Defiant Benefactor

On my Own, Naturally.......Somewhat

Obviously my new found dominant powers had nothing on very established dominant powers. When I got back to the house and was getting a bottle of water from the bar, who should walk in, but Roman, Nico, Ian, Bubba and Chloe. “Well I guess it’s good some people believed me; care to let me in on why you didn’t?” Roman and Nico looked at me like a parent looks at a child that threw a tantrum, Ian looked like his reason was hopefully round 2 and my brother and his wife looked amused. “I am now going to bed, you three clowns can do what you want without me, Bubba you’re on your own.” I turned and started walking up the staircase as my phone gave out the song ‘Danny Boy.’ Right, Danny Barry, my second in command, who would only call if something was going toilet mode in Ireland. I kept going to my room as I pressed the answer button.

“Go.”

“Mrs. O’Riley, this is Danny, someone is making a hostile bid for Tulach.”

“Nice to hear from you Danny, any idea who the jerk or jerkess is?”

“Yes, it is Komodo.”

“That little shit. I’ll take care of this in the morning, thanks. Oh, Danny could you open the Dublin House, I’ll be there soon. Also, start closing the Waterford one.”

I put my phone down and rub my stomach. Didn’t think it would be that soon that I had to deal with him. Christ, I just got Hiro straightened out.  I never knew why or when I would speak that familiar sentence to a strange boy, now man.  I didn’t have a schedule when they would appear, I just knew they would. There were always 10 not counting my brother, five on either side of him. I also knew in my heart my Sheik was the next. Didn’t know when yet, but I knew the why. I fell asleep knowing tomorrow was going to be one of those crazy days.

I got up early the next morning ready for battle. I was armed with a black power suit, skirt mid-thigh, pink blouse and my killer heels. I had put my hair up in a messy type bun. Fending off the 3 amigos I made it to the New York Headquarters of Komodo. “Mrs. O’Riley to see Mr.Tanaka, just let him know I’m here.” It didn’t take long for my samurai to show up in front of me. I cut him off before he could even say anything. “What the hell Aki, do you have a death wish?” He looked at me stunned and ushered me into his office, his assistant, Nao, standing there. “Riley san what are you talking about?” Now I was stunned, I had come to do battle and it seemed there wasn’t one around. I looked at Aki and he looked at me, suddenly he blurted out, “your Seamus O’Riley’s widow!!?”  I just nodded to him, looking a bit confused. “Nao, did you know about this? He was looking furiously at Nao. “No, Aki, I had no idea! Is she going to be really mad?” They both looked over at me and I threw them the what-do-you-think look.

After an hour of Aki telling people to never mention Ireland again on pain of firing, we finally got to the other business. “Is it my time, Lotus?”  I just shook my head yes and sat down. Something was in the air and I felt that there was a shift in the group dynamic, whatever it was a new path was forming. “I am sorry, but I will have to decline, Riley san. My submissive is Nao” Okay, now I could deal with this. “Aki, I would assume that no one outside ‘the clubs’ knows about this? I could tell from his expression he was so far in the closet, he was in Narnia. “Uh, Riley, my background and ethnicity puts a damper on it.” Yup, knew that one too, Aki’s father had a pole up his ass, he was that straight. The answer wasn’t that hard, it was just going to do some damage to me, like that mattered. “Okay, this is what we are going to do. Aki and Nao, you are now my 10th doms. Nao, you’re just going to have to step up and play the part, for all intents and purposes, Nao you are my samurai and Aki, you are my sensei. Thank God, I don’t have to learn another language!” We all sat, with Nao looking extremely nervous, to discuss their meeting with Roman and Nico. Once we had their ok, we were set. “I called Hiro and the wife, told them I would have someone get my stuff and get it to Aki’s home. Hiro was overjoyed and thought Aki’s father would be pleased. Shit, I thought the old man might cry when Aki called to tell him about me.

Roman and Nico were trying to patiently wait for Riley’s return; the term trying was the key. They had become great friends, almost like brothers over the last few months and neither was willing to give Riley up. Ian had departed for some meetings and it had left the 2 senior dominants to their own devices, which according to Riley was never a good thing.

“Roman, do you think Riley is going to go along with what we planned?”

“Nico, I have no idea what is running through that switch’s mind now. I’m think we may have to retrain her submissive side again.”

“Oh yeah, like that wasn’t fun the last time.”

Both the men had their own thoughts on how Riley’s training had gone when she turned 18. Riley and her brother had just lost both their parents and both had considerable wealth; so much so that they didn’t know if Riley was going to go along with anything. She hadn’t come to find them like the others; no they had come to find her, knowing it was time. How they knew, they never did know, just that it was. She had been overjoyed to see them and with her brother learned what she had promised them many years before. For some strange reason, Riley had thought they were boyfriends and was shocked when they had whisked her off to Rome to begin her training. The next 6 months were like pulling teeth, trying to lead a horse to water and herding cats. No they weren’t going to pick out her clothes, no they weren’t going to tell her where she could go and no they weren’t going to tell her how to act. She had just been given her freedom and no one was going to ride herd on her. Roman and Nico had about given up on the whole idea when one day Riley came in as submissive as you please. No explanation was given for the miracle.

Roman and Nico had had other submissives and except for Nico’s matrimonial mistake of a few months, they hadn’t had girlfriends, each was waiting for Riley. They had long talks about her over the years and had tried to find her when she went missing. Bubba was the only one who had known and had kept them away. He had told them that for all intents and purposes Riley had gone from them and may not come back. More than 3 years had come and gone before Roman had heard from her about stopping Nico. It was almost impersonal and Roman was shocked at the tone of her voice, like they had never shared anything. Then the mass IM to all of them out of the blue except Nico. He had finally gotten the whole sordid story from Bubba. Riley had been beaten almost to death and raped. Riley had no conscious memory as to who it was, but under hypnosis she had told. It hadn’t been a mugger, it had been Nico’s brother Theo. Theo who thought Riley was supposed to go to him, not his brother. Roman had left that out when he told the others, Theo had run off to God-knows-where and vanished. Roman hoped for his sake he stayed that way, but he didn’t think he would.

I walked in to find Roman and Nico sitting like the doms they were. The only phrase that came to mind was ‘Gentlemen start your engines!’ The looked like they were trying to get out of gear without much success. Something was on their minds and I really didn’t want to play piss-off-the-doms. They both got up and came over each grabbing a wrist, ok, we were in the dom state and I was to be submissive. I only had one problem with this; I always had one or the other, never both.

“Uh, Master, hmmmm Masters?” Ok. This was too weird. They both had something to say and it seemed like they were as nervous as I was getting.

“Bella, Nico and I have something to tell you. We have talked at great length about this.” Roman turned me towards him, both still holding on. “Bella, Riley, I have loved you since the first time I met you. There will never be anyone for me, but you.” He leaned forward and brushed my lips with his, looking over to Nico.

“Loki, Riley, I must also tell you that there will be no one that can take your place in my heart. I had thought I could replace you, but it was a mistake. I have never loved anyone as I love you” Nico leaned towards me and brushed his lips to mine.

Weird went right out the window, I looked at Roman and then Nico, apprehension was written on their faces. All I could think of was a 6 month pregnant woman doing a ménage on a California king. I did what any red-blooded woman would do, I passed out.
