He chuckled as he dropped his voice low.“Use your safeword with the little drill sergeant if you need to.”
Trying not to laugh, I nodded. “Yes,Master.”
I got another kiss before he relaxed hishold on me and let me turn back to Asa and Landon. I saw Landon lean closeagain, that time focusing on Asa. “I think that should answer some of yourquestions.”
I wasn’t sure what they were talking aboutor if Landon was teasing us somehow, but Asa nodded like he was taking whateverthey were talking about very seriously.
Deciding to ignore it, I turned to Asa.“Are you allowed to question me now?”
He nodded, not even cracking a smile. “Yes.As long as you’re aware that this is a situation where safewords should be usedwhen necessary.”
Good grief.
With anyone else I would’ve thought theywere fucking with me, but I knew he was serious, so I tried not to smile. “I’llremember that.”
That seemed to give him permission to stopholding back because he studied me closely as he picked his first question. “Myfirst thoughts when you mentioned your charge was that your Master should behelping you more, but my second was about how you would make being both afather and submissive work.”
Oh, he went right for the good stuff.
Why couldn’t he have asked what we liked todo in bed?
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Landoninching closer, nearly falling off the cushion he was balanced on. Clearly Asawasn’t the only person who thought it was an important question.
“Well, it’s kind of a work in progressbecause we’re new and I’m still getting used to having Becca all the time, butwell, it’s nice.” That was clear as mud, so I tried again. “I mean, I make mostof the decisions about Becca, but he takes what needs to be done and figuresout how we balance everything and…and I guess how to execute the plan.”
I wasn’t sure if that was helpful or evenif that was touching on what they really wanted to know, so I kept going. “Whenwe have time at night or during her nap, that’s when we do more elaboratescenes, but there are a lot of little ways he shows that he’s still my Dom evenwhen we’re at the park or he’s just playing with Becca.”
Was that helpful?
Asa must’ve realized I needed somevalidation or at least some feedback because he nodded and responded like wewere discussing legal issues or a court case.
He was really interesting.
“Yes, submission can be shown in a varietyof nonsexual ways.” It was almost like listening to a professor. “One of theeasiest is schedules and check-ins with phone calls and text messages. It’ssurprisingly effective at conveying the emotions involved in ownership andcontrol.”
“Yeah, I hadn’t thought about thatspecifically, but I can see how that would work.” Warner had taken to touchingbase a few times a day no matter if we were going to meet in person or not. Itwas easy to imagine him enjoying a rule like that.
“I’ve got a list of other nonsexual optionsif you’d like me to send you a copy.” He didn’t seem to be surprised when weboth nodded.
Landon clearly thought it was interestingtoo. “There are a lot of small ways a Dom can show ownership. People justusually jump to sex and collars first.”
Well, yeah, my brain jumped to sex first,but second seemed to be pain.
“When I think about Master controlling me,I think of sex then pain.” I shivered as I imagined the crop coming down on me.“He’s got this crop…yeah…that’s what I think of.”
Landon grinned, but Asa was studying melike I was a fascinating creature he’d just discovered. “What is it about thepain? Is it significantly stronger than a spanking?”
I wasn’t sure I had the words to describeit, but I knew Asa wouldn’t have asked if he didn’t want an answer.
“Think of it like different kinds ofpepper. Some are really mild like the kind people keep on the table. That’s howI picture a spanking. The flogger is a bit more, and the crop has more of abite, but in small doses, it makes everything incredible.” Did that soundright?
“But I think the thing to remember is thatyou can always just do a little at a time. The pain can really vary dependingon how he uses it and where he hits.” Just talking about it was making me evenharder. “I like it, but Master is always really gentle with it.”
Did that make sense?
I wanted to look up at Master and make surethat was a good way to explain it, but I wasn’t sure if that would make Asauncomfortable. Nothing seemed to fluster him, but I wasn’t sure what I would’vewanted if our situations had been reversed, so I resisted the urge.
“Interesting. Thank you.”
