Damon's Challenge (Creek Valley) (5 page)

“I’m not suggesting divorce. I never even thought about it, so don’t put words in my mouth.”

“Good. I’m in love with my wife
, and I could never leave her.” They could get past this. Sucking Damon’s cock had given him a rush and being controlled by him completed some short fuse in his brain, but he didn’t need it. No, he could live without it.

“You’re what is known as a Switch, Andy.”

“BDSM?” he asked. Living in Creek Valley meant he was aware of the lifestyle. He knew many couples within the town were in Dom/sub relationships.

“You know what it means?”

“Of course I know what it means. Fuck, Damon, I understand a lot of shit, but I need to know how to get my wife out of our kid’s bedroom.” Fuck, he’d been the one to decorate the bedroom for their daughter for when they finally had kids.

When you’d give her the chance to have a kid.

He’d been too damn selfish to get her pregnant. Andy had wanted all of her attention focused on him. “So I’m a Switch. I can be a Dominant and a submissive.”

“Yes, it’s why you and
Meredith have lasted so long. Your needs are answered but only half of them. Meredith craves total submission. She needs a full time Dominant whereas you need a Dominant to give you what you need.”

What Damon was saying made total sense. 

“What are you then?” Andy asked.

“I’m a pure Dom. I do not submit to anyone, not even you.”

Andy stood, putting hands on his hips. “How long have you known about this?”

“From the first moment I met the two of you. I’ve seen the way you two have been with each other. It’s killing a part of you
, and it’s tearing up your marriage.”

He smirked. “I think my marriage is fucked.”

“It’s not. I’m bisexual. For a long time I’ve been looking for the people I can complete my life with.” Damon didn’t drop his gaze.

“What are you trying to say to me?” Andy asked.

“I can help you and Meredith. Your marriage can last through what just happened.” The conviction in Damon’s voice made him stop. Andy knew more than anything he wanted Meredith in his life. He’d taken what she gave him for granted.

“What will you want in return?”

“Your and Meredith’s submission. I want what I’ve seen happen in this town.”

“I can’t guarantee Meredith’s submission
, but if you give me back my wife, I’ll give you everything you want.” He left the sitting room and headed upstairs to take a shower. Staring at the empty bed filled Andy with sadness. There was no way he was sleeping alone. Going to the bedroom where Meredith was, he tested the door to find it locked. This door had a key that could be opened from the outside and the inside.

Going to the set of keys
in the hall he pulled the key he needed and headed back upstairs. Meredith mustn’t have left the key in place. He opened the door with ease and entered the room. His eyes adjusted to the darkness. Andy closed the door behind him, carefully. If Damon knew what he was doing, the other man would probably rip him a new one. He didn’t care. His only priority was to get to his woman.

She was curled up in a ball. The moonlight drifted in the room showing the tearstains on her face. Climbing into bed, he wrapped his arms around her. Meredith came awake and tried to fight him.

Wrapping his arms around her, Andy refused to let go.

“I’m not going anywhere. I’ve got you.”

Minutes passed before she finally settled down again. All through the night he held onto her tightly, refusing to let go.

Meredith woke to the sun shining in her eyes. She rubbed the sleep from them and felt the hot brand of a male arm across her stomach, holding her in place. Turning her head she saw Andy was behind her. Evidence of his arousal was flush against her ass. Memories of the previous day rushed over her, and she struggled.

He held her still even as she fought him.

“You’re not getting away from him,” Damon said. The other man’s voice made her pause. She looked toward the sound and found him sitting on the wicker chair in the corner. Damon was dressed in a pair of jeans and a thick sweater. He was also wearing socks, which was new for him.

Looking behind her, she saw Andy was in fact awake. She remembered him breaking into the bedroom and holding her down until she stopped fighting him. Until he came to bed she’d been fighting the cold. She loved sleeping with Andy
, and being alone in bed was not a lot of fun at all.

Meredith despised her own weakness at not being able to fight him.
Collapsing to the bed she stared up at the ceiling.

“Why are you doing this to me?” she asked.

“From your reaction yesterday I figured you’d fight me every step of the way in order to talk to you. This way, you’re in one place and you can’t go running off,” Damon said. “Have you got her tightly secured?”

“I have. My woman is not going anywhere until you say otherwise.”

She didn’t talk. Her gaze remained on the ceiling even as Andy’s fingers stroked her where they lay on her hip. She’d forgotten how strong he actually was. They’d not been this close in some time.

The bed dipped
, and she found Damon staring down at her. He’d moved from the chair in the corner. “I’m not going to take your husband away. Andy is not going anywhere.”

His words hit her hard. How could she believe him? Yesterday she’d caught her husband going down on him. How was she to believe that kicking her out next wasn’t on the list of things to do?

“I’m not going anywhere, babe. I could never leave you. I would never want to leave you at all.”

She felt her lip quiver as emotion swamped her. This was not what she’d been expecting.

“I’ve got to get up and do some breakfast. The ranch hands need to eat.” She struggled in Andy’s arms. He held her tight refusing to let go.

“You don’t need to go anywhere. The ranch hands didn’t make it in. The snow fell thick and fast last night. We’re all alone on the ranch,” Damon said. “We can do this all day and night.”

Letting out a breath, she stared at Damon.

“You’re a submissive.”

“What?”

“While we’ve been waiting for you to wake up, Andy’s been telling me all about you. He was your first man.”

Her cheeks heated at his words. “There’s no shame in being your Dom’s first.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“From the moment we first met I knew you were a submissive at heart. You bowed your head and took orders. There’s a part of you that needs, craves to be controlled.” Damon took her hand.

