Shuttered Truth

Leona

I checked all the cameras that were in position to capture whatever transpired here tonight. I knew I was using the activity as a distraction from how nervous I was. I felt bad about disappearing without a word to the brothers and of course I felt bad because no matter how justified it was I'd taken someone else's life.

I'd spent a week alone in Germany sleeping when the nightmares allowed me to and reliving each moment of her death. Another death I felt was on my conscience, although I knew no-one blamed me for Fidelma's death, I did.

The three Dominants from the club had kept in touch with me during that period and I'd talked through my thinking with them. It had been Gary who'd first suggested using a punishment scene to help me, similar to how it had helped David. Naturally, the only Dominants I wanted to be involved with the actual scene were the Vincenzi brothers.

I'd flown back to Ireland three weeks ago and stayed with Jacinta and Linda. I'd taken intensive training sessions with all three submissives and then with each D/s couple. They'd helped me chose what I wanted to ask for tonight and what implements we were going to suggest and hopefully get the brothers to agree to using on me.

I could only hope I hadn't hurt them too much by walking away and our relationship was reparable.

I glanced at my reflection in the mirror that ran along one wall. After some deliberation, I'd gone with a design from a friend in the fashion world. It was a black velvet trouser jumpsuit with halter-neck. Throughout the velvet were silver threads in random patterns. The top was figure hugging with a plunge v that sank between my breasts. Around my neck I wore a narrow piece of black cord wrapped several times with a loose bow in the centre. My black hair hung around my shoulders in soft waves and my makeup was dark smoky eyes with deep red lips. My feet were bare and my toenails were painted the same shade as my lipstick at the end of wide leg trousers which hugged my hips and backside tightly. I wore nothing underneath partly because it fit so snugly but partly so that undressing during the scene would be swift. I'd never been naked in front of cameras before.

The clock struck 7pm and I jumped at the sharp knock on the playroom door that sounded loud in the silence of the room.

"Take your position, Leona," Mistress Jacinta said quietly as she crossed to the door, ready to let them in.

"Remember, we're here for you tonight," Master Weston rumbled.

"You all love one another and want the same thing...to have a relationship, just focus on that," Gary advised and I smiled at him. I so hoped he was right.

Linda, Jessica and David all stood to one side holding the implements we'd chosen and ready to assist as and when their Dominants required it. There was a loose script to begin with but once I was handed over to the Vincenzi brothers they would lead the session.

I stood in the centre of the room and took a deep breath. The door opened and Jacinta gestured for them to enter. My breath caught at the sight of them and I almost naturally sank to my knees at the sheer force of their presence.

They automatically lined up opposite me and when each of us made eye contact relief began to settle in. Their gazes were soft and tender if a little confused. Fionn even gave me a wink.

"Welcome Masters Vincenzi and thank you for accepting our invitation," Master Weston spoke in the rich deep timbre he had. "Since you don't seem surprised to see Leona here I'm assuming you noticed the clue on the invitation."

"Yes, Dónal figured it out," Ryan agreed. He looked serious but not uncomfortable and he kept looking back to me as Master Weston continued.

"Several weeks ago we were approached by Leona seeking help with resolving a particular problem she was facing. During some lengthy discussions we came to the conclusion that a session such as the one we are about to propose would be helpful."

"Leona has worked diligently with both our submissives and us in a training capacity to be ready for this session and so we hope you will agree to participate as her Dominants and thus provide what she feels she needs. We have assured Leona that the three of us will remain present during the session as monitors to keep everyone safe." Jacinta added.

"We will allow Leona to explain what she is requesting of you and while this is an unusual situation we all hope it will allow some healing to happen between the four of you and you can move forward, hopefully in a loving relationship," Gary approached me and pointed to the floor just in front of where they stood.

"Present yourself and your request to the Masters Vincenzi."

I took up a standing posture, feet shoulder width apart, with my arms folded at the elbow and lying across the small of my back. Until they agreed to participate I was allowed to maintain eye contact.

