Free Working Out the Kinks (Chain) by Kara Winters

direction and I started to stand to leave. Eric grabbed me by my wrist and I froze in place, still half kneeling.
    “Your reward is a little shy, apparently,” he explained to Whitney. “I want you to keep your blindfold on instead.”
    “Yes, Sir,” Whitney answered and then placed her hands back behind her head. Eric leaned back and his gaze moved back and forth between us.
    “Whitney, you’re to move to your right and kiss your reward.”
    He had to be joking , I yelled in my mind. But I wasn’t given a chance to react, because Whitney had already reached out and brought my lips to hers as she held the back of my neck. Her mouth was soft, much softer than my experience with the several boys I had ever kissed in my life. She was careful to touch me, noticing my stiffened response to her touch. I closed my eyes and began to kiss her back since I wanted her rewarded as much as she did.
    I gasped lightly when I felt her tongue reach out to taste mine and heard her moan softly.
    “How does your reward taste, Whitney?”
    “Very good, Sir,” she replied, pressed against my mouth. My eyes had closed as we continued to kiss without restraint. I raised my hands and held her head softly to guide her, teasing her playfully. I could feel Whitney’s smile and it made me happy in return.
    I heard a groan and opened my eyes. Eric palmed himself slowly as he watched us.
    “I think it’s time you took off your blindfold, Whitney,” he surprised me in saying.
    I tried to keep her mouth to mine, hoping more kissing would stop her and please him, but it was too late. We broke away from one another but there was nothing that I could do. She obeyed our Master and removed her blindfold, her eyes growing wide with shock as she took in the sight of me.

 

     
    “Oh my god! Lexi?” Whitney shrieked and fell back, catching herself with her hands. She looked at Eric and seemed to realize that she had lost her posture and then rushed to regain it once more.
    “Well, well, well,” Eric clucked. “This is interesting.”
    Whitney looked down at the floor.
    “Why don’t you relax, Whitney, and I’ll give you girls a ten-minute break while I get some things ready.”
    Whitney glanced back up and nodded her head before Eric stood up. He leaned down and kissed the top of her head first, and then mine before leaving to disappear down the hallway.
    “What is going on?” she whispered with a strained voice. I could see the panic in her eyes and hear the shock in her words. She dropped her hands and balled her legs up against her chest, covering herself from me. I looked away to give her modesty.
    “I wanted to make sure that you were okay,” I muttered. “I didn’t know what else to do.”
    “What else to do? I told you today I was fine,” she exclaimed.
    “I know that, but this happened a little over a week ago, when you weren’t talking to me.”
    “How did you convince him to do this? Why are you doing this? Does Master Eric know what you’re doing?” Her questions came out almost as one they were so crammed together.
    “I did this because I love you. You were my best friend growing up, and when I saw how you had changed, I thought you needed help getting out of something,” I said, stealing a glance up at her.
    Whitney’s face softened, concern washing across her features.
    “This is crazy, you know that?” she said with a light chuckle, “You convinced Master to take you on just so you could get me out.”
    I began chewing at my lip but when I realized what I was doing, I quickly stopped.
    “That was the plan, before things…”
    I didn’t know how to tell her.
    “Before things what?” Whitney pressed.
    Our gazes met and I started to fidget with my hands, “Before I started to…”
    She slowly caught on to what I was trying to tell her. Whitney dropped her hands away and forgot about her nudity. It didn’t bother me in the slightest to see her like that anymore. She scooted closer and it was my turn to
