Leap was a good outlet for their energy because they could secure it during the off hours. Jade’s passion for the wild stunts and obstacles had spread. Watching her share something she loved was an amazing experience.
Hannibal couldn’t wait to see her. They came bearing good news. It had devastated her when the loan she’d been hoping for from the bank had been declined because of lack of collateral. His Brothers had voted and agreed to give her the money she needed for the expansion.
When they’d first suggested it, she’d balked, not wanting to accept charity. But he’d explained how the Dark Sons invested in businesses all the time, and she’d listened. His Club would pay for the expansion in return for a 25% interest in her company. He was glad that she had seemed excited by the prospect, even if she was skeptical that his Brothers would want to invest in her gym. His favorite part of the deal was it would put her business under their protection, and allow them to spend resources to help in tough times.
He hoped that protection was never needed. Petrov had seemed to lose interest in Jade. Maybe it was because he was focusing his attention elsewhere, but this agreement meant they could continue to justify the cost and resources to protect the thing their woman loved.
Where was their little Jewel? Hannibal spotted Jade at the bottom of the Salmon Ladder in the center of the room. Cami was in front of her with the obstacle bar set on the bottom rung. Tek’s woman gripped it and hopped the metal up one rung. She swung wildly, trying to move it a second time, but it slipped and didn’t catch and she fell to the padded ground.
Jade smiled encouragingly at her. “It’s not only about strength.” Her voice was sweet to his ears. “It’s about getting a rhythm with the rocking of your body.” She settled the bar back on the bottom rung. “You need to rock your body and explode at exactly the right moment.”
Ink and he watched. They had heard tales of their Jewel and the Salmon Ladder. It looked like they were finally going to get to see her in action.
Jade jumped up and gripped the bar. “Now watch my body on the backswing, notice where in the motion I pull the bar up and get it to the next level.”
It was startling the speed at which her body exploded into motion. The steady rock, click, rock, click as their beautiful, powerful woman worked her way all the way to the top of the ladder was like a metronome. She didn’t pause on any of the ten rungs.
She held steady for a moment, then dropped down onto the soft, thick mats. “Do you see what I mean?”
“Seeing what you mean and doing what you mean are two vastly different things.”
“I think that has to be the sexiest thing I’ve ever seen.” Ink’s voice must have been loud enough to carry, because Jade looked over with a smile.
She ran towards them at full speed and jumped into Ink’s arms. He spun her around as she gave him a kiss. Then she leaned backwards, letting Hannibal take her mouth with his.
“Dang, that is hotter than the desert sun in July,” Val cat-called at them, interrupting their kiss. “I guess the appearance of your hotties means the lesson’s over for today.” She smiled at the three of them and waved to the other Old Ladies to let them know it was time to leave.
“I didn’t know you guys were coming.” Jade smiled at both of them as she lowered herself to the ground.
“We have some good news for you.” Ink’s smile showed he was as excited as Hannibal was. “The Club approved the deal.”
Her jaw dropped, then she squealed and did a little jump. Hannibal loved how every emotion was always clear in everything their woman did. True to her word, the day they claimed her, she now practiced an almost extreme form of honesty.
Occasionally, she would hesitate briefly when they asked her a question that she found embarrassing or when the answer might upset them. But even then, she told them exactly what she thought in the end. It was a wonderful and refreshing part of their life.
She created a perfect balance between Ink and him. His Brother had finally gotten to show her his whips last week, and she’d enjoyed every kiss of the leather. At the end of the intense scene, she had spent almost an hour floating in subspace, and came out of it giggling.
“I think this calls for a celebration.” The sexy smile that crossed her face had Hannibal curious.
“Is that so? Did you have something special in mind?”
She blushed. But then looked over at the mountain climbing wall. “Maybe.”
Ink looked over at the same wall, then back at their woman. “What’s going on in that pretty little mind of yours?”
“I had this dream last night. And since I have all of these fancy harnesses and belaying gear. I thought you guys would be interested in making it come true.”
Hannibal tried to imagine what she could possibly be imagining. It couldn’t just be about suspension, they had a wonderful sex swing at home specifically designed for that and had made excellent use of it. On multiple occasions.
“We’re always happy to make your dreams come true,cher. What were you thinking?”
She smiled and looked between the two of them. “Have you ever thought about fucking while flying?”