"Master Ryan, Master Dónal and Master Fionn, thank you for coming. To begin I'd like to apologise for the way I left Norway and you. I deeply regret it. My only explanation is that after the kidnapping was over I was overwhelmed with the need to see you and be with you. I felt that I couldn't continue to stand without you being with me and that need scared me. I've always been independent and self-reliant and so to feel that I needed you so much sent me into a tailspin and I ran. That is one of the infractions I am proposing I be punished for tonight. I am also hopeful that you will help me with the guilt I feel at the death of my good friend Fidelma Cusack, the peacekeeping soldier and the guilt I feel, although possibly irrational, at the part I played in the death of the woman calling herself Niamh. Please punish me for those in the hope it will cleanse me of that guilt and allow me to move on.

Linda, Jessica and David have the implements I am requesting you use. The Masters and Mistress felt that the number of strokes I was proposing was too harsh and so they suggested I leave that decision to you as they are sure you can be more objective and fair."

"Masters, are you willing to participate in the scene as described?" Master Weston asked and they looked to one another and then nodded in unison.

"Yes, we agree to participate."

"Very well, we hand her over to your care. Please advise her of how you would like to be addressed, what submissive position you would like her to assume and how many strokes you will be allocating for each punishment implement. Submissives, present the implements. Our submissives are at your disposal to assist and so feel free to address them directly for the duration of this session. Also, please ask us any questions you need to before you begin."

Linda, David and Jessica stepped forward, heads bowed and held out what we'd selected.

There was a set of floggers that stung, there was a narrow cane that left welts, there was a single tail whip that also left welts and there was a 6 foot long bull whip that would likely break skin. The three of them were frowning at our choices.

"Masters, Mistress, did you use these implements on her during training so that she understands what they feel like?" Fionn asked.

"No, Master Fionn. We used them on our submissives, she watched, saw the result, heard their reactions and spoke with them about what they felt like. She requested that all experiences new to her would be at your hands and we agreed," Master Gary explained.

The brothers conferred for a few moments and then took the implements and the submissives stepped away.

"Leona, choose a safe-word?" Master Ryan instructed.

"Shutter."

"Since this session has been formal so far, please address us as 'Sir'," Dónal said.

"The four implements you have chosen are rather severe and so to use all of them in one session, we have set a stroke count of ten for each, forty in total," Fionn advised and I opened my mouth to speak but he raised his hand.

"Be silent from now on except to use your safe-word, react to pain, count the strokes or answer a direct question, do you understand?"

"Yes Sir."

"Strip to naked," Ryan ordered.

I reached up to the halter-neck fastener and as I began to reveal my body Fionn moved too. He toed off his shoes and pulled his white t-shirt over his head revealing his gorgeous chest and impeccable abs. Dónal began to unbutton his shirt and pulled it free of his trousers so that it billowed around his bare chest which was equally mouth wateringly good.

As I stepped out of my trouser suit, folded it and placed it to one side, Ryan shrugged off the suit jacket, pulled loose his tie, opening buttons on his shirt revealing the dark hairs there and began to roll up the sleeves to his elbows. I longed to see more of Ryan's large body but I knew he rarely stripped much for a scene. I felt his gaze on me and then he pulled off his tie and opened more buttons on his shirt. He rolled the sleeves up to his elbows.

My heart swelled as they didn't allow me to be naked alone, even if they still wore clothes the gesture meant a lot.

"Resume the presentation posture you chose earlier," Fionn said and I complied.

"The default for your gaze will be on the floor unless one of us addresses you, then you make eye contact for the duration of the interaction, understood?" Dónal said and I looked at him.

"Yes Sir."

When he turned away I gazed at the floor again.

They conferred again and then they approached me. It took me all my time not to glance up or reach out. They circled me and I watched their feet come in and out of my line of sight. Bare feet was Fionn, black loafers was Ryan and brown loafers was Dónal. They began to come closer and then hands brushed my skin as they passed. Finally they stopped moving and stood in what seemed to be a triangle around me. Hands landed on my shoulders and I sighed as I relaxed into the touch.

I was turned to face Fionn.

"Bella," I raised my head and looked into his eyes, "thank you for explaining about why you left Norway the way you did. We can understand that being a strong, capable, independent woman needing us scared you because we need you in the same way and sometimes it scares us. We don't want you to change a single thing about yourself. We love you just the way you are."

