Jed was proud of Katie for taking her punishment and pleasure, but her lack of movement concerned him.While Katie’s breathing was rapid, she didn’t appear to be in distress, but Jed wasn’t as good at reading the signals as Ry was.Was he failing as one of Katie’s Sirs?He glanced at Ry.
“Restraints.”Ry’s voice was strained.Together, they began releasing her bonds, rubbing her arms and legs, making sure the circulation returned.All the time, Katie didn’t say a word, her breathing heavy.
“She hasn’t moved,” Jed said, worried they’d pushed too far.
“She is totally boneless and sated.”Ry lifted Katie into his arms and marched across to the bed.“But her breathing has slowed, and she’s smiling.”
Jed climbed onto the mattress as Ry lay Katie down, before Ry moved to the bathroom.Brushing her hair off her face, Jed traced her cheek with his finger.“You did so well, Kitty Kat.”
“Very well,” Ry said, returning to the bed with two washcloths and a bath towel.
Another grin flittered across her lips.The constriction in Jed’s chest eased.
Jed took the offered washcloth and began bathing Katie’s face, arms, chest, and stomach.Ry started at her feet, continued up her legs, bathed her swollen pussy, and met Jed at her stomach.And Katie never moved or made a sound.
“Did we push too far?”Jed asked.
“Her breathing has returned to normal.”Ry used the towel to dry her off.“Her pussy is swollen, but that’s to be expected.We played hard, and I suspect she’s hit subspace with those smiles she’s been giving us.
“Then why hasn’t she moved or made any sound at all?”
Ry shrugged his shoulders, but there was concern in his gaze.“Some subs don’t.Let’s just give her some time.”Ry threw the towel and washcloths into the bathroom and joined him and Katie.
Jed snagged the blanket that lay at the end of the bed, pulling it up as he and Ry cuddled up to Katie.
“Time to open those pretty eyes, Katie,” Ry said, right next to her ear.
“Mmm.”She snuggled closer to them.“I’m fine.I just feel so good.I want to sleep.”
Ry chuckled.
Jed let out a breath, relief filling him.“She’s okay.”
“Yes.”Ry brushed Katie’s cheek with his finger.“Rest for a bit.”
Katie snuggled between them and emitted a soft snore.
“What time is it?”Jed asked.
“Almost nine,” Ry said, glancing at his watch.“We need to figure out a better time for this.”
“Yeah.”Jed patted his stomach as it rumbled.“Maybe we should keep the hard play until the weekends and keep it a bit lighter on weeknights.”
“We haven’t been that hard on her.”
“No, but it’s taking a toll on all of us.”Jed rubbed his chin.“We all have to work.”His stomach rumbled.“Plus we ate a light dinner, and it’s not good to eat this late at night.”
“We need her here earlier.”
“Ry, we can’t take up all her time.She does have her grandmother and, apparently, a job.”
“What job?”
“Jason said he saw Katie in town today, looking at real estate.When he asked her about it, she told him she was looking for office space for her accounting business.”
“Aww, hell.”Ry drew his hand through his hair.“I’ve been so damn focused on keeping her with us, I never thought of what she might need.”
