said as the two women hugged. “Ryan must be treating you very well.”
“He is. I’m so glad to see you.” She took Fallon’s hand and led her away from the house and toward the beach. “You look pretty good yourself. Tell me about it.”
“There isn’t much to tell.”
“Oh, come on. Richard is a hunk. What’s he like?”
“What makes you think it’s Richard?”
“Ryan told me. Richard’s had a thing for you for ages.” Candace stopped in her tracks, forcing Fallon to stop too. “It is Richard, isn’t it?”
“Yes, but we haven’t. . . . ” Fallon resumed walking. Candace scrambled in the soft sand to catch up.
“What? Why not?”
Fallon dropped to the sand just beyond the surf. She told Candace everything, ending with the faint rope lines that had marked her the night before, but with the morning light had been gone.
“Wait. You mean the rope outfit in the gift shop? The one on the mannequin?”
“Yep. That’s the one.”
“Wow. That must have cost a fortune.”
“I’m sure it did. And get this, Richard commissioned it for me.”
“That’s so romantic! So why haven’t you been to bed with him?”
“He hasn’t given me a chance. He won’t even let me touch him. Sometimes I think I’ll explode if he doesn’t make love to me, but he always makes sure I come. He won’t even let me taste his cock. I don’t understand.”
“I think I do. Ryan was like that too, at first. He made sure I found my pleasure, but he wouldn’t make love to me. He did let me, well, he ordered me to suck his cock. The lingerie you helped me pick out did the trick though, that and not letting him out of my cabin until he made love to me.”
“I remember the lingerie. At least you got to touch him. Richard won’t let me near him. I’m an expert in fellatio, for crying out loud.”
“Maybe that’s it. Maybe he doesn’t want you to think that’s all he wants from you.”
“I’ve seen him, you know. He brought a woman to a research session once.”
“Really? Ryan said the sessions he went to blew his mind. Not like the one with me, but you are good at what you do.”
“I’m glad you think so. You’re okay with Ryan and me? I never touched him, not in that way. It was clinical, in the way of instruction.”
“I know, and I’m okay with it. You’re a professional. Besides, he’s all mine now.”
“Not going to share him?” Fallon teased.
“No, I don’t think so.”
“You don’t think so? What does that mean?”
“Well, you know. . . . If the right couple were to come along. . . . ”
“Candace Williams. You surprise me! You’d really do that?”
Candace shrugged. “Maybe, if Ryan wanted to. Right now it’s enough that we have each other, but someday. . . . ” She changed the subject. “Tell me more about the ropes. You like it?”
They spent the next hour talking about the dynamics of being a submissive. Fallon outlined her new research idea. “I think it could work, but I’d have to stay on the Lothario . I can’t imagine any other place I could do that kind of research. Of course, I’ll have to talk to Richard and Ryan about it. They’d have to approve it, and renew my contract.”
“It might not be that simple, Fallon. Richard hasn’t told you?”
“Told me what?”
“They’re going to sell the Lothario .”
She thought she knew the answer, but she had to ask. “Why?”
“Ryan says he’s doing it for me. I suspect Richard has a similar reason.”
“Do you want Ryan to sell?”
“No. In fact, I’ve been trying to talk him into going back. I don’t want to live there forever, but I think we could have a good time, spend a few months onboard, a few here.”
She didn’t have time to ask Candace any more questions as Ryan and Richard joined them on the beach. It wasn’t the time or the place to confront Richard, so Fallon let her questions lie unanswered.
