Corbin accepted the card. “I’ll take the card, but I won’t be calling. I’m serious about Josh, the forever kind of serious.”
“Until there’s a ring on your finger, there’s always hope.” Sterling smiled again.
Corbin held out his hand. “Corbin Richters, by the way. You know, I’m not available, but I have plenty of cousins in town who are looking for someone special. Maybe I could hook you up with one of them.”
“I’ll think on it. It was nice meeting you, Corbin. I’ll let you get back to your coffee.”
Corbin nodded and watched Sterling walk away. A shadow fell across the table and he looked up. Josh had a territorial look on his face, his eyes tracking Sterling’s movement.
“I got the items you sent me to buy,” Josh said, sliding into the seat across from him. His gaze settled on Corbin. “What did he want?”
“He asked me out. I told him I was in a committed relationship and wasn’t interested.”
“I saw him hand you a card.”
“I told him I could hook him up with one of my cousins if he was interested. He said he’d think about it.” Corbin’s lips tipped up on one corner. “I promise there wasn’t anything going on between the two of us. It was a simple conversation and I sent him on his way. You’re the only man I want in my life. I thought I proved that on Christmas Eve.”
Josh blew out a breath. “All right. Sorry I got jealous.”
“You know I love you, right?”
Josh shrugged. “You’ve never said it. I mean, I guess you show me in little ways every day, but this is the first time you’ve said the words.”
“Well, I’m saying it now. I love you, Josh. You and only you.”
Josh got a goofy grin on his face. “I love you, too.”
“What do you say we go celebrate by taking those toys home and having some fun?”
Josh stood. “That’s the best idea I’ve heard all day. Maybe all month.”
“Wait. There’s one thing you need to do first.”
“Anything,” Josh said.
Corbin smiled at his enthusiasm. “I want you to take the sack of items you just purchased and go to the restroom. When you’re in there, I want you to take out the butt plug and lube. Insert it and come back out.”
Josh made a half-whimper half-moan. “You want me to wear it home?”
“Yes. Is that a problem?”
“No, Sir.”
Josh picked up the sack and disappeared through the door that said Restrooms. When he reappeared, Corbin could tell from his gait that he had followed instructions.
“That’s to make sure you’re ready for whatever may come tonight,” Corbin said.
“I hope it’s me,” Josh said with a wicked smile.
Corbin laughed and followed his mate out the door. He hoped Josh still showed that same enthusiasm once he had him tied up and at his mercy. Oh yeah, it was going to be one long, fantastic night. He was going to love his mate in every way possible, all night long.
Chapter Eight
Josh reclined in the large tub while Corbin took a quick shower. The dragon wanted his mate to be relaxed when they went to the playroom. Josh had practically vibrated the entire way home, he’d been so excited. Corbin only hoped he lived up to his mate’s expectations. It was a lot of pressure, being the one to introduce him to BDSM. If he didn’t do things just right, it could turn Josh off the lifestyle forever. And since they would be together for the rest of their lives, which could be hundreds of years that would truly suck.
Corbin got out and dried off, pausing long enough to admire his mate. Josh had his eyes closed and headphones on. He’d give him a little longer while he set things up for the evening. No sense rushing Josh. Corbin wanted this to be a memorable night for him, and if that meant he had to take his time, then that’s what he would do.
In the playroom, he pulled out the flogger he knew he wanted to use. The deer hide would be soft against Josh’s skin, since he’d never been flogged before. The aqua and black colors would contrast nicely with his mate’s fair skin. He bypassed the cat-o-nine, knowing Josh wasn’t ready for that yet. Perusing the toy cabinet, he pulled out the reindeer fur-lined cuffs. They would be nice and soft against Josh’s skin and get him used to being restrained. The cock sleeve, cock ring, and anal beads Josh had purchased earlier had been cleaned and placed inside the cabinet. Corbin pulled them out, not sure what he would need tonight. Then he pulled out the star toy of the evening, the P-spot vibrator. He had a feeling it was going to make his mate go wild.
Corbin grabbed some lube and then set everything up before going to get Josh. At first, he thought his mate was asleep. Then he realized Josh was softly humming along with whatever song he was listening to. Pulling the headphones away from his ears, Corbin set them on the floor beside the tub. He smoothed his hand through Josh’s hair, waiting for his mate to open his eyes.
“Are you ready?” Corbin asked.
Josh’s eyes opened and he smiled. “I’ve just been waiting for you. Not that this tub doesn’t feel great. I wanted to turn on the jets, but I was afraid it would relax me so much I’d go to sleep. And I don’t want to miss a moment of what’s going to happen tonight.”
Corbin held out a towel. “Let’s get you dried off.”
Josh’s gaze caressed him from head to toe. “I thought Dom’s wore leather.”
“I want easy access to you tonight.” He smiled. “Don’t worry. I have plenty of leather that I can wear another time. Tonight I want to feel your skin against mine. And I plan to fuck you more than once.”
