I don't know when Chapter 11 will be posted, as I'm working through some continuity issues with it, but here is Chapter 10!
*****
Bitsy awoke between two warm, masculine bodies. Stuart's was the more familiar of the two and the one whose arms encircled her. His even breathing indicated that he still slept the sleep of the sated.
Marcos, on the other hand, was very awake as evidenced by his hand stroking tingles of heat over every inch of her he could reach. His cock, hard and eager, gave away his obsession with her curves. Curves that he had possessed last night in countless ways...feral ways...as the full moon held them all in thrall.
Not for the first time, he nipped at her, this time on the back of the neck and hard enough to draw blood. When she squirmed a bit, although not enough to wake Stuart, he laughed even as he licked and slurped. "Alpha's right," he singsonged in the same voice of last night.
"And now for the gentleness I promised you," Marcos deftly moved her out of Stuart's arms and into his, facing him, her nipples, still sore from clamps and teeth the night before, were abraided to painful life as they brushed against the pelt on his chest. His lips caught hers as she hissed her nipples' displeasure.
Soon, the kiss turned passionate...as well as another adjective Bitsy dare not name. Loving, her traitorous mind supplied.
She slid her arms around his neck to thread her fingers through his wine-hued hair, now so like a debauched son of Dionysus she couldn't believe it. Bitsy pulled back and looked him over. There was a new arrogance that hadn't existed within Marcos before last night.
"Good morning," spoke Stuart behind her, as he gave her ass a very pointed smack.
"Mmm, morning, Master," she purred. Bitsy felt the dip of the bed as he rose to head to the bathroom.
"I'll leave out the other door so that you two can have some alone time."
Marcos looked up, shocked, to question Stuart. "I thought you wanted to only share Bitsy together."
A look of pained uncertainty clouded Stuart's face before he managed to get himself back under control. "I know that you both need to find your footing in this brave new world your desire for that slug, Alyssa Mason, created. I'm not too stupid to realize that you probably want her all to yourself for a bit. I'm being generous, brother. Don't take advantage."
The brothers shared some form of silent communication that Bitsy couldn't even begin to comprehend before Stuart turned to walk toward the steamy bathroom. "Master?" What she was asking, she didn't know.
He turned, bending to brush his lips with hers, the most gentle kiss they'd ever shared. He smiled a smile that didn't reach his eyes. "It will be okay, slave. We will all decide how we go from here."
Bitsy couldn't quite suppress a shivering sense of loss. Yes, she wanted Marcos, perhaps even loved him. But her feelings for Marcos were nothing compared to what she felt for Stuart. Maybe his obsession was starting to cool, as Marcos had hoped.
She turned back to Marcos and was shocked to see the possession there. "What happens now?" Bitsy asked.
"What do you mean?" His reply was evasive.
"I mean, later today, Alyssa Mason and her secretary return to the IPD offices. What happens there?" Her look of befuddlement forced another kiss from him.
A hopeful glint in his eye this morning should have warned her of his reply, "Lots of closed door meetings?"
"How is that fair to my Master?"
"Which one? You forget, you now serve two Masters. And if you look at it honestly, you serve two Masters because you are so absolutely delicious and desirable."
"A slave can't serve two Masters," she retorted. "And, besides, that was only on full moon nights, right?"
"Honey, I'm alpha, and what I say goes. You will find me a more benevolent Master than Tristan and definitely more so than my behavior last night, but the fact remains that if I order you to strip in front of every IPD employee in the office in downtown Paris, you will do so and thank me for the privilege of being able to serve me." The arrogant tone of the alpha rang clearly through his speech.
Bitsy, stunned, could only ask, "But you wouldn't, would you?" Part of her desperately hoped for an answer in the negative while the rest was wondering what would happen if his answer were positive.
Surprising her again, he replied, "I just might. Unless we have a few of those closed door meetings. A satiated Master is more inclined to be kind."
The submissive within dewed at the possibility, while the former Ice Queen part of her wanted to bristle at him. In the end, the Ice Queen won, or maybe the submissive let her win. "And what if I don't want a kind Master?"
"My dear Bitsy, you forget yourself. I'm trying hard to be kind, and you, in return, are being a brat. I may have to borrow my brother's cane."
Both submissive and Ice Queen quaked at the thought of the cane. "Please, no," she breathed.
"Why not?" he countered, pretty sure he knew her reason.
"It makes me wet."
"Mmmmmmmmm. I know."
"Please, Master, no." At being referred to as her Master, the feral light again appeared in his eyes.
He stroked his chin, setting off a daydream for her that he might stroke parts of her with that purposeful finger. "So tempting, though. What am I to call you?"
