promises. I’ve waited a long time for her.”
The Master inclined his head politely. “And I’m honored to be a part of it.”
Lexi stood still, expecting his hands to come out and grab for her breasts, but he touched her face. With a single finger he traced the line of her jaw from just below her ear to her chin. Lucas’s hands were on her waist. He slid his fingers under the sides of her silky thong and pushed them off her hips. He helped her balance as she stepped out of them and faced the Master without a stitch of clothing on. Master A ran his hand across her cheek and nose and through her hair, like a blind man memorizing the planes of her face, experiencing through touch.
He moved his hands down to her neck and shoulders. He caressed her arms, and his fingers tangled with hers. He turned her palms up and examined her fingers, touching the deep calluses she bore on her right thumb pad and the middle finger beside her nail. The damn finger was grooved because she’d spent so many years holding a pencil, and then a pen. She’d switched to a laptop, but the indention had never gone away. He pulled her writing hand into both of his, and suddenly she felt precious. She was enveloped in his warmth and care. She stood before the man utterly naked, and he was fascinated with her hand. He couldn’t know how that hand was a symbol of everything she was and everything she’d lost.
When he pulled it to his lips, Lexi shuddered as he kissed her skin. It felt, for the briefest of moments, like he was worshipping something infinitely precious and worthy.
He wasn’t anything she’d expected.
She turned her eyes to find Lucas standing at Master A’s side. There was no jealousy on his face, just a slight, indulgent smile.
“She is beautiful, Lucas,” the Master said, gently allowing her hand to drop.
“She is the most beautiful woman in the world.” Lucas had said it so many times, but this time, with both their eyes on her, she felt like it.
“I agree,” Master A said, and that glorious dimple made an appearance. “Unfortunately, she’s also a bit of a brat. What do we do to bratty little subs in The Club, Lucas?”
Lucas’s smile became distinctly predatory. “All manner of dirty, nasty things, Sir.”
Master A sat down in the chair Lucas had provided. He stretched his long, strong body in that rinky-dink folding chair and patted his lap. “Why don’t we start with the basics? Over my knee, sub. You owe me ten for cursing and another five for questioning me.”
Lexi took a deep breath. She was almost dizzy from the quick change. One minute the men were soft, sweet, and worshipful. Now they were ready to spank her. She suddenly remembered the crowd. Damn . She was in front of fifty people buck naked and about to get a spanking that, if she suspected right, was not going to be anything like Lucas’s. And yet she found herself placing her body over Master A’s lap. Lexi closed her eyes and hoped she would survive the experience.
Chapter Five
Aidan nearly sighed as Lexi placed her soft, sexy little body over his knee. His dick was an iron poker pressing against his leathers. He’d been rock hard all day, but his erection reached epic proportions the minute they had walked into the room.
She was shaking slightly as she positioned herself facing down over his lap. Such a sweet bundle of femininity. He’d seen her insecurity when he’d ordered her to strip, but he couldn’t resist. It had been so long since he’d been close to her, his skin against hers. He needed to see her again, all of her. She was as perfect as he’d remembered. Glorious round breasts tipped with dusky pink nipples. Generous hips he’d loved to grip as he’d fucked into her tight little pussy. If they had been alone, he would have ordered her to spread her legs and present her pussy to him. An image of that one perfect night flooded his brain. He’d shoved his cock into Lexi’s wet pussy and pulled out to offer Lucas a
