I was watching him walk away when I heard a familiar voice say hello to Sir. I turned to see Kristen standing there. She looked absolutely nothing like I was used to seeing her. The outfit she had on was sexy and sleek, even the heels that her boyfriend (sub?) was in the process of removing for her.
Holy shit. What was going on here?
“I’m glad you could make it,” Sir stated.
I couldn’t have formed words to save my life.
This was my friend.
She was…not the same woman I knew.
“Yes, well, I figured why not. I am a bit curious as to how your little submissive is doing.”
Oh, my God! And she knew about my submissive relationship with these men.
“There may be a few things she doesn’t know about me,” Kristen clarified, her eyes dancing with amusement as she peered over at Sir.
A few? Try everything.
Kristen offered me a conspiratorial wink. I, however, didn’t respond. I had never seen her like this and I wasn’t really sure how to react. I wasn’t sure why, considering I’d just witnessed Jordan in his Master role and I had been able to converse with him without a problem.
I glanced over at her boyfriend, noticing he was standing just behind her and to the right. His head was down and he was wearing a collar around his neck. And now that I thought about it, he looked nothing like he had the few times I’d interacted with him over the years. While he normally appeared quite confident, he seemed very…submissive.
How in the world had I known this woman all this time and I didn’t know this about her? This was huge. Like monstrously huge.
I frowned. She and I were going to have to talk, because she had a lot of questions to answer.
Sir instructed them to go around to the back of the house and Kristen offered me a smile. I was still staring at her in awe, unsure how to act around her.
No matter who else showed up, I knew that this was going to be a very interesting party.

After all the guests made their way to the back deck, Sir and I walked Melanie and King out to the boat to see them off before we returned to the house. As we made our way up the back steps, Master was walking out onto the deck. His eyes searched the area until they landed on me. It made me feel good to know he was seeking me out.
Sir steered me around to where Master was getting everyone’s attention. The various conversations died off as everyone turned their attention to Master.
“First, we want to thank you all for joining us today. We realize it was a spur-of-the-moment invite and we appreciate you all changing your plans to be here. Second, we’re here to enjoy ourselves, to relax, and ultimately to have fun. If you’re a sub, follow your master’s rules. If you’re a Dom, well, do whatever the fuck you want.” He grinned as the Doms laughed in unison. “And beyond all that, my brother and I truly had an objective when we scheduled this last-minute party. Our submissive is currently transitioning—slowly, I might add—from the vanilla world into kink. We wanted the opportunity to show her that despite the differences, there are a vast amount of similarities. The biggest distinction”—Master smirked—“our parties are more fun.”
“Hear, hear!” someone cheered.
I couldn’t stop staring at Master. There was one key point I seemed to be hooked on. My brother and I truly had an objective when we scheduled this last-minute party. Was he saying what I thought he was saying? That they had put this party together on a whim? For me?
“Now, come here, pet,” Master commanded me, pulling me out of my stupor.
I moved toward him and warmed when he cupped my face.
“Merry Christmas.”
I smiled. “Merry Christmas, Master.” I sighed. “Did you…” My eyes darted around us. “Did you do this for me?”
He didn’t answer one way or another, but I could see the gleam in his eyes. They had done this for me. And that…that was probably the most generous thing anyone had ever done where I was concerned.
Master’s voice lowered as he leaned in. “Now kiss me, little one. I want to show all these other Doms who’s king.”
Unable to resist, I wrapped my arms around him, went up on my toes, and planted my lips on his.

BOSS MEETING
——————————————————
Justin
I KNEW WHEN I GOT the invite to the island that I wasn’t going to be thrilled with what was going on. However, that didn’t stop me from accepting and showing up. I was curious, wanted to understand what exactly was taking place.
And in an effort to get to the bottom of it now, I urged Langston and Landon to meet with me before the party got fully underway.
