The Drake Unwound Complete Collection (The Drake Series Book 9)(13)

I was pleased that she responded so well to the anal training with the small plug. I knew that she could respond if she let herself and so it would be my goal to slowly show her exactly that.





CHAPTER FIVE





I pulled out slowly, relishing the sight of my semen dripping out of her well-used and pleasured *. It was a kink of mine, one that was tied up in some unconscious notion of impregnation, completely male, although I always took measures to ensure my subs were on the pill and could not get pregnant. Still, it was an interesting kink, considering how I was the loner type who was far too busy for emotional entanglements.

I removed the plug and helped Kate lie on her side before going to the bathroom for a washcloth so I could provide her with aftercare.

I washed the plug off and my hands, then returned to the bedroom and washed Kate with a warm washcloth, tending to her needs.

"I think I want to stay here tonight," I said when I was done, my arms around her, my face nestled in the crook of her neck while she sat on my lap. "You should call your father and let him know."

Kate nodded and slipped out of my arms, going to where she’d dropped her bag to retrieve her cell. I watched her from across the room while she dialed her father's number. After a few rings, he answered.

“Hi, Daddy,” she said, her face transforming to a sweet little girl talking to her beloved father. "We're going to stay at Drake's place in Chelsea tonight."

There was a pause while Ethan responded and then she replied. "It's really nice. He's converted the dining room into a music room."

"Just a bit more packing but yes, we're almost ready."

"Good night, Daddy."

She ended the call and quickly checked her messages. I watched from the bed, wondering what kind of mail she received. She sat on the bed beside me and bit her lip as if concerned.


"What is it?" I said, reaching out to squeeze her arm.

"An email from Dawn."

I exhaled heavily. "What trouble is she trying to raise now?"

She shook her head and read silently.

"What is it?" I said, leaning closer, my chin on her shoulder as I looked over it to her cell.

She closed the email program and turned to me, her face a strange mixture of wonder and fear. I lay back on the bed, resting on my elbow, prepared for bad news.

She took in a deep breath. "Tell me about Sunita."

Fuck.

I inhaled deeply. "I knew it," I said, shaking my head. I lay back on the bed and ran my fingers through my hair. What the f*ck could I say about Sunita?

"Tell me, Drake. Dawn said I should ask you what happened with her."

I frowned. "What did Dawn tell you about her?"

She shook her head. "She said I should ask you about her. That's all. Nothing else."

I closed my eyes. Of all the subs Kate should learn about, Sunita was the one I did not want to have to talk about. It wasn’t that I was ashamed of our relationship. It was just that Sunita was a problem. A mistake.

"Sunita was one of my first subs. You have to understand," I said, rising up on my elbow. "Lara didn't believe I wasn't into pain. She thought I was being gallant, so she thought Sunita might help bring it out. Sunita was a bit of a painslut. Lara was trying to see if I was into pain."

Kate frowned.

"I tried, Kate," I said, needing to make her understand. "It did nothing for me so I didn't do it with any conviction. Sunita had a bit of a crush on me. She was upset when things didn't work out between us and tried to stir up trouble."

"What did she do?"

"She tried to force me to do what she wanted,” I said. “Lara finally hooked Sunita up with a new Dom, but she's always made me know how she felt. I've seen her a few times at dungeon parties and she's tried to get back with me. I've always refused her politely."

"Then you intentionally hurt her."

"Only as part of my training," I said in protest. "Once I discovered my own hard limits, I never did S&M again. What is it with Dawn?" I said, leaning over to kiss her shoulder. "Why can't she understand?"

"She was traumatized as a young girl. It's her blind spot."

"You're very generous with her." I shook my head. "If she were my friend, I'd have ended it with her by now."

"She's only trying to help. She really believes I'm in danger from you."

I pulled her onto my lap, so that her arms threaded around my neck and her face was level with mine. I needed to look in her eyes to see if she could understand. "I hope you know you're not. I'd never purposely hurt you, Kate. I love you."

"I know," she said, avoiding my eyes.

"Look, if you doubt me, Lara can tell you."

"No, that's all right," she said, her voice sounding apologetic. "I don't need to call her. You've never done anything to make me question you. I've never been afraid of you."

I nodded. "We have to trust each other for this relationship to work."

"I know. But maybe before we leave, I'll meet with Dawn and have it out. Try to reason with her."

"Why?" I said, frustrated with her that she kept trying to be friends with someone who clearly was unhinged about us. "What do you owe her? She tried to break us up. She tried to harm me professionally."
