A smattering of applause and a few raucous comments on

their performance reminded her that they were still at the ball

and having sex in front of strangers. Blaize let go of her and her

legs slid down to the floor. She kept her arms around his neck

and was glad of it when her knees buckled.

He cupped her jaw and brought her head back up for another

hot, deeply lascivious kiss. «We haven’t finished yet, Jane.»

«What?»

«We have another engagement this evening at the pleasure

house.»

«Right now?» Jane eased away from him, aware of her flushed

cheeks, the wetness of his seed between her thighs. «Can’t we go

home and change first?»

«No.» He looked up at her as he finished tucking his cock

back into his pantaloons. «I want you to look just the way you do

now.»

«Like a well-bedded whore?»

His smile was devastatingly intimate. «If that is how you feel.»

He bowed and walked back toward the box, leaving Jane to

follow him through the dancers, enduring the pinches and less

subtle groping of her fellow guests. When she reached him, he

was already wearing his cloak and holding out hers. She allowed

him to place it around her shoulders and tie the ribbons.

«Isn’t that why you brought me here, to make me feel like a

whore?»

«Why would you think that?»

She shrugged. «Because you want me to feel bad about

desiring you. You want to equate my feelings for you with any

other basic sexual encounter. You want me to feel ashamed of

myself.»

«Do I? Perhaps I brought you here because I thought you

might enjoy it.» His rigid tone didn’t invite a response, but he

wasn’t the only one who could play games. She swung around to

face him.

«You fear intimacy. You wish sex was simply about power and

dominance rather than about love and happiness.»

His smile was supercilious. «You seem to enjoy being

dominated.»

«That’s not the point, is it? I enjoy having sex with you

because I find you incredibly arousing.»

Something flickered in his cool blue eyes. Had she hurt him?

Had he really tried to share something immensely personal

with her? «You would find any man just as arousing. I’ve seen the

way you watch Robert being fucked.»

She touched his arm. «Don’t you understand? I enjoyed it

because Robert was with you. I find the thought of anyone

touching you arousing.»

He stepped back and walked across to the door, flung it open.

«Your brain must be addled. Now come along.»

Jane held her ground, waited until he looked back at her. «Do

you really believe I could find sexual satisfaction with any man?»

«I just said so, didn’t I?»

«But you will not put that arrogant assumption to the test?»

He scowled at her. «You are not taking a lover, Jane.»

She glowered right back at him. «Why not? Then at least I

could conduct a proper experiment and confirm my suspicions

that you are the only man I want in my bed. It seems I am

convicted of being a slattern who loves sex with anyone without

any proof.»

Without replying, he marched off down the hallway. For a

moment Jane bared her teeth at his retreating back. Getting him

to understand that she wanted only him seemed impossible. Why

did he repudiate the idea so vehemently? Did he truly think her

amoral, or was it more complicated than that? Did he truly

believe he was unlovable?

On that unsettling thought, Jane picked up her skirts and

hurried after Blaize. Her evening wasn’t over yet. She still had

plenty of opportunities to both enjoy herself and irritate her

husband.

«Can you slow down, my lord?»

«No, or we will be late.»

«Late for what?»

Jane struggled to keep up as Blaize towed her along the

hallway of the second floor of Madame Helene s pleasure house.

White doors passed in a blur of numbers and suggestive titles

until he stopped so suddenly, she almost cannoned into him. He

opened a door and bowed to her.

«In here, my lady.»

Jane lowered her voice as they entered the rear of darkened

room. «What exactly are we doing here?»

«We’ve come to watch something.»

«What?»

He took her hand again and marched her into the center of

the room. «Actually, we’ve come to watch you.»

«What?» she hissed, and tried to pull out of his grasp, although

she knew he was far too strong.

«Kneel on the stool, my lady.»

Jane licked her lips, aware that there were already about

twenty people sitting in the rows of chairs surrounding the small

intimate stage. Petite candles set in a circle gently illuminated the

central space. «Blaize, what is going on?»

Blaize maneuvered her over to the stool and stood in front of

her, blocking her view of the audience. «It is part of our evenings

216 /
Kate Pearce

entertainment. You’ve already let me fuck you in front of a

theater full of people, why not here?»

«Because...» Jane stared up at him. « You are going to fuck

me? I thought...»

He shrugged and removed his cloak, threw it toward the

shadows beyond the circle of light illuminating them both. «Yes,

of course it will be me. We have a bargain, don’t we? I get to fuck

you wherever and whenever I want.»

Jane stared at him. Did she trust him not to exploit her? Was

she any safer at the pleasure house than she had been at the ball?

She’d loved him fucking her there, forgotten all about the need

for caution, for restraint, and had simply been herself. He held

her gaze, his blue eyes intent. He had discarded his mask,

although she still wore hers. Was he expecting her to run? Would

that finally prove to him that he was totally unlovable?

She swallowed slowly. «What do you want me to do?»

His mouth quirked up at the corner as if he wanted to smile,

but he quickly repressed it. «I want you to do what I tell you to

do. No arguing.»

«That will be difficult for me.»

«I know.»

Still holding his gaze, Jane sank to her knees on the large red

velvet stool. Blaize slowly exhaled and walked behind her to take

off her cloak. A low whistle of approval came from the audience

and Jane closed her eyes. She shivered as Blaize’s long fingers

settled on her shoulders and then drifted down to unlace the

dress.

She was panting so fast that the jewels at her breasts shivered

in the light and sent trembling rainbow shadows onto the floor

below. The dress came over her head, leaving her in just the

short corset, her stockings and the jeweled clamps. Another

murmur came from the audience as Blaize reached his hands

around and cupped her breasts, framed the nipple clamps with

his finger and thumb and gently tugged.

