Chapter 29

Cathy had a suggestion. "Helena, instead of leaving, why don't you stay for the evening, perhaps even overnight. After all you've been through, you could use a bit of cheering up."

"Wouldn't it interfere with your plans?"

"I've seen my plans shift quite a bit in the last hour." She gave Rob a cool look. "However, I have some new ideas I'm eager to try. Helena, you may be very helpful.

"But tomorrow morning, Rob, I will use bondage on you again, differently than today. It will be just you and I for that. In the afternoon I want to take a drive with you in a dress. I'll tell you the details tomorrow." Rob didn't respond, making a mental note he would, at the right time, challenge going in public in a dress.

She had one more command. "Give Helena another kiss, Rob, she needs them."

Rob and Helena found their kisses grew more passionate.

Suddenly they heard Cathy gasp. "I saw a man peeking at us!"

"That can't be, the curtains are closed."

"No, look, that curtain there isn't completely closed, look! Rob, I'm afraid! Suppose this is Iris sending someone to exact her revenge."

Rob cursed and whistled Inca and Nicky. He put a coat on over his maid's uniform and went outside, trembling with rage. The dogs noticed his mood and acted aggressively, they started to growl and cast about excitedly looking for prey. Once outside he couldn't see anything, he walked from the front door to the back door, still nothing. He decided to let go the dogs. They ran behind Cathy's funroom building and started barking.

He heard a man's voice. "Call back your dogs, please." Rob ran to where the sound was coming from and saw Inca and Nicky had cornered a man.

"What are you doing here?" Rob, his voice angry. He could see the fear in the man's face, despite the poor lighting.

"Nothing, I was walking down the street toward home when your dogs attacked me."

"They didn't attack, they just frightened you. You don't seem to have been bitten."

"No, but they could have."

"Okay, what's your name? I'll check it with Doctor Mahan. You say you live where?"

"Harrison. You can see my house, just there."

"I'm sorry, we had a peeping tom and the doctor was scared, that's why I let the dogs loose. So sorry. Goodnight."

Rob went back to the house, walking all the way around it again. He saw no sign.

He was shivering a bit from the tension, recognizing the adrenaline rushing through his body again. Wait, adrenaline? Cathy set him up, there was no peeping tom. He returned inside, back to the living room, pulled Cathy over his knee, pulled down her knickers and gave her four pretty hard blows on her beautiful bum.

She moaned and smiled. "More, give me more." He gave her four more. Cathy's bum was red, but she had enjoyed it, he saw by the expression in her face.

"There was no intruder, right? This was another test."

Cathy kissed him. "It went perfectly well, don't you think? A medium adrenaline rush, not as heavy as earlier, but still you didn't show any signs of blacking out or whatever."

"No, I feel fine."

"I loved your spanking, thank you dearest." Cathy gave him a wicked smile. "But you know you may not spank your Mistress. You must be punished. Whenever your butt is healed, I shall administer quite the red bottom."

"Then I shall keep a distance between you and I, you know I don't like pain all that much." Rob was between serious and joking.

"No, Rob, I'd never hurt you. Just soft S&M play, nothing harsh. Your Mistress needs you, I do have other needs than sex, my mental health is at stake like yours. I need to play sometimes and if it can't be you, I'll take another slave who does want it."

"Good! Find a whipping boy. Saves me the pain."

Cathy was flabbergasted. "You mean it don't you? After everything I did for you, will do for you?"

"Why do you mistresses always think what you do is pleasurable? Suppose you want me to cum and I am not in the mood, you think it fun for me? Absolutely not, I must be horny, you must be horny, there has to be an opportunity, a place is required, we must find the time, so many variables. I'm not an average sub, I'm sorry Cathy, if I don't follow your rules.

"Remember, the incident with the chain and the pipe came about because I declined to have sex with them. I thought you understood. My world is not all sex."

Cathy was silent, she'd thought all she did, all she wanted to do would attract Rob's interest, but clearly not. "I must reconsider my thoughts about you Rob, I thought you could be my soul mate, I may have been very wrong."

"Now you see me as I really am. I enjoy a bit of BDSM, I really do, at the right time. Perhaps for you or Marion, it's part of your life, but not for me. It can be exciting, I admit, once on a while. But a lot of that world is absolutely not my thing. In fact, what I have seen of S/M parties where a poor sub is whipped like I was, my blood begins to boil and I want that 'master' or 'mistress' to get a taste of their own. I bet they inflict it only on others, never really experiencing it for themselves. Have you?" Rob made it sound like an accusation.

