Training the Help [Hedon Falls 3] (Siren Publishing Ménage and More) (14 page)

The two of them quickly got all the groceries put away and then Remy shooed her to the table while he made two cups of tea. After he handed one to her, he took the seat opposite her. “Now spill it, sweetie. What’s the deal with the ex?”

Sophie sighed. “I don’t know what his problem is. He’s never acted this way before. He said if I liked it rough, he could take me and tie me up, and…”

“Ah,” Remy said. “I’m glad we came along when we did.”

“I don’t think he would have actually followed through,” Sophie said. “Tony’s always been full of bluster, but little substance.”

“Still, it’s better not to find out. Stupid paparazzi. They must have thought Kendra would be at the opening,” he said. “One innocent picture and the rumors start, and then the town turns into a madhouse. As if Jack would cheat on his wife!” Remy laughed.

Sophie lowered her eyes and took a sip of her tea. When she looked back up, Remy was looking at her, the amusement gone from his face. “Oh. My. God. You
are
sleeping with him, aren’t you?”

She opened her mouth to deny the accusation, but couldn’t make the words come out. Instead she slumped in her chair and brought her hands to her face. “I’m an awful person, Remy.”

He brought his chair around the table and put an arm over her shoulders. “You’re not an awful person, Sophie. But I’m not going to lie and tell you that sleeping with a married man is okay.”

“I know, Remy, I know. I just can’t seem to control myself around him.” Before she knew it, she was spilling the entire story to him. He was a great listener. He didn’t interrupt or judge. Sophie realized that she really didn’t have anyone else she could talk to about her situation. She’d never had many close friends in Toronto, and since moving up here, she had no one.

When Sophie had finished telling Remy everything, he hugged her again. “I know how hard it is to resist someone who gets your motor revving like that. Someday I’ll tell you about how Seamus and I met! But you’ve got to stop it, sweetheart, because it won’t end well.”

“I know. I just have to figure out how.”

“Sophie! I’m home!” yelled a voice from the main foyer.

Sophie looked at Remy guiltily. Kendra was back.

* * * *

Sophie and Remy went out to the foyer to greet the movie star. To her surprise, Kendra pulled her into a warm hug and kissed her cheek. Sophie felt a rush of warmth traveling out from the spot where Kendra’s lips had brushed her skin.

“I’m so glad to be home!” she exclaimed, her arms still around Sophie. “I missed you!”

Sophie forced a laugh. “It must be hard to be gone for so long.”

“You have no idea,” Kendra replied as she looked into Sophie’s eyes for a moment. Then she released her and turned to Remy, who was eyeing them with suspicion. She gave him a big hug and kissed his cheek as well. “Remy, darling, it’s lovely to see you. What brings you here?”

As the three of them walked into the kitchen, Remy said, “I was walking near the grocery store with Seamus and Ainsley when we saw this guy with Sophie and she didn’t look particularly happy. So we stopped and he took off, but Sophie was upset and in no condition to drive. I brought her home and we’ve been chatting.” He and Sophie glanced at each other as they reached the kitchen and Sophie blushed slightly.

Kendra stopped and took Sophie by the shoulders. “Are you okay? Who was it?”

“It was my ex acting like a jerk.”

Kendra frowned. “What was he doing here?”

Sophie looked at Remy again. “He saw me and Jack in a picture in the paper and came to call me a whore.”

“What?” Kendra cried. “Where’s this picture?”

Reluctantly, Sophie picked the clipping up off the table and handed it to her. She read it for a minute and then burst out laughing. “You gotta love the media. They can twist anything around! I’m surprised the press at the airport didn’t say anything about it. They’re usually quick to point out when there’s a suspected affair going on.” She looked up at Sophie. “But I’m more concerned about this ex. Did he threaten you?”

“In a manner of speaking,” Sophie mumbled. “But I don’t think he was serious. Just being a jerk.”

Kendra pulled Sophie into her arms again and stroked her back. “Thank goodness Remy was there. I would have felt terrible if anything had happened.”

Sophie relaxed into Kendra’s arms, enjoying the soft floral scent of her perfume, and the warmth of her arms.

