure how they had managed to get permission to wear it on a public day.
    For the next several hours, Kelly was crazy busy. Things seemed to be just as hectic for Steve and Ben. It didn’t take long before the majority of her inventory was gone. She already had four special orders drawn up and was presently going over a design process with another couple for a set of nipple clamps, belly ring, and clit ring when she spotted Marx and Jackson moving into the tent. Her pulse sped up, but she made herself concentrate on the couple in front of her and finish up the paperwork on their design.
    As soon as they walked off, Jackson and Marx claimed her attention, filling up her small space as no one else had so far that night.
