A Little Harmless Fantasy (23 page)

“Why don’t you have a seat and tell us what’s going
on over there,” May said.

Dee shot her a look but she smiled at Eli. “Yeah, why not?”

“I don’t mind if I do,” he said, taking the open
seat and smiling at her. For a second, she felt all her brain cells
freeze. She was accustomed to gorgeous men. Hell, she was having a
wild affair with two, but there was something about Eli that stunned
her. Women who walked by the table slowed down.

“So, Maura, have you ever been to the Big Island?”

* * * *

“This is going to kick some ass,” Zeke said as he looked
at the new set up in Rough ‘n Ready. “I knew some of the
preliminaries, but Conner didn’t tell me you had it installed.”

Micah nodded. “He did an excellent job with it. We needed
something to keep up with the demand of a growing business. And,
well, it sure is pretty.”

Zeke didn’t take his attention from the multitude of screens in
front of him. “We really appreciate you moving your business to
us.”

“We like to keep it in the family so to speak. At the time,
McMasters was the best we could afford. Now that we’ve grown
and we sort of count y’all as family, we wanted a change. With
Conner trying to gain some business in this part of the world, we
figured it would help. We get a lot of businessmen who buy daily or
weekly passes.”

“I think that is bloody brilliant, if you ask me,” Rory
said. “Especially in a locale like this. People constantly
coming in for a small amount of time.”

“It’s been a virtual cash cow for us,” Evan said.

Zeke nodded and started playing with some of the cameras. “I
can imagine.”

“What is that asshole doing here tonight?” Evan asked,
stepping up behind him.

At first, Zeke wasn’t sure just who he was talking about until
he looked at the screen that had caught his attention. He watched as
some fucker leaned closer to Maura, smiled as he said something.
Maura threw her head back and laughed. Zeke couldn’t hear her,
but it didn’t matter. What the bloody hell did that bastard
think he was doing?

“Who the fuck is that?” Zeke asked.

Rory came up from behind him and looked over his shoulder. “I
think if he touches her, I might have to break his hand.”

“That’s one of our members, Eli St. John. I didn’t
know he was back on the island.”

“Well, he can just get the bloody hell off the island,”
Zeke said as he strode to the door. He knew they were following him
but he paid no heed. Didn’t Maura understand that she wasn’t
supposed to be flirting with another Dom? He wasn’t even in the
fucking life and he understood it.

He ignored the strange looks as he pushed through the crowd to where
the women were sitting. Maura looked at him and grinned, but it soon
dimmed when she saw his expression. The jackass who had been flirting
with her looked over his shoulder and the fucker was stupid enough to
smile.

“Ah, just as I expected. Gentlemen,” he said, standing.
He heard the slight Aussie accent, and he saw the warning in his
gaze. This was not just some normal client. This was a guy who had
seen some action. He looked past Zeke. “Chambers. Ross. I was
just talking to the ladies here.”

“When are you not,” Dee said struggling to stand up. He
moved to help her, but Micah stepped in.

“I allow for a lot, but touching my woman is not one of them.”

St. John held up his hands. “No problem, just wanted to help
her. Promise.”

“Eli, this is O’Brian and McAllister. Guys, this is Eli
St. John. He runs the Kaheaku Ranch on the Big Island,” Evan
said. “Sort of surprised to see you here. Aren’t you
usually busy this time of year? I thought you had your annual pageant
for the guests.”

The man’s smile dimmed a bit. “Big Joe is here at
Queen’s. I hopped over to see him. And now that I’ve done
my duty, I think I’m off to hunt for another fair submissive.
Good night, ladies. It was a pleasure to see you again, Ms. Dillon.”

With that he walked away. Zeke and Rory never had a chance to say a
damned thing to him.

“He’s so sad,” May said, as she stood.

“Sad?” Zeke asked.

“Yes. I have a feeling Joe Kaheaku is dying. They go a long way
back.”

“And before you think about following him or giving him any
problems, O’Brian just know that he’s ex SASR,”
Ross said.

Maura gave them a heated look. “You will not give him any
problems.”

Rory snorted, his gaze still on the cowboy. “I think I do what
I want.”

