Puddles (Rayne Enterprises Book 2), page 17
“Thank you.”
“Carter, can you let us in please?” Elias asks and she flips out of her trance of staring at me long enough to let us in.
“Thank you, Carter," I say as I turn and follow Elias past the floor to ceiling black curtains.
“I think someone has a crush on you,” Elias says in my ear but I barely hear him as I try to take in what is before me.
Men and women everywhere, like Elias said some fully clothed, some completely naked. I can see the bar and tables scattered around the room and then my eyes find a room of glass where there are at least ten people not only naked but fully engaged in sex with themselves, each other, and every combination.
“That’s the voyeur room,” Elias whispers in my ear.
“So they all know we are watching?”
“That’s why they go in there,” he says, pulling on my hand. “C’mon let’s go see Luke.”
We walk across the room and as we do, men and women all greet Elias by name, shaking his hand, and hugging him. It's strange to see how comfortable everyone is with their nakedness and this is coming from a girl who is a stripper.
“Elias!” Luke exclaims as we reach the bar.
“Mia, you’re looking as beautiful as ever.”
“Thank you,” I say, a little taken aback. I think I met Luke once at my Mom and Nolan’s engagement party.
“Luke here is a charmer, he will say anything to sell a beautiful woman a drink,” Elias says and I take the opportunity to catch him off guard.
“So are you saying I don’t look beautiful tonight?” I ask and then I watch as his face turns a ghostly white and his mouth opens to apologize.
“I’m kidding Elias, relax. Two whiskey and cokes please Luke,” I say with a wink.
“I like her Elias,” he says, turning to fill our order.
“I’m so sorry princess, it’s not what I meant at all. You are the most beautiful woman in the world,” he says begging with his beautiful green eyes for forgiveness.
“Hey, relax Mr. Cole, everyone is here to have fun, right?” I smirk knowing I finally got one over on him.
“So are you two here to rent a room or just for entertainment tonight?” Luke asks, handing us our drinks.
“I think Mia here just wants to see what The Umbrella Club is all about,” Elias says as a beautiful woman walks up to the bar and orders a drink, naked.
Luke makes and hands the drink to her and she walks away into the arms of another beautiful woman.
“Yeah sorry I couldn’t make it Sunday dinner, someone in this family still has to work,” Luke winks.
“Speaking of family, if you could keep our visit under the radar,” Elias says and I watch as Luke pretends to zip his lips shut.
“Thanks, man.”
Luke walks over to the other side of the bar and Elias turns to me, “Ready for the tour?”
“As ready as I’ll ever be,” I say, downing my entire drink and leaving the empty glass on the bar.
“Okay then,” Elias says, eying my empty glass.
The Umbrella Club is different from what I pictured. The lights are dim but not dark and they are brighter than the ones in Puddles. Everyone here is friendly but not in a strange way. Elias was right, everyone seems to be enjoying the fact that they can just be themselves.
“Down here are a bunch of different rooms. If you book one you have the option to keep the curtains closed or open them so people walking by can watch,” he says as we come upon one of those rooms where a man is enjoying his evening with two women.
“So can they see us?” I ask and Elias wraps his strong arms around my waist and snuggles me close to his body, “No.”
We watch as one woman climbs up over the man and faces his erect cock. She lowers herself down over his face, and the other woman climbs up and takes the length of his cock into her pussy. As she rides him, the two women fondle each other's breasts and kiss until the woman, who is sitting on the man’s face, arches her back and cums all over his beard. The other woman seems to pick up her pace and soon the three of them are fully satisfied with their time at The Umbrella Club.
We walk past more rooms that have their curtains closed but then we come upon one which is open and what I see I was not prepared for. A woman is tied up with rope. Her hands are bound behind her back as a man circles her like a lion with his prey.
“We don’t have to watch,” Elias says, pulling on my hand.
“Wait,” I say, fixated on the couple before me. I watch as he walks up to her and she opens her mouth and he thrusts his cock inside. He grabs the back of her head and fucks her face until I can see tears dripping out of her eyes. I know it is all consensual but I don’t think I could ever do it, but just when I think I have to look away I notice something. The man who has just come down her throat suddenly drops to his knees and begins untying her. Her body seems spent but she smiles at him with loving eyes. He picks her up in his arms and lays her on the bed. I watch in awe as he crosses the room and runs a small towel under the faucet and walks back and begins to wipe her body down. The love in his eyes is evident, even from out here.
“He’s so gentle now,” I say out loud even though I don’t mean to.
“He’s a Dom. It’s his job to take care of his submissive. She gives him what he needs, and in turn, he gives her what she craves- love.”
I watch as the two of them look at each other with such trust, “It’s beautiful,” I say and Elias grabs my hand and pulls me through an ‘employee only’ door.
“What are you doing?” I ask and before he answers his mouth crushes into mine. Our tongues find their familiar pace and soon the wetness between my legs grows.
“Princess, I want to show you the rest of the club but right now I need to be inside you,” he says and I am beyond turned on. I have never seen him like this and I like it.
