“Tell me about it?” He wanted to know everything.
“You mean the specifics of aftercare or the men who taught me how to be a Dom?”
“Yes.” Everything.
Dave chuckled and kissed the top of his head again. “Janus and his sub Peotre let me live with them for nearly a year when I finished my bachelors. I learned so much from them.”
“Wow. A year? Do they do it all the time?”
Dave chuckled softly. “They had jobs, just like we do, so no, not all the time. Most weekends, many evenings. They did live the lifestyle 24/7. Peotre served his Master always.”
He shivered, hoping Dave didn’t feel it. That would be something else.
“Does the idea appeal to you?”
“What idea? I don’t have an answer to that.”
“The idea of being a full-time submissive. I think it appeals to you.”
“I don’t… I don’t even know that I can….”
“Shh.” Dave nuzzled his neck and stroked his belly. “Easy, love. Just breathe, huh? This is easy. This is the safest place on earth.”
“The safest place on earth. I like that.”
“It’s the truth. I know the things I talk about appeal to you, even if the questions I ask often worry you. But it’s also the truth that you are your own person, and you can do anything you want. Nobody else gets to judge you for what you do privately.”
“I don’t want you to think I’m too needy.”
“You shouldn’t have to worry about what I might think either. Revel in who you are, because you are amazing. And for the record—I don’t think you’re too needy. Let me tell you the most important thing I observed while I lived with Janus and Peotre. I have never seen two men who were more balanced together, who were more in love. And Peotre had as much power as Janus in the relationship. Janus needed his sub as much as his sub needed him.” Dave nuzzled his ear. “I need this. I crave it. I crave you and your submission.”
The words made him tremble.
“I mean it, Kenn. And on top of that, I love you.”
Tears fill Kenn’s eyes, and he held on. Tight. Dave held him in turn, arms like warm bands around him.
“I don’t want you to feel bad about the things you want and need, because I want them too. I need them too.”
“That was… incredibly erotic. Earlier.” Dave deserved that admission.
“Yeah, it was super hot. But mostly because I had you in my arms, writhing and needy, wanting.”
“Because you were here with me.”
“Yes, exactly.” Dave sounded so pleased.
“I’m glad you didn’t listen to my text.”
“I was already at the door when I got it, but yeah, I’m glad I didn’t listen to it either.” Dave tilted his head and took a kiss, long and slow. Kenn turned in Dave’s arms and pushed close, allowing himself to snuggle in.
“I love you,” Dave said again, the words soft but so real against his lips.
“I love you.” God help him, he did.
“Oh. I was hoping you did. Or would. I’m glad you do.” Dave kissed him again.
“Yes.” Kenn let them float. Together.
Chapter Fourteen
DAVE HUMMED softly as he buttered the toast and added it to the little tray he was putting together for Kenn. His boy deserved breakfast in bed, though he was afraid he was going to have to wake Kenn up, or it would go cold. Honestly, he’d thought the smell of breakfast cooking would do the trick. On the other hand, he supposed Kenn had had a very big evening.
It had been rather glorious. Dave found himself grinning like a fool.
Kenn was melted, hidden in the sheet, tight little butt up in the air. It made him want to go over and spank it.
It was Saturday. They had all day today, tomorrow. He actually got a little weak in the knees.
He took the veggie bacon out of the pan and added it to the tray, then put eggs in the pan, scrambling them about.
“Mmm. Smells good.” Kenn rolled out of bed and padded toward the bathroom. “Be back.”
“Breakfast, and you’re up just in time.” He watched Kenn make his way to the bathroom, admiring. “You want coffee? Tea?”
“Coffee please.”
He turned the button for the coffee machine, which he’d set up in case that was what Kenn wanted. He was back to humming as he got the mugs prepped.
Kenn came to him, robe on, face washed. “Morning.”
He opened his arms and wrapped Kenn in a hug before taking a lazy morning kiss. “Hi.”
