“What exactly have you done?” Sadie wanted to know, then sighed when Amanda nudged her. “You know, if you want to tell us.”

“Well, we did a date-rape scene last Friday night,” Olivia put in, squirming in her seat at the memory. “That was hot. And we’ve done some somnophilia—"

“Is that like him fucking you when you’re asleep?” Rebecca wanted to know.

“Yes.” Sadie waved a hand at Rebecca without looking away from Olivia. “Hush.”

“And yesterday, when I got home from work, he jumped me in the entry way, dragged me up the stairs by my hair, tied me to the bed, and ate my pussy until I almost passed out.”

“Nice,” Sadie said.

“Are you just doing rape fantasy, or are you putting the consensual non-consent into other areas, too?” Sam wanted to know.

“What do you mean?” Rebecca asked, her forehead wrinkling in a frown. “CNC is rape fantasy, isn’t it?”

“That’s only one part of it,” Amanda explained.

“We’re focusing on that for now,” Olivia said. “But both Cade and I wanted a D/s element, and though we haven’t done any scenes that aren’t focused on the rape fantasy element yet, we set up safewords for that.”

“You don’t have a safeword for the CNC scenes?” Rebecca asked, her gray eyes wide.

“We do,” Olivia hastened to assure her. “Although some people don’t, because the whole point of CNC is to not have control.”

“How is that safe?”

Olivia shrugged. “Different strokes, right? But I wanted one, so we have one. Actually, we have two. But one of them is more like a false safeword.”

“A false safeword?” Sadie frowned.

Olivia nodded. “It hasn’t come up yet, but if we’re in a scene and I say ‘red’, that’s a safeword he can ignore.”

“What’s the point of a safeword you ignore?”

“Well, if you say ‘no’ in a scene, that can be ignored. It’s part of the role-play, right? That’s why nobody picks ‘no’ as a safeword.”

Sadie nodded. “Okay, I’m with you.”

“So making ‘red’ an ignorable safeword adds another layer to the CNC. But if I say ‘safeword’, that’s the stop button.”

“‘Safeword’ as a safeword,” Sam mused. “That’s kind of awesome.”

“Wait.” Rebecca held up a hand. “If you say ‘red’ in a public scene, you know that’s going to bring the DMs running.”

Amanda nodded. “That’s a good point.”

“Yeah, that’s a problem,” Olivia mused, then shrugged. “I don’t think we’d do a rape fantasy in public. It’s such a hard limit for most people, we wouldn’t want to inadvertently violate anyone else’s boundaries.”

“Smart,” Sam said.

Sadie leaned forward and picked up the half-empty bottle of wine from the coffee table. “What else do you have planned?”
