Manties in a Twist

(The Subs Club 03)
by

J.A. Rock

Look, I’ll never stop missing Hal, but this Subs Club my friends started to review suck-ass doms isn’t gonna bring him back or give him justice. For me, it’s just another chance to hang out with my friends, even if they think I’m too dumb to understand the important work we’re supposedly doing.

But maybe I’m not as dumb as they think—at least I know when I’ve got a good thing going. Which is why I just moved in with my dom. Ryan’s awesome possum. He’s really short, never makes me feel stupid, and is up for anything. One word: costumes. Two more words: women’s underwear. We’re all about the lace, no leather.

Except when we do pony play. We first tried it as a joke, but turns out I’m ballin’ at it. Now PetPlayFest is coming up, and I wanna take down the Subs Club’s archrival, Cinnamon the ponygirl, in the horse show.

My friends think I’m spending too much time with Ryan and ignoring my obligations to the group. But since when is friendship an obligation? Ryan’s my first serious relationship, and I want to take it . . . seriously. At some point I need to think about my future, not my past.

J.A. Rock - The Subs Club series

About the Subs Club series

After the death of their friend Hal at the hands of an irresponsible dom, submissive friends Dave, Kamen, Miles, and Gould band together to form the Subs Club—an organization seeking to expose dangerous local doms. The club slowly evolves as romances blossom, loyalties are tested, and tensions mount in a community already struggling for unity in the wake of Hal’s death.

From domestic discipline to knife play to fashion paraphilia, and from family drama to new jobs to first loves, the members of the Subs Club explore life’s kinks inside and outside of the bedroom as they attempt to let go of the past and move forward.

Excerpt

“How about we take our pants off instead?” Ryan was already unzipping his jeans.

I groaned and undid mine too. Slid them down and stepped out of them. “This feels sooo much better.”

“Your boxers have a hole in the back.”

I glanced down over my shoulder. “That’s on purpose. It’s my easy-access hole.” I stripped off my shirt too, because it was hot as balls. I rubbed the hair on my stomach to make it fuzz up.

He walked behind me and put his arms around me. His chin didn’t even reach my shoulder, and his tiny hands laced over my abs. He was a friggin’ adorable doll who’d come to life, and nothing was going to stop me from thinking that, even if I didn’t say it out loud.

His size had taken a little getting used to. I was six two and still had my jock muscles from high school. I’d tried a million times to explain to Ryan how much I loved his tininess, but he was sensitive about it, so it was hard to find ways of, like, expressing my enthusiasm that didn’t sound insulting. For instance, I’d learned not to say, “It’s like when you have a Chihuahua and you’re always afraid you’re gonna accidentally sit on it.” Which I’d meant as a compliment, because Chihuahuas are cute as fuck and tough little assholes, but Ryan had kind of been like, “Hey, bend over and we’ll see if you feel like sitting on anything ever again.”

So I kept my admiration secret. I loved that he looked sort of frail, like those ghost kids in The Others who can’t go into the sunlight, but was actually so fierce that he surprised me sometimes with his strength. I loved that I submitted to him even though he couldn’t have physically overpowered me. I felt like his fucking dragon on a chain. I’d do anything he told me, but also I’d murder anyone who tried to hurt him.

He kissed my shoulder. “Let’s pass out on the couch for a while, then I’ll access your hole.”

He was all romantic-as-tits like that. I put my hands over his and squeezed. “Love you.”

I’d said “I love you” to him for the first time a couple of weeks ago, and he’d said it back like it was no big thing. My friends all made this huge deal out of When’s too soon to say that shit? But I didn’t care. I didn’t think you had to wait a certain amount of time to love somebody. You could love him right away and then change your mind later if he turned out to be a dick. And if you knew you loved him, why not tell him?

“Love you too.” He hip-bumped me toward the living room. We waddled side by side, heading for the couch.

He stopped. “Oh shit. Look.”

I turned to him, then glanced at the floor where he was looking.

There was a pair of red lace panties on the carpet, a dryer sheet clinging to them.

“Huh.” I wasn’t sure what to do.

He poked them with his toe. “Amanda must have dropped them.”

“We can give them back to her at the housewarming thing.”

We stared at the panties. I didn’t know much about girls’ underwear, but these looked nice. Deep red and not too frilly, and the patterns in the lace were, like, intricate. I got a little hypnotized by them, and my stomach tightened, which was either something to do with sexual feelings or with a whole package of Chips Ahoy.

Ryan reached down and grabbed them. “I’ll just . . .”

I didn’t want him to take them away yet. “Are those Victoria’s Secret or something?”

“Uh . . .” He checked the label. “I don’t know. They’re like a French name?”

“Can I touch them?”

He looked at me like maybe I had a guy-with-the-lotion-in-Silence-of-the-Lambs past I wasn’t telling him about. “You want to touch my friend’s panties?”

“You’re touching them right now,” I pointed out.

He handed them to me.

“They’re big.” I stretched them between my fingers.