She hated how nice his hand felt over hers.

What’s wrong with me?

Meredith wanted to scream at the unfairness of it all.
The man who was taking her husband away but not taking her husband away gave her comfort when she really didn’t want it. She was so confused.

“Don’t fight it. I’m not going to let you go or to hide from what I can give you,” Damon said.

“Listen to him, honey. He’s not going to do anything you don’t want. I won’t let anyone hurt you.” Andy kissed the side of her face.

Fight this.

She didn’t want to fight all the time.

“I’m just going to come out and say it, Meredith. I can see you’re struggling with the fight.” Damon cupped the side of her face. Tears sprang to her eyes at the unfairness of it all. “I’m a Dom, baby. Andy is a Switch. He can be either a Dom or a submissive
, but you, honey, you’re a submissive deep down inside. Do you know what I’m saying?”

Meredith bit her lip. She knew what they were saying.
Over the years she’d seen other couples in a similar lifestyle, and she wasn’t blind to the media either. BDSM was all the rage at the moment.

“I know what it means.” She forced the words out even though she wanted to keep them to herself.
Her love life with Andy had been wonderful even when something had been missing. Neither of them could satisfy the other’s craving.

“Let her go,” Damon said.

Andy’s arms went lax, and she struggled to sit up. The blanket fell to her waist. She didn’t try to cover herself as she looked at Damon. He hadn’t moved away either. Andy sat up in bed. He was wearing clothes as well.

“Did you wake up before me?”

“Breakfast is waiting for you downstairs.” Damon took one of her hands in his. “We didn’t want to give you a moment to escape. We’re going to handle this, and then we’re going to see where this goes.”

“
I need to go to the bathroom.” She wanted to get away from them. The more they touched her, the harder it was for her to resist them.

Damon tugged the blanket off her. He didn’t release her hand at all.
She tried to pull away, but he kept holding onto her. He helped her to the door. “We’ll give you privacy.”

She closed the door and faced her reflection in the mirror. Her pulse was hammering in her chest and throat. Easing a hand between her thighs she felt the heat pooling there. She was slick to the touch. Two men she should hate were wrecking her mind and body.

Give them a chance to explain.

Shaking h
er head, she went to the toilet. When she was finished she washed her hands, brushed her teeth, and combed her hair. The bathroom was small and didn’t have all the facilities for an adult. She’d kitted the room out yesterday for all of her things.

“We’re waiting for you, Meredith.” Damon’s voice came through the door.

Another wave of arousal hit her. The negligee she was wearing showed off her hard nipples. The negligee was a gift from Andy last Christmas. She loved the feel of the silk against her body. No, she shouldn’t be doing this.

Opening the door, she stopped as Damon
leaned against the doorframe. His arms were folded displaying the thick coils of muscle she loved to look at.

“What’s going on?” she asked.

“We’ve decided you can’t get dressed today. We think you’ll be more willing to listen and less likely to run off with your negligee than fully clothed. The ranch is pretty big, and we’re not into playing hide and seek today,” Damon said.

She turned to look at Andy. “Are you being serious?
Why are you letting him take control over everything?”

“He knows what he’s talking about, baby. We need him more than anything.” Andy got up off the bed and walked toward her. Meredith didn’t turn away from him. She kept her gaze on him not wanting
to move away. He cupped her cheeks, and she covered his hands with her own. “I love you, Meredith, with all my heart and soul.” He dropped a kiss to her lips. “I’ll do whatever it takes to make you understand what you saw yesterday.”

Damon watched Meredith eat feeling his cock harden at the sight. Her lips were lovely and plump, and he could imagine those lips wrapped around his shaft, giving him everything he desired. Pushing the thoughts away, he finished eating his food, waiting for the perfect moment to start her training. He’d talked with Andy this morning, and the other man agreed to take the lead immediately and to be the Dom for them. Andy didn’t really have a choice. There was not much choice for Andy as he was already craving the need to submit. Damon had never met two people in such need of guidance before. It was like Creek Valley was destined to be his resting place.

Once again he pushed his thoughts to the back of his mind. They were selfish
, and the only way he’d be sticking around to be with Andy and Meredith, would be if they both agreed for him to be with them. If either one of them wanted him gone, he’d leave. He wasn’t prepared to be somewhere he wasn’t welcome.

Turning his gaze to
Meredith he admired the length of her body. The white negligee Andy had bought her last Christmas showed her body off to perfection. The curves he saw made him want to get his hands on her. Was her skin as soft to the touch as it looked? He didn’t know, but he wanted to find out.

Her dark red nipples were clearly highlighted through the thin material. When he’d first seen the negligee Andy picked out,
Damon had found it rather bland. He knew plenty of places that would have designs far more perfect. Looking at her now, he saw the beauty in the plainness. Meredith was beautiful and didn’t need anything more to make her shine.

She finished her breakfast, pushing the plate away and covered her mouth with a napkin. Her silence gave him hope. He also noticed her hand no longer shook as she reached for her coffee.

“Do you have questions?” Damon asked, turning to face her fully. His cock was aching to get out of the jeans. He wanted her naked, and Andy had given him permission to do what he wanted with Meredith, so long as Andy could watch and participate. In the early stages of their newfound relationship, he needed to find the correct guidelines among them all. Meredith was still new to this, as was Andy. Damon intended to take it slow until they were all comfortable together. Only when they were all ready would he take over and be their Dom.

“Why was Andy, doing, erm, what he did to you yesterday?” she asked. Her cheeks were aflame.
