Kai’s brain melted like he knew it would when Nolan called him his boy. He nodded eagerly, desperate for everything that Nolan was promising, the reasons he was supposed to be here forgotten for the moment. “I’m gonna strip you bare and make you kneel for me. Edge you until you beg me to let you come. I might have to get a little inventive. I think you’re going to keep me on my toes. You’ll have a safe word though, and I’ll never do anything without talking to you first. Understood?”
His words were hot, but what was really doing it for Kai was the steady stare down like he’d given him before brunch. The one that said he meant business.
“Yeah.” His voice sounded weak, but that was how he felt right now. Weak all over.
“Yeah…?”
“Yes, Daddy.”
Nolan dove for his mouth, devouring him.
“That word from your mouth. You don’t know what it does to me,” he ground out just as he ground his dick roughly against Kai’s.
“Can I touch you?” Kai remembered to ask even as he rocked his hips against Nolan.
“Not yet. We have rules to discuss.”
Kai groaned, and Nolan chuckled. “A little more business, baby. Be patient for me.” That thing in Kai’s chest purred again. Nolan could ask for a kidney from him in that voice and Kai would carve it from his body. “If we’re doing this, we’re doing it exclusively. Your cock is mine alone.”
Kai nodded, and Nolan continued. “That means you don’t play with it without my permission either.”
Kai balked, his back going straight. He was the first to admit he was a dirty little horn dog. He didn’t know if he could promise that.
Nolan seemed to see his hesitation. “If you need to come, you ask me first. I might say yes. I might make you show me.”
Kai nodded frantically, thrilled at the mental picture of Nolan watching him jerk off.
“You want to touch me, you want to suck me? You ask, and I expect you to use your manners. For this to work, we need to talk to each other and we need to be able to trust each other. If something isn’t working, I expect you to say so. Understand?”
“Yes, Daddy.”
“Good boy.”
Goosebumps erupted all over Kai’s body hearing those words, and, for the first time in his life, he wanted to earn that. For those words to really be true.
Once again, Nolan appeared to read him like a book. “Hmm. I think the boy likes that. You like being my good boy, Kai?”
“I need it.” His hands were clenched in Nolan’s shirt. He didn’t know where those words came from, but they were the truth. This was who he was meant to be. For the first time in his whole life, everything felt right. Like all of the little cogs in his life had finally,finally, aligned, putting him right where he was supposed to be.
Nolan’s face went soft, and the tenderness there had Kai’s throat tightening.
“You need to be my good boy?” he asked softly. Kai nodded. “Okay, baby. Last question and then the boy gets his reward. Tell me what you don’t like.”
“Don’t be mean to me. Don’t leave me alone.” He thought about it for a second. “I don’t want to be tied up, and no blindfolds.”
Nolan was paying rapt attention, like everything Kai said was of vital importance.
“Anything else?”
“Can you ask Katie for the checklist?”
“I’ll text her first thing in the morning, and then we’ll go over it together.” Nolan grinned. “Do you want to spend the night with me, Kai?”
“Fuck yes.”
Nolan chuckled low in his throat.
“Wrap your legs around me, Kai. Let me take you to bed.”
