Author's Note:
This is Part Three of the Taming Kit series. If you haven't read Lessons for Gia (Part One) and Ruining Allison (Part Two), I highly recommend starting there.
This story contains explicit BDSM themes. Trigger warnings include: emotional manipulation, jealousy, dominance/submission, and scenes of sexual power play. Reader discretion is advised.
I meant to leave.
Aftercare was done. Gia was curled up on the bed, warm, satiated and smiling like I'd gifted her the moon. I should have slipped out then. Should've spared myself the misery.
But the unmistakable sound of a crowd thick with lust drew me like a moth to a flame. There was a certain rhythm in their breath, in the hush between moans. Something in me knew.
I slip through the doorway at the end of the hall and stop just behind the curtain that parts to the main floor. I don't have to see them. I already know.
Allison's voice floats up first. That high-pitched, breathy, fake-little-girl moan she's so good at. She's putting on a show. Of course she is.
I push the curtains aside and see them on stage.
Jake is behind her, slamming into her like he's trying to break her in half. His pace is brutal. Allison is bent over a bench. Her legs spread and tits swaying with each thrust. She opens her mouth in that performative way that drives the men wild. A man in the front row strokes himself as he watches the show. She's soaking up the attention like it feeds her.
It probably does.
Jake has changed. It's not just his body that is different. He's harder, colder. He pounds Allison relentlessly but without affection.
This isn't the Jake I knew. Well, I always knew he was capable of this, but I never thought I'd actually see it. He used to top with such emotion, but now?
He doesn't even look at her. Not really. His body is there, sure. His cock is buried in her cunt as she screams. He still has that dark, sharp kind of focus, but now it's like he's not even in the room.
Until he sees me.
His head turns just slightly, and for just a second his eyes meet mine across the crowd. His rhythm falters just briefly, but enough that I know he's not unaffected by me. I've rattled him. The clench of his jaw. The sharp inhale. The way his focus flickers.
And that's when Allison looks up.
Her eyes land on me like a predator spotting its prey. Just like they did 10 years ago.
I still remember the moment like it's burned into my mind.
