"Youre here to talk about you," Serena said sweetly. "Dont make me throw you out of my house before you get to plead your case. "
Julie threw back her head and laughed. "Alrighty then. " She looked over at Damon. "Faith told me she came to you when she wanted some help in the fantasy fulfillment area. "
Damon sat down in the armchair catty-corner to the sofa and propped one long leg over his knee. "Not exactly. Faith wasnt looking for a fantasy. She was looking for something very real. " He smiled and looked over at Serena. "Serena was the one looking for a fantasy. "
"They both ended up with the real deal. Yeah, I know," Julie said impatiently. "Im not after reality here. I dont want a permanent fixture. I want hot sex with two gorgeous specimens, and I want it. . . anonymously. "
She held her breath while she waited for Damon to react. Serena was quicker. While Damon didnt look overly disturbed by her announcement, Serena turned sharply.
"Have you lost your mind, Julie? Anonymous? And you thought I was the crazy one. "
"No, Ive got it all figured out," Julie said patiently. "I dont want messy entanglements. Been there, done that, can certainly live without it. I wanted hot sex with Nathan, and clearly that didnt work out. So Im thinking the best way to go about this is to set up a situation where I have no idea who my hot guys are. We all get great sex out of it and go our merry way afterward. "
"How anonymous are you wanting, exactly?" Damon asked.
She looked at him gratefully, relieved that he was at least taking her request seriously. "So anonymous that I dont know who they are or what they look like . . . at any part of it," she said cheerfully.
Serena groaned. "Good God, Julie, what do you want? For them to blindfold you?"
"Yes. Exactly. "
"Talk some sense into her, Damon," Serena pleaded.
"Cant do that, love," he said fondly. "What if shed been able to talk you out of your crazy idea of wanting to be my sex slave?"
"For the love of God," Serena muttered.
Julie grinned. "Hes right, you know. You could very well be standing in the way of my future happiness. "
"You dont believe that load of horse manure anymore than I do," Serena said.
Laughter escaped Julie, and she shoved playfully at Serena. "No, I dont, you heifer, but you could at least give me my own rope to hang myself with. I may have thought you were nuts, but I didnt tie your ass to a chair to prevent you from signing up for slavery. "
"Very true," Serena said with a sigh. "But can I at least talk you out of the blindfolds? It seems so . . . scary. "
"Its part of the appeal," Damon said evenly. "Think about it, Serena mine. Total darkness. Having to rely on all your other senses. Touch. Taste. Smell. The feel of strange hands on your body, awakening all those senses. "
A warm flush stole over Julie. Damn but the man was good.
"I dont want any emotional attachment," Julie said. "I just want two men concentrating on me and my pleasure. No slave shit, please. Unless they want to be mine," she added with a grin. "Minions to do my bidding would be great too. "
"Youre incorrigible," Serena said as she chuckled.
"No, just desperate and horny. "
Damon broke into laughter, and Serena closed her eyes and touched her forehead with her hand.
"Surely there are men at your pleasure palace who wouldnt mind fucking a womans brains out," she said to Damon.
"Pleasure palace? That sounds so . . . cheesy. " He actually looked affronted.
"Sorry," she mumbled. "House of loooove then?"
He cracked a grin. "You dont want love, remember?"
"Damn straight. Thanks for that reminder. "
"But yes, Im sure there are any number of men who would be more than willing to take you on," he said as he fought another smile. "Well do the usual background checks, medical histories, et cetera. Give me a week or so to get everything together and Ill do my best to give you your fantasy. "
"If its not asking too much, Id like to schedule two nights. Now, ahead of time. I dont want to deal with the awkwardness of doing another after the first night, and if its already set up, then I dont have to stress about it. "
"Of course," Damon agreed. "But if you decide its not to your liking or if theres anything you want me to change, let me know. "
Julie put her hands together in front of her and grinned in delight. "Thanks, Damon. Youre the best. "
He shrugged. "Its the least I can do to repay you for kidnapping Serena for me. "
Serena glowered at both of them, but Julie didnt miss the flash of emotion in Serenas eyes as she looked at Damon.
"I need more details as well," Damon continued. "If you arent comfortable giving them now, you can e-mail me later, but I need specifics. Boundaries. The do-not-cross lines. "
Julie cocked her head and thought for a moment. "I dont have a problem telling you now. Im not into bondage shit. No way I want to be tied down with strange men, even if I asked for strange men. "
Serena laughed and shook her head.
"A blindfold is all I really require because I dont want to know. Dont want to see them, although Im counting on you not to give me anyone hideous," Julie said.
"Now why the hell should you care if theyre hideous if youre blindfolded?" Serena asked in exasperation.
"Its the principle," Julie said. She looked back at Damon. "And no small dicks. If Im going for the gusto, I want to be treated right. "
Damons shoulders shook as he tried valiantly to keep his composure. "No small dicks. Got it. Anything else?"
"Just give me someone who knows what to do with a big dick," Julie said. "I dont want to have to coach the guy. I want a man who knows what to do with a woman. "
"I think I can handle that," he said. "Blindfolds and big dicks. Shouldnt be too difficult. "
Then he lost it and started to laugh. Julie grinned before she started chuckling along with him. Serena shook her head but burst into laughter as well.
"I always swore Damon wasnt a pimp, but now Im not so sure," Serena said ruefully.
"Hey," he said in protest. "Can I help it if desperate women keep throwing themselves at me and begging me to help?"
"Hes got you there," Julie said as she dug her elbow into Serenas side. "Between you, me and Faith, the mans got enough experience to run a whorehouse. "
"Oh, Im sure he had plenty of experience before we came along," Serena said dryly.