“I think you’ll be sleeping alone if you do.”

He turned and looked at her. “Is that so?”

She ignored him and looked at Chambers and Ross. “SASR. So,
Australian Special Forces. And I am assuming he was probably one of
the most lethal of them all.”

Evan shrugged. “Not sure. I do know that Joe was a Seal, so
that’s probably how they met and they run a tight ship over
there at the ranch.”

She looked at both of them. “Do not cause a scene. He was
telling me about things at the ranch and even invited all three of us
to visit.”

Zeke watch the bastard walk through the crowd to find himself another
sub for the evening. It took all of his control not to follow after
the bastard.

“I think May and Dee owe you two men an apology,” Ross
said.

Both Zeke and Rory turned around and stared at the two women.

“Hey, I had nothing to do with it. You know how May can get.”

Evan slipped his arm around May’s waist and leaned down and
said something to her that none of them could hear. Her entire face
flushed in embarrassment.

“I apologize.”

“I really don’t know what everyone is upset over,”
Maura said as she slipped out of the booth. She stepped in front of
them and leaned in closer. “Unless you want some kind of
incident to happen.”

“Yeah, like I kick him so hard in the ballocks that he has a
permanent change to his voice,” Zeke said.

Rory glanced at him. “Actually, I have to say that kind of
makes me hot, Zee.”

She rolled her eyes. “Go ahead. Then you can deal with Conner
and explain to him why you want to beat the hell out of a man for no
good reason. Or are you ready to tell him what’s going on?”

The challenge she gave them was enough to make him cool down.

“And you, Zeke, you got pissed at him two years ago for hitting
on me. Get over it.”

She turned and Rory grabbed her arm. “Where are you going?”

She shook her hair back. “If you must know. I drank a lot of
water.” When Rory held onto her arm she rolled her eyes. “I
have to pee.”

She untangled herself from his grasp and walked off. Zeke knew that
it was almost too much for Rory to take. It was a bit of a challenge
in front of people at the club, but most of them weren’t paying
attention.

Dee slipped around them. “Being pregnant, I can understand her
predicament.”

She hurried after Maura and May started to, but turned to face both
men. She settled her hands on her hips. “Now, gentlemen, I see
the way you look at her. Don’t blame her. I set it up and Eli
is always willing to help me. Just remember how it felt to watch her
with another man other than you two when the week is up.”

With that she followed after the other two women. Chambers clapped
him on the shoulder. “Sorry, there, O’Brian. Our women do
like to meddle. Just make sure that you don’t blame Maura too
much.”

“Yeah, and knowing Evan, May won’t be trying that
particular line of matchmaking after tonight,”

Chambers chuckled as he crossed his arms over his chest and watched
his wife disappear into the bathroom. “And I am going to enjoy
that little lesson in particular.”

* * * *

Maura was still irritated and embarrassed by the guy’s behavior
at the club. She knew part of it was her fault, but she truly didn’t
think they would react the way they did. They didn’t say much
as they left the club and walked to the Jeep. When they were on the
road again, the only noise was the wind whipping through her hair.
She had never seen Zeke so angry before. Sure he was a little
possessive when they had first started dating, but that had been more
about protecting her while they were on the island and on a mission
than anything else. Or had it?

She had never had a man get jealous like that before. She knew that
May had been trying to help so she couldn’t truly fault her,
but Maura didn’t like it.

She watched as Rory downshifted and came to a halt at a light on Ala
Moana.

“I don’t play games like that.” She looked over her
shoulder at Zeke. “You should know better. I don’t think
it’s fun to have guys who are jealous over me.”

“I didn’t say I was jealous,” Zeke said, still not
looking at her.

“Really? I am kind of confused then why you rushed up to the
table then. Were you just hot to have a conversation.”

She turned around and crossed her arms over her chest. Men.
Seriously, he couldn’t admit he was jealous?

“You didn’t look like you were pushing him away,”
Zeke said.

She gasped and turned around. “What was I supposed to do? Am I
not supposed to talk to other men at all? Rory is the Dom here, so
I’m not understanding why you’re going all possessive on
me.”

