Jed asked softly.
    “I don’t know. The lights flickered, and all went dark again. But I knew where my closet was. So I grabbed my teddy bear and quietly went into the closet.”
    The next thing she knew, she was being lifted into Ry lap. Jed cuddled up against her back. Their loving embrace soothed her fears.
    “You’re safe, little one,” Ry whispered, his fingers wiping away the tears on her cheeks.
    “We’re here for you, Kitty Kat.” Jed rubbed her shoulders.
    “I don’t know how long I sat in the closet, curled up in the back, trying to be quiet. So afraid.” She burrowed closer to Ry’s chest. “Mom found me after calling my name several times.”
    “Why didn’t they call the sheriff?” Ry asked.
    Katie gave a half-laugh with a hiccup. “Because there was no sign of anyone ever getting into the house.” She sniffled. “Mom thought it was just my imagination. But I know someone was there.”
    “Of course you did.” Jed hugged her.
    “I can’t stand total darkness. I still sleep with a night light on.”
    “I’m so glad you told us.” Ry kissed her temple.
    “Why didn’t you say something when I put the blindfold on?” Jed asked.
    “I didn’t think it would be so bad.” She sniffled. “Then I panicked.”
    “We hit a silent trigger,” Ry said.
    Jed leaned back, grabbed the tissue box, and pulled several out before handing them to Ry.
    “What’s that?” She scrunched up her nose, trying to figure out what they were talking about, but the knots in her stomach were slowly going away.
    “It’s something buried in the psyche that you weren’t conscious of, or you would have told us.” Ry took the tissues from Jed.
    “It’s okay, sweetie. It wasn’t your fault.” Jed put his hand under her chin and lifted her face.
    Ry used two to remove all traces of her tears. Then he held a new tissue up to her nose. “Blow,” he said.
    Her cheeks flushed, but she did as he said. Ry disposed of the tissues in the bedside bin before gazing down into Katie’s face.
    “Thank you for trusting us with your fear.”
    “But you know we’re still going to punish you for talking back and for the unauthorized orgasms,” Jed informed her.
    Her body shook, but it was more from anticipation than fear now.
    “I still want to use the blindfold, can you do that?” Ry asked.
    “I’m willing to try.” The hesitation in her voice made her wince.
    “If it bothers you too much then say red. This is why we have safewords.”
    She nodded.
    “Jed’s right. We will always respect your usage of your safewords.” Ry scooted to the edge of the bed and stood with Katie in his arms. He carried her back to the bench.
    Within minutes they had her fully restrained. Jed held the blindfold. “Okay?”
    “Yes, Sir Jed.
    Jed slipped it over her eyes. And while Katie inhaled sharply, she didn’t panic. Maybe talking about it had helped. It didn’t mean she was totally comfortable with her loss of sight, but she could rely on her hearing. Besides, she knew who was in the room with her.
    “Here we go, subbie,” Ry said.
    Her breasts were enveloped by warm mouths and she resisted the urge to cry out her safeword. Ry and Jed, she reminded herself. Their tongues toyed with her nipples, licking and sucking until they were completely hard and aching.
    She let out a moan of protest when they lifted their heads and cold air made her nipples tighten more.
    “So beautiful,” Jed murmured.
    “Our beautiful subbie.” Ry said before he pinched her nipple.
    Cold metal closed over her nipple, and she let out a small squeak.
    “Easy, little one,” Ry said. “It’s just nipple clamps.”
    She ground her teeth together when they clamped her second nipple. She began panting. The clamps weren’t too tight, but damn if didn’t cause a straight line of fire from her nipples to her clit. Two pair of hands caressed her navel, moving south. She sucked in her belly.
    What were they planning? She shook her head from side to side,
