She took a deep breath. “I am.”
“Wait a couple of minutes before you come out.” Jena walked to the bedroom door. “I want to see the look on Josh and Jacob’s faces when you make your entrance.”
“Thanks for helping me get ready, Jena.”
“What are sisters-in-law for?”
She smiled. “You mean sisters.”
“Yes. Sisters.” Jena walked into the hallway and shut the door.
Carrie took another look at herself in the mirror. Jena was right, she did look sexy. She smiled, feeling her heart
pound a little faster in her chest. Anxious to see how the night went, she glanced over at the clock on her nightstand. 11:10 p.m. Jena had told her that the club’s biggest crowd showed after getting their kids to bed, thus the late hour. Phase Four was so much more than a BDSM club. It was a place the community gathered, a place where judgment wasn’t tolerated, a place where sexuality was prized in all its many forms. A place of total freedom to be whatever you wanted to be.
She walked out of the bedroom for the adventure she’d been dreaming about. And the two men who would be her guides were waiting by the door to escort her to the club.
A leather harness was wrapped around Josh’s muscled chest and six-pack abs. The black jeans and military boots reinforced the image of dominance he presented. Jacob wore a black leather vest and pants that exposed his well-built body perfectly. Like Josh, he wore black military boots. They both carried a leather satchel. She had a pretty good idea what was inside the black bags. There was no doubt in her mind who was in control of tonight. Her two Masters were.
“Here she is,” Jena announced, standing between Matt and Sean, who were also wearing Dom gear.
Josh’s eyes widened. “Wow.”
“You really like it?” she asked.
“I sure do, sweetheart.”
Jacob smiled. “You look gorgeous, Carrie.”
Thrilled with Josh and Jacob’s praise, she said, “So do you and Josh. Handsome, I mean.”
“Do we all want to ride together?” Sean asked Josh and Jacob. “We can take the Suburban.”
Destiny families were like any other in the country. They drove SUVs, ate dinner together, paid bills, had children. But there were a few differences. The people here didn’t put any boundaries on what family meant and they weren’t afraid to express their sexuality in a variety of ways.
“No thanks, Sean,” Jacob said. “We’ll be staying later than you three. It’s Carrie’s first time, so we have a lot planned for her tonight.”
A shiver ran up and down her spine as she wondered what he and Josh had in mind for the evening for her.
“Sure thing,” Sean said.
“We’ll see you at the club, guys.” Matt turned to Jena. “Come with us, sub.”
Jena smiled and sent her a knowing wink. “Yes, Master.”
Matt and Sean led Jena to the entrance to the garage, which was through the kitchen.
When they were alone, Josh pulled Carrie in close and kissed her, getting the first round of tonight’s tingles started. “God, you look hot.” He spun her around to face Jacob. “Don’t you agree?”
“I do,” Jacob said and pressed his mouth to her lips. “Let’s go, little sub.”
“Yes, Master.” She smiled, and he smiled back.
“We have set up some surprises for you tonight, angel. Things we’ve never done with you before.” He kissed her again and then opened the door.
As her excitement enlarged inside her, her legs wanted to run to the truck. She didn’t but instead remained between Josh and Jacob, her two big bad Doms. They’d saved her, not just from Willie, but from the self-doubt and fear that had manifested as the smoke in her nightmares. The darkness was gone. Her nightmares, too, replaced by wonderful dreams. And because of her two wonderful men and with the help of Sam, her memories were back in place.
When they got to the end of the sidewalk, she stopped by the passenger door of the truck. She could’ve opened the door herself, but knew the rules they’d set up between each other. So she waited.