Josh trembled in his arms as Corbin wrapped the towel around him, briskly drying him.
“I can dry myself,” Josh said.
“Tonight is about me caring for you. If I wanted you to dry yourself, I’d have told you to dry off. Are you going to question everything I do tonight? Because that isn’t how this works.”
Josh ducked his head. “No, Sir.”
Corbin fought a smile. It was harder for Josh to be submissive than his mate had thought it would be. But that’s what Corbin loved about him. He was strong and fearless in the line of duty, was a passionate lover, and he could think for himself. The only way Josh was going to submit to Corbin was if he wanted to. If he didn’t truly want it, Corbin knew he’d never get him to bend to his will, never give in. The fact that he was willing to try, made him love him even more.
“Before we go any further, I need a safe word from you.”
Josh smiled. “Dragon.”
“Remove the butt plug,” Corbin said. “Then go to the playroom, Sub.”
“Yes, Sir.”
Corbin watched as Josh removed the butt plug, set it beside the sink, and walked out of the room. Corbin followed his mate to the playroom and shut the door. Josh stood uncertainly in the middle of the room, looking around at everything. His eyes lit on the flogger and he looked at Corbin questioningly.
“It’s a soft one. I made sure it was recommended for beginners.”
“I don’t see a paddle. I thought we were going to use the spanking bench.”
Corbin arched a brow and Josh dropped his head.
“Sorry, Sir,” he said softly.
“I owe you several swats from the past few weeks, don’t I, Sub? Why don’t we get your punishment out of the way so we can have some fun? I’m assuming you know how the spanking bench is used since you said you went to a club and also watched videos.”
“Yes, Sir.”
Corbin lifted the reindeer fur-lined cuffs. “Hold out your hands, Sub.”
Josh stuck out his hands, palms down. Corbin buckled the cuffs into place, effectively chaining his mate’s hands together.
“Get into position, Sub.”
“Yes, Sir.”
Josh walked over to the spanking bench, sank to his knees on the padded surface and leaned over the bench part, his ass in the air. The sight heated Corbin’s blood and made his cock hard. It would be oh so easy to fuck his mate while he was in that posit
ion, but now wasn’t the time. Corbin went to the toy cabinet and looked over his selection of paddles. He picked up the dual textured paddle that was trimmed in leather, but had a padded section down the middle. The leather would give a bit of a sting, but the padded portion would keep him from hurting his mate too much during their first session. Each time they played, Corbin would escalate things a little until he no longer had to hold back.
He returned to the spanking bench and his waiting Sub and braced his feet apart. “Are you ready for your punishment, Sub?”
“Yes, Sir.” Josh’s voice was muffled as he’d pressed his face against the leather.
“I want you to count them out. I’m going to go easy on you tonight and only give you ten swats. Do you understand?”
“Yes, Sir.”
Without any warning, Corbin administered the first strike, right across Josh’s left ass cheek. His mate yelped, probably more from surprise than pain. Corbin had held himself back and not struck his mate very hard.
“One, Sir.”
Another swat, this one on the right ass cheek.
“Two, Sir.”
By the time Corbin reached ten, Josh’s ass had pinked up nicely. He would imagine his mate’s ass was on fire at the moment, but it would be a good burn. Corbin would even be willing to bet Josh’s cock was hard as a rock about now.
“You may stand,” Corbin said.
Josh rose from the spanking bench and awaited further orders, his cock standing erect and ready for whatever came next. Corbin nearly smiled at the eager expression in his mate’s eyes.
“I changed my mind, Sub. Back over to the spanking bench.”
Josh winced for a moment. “Yes, Sir.”
Corbin chuckled. Little did his mate realize, he had no intention of spanking him anymore. At least, not tonight. No, he had other things in mind for his Sub. Corbin picked up the anal beads and the lube. Coating each ball, he slowly inserted them. Josh moaned as the balls got larger, but he didn’t say his safe word. When he was finished, Corbin slightly swatted his mate on the ass.
“Stand up, Sub.”
“Yes, Sir.”
Josh rose to his feet and faced Corbin. The dragon watched him intently, trying to gage his emotions. When he was certain his mate was fine and enjoying himself, he was ready to continue. Without another word, he unbuckled the cuffs and set them aside. He nodded to the St. Andrew’s Cross.
“Walk over there, Sub.”
“Yes, Sir.”
Josh approached the cross, but stopped uncertainly in front of it. Corbin turned him so that his back faced the cross and shackled his wrists to top of the cross, arms spread wide. Next, he bent down and fastened Josh’s ankles to the bottom of the X. Now that his mate was spread eagle, Corbin knew just what he was going to use next.
He picked up the cock ring and approached his mate. Josh’s eyes were glued to the toy in his hand, but his Sub remained quiet. Corbin held it up for his Sub to get a good look at it before he attached it to Josh’s cock. He didn’t want him to erupt before Corbin said he could. Not that the dragon thought his mate would be able to control his orgasm their first time experimenting, but over time he would learn.
