Chapter Fourteen
Sofiawasonsensory overload since they had walked into The Citadel. Now, after watching the scene Ozzie set up for them, she was eager for more. Not just more sex, sure, that was part of it, but this relationship they were building with each other was something she never dared to dream of. Ozzie was comfortable with who he was, both in and out of the bedroom. Sofia had the confidence she needed to make her way through life and take care of herself. She always wondered if there was more to her sexuality. They walked from their viewing room, down the hall and to the center stage. Ozzie held her hand as he escorted her through the crowd that had grown since the beginning of the night.
“Are you okay?” he said into her ear as she came to a dead stop.
“I... um... what is that?” she asked quietly as she pointed toward the stage.
“Shibari. It’s the art of rope tying for restraint and pleasure.”
Sofia couldn’t pull her eyes from the woman who was suspended over the stage by nothing but ropes. She was face down and her partner was laying underneath her, running his fingers softly over her exposed breasts. She had a look of utter relaxation. Her eyes were closed, and she had a small smile on her face. Sofia couldn’t hear what her partner was saying, but whatever it was, the words had the intended effect.
“It’s fascinating, isn’t it?”
“Yes, rope work is a very intricate practice. There are only a handful of truly talented riggers that are part of the club. When Roman books them for the main stage, they always pull in quite a crowd.”
“Do you know them?”
“Not personally. Would you like to watch?”
“If you wouldn’t mind.”
“Tonight is for you, sweet Nixie. Come, sit with me.”
Sofia followed Ozzie toward the front of the stage. There were two men seated on a couch and when they saw them walk in their direction, they stood to move.
“Ozzie, good to see you friend,” the taller man said when they reached him.
“Auggie, it’s been a while.”
“That it has. Who’s this?”
“Sofia, I’d like you to meet Auggie Walker and Zane Andrews. This is Sofia, my girlfriend.”
“It’s a pleasure to meet such a beautiful woman, even if she’s attached herself to this slop of a man,” Zane said, giving her a wink as he reached for her hand and kissed it.
“Watch yourself, Zane,” Ozzie said with a laugh, “Auggie is one of the riggers I mentioned earlier, however, he rarely agrees to a public performance.”
Auggie shrugged. “We were just heading out. Here, have a seat. Sofia, it was great to meet you.”
The two men said their goodbyes as Sofia sat on the couch. Once the distraction of them was gone, she could no longer pull her eyes from the woman in ropes. The room was silent, unlike Roman’s presentation with her husbands. There was no music on and now that she was close to the stage, Sofia could hear the breaths of the woman and the man’s sweet murmurings to her. He gazed at his partner as if he had never seen something so spectacular, and Sofia couldn’t help but wonder what it would feel like to be someone’s entire world. She looked over at Ozzie, who turned when he felt her gaze on him. Could she ever be that person for him? Would she ever be enough?
“Are you alright?” he asked, pulling her closer to him.
“Yes, I’m wonderful.”
They stayed where they were until the performance was over. It wasn’t until the woman was lowered into her partners awaiting arms that she dared to glance away. Ozzie stood and reached his hand out to her. The heat in his eyes was unmistakable and she felt a blush run through her body as she placed her hand in his.
“Are you ready?” he whispered into her ear before they moved forward.
Sofia nodded her agreement, and they made their way back to the room he had reserved for them. When they got back, she used the attached bathroom to freshen herself up. The club was cool inside, but her skin was heated with excitement the entire time. When she stepped out of the bathroom, she couldn’t help but gasp. Ozzie had undressed and laid on the white down comforter. His colorful tattoos were a stark contract to the light colored fabric, but what caught her attention was his long hard cock in his hand. He watched her approach as he stroked himself slowly.
“Undress for me,” he said in a gruff voice, “Let me see you.”
The command lit something deep inside her as she pulled off her thin t-shirt. After arriving at The Citadel and seeing everyone dressed for the night, she vowed to herself to leave things like t-shirts and jeans home the next time they came. If there was a next time. Now that she had a taste of this whole new world, she didn’t know what to do about it. It wasn’t something she was willing to give up, but if things didn’t work out between her and Ozzie, she didn’t know if she’d be allowed back.
His eyes were glued to her as she slid out of her heels and jeans. Standing before him in nothing but his favorite black lace panty and bra set, she smiled as she lifted her hand and caressed her breast, pinching her nipple hard between her fingers.
“You are exquisite.”