Kenn leaned into him, offering him a sweet little smile. “Thank you for breakfast.”
“You’re very welcome. Though I should admit, I have an ulterior motive.” He filled their coffee cups.
“You do? What do you need?” Kenn grabbed the creamer from the fridge.
“I need for you to have a good meal so that you’ve got a lot of energy.”
“Do we have plans?” He loved that innocent blink.
“We do. Wonderful plans for exploration and enjoyment.”
“Okay. Well, breakfast looks good. Do you want jam for your toast?”
“No, I’m going to eat it with my eggs, but if you want jam, go for it.” He moved the food from the tray to the little table, making the decision not to have breakfast in bed.
Kenn kept touching him, stroking his arm, his hip.
He loved the touches, the connection. He put their coffees on the table with their food. “Okay, babe. Time to eat.”
“Veggie bacon for the win!” Kenn had teased the hell out of him, but Dave had to admit, the man had been good about it.
“It tastes great with eggs.” He didn’t chow down on it like people tended to do with the real thing, but he liked the salty crunch it added. “And it’s got texture.”
“It makes a fine egg sandwich.”
“Indeed.” He loved that Kenn was more than happy to eat vegetarian with him.
Kenn ate, chatting with him, comfortable as they drank their coffee.
He loved how bright and easy Kenn was after their first scene together. It made him feel that he was definitely on the right path. Kenn truly got so much out of it.
“You’re thinking hard today,” Kenn said. “Do you have a lot of work to do?”
“No, a lot of pleasure. I was thinking about how well yesterday evening went and how I want to continue in that vein today. How that seems to suit you.”
Kenn’s cheeks went pink. “You think so?”
“I do. Look at how relaxed and happy you are this morning.”
“I slept well. No dreams.”
“That’s great. I thought after we eat we could do some more toy shopping online. After seeing that video yesterday, I want to get a flogger and a much bigger plug. Maybe a nice-sized dildo too.”
Kenn’s eyes went wide. “What?”
“I think you heard what I said.” He thought Kenn probably needed a moment to process. Maybe two.
“Oh. Oh dear.” So prim. So proper.
He reached out to take Kenn’s hand and wrapped his fingers around it. “This is a safe place to talk about these kind of things, Kenn. To explore them.”
“It’s easier to talk about it in the dark.”
“How about we go talk about it in bed while we’re cuddling?” He could give Kenn that much.
“I can live with that.” Kenn’s cheeks were bright red.
“Excellent.” He was so pleased Kenn was always willing to try.
“I’ll do the dishes. You cooked.”
“That’s fair. I’ll refresh the bed and boot up the laptop. Find our favorite toy store.”
Kenn turned on some music and cleaned up the kitchen, taking maybe a little too long.
He cleared his throat. “Don’t rub the pattern off the dishes, babe.”
“Huh? No. Just washing them.” Kenn rinsed the last dish, then dried off his hands.
“Take off your robe and come to bed, babe. It’s cold over here without you.”
Kenn snuggled into him, settling hard. “You’re warm.”
“Gotta make sure my boy isn’t cold.”
He loved that blush. Loved it.
Kissing Kenn’s cheek, he clicked on the link on the laptop, bringing up a picture of a huge dildo that was very reminiscent of the one in the video. “What do you think?”
Kenn jerked in his lap, hips pushing hard into the basket of his hips.
“Mmm. That feels like an ‘oh my God, yes’ to me.”
“That’s big.” Kenn’s whisper echoed in him.
“It is. Not as big as the one in that video, but it’s close.” He thought Kenn wanted to try it. “We’ll have to work up to that size.”
“I—shh.”
“We will. You can’t start with a great big one like that. I don’t want to hurt you. I want to bring you intense pleasure.” He leaned in and whispered softly, “I want to stretch your hole, boy. I want to be the one to push your boundaries.”
“Dave!”
