Chapter 164: Stephon
Jewel hadn't taken her eyes off the pair since entering the room, and was surprised at the tender look he gave the woman when he released her. He walked over and Jewel realized her mouth hung open. She snapped it closed, glad that she didn't bite her tongue. The man was as striking as Krispin, but possessed far more power.
He hugged Angela. "She's not behaving at all today. Krispin gave her permission to work with you, so maybe if you're in the mood, you can relieve some of her tension."
"Leave my sub alone," Lydia said from behind Damian.
"Yes, dear." The gorgeous man turned to Jewel. "And you belong to Matt and Stephon."
She felt his non-existent touch clear to her toes and before she could answer, the redhead swatted his shoulder, causing him to move over with a low, husky laugh.
The woman took Jewel's hand. "I'm Lydia and this toad is my husband, Damian. He's just mad because our babysitter is on vacation and I'm managing the club tonight."
"Who's with Abigail?" Angela asked.
"Carl for now, but my husband needs to go up and rescue the poor man."
"Yes, the sooner the better," Angela said and turned to Jewel. "Their little one is a hellion."
"Without Raul here she's running wild." Damian swatted his wife's ass and then walked over to the elevator at the back of the office. "You ladies have fun tonight. If I don't come out of this alive, please remember I went down under protest."
Lydia laughed and then waived her husband away. There was a soft bing when the elevator arrived and another when the doors closed. She turned to Jewel, "It would be my pleasure to grab my bullwhip and take it to the person who attacked you. We could even wait there early tomorrow morning and if the scumbag comes back, I'll strip every piece of skin from his body, very slowly, and keep a smile on my face while doing it."
Jewel gave a sigh of relief. No pity, nothing but anger for what happened. She liked this woman. "Matt and Stephon have made me promise not to leave the hotel this weekend or I'd take you up on it."
"Another time then. Let's go grab a drink. I need a margarita. Damian is insisting on another child and I'll be cut off from alcohol for another year. I just finished breastfeeding the tiger, so I want to enjoy a buzz while I have the chance. No alcohol for you tonight, Angela, you're all mine."
"Yes, Mistress." Angela seemed happy to say the words.
"Here, put this on." Lydia handed Jewel a yellow bracelet. "It's a bright color so the Doms and Dommes can see it in the club and no one bothers you. If for some reason anyone misses it, just say no and they'll leave you alone. Angela tells me you're new to our lifestyle and decided to take on our dual bad boys?" Lydia took Jewel's hand and led her from the office.
"Yes, I guess."
"You'll have lots of questions tonight and there are no stupid ones. Just ask and either myself or Angela will explain. I'm planning to work with Angela a little this evening. Krispin left me a few instructions and he'll be disappointed if I don't find the time."
Jewel looked over her shoulder at Angela. She walked with her head down, but had a slight smile on her face.
"Stop smiling, Angela. You're not supposed to like what I have planned."
"Yes, Mistress."
Jewel ordered a margarita, remembering what Stephon said about drinking alcohol if she wanted to. If there was any time she needed a drink, she had a feeling tonight was it.
They moved to a table and Jewel sat down, but felt extremely uncomfortable when Angela knelt on the floor beside Lydia. Lydia handed her a bottle of water. "Drink as much as you need and then place the bottle between your legs and hold it there."
"Yes, Mistress."
Lydia turned to Jewel. "You look shocked."
Jewel realized Lydia was speaking to her. "Um, I guess I am."
"Krispin is worried about Angela being away from him, so I'm helping out a little. After her and I play, she'll show you around and the two of you can talk about what you see. Do you have any questions so far?"
Jewel's eyes repeatedly returned to the large carousel that took up much of the front space of the club. "What's it for?" Her voice sounded nervous even to her ears.
"It's kind of like a timeout. You're welcome to ride it if you want. Our rules state any sub on the carousel is off limits except to their master. Or an unclaimed sub can get on, relax, and unwind. It's very soothing. I bring my daughter down here in the mornings sometimes."
The comment stunned Jewel. "You bring your daughter here?"
"I know this is a lot for you to take in, but this is who we are. We don't apologize. My daughter sees me in these or similar clothes all the time. I'm not ashamed of this, and my daughter will grow up knowing what goes on here. She'll be too young to come in at any time but the mornings for many, many years. At that time, she can choose to check out this lifestyle or take another path. Quite a few of us suffered because of what and who we are. If Damian was another woman we wouldn't hide the fact we're gay. It's really not that different." Throughout the entire recitation Lydia's voice stayed calm and even.
It made Jewel feel ashamed. "I'm sorry. That was really rude of me. I'm doing my best not to judge and I appreciate you explaining it to me. It makes perfect sense now. I'm looking at being in a relationship with two men. I would never hide it from my child."
"You're catching on, Jewel. You'll see some things tonight that will make you uncomfortable. Hell, they still make me feel that way sometimes. If you don't want to watch, walk away, ask questions, and reserve your judgment until you have time to process things."
"I can do that." Jewel let out a relieved breath. She knew she could do it.
"Are you ready to play, little bird?" Lydia asked.
"Yes, Mistress. I'm more than ready," Angela answered, her excitement apparent.
"You might not like me very much before we're finished, but please blame your evil husband."
"I'd be happy to, Mistress."
Jewel walked with Lydia to a back alcove having no idea what awaited.
