Submissive Beauty (38 page)
Could she live with that kind of commitment? Nothing less than complete trust would satisfy them.
Hell, who was she kidding? Of course, she could. A month ago maybe not. But she’d changed. They all had. That realization allowed much of her fear to dissipate, need rising in its place.
“Are you ready for the next step, Gabrielle?” Thomas leaned forward and swiped a finger along her slit.
A rush of sensation sizzled over her. Her head fell back as she widened her legs for him.
David chuckled. “I think you have your answer.”
“I need a crop.”
Gabby whimpered, moisture flooding between her thighs. Those words set off a thousand butterflies scrambling in her belly. Her breasts ached for their touch, her pussy throbbed for their attention and they were going to crop her instead.
“Is this punishment?” She wanted to understand.
“Consider it a release. A release from the hurt of the past. Our clean slate.”
Gabby shivered and moaned softly. She wanted that more than anything in the world.
Thomas picked up the crop Linda offered him and studied Gabby carefully. Perspiration broke out across her skin. He flexed the instrument and snapped it back into place. “This will be perfect.”
Thomas disappeared behind her, and David took his place at her front. “We’ve missed you wildly, beautiful.”
Her breath caught. “I missed you, too. Every single day.”
“No more fears?”
She shook her head. “None. All I have now is love.”
David’s eyes widened, and a groan sounded from Thomas. “You please us more than you know. Surrender to us forever. Be our beauty.” David mesmerized her with his words.
“Forever,” she whispered, her heart exploding with joy.
Thomas leaned into her back and brought his lips to her right ear. “Thank you, my love. That means the world to us. Now, get ready.”