"Yes, I have experienced nearly everything from the receiving end." Of course she had, the Domme who'd trained her required her to know what it was like.

"The subs who take such extreme treatment and come back for more, they must be a bit mad. Who wants to feel a whip a second time? Or branding?"He shuddered at the thought. "Both sub and domme should be locked up, one in the mental hospital and the other in jail. I am very serious now, I might be going against the grain of a lot of people, but in my eyes this isn't normal. The reason is always some variation on the sub wanting it for her master who she loves so much. It makes no sense."

Cathy was completely silent. Finally she spoke. "Thank you. It's good to know how you really think about the community."

"Not all, but a many of them." Rob's answer was defiant.

"You make it sound dirty, with a few sentences you destroy the love of a whole lot of people and describe them as mad. I think you must go Rob. I'll cancel your appointment, in fact, I want you to leave." By saying these things he had obviously deeply insulted Cathy.

Rob didn't say a word, just headed upstairs. He tossed his maid's uniform to the floor, dressing instead in male clothes.

In the living room, he extended his hand to Cathy for a formal handshake. She didn't take his hand, looking sadly into his eyes.

Helena had listened to the entire exchange. "Rob, you can't leave."

"She asked me to leave."

"I withdraw my words Rob, they were spoken in anger. I don't want you to leave." Cathy stood up, a little unsteady, stepped to Rob and put her arms around him. "Don't leave me Rob. Helena, don't let him leave me, please stay, please." She was crying her eyes out, she couldn't stop, she was totally upset. Rob was unsure of himself, he didn't understand the dramatic change in Cathy's attitude. With his arms trapped under hers, returning her embrace was awkward.

"Rob, comfort her, she needs you, what have you done now? I can't leave you alone, you make a habit of making us women very upset. You're not the first one Cathy, he did it with me as well as Marion." Helena sounded angry with him, he wasn't sure why.

She comforted Cathy by holding her from behind, stroking her hair.

Rob managed to work his arms up to embrace her as well. Helena and he held Cathy between them. Finally she calmed down and Rob led her to the couch where all three seated themselves.

"Cathy, I'll stay if you want me to; I'll leave if you want me to. But please don't mess with me, I love you, more importantly I respect you. I feel safe in your company, but I have my own opinions about certain BDSM extremes and I simply don't call it love. Helena, I gave Cathy my opinion and Cathy had the impression I disparaged the whole BDSM scene."

"We must talk about something else now." Helena was taking charge. "This poor woman is so upset. Make us a drink, what do you want Cathy? Something strong, brandy, whiskey, I saw a few different bottles, at least I thought I did."

"Brandy please." Cathy was recovering from her tears, still sobbing.

"One for me also, Rob."

"Then we all will have one." Rob poured three glasses of brandy and served the ladies. Cathy emptied her glass quickly, presenting her empty glass to Rob for refilling, before he'd even sat down.

"I feel better now, thank you. But Rob, right now I almost hate you. One moment you can be the kindest person I know, the next you denigrate something important to me. Why did you say all those awful things?"

"Cathy, just think where I got my impressions. I saw a glimpse into the so-called community when I was part of Iris' spectacle. I understand the pain can be about passion, lust, even love, but tell me there was passion or love in the crowd scene in Northampton. I needn't mention consent."

He held up his hands in surrender. "Look, now you know my opinion, but its just my opinion from my preferences. You are an adult, you decide for yourself, as I do. I don't think you're wrong, you're just into things I am not. I respect you are a caring, intelligent and responsible person.

"Now, do you want me to stay or go?"

"Yes, stay, of course." Cathy's answer was in a whisper.

"And you want to make love with Helena and I?"

"Of course, it's why she stayed, isn't it?"

After a few minutes of silence, Rob broke the ice by telling them about Cathy's poor neighbor, cornered by Nicky and Inca. The mood improved over the evening, they relaxed, talking and laughing together as lovers and friends will.

Chapter 30

Both Helena and Cathy said they wanted Rob to wear stockings as they made their way upstairs, just as they would. They inspected his bum and found his wounds were nicely healed, at least enough to handle them for the night.