“Take me to a room Mr. Cole,” I say and before I can even finish my sentence he sweeps me up into his arms and carries me down the hall until he turns the knob to a room and opens the door. Inside is a round bed covered in black leather. Chains and whips and all sorts of apparatuses that I have no idea what they do hang from the ceiling and walls.
“Elias,” I say with a warning tone.
“Don’t worry princess, I don’t care about anything but this beautiful body of yours,” he says as he lays me down in the center of the bed.
His hands make quick work to rip off my panties and as he dives face first into my pussy I scream when his tongue thrusts into me.
“Elias!” I yell and quickly cover my mouth.
“Don’t worry baby the rooms are all soundproof, yell away,” he smiles and returns to sucking and lapping at my pussy with wild abandon.
I reach underneath my shirt and tease at my nipples and then, feeling the constraints I sit up as much as I can and rip both my shirt and bra off.
“Fuck princess you're so wet for me,” Elias says sliding his fingers inside my throbbing pussy.
“Yes, fuck me with your fingers,” I beg and he does. His mouth and hands work in unison until I am grabbing the metal headboard as the cum flows from my body.
As I try and catch my breath I watch as Elias strips down to his magnificent naked self and reaches up and pulls off my skirt and panties and finally, we are both naked. I watch as he climbs up onto the bed and his cock stands at attention and I just want to touch it.
I sit up and wrap my hand around the girth as he growls with every movement. I look up at him and smile as I lower my head and tease the tip with my tongue.
“Mia,” he moans and I take the length of him in my mouth. The harder I suck while stroking his shaft, his hips start to push and pull down my throat. He is gentle but with each passing second, I want him further inside me. I reach down and cup his balls and then I feel him thrust hard until his cock bounces off the back of my throat. I begin to massage him as I suck and before I know it his cum is shooting down my throat and I lick off every last drop.
“Ummm,” I say, laying back on the bed as Elias lies next to me.
“Princess, that was the best,” he says trying to catch his breath.
“Well, if you think that was good,” I say, flipping over on all fours and wiggling my ass.
“As you wish princess,” he says and he wastes no time getting hard again as he grabs my body and pulls me to the edge of the bed where he stands.
“Hang on,” he warns as he slams his cock into me.
“Fuck!” I scream as I look back and see him smile.
“You’re doing so good, baby.”
“Fuck me Eilas,” I yell and he does. Harder and faster than ever before. I try to grab onto anything but fail as he pillages my pussy until I cum. He doesn’t stop and then I feel him do something he never has. A warm drop of something rolls over my ass cheek and then I feel his thumb rubbing my tight hole. Before I turn and look I feel the tip of his thumb dip inside my puckered hole and my fucking god it feels good.
“Oh, Elias,” I moan.
“You’re such a good girl Mia. Push your ass back for me. That’s it, a little more. Oh fuck baby, you’re doing so good I think I might come.”
His words are like heroin and as his cock ravishes my pussy and his thumb breaks through barriers I didn’t know existed, my body is overrun with emotion and pleasure.
“I’m gonna cum,” I say and before I know it, the orgasm takes over my body and I can feel the cum dripping down onto the bed. I clench my pussy around Elias and say, “Come for me Elias,” and he does, driving his cock and thumb inside me at the same time.
When he pulls out we both lay on the bed wrapped in each other’s arms heaving for breath.
“You are such a good girl Mia,” he says as he strokes my hair.
“I like that,” I say knowing he knows what I mean.
“Well, we can explore anything you want Princess.”
After a while, the chill in the room takes over and my body begins to shiver. Elias gets up and runs a towel under the hot water and comes back and wipes me down until I am ready to get dressed and head out to explore the rest of the club.
“Drinks?” Luke says as we approach the bar.
“Thank you," I say, taking the glass and noticing just how much he looks like Nolan.
“Hey, where are Tyra and Dimitri tonight?” Elias asks Luke and I turn wondering who they are.
“Up at Aurora, Nolan and Grace have some new ideas and I think they were going to ask Tyra and Dimitri about them while they are up there,” Luke says and I must admit thinking about my Mom and soon-to-be stepdad at a mountain sex resort is not the most comfortable thing.
“Who are Tyra and Dimirti?” I ask pushing out any thoughts of my Mom and Nolan at Aurora.
“They are a couple who frequent The Umbrella Club a lot,” Luke says.
“They are both exhibitionists and enjoy, shall we say, group activities,” Elias adds and he points to the voyeur room.
My eyes follow his finger and I am in awe that so many people just let themselves be watched by anyone and everyone who may walk in. I mean more power to them, I just can’t imagine. When I think about it is probably a pretty fucked up thing for a stripper to say.
“Are you ready to go see the rest of the club?” Elias asks, getting up from his seat and holding out his hand to me.
We walk through the other hallways stopping and watching when the curtains are open. I’m not going to lie, it’s hot as fuck to watch but what I want even more is to be at home with my husband, naked.
“So what do you think?” Elias asks as he rubs his hand over the small of my back.
“I like this place,” I say.
“Most people do,” he teases.
“But you know what I like better?” I ask, grabbing him by the waist and pulling him into me.
“Tell me.”
“Being at home with you,” I say as I get up on my tip toes and kiss his soft lips.
