(This story interlocks with each chapter so if you come into this story other than the beginning, then you may well scratch your head at some of the comments within this chapter. I've tried to make this a glimpse into the lives and lifestyle of three people. They chose to keep there lives private, isn't it strange how life never lets that happen.)
Many thanks go to Linda62953 for her editing.
The silence from Red hurt us all. I was willing to wait her out, the girls just sat and stared at Red curled into a fetal position, the bottom half of her body exposed to us. The small trickle of cum eased itself out of her ass a reminder of what had just occurred.
Red gently eased herself into a kneeling position facing towards both the girls; her stare fell short and focused on the carpet about a foot from them.
"When I signed up for the second film, I begged my master to allow me to take a female lover. It is a gift he has allowed me three times in all of the years I have held the status he granted me. The rules were always the same, less than six months and he was never to know her name. Caroline Atkins was my lover. In the time I've been in the clinic, Mathew Bowden has visited me four times and seen my tits on two of those occasions. We have also had phone sex four times."
I'm not even sure what made me look towards Frankie, the look of shock on Samantha's face was enough, yet when I looked at Frankie, she was looking directly at me, almost waiting for our eyes to meet before she nodded her head once and then turned her attention back to Red.
"Get dressed and go home with the girls. I will join you all shortly."
The pause was momentary before Red slowly moved to stand, holding her tracksuit bottoms in her hand as she did. Both the girls waited for Red and all three left. Less than a minute later, Joseph came back into his office.
"You fucking bastard, this is my office, not your play room and not only that, I should be reporting you to the Police for assault on Red. If I thought she would stand up in a court of law I would."
He was right of course, he knew our lifestyle and allowed a certain tolerance when it came to the condition of the girls when they came for physicals, but punishing Red across his desk was not acceptable.
"Joseph, I was going to wait until we got back to the cabin, but the moment Red came into this room, she knew and I had no choice."
Joseph was not going to allow even that, as an apology.
"You had every choice you fucking ass. My desk, my own fucking desk. You're just damn lucky you and I go back some years Jack. What you did was unacceptable to me. We both know it was the drugs she was on. That woman is as loyal to you as I have ever seen any woman to a man, even given both your lifestyles. She would never have allowed Mathew to have her and yet you had to do that across my fucking desk."
We both knew that my actions had cost me a friend that night. To him I had crossed the line, only time would tell if the damage was beyond repair, he would always be the girl's doctor but my friend? Not for some time to come.
The journey home was more subdued, all three girls went in Frankie's car and I drove mine with Caroline, although judging by the way she sat as close to the door as she could, I had a feeling she would rather be with the girls. Frankie knew that wasn't going to happen, they all needed to talk and she knew I was going to talk to Caroline.
"I'm... I'm sorry it got this far."
"Don't be, you both had a need, Red and I have an arrangement and she ask if she could take a lover."
"She never told you though, I didn't realize she was a slave until she stood and called you master."
"She and her friend were my property from college onwards. I am also a realist. Red wanted a career and who was I to stand in her way. Our arrangement tides her over until she comes home and it has worked for us."
The pause was longer, either I had said something or she picked up on something. It was then I realized that Caroline Atkins was one smart cookie.
"So the spanking wasn't because of us... Being intimate I mean?"
I smiled and shook my head as I stole a quick glance at her, she seemed relieved and the distance between us declined to a more comfortable level.
"Will you tell me if I asked?"
Although my smile was still there, it was slightly forced.
"No and it's a topic that is no longer your concern. I gave Red permission to take a lover, which turned out to be you. It also brings into perspective the extent of betrayal she felt when you and the studio hung her out to dry and the studio milked the publicity for everything they could. She will never touch you in an intimate way ever again, so don't think tonight gives you another chance at her."
Her shoulders slumped slightly and although I knew my statement said it all, I did wonder what part drilled it home to her.
"I've been around enough to know what you are and even some of the rules. Do I need permission from you to stay Red's friend?"
As the cabin loomed up ahead of us, I was at a loss to answer Caroline. As the engine died, we sat and watched the girls go inside, each of them stealing glances at us sitting there watching them.
"I don't know you, your extent of betrayal was huge and it was only the love she got from us all that grounded her enough to keep sanity close to her. After tonight, I don't ever want you to contact her again, never go near her or make any third party contact with her at all. I will not place the same conditions on Red, so if she chooses to forgive you and your friendship once again grows, then you will know that Red has forgiven you."
We both got out of the car and walked inside, each of the girls came out of my room in shorts and t-shirts and I smiled at Frankie, she smiled and winked at me. Caroline spoke to me once more before she joined the girls in conversation.
"I'm sorry, I know I keep repeating myself, but I truly am. Hindsight is such a wonderful thing and I know I could have been on Red's side more in this, since it was she, who saved my life and I betrayed that gift. I accept what you said in the car, thank you."
Red watched Caroline detach herself from me and met her halfway across the room, giving her a hug as she did. Frankie and Samantha joined them and that enabled Red to walk over to me, she followed silently into the playroom and knelt in the middle of the room.
"Dealing with you when you realized I knew may have cost me my friendship with Joseph. He didn't understand I needed to deal with you the second you challenged that knowledge, but you did."
