“Red to stop it all and yellow to slow itdown.” Repeating the words made both of us more relaxed, but it made me feelsafe too. Not because of the words, but because I knew he wanted to keep mesafe as he pushed my limits.
He was my Dom…my Master, maybe.
It wasn’t a role we’d strictly defined yet,but everything he’d done so far had been to make me happy or help me todiscover something about myself.
Was that what he was doing now?
Before I could get a grasp of what he wasleading me toward, the car slowed to a stop and I felt him kiss me gently.“Open your eyes.”
Obeying, I saw we’d pulled in front of asmall store. We were there.
Releasing my dick, Porter shifted andturned my face toward his. “You do not have to do this to make me happy.”
I nodded. “But it’s a good way for me tofigure out what I like and how it would feel to be touched in front of otherpeople.”
Porter smiled in agreement. “Why Derek?”
That took a second, but I thought I got it whenI sorted through everything he’d said. “Because he’s someone you respect, buthe’s not someone you hang out with all the time, so if it turns out that Idon’t like it, then I don’t have to see him every week?”
Chuckling, he nodded. “And he won’t thinkbadly no matter how it goes because as a switch he understands where both of usare coming from. “
“So he knows why we’d be turned on and whywe’d be worried and because of what he sells, he’s a good person to make surewe buy the right kind of…the right kind of cage for me.” Who’d have thoughtthat sentence would’ve ever come out of my mouth.
Porter gave me a reassuring smile. “Andhe’s a nice guy. His style of domination is a bit different from most of theguys you met at the club. Picture a toned-down Conner, but as a Dom.”
Oh, interesting.
“So…flirty?” I turned toward the building,curious about the man inside.
“Come on.” Instead of answering, Porterleaned over and gave me a quick kiss. “I’ll come around and open the door foryou. Unbuckle but sit there with your hands in your lap.”
Having an order to obey, even a simple one,made everything easier. Focusing on that and remembering that I was making himhappy had my nerves settling even more by the time he’d grabbed his bag out ofthe back seat and came around the other side of the car.
All I had to do was obey instructions andreact.
That was simple.
I kept repeating that to myself as Porterhelped me out of the car and walked us to the door, holding my hand. Derek musthave been watching for us because it opened before Porter could knock.
“Hey, come on in.” Porter had been right,Derek was about my age, and at first glance, I wouldn’t have guessed he was aDom, but after studying the other Dom in the bathroom scene, it was easier tosee the presence that Derek had as well.
“Thanks for opening early for us. Iappreciate it.” Porter reached out and gave Derek a hug when the man leaned in.It put me close to him for a few seconds, but as he pulled away, he gave memore distance and didn’t try to shake hands or hug me.
“No problem. I always have time for friends,especially ones that are in a new relationship.” Turning his focus to me, Dereksmiled warmly, but there was a hint of something like control in it. “It’s niceto meet you, Landon. Can I ask you a few questions?”
Nodding, I swallowed and tried to sound relaxed.“Sure.”
This was not unexpected.
“You know why you’re here and you know yoursafewords, right? Can you tell me them?” Derek looked to Porter quickly. “Gotto double-check since I haven’t met him before. You understand.”
Porter nodded, squeezing my hand and notlooking offended in the least. “I’m glad you’re looking out for him.”
Porter had made sure I understood thatDerek wouldn’t do anything unless he knew I was into it too, but that meant Ihad to talk and not hide what I was feeling. That might be the hardest part ofall, unless Porter took a bit more control.
Glancing over at Porter, I inched closerand tilted my head just a bit. He chuckled and moved his hand to the back of myneck. That left my hands free, though, and the damned pants didn’t have realpockets.
Now I knew why that made my sister so nuts.