“Well, ladies, I’d love to stay, but I should call Seamus and Ainsley to come pick me up,” Remy said.

“No!” Kendra said, jumping away from Sophie and pulling her phone out of her pocket. She tapped a button and then raised the phone to her ear. She spoke into it for a moment and then hung up. “My car wasn’t even to the end of the drive. They’re coming back to pick you up.”

Remy grinned. “Ooh! Riding in style! Thanks, hon!” He hugged her.

“I’ll get supper ready,” Sophie said, after she hugged Remy and thanked him.

“Call whenever you need to, sweetie,” he said.

Sophie nodded and began to busy herself in the kitchen as Kendra walked Remy to the door. A few minutes later, Kendra returned and the two women settled in for dinner.

As they ate, Kendra told Sophie all about her film shoot. New Zealand was beautiful and the weather had been perfect. Sophie loved the pictures that Kendra showed her on the iPad. As Sophie cleared the table after dinner, Kendra said, “So how is the training going with Jack?”

Sophie hesitated for a moment before she responded. “It’s going well, I guess. It’s all very new to me, but I am having fun.” She could feel her ears burning as the blood rushed into her face.

“Jack certainly seems happy about it,” Kendra said. “It’s good for him. He wasn’t getting to the club much anymore. The reporters tended to hang around a lot. And I just can’t get into a lot of the impact or bondage. Did he get you off every time?”

Sophie wanted the ground to open up and swallow her. She couldn’t believe that the wife of the man she was fucking had just asked that. Kendra’s laugh rang lightly through the room.

“Oh, he must have!” she squealed. “You’re the color of a lobster right now!” Kendra walked over to her and touched her arm. “Don’t be embarrassed. Lots of women enjoy my husband’s training.”

Sophie just didn’t know what to say. She looked up at Kendra, guilt flooding through her as she remembered the moments with Jack that went well beyond the limits of training. The other woman’s touch was light on Sophie’s arm and she felt tingly where the fingers made contact with her bare skin.

“Tell me about it,” Kendra said. She ran her finger up and down Sophie’s arm, causing a tight feeling in her stomach and her nipples hardened. “I want to know everything.”

Sophie sincerely doubted that Kendra wanted to know everything. But she decided that not saying anything would only cause the pretty actress to pester her more. “Well, it started because of those books up in your room,” Sophie said as she lowered her eyes.

“It did? That’s awesome! Hold on a second, let’s get some drinks and go sit down.” Kendra pulled a bottle of wine from the wine fridge and a couple of glasses and grabbed Sophie by the hand. They went into Sophie’s sitting room. Kendra poured them each a glass of wine and they settled down on the couch. “So give me details,” Kendra said.

Sophie took a couple of large sips of wine before answering. “So I was reading one of the books about BDSM and he came home early and saw me with it.” Sophie stopped. “You know, I feel kind of awkward talking about this with you. He’s your husband.”

Kendra laughed and placed a hand on Sophie’s knee. “I don’t mind,” she said. “It makes me kind of hot to hear about it.” Her gaze held Sophie’s for a minute before Sophie lowered her eyes.

Sophie drained the wine glass, hoping for some liquid courage. But even though she had a definite buzz from drinking so fast, she still didn’t feel like she could talk to Kendra about the things she did with Jack. And Kendra’s hand was still on her knee, which was causing some sexual tension in Sophie. If she’d had any doubts about her reactions to Kendra earlier, they were now erased. The hand was causing her heart to race and her clit to throb. Sophie thought back to the book of lesbian erotica that she had read, and imagined Kendra doing some of those things to her.

“Well?” Kendra asked. “Don’t leave me hanging!”

Sophie sighed. She opened her mouth to speak, and closed it again. She couldn’t do this. But if Kendra wanted to know, Sophie could show her the journal she’d been keeping. “Hold on a second. I have to get something.” Before Kendra could protest, Sophie had jumped up and run into her bedroom. She pulled the journal from her nightstand drawer, and flipped through it. She hadn’t added anything about having sex with Jack yet, only the first few encounters. She carried the journal back out to the sitting room and handed it to Kendra. “I’ve been keeping a journal,” she said. “It would be easier for me if you just read about it.”

