His To CONTROL

CHAPTER 8 - SYDNEY

CONTENT WARNING: This chapter contains an explicit consensual group b**m scene involving two Dominants, bondage, n****e suction, anal play, double penetration, s*x toys, lubricant, orgasm and detailed aftercare.

The observation booth is smaller than I expect.

Jamerson closes the door behind us, and the muted sounds of Cross disappear beneath the steady thrum of the audio system. A wide pane of one-way glass overlooks Suite Four. On our side, there are two velvet chairs, a padded railing and an exit positioned close enough that I can reach it without passing him.

I notice that last detail immediately.

He notices me noticing.

"You can leave whenever you choose," he says.

"You've mentioned that."

"I intend to keep mentioning it until you stop looking for the catch."

"There is always a catch."

"Sometimes there is simply a door."

I stand at the railing instead of sitting. Jamerson takes a position behind and slightly to my left, close enough that I feel the heat from his body without being crowded against the glass.

He does not touch me.

The absence becomes impossible to ignore.

Below, Meg speaks with the two men. She is nervous; I recognise it in the way she talks faster and uses her hands. One of them asks her to repeat her safewords. The other shows her the monitor's call button. Nothing begins until she nods and steps forward herself.

I came to protect her.

That remains true even when anticipation tightens low in my stomach.

Below them, the scene unfolded with breathtaking discipline.

The two Doms moved with synchronised, calm authority. They began by undressing Meg slowly, offering quiet praise as they folded her crimson dress and placed it on a valet stand. They guided her to her knees atop a thick velvet cushion, securing her wrists to padded leather cuffs suspended from an overhead rig.

One Dom stood before her, warming botanical massage oil between his broad palms before smoothing it over the swell of her breasts, massaging the tissue with firm strokes before applying gentle, adjustable silicone suction cups to her n*****s. The other Dom knelt behind her, smoothing a generous amount of warm, medical-grade silicone lubricant over her thighs and between her folds, taking time to prepare her body with patient, gentle fingers.

Sydney's breath hitched in the observation booth. Jamerson watched her closely. Her fingers tightened against the velvet railing as the audio feed transmitted Meg's soft, breathless whimpers into the booth.

Below, the Doms maintained continuous communication, checking Meg's responses with quiet, steady encouragement. With slow, rhythmic care, the Dom behind her entered her with smooth, measured strokes, while the Dom in front of her supported her hips, adding generous lubrication before aligning himself. With calm verbal reassurance and deep, patient guidance, both men entered her vaginally together, filling her completely with a heavy, synchronised fullness.

Meg's head fell back, her body trembling with intense, overwhelmed pleasure. "Yes... oh god, please... keep going..."

The Doms maintained absolute control, their pacing measured and supportive, matching her breathing, praising her capacity to receive them, while one leaned down to hold her face and capture her mouth in a grounding kiss. When Meg shattered into a violent, shuddering climax that shook her entire frame, both men supported her weight completely, holding her steady until the spasms subsided into soft, weeping release.

Immediately following the scene, the restraints were unfastened. The Doms wrapped Meg in a heavy heated fleece blanket, offered her warm electrolyte water, and sat with her on the floor, murmuring quiet praise while stroking her hair.

In the booth, I’m trembling. My breathing is ragged, my chest rising and falling rapidly beneath my charcoal dress.

Jamerson leans down, his lips brushing the shell of my ear. “The aftercare team will sit with Meg for forty-five minutes. She is safe, warm and completely cared for.” He pauses, his attention settling on the rapid pulse jumping at the base of my throat. “Which leaves you and me, Sydney.”

I turn within the booth, pressing my back against the railing. His blue eyes hold mine through the dim amber light.

“Jamerson…”

“Let me show you the rest of Cross,” he murmurs, extending his hand. “Let me show you what happens when control is given to someone who understands the weight of it.”

The scene ends, but its effect on me does not.

Meg is safe. I can see it in the careful way the men adjust the blanket and wait for her to accept the water. She does not look diminished. She looks emptied of every thought that normally crowds her mind.

I understand the appeal more deeply than I want to.

Jamerson's offered hand remains between us.

"You watched me more than you watched her," I say.

"Yes."

No denial. No attempt to make the answer polite.

"What did you learn?"

"You respond to patience more strongly than spectacle. You became tense when the scene intensified, but you relaxed whenever they checked her. You are curious about surrender, but only if you trust the person holding control."

"That's a lot to infer from breathing."

"You also pressed your thighs together when they made her wait."

Heat floods my face.

"Arrogant man."

"Observant man."

I look at his hand again before placing mine in it.

The coded lift takes us below the public floors. Jamerson shows me the medical suite first, then the bathing rooms and quiet lounges used for aftercare. He explains cleaning records, panic buttons and the rule that allows any member of staff to stop a scene.

"Even yours?" I ask.

"Especially mine. Power makes oversight more important, not less."

The answer is too perfect.

"Do you rehearse these lines?"

"I wrote several of the policies."

"That isn't an answer."

His mouth curves. "No. I didn't rehearse for you. You would hear it."

He takes me into the old bank vault. The circular room contains a chair beneath a cone of light, padded walls and discreet storage built into the original metal compartments.

"What happens here?"

"Whatever is negotiated."

"That sounds deliberately vague."

"Because I am not going to describe a fantasy and let you confuse curiosity with agreement."

I turn towards him. "You really believe control is care."

"I believe it can be. I also believe men use the language of dominance to excuse selfishness."

The shadow that moves through his expression makes me wonder whether he is thinking about Remi.

We sit at a desk for almost an hour. He tells me how he entered the scene at university, what he wants from submission and why none of his previous arrangements lasted.

"They weren't interesting enough?"

"They tried to become what they thought I wanted."

"And what do you want?"

His blue eyes settle on me.

"Someone who remains herself when she kneels."

The answer follows me all the way home.
