Tangled Hearts (From the "Bound By Desire" series)

13. Crazy Romance

The phone in the kitchen rang, as Ben and I were setting the table. "I'll get it." I told Mary as she was filling the main plates. I picked up the phone. "Mr. Ryder's residence, how may I help you?"
"Last night was just the beginning, there is more where that came from."
"Who are you?" I demanded, angrily.
"You'll find out soon enough." The voice said. Then the call ended. I dialed Damien's office.
"Iris, you can't disturb me while-"
"He said he's not done hurting me."
"Who?"
"The person who hurt me last night. He called and said last night was just beginning. He said there's more where that came from."
"Who was he?"
"I don't know. I asked but he said that I'll find out soon enough."
"I'll be home soon." He said, roughly.
"Alright."
"And Iris." I moved closer to the phone holder.
"Yes, Damien?"
"I want you in a dress. Dark red. Got that?"
"Yes, sir."
"Good girl. And one more thing."
"Yes, sir?"
"No bra or underwear, you won't need them."
"Y-yes, sir." Once the call ended, I went to the room next to his where Drina's clothes were. I pulled out a short, knee-length, dark red dress with straps. It was covered over with black lace. I paired it with her black heels. Mary fixed my hair and I met him at the door. His eyes took me in, growing dark. He smiled licking his lips.
"Perfect. Let's go." He said taking my hand. "Jared and Victoria are going to the same restaurant, but we'll at a different table on the same floor."
"Yes, sir." We got into the back seat of the car and Victoria was in the front passenger seat.
"Hey, you two. Victoria, greet Damien and his sub." She turned to the back at us, smiling.
"Hi, Damien, sir. Hi, Iris."
"Hi, Victoria. Iris, say hi to Jared and Victoria."
"H-hi, Jared, sir. Hi, Victoria." I saw him smile from the mirror.
"Hi, Iris. Damien, what's been happenin' at work?"
"Not really much. I had an important meeting with the police today. That fucker is causing me a headache on Iris's account. Nothing personal to you, Iris." He rubbed my back. "It's just that-"
"You can't lose me, I know."
"Yes, you have value to me. Your life has a purpose in my world extending past bdsm, Iris. I would die for you, Iris."
"Damien, I-"
"If it came to it-"
"It won't, Damien."
"Interrupt me again and I'll put a gag on you so you can't talk."
"Pulling my hair could, mm-" he grabbed my hair pulling back but also to him so that his mouth was right at my ear. His breath was on it, making my body very tingly and warm. "Defy me again. Please try me. Because I'll give you another of that night at the club in our room."
"Is that a threat or a promise, sir?"
"Oh, Iris. You're in no position to test my limits. That won't end well. I suggest you tread your waters carefully, I'm not afraid to walk you there myself over my shoulders. And if you at anytime cum, you will be punished."
"Yes, sir."
"That's my good girl." Once at our table, we sat. We enjoyed delicious different foods. When we got to dessert, I decided to test him by pretentiously innocent in teasing him.
"Mm.........this apple pie is delicious........" He leaned in, smiling as his eyes grew dark. His chin propped on his hand.
"Tempting me, Iris? How bold of you." His voice told me he was enjoying my bold pretentious act.
"I don't believe I know what you mean, sir."
"I believe you do, Iris. And if I get too hard, you will also be punished. Is that understood, Iris?"
"Yes, sir."
"Iris, I swear it, I will carry you out of this restaurant over my shoulder if you continue this bratty behavior."
"But I am just enjoying my pie."
"I'm only warning you, Iris. Next time, you'll be over my shoulders."
"Mm............so good.............." I said, as I licked the spoon, seductively. Soon I was over Damien's shoulder, down the elevator, and out the front of the restaurant. Soon we were outside of the bdsm club. I grew nervous as he carried me through the crowd and to our room. Once in the room, he set me on my feet.
"Bodysuit and position now."
"Yes, sir." I said, doing as I was told.
"Good girl." He said, taking off his suit, tie, button up, and t-shirt.