He turned me towards Dónal.

"Little lioness," I looked up at Dónal and he smiled, "I gave you that name because you fight for what you think is right but also for what you need so thank you for fighting for us and our relationship. We love you for doing that."

He turned me to Ryan.

"Leona," I looked up and he cupped my face in his large hands, "we have agreed to this scene because you believe you need it and we'll always try to give you what you need but know this. We don't think you deserve to be punished. Fidelma would not want you to feel guilty because she did what she was trained to do and protected you. You are also not at fault for shooting a serial killer who was bent on killing you. Thank you for keeping yourself alive and coming back to us. We love you, more than we'll ever be able to show or tell you."

They closed in around me so that I could feel the heat from their bodies on my skin and see their arousal clearly in their trousers. My pussy ached to be full of them but that wouldn't happen until much later.

"I love you, Sirs," I whispered.

They stepped away and I felt the loss immediately but they didn't go far.

"Submissives please prepare Leona for her first punishment by securing her to the standing pole," Ryan addressed the subs.

They led me to a large pole that ran from the floor right up into the ceiling like a support pillar but was round and smooth to the touch. They secured my wrists with leather cuffs which left me hugging the pole with my head turned to one side. A rope secured my ankles both together and around the pole. A large leather belt was attached to the pole and wrapped around my back to protect the tender areas of kidneys and the like which were off limits for impact play. They each stroked my hair as they departed.

"Cry out as much as you need to, Bella. The room is sound proofed," Fionn came and stood behind me. He pressed his bare chest to my bare back and I shivered. He reached between me and the pole and kneaded my breasts.

"Is there anything you would like to say before we begin?"

"Please push my limits, Sirs. I truly need this to feel like a punishment so please don't go easy on me," I said and I meant every word. I desperately wanted to purge the guilt and I didn't know how else to do it so I was placing all my hope in this session.

"We'll begin with the floggers," Dónal said as he stroked my back and buttocks and then swept my hair over one shoulder so my upper back was clear.

He began swinging them, one in each hand and I could see them in my peripheral vision and feel the slight breeze they generated. He swung them in an upward motion so when they made contact they hit the underside of my bottom cheeks over and over.

Fionn was providing a slow count of time rather than strokes.

When we reached three Dónal changed direction and they landed on the upper part of my bottom cheeks in a downward motion.

For the next three count he swung them alternating to land on my upper back around the shoulder blades, right then left then right again.

By a ten count my skin was hot and stinging and my heart rate and breathing had increased.

Dónal stepped in behind me and reached around my lower body. His fingers slid across my, pussy lips and parted them. Finding me wet, he pressed on my clit. My knees buckled for a second and then I straightened as he began to rub circles over my clit. Surely having any orgasm wasn't part of the punishment but just as I was about to tip over he stopped. He kissed the back of my neck as he withdrew his hand and chuckled in my ear.

Fucking sadist...but I had asked them not to go easy and so this was their way.

"Give me a colour status, Leona," Ryan asked.

"Green Sir."

"You'll get the cane next. Ten strokes. Five from each side on the backs of your thighs. Count them aloud, Leona and thank me."

I felt the smooth exterior of the cane we'd chosen rubbing across my skin. He tapped it gently several times and rested it. Then I heard the whoosh and it landed and stung.

"One, thank you Sir."

He moved slightly downward with each stroke and I knew he would try to avoid crossing a previous impact site.

"Two, thank you Sir."

"Three, thank you Sir."

"Four, thank you Sir."

"Five, thank you Sir."

I was a little breathless with the sting of each stroke and the pitch of my voice was rising with each one. He moved to the other side and again tapped the cane and then rested it.

"Aaah...six, thank you Sir."

I rested my forehead against the pole and shook my ass cheeks slightly.

"Ow...seven, thank you Sir."

"Ah fuck..." my knees bent at the sting and I pulled against my wrist restraints.

"Give me a count or your safe-word, Leona," Ryan barked.

"Eight...thank you Sir."

I squealed at the next one as Ryan definitely wasn't holding back.

