Not Damaged(2)

“Nothing.” Jake stared at Jesse, who continued to twirl the straw in her glass. “It’s not my story to tell. I’m not breaking any of the club rules, Ryan. She needs me, and I’m doing my best to take care of her.”

Before Ryan could question him further, Jake walked away. His curiosity piqued he headed toward the bar.

Once he got closer to her, Ryan saw her hands shake as she lifted her glass. Staying far enough away from her, he ordered a bottle of water from Henri who manned the bar. She didn’t stare his way at all. He watched men walk toward her. The ones who got passed Jake were brushed off by her. She looked bored but also terrified as she looked.

What on earth was going on inside his club?

The hours passed and he spent his time at the bar watching her. She didn’t make a move from her seat. Jake finally walked to her side. Ryan saw Jake lean down and whispered something in her ear.

She looked up, catching his gaze. Nodding his head, Ryan raised his bottle of water. Jesse turned back to Jake. He really wished he knew what they were saying. Instead, they argued for several seconds before Jake caught her arm and began leading her out of the room down toward the dungeons.

Interesting.

Taking his bottled water, he headed back to Bill. He needed to know the secrets going on between Jesse and Jake.

Jake slammed the door closed to the dungeon room he always used. Jesse watched him waiting for him to explode. He didn’t look happy about that man at the bar. She’d been aware of him looking at her for most of the night. Out of all the men she’d seen, the mystery man was the first not to make her terrified.

“We can’t keep fucking doing this,” Jake said, turning back to her. They’d known each other for a lifetime. She trusted him with so much, even to keeping her secrets.

He walked to the far wall and stared up at the camera she knew stood there.

“What’s this about? Have you found a woman for your own play?” she asked.

“Fuck, Jesse, this is not about that. The man at the bar is my boss. His name is Ryan Carter and he owns this club.”

“So?”

“So, fuck, you didn’t even see his interest in you, did you? God, he’s going to fire me when he realizes what I’ve been doing.” He hung his head, gazing down at the floor. “I’ve got a reputation to think about, Jesse.”

"We’ve done nothing wrong. I don’t see a problem.” She rubbed her arms hoping he’d give her tonight. One week had passed since the last time she saw him. No matter how much she tried, Jesse couldn’t find release with her own hand. “You promised me you could help me.” Tears filled her eyes. The shock wave of emotion threatened to pull her down.

“No, don’t cry.” He turned, going to her side and wrapping her in his arms. “Shit, I’m sorry. I just don’t know what to say to him.”#p#分页标题#e#

Jake was her brother’s best friend. He’d been the man who found her locked in the old barn over ten years ago when she’d been taken. At fifteen she’d been walking home from school when a man pulled up behind her, got out of the car and kidnapped her. He’d taken her to an abandoned farm over thirty miles from where she lived. Pain consumed her at the memories and she locked them out, terrified to let them appear in her mind. She’d been taken by a man she didn’t know and raped. The man hadn’t hurt her though. He’d taken her and made love to her, caressing her body.

No, don’t think about it.

She cut the memories of his touch from her mind. Since that awful part of her life she’d visited a physiatrist regularly talking about her feelings. The man had been shot down on the run from hurting other girls. Jesse knew she would never be the same again. She wasn’t damaged anymore but whole. At least that’s what the outside world and her family tried to believe. One night she’d gotten drunk with Jake for her twenty-fourth birthday and admitted she couldn’t bring herself to orgasm. She told him everything in her drunken state of what happened with the man who’d taken her. The only time she’d been able to reach orgasm had been when she caused a bite of pain toward her peak. Ever since then she’d been terrified of what it all meant. She didn’t want sweetness or lovemaking. The only thing she hoped to have was the ability to reach an orgasm.

Unlike everyone else Jake listened and the following morning he’d tried something different. He’d taken her home down to his basement where she discovered a whole new world. Jake talked nonstop about bondage, Domination, submission. Taking a chance she’d agreed to play the part of his submissive within the basement. That day would stay with her forever. He didn’t push her boundaries as he worked her body over. What he’d given her was the ability to reach orgasm without a single thought of his touch invading the moment. There was nothing sexual between them. Jesse wasn’t even attracted to Jake but his ability to bring her pleasure made her feel indebted to him.