Yeah, like that. He knew simply talking about it was pushing Kenn’s boundaries right now. But he also knew Kenn wanted so badly to be pushed past them and into the things he saw.
“Now for a bigger plug and a flogger. Maybe some leather cuffs.” He added them to his cart.
Kenn squeaked but didn’t say anything.
“You see anything you want me to add to our purchase today?”
“No. No, this is more than enough.”
“We need at least one more dildo—in between my cock and the big dildo size. Maybe two.” He clicked around the site, checking out dimensions. He ordered two of those and a soft flogger that would warm his boy’s skin. He’d have to see how Kenn felt about pain. He knew the roughness and flogger had been part of the scene, but he also knew Kenn had no practical experience with it, so who knew which way it would go?
Who knew what excitements they could discover together?
He put in his credit card information and hit Purchase. “Ta-da! We are going to have so much fun exploring when this arrives.”
“Listen to you.”
“Um-hum.” He loved having Kenn here at his mercy. “It’s going to be so exciting, slowly opening you up. Getting you to the point where you can take the big dildo.”
“I can’t….”
Oh, Kenn could. Kenn so could.
“Of course you can. And if there’s a problem, you safeword. It’s going to be grand.”
He began to stroke one nipple, nice and easy. He wanted to rev Kenn up gradually. He knew this would slowly drive Kenn out of his mind.
In a good way. In the best way.
He licked at Kenn’s neck, and Kenn tilted for him, letting him in. Humming, he nuzzled further, using his lips and his tongue and breathing Kenn in. Kenn’s eyelids went heavy as they breathed together.
“Can you feel that? How we’re already more in sync after last night?”
“Is that real?” Kenn hummed deep in his chest.
“Can’t you feel it? We’re breathing together,” he pointed out.
“I can. It’s… comforting.”
“It is. I think it feels amazing to be in sync.”
“Yes.” Kenn leaned into his chest.
“That’s the goal of the Dom/sub relationship. To be better versions of ourselves. To be wonderful together.”
Kenn’s answer was a soft moan.
Dave bent his neck and brought their mouths together, touching his lips to Kenn’s. Kenn opened up, hand touching his fingers on that sweet nipple. He loved how he had Kenn’s full attention.
He didn’t let Kenn pull him away, though. This was his call. He continued with a few more soft caresses, then pinched, knowing the sharper touch would be totally unexpected after the much gentler strokes.
“Uhn!” Kenn jerked, sat up tall. “Careful.”
“I’m being very mindful of my touches.” Incredibly, even. He wanted Kenn to be utterly aware of those nipples, the tip of his cock. All the places Dave intended to have pierced.
“Imagine my pinches are the end of a needle going into your skin as you’re being pierced.” Dave pinched again—one nipple and then the other, followed by the tip of Ken’s cock.
“Shh. Stop that.”
“No way. I know you enjoy hearing my plans.” Got off on it was actually more accurate. Kenn loved to use that vast imagination. “I know you love thinking about what if you were the sub in the videos you watch.”
“Dave, I don’t know that we should talk about that.”
“Oh, I disagree. We should most definitely talk about it. I love you. I want to hear what goes on in your mind. Especially what turns you on.” He wasn’t going to let Kenn hide; he didn’t want Kenn to feel that he had to. There was nothing wrong with Kenn’s desires. Nothing at all. They excited him, they excited Kenn. They were perfect.
“Talk to me, Kenn. Tell me what’s on your mind.”
“I don’t know how. I never really talk about it as something to do with me.”
“I think you should give it a try. Just tell me what you’re thinking, honestly thinking about—not the ‘oh, I shouldn’t say’ part, but the part beneath that.”
“Last night was wild. Exciting.”
“I liked it too. I’m so glad we can explore that kind of thing together.”
Kenn leaned back, snuggling in deep. “You’re making my nipple ache, Dave.”
“Uh-huh. And you’re loving it.”
“We should stop. They’re tender.”