“That can be arranged.”
After goodbyes to Luke and a promise to come back again, Elias and I jump into the truck and head home.
Home.
Where we can really be ourselves, our married selves. With only each other and every possibility imaginable.
By the end of the week, everyone will know we are married, but for now, I am going to enjoy our little secret.
Chapter 17

“Are you sure you don’t want this?” Elias asks, holding up the bouquet of dead pink roses.
“I’m sure.”
I laugh knowing he got them for me and if I wanted fresh flowers I need to look no further than home, where he has roses delivered for me every week.
Since 9 AM we have been here, at my apartment, loading up the rest of my things and making an even bigger pile of things to take to the dump.
“All right,” Elias says on his hundredth trip to the truck, “I think we need to make a run to the house.”
I grab my purse and keys and we head out for what will hopefully be the last trip.
After we unload everything and I grab the basket of cleaning supplies I bought we head back to make this move final, once and for all.
“Mia, I think it’s clean enough,” Elias says as I crawl on my hands and knees around the bathroom floor.
“But I want my security deposit back,” I whine.
“How much is it?” he asks, as I brush my hair out of my face with my yellow rubber gloves.
“Three hundred,” I say exhausted.
Elias pulls out his wallet and thumbs through the cash and holds out a pile toward me.
“I will give you five hundred if we can turn your keys in and be done with this place,” he says and I laugh.
“Fine, you win,” I say standing up and tossing my yellow gloves into the sink. The next person can thank me.
I take a last look around at the first and last place I ever had on my own and in a way I am sad. But then I look over at Elias and realize my life has just begun. I grab the last box and set the keys to the apartment on the kitchen counter. After one last look, I pull the locked door closed and say goodbye to that chapter in my life.
“Give me that,” Elias says, taking the box from my arms.
“From now on I promise I will take care of you,” he says kissing me on the forehead and I know, with everything that I am, that he is telling me the truth.
Once Elias gets in and he is about to start the truck I grab his hand, “There is someplace I want to show you.”
The Diner is packed on this Tuesday afternoon but as soon as I walk in, Peggy’s face lights up and she runs over to hug me.
“Mia! I thought you had run away darlin’,” she says until she sees Elias behind me.
“Nev-er-mind,” she says, pushing me out of the way and grabbing Elias’s hand.
“Now I can see what’s been taking all your time.”
“Peggy this is Elias,” I interject attempting to pry my husband away from her.
“It’s very nice to meet you, Peggy,” Elias oozes his charm and I think I see Peggy falter for the first time ever.
“It’s nice to meet you too Elias,” she says as we make our way to ‘my booth’ and as Elias turns to walk down the aisle I swear I hear her say, “Very nice indeed.”
“What can I get the two lovebirds?”
“I’ll have my usual,” I order and then I look at Elias.
“Same,” he says smiling at Peggy and I think she blushes as she scribbles on her order pad and takes our orders back to Rocco.
“Am I going to have to worry about you trading me in for Peggy over there?”
“I don’t know, I mean she’s pretty hot for an old lady,” he teases and I kick him under the table.
“Ow.”
My burger is perfect. As it turns out, all those times I thought they only tasted good because I was starving. I was wrong. They really are delicious.
“This definitely makes the late night burger list,” Elias says as he devours his bacon cheeseburger.
“Wait till you taste the pie,” I say, wiggling my eyebrows.
The look on Elias’s face changes and I turn around and try to see who or what he is looking at. A man sits in the corner booth with his hood pulled up and a baseball cap pulled tightly down covering his face.
“There is something about that guy,” Elias whispers and I feel it too but I’ve been here a thousand times, and with the hours I have occupied this booth, I could have seen him plenty of times.
“He’s probably a regular, Peggy tends to take care of those who need a helping hand, like yours truly,” I say, drinking my last sip of water.
My words must spark something in him because he reaches across and grabs my hand.
“You never have to want for anything ever again princess, I swear I will take care of you until the day I die,” he says and somehow I feel like there is a deeper meaning behind it than just words.
“I know you will,” I say as I let my thumb trace circles on his hand to let him know that I hear and believe him.
“Can I get you two anything else?” Peggy asks as she grabs our empty plates.
“No thanks Peggy, I think we are going to head out.”
“Actually Peggy,” Elias begins, “That guy over in the booth, do you know him?”
“Nope, but he’s been coming here every day for the past week or so. Not a big talker, and can barely get his order out. I think he’s harmless,” she says as she moves to the next table before heading back to the kitchen.
“Elias, what is it?”
“I don’t know but there is just something about him,” he says and an unfamiliar look crosses his face. For the first time, I think I see what Elias is truly capable of when he is in protective mode.
“Girls, you are on fire tonight!” Lola exclaims as she bursts through the dressing room door.
After lunch at The Diner, Elias and I went home and started unpacking all of my things and integrating them into our new shared home. It’s funny moving in with someone for the first time. You think that you know someone and then you spend twenty minutes arguing about how to fold the towels. Lucky for Elias and I we made a new rule that if we are going to fight we have to fight naked. So when he questioned my towel folding style, I stripped naked, and let's just say the towels will be folded my way from now on.