Helena quickly stripped to just her stockings and suspender belt. She lay on the bed before him, spreading her legs to show much much she longed for him. She spread herself, giving Rob a clear view, then her hands both went to hold her breasts and toy with her nipples.

"Please, Rob, let's just start with you inside me."

Rob, who hardened as soon as he saw two women in nothing but stockings, put in his shaft very slowly and let it rest in her for a few moments as he and Helena exchange hot, wet kisses.

Cathy had put on her strap-on, she spread his arse and pushed a lubricated finger past his rosebud. She put in two fingers and stroked in and out, making him moan. Then, after removing her fingers, she pushed the strap-on against him, pushing carefully to penetrate. Cathy bent down close to him, whispering in his ear "I hope this hurts, you terrible man, never do something like that to me again."

Helena was desperately excited, Rob could tell she would have her first orgasm quickly. As she came, Rob shot his load in Helena. Cathy was still pegging Rob until he admitted defeat.

"Please no more Cathy, it's starting to hurt."

But Cathy was almost there, said nothing and didn't stop. Rob could tell by the noises she made she was close, he focused on pleasing her until she finished. When she did, he sighed with relief.

Helena didn't feel sorry for him. "It seems she settled a score." She chuckled at the befuddled look on his face. Then both women started to laugh even louder and finally Rob smiled also, it wasn't so bad. Tomorrow he might walk a bit bow legged, but Cathy was happy so it was worth it.

"Thank you Mistress Cathy for the great fuck." Cathy was pleased to hear him say it.

Helen had a question about the earlier conflict. "You were very upset Cathy, by what Rob said before. You were extremely disappointed in him. I think it was hard to take because you're in love with him, no?"

Cathy nodded, chagrined. "You're right. The three of us knew it might happen, when you became mentally and physically intimate it's difficult to avoid. It was the risk we all took, especially myself, with an unorthodox attempt to help Rob. I tried to keep a professional distance while still trying to have some fun, but we women never seem to separate sex and love all that well. Two nights ago, Helena, he gave me the best orgasm of my life - one of four or five that night, Helena! - and I no longer had any defenses.

"I wonder, Rob, if you didn't make me angry on purpose when you saw I was falling in love with you. Did you do it to push me further away? I suspect primarily to protect you, Helena, he loves you so much."

Helena sighed. "Maybe so, but Rob is blunt even on his best days. He can end up hurting us without even knowing it. Men!"

"And no one's ever given me pain out of hand." Rob was irritated to be discussed this way." Shall I get us a drink, since apparently I'm not here while you talk about me?"

"Good idea, Rob." Cathy nodded. "Just a glass of water will do, with a bit of ice."

"The same for me, Rob," Helena added.

As soon as Rob left the room, Helena had a question. "Now tell me Cathy, what happened?"

"I'm the psychiatrist and I can't seem to handle my own feelings! I'm sorry Helena, I've asked Rob several times to stay here and live with me. I rationalized, we could work out an arrangement of some sort. I know I was wrong, but I felt so desperate. I wonder if Rob didn't use my own methods against me, he must have understood how angry I'd be to hear him say it."

She sighed. "How can I live without him?" Then she scoffed. "How could I possibly live with him?"

Helena fully understood. "For some reason certain women see something very attractive in him. Think how many women simply ignore him, never knowing what they're missing. When I go out with Rob, I see no evidence any women notice him at all. But like you, Kim and Marion have fallen for him. I must live with this. So Marion lives with us as you know and Kim visits often. It's not ideal, certainly not for me, but I don't have the courage to say no to Marion; making Rob mine alone means taking him from her. She has very deep feelings for him, far deeper than a normal falling in love, losing him would be a harsh blow on her. Are we talking about the same issue for you? You aren't so young. Like me, clearly you have never met the right man. Now we've all, together, fallen for him, no matter what our mind says..."

Cathy's mouth twisted as she fought to not cry again. "I'm so sorry, I never wanted this to happen. I was shocked with how hard it hit me seeing him leaving."

"What if you join us?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, come live in our house. It's huge, you can continue your practice there, it may be a bit more distant for some of your patients, their bad luck. Like Marion, you can get your own room or more and if you like, pay me a symbolic rent and we'll see how it works out."

"And this house?"

"It's up to you. If you feel confident, sell it. Or you can drive back here to see patients. Rob still has his own place, I let him, he wants to believe he can escape me." She grinned. "He can't escape me and he hasn't realized he can't live without me anymore."