Jane couldn’t help gasping as her flesh throbbed and ached,

the heat of arousal so strong that she wanted to sob. His hands

slid lower to her hips and settled there for another long moment

bringing her buttocks against his groin and the teasing thickness

of his shaft.

She tried to look down as one hand went lower toward her

sex to flick the jewel there and set off even more throbbing. He

used his hand to widen her stance, let his fingers play in the thick

wetness he’d created earlier, swirling around her clit, her pussy

lips, the opening to her body.

«I need a volunteer.»

Blaize’s calm and totally unexpected request shocked her out

of her slow slide down the treacherous path of desire.

«You, Major. If you would be so kind.»

Jane opened her eyes to see a familiar figure walk into the

center of the room. Major Lord Thomas Wesley looked as

stunned as Jane felt. If Blaize had invited him, and that was

doubtful seeing as how her husband tried to avoid the man,

Major Wesley certainly hadn’t expected to participate.

Blaize lowered his voice as the man drew nearer. «Major

Wesley, you’ve often expressed an interest in fucking me—how

about you show me exactly how serious you are?»

To Major Wesley’s credit, he didn’t look scared of Blaize,

which was surely a good thing.

«What do you want me to do, my lord?»

«I want you to get down on your knees and lick my lady to a

climax, Thomas.»

Thomas shrugged. «If you wish.» For a big man, he sank quite

gracefully to his knees and stared up at them both. «If your lady

permits, of course.»

Blaize laughed. «Nod if you agree, my dear. The major is a

great stickler for the rules.»

Jane managed to nod and Thomas anchored his big hands on

her hips. She moaned as he delicately licked at her clit, the tip of

218 /
Kate Pearce

his tongue caressing the jewel, the clamp, the hot needy flesh

beneath.

«Lick her clean of my cum, Thomas, make her climax for me.»

Jane leaned back against Blaize as Thomas increased the pace

and length of his forays, licked her from front to back, his tongue

probing her opening, his teeth grazing her swollen pussy lips. She

forgot about the audience and came against his open mouth as

Blaize squeezed her nipples.

«You haven’t finished, yet, Thomas, so don’t get up.»

Jane felt Blaize undo his pantaloons and free his cock. He

wrapped one strong arm around her waist and slightly bent his

knees. His cock slid between her buttocks and rubbed against her

soaking wet sex.

«Put my cock in her, Thomas.» Jane heard Thomas exhale and

curse under his breath as Blaize continued to talk. «Put your hand

around the base and guide me inside her.»

Jane couldn’t see exactly what was going on, so the sudden

fullness of Blaize’s pierced cock entering her at such an extreme

angle made her moan. Thomas groaned too as Blaize shoved

deep and held still.

«Lick her again and lick me. Make us both come.»

«God...» Thomas sounded almost as desperate as Jane felt,

wanting Blaize to move, to let her come, knowing he would make

her wait and make her crave him for as long as he could control

his own desires.

Minshom stared down at Jane and then lower to Thomas as

he felt the first tentative lick to his balls. God... this was so much

more than he had anticipated, so much more than simply

dominating the two people who had started to feature together in

his most erotic dreams. Jane was straining against his hold, trying

to move on his cock, trying to make him thrust into her as hard

as he could.

But he held firm as Thomas drew one of his balls into his

mouth and sucked. Despite Minshom’s original resolve to remain

SIMPLY INSATIABLE
/ 219

aloof, the hand not holding Jane up came to rest on Thomas’s

head and urged him on.

He caught back a moan as Thomas released his balls and

rimmed his arse hole with his wet tongue and gently probed it.

Minshom froze. Did he want this? Did he want to order Thomas

to slide his finger in there along with his tongue and pump it

back and forth until Minshom climaxed? Thomas’s mouth

moved again, came to swirl and circle the place where Minshom

and Jane were joined.

Jane mewled like a kitten when Thomas licked her clit and she

came. Minshom gritted his teeth as she clenched around his shaft

until he thought he would have to climax. His balls tightened

against his body as Thomas mouthed and rubbed them with his

chin, his teeth—Christ... Minshom groaned and spilled his seed

deep, one hand buried in Thomas’s thick hair, the other wrapped

around Jane’s ribs, squeezing the breath out of her.

The lights in the circle dimmed and most were completely

extinguished by one of the footmen. There was some enthusiastic

clapping from the audience, an audience Minshom had

completely forgotten existed, and then it went quiet. The three of

them remained frozen in place. Minshom’s cock was still inside

Jane; Thomas was still kneeling in front of her as she continued

to shudder.

Slowly, Minshom unclenched his fingers and released his grip

on Thomas’s hair. Thomas looked up at him.

«Damn you, Blaize.»

He surged to his feet and kissed Minshom hard on the mouth,

almost crushing Jane between them. Minshom was so surprised

that he fell backward, bringing Jane down with him. He managed

to roll her to the side before Thomas crashed into him, his

mouth punishing, nipping, demanding.

«Help me.» Thomas groaned and grabbed Minshom’s wrist,

dragged his hand down to his groin where his cock was still

painfully erect. Minshom couldn’t help but close his fingers

220 /

around Thomas’s thick shaft and start rubbing. Within seconds

Thomas climaxed, his hot cum soaking his breeches and

Minshom’s hand.

Thomas cried out and lay still, one hand covering his face, his

chest heaving. Minshom couldn’t bear to look at him and turned
