Chapter 8

Kyle did what Max told her and met them downstairs, taking a seat between them on the couch. There were a few other people joining them.

Dimitri pulled her face toward him and gave her a kiss in front of everyone, causing her face to turn red. She felt shy showing them affection in front of people. She was afraid of people judging her.

“We wanted to introduce you to some of the people today, ~myshka~,” Dimitri said.

Kyle looked at everyone, just like they were all looking at her.

“Let’s start with Mike,” Max said. “Mike is one of our enforcers; he lives to beat shit up, and the lady sitting on him is Sarah.

“The guy to the right of Mike is Jason, and he is another enforcer. He’s the good cop to Mike’s bad cop.”

Max took a moment to let Kyle soak up the information.

“This is Andrei and his soon-to-be wife, Jessie. Then we have Anatoli right there, and Gemma next to him.”

“It’s nice to meet everyone,” Kyle responded.

They all nodded at her and greeted her respectfully.

“I wanted you to meet them because Anatoli and the girls will be taking you shopping.” Max grabbed her by the chin and made her look at him.

“You are to be on your best behavior. You are to shop for clothes with the girls and come back. Anatoli will provide me with updates, and depending on how you are, you’ll be rewarded or punished. Do you understand?”

“I-I understand,” she said.

“Very good.” Max kissed her as a reward for answering him. “Now, go get your shoes on and get ready to leave.”

Kyle spent most of the ride observing Jessie, Sarah, and Gemma. She could tell they were close and felt like a third wheel. She didn’t think she would fit in with them.

“Why are you so quiet?” Gemma asked Kyle.

Kyle didn’t know how to answer Gemma. She had always been quiet.

“I don’t know. I’ve just always been that way,” Kyle said.

“Well, girl, we are going to fix that. You’re with Dimitri and Max, and while they like a submissive girl, they like conversation too,” Jessie added.

When they arrived at their first store, Gemma pulled Kyle right to the lingerie section.

“I don’t need any of this,” Kyle protested.

“Nonsense. You’re with two of the hottest guys—you need something to drive them crazy.”

“How about this one?”

Sarah held up a one-piece set.

It was white lace and see-through. The top mimicked a bikini top but had a string going down each side connecting to the panties, which only covered the front, which was see-through as well.

“There’s nothing to it,” Kyle said as her face turned pink.

“That’s the point. Here—go try it on,” Gemma said, handing it to Kyle.

Kyle just stood there until Sarah forced her into the changing stall with her.

“What are you doing?” Kyle snapped at Sarah.

“Relax, I’m just making you try this one,” Sarah said calmly.

“What is with everyone and making me strip in front of them?”

Sarah giggled at what Kyle said. “It’s just the way it is with us. Now, try the damn thing on,” Sarah commanded.

Kyle tried on the piece, and she had to admit that it was comfortable, and she did feel sexy.

“Your boobs look fucking hot in this. The guys are going to go crazy,” Sarah told Kyle.

Kyle blushed at Sarah’s words.

“Can I change back?” Kyle asked.

“Hold on one second . . .” Sarah told her. “Anatoli, what do you think?”

Kyle was mortified. “I think if she wore that before, she would have been thoroughly fucked by now.”

Kyle was fuming. “Get the fuck out, both of you.”

“Be careful of your tone, little girl. Don’t disrespect us,” Anatoli warned her.

“I don’t care; you both crossed a line,” Kyle said as she pushed them out.

Kyle couldn’t calm down after that. The only person that wasn’t pissing her off was Jessie, so that’s who Kyle paid attention to and shopped with.

When she got home, neither Max nor Dimitri were in the main part of the house. She figured they were either in their office or bedroom, so she went upstairs.

Since Dimitri told her she would be sleeping in his bed tonight, she went up to his room.

Kyle was exhausted from the day, so she went to Dimitri’s closet and found a T-shirt of his and climbed into bed.

Kyle was almost asleep when the door opened.

“Why didn’t you come to us when you got home?” Dimitri asked her.

“I didn’t know where you were, and you didn’t tell me if I was allowed to bother you or not, so I just came up here.”

“That makes sense,” Dimitri said, nodding his head.

“Something happened while we were out,” Kyle breathed quietly. The statement got Dimitri’s attention, and Kyle could tell that he was getting angry.

“I got mad, and I was rude to Sarah and Anatoli.” Kyle watched Dimitri for a reaction, but his facial expression didn’t change.

“What happened? I want you to tell me everything.”

Kyle spent time explaining to Dimitri about the lingerie issues, and when she was done, Dimitri was visibly angry.

She didn’t know if he was mad at her or Sarah and Anatoli; she just knew she didn’t want to be around him like this.

Dimitri walked over to Kyle and yanked her out of bed. Kyle was terrified. She didn’t know what to do. She kept quiet, hoping not to anger him more.

He dragged her out of the room and down the hallway into a place where Max and Anatoli were.

“What did she do?” Max asked, jumping up from his seat.

“It wasn’t her,” Dimitri seethed. “It was him.” He pointed to Anatoli.

“He saw her practically naked because Sarah forced her to show him what she was trying on.” Dimitri went on to explain to Max what Kyle had told him.

Max had the same reaction and was going to punch Anatoli.

“Stop!” Kyle screamed. “I only told you what happened so you wouldn’t think I misbehaved. I didn’t want anyone to get into trouble. He only came into the room because of Sarah.”

Max backed up and took Kyle’s face in his hand. “Did he make you feel uncomfortable?” he asked her.

“Yes, but so do you, and so does Dimitri. Everyone does. You’re all open about sex and your bodies, but I’m not. So, everyone makes me uncomfortable.

“As I said, I didn’t want to get in trouble for being rude.”

Max didn’t say anything, only kissed her. He was happy that Kyle was speaking more than a few words. This was the most she had talked to them since she got here, and he didn’t want to ruin that.

He wanted her to stay, and he knew to get her to stay, he had to make her more comfortable.