“Tomorrow, whenever your shirt brushes against them, they’ll ache, and you’ll remember the things we did—both yesterday and today.” He nuzzled Kenn’s ear. “And tomorrow.”
Kenn cried out, pushing harder back into him.
“That’s right. I’m going to spend the whole weekend working to make some of your fantasies come true. Or at the very least, find out what they are. Maybe we’ll call a piercing studio. We could get nipples and cock done this afternoon, and I could spend the next day caring for you.”
“We can’t!” Kenn’s protest came immediately and right on cue.
“Why not?”
“Because I… I’m a teacher!”
“I’ve seen what you wear to class, babe, and no one would be able to see the piercings. No one would know.” He teased the flesh at the head of Kenn’s cock, toying with it. “There will be a sweet heavy ring here, small ones in your nips.”
He could feel Kenn’s heartbeat against his chest, pounding away like it was running a race.
“We should call and see if we can get in. If we can’t, then it’s a sign.” Dave was pretty sure they could.
Kenn’s breathing was little more than soft gasps, and his hands curled on Dave’s thighs.
“Can you imagine it? It would look amazing. It would feel amazing.” He nibbled gently, tugging Kenn’s earlobe. “I’d hold your hand the whole time. Then bring you home, fuck you until you didn’t have a drop of seed left in you.”
A shudder moved through Kenn’s body, and Dave loved that he could make Kenn react like that with nothing but his words.
“Tell me we can call, boy. Tell me.”
“Dave….” Kenn groaned softly, nodding.
“Thank you.” He tilted Kenn’s head and kissed him hard and deep, rewarding him for saying yes.
Kenn whimpered and leaned into him with a soft little cry. He cradled Kenn, deepening the kiss, letting it linger right there. Even while his mouth was busy, his brain was buzzing.
He needed to find a body piercer. He could actually give Janus a call. He would bet that his old friend would have some recommendations. Someone who would take his boy today, decorate nips and cock.
When their kisses ended, he reached for his phone and sent a text off to J
anus.
give me 10 to make some calls.
He could totally do that. He knew how to spend those ten minutes too. “My friend is on it.”
“You sure that’s not cheating?”
“Absolutely not. I don’t want to go to just anyone. This has to be a reputable piercer. One who works safe. One who is the best. No one else touches you.”
Kenn’s cheeks went a sweet pink. “If there’s an opening today.”
“That was our deal.” And he was hoping like hell there was. The fact that Kenn had even considered the deal proved how much he really wanted it.
“Okay. Yes.” Kenn snuggled into him.
“Mmm. Have you ever noticed how perfectly you fit?” He had a Kenn-shaped spot along his side.
“I have. It’s amazing and so warm.”
“You’re amazing and warm.” He rubbed their noses, then shifted, turning it into a kiss. Teasing Kenn’s lips open, he slipped his tongue inside. He loved how Kenn tasted, and the wet warmth was delicious.
Kenn cuddled in farther, their legs tangling together. He grabbed hold of Kenn’s thigh, tugging him even closer. The warmth they generated together was incredible, was just what they both needed.
“My boy. I can’t wait to see the jewelry decorating you. Would you like to show me your other video?”
“Oh. I thought you’d forgotten about it.”
Dave couldn’t help but tease. “Thought or hoped?”
“Sort of both, I think. More thought than hoped.”
“Good deal. So let’s see it. I want to see this man with all the piercings that intrigued you so.”
“Wh-what about you? You are supposed to share too.”
“We’ll figure something out for me to share later. I think this video would be a fun way to spend the ten or fifteen minutes it’ll take Janus to give me a name.”
He nuzzled Kenn’s temple, encouraging his boy to relax, to share this with him. They’d enjoyed themselves last night, so much. He petted Kenn’s belly and breathed slowly, loving that Kenn gradually matched his tempo.
That felt so right, so natural. So fucking real.
Dave nuzzled their cheeks together as Kenn pulled up the second video. “I’m excited,” he whispered.
