SEVENTEEN
“MayItakeyour coats?”
Finally, the part of the evening I’d been waiting for since I’d picked out the outfit to wear to the club. I smiled at the bouncer who admitted us inside the building. “Sure thing.”
I untied the knot and Sully helped me out of the coat. It tumbled off my arms and into his hands.
“Sweet Jesus,” he gasped out loud.
The bouncer swept his gaze over me, then quickly averted his eyes. He visibly swallowed as he took the coat from Sully.
“If there’s anything at all we can do for you to enjoy your time here, just let us know.”
“Thank you.”
Sully planted his hand firmly in the middle of my bare back as we walked farther into the room. His hand crept around to my tummy, halting me as he brought me up against him.
“Give me one reason I shouldn’t throw you over my shoulder and get you out of here,” he whispered in my ear.
I tilted my head back and smiled teasingly at him. “You don’t have to worry about anyone touching. This is a respectable club. All they’ll do is look. I think you like everyone else envying you what’s yours. Am I wrong?”
He fingered the edge of the lace underwear I had on with the garters that attached my stockings. The underwear had an opening at the back to accommodate the butt plug kitty tail that I’d inserted before I left the house. The soft fur brushed against my ass and sent a shiver down my spine with every step I made.
“Hmm.” He trailed his lips down my neck. “Are you going to be a good little pussycat or a naughty one tonight?”
He caught my tail and tugged gently on it. A moan escaped me as I clenched around the butt plug.
“You’ll just have to play with me to find out.”
Of all the secret clubs in the city, this was my favorite. Anyone respectable could play or hang out at the club, but because the owners were pup and Master, it’d quickly become a haven for those into pet play.
I longed to get down on my knees and play, but Sully was new to this, and I wanted to make sure he was comfortable before I got ahead of myself. I wanted him to love the place as much as I did. For this to be our spot away from home.
“This is a safe place for kinksters to practice pet play,” I explained as we entered the main room where members of the club and guests sat chatting. “As you can see, it’s not just kittens and pups, but everyone’s free to be whatever animal they want to explore and how they wish to express themselves. No judgment.”
Kitties and puppies sat on their Masters’ lap. Others were contented to lie at their Masters’ feet, and one kitty sat in a human-sized carrier, built for their height. A pony was tied to a post, and there were even some rabbits here tonight. I spotted a few couples, but most of the guests seemed unattached and looking for just a play partner for the night based on the color-coded bands they wore.
I hadn’t been to the club in a long time, and the faces around didn’t look familiar. Heads turned in our direction as we picked our way along the room. I wasn’t the only one who gained attention. A puppy sitting by himself on a cushion sat up to watch Sully, but from the grip Sully had on my hip, I had nothing to worry about. His sole purpose seemed to be to keep me at his side.
“Hey, you guys new?” A tall, middle-aged Leatherman approached us before I could ask Sully if he wanted to socialize in this room or move on to a playroom.
“First time for me,” Sully replied. “Not for my kitten.”
The man barely gave me a second glance but turned his attention to Sully. “I’m Ralph. Were you in the army?”
“Sullivan.” They shook hands. “Yeah, but not for very long.”
“Son of a bitch, I’m never wrong.” The man jerked his thumb over his shoulder to a group of men who lounged at the juice bar. Alcohol wasn’t allowed. They all wore leather outfits. “Why don’t you let your kitty play with the others and join us? I’ll introduce you to everyone.”
“Maybe after,” Sully said to my relief. “I promised my kitty some playtime.”
“All right. We’ll be here for most of the night. See you later.”
The man gave Sully another once-over, then headed back to his pals. I tugged on Sully’s hand, leading him to the kitty playroom.
“Someone’s got a crush on you,” I teased Sully.
“What?” He looked so oblivious that I laughed.
