Body Rush Read Online Free Page B

she never would have believed it was possible for Roni to feel embarrassment. Suddenly Lydia wasn’t so sure she wanted to hear any more of Roni’s plan.
    “It’s not a fitness club.”
    Confused, Lydia asked, “What is it then?”
    “It’s a BDSM club.”
    The acronym meant nothing to her. “Huh?”
    “Bondage and submission.” Lydia was still confused so Roni explained further. “You know, masters and submissives, whips and masks.”
    Roni was into kinky sex games? How could she not have known about that? They’d been closer than friends for years. Hell, they were practically sisters. Roni was watching her, worry pulling at her brow. Lydia wasn’t sure what to say. “Oh, uh. Wow.”
    “It’s not so strange,” Roni grumbled. “Don’t look so horrified, damn it.”
    “I didn’t say it was strange. Just…shocking. I never knew you liked that sort of thing.”
    “Yeah, well, we aren’t sleeping together, so how could you know?”
    Lydia’s lips twitched. “Okay, you got me there. But, what does any of this have to do with me?”
    “I’d like to bring you there, as a guest.”
    Lydia knew she couldn’t have heard right. “Can you say that again?”
    “You and me at Kinks Friday night. Is that clear enough for you?”
    “Yep, that pretty much clears it up.” Lydia looked around the restaurant, wondering if anyone could read lips.
    Roni blinked several times before asking, “Then you’ll go?”
    Lydia’s gaze shot to hers. “Not on your life.”
    “So you don’t trust me, is that it? You think I’d take you someplace depraved, teaming with pervs?”
    “Of course not, it’s just that—”
    Roni pushed her plate away and sat back. “Be honest, Lydia, you think it’s weird.”
    Lydia didn’t want to hurt her friend, but she wasn’t about to be led into something she had no experience with either. “Uh, sort of, yeah.”
    “Come with me Friday night. Let me show you how wrong you are.”
    “What makes you think I’d ever say yes to this? I’m not into that sort of thing, Roni. I’m not judging you, but it’s not my scene.”
    “I’m not saying I know your sexual preferences, but I do know you need something to shake you out of this lull you’re in.” Roni looked her over, then said, “Besides, you might just surprise yourself.”
    Lydia shook her head. “Do I have to do anything? Like have sex or something?”
    Roni laughed. “Don’t be ridiculous. It’s not like that. There’s just music and a lot of people enjoying a common passion. I won’t lie to you, it can be shocking at first because you’ll see people doing various sexual things. But all you need to do is stick with me, observe and who knows, maybe you’ll meet someone.”
    “Various sexual things?””
    Roni bobbed her eyebrows. “Yeah, it’s sort of hot to watch.”
    “I can’t believe I’m actually considering this. What do I even wear?”
    Roni cocked her head to the side. “I think I have something that would fit you. A sexy skirt. We need to show off your assets a little.”
    Her clothes were her shield and she wasn’t comfortable losing it. “I’m really not sure about this, Roni.”
    “Your fantasy was to have sex with a stranger. This is a good opportunity to make that fantasy a reality.”
    “But bondage and submission? That’s a little out of my comfort zone. Hell, that’s a lot out of my comfort zone.”
    “How do you know if you’ve never tried it?” Lydia still hesitated, which prompted Roni to plead her case a little more. “Let me ask you this then: When you sleep with a man, do you prefer he take the lead or do you like to take the lead?”
    That one was easy; she’d always preferred the man to run the show. “I like it when he leads.”
    Roni nodded. “I thought as much, though I do think you have a bit of a dominatrix in you too.”
    Lydia couldn’t begin to wrap her mind around that little tidbit so she didn’t even try. “Your point is?”
    “Can you really tell me
