Since there weren’t many people around on aSaturday afternoon, I reached out and stroked my hand down one of the smallwhiplike things that I was pretty sure was a flogger. I wasn’t sure I couldpicture Dare hitting me with it, but Ryan’s eyes lit up like I’d handed him aChristmas present.

“That’s cool.”

Yeah, he could definitely see it comingdown on his body…his ass? Back?

Where the fuck did he want to get hit withit?

Dare must’ve sensed my growing number ofquestions, or maybe I just looked panicked, because he leaned over and strokeddown the long strands that came from the handle. “That’s soft. They can have awide range of sensations, so some will leave a stronger sting than others. Butthere are some that, depending on how you use it, will just leave you feelingwarm and submissive.”

Really?

My gaze bounced between the two eager men.“Is that good too? Isn’t it supposed to hurt and just being warm isn’t reallydoing it right?”

Porn was not a good teaching tool, but aftera few random google searches that made me nervous, I’d stopped looking for realeducational material.

Dare ran his free hand down my back andleaned into my shoulder. “There’s no right or wrong way with something likethis. The main point is to use it safely and to explore what people enjoy.”

Ryan swallowed, his eyes just taking in theway Dare was stroking the long strands. “What do you think I’d enjoy?”

He really liked the idea if he was askingquestions like that.

Dare’s smile said he appreciated it,though, and probably that he was proud of Ryan. “I would start with somethingthat would feel kind of thuddy when it fell on you but not overly painful. Thesensations would gradually build up, and I’d focus on your ass. I think you’dreally like it.”

Seeing how hard he’d come from beingspanked and just the blissed-out way the sensations and maybe the emotion madehim feel…yeah, I could see him liking it.

Ryan stared at the toy for a few moments,then turned to me. “What do you think?”

Oh, loaded question.

“Um…” Slightly panicked, I just rambled.“For you or in general or about that one specifically like the color or thetexture or about Dare using it on you or about me?”

Ryan cocked his head, studying me. “Um,yes?”

Laughing, Dare shook his head. “No, that’snot going to work.”

I was pretty sure he was talking to both ofus, but Ryan finally relaxed, grinning. “Um, so in general and then for me?”

That was easier to answer.

“Thuddy would be interesting. That doesn’tsound overwhelming.” I shrugged, at a loss for a reasonable response thatwouldn’t turn into a rambling mess. “I think you’d like it, and Dare’s kind oflooking at you like you’re a cake he’s going to dive into…so I think that meanshe likes it too.”

More laughter came from our thankfully verylaid-back Master. As his delight faded, he nodded and the passion came backinto his eyes. “Oh yes, that describes it perfectly.”

Ryan licked his lips, shifting his gazeback and forth between us and the toy. “Then, yeah, I guess we try it?”

Dare nodded, looking a bit like he did whenwe finally decided on what to have for dinner. “Great. I’ll call my friend andget his recommendation for what he thinks the best one would be for us and thenI’ll order it.”

He studied the options on the wall beforeshaking his head. “I just don’t know some of these brands, and I want to makesure I get the right one. I learned how to use one at a BDSM club a few yearsago, but I don’t want to guess about this.”

That made sense.

Ryan’s shoulders relaxed and the stiffnesseased out of his stance. Having the decision made and out of his handsdefinitely changed how he saw our educational outing. “Great.”

Then they turned to me.

Shit.

Now it was my turn.
