It was a sign of trust. Julian leaving his sub while she was bound with Cole. But she knew Cole would take care of her and Julian knew the same.
“Yes,” Cole replied.
“Good. Let me just get her ready.” Julian stood and moved out of her eyesight. A large hand rested on her thigh then the bottom of her T-shirt was tugged up and over her ass. She was still wearing the G-string, but it didn’t hide anything. She gulped. Holy shit.
“What do you think of this, Cole?” Julian asked.
Cole moved from her eyesight as well and she tensed, knowing he was looking at her.
His throat cleared. “I can see my imagination didn’t do you any justice, little bit. This ass is everything.”
She flushed with happiness.
Cole moved back around to crouch in front of her. “How are you doing, little bit?”
“I’m good.” Sir. She left off that part, not knowing how he’d react.
“You’re still happy with this? For me to be here?”
“Yes,” she breathed out, hoping he could see how much she wanted him here, watching as she got her ass spanked.
He looked up as she heard footsteps. His face darkened slightly. “A paddle? Can she take that?”
“Keira, can you handle a paddle?” Julian asked.
“Yes, Sir,” she replied.
“Do you like having your butt spanked?”
“Oh, yes, Sir.”
Cole gave her a surprised look, and she grinned up at him.
“She’s been paddled before,” Julian explained to Cole. “Although that was for pleasure not punishment. She might find this experience a little different.”
Keira pouted.
Cole raised an eyebrow at that. He still looked slightly uncomfortable, but she could also see the interest in his gaze. She’d bet everything she owned he was hard.
“She’s usually a very good girl, but she likes a little bit of pain with her pleasure.”
“Good to know.” Cole studied her for her reaction. Whatever he saw seemed to reassure him. “I’d like to kiss her. Is that all right with both of you?”
She sucked in a breath. She liked that he’d asked permission. At the same time, she didn’t want him hesitating.
“Yes,” Julian added.
“You’re all right with me touching both of you?” He glanced up at Julian.
“Yes. I mean, I’ll tell you if there is anything I don’t like,” Julian stumbled slightly over his words.
“Good,” Cole murmured. “Keira? Are you all right with me kissing you? Touching you everywhere? Touching your husband?”
“Are you going to kiss him?” Keira asked.
There was a moment of silence. Shit.
“Perhaps I will. Is that a problem?”
