It was then she realized that she’d in fact questioned Cole’s command. She lowered her head, thought better of it and then raised her gaze to meet Cole’s and whatever rebuke he might offer.
He smiled and he reached out to touch her cheek. “So expressive,” he murmured. “Your thoughts are reflected in your every expression.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Don’t be. You’re beautiful to watch, and it’s a credit to Micah that you look to him for permission. You remember well who you belong to.”
His words made her ache. More than anything she wanted to belong to Micah. Not just on a temporary basis for some sexual fantasy they played. She wanted forever.
“And now you’re sad,” Cole murmured. “Why?”
Startled, she focused back on him. Her lips trembled, and she begged him with her eyes not to pursue it any further.
His gaze softened and then he turned and pulled her to the middle of the room once more. There was an apparatus there they’d obviously brought in while she slept. It was much like the one she’d been tied to the first night she was flogged, but it was shorter. Much shorter.
Cole pushed her to her knees and motioned her forward underneath the beam.
“Arms up,” he ordered.
She raised her wrists over her head, and he wrapped the strips of leather around them, binding them together and finally to the beam. She was forced up, her knees just grazing the floor as her upper body was stretched.
Then Cole gathered her hair in his hand and threaded it between her neck and her raised arm so that it hung over her shoulder and down her front, leaving her back bare.
She heard the snap of leather, knew that Cole was working the whip in his hand. He was good. Very good. She knew it firsthand.
“I’m going to mark you, Angelina. Not just a red welt here and there. It will hurt. It will be beautiful. You can stop me, but I don’t think you will. I want to see just how far I can take you.”
She closed her eyes and shivered, her stomach clenching in nervous apprehension.
The first lash caught her unaware. It was like a blowtorch across her back. Wicked. Hot. Fierce.
She bowed her body forward, seeking escape from the cruel sensation, but almost as quickly as she did, another lash fell, and she cried out.
Oddly, the sound wasn’t harsh. It wasn’t ugly. What she thought would sound like agony, came out as a breathy sigh of intense pleasure.
Rick and Chris gathered to her right, absorbed in the display before them.
A third lash fell, and this time the cry came out garbled and choked.
And then Micah was in front of her, his hands cupping her face as he pressed his cock to her mouth. He tapped her jaw, a simple command for her to open to him.
He was past her lips and deep in her throat in a second. He held her in place, a prisoner, for she couldn’t rear back. The lash awaited her there. She couldn’t move forward because she couldn’t take him any deeper. She was their captive. Their pleasure.
Micah fucked her mouth with hard, deep strokes. He pistoned in and out as if he were fucking her pussy.
Another lash seared across her flesh, forcing her onto his erection. Micah caught her head and held himself deep, his hips humping forward almost spasmodically.
They fell into a rhythm. He thrust. Cole lashed. She made a choking sound around Micah’s cock, and he gripped her tighter until he was fucking her fast and furious.
“Holy shit,” Rick breathed out. “That’s fucking hot.”
“How the hell is she taking it?” Chris asked in awe.
Micah withdrew, put his hand on her forehead to tilt her head back, and then hot semen splashed onto her neck and slipped down her body and over her breasts.
She sucked in air through her nose as she breathed through the fiery pain that Cole had inflicted. She didn’t dare relax, because she knew another would come.
Only when Chris shoved his way forward, his huge cock fisted in his hand, did Cole administer another searing lash. She arched forward just as Chris shoved his cock into her mouth.
Her lips stretched around the head, and her cheeks puffed outward as she sought to take him in. She was in for a rough ride. He was hard. He lacked the finesse of Micah, and it was obvious he was so turned on that he was nearly mindless in his actions.
He fucked her mouth brutally, his groans mixing with the slap of leather and her muted cries of pain.
Amazingly, her clit throbbed. Her breasts swelled, and her entire body was wound so tight that she knew she’d climax soon, and no one had so much as touched her pussy.
“Take me,” Chris said hoarsely.
He tilted her head up, and he rose up on tiptoe to angle downward. She choked and coughed. He only fucked harder.
The lashes fell, fast and furious. She twisted and undulated her body. She sucked as he powered into her throat. She wanted to come. She was frantic. She danced, her body jumping and writhing. Mindless.
When Chris ripped himself out of her mouth, she whimpered in protest. His cum coated the front of her body, just as Micah’s had. It ran in rivulets over her skin, warm, soft, evidence of their passion.
