Tied

Chapter 18

Once Tom left Grant asked, "Are you OK?" Mia looked at him and said, "I am going to pack my stuff and go home. Tomorrow I will call Beverly and give in, I will tell her I have walked away. I am sorry for everything my family and I have put you through." Grant looked at her and said, "What are you saying, I don't want you to go, why are you saying this?" Mia looked at him and said, "If Beverly tells your parents, it will out me, which I could live with, but it will out you as well, and I don't want to be responsible for hurting your relationship with your parents. And knowing Beverly, she will dig and what if she finds out about Jade and Jasmine and/or Gavin and Matt. I will not risk people I love being hurt and the way to stop this train is for me to give in and give her what she wants." With that Mia turned and headed to the bedroom to pack.

Grant called both Jade and Gavin and asked them to come back with their significant others, then he went to the bedroom to try and talk some sense into Mia. She had finished packing and he said, "At least wait until tomorrow to leave. She will not know if you go home tonight." Mia was trying to explain why it would be just as easy to leave tonight when the doorbell rang. Grant took her hand and led her to the living room and when he opened the door Jade and Jasmine were standing on the porch. Grant opened the door wide to let them into the house, and before he could close the door Gavin and Matt walked up so he let them inside.

Once everyone was inside and had sat down, Grant said, "Mia's father revealed a lot to us tonight, but the biggest thing was that Beverly knows that Mia is a sub. And her way of hurting and/or controlling her is to reveal that information, and the most painful place to do that would be to tell my parents." When he stopped everyone tried to ask questions, but he raised his hand and then continued, "The reason I called you back here tonight is because Mia is afraid that Beverly will dig and may find out that each of you is in the lifestyle as well. And she has decided to move back to her apartment and to call Beverly tomorrow and give in and do whatever she asks."

Jade jumped up and said, "You can't do that." Mia shook her head and said, "I am not going to let her hurt people I love. So, the easy way to get over all of this is for me to just give in and let her have her way. That way none of you have to tell your parents or family anything." Gavin said, "Wait, you are giving in to protect us, I can't and won't accept that sacrifice." All the others agreed, but Mia said, "If she tells your parents about me, then they are going to know about Grant and if she looks, she will see you and him own the club. You all have great relationships with your families, I can't be the reason that sours."

Grant took her hand and said, "I will call my parent right now and tell them rather than let you give in to her." The others all agreed but Mia still resisted and said, "You don't know what it is like to have a bad relationship with your family, and I don't want any of you to experience that." Gavin walked over and squatted in front of Mia and said, "Mia, your family relationship is tinting your perspective. Think about it for a minute, can you see any circumstance where Angie and Tim would not support Jade? You met our parents and saw their love for us, do you think they would turn on us? When you have a good relationship with your family, they support you and that is what we are doing for you. You are our family, and we are going to support you, whether you like it or not."

Everyone was nodding in agreement and Mia began to cry, she had never felt such love and support before, and she knew they would protect her to the ends of the earth. Grant pulled her close and let her cry for as long as she needed. When she finished crying, Grant said, "OK how do we address this issue? I personally think we should cut her off at the knees and tell our parents, but that is just my opinion." Jade said, "Well my mom already knows, but not my dad, I will talk to mom about if we should tell him or not." Gavin looked at Grant and said, "I agree with you, we don't have to go into a lot of detail, but if we tell them first, she has no hold over Mia."

Since it was only nine o'clock Jade and Jasmine decided to go over to Angie and Tim's house and talk. Before they left, they hugged Mia and Grant and then said they would call when they were done. Grant nodded to Gavin and picked up his phone and dialed his mother's phone number, and when she answered he said, "Hi mom, is dad around?" Grace replied, "Sure he is sitting right next to me why?" Grant asked if they were home and alone and she said yes. Grant said, "Mom, put me on speaker please." When she said she had done so he continued, "Beverly Taylor has found out something that could be embarrassing or shocking about Mia and me, and possibly Gavin and Matt. She is planning on telling you and dad to drive a wedge between you and us. Mia tried to leave tonight and give into Beverly because she did not want to drive any type of wedge between parents and sons, but Gavin and I convinced her not to go. We would rather tell you than let Beverly win."

When he stopped speaking, Glenn said, "First we love you all and nothing she says, or you say will ever change that. Second, your private life is just that private, we know you are grown men and what you do in your bedroom is your own business. I can only guess it is something sexual since it involves you and Mia. And we will not condemn you for anything." Grant looked at Gavin and smiled and Gavin said, "We love you guys too, and we trust you enough to tell you." Before he could say more Grace said, "Does this have anything to do with the club you two own? If it does, we know about the club and have for a while." Glenn said, "Boys we are not so old that we don't know about alternative lifestyles, and we found out about the club when Gavin's lawyer sent some paperwork to our house by mistake. We simply sent it on to you like we had never seen it."

Grant and Gavin both sighed and Gavin said, "We were not trying to do it behind your back, we just did not think you would understand." Glenn asked, "Is the club profitable?" Grant said, "More so than any of his other clubs." Glenn said, "Will you let your mother and I invest in it." Gavin immediately said, "No, the last thing I want is for you to come check out your investment." Grace laughed and said, "Well we could just join the club." Both Grant and Gavin groaned, and Gavin said, "I can give you names and addresses of clubs closer to you if you want to join a club, just please never tell me if you use the information."

Glenn and Grace both laughed and Grace said, "That is OK we know where the clubs nearest to us are." Grant and Gavin had such looks of horror on their faces that Mia and Matt burst out laughing. Matt said, "I knew I liked y'all from the minute I met you but seeing the look you just put on Gavin's face is priceless and I adore you even more." Mia said, "Grace I want to go out to lunch with you and just chat, something tells me I could learn a lot." Matt immediately jumped in and said, "Me too, don't forget me."

Grant and Gavin both told their parents they loved them and would talk to them soon and when Grant hung up the phone, Gavin asked, "Do you think they were kidding?" Grant shrugged and said, "I have no clue. Matt said, "I can picture it." Mia agreed and said, "Me too, and I think Grace is the Dom." Both brothers shuddered and Gavin said, "Don't say things like that." Matt laughed and said, "She would look hot in thigh high boot and a tight corset." Gavin stood up and said, "Let's go, I am taking you home and spanking your ass for putting that picture in my head." Matt stood up and kissed his cheek and said, "Yes sir, whatever you say sir." Causing everyone to laugh, even Gavin.

Jade called shortly after Gavin and Matt left and said, "I talked to mom, and she thinks that if Beverly is going to talk to one of them it will be her. She is going to act shocked and outraged, then hang up and laugh her butt off because she already knew." Mia smiled picturing Angie saying just that, then asked, "What about your dad and brothers?" Jade replied, "We decided if Beverly pushed it and told them, she would tell them to forget about it because they did not need to know about my sex life. And if they persisted, she would tell them they had to tell me about their sex life. Which I honestly hope they don't do." Mia laughed and said, "Well I promise to sit with you if it comes to that."

When Mia hung up the phone, Grant looked at her and said, "We still need to deal with her, but one not tonight and two we will do it together." Mia nodded and said, "Thank you." As she said it, she climbed onto his lap and straddled him, she then leaned into him and kissed him deeply, pressing up against him. Grant laughed and stood up with her straddling him and carried her to the bedroom. Once he laid her on the bed, he quickly took off her clothes and said, "As much as I would love to do wicked things to you, we need to get some rest and you to decide how we should approach your mother."