"Nine," I sucked in a breath, "thank you Sir."

"Christ that hurts," I blurted as the tenth stroke landed.

Ryan crowded in behind me, his mouth at my cheek, kissing it. His hands roving gently over my abused skin.

"You took them so well. Are you okay to go on?"

"Yes, please Sir."

His hand began to head for my pussy and I tried to close my thighs against his touch knowing he wouldn't allow me release. It was almost worse than the sting and heat of the strokes.

"Behave. Take your punishment," he admonished and I stopped avoiding him. His large hand cupped my pussy and then his thumb found my clit and I almost jumped out of my skin. It was so sensitive and so close to shooting off. He didn't press it though but rather sank one large finger into my wet pussy and began pumping it. I began to pant and rotate my hips but just like before seconds from relief and release he stopped. He kissed the back of my head as he stroked my hair and then stepped away.

"Submissives, please move her to free standing with wrists secured above her head via the hoist," Fionn instructed and they came and released me from the pole. They led me back to the centre of the room and then clipped the wrist cuffs together and into a hook that hung down from a large chain. It was attached to the hoist in the ceiling and David went and began retracting it until my arms were stretched high above my head but my feet were still flat on the floor.

"Turn facing me, Bella," Fionn instructed and when I did I saw he had the single tail whip ready for use.

"You'll get two on each breast and six on the front of your thighs. Tilt your head back."

He snapped the whip a few times in my direction, gauging where he needed to be to make contact. Then he paused and swung. The crack of the whip filled the room before the searing sting sprang to life on the underside of my right breast. It punched the breath out of my lungs on a cry and I turned away, hunching my shoulders as if I could protect myself.

"Settle or use your safe-word," he barked and I turned back to him. I was more prepared for the next few but by the time he was done with my breasts I was panting.

"Amber Sir."

Fionn approached and wrapped his arm around my midriff, lifting me slightly so that the stretch in my arms was eased.

"You're doing so well but don't push too far, sweetheart," he pressed his lips to my temple and held me there for a few minutes.

"Give me a status colour."

"Green Sir, thank you."

He moved back and I prepared for the six. Three to each thigh. As expected they stung like the blazes and I couldn't prevent myself from turning away after each land. Each time I did that he waited and then in a deep commanding voice I'd come to love, said.

"Settle, Bella."

As we came to the end of that section I was crying freely. The three brothers came over to me and Ryan signalled for David to lower my arms. Dónal slid his arm beneath mine and supported me.

"Are you getting what you need, Leona?" Ryan asked.

"Yes Sir, thank you."

"What's your status colour?" Fionn followed up.

"Amber Sir. May I ask a question please?"

"Of course."

"Where on my body will the bullwhip impact?"

Fionn pressed his hand on my abdomen.

"We'll try to keep it to this area if at all possible. You can stop now, though, Bella."

"I'd like to try. I may not manage the full ten but..."

"Okay. You're ankles are going to be restrained so that you can't turn as aim is important with this whip."

"Submissives, secure her ankles and hoist her arms again, please," Fionn instructed and I was put into the right position.

"You're going to give a colour status after each lash, Leona or your safe word if you need to stop completely, do you understand?"

"Yes Sir."

Fionn stood in front of me and allowed the bullwhip to drop to the floor. He swung it around himself to ensure it didn't tangle in anything but the room was designed to accommodate it.

"Ready?"

"Yes Sir."

He swung the whip and it flew at me cracking loudly and then I felt the sting. It was like nothing I'd ever experienced and I yelled, trying to turn or bring up my legs but I couldn't.

Fionn handed the whip to Dónal.

"Status, little lioness," he asked.

"Green Sir."

He swung, it cracked and landed. I yelled again and began to cry. I wasn't sure if I could even get to five, let alone ten.

Dónal handed the whip to Ryan.

He waited for me to settle again and then asked and I gave him green.

He swung the whip and a length of it wrapped around my body but the sting came from where the tip landed. Again I yelled and cried.

I got to six strokes and by that one I was hanging heavily from the wrist cuffs, my legs not really able to support me any longer. Before anyone asked me I lifted my head, tears streaming down my face.

"Shutter."