“Well, I would have paddled your ass red in public if I had
thought you were flirting with him,” Rory said.

She opened her mouth to yell at him but the image he created was too
delicious. She shivered. He hadn’t been looking at her, but he
laughed. Damn, he already knew her too well.

“Oh, no. We’re going to have to do something in public
with you.”

“Out of the question here because of Conner,” Zeke said.
He didn’t say anymore and just kept looking at the scenery as
it passed by. She had a feeling he wasn’t really seeing any of
it.

“Give it up, boy-o. You were ready to pounce on that cowboy
faster than a tic on a dog.”

She looked at Rory and laughed. The southern kind of saying sounded
odd given in his Irish accent. His lips twitched. Maura looked at
Zeke who said nothing and showed no reaction.

“Zeke, I didn’t do anything wrong.”

“I didn’t say you did, even though you were a little too
open to being flirted with. And I am emphatically denying that I was
jealous,” Zeke muttered.

“Well, I was, and I am going to show you just how jealous when
we get home,” Rory said. “It might not be in public, but
I think you need to learn a little discipline and we haven’t
spent that much time with the paddle.”

She opened her mouth but no sound came out. Her body was already
reacting to the threat. No, not a threat, a promise. She squeezed her
legs together to reduce the pressure but he tsked.

“Nope, spread those legs, precious. You apparently need to
learn a little discipline and I aim to teach it to you.”

And just like that her body was humming with need. Maura turned and
faced forward. They were driving along H1 and he took the exit for
Likelike Highway. He came to a stop at the light and looked over.

“That’s not wide enough. Spread them wider.”

She knew if she did, her skirt would ride up and she would be
exposed. There wasn’t anyone around them, but that didn’t
mean there wouldn’t be. Rory apparently didn’t like her
hesitation.

“Do it now.”

She immediately did as he ordered, exposing her pussy.

“Wider.”

She complied. The rush of the naughty behavior and the fear of
getting caught had her blood heating. They couldn’t play in
public and this was the next best thing.

“Hands on your thighs and no touching our pussy.”

She did as he ordered. They were still alone at the light. He reached
over and smacked her pussy. The quick slap sent tendrils of pleasure
and frustration rolling through her.

“Now, you sit like that until we get back to the house.”
He glanced in the back seat at Zeke. “We should have put her in
the back with you. You need to see how pretty she’s sitting
here.”

He took off when the light turned green and drove down Likelike. She
didn’t turn around but she heard Zeke move forward.

“See anything you like, Zee?” Rory asked, his voice
dancing over the words.

“Yeah,” he said. “Yeah I do.”

Just hearing the arousal in their voices had her arousal spiking.
God, she wanted to touch herself, give herself a little relief, but
she knew the rules. As it was, the cool Hawaiian air was whipping
through the Jeep, it kept brushing over her bare labia. Rory had
ordered her to spread her legs so wide, she was ready to die. She
knew she was already wet, dripping in fact.

Fuck
.

“Ah, I think our lover here is frustrated, Zee.”

Zeke chuckled. “Yeah, I can imagine.”

“Push your ass up a little more in the seat, Maura.”

She did as ordered, her legs spreading further apart.

“Yeah, like that. Now, arch your back a little more. I want to
see your breasts against that shirt.”

He hummed when she did as he ordered.

“I would love to pull over, bend you over the hood and fuck
you. God, that would be fantastic.”

Again, the image he was creating had her moaning.

“But, we can’t. I bought an extra special toy tonight,
and I want to use it on you.”

Zeke slipped his hands around her seat and covered her breasts.
“Shit, her nipples are so fucking hard.”

“They hurt, love?” Rory asked.

“Y-yes.”

Zeke pinched them. The mixture of a pleasure and pain shot through
her and she jolted in the seat. Unfortunately, it didn’t give
her any relief.

“Do it again, Zee.”

He did and she reacted the same way. She couldn’t help it.

“Damn, we should have brought the clamps,” Rory muttered.

“Don’t worry. We’re almost back to the house,”
Zeke said. “And then, you can teach Maura a lesson.”

It only took them less than five minutes to get to the house but
Maura was no less affected. In fact, it had felt like hours to get
there.