Kendra took the book from her as Sophie sat back down. Sophie watched as she opened it up and began to read. While she waited, she poured herself another glass of wine, and sipped it as Kendra flipped through the pages. There were a few times that Sophie noticed Kendra shifting around in her seat and wondered if the other woman was getting a bit turned on by the recounts in the journal. When Kendra came to the end, she closed the book, set it down, and sipped her wine for a moment. When she finally turned to look at Sophie, there was no mistaking the hunger in her eyes.

“You’re a good writer,” Kendra said finally. “I love your descriptions. It almost makes me want to get my ass spanked again.”

Sophie blushed and took another sip of wine.

“You know, I’ve been thinking about something,” Kendra said as she placed her hand back on Sophie’s knee. “Jack told you I’m not submissive, and that’s true. I let him top me, but I really prefer to be the one in charge. I’ve never been able to explore that side of me. I can’t go to the club, because the press would have a field day if they caught wind of it. And Jack is too much of a Dom to let me top him. But maybe you’d let me top you?” She traced light circles on Sophie’s thigh.

Sophie could feel her heart pounding and the blood rushing in her ears. Her pussy was screaming at her to go ahead and let Kendra do whatever she wanted, but her head was trying desperately to reason with her libido. She swallowed and looked up at Kendra’s eyes.

“What is it exactly that you want to do?” she asked.

Kendra studied her for a moment. “I want to spank you. And do all the things that Jack does.”

Sophie almost choked on her wine. There was no way Kendra would be saying that if she knew about all the things Jack had done to her. But the thought of having the gorgeous blonde spanking her and tying her up had her wetter than she cared to admit. Sophie licked her lips and swallowed. Then she looked over at Kendra. “Okay.”

A mischievous smile spread across Kendra’s face. She traced one perfectly manicured nail down Sophie’s jaw and cupped her chin in her hand. “In that case, my little sub, I need to go and get some things. I want you to strip down and wait for me in your bedroom. Kneel down on your bed with your ass in the air. Do you understand?” Her voice held that note of command that made Sophie want to drop everything and rush to obey.

“Yes…” Sophie stopped. If it were Jack, she’d say, “Yes, Sir.” But she didn’t know what to call Kendra. “How would you like me to address you?”

Kendra’s sexy laugh rang in Sophie’s ears. “Oh, I’m going to like this. You can call me Mistress.”

“Yes, Mistress,” Sophie said.

“Go do what I told you. I’ll be back in a few minutes.” Kendra jumped up and bolted out the door.

Sophie poured herself another glass of wine and drank it quickly. She couldn’t believe she was doing this. She went into the bedroom and pulled off all her clothes. She climbed on her bed and went down on all fours so her ass was facing the door. She could feel her pussy juice already beginning to work its way down her thighs. The anticipation of Kendra’s training had her extremely aroused.

* * * *

Kendra raced up the stairs to the playroom. Excitement coursed through her. Not only was she going to get to see Sophie naked at last, she was going to get to explore her own dominant side. She wanted that feeling of being in control, being the one to call the shots. People often thought that movie stars were demanding divas, but Kendra always had to do whatever the studio wanted her to, what the director wanted her to, what her fans wanted her to. She felt as though she couldn’t decide for herself anymore. And then at home, when Jack ordered her around in the bedroom, it made things worse. He was a fantastic lover, but Kendra couldn’t help feeling like she needed more.

When she met Sophie, she had been immediately attracted to the tiny woman. It wasn’t often Kendra got to be with people shorter than her and she enjoyed being able to look down at someone for a change. And Sophie’s curvy body with the full breasts and hips was just built for sex. Kendra was bisexual, but hadn’t felt an attraction to a woman this strong in a very long time. As she remembered seeing Sophie’s bare breasts in the dressing room that day at the mall, her pussy throbbed. How she wanted to squeeze those tits, and suck on the rosy nipples. And remembering the way Sophie’s nipples had hardened under her gaze made her think that Sophie would be open to just that.