There was a flurry of activity as the other submissives moved in to release me from the cuffs but it was into the waiting arms of my Dominants that I collapsed.

"Everything you need for aftercare is in the bedroom of her apartment," Master Weston told them as he opened the door so that Ryan could carry me out already wrapped in the softest blanket I'd ever felt.

"Thank you all. I feel so much better now."

I fought to stay conscious as they carried me through the club and up to my apartment and into my bedroom. Ryan laid me gently onto the bed and Dónal and Fionn gathered around.

"I love you all so much," I whispered, my eyelids dropping.

"We love you too." Ryan assured, stroking my hair back from my face.

"Let go, Bella," Fionn touched my bare foot.

"Sweetheart, you're safe with us," Dónal pressed a light kiss to my lips.

I smiled and allowed the darkness to take me because I knew I had always been and would always be safe with 'my Vincenzi brothers'.

I had no sense of time when I next woke but I knew I was warm and surrounded by my men. I lay on my front and when I turned my head I realised I was lying on Ryan's body with my head on his chest. Dónal lay to my right and Fionn to my left on their sides facing inward. They were all sleeping soundly. Ryan's arms were around my upper back, Dónal's arm lay across my lower back and one of Fionn's legs was hooked around mine. There was no way I could move with disturbing them. My body was tender in places but I could smell lavender and see the Aloe Vera gel on the nightstand. A shaft of light cast a ray across the bedroom through a gap in the curtain and it looked like sunrise. I took a deep breath because the need to have them fill my pussy was growing by the second. I pressed soft kisses to Ryan's chest and he purred in his sleep and his shaft began to grow until it was nestled between my thighs. I pressed them together and moved my hips up and down stroking Ryan but also stroking my pussy at the same time. Ryan's arms tightened around me and his hips bucked slightly.

"If you keep that up, lovely Leona, I'll come all over your butt cheeks," Ryan grumbled and I raised my head and looked up at him. He grinned and I realised I'd never seen him do that so freely before.

"I need you to be inside me..." I stated plainly and he cupped my face with his hands and lowered his head to kiss me. He reached past Dónal's arm and grasped my butt cheeks.

"Are you sure you're ready for me, sweetheart? I don't want to hurt you."

I was slick down there, I knew that and I didn't care if he hurt me initially because it would go away once my body adjusted.

I nodded, biting my bottom lip.

He pulled me up along his body a little and then with one hand he found the tip of his shaft and bent it in the right direction. I felt him rub it along my labia, coating it in my juices. He pressed it to my entrance and then stopped.

"Condom...we need a condom," he groaned and I smiled.

"I'm on birth control and before you three I hadn't had sex in a long time. We're safe."

Hi sighed and pressed a kiss to my forehead. He pressed inside and my muscles stretched and burned a little. He rolled his hips, rocking himself gently in and out, going a little deeper each time.

"Please Ryan, Sir, just fuck me. I need you....now."

Without another word he gave me what I wanted and thrust into me in one long stroke that took my breath away. I buried my head into his chest to muffle my cry of pain pleasure. Once he'd begun he wasn't going to stop and I didn't want him to. His hips worked like pistons and my clit rubbed deliciously against him. My fingers dug into his chest muscles and I knew I must be marking him with my nails.

"Don't stop...please don't stop..." I hissed desperately needing release that was just beyond me.

A hand slid between my body and Ryan's and Fionn pinched my nipples while Dónal began to trail kisses along my spine.

"Look at our Bella lioness taking all of Ryan's big monster cock in her sweet tight pussy," Fionn crooned in my ear as he nipped it with his teeth. My muscles clenched and I squeezed Ryan's shaft trying to keep it inside as he pulled out and plunged back in again and again. I threw my head back and screamed out my release, the orgasm one of the most earth moving I'd ever experienced.

Ryan kept up his pace and pounded into me until another orgasm rolled through my body and twitched and shook through the after-shocks. I slumped into Ryan's chest as he pulsed his cum inside me, coating my internal channel.

When he slid out I instantly felt the loss and looked to Fionn. He and Dónal lifted me off Ryan and he made room for them to lay me out on my back. Dónal moved his big body between my legs and gazed down into my eyes.

