Chapter 4
Dane felt his heart stop and knot tight at the tale this beautiful angel had just shared. Looking from her bowed head to his lover, he saw that Merlin appeared just as shocked. She wasn’t just a virgin sub. She was damned near a virgin. How the hell had she ended up on Esoteria’s auction block?
Pulling her closer, he tucked her head under his chin and wrapped both arms tighter around her.
She lifted her head. “Please don’t hate me,” she whispered. “Don’t take back your donation because I’m a dud. I’ll do whatever you want. You can even whip me if you want.” Tears glistened on her eyelashes, and Dane felt his heart shred.
“Shh, little one. No one is going to whip you. And you’re not a dud.” Dane pushed her head back down against his chest.
Merlin’s expression and the growing bulge in his lap told Dane the other man didn’t want to return their pretty little virgin sub, either. His own cock was painfully hard and begging to teach this sweet angel about men and sex. Didn’t she feel it pressing hard against her hip? Seeing a passing sub trainee, he lifted his hand for her attention.
“Yes, sir.”
“Please find Master T and Mistress J and tell them Master Dane would like a word as soon as they have a moment.”
“Yes, sir.” The trainee hurried off.
When the woman in his arms stiffened, he pressed his fingers into her skin. “Drink your water, angel. You, too, pet. We’ll go upstairs after I speak with Mistress Jenna and Master Taurus.”
“Don’t tell them."
He didn’t answer, just watched her until she lifted the water bottle and drained it.
Dane watched Merlin finish his, as well. Then his beautifully trained lover took the two bottles and carried them back to the bar. Upon his return, Merlin nodded from the woman curled in Dane’s arms then toward the restrooms. Dane nodded and stood Sloan on her feet. He waited until Merlin took her hand before releasing his hold around her waist. “Go with Sir and use the restroom.”
“Yes, Master.”
Dane smiled as the two submissives headed to the restrooms. Though untried at anything, except what amounted to date rape, she was the perfect submissive. Though she had wanted to protest earlier, she’d paused, thought, and remained silent. To have her to hand over control of her body so easily was truly a special gift. A Master’s dream come true. Would she yield to Merlin, as well? Was this little virgin the woman they’d talked about, dreamt about? Was she the woman who would make their dynamic duo into a sexy triad?
His musings were interrupted when Jenna and Taurus arrived at the table from different directions. Jenna sat in the empty chair while Taurus stood with his back to the room. Tall and broad, he made an effective wall, providing a semblance of privacy to their conversation.
“What’s up, Dane?”
“Where the hell did you find Sloan?” Dane asked.
“What’s happened?” Jenna leaned forward, instantly concerned. “Is she all right?”
“When I asked her about what kind of experience she had, she told us her one and only fuck was practically rape after she’d had too much to drink. Not only is she a virgin sub, she’s might as well be a virgin. Now I want an answer. Where the hell did you find her?”
Dane watched as the two exchanged a look. They looked shocked, startled, and overly protective. They hadn’t known.
Taurus shook his head. “I’ll kill him. Whoever he is, he’s a dead man.”
“If she’d wanted you to kill him, she would have told us when it happened,” Jenna said before turning to Dane. “Sloan is our cousin. The sub we had lined up for this weekend backed out, and we talked her into it.”
“Why?” was the only question Dane could think to ask.

In the empty restroom, Sloan gave her reflection a stern talking to as she spent longer than necessary washing her hands. She wanted to do this and no one—not Jenna, not Taurus, not even Dane himself—would talk her out of experiencing the sex life of a sexual submissive. The fact that two men would be in charge instead of one was just frosting on the cake. Not only did she want this, she needed to spend the weekend as Dane and Merlin’s submissive.
She needed to feel, even if only for a few hours, that someone cared. Cared for her, about her, gave a shit that she was alive. Monday would come soon enough, and it would be back to figuring out how to pay the bills and survive. For now, she wanted to forget her sad, pathetic life and learn about sex and submission from her two gorgeous masters.
Merlin waited outside the restroom when she finally emerged. He leaned against the wall next to the door as if he’d been there awhile. Had she taken too long?
Straightening from the wall, he extended his left hand. When she lifted both hands so he could reconnect the cuffs, he shook his head. “We’ll wait a bit for that,” he said, taking her hand in his. The slide of his fingers between hers sent shivers to her core, and at once, her pussy was wet. Who knew that the skin between her fingers was an erogenous zone? Her nipples poked at the silk covering them, pushing for freedom. He smiled down at her. His dark chocolate gaze didn’t miss a thing, from her silent gasp to the peaked nipples.
He bent forward until his head was at the level of her nipples and took a long breath, as if he were smelling a flower. “Mmm, you smell delicious. I can’t wait to taste you. Soon, my angel. Very soon my tongue will be tasting your cream as you come. Then I’m going to fuck you until you scream.”
“Won’t Master Dane have something to say about that?”
“I’m sure he will. But it is my birthday.”
When he straightened, she saw an impressive erection pressing hard against