“You don’t get to come unless I say you can,” Corbin said. “Understood?”
“Yes, Sir.”
Corbin stepped back and picked up the flogger. He made sure his distance would ensure only the tips of the flogger would hit Josh’s chest and abdomen, then he let fly the first stroke. It slapped against his mate’s skin. He could see from the look in Josh’s eyes that he was surprised and more than a little turned on. Corbin kept his touch light, his wrist rotating with each strike as he struck Josh again and again. There was a slight pink tinge to his mate’s skin when he decided it was enough for the night.
Pre-cum was dripping from Josh’s cock, running down the shaft and onto his balls. Corbin released him from the restraints and contemplated what to do next. A glance at the bondage bed gave him his answer. It also meant their play was going to come to an end possibly sooner than he was ready for, but he wasn’t sure how much longer he would last without fucking his mate.
“Lie on the bed on your back. Spread your arms and legs.”
“Yes, Sir.”
He watched as his mate complied. Then Corbin picked up the cock sleeve and the lube and approached the bed. He wouldn’t use it just yet. Corbin wanted to see how far he could push Josh before his mate came. Would he be able to control his orgasm enough to wait until Corbin was finished and ready for the next part of their play? Only one way to find out.
Corbin fastened Josh’s ankles and wrists to the bed with the padded restraints. He gave his mate’s cock a long stroke, earning him a moan and bucking of Josh’s hips, and then he stepped back. Corbin grabbed the lube and cock sleeve and placed them on the bed before he crawled onto his knees between Josh’s splayed legs.
“Do you want me, Sub? Are you ready for me?”
“Yes, Sir.” The fire in Josh’s eyes was nearly enough to make Corbin’s cock explode. “I’ve never wanted anything more.”
Corbin lubed his cock and eased the anal beads out of Josh, tossing them to the side when the last one popped free. The restraints gave Josh just enough room to move so that Corbin was able to set his mate’s feet up on the bed so his knees were bent. As he sank into his mate’s tight channel, he groaned in both relief and pain. It felt so damn good, but Josh was squeezing him tight enough that he worried his cock might not survive the torture. From the look in his mate’s eyes, Josh knew exactly what he was doing. Corbin knew he should reprimand him, but it just felt too incredible.
Corbin pulled back his hips before plunging inside again, bracing his weight on his hands. He looked down into Josh’s eyes and saw the love shining there, love and acceptance. His mate wanted this, needed this, every bit as much as he did. Corbin fucked Josh harder, faster. From the amount of pre-cum seeping from his mate’s cock, he knew Josh was close.
“Don’t you dare come, Sub. Do you hear me?”
“Yes, Sir.”
Corbin leaned down and kissed Josh hard as he thrust inside of him one last time, coming harder than he ever had before. When he withdrew from his mate, he was happy to see that Josh had followed orders. His cock was still hard and erect.
“I think you deserve a reward, Sub.”
Corbin removed the cock ring and set it aside. He leaned forward and took Josh in his mouth, licking him clean before withdrawing again. Josh’s hips arched off the bed, seeking more. With a smile, Corbin picked up the cock sleeve and lubed both it and Josh’s cock. Fitting the sleeve over the hard cock in front of him, Corbin slowly stroked Josh. His mate tossed his head from side to side, his hands fisted. Josh’s jaw tightened a moment before he thrust his hips up and Corbin felt the first drops of his cum run over his fist. Corbin continued to stroke his mate until the last tremor of his orgasm had subsided. Removing the cock sleeve, he put it aside and picked up a towel from beside the bed. He cleaned up his mate and himself before releasing Josh from the restraints.
“Permission to speak,” Josh mumbled, looking dazed.
“You may speak.”
“Is that it? I had thought...I mean, there are still toys in here we haven’t used. I’d thought there would be more to it.”
Corbin smiled. “There are other nights. But no, I’m not done with you tonight. Just no more BDSM for the night.”
“Why not?”
“Baby steps. I thought we’d cuddle for a while and then I can love you the way a mate should.” He smoothed Josh’s hair back from his face. “We aren’t finished tonight by a long shot. By the time I’m finished with you, your ass is going to be so sore you won’t want to sit down for several days.”
Josh grinned. “Promise?”
“Promise.”
Josh wrapped his arms around Corbin and kissed him hard, his tongue working its way past Corbin’s lips. The dragon took over the kiss, pinning his mate to the bed. When he pulled away, Josh smil
ed up at him.
“I love you. You know that, right?” Corbin asked.
“Yes. And I love you. My Dragon. My Dom. My everything.”
Whatever guiding force had led Corbin to Blueberry Hill, he would thank the gods every day for the rest of his life. He couldn’t have picked a better mate if he tried. Josh was sexy as hell, tough as nails, and so completely his.
With a contented smile on his face, Corbin stretched out beside his mate, wrapping him in his arms. Rest. They would rest and then Corbin would let the dragon out to play. It was going to be a night to remember for all time.