"You ready for more, lioness?" he asked as he coated the tip of his shaft in a combination of my juices and Ryan's cum.

"Yes, please, fill me up until I'm overflowing."

Dónal pressed my legs back towards my body, exposing my pussy to their gazes and I watched with fascination as he slid inside. It was still tight but the extra lubrication helped ease his way. He sank slowly up to his balls and then held himself there. I tried to encourage him to move but he just pressed harder on my thighs to keep me in place.

"Let me enjoy the feel of you..." he ordered and so I lay back and allowed him to wallow.

"Dónal, please...fuck me," I shouted and he laughed, slapping my outer thigh.

"So needy..." he said with a grin but he gave me what I wanted and began thrusting relentlessly. Fionn turned my head towards him and I opened my mouth for him to slide his shaft inside. I sucked and licked him but he didn't push beyond what I was ok to give.

"I want to come in your pussy, Bella," he announced and I nodded my agreement just as another orgasm hit and I hummed around him causing him to groan loudly. When Dónal came he grunted and bucked into me. He fell onto my body, giving me his entire weight and I wrapped my arms and legs around his broad back and buttocks as much as I was able.

"You're so fucking gorgeous like this, little lioness."

He crawled back away from me and I turned back to Fionn.

"You sure you're not too sore, Bella?" he asked and I shook my head.

"On all fours then."

I rolled over and came up on all fours and looked over my shoulder at Fionn. He parted my butt cheeks with his hands and pressed his thumb against the entrance there. The forbidden entrance, the back door as it were.

"Someday soon one of us is going to take you here so that you can have all three of us inside you at one time," he proclaimed.

"But not now..." I said softly and he nodded.

He slid into my pussy easily and with no real resistance. His hand stroked my back and then he pressed hard on my upper body so I let it sink onto the bed. He reached for my wrists and folded my arms across the small of my back, restraining them there with one large hand. He slapped my hip, a place where I hadn't taken any punishment and then pulled me up off the bed by my arms as he began to pump into me in a fast but steady rhythm. He cupped his free hand over my mouth and instantly my pussy clenched and he growled. He pulled my head back almost beyond what was ok and I cried out against his palm. He used his grip as leverage against the punishing thrusts he used to fill me up. My thighs began to shake as the pressure inside built and built. I crashed over the precipice of my orgasm with grunts and squeals but he kept going.

"Give us another, Bella, we know you can."

Ryan and Dónal appeared either side of me and Fionn released my mouth so that Ryan could plunder it with his. Dónal lay down and found my clit and began to rub it. It was so sensitive and that weird pain pleasure thing began to happen again until I was a quivering whimpering wreck.

My breast swung freely as Fionn continued his onslaught. My heart rate was through the roof and I began to see stars as I gasped for air.

"Come again for us, Leona," Ryan ordered in his Dom voice and my body obeyed. I felt the beginning of Fionn coming inside me and then it went black.

When I came around I was lying on my side with Dónal facing me and Fionn spooning me from behind while Ryan used a warm washcloth to clean me up down below.

"Welcome back, beautiful," Ryan said with a chuckle and leaned down to kiss me.

"I've heard about the idea of being fucked into oblivion but I didn't think it was truly possible," I said and turned to sit up. I drew my knees up to my chest and wrapped my arms around my shins. My men frowned at me and I laughed.

"My men?" I asked and they became instantly serious.

"Your men, now and always," Ryan confirmed.

"Our woman," Fionn put on a caveman voice and beat his own chest and I laughed.

"So we're really going to try for a long term relationship together. All four of us? You want to share me forever?"

"If that's what you want too," Dónal tucked my hair behind my ear and I shivered.

"Yes, please."

They came up onto their knees and formed a wall of man around me. I'd never felt more safe, secure and turned on in my entire life. They pressed in so their bodies made contact with mine.

"Marry us, Leona," Ryan proposed, his chest hard against my back. I laid my head onto his shoulder and he looked down on me.

"It would make me the happiest woman alive to marry you all. Our truth might have been shuttered away for a little while but now it can see the light of day, flourish and grow."
