“But staying away from nearly every kinky guy in town meant his dating choices were slim.” That was one of the big reasons I thought avoiding everyone at Leashes & Lace was a bad idea. “Sure, there would be drama if something happened but there’s drama when nothing happens, so I wouldn’t have worried about it.”
He cocked his head, thinking. “I don’t know what I’d have done in that situation.”
Shrugging, he grinned. “I guess I’m just lucky there are mostly subs and definitely no Daddies.”
Lucky for me, at least, but I wasn’t so sure being alone so long had been good for Ian.
“Do you think that’s just because the environment doesn’t appeal to them or do you think the hiring process and Eli in general keeps them away?” My question had Ian giggling, but I was serious in an odd kind of way. “I knew what to expect going in, so I wasn’t surprised. It would be a shock to other people, though.”
Ian huffed. “You’d think people would know to do research before applying with L and L, but you’d be surprised at the number of people who have no idea what we do.”
People were idiots.
That thought might’ve been a bit too clear on my face based on the way Ian laughed. “A few weeks ago, we had this older guy who wanted to work in accounting, I think. Rumor has it that he even made sure to mention his husband when he talked to Preston the first time.”
Shaking his head, Ian looked confused. “But there was clearly a disconnect because when he showed up, he was shocked to see the guys walking in for the shoot. They were even wearing clothes and he was disappointed in them for flaunting their bodies.”
I had to look like a shocked puppy, but I found myself closing my mouth as Ian giggled. “That’s crazy. People are so weird.”
But they weren’t our problem, so I looked down at the nearly empty plates before us. The burgers had been great, but it was getting late and Ian had confessed earlier that he needed to do a few things like laundry and getting groceries, so he couldn’t stay out all day.
“You ready to go?” I couldn’t resist teasing him as we both started to rise. “I think I owe you a story.”
And the blush was back.
He was so cute.
But he was feisty too.
Narrowing his gaze, he tried to look stern as he shook his head. “You’re just trying to make me squirm in here.”
Yep, and it was working.
Waggling my eyebrows, I rested a hand on my chest. “Would I do that?”
As he scoffed, we headed out the door since the bill had already been taken care of. By the time we got to his car, he was fighting off a grin. “You’re terrible.”
Leaning down, I whispered in his ear. “No, I’m terribly good at making you crazy is what you meant to say.”
His groan said I was right, but I behaved myself as we climbed into the SUV that I, thankfully, fit into. “Behave.”
“While you’re driving.” Which wouldn’t take long since we were just down the street from his apartment. But the weather had looked iffy, so we’d decided not to walk. “I just promised to behave while you were driving.”
Because making him blush was too much fun to give up so easily.
Sadly, we made it back to his place before I could find something else to tease him about that wouldn’t break the behaving while driving rule. But it was no longer in play once we closed the door to his apartment.
As soon as he flipped the lock, I wrapped my arms around him and gave him a long, slow kiss. Taking my time, I nibbled on his lips and took in his scent and the taste of him as he moaned into my mouth. When he started rocking his body against mine, rubbing his hardening cock against my thigh, I finally eased back.
Sprinkling kisses along his jaw, I teased around his ear as he sucked in a breath. “You…you make me forget…god…it was such a stupid rule.”
No, it was logical for a lot of reasons, emotional and physical.
“I want you to know I’m going to take care of you and that I’m taking this seriously, cutie.” Using my teeth to tug on his ear and send shivers through him, I pulled him tighter against me. “But…if you sat on my lap and made yourself come, that wouldn’t be breaking the rule.”
It’d just bend the spirit of it a bit.
Biting lower on his neck, I felt a rush as he moaned again. “But…I’d…you’d watch?”
I wasn’t sure what he was trying to say, but I nodded. “Yes, cutie. I’d love to watch you come. You’re sexy and sweet, and I can’t wait to see you cry out as your hand wraps around your hard cock.”
