“Blue?” she heard the hitch in her voice.
Blue ran over to her and pulled her in his arms. She’d forgotten she wasn’t bound to the cross, but she held on to it for dear life, her fingers ached. “He asked if I would attend to your aftercare since I’m familiar with you. I agreed. Why didn’t you safeword, sweetheart?”
“I—I don’t know. I was going to but—but I didn’t.”
“It’s okay, I’m here now.” He ran his strong hands over hers and loosened her grip.
Blue led her to the washroom, filled the sink, and grabbed a washcloth. He wiped down her welts, none were bleeding, but close. She sucked in a breath. “Sorry, just want to get these cleaned up. You know the drill.”
She nodded.
After he was done washing her, he applied a soothing salve, and she sighed at the relief.
“All done. I suggest taking a few days off from the scene. Get rested up physically and mentally. That guy did a job on you. I was listening and didn’t hear anything out of the ordinary, and you didn’t say a word. I would’ve been in here had you used your word.”
“No, I needed my punishment. I fucked up with Jared. He’d approve.”
Blue looked to the floor where the flogger lay. “Rubber.” He shook his head. “You don’t like rubber.”
“I know.” Her breath hitched.
“What the hell, Izzie? You should’ve told him that was a hard limit for you. You need to update your list in case you play with someone new again.”
“I—I don’t know, it’s not a hard limit, I just don’t like it, but I can handle it.” Blue pulled her to the couch and on his lap. Pulling her in close, he let her calm and relax.
“Izzie?” Jared called her to attention.
“Yes?” She refused to look at him, she didn’t want him to see her weakness. She’d never shown anyone at After Dark, but those at Slip Knot knew, but not here. Here, she maintained her strength. She needed variety in her play and found it in the two different venues.
“Are you all right?”
She nodded.
“I told him to go hard on you, but if he overstepped, I need to know.”
“He didn’t. It was just the right amount.”
“You’re certain?”
She nodded. “I am. Promise.”
Jared glanced at the angry red welts on her body and shook his head. “Very well.”
“What the fuck, Izzie?” Blue was pissed.
“Look, now that my brain is less foggy, I can tell you. I was just about to safeword, he’d just crossed my threshold for pain, but it was like he knew, and he stopped. It’s fine, I’m fine.”
“You’re 100%?”
“I am.”
“If you say so, but I want to kick his ass.” Blue stuck his chest out and clenched his fists.
Izzie laughed. “It’s fine, stop acting like a caveman. Besides, I had the choice to take the punishment or to leave.”
Blue sighed. “Fine.”
“Are my friends still here?”
