Karen—’
    ‘Karen is fine,’ he cut in.
    ‘Really?’
    ‘Yes. We talked about it this morning. You’re an idiot and you never should have done it, but she’d rather forget it ever happened.’
    ‘Wow. Okay. I guess if she says she’s fine . . .’
    ‘Water under the bridge. Listen, can I ask you something?’
    Life and enthusiasm returned to Pete’s voice. ‘Sure, anything.’
    Dan paused, chewing his bottom lip. He had to ask now. Straight away before he could lose his nerve. ‘I need a favour.’ Silence. ‘Pete?’
    ‘Yeah, I’m here. I just . . . lately your questions or favours get me in a shit load of trouble.’
    ‘Not this time. This you’ll like.’
    ‘This? And what’s ‘this’?’
    Dan fiddled with the hem of his shirt, tugging on a loose thread until it snapped. ‘I want you to join me and Karen tonight. Just for a little while. Let her boss you around a bit. You know, like I do to her.’
    More silence. This time Dan couldn’t even hear breathing from the other end. He felt a stab of panic. ‘Hello? Pete?’ Nothing. He checked the phone. Frowned when he saw the call was still connected. ‘Pete, you need to say something. Are you there?’
    ‘You’ve cleared this with Karen?’ His voice was small. Child-like.
    ‘Yes. She wants a male sub to join the Library.’
    ‘Like those other girls? No way.’
    ‘Don’t worry. No one will be flogging or spanking you. She wants to mess around a bit. You know, blindfolds, handcuffs, feathers. Ann Summers sort of stuff. Nothing hard core.’
    ‘Right. And she wants me?’
    ‘Better you than some creep off the Internet. Besides, you’re a friend. We both know where we stand with you.’
    ‘I’m not sure. After last night—’
    Dan scoffed. ‘Don’t worry about last night. I told you, it’s sorted. In fact, don’t even mention it again. And you’ll be doing us both a favour. This is what she wants.’
    ‘Really?’
    He sighed. ‘To my eternal confusion, yes.’
    Just talking to Pete calmed him. The nagging worries of earlier faded in the face of planning what he would need.
    She can get it out of her system and it will be over. Much better with Pete than some creep who just wants to get into her knickers .
    ‘I don’t know what to say,’ mumbled Pete.
    ‘Say you’ll do it. Trust me, you’ll have a great time. You told me a few weeks back you wanted to try some of this ‘kinky shit.’ And you were whining about me sharing. Now you can see for yourself.’
    ‘Okay.’ A little quiver filled Pete’s voice as he spoke. Dan knew his friend well enough to recognise excitement. ‘I’ll do it. What do I need? Condoms?’
    ‘No. And don’t get any ideas. Just because we’re playing doesn’t mean there will be sex. We’re just scratching an itch for Karen, understand?’
    ‘Right.’
    ‘Good. Come to our place at eight.’
    ‘I will. Thanks mate. And thanks for clearing up that business last night too. I don’t know what you said but if she’s forgiven me it must have been good.’
    ‘Don’t mention it. I’ll see you later.’
    He hung up, already planning the evening ahead.
    Getting Karen all fired up was the most fun of any play session, then leaving her wanting while other members of the Library played. It heightened everything until both of them wanted nothing more than to explode in orgasmic bliss. Reaching that point and then telling her what he had in store would be perfect.
    He could almost see the pleasure in her eyes.
    She smiled at him from across the bar. He waved back, then a twinge from stomach level reminded him of his need for the bathroom. He used the facilities quickly, still tweaking his plans. By the time he returned to the bar, the plan was set in his mind. All he had to do was surprise Karen with his plan after dinner. She would be so excited.
    The thought of it made him groan aloud.
    On the way back he brushed passed the man with long hair like Robert’s. Broad shouldered and slim at the waist,
