The phone rang as Garrett was stumbling in the back door, bogged down under the weight of grocery bags and laptop. Cursing under his breath, he struggled to put the bags down and answer the beeping that was starting to drive him crazy.
The goal had been to be home and relaxed before the call came in. However, a late meeting and an insane trip to the grocery store ruined that plan. Finally untangling himself from the plastic bags that worked more like handcuffs than help, he swiped his finger across the screen. He couldn’t help the smile that spread across his face. He might be frustrated, but this was going to be the highlight of his day.
“Hello, Sweet. How was your day?” After their sexy, incredible date last weekend, Garrett’s second rule had been that Wyatt needed to call him at eight o’clock every night. Yes, he wanted to get to know his funny sub, but he had a naughtier motivation.
“It was good. I was at the store this morning but I got a lot done on the next pieces for the club. They’re turning out even better than I’d hoped. I think Ben and Conner are going to be really pleased.” Shy excitement was clear in his voice. Wyatt was having a hard time talking about his work with someone new.
He was also a bit embarrassed and more than a little turned on about what was going to be the next part of their conversation. “Were you careful in the shop?”
“Yes, Master. I locked the doors and didn’t stay too late.” His voice earnest, it was obvious he wanted to please Garrett.
“Very good.” Garrett leaned against the counter and relaxed. Now the fun part. “Did you behave yourself?”
There was the slightest hesitation, need was starting to thread through his words. “Yes. I was good.”
“You didn’t play with your cock? You followed directions and left it alone? I know you probably woke up hard and needy this morning. Didn’t you?” This wasdefinitelythe best part of his day.
They might not know each other well enough to jump into a full-time D/s relationship too soon but that didn’t mean Garrett wasn’t going to try to give the boy what he needed. To start, that meant evening calls to explain what he’d done that day and confirming he’d left his hard on alone. Of course, that made Wyatt’ssituationeven morefrustratingbut the sexy sub seemed to love the torturous denial.
“I didn’t touch it, Master. I…I woke up hard, but I left it alone.” There was a hint of embarrassment in his voice but Garrett knew he was also hard as a rock.
“What were you dreaming about that made you so hard?” Garrett had to reach down and adjust his own cock that was starting to harden.
Wyatt gave a little groan. “I was dreaming about this weekend…and what you said about…about me needing to be punished again.”
“So you were fantasizing about being naked for me? Being bent over the spanking bench? How it would feel when my hand came down on your naked ass? Oh, someone was anaughty boy. Are you supposed to be getting hard thinking aboutpunishments?” If he weren’t in the kitchen, Garrett would have had his cock out, stroking it off to the pictures in his head and the breathy sounds of Wyatt’s need.
“I’m sorry, Master.” He sounded sorrier that he was turned on and couldn’t come, but Garrett wasn’t going to complain. He wanted the sexy sub needy and focused on their plans for the weekend.
“Good boy.” Time to distract them both, he had groceries to put away. “Tell me more about your day? Did you have fun at the shop?”
Wyatt gave a frustrated huff, but he didn’t complain. “Yes. Kind of. Carter was in the shop and normally we have fun. Even moving stock around and talking with boring people is entertaining, but he’s been frustrated lately.”
“Still upset about that bad date?” Garrett pushed off the counter and turned around to start putting groceries away.
“That’s probably part of it but I think it’s more like he’s just frustrated with everything. I wish there was something I could do to help.”
“Did you still want to take him up to the club sometime? We could go as a group. That way, he wouldn’t feel like he was doing it alone.” Putting the vegetables away, Garrett had a nagging feeling that he forgot something.
“Yes! I think it would be perfect for him. He needs a good guy. Ideally, a good Dominant but at this point, I think he’d take someone who wasn’t much of a Dom but was open-minded.” Wyatt sighed. Garrett could hear how worried Wyatt was for his friend.
“I’d say we should go up this weekend but we’ve got a family barbecue and that’s kind of mandatory. Are you going to help me figure out a dessert to bring over?”
“Me?” Wyatt’s shock was almost comical.
“Yes. How else can I introduce my boy to my family?” That’s what he’d forgotten, the barbecue.
“Oh.”
Garrett tried not to laugh, but the utter horror in that one word was obvious.
“It’s not funny. What if they hate me?”
“They don’t hate you. They’ve all met you and thought you were cute and funny.”
“They have?”
“Yes. Most of the time when you came in topay your billsthere were other people in the office, right? Brent is constantly in and out and Grant, Bryce, and I have meetings in my office several times a week. My conference room is nicer than theirs.” Yeah, he might have gotten a kick out of that but it drove the other two nuts so he had to mention it on a regular basis.
