He honestly looked like he thought Keeganwas speaking Greek.
That just got another sigh from our dramaqueen. “Julian is feeling uncomfortable and he’s trying not to make thingsworse.”
How did he seem so distracted but see somuch?
Fucking artists.
“He is?” Niall’s gaze stayed glued toKeegan. “He can stand up for himself. I’m not supposed to be an asshole andconstantly take over.”
Great.
Nowhelearned that lesson.
“When he’s in Dom mode, that’s right.”Keegan rocked back and forth like he was leading Niall to the answer. “Whenhe’s not in Dom mode, what do you think he would like?”
The whole thing was too awkward for me tokeep watching, so I shifted and looked up at the ceiling. As Niall thoughtquietly, I tried to decide if there were smudges on the ceiling or if it wasshadows. Knowing Keegan, he’d probably gotten distracted and had thrown aneraser or something up there.
“If someone was not in a dominant frame ofmind, they might need someone else to take control of the situation to feelsafe.” Niall went quiet for a moment. “He doesn’t see me like that, though. Mytaking control makes him angry.”
Keegan leaned forward and gave him a quickkiss. “’Cause you were doing it all the time and not just when he needed it.”
“I can’t turn it off as easily as he seemsto think I can.” The words seemed almost painful for Niall to say. “Subs needto be protected, but he just…I honestly don’t understand switching back andforth.”
What the fuck had happened to him?
There was nothing familiar in his logic.
“We’re not going to make you guess.” Keegankissed him again. “I’ll tell you when he’s not feeling like Master Julian andhe just wants to be Julian with you. Then you’ll know he wants you to make thedecisions. Once we get some practice and he sees you can go back and forth withhim, then I think he’ll start to tell you too.”
God, this sounded all kinds of fucked up.
And I was including myself in that.
“That would be helpful.” His tone was toosincere for it to be just some asshole comment, but I couldn’t understand anyof it.
Thankfully, Keegan seemed to be able to graspit, so I let our boy continue to steer the conversation.
“I’m glad, Master Niall.” Keegan snuggledcloser to Niall, kissing his neck before reaching out to stroke my chest. “Willyou kiss him now and show me how my sexy men make up? You’re so hot together.”
“We are?” Niall seemed to realize that wasan odd response because he cleared his throat. “Wicked boy.”
Keegan giggled. “But my men are so sexy andI want to see you kiss…and I think Julian would like you to kiss him too.”
I hated feeling so mixed up inside.
I was confident in my submissive sidealmost ninety-nine percent of the time, but he just made me insane. He alwayshad. From the first time he’d really started to open up about what he wanted ina sub and how he saw submission, he’d rubbed me the wrong way.
Now I was starting to really wonder why.
Keegan kissed Niall’s neck again. “Show himthat you find his Dom side and his sub side strong and sexy, Master.”
Did he?
“What did you think of him posing earlier?”Keegan’s quiet tone filled with desire as the conversation shifted again. “Hewas so hard and so stern-looking. I just had to suck his cock.”
The needy shiver that raced through Keeganseemed to be what pushed Niall’s brain into gear. His chuckle was dark and sentanother wave of pleasure through both of us that time. “You were fascinating towatch, but yes, he was strong and sexy. There was just a bit of fire in hiseyes that said you were right on the edge of being bent over any second.”
Niall was right, but what caught myattention was the sound in his voice when he said I was sexy. He’d likedwatching me?