"I heard you," Rob entered the room with three glasses of water and ice.

He gave Helena and Cathy their water and sat himself on the chair at the make-up table.

"I proposed to Cathy she live with us, what do you think of the idea, Rob?"

"Oh no, not another woman to live with me!" He gave a false groan, then winked to Helena. Seeing Cathy's face, he went to her, took her in his arms and kissed her. "You would be welcome with open arms, of course. I couldn't stand having to choose, either you alone here or Helena alone there. I ask only you don't try to claim me, nobody can. Helena comes close, but at the moment not even Helena has claim on me."

Helena nodded. "True. He can be really stubborn, as you have seen for yourself. But you are fond of female love as well, Cathy, you have many choices."

Cathy gave him a sly smile. "I choose to make love again." Then she took his dick in her hand, guiding him to lie beside her on the bed.

"Wait a moment." Helena inspected his back and bum again. He was healing nicely. When she touched some of the wounds, Rob had no reaction.

"Will you try lying on your back, Rob?" She laid out a towel on the bed. "Try to lie on this, tell us how it feels."

Gingerly, Rob did as she asked. He nodded to her. "It doesn't hurt as much as yesterday, but it's still tender."

Helena shrugged. "Just vanilla sex, Cathy."

"Are you ready Rob?" Cathy asked, stroking his member, which was firming nicely. "Mmm. I don't have to ask. Take me from behind Rob, doggie-style." Helena lay down on the bed so Cathy could eat her pussy at the same time.

When Cathy had her orgasm, Helena hadn't yet, Cathy kept on licking, caressing Helena's breasts. Rob went on giving Cathy pleasure.

He wet a finger with her juices, then slipped it into her arse, making her jump. He pulled out of her cunt and pressed against her arse. He penetrated her pretty easily, stopping to let her feel his thickness, then out a bit before pushing further in. She didn't protest, instead she pushed back to him, encouraging him. He got as far into her as he could push, paused, then began to pump her. She moaned and wiggled her hips. Rob reached down between them, his fingers sometimes caressing her clit, other times pushing into her cunt. He was so deep in her arse she felt his balls bounding against her thighs. After her climax, Helena stopped to enjoy the sight of Rob arse-fucking Cathy.

When Rob came, Cathy was almost at her third climax but Rob had no more strength to carry on. He turned Cathy over to lick her. Seeing this Helena started to nibble Cathy's breasts. With a loud cry Cathy came once again.

All three of them were lying on the bed now, exhausted. Cathy said, "tomorrow, your arse will be mine again Rob. You can't just arse-fuck your Mistress without asking!" Despite her stern words, she smiled and kissed him.

Rob smiled. "Sauce for the gander."

Helena was happy. "Thank you for thinking of me tonight." It was a relief to hear Rob acknowledge he had put his trust in her again. She wasn't sure he really had ever lost trust in her.

"I'm going to take a shower and then off to sleep," Rob said, Helena and Cathy joined him and soon they were asleep, Rob as usual between the two women.

Chapter 31

The three breakfasted together early so Cathy would have the time to prepare for a patient. She reminded Rob to be ready and waiting in the attic, in his French-Maid costume, at 10:30 sharp.

Rob and Helena took the opportunity to take a long walk with the dogs. The weather was pleasant, for autumn. The clouds were high and scattered, the sun was shining, though the breeze was chilly. He had almost two hours before the session with Cathy. They decided to walk to the wood on the far side of town. They walked hand in hand, enjoying each other's company and feeling close again for the first time in some weeks. The dogs ran free ahead of them.

"I never knew how much fun dogs can be." Helena took his arm as they walked.

"So it was a good decision to get them?"

"Of course, they're fun, they're true friends and good security as well. You have no choice but to get some exercise a few times a day. Nicky and Inca are so sweet, I never had thought that about Dobermans."

"Helena, are you sure Marion and Kim won't mind about Cathy? Should you talk to everyone before adding another person to the household?"

"You can ask Marion yourself, today is Thursday you know. Kim and she will have lunch with us and this afternoon we're going to visit someone. Who we're to visit is a surprise, but Nicky and Inca will come with us."

"Just you ladies?" Rob asked.

"We'll all go together, you included. We'd like you to go en femme, if you would."

"We can rule that notion out right now. I'm not going out crossdressed." Rob began planning. "So it sounds like we'll go in two cars then?"
