here tonight. She needed the love of her friends right now, and they were giving it to her in spades. A few men and women knelt at her feet, not touching her, but paying their respects to her in a way that made Emma smile. He glanced around the room while she talked, and found a great deal of the mostly men, but a few women were on their knees by who he assumed were their Masters or Mistresses.
    He glanced over at Emma and found her watching him with a warm look, then she answered Ryan’s unspoken question. “No, I won’t make you kneel. Moira doesn’t normally demand such a formal scene from her submissives, but it’s her birthday so she gets what she wants. In this case, she wants total control of those two. As for everyone else, it’s totally personal preference.”
    Jealousy goaded him as he wondered if Emma would want that, to have two men serve her, and he couldn’t stomach the thought of some stranger sticking his cock in his woman. She shot him a searching look, but before she could say anything, Master Chris stood and held his hand out. “Darling, so nice of you to join us. I’ve missed you.”
    A loud bang resounded through the room as a bottle of champagne was opened. She suddenly clung to him, but not as if seeking comfort but as if to shield his body with hers. Frustration and sadness made his chest heavy as she let out a soft whimper. God damn that bastard for doing this to her, for making her so afraid.
    Emma remained frozen, then shuddered when Ryan laid a gentle hand on her shoulder and held his own hand out instead for Master Chris so she could have a moment to collect herself. “Good to see you again.”
    For a long moment, Master Chris kept his gaze on Emma, but after studying her he turned those intense blue eyes to Ryan. As their gaze met, Ryan was reminded of how good-looking Master Chris was with his blond hair and neatly trimmed beard, a thought that both embarrassed and aroused him. He knew it was normal for him to feel an attraction to the man after the erotic scene that they’d done together, but he was unprepared for the way his dick would quickly harden. When Master Chris shook Ryan’s hand, the other man’s strong fingers lingered for a moment, stroking Ryan’s hand as everything about him promised a hot, dirty fuck if Ryan wanted it.
    “Good to see you too. Thanks for bringing Emma out to play. We’ve missed her. Tanya says I’m getting too cocky with only Moira around to bust my balls.”
    “Master,” Tanya said with a giggle that tinkled like bells, “I would never say such a thing.”
    “Brat,” he muttered then gave her a sweet kiss.
    “Only for you, my love,” she whispered back with a wide smile.
    Master Chris sighed and gave Ryan a look that plainly said he had his hands full.
    Tanya chose that moment to skip around the table and pull Emma into a big hug. Tonight the little pink-haired woman wore a simple, sweet blue dress that flounced with her every movement. Large diamond studs sparkled in her ears and her big teal eyes had been outlined in black, making them seem huge, and adding to her pixie-cute looks. The memory of Tanya’s pink lips wrapped around his cock as he fucked her throat slammed into him and Ryan’s hand convulsively squeezed Master Chris’. Somehow, they were still holding hands over the table and he started to remove his, but Master Chris tightened his grip, then leaned in and whispered, “We’re the carrot tonight.”
    Ryan frowned, trying to figure out what the other man was saying. “What?”
    “Carrot. Emma gets off on watching two men together, so we’re going to oblige her. We won’t do anything you’re uncomfortable with, but we can make a little look like a lot with the right moves. You with me?”
    Completely caught off guard and uncomfortably aroused, he was about to say no when Emma’s voice drifted to him, “Is everything okay over there?”
    The warmth in her voice soothed him and he nodded to Master Chris. “I’m with
