A huge thank you to ChiDom for editing. I appreciate all your help!
Teagan warned me before Jake even got to the door if I misbehaved today, he would punish me in front of him. He even threatened to allow Jake to participate.
"I want you to understand that you may not disrespect me, especially in front of our friends and guests. Jake seems to be picking up on the type of relationship we have. He was especially curious after your lapse in judgment from the other day."
I could feel the burn of my cheeks as I was reminded how close I had come to being spanked in front of someone else. I was reprimanded by Teag verbally in front of Jake and his date. He stopped short of telling me he would spank me in front of them. I stood facing Teag, fingers twisting around in my hands nervously.
"What do you think he knows, Teag?"
"Jake asked me to explain the circumstances of what happened after we left so abruptly."
"What did you tell him?"
"Jae, I want you to understand that I trust him. I told him we have an unconventional, consensual relationship and are very happy. We deal with disagreements and behavior differently than most. I left it at that."
"Teag! This is so embarrassing! He is your friend! How can I be in the same space as him?" I shouted.
"Well, my pet, you don't seem to mind behaving like a brat in front of him, so you shouldn't mind being disciplined like one in front of him."
With that, a kiss on the cheek and a pat on my behind, I was sent on my way to finish the barbeque preparations. The idea of being punished in front of someone was...exciting. Teag was giving me plenty of space to say this was not something I wanted. All I had to do was say the word; he would never put me in a position that I truly did not want to be in.
Two hours later, Jake arrived and we all went out the sliding glass doors to sit at the table on the back deck. My backyard was a little oasis from reality. Tall arborvitae lined the property on either side, providing some privacy from our nearest neighbors. Our property butted up to protected land, full of trees, deer and various other wildlife.
Sitting in our gray slingback deck chairs, I watched the men chat. Jake and my husband were so similar sometimes people mistook them for brothers. Jake was a little older but they both had dark hair, neatly trimmed goatees and stood about 6 feet. They towered over my petite 5 foot 3 frame. Jake wore glasses and Teag wore contacts. Jake wasn't tan like Teag and that was probably the biggest difference between the two. They both had quick wit and laughed easily.
It was hot out even though it was late afternoon. The men wore casual button-down shirts; Teag in jeans and Jake in khaki pants. My white shorts, tight to my runner's thighs, and red floral halter top still felt like too much clothing and the heat started getting to me. My dark, almost black hair, high in a ponytail, still hung past the middle of my back, was getting on my nerves too. That should have been my first warning sign.
Teague and Jake both grabbed a beer out of the cooler, drank straight from the bottle and began chatting about what they wanted to do for the rest of summer. Jake was telling Teag about his date from the other day and how much he enjoyed spending time with her out on their boat. I asked Teag to watch the door so I wouldn't have to try to open it with my arms full of food. I went inside to grab the salads, burgers and hot dogs. He and Jake got into a conversation and lost track of what was happening.
I called Teag and waited for a response. I kicked the door and he didn't hear me so I kicked the door again harder. It snapped open, banging against the deck railing. Teag looked over and jumped out of his seat to open the door.
"I'm sorry babe!"
"Thanks for paying attention, I really appreciate it." I stated sarcastically, trying to rearrange the food in my arms. Teag took the hotdogs and hamburgers from me. My comment earned me a look that usually made my heart flutter and my temper hit full stop. Not this time.
Quietly, Teag said "Jae, I would watch the attitude if I were you. Remember our conversation from earlier, sweetheart. I apologized for not being by the door."
I looked at Teag and apologized. I cast my eyes downward but was still simmering. I approached the table to lay out the food supplies and put the burgers and dogs on the grill and salad on the table.
Jake turned to Teag with a strange look on his face. He leaned in and whispered quietly to Teag. "Is everything OK?"
"Of course, Jake. My wife just needed a little reminder of a chat we had earlier, right Jae?"
Again, for the second time today, my face flamed with embarrassment. I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself. I realized then that I was turned on. Was the idea of Jake being around really that appealing? I turned to them, smiled and dutifully asked if either of them needed another beer. Teagan looked at me and his eyes widened, he smiled and nodded, as did Jake.
I grabbed the beers from the cooler, including one for myself and handed the men theirs. Dropping the empty bottles in the bin, I sat back down in my chair, watching the barbeque do its job. I began day-dreaming about what it would be like to be disciplined by someone else with Teagan watching. With his approval. Under his direction. The visions in my head caused my heart to race. My nipples grew hard and my breath quickened. I could almost feel hands rubbing the skin of my backside, preparing to strike.
Lost in fantasy, I didn't realize the burgers were burning to a crisp. I smelled the dinner going to hell and jumped up, knocking over my beer bottle. It broke as it hit the deck and I ran to the grill.
"Sonofabitch!" I yelled, grabbing the spatula to move the ruined meat and throwing the switch off the burner.
I threw the spatula onto the barbeque, slammed it shut and whirled around. I was so angry, I grabbed the broken beer bottle with my bare hand and flung it into the recycle bin, cutting myself in the process.
"Motherfucker!" I yelled, grabbing my hand. Teag and Jake jumped up to help, grabbing napkins to stop the blood flow.
Jake held my wrist and the napkin on my bleeding hand while Teag ran into the house. He came back out with a bottle of water, a wet towel, and a first aid kit. They made me sit as they unwrapped my napkin-covered hand. The cut was relatively small but there was a piece of glass in it. Teag plucked it out and applied pressure.
"Are you ok?" Jake said as he stood up and walked to the barbeque. "Don't worry about the burgers, we can just have hotdogs and salads."
I nodded in response as I looked over at Teag and knew I was not going to be alright. I knew that I was in trouble the second I met his eyes.
Teag smiled when my eyes met his. He finished applying the bandage and leaned into me, whispering. "This is it Jae. Say the words and we will deal with this later, after he leaves. You say nothing, just nod your head and Jake will become part of our little world."
I froze. My heart began to race as Teag stood up and put the first aid kit back to rights. I was shaking slightly and Jake noticed. He handed me another beer.
"Take a sip, Jae, and calm down, it's just a little cut."
I took a deep breath, a sip of my beer and looked up at Teagan. He was so tall, towering over me. His physical dominance made my heart pitter-patter on a good day. Now all I could think about was another man, his friend, disciplining me. With his permission and participation!
I stood up, turned and went inside, shocking Teag. He was not expecting me to leave. I needed a minute to compose myself. This was supposed to be a punishment not a sexual experience. I was embarrassed to be so turned on by just the idea of this. I couldn't let Teag pull my shorts down. He would see how wet I had become. If he pulled my panties down too, it was all over for me.
Teag walked into the house and approached me, wrapping his arms around me.
"If this is something you do not want, please be honest and say so. It's ok. Your comfort level is my only concern. I didn't think you would be this upset. I'm sorry."
"It's not that Teag," I said as I turned into him "I am not upset by being punished in front of, or by, Jake."
I looked up into his eyes, unsure. Honesty is a fault of mine. I won't lie.
"I am turned on by all this, Teag. I am so hot about this right now there is no way I can hide it."
Teag chuckled and took my face in his hands. "Little girl, I know you better than you know yourself sometimes."
"You tell me all the time you don't like people knowing about this thing we do, yet whenever I spank you in the car or in a parking lot and people are close by, you get so hot and wet you can barely wait until we get home before you're ripping my jeans off."
