Trading Places

Chapter 14

Nick

Why the fuck wasn't Jen answering her phone? I did not trust that fucking bastard Joe. I had just gotten back from driving Laurie back to her car. Still no answer. Fuck Jen. I raked my hands through my curls. I grabbed my cell, keys and wallet and headed out again.

Laurie

I could not believe what the hell I walked in on when I got home. I went to Joe's room to try to talk to him. He opened the door just a smidge.

"Get the fuck out Laur." Joe growled.

"Joe we need to talk." I persisted.

"No Laur, you made your fucking allegences clear, get the fuck out of my room!" I heard a stifled moan and looked past him. I pushed him out of the way.

"Oh my God!!!!" I said as I took in the sight before me. Joe had Jen tied, bound and gagged on the bed.

"Joseph Adams! Do you have any idea how much fucking trouble this is going to cause?" I yelled."You know, you two bitches crack me the fuck up, thinking that curly mess is all that. Let him try and put a fucking hand on me, in fact I fucking welcome the chance for a showdown with that fucking asshole." Joe went on a tirade.

"Joe, you have got to untie her and let her go now!" I screamed.

"You do not tell me what to do!" He screamed back with force.

"Joe, this is not you. You are a sub." I tried to reason.

"Maybe I'm having a fucking identity crisis, ok?"

"No you're not."

"Now, you need to get out and leave me and Jen be and not say a fucking word, or else." He said in a tone I had never heard from him before.

"Seriously, you are threatening me Joseph? Who the fuck are you?" I spat.

"Certainly not the wimp you seem to think I am!"

"What are you talking about? Joey you are making no freaking sense." I whined loudly.

"Yeah, I am." He pulled me in the room, where I was trying to convey to Jen with my eyes, that I was going to try to get her loose.

"SIT DOWN." Joe pushed me in the chair.

"Both of you are going to fucking listen. I may like being a sub, but first and foremost, I am a man. A man who does not take well having to compete with another man, for not 1 but for the attention of 2 women. So for a while at least, until the two of you realize that I will not be ignored or come in second, the two of you will be taught a lesson that you will not soon forget." For the first time since Joe and I had met I was afraid.

"Joe, we are not romantically or even sexually involved, please tell me what I did." I asked.

"You cannot fucking sit there and play all miss innocent act on me. I know that even you are not that fucking stupid! You fucking run to Nick and tell him I hurt you? That fucking hurts. You have been my best friend for at least 12 years and you are going to fucking backstab me? Yeah I would say that you need to be taught a lesson as well as this bitch who thinks she can punish me for infractions I haven't even committed. Now take off your clothes!" he demanded.

"What? Joe, you have lost your mind." I yelled back

"Maybe I have, but not my voice, I told you to strip." I guess I didn't move fast enough for him because he grabbed me by the hair, ripped off my clothes and cuffed my wrists behind my back roughly. Joe grabbed my hair and pushed me on the bed.

"That's more like it. I want some girl on girl action while one of you fucks me and one of you sucks me. Got it?"

"No Joe." I said boldly. Jen grunted with the gag in her mouth, not quite sure what she was trying to convey. When I looked into her eyes, I thought I might have seen fear, but could that have actually been possible?

"WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?" Joe said through clenched teeth grabbing my face hard.

"I said no. Joseph. N-O." Crack. Before I knew it, Joe had backhanded me hard across the face and Jen let out a loud whimper. I heard the bedroom door burst open and a loud male familiar voice scream.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE??" I saw Nick take in the scene around him, Jen tied up and gagged, whimpering, and me on my knees, hands cuffed behind me and Joe slapping me around. Nick's eyes were black with anger, I had never seen such rage come across the face of one human being before in my life. I was so afraid, terrified for us all. Terrified that Nick would kill Joe, or Joe would kill Nick. What I think I was most afraid of was that I would never see Nick again after tonight.