I kept waiting for Ryan to be like, Seriously, enough perving on my friend’s panties. But he was just gazing at the red lace in my hands like he was under some kind of spell too. “Those would look hot on you.”

I jolted. Hot on me?

That was . . . I didn’t . . . I wasn’t . . . These weren’t even . . .

We stared at each other for a moment, and then it was like an eighties power ballad started to play, and suddenly my boxers were off and I was pulling on the panties. And Ryan was on his knees all, like, making me turn around for him and squeezing the parts of my ass that were hanging out the back of the lace. And then he pulled my dick over the waistband and put it in his mouth, and that’s all I remember.

We woke two hours later on the floor, disoriented and covered in jizz.

Ryan lifted his head. “What happened?”

I looked at my dick, on which hung the shredded remains of the red lace panties. “Either an angry hamster was in these panties . . .”

“Or you looked so hot in them I tried to tear them off you so I could get more of your dick down my throat.”

We made eye contact, and I swallowed.

“I think it was the second one.”

He nodded. “Me too.”

“It was so fucking hot.”

“The way you look in them—”

“And the way they feel . . .”

He rose onto his knees. Crawled over and straddled me. “I want you to get a pair.”

I grinned and sat up. “Seriously?”

He nodded and splayed a hand on my chest, pushing me back down. “I want you to wear them a lot.”

“Fuck, yes.”

“I want you to wear an actual dress.”

“Uh, okay.”

He tugged my chest hair and leaned down to kiss across my collarbone. “And I want you to wear the panties underneath the dress.”

“Yeah?” He was blowing my mind.

“Yeah.” He ran his hand over my crotch. “And then I want to lift your skirt up and pull your panties down.”

I tilted my head back, panting. I was gonna come just thinking about this. “Yes.”

“Then I want to stick my fingers in your cunt.”

We both froze.

I lifted my head and stared at him. He stared back.

I frowned. “I, uh . . . don’t have . . .”

His face turned pink. “I know. I just got carried away.”

“You shouldn’t use that word.”

“I know. Can we just drop it?”

I didn’t say anything else. Just let him pull me up and spin me around and push me against the ottoman. I folded my arms and rested my chin on them as he ran his hands up and down my back. All I could think about now was panties. And dresses. And . . .

“Then I want to stick my fingers in your—”

“Tonight,” he whispered, kissing the back of my neck and pressing his dick against my ass, “we’re gonna go shopping.”

I had a feeling he didn’t mean for curtains.

Review: I’ve read many J.A. Rock books and I have to say this series is definitely her best writing yet. I’m not sure whether she found her true calling or maybe the characters won’t stop nagging her until she tells their stories, but these books seem to me like they’re written from the heart.

Kamen has been one of my favorite characters in this series and I found his hilarious and original songs to be a constant source of amusement. Kamen has been the easy-going one, the least smart, and the one his friends counted on no matter what.

Kamen seemed like a pretty simple character so far, sort of “what you see is what you get”, but we all know still waters run deep. That couldn’t be any more accurate when it comes to Kamen. Kamen has the biggest heart of all, he loves his friends, loves his mother, he loves Ryan, and he wants nothing more than for everyone to get along and be like a big happy family.

We know from Pain Slut that Kamen and Ryan are going to be together, but I never expected the tension their relationship brought to Kamen and David’s friendship. There’s jealousy and hurt feelings, and Kamen’s heart is broken along with mine, because Kamen should NEVER be anything but happy.

Ryan and Kamen’s relationship is very different from the previous two couples’; this isn’t so much the case of I’m the Dom, you’re the sub, drop your trousers so I can stripe your ass. Kamen and Ryan are more about lace panties and sexy dresses, scorching hot role play and even some pony games. They have their own brand of kink very different from what we’ve gotten so far, which is absolutely great!

I really loved Kamen’s honest, hilarious and very much real reactions to seeing himself in women’s lace panties. What I found absolutely fantastic was that I totally forgot Kamen isn’t a real person! I mean I had to remind myself over and over again that Rock has written this character and this isn’t a story told by a real-life character, and trust me when I say this doesn’t happen to me often!

While I liked Ryan and Kamen as a couple, I wasn’t too sure of my feelings for Ryan as an individual. I thought he was too possessive of Kamen and he never truly tried to understand and become a part of the friendship with the rest of the guys.

But at the same time all this conflict allowed us to see just how many layers Kamen has, how mature his thinking is regarding their friend’s death, what his hopes and desires and dreams are regarding the future, and how deeply and completely he loves Ryan. I loved Kamen to pieces, but at times I wished someone else for him, someone other than Ryan.

This was a great book, fantastic even, but not exactly what I expected to get considering this is Kamen’s book. He has been the funniest and the quirkiest of them all, so I expected more genuine humor. There was certainly moments that were funny.

I thought there was too much focus on the pony competition. I understood the reason behind Kamen’s motivation, but it wasn’t something I could connect with. And the competition itself was leaning more towards ridiculous than real, with eye rolling moments and incredulous WTF moments as well.

This was a great book but my least favorite so far; my favorite book remains David and D’s book.
